I DID IT!!!!! I Really Did It!

I started another website. Don't get your panties in a bunch I am still keeping this one, because let's face it...I need a place where I can swear, rant, rave, and embarrass my children. Plus I like all my blogger friends that I have found through this blog. If you like me when I am this bad then you'll love me on my other site. I just started it so don't get all judgemental when you check it out. It's a work in progress and I still have some content to add. Oh you want to know what kind of site it is, well it's the best kind...a giveaway site. Why? Because as hard as it is for you all to believe I am quite opinionated...yeah I know it's a shock, but we'll get through it together. I like giving people reviews on products and just about anything else. I pretty much have an opinion about everything. So go check it out and love me more...

Step Dad?

My six year old son is a laugh a minute. I have no idea where he gets his ideas from or his vocabulary. This is a conversation we had this past week.

Son: "Mom, I want Coach Jason to be my step dad."

Me: (Look at my husband and snicker) "Well okay...Do you know what would have to happen in order for that to happen?"

Son: Looks at me like he's ready to drop a turd.

Me: "I would have to divorce daddy and marry Coach Jason."

Son: "Okay"

Me: (roll eyes and laugh, drop subject)

Next Day,

Son: "Mom I really want Coach Jason to be my step dad."

Me: "Sweetheart, that means Riley ( Coach Jason's son who just happens to be in the same class) would be your brother."

Son: "SWEET! Would Spencer still be my brother?"

Me: "Yes, Spencer will always be your brother."

Son: "That means (BIG SMILE) my last name would be Dunlap."

Me: "Well what would Riley's mom and daddy do? They would be all alone and lonely."

Son: "They could marry each other."

Me: "Well, I'm glad we got that settled."

We DON"T Do Cards

                     Ten years and two weeks ago today we buried my best friend. I can't believe it has been that long. WOW! I still miss you daddy like it was yesterday. (yes I call him daddy and I am a grown woman...F@#* you for judging me.) There are so many things I would love to share with you. I love you.
                 
                     Ten years ago today I married my new best friend. Yes your math is right. I got married two weeks after my father died. My dad always knew what was best for me and he made me promise the wedding would still happen. I can still hear my mother saying, "You promised your father." I didn't know at the time that my husband would turn into my best friend. I didn't think I needed one, because I always had my daddy. Well here I sit ten years later thankful that he came in to my life when he did.
           
                      If you know my husband(which you don't) you would know that he is not good at expressing feelings and he is never mushy. I can never remember him giving me a card for any occasion. He has always said that they are too expensive and he doesn't want to waste the money on them when he can put the money towards a gift. I have always been okay with that and after about five years I stopped buying cards too. (okay so maybe it took me awhile to adjust)As you all know we are poor right now due to me being out of work. Can you imagine my surprise when I sent to the bathroom at 4 a.m. this morning and there sat a rose bush and.... you guessed it! A card. You say, "So f#@$*&^ what?" and I say, "Go to hell." But we don't do cards! Let me tell you something, this was the sweetest gesture he could have made. The card was not real mushy, but it made the statement that he has such a hard time expressing himself. He told me he ADORED me. That's right, read em' and weep. Are you jealous? You should be. So many men love their wives, but how many ADORE them. Oh yes, I'm lucky. I know what you are thinking...How can anyone adore you? Well let me just say that I am adorable (oops I just made a funny) Yes not so little me is actually on the receiving end of adoration. Can life get any better than this? (well yes if I was working, but let's not ruin the moment).

I Love You Baby!!!!

Grammy

So my mother, sister, and brother came for a visit. That was uneventful and fun, no one got hurt :)

My youngest son loves to play games so he talked them into playing Buzz Mega Quiz:

This game Rocks! Especially if you want to show your kids that you ARE smarter than them.

My mother, two sons, and sister (who is not too smart) all decided to play. My mother of course knew most of the answers, but is not quick enough so she was struggling a bit until this question came up:

The award given to a musical artist for selling a lot of records.

Then it gave them four choices to pick from and my mother is the ONLY one that got it right!

GRAMMY

My youngest son looked at her and said:

"Well of course you got it right, because you ARE a Grammy!"

Should I Stay or Should I Go?

Well thank you to a few of my awesome blogger friends for such great advice. Jannie Funster over at http://www.janniefunster.com/ and Michelle over at http://grownupgirlie.blogspot.com/ gave me a few websites that I could check out and Queenie Jeannie http://happy-jeannie.blogspot.com/ suggested I start an Etsy shop which I just might do if I can figure out how to make anything. If any of you have any other ideas that would be awesome. Prostitution is not an option...I already thought about that.

My next thought is: Should I start a separate blog that has more of a focus? What are some good blog topics? Should I get rid of this blog? I could keep both or just turn this blog into something besides my rantings about my pathetic life. What do you all think? (WOW! I almost sounded southern there for a minute)

$$$ Money $$$

As most of you know I lost my job earlier this year. This leaves me homebound and hating life. I AM NOT A HOUSEWIFE!!!! I am currently looking for a job, but the job market isn't all rainbows and sunshine right now.I started this blog out of boredom and for the fun of it. I really enjoy doing it, but I need to figure out how to turn some of this fun into income. So I need your help. I need to find a way to make some money working from home.  What I need from you is your ideas. Now I want some legitimate ideas, not those get rich quick scams. I do not mind working at something if it is worth it and going to be profitable. My main goal is to be able to make $1000 a month, so I can at least pay the mortgage on our house. So any of you awesomely talented people out there that can throw me an idea or two would be greatly appreciated.
