What have you done for me lately?

I was told today by one of my children...I do nothing for her. this prompted me to compile a quick list- just what I can think of off the top of my head.

Lets see well start with

★ carried you inside my own body for 9+ months. Eating well,  sleeping well, not drinking or smoking and ttaking vitimans that made me gag.
★ THIRTY SIX HOURS of labor and pushing...your head by the way was OVER the 100 percentile in size (larger than most)
★ I awoke every time you did, for at least 6 months that was more than once per night.
★wiped your butt. Changed your clothes. Cleaned your vomit.
★ Dr visits. One well ccheck per year, not to mention ER visits in the middle of the night when Dr was closed
★ taught you to walk, talk, count, your body parts, animal sounds, numbers, answered all your "why's" (there were a lot! )
★signed you up for sschool. Made sure you were dressed fed and ready. Worried if you remembered your lunch code, did you make friends, were kids being nice to you, were you being nice, did you eat your lunch, did you find your bus
★ threw you birthday parties,  took you to friend birthday parties. Bought gifts for both.
★ help with homework, projects, take you to library bought school supplies
★ clothed you and got you new shoes for 16 years. Pads tampons makeup hairstuff haircuts. I not only took you to get those things....but paid. For. Them too.
★kept a. Steady job. A. Consistent roof over your head and all the needed bills on. Even paid for your cell service for 3 years.
★ Took you to apply for jobs. To interviews. To and from work. Bought you work clothes.
★last but certainly not least I have came and gotten you ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION when you were in trouble. Had I not come and "bailed you out" so to speak....you wouldn't have been at home in your own bed those nights.
★taking you to court tomorrow and to a lawyers last week.

Your right though. I don't do anything for you. This house is HORRIBLE your on the verge of abused daily and I don't care about you one little bit. That is obvious in all the things I dont do for you.

Life sucks now?  Wait till your eighteen!

I became a mom very young. I missed a lot of. Opportunities for myself. never once. Have I. Wished to change a thing. Never once have I felt ANY of my children were mistakes.

I got my GED. I got married. I cook healthy meals. I saved and budget so that we have a roof over our heads. Quite frankly I feel I do a LOT and what's more....even when no one notices, or no one cares, or when you hate me for having "stupid rules" when your lying, in trouble, slamming a door in my face or bad mouthing me to your boyfriend....I always love you....just as much as I loved you the day you were born. The day my life changed forever because that day I knew what a mothers love felt like.

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have L

Sleep IN Sundays!!!

My kids know this rule. For the most part. Sundays Mama sleeps in. Get yourself cereal, be quiet and get along... Then I go and do something foolish, like allow 3 of 4 kids to have a friend over, which makes SEVEN kids in one house. One of which, apparently did NOT know the sleep in Sunday rule, even in the SLIGHTEST :o/ Of course when one kid wakes up, or at least this kid wakes up. ALL the kids are up. This did, help my ease of getting them all in bed this evening, but even so! ACK! The weekend went well. We spent time together at the park. All but Destiny of course, who has her own life now. I took some pictures I really liked. I am too lazy to post them here. If you want to see them you can go here. www.flickr.com/clorissasue Anyway that is all I have for now. I started a new blog, you can see it here . It will be for cooking, and recipes and such. This one will be kept for kids and life and bitching :) Just what I needed. Something more to do :)

Call CPS this must stop now!!!

 My daughter, my oldest, the one I am a taxi for has had a ride to AND FROM several places where she was supposed to catch a ride home from this week. The library, she said she had a ride home, then the ride "left without her". The mall, I told her she'd be picked up by Tim when he got off work, and they were COLD and her friend had FLIP FLOPS on and no one came to the mall so can I get them now... She stayed the night at a friends and instead of waiting for friends mom to bring her home, she HAD to be picked up by 1 so she could go to a friends...  That friends? She was supposed to walk HOME from and she called for a ride.  So today it was lovely out. 65 or so out, sunny. School was out and Tim had to get the other kids first, as he stayed for a play Hannah was in... Well he did not pick up Destiny. I told her she could walk. For 30 min. I am NOT KIDDING 30 MIN. She sent him and I text after text asking to pick her up.  PLEASE I will clean, I cleaned my room, its &qu
