I remember looking at the class pictures of my mom when she was in elementary school... All of those kids in their finest clothes for picture day and... Some of them didn't have shoes! My mom had shoes, but many people couldn't afford them, so they went without. Now, I never remember not having any shoes, but I once wore my sisters shoes that looked just like mine... And when I came in from school that afternoon my mom took one look at my feet and died laughing... I had worn them on the wrong feet all day long. Well, they were too big, I didn't notice.
Now, my daughter Cassidy.... Let's just say, I don't think she will ever have to worry about having too many shoes. She is always loosing them, tearing them up by dragging her toes while she is riding her bike, or leaving them where the dog can chew on them. Twice last year, I was late for work because I had to take her to buy her a new pair of shoes because she could not find any to wear to school or the dog had gotten a hold of them. Soooo... Last week, she went to church camp with two pair of shoes. On the last day of camp she called to say she had lost both pair. Well, when she went to lost and found... Her shoes were not there but there was a green pair of flip flops that fit, and that's what she came home wearing. Today, her aunt invited her to go to another town to see the fireworks and.... SHE DON'T HAVE ANY SHOES.... She had shoes yesterday!! She had shoes when she left this morning!! And there are two shoes out on the front yard that I recognize... But they don't match.... WTF????.... Anyway... last I saw of her, she was getting in the car, with no shoes!!!!!Wonder how long it will take them to notice she ain't wearing any? Hehehe... I know... One day she will probably remember things differently and tell her kids she was so poor when she was growing up... SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY SHOES!!!!!!!
I am about to pop a freaking vein!!!!!! My kid is having her Birthday party.... A slumber party... Four girls... Thank God it's Fourth of July weekend and others couldn't spend the night! So.... I have took pic's of her party... and came in here to upload them and walk back into the kitchen and.... IT IS A MESS!!!!!! The $27.oo cake I bought... demolished... on the floor... noodles on the floor..The floor that I swept and mopped then waxed today..... furniture moved around...And that ain't even going to say what they did to my makeup.... OMG ...do I ever want to wring their little necks... NO, I didn't take a pic... But I threw one heck of a fit... They are in there now with the broom and mop and I said it better be clean when I get back in there.... I can be mean when I need to be!! Now what the hell did I get on here for??? Oh, yeah... was going to show a few birthday pic's while the kids are still breathing!!!!! 
Kids scattered when I brought the camera out to take pic's of her opening her presents... but the dog loved getting in all the action... Hell, he is the only one I haven't had to holler at tonight. Now, I know why dog is mans best friend..... Ohhh, and I Just checked on the kids... they are on their hands and knees cleaning up that mess.... Hehehe... Got my bluff in on em!!Tonight I have broken up one fight, two arguments and chewed their butts out big time over that mess... and it ain't even eleven o clock, not to mention my living room is a mess.... Man oh man...... If ya'll don't hear from me.... Raise money for my bail.... They probably deserved it!!!!! 
Last winter our guinia pig spot died..... I don't remember if it was during the ice storm or too dark or what the reason was... but......We were not able to bury him at the time......So, we wrapped him in a little dishcloth and then in plastic wrap and tucked him away in the deep freezer out on the back porch.....Now it is August and...Spot is still in the deep freezer....lol... Heck, I forget... I'm getting old, I'm busy... "Out of sight out of mind"......Hehehe.........But...He sure was a lot of fun while he was living.... What am I to say??? Every now and then my daughter and I go out on the porch and look in the deep freeze to see what I have tucked in there to eat....And, she see's this little package and hollers... "Mom, is that spot?".....Maybe they will find a cure for what he had before I get around to burying him and we can get him back to life..... I do hope by this time next year... I ain't telling Ya'll he's still out there in the freezer!!! But don't bet on it!!
I remember watching my older sister get on the school bus and wishing I could go with her. I thought getting all those new clothes and school supplies and getting too ride the big yellow bus and play on the huge playground would be so cool. Well, three years later, I got my wish... WooHoo, I was going to school!!! My sister walked me to my room the first day and I happily trotted my butt in the classroom. We really didn't do a lot the first day, got our books, the teacher talked to us about rules and gave us a lot of papers to take home for our parents to fill out. However, we did get to play on the big playground and ate lunch in the cafeteria. Yeah, I'm thinking... I''m going to like this school stuff......
Then on day two, we started working and following all those rules we couldn't remember. We had to be quiet and listen and could only play during recess..... 
..........So by the third day I had done figured out I didn''t like school and I wanted no part of it!!!..... we ride the bus to school... My sister walked me to my room.... But.....I WAS NOT GOING TO GO IN THERE...NO WAY, NO HOW....
While my sister was trying to get me to go in the classroom, my teacher finished the roll call....Then she stuck her head out the door and there we were.... We had a few words and when I said "I ain''t going in", she snatched me up by the arm and in the room I went.... Kicking and screaming and throwing my backpack to the floor...I didn't like it... BUT.... I went....And she wore my butt out with her nice little paddle. That was the first of many paddling's I got that year. However, that was the only one I got for refusing to go into the classroom!You know, that woman is still living today, and I might add from what I have heard.... She's still just as mean as she ever was!!!!

This is the second week of school... and I can already see trouble ahead .....I got my daughter up early... as usual... Well, for school usual... and what does she do? Sit and watch the cartoon channel... feed the animals...and say she can't find her hair brush... Well.... NO... you ain't going to find your hair brush sitting on your butt watching cartoons......and then she couldn't find the shirt she wanted.... AGAIN... Nope, not while sitting on your butt....
So the bus normally runs at 7:05 every morning... and at 7:10 she was putting the finishing touches on her hair ..... and then out the door she goes...."I already know it".... SHE HAS MISSED THE BUS... but.. she don't... dumb ass.... I look out the door and there she stands... looking up and down the highway... waiting for the bus.....OMG...If I didn't have to hurry I'd get a pic of her with my camera..... well, at least I got a laugh outta all the hollering I did earlier... anyways ... I step it up a notch getting ready for work... because I know... I'm going to have to take her to school, THE BUS HAS RAN... and it ain't coming back.... So at 7:20 I hear the door... she comes in and ask what time it is... I say... "it's twenty minutes after seven".... Does it dawn on her that if the bus runs at 7:05 and it's 7:20...MAYBE... you missed the bus? Nope... She went down to the corner again.... lol... Well, I was hot earlier but.... I'm laughing now...though, she can't hear me.... I know I have to take her to school ... but... she ain't sitting on the couch watching cartoons till it's time to go...She's sweating it, wondering if she missed the bus and how she's going to tell me... lol
At 7:30 she comes home... I'm in the kitchen... getting my work bags and grabbing my keys.... putting the animals out of the house... and then I ask her.... "Why ain't you down there waiting for the bus?"...... "Momma, I missed the bus"......"Well then, how are you getting to school?".............."Momma!"......Yeah, yeah, yeah... I guess you need a ride, huh? So I took her to school... and then that made me get to work early... Then everyone at work wondered what was wrong... because.... I never get to work on time....Unless someone misses the bus...............
Yesterday started out pretty good, I made it to the office on time. As we were all heading out of the office for the day we all put our books in our cars and grabbed a cigarette (Yeah, I know.. I'm supposed to be quitting) and everyone had a smoke. I had opened the passenger side door like I always do... put my things in the seat, plus my cell phone and my keys and shut the door.... When everyone started getting in their cars, I walked over to mine and the doors were locked... I searched my pockets.... No keys... WTF? So peering into my window... I see them.... laying right there by my phone... How the heck did that happen... You ain't supposed to be able to lock all the doors by pushing the passenger door lock and I sure couldn't click the button on my key if it was laying in the car seat... Well, one of the girls I work with took me to my little sisters house to get my spare house key, then we went to my house to get my spare car key.... I tore the house up... Couldn't find that key anywhere... So, we go back to the office and call the police.... In three minutes he was there and another 15 seconds my door was unlocked... Wonder why my alarm didn't go off? He said the first one was free and I didn't bother to tell him it wasn't the first time.
Whew, So now I am starting work late after messing with my car.... I am checking my phone an notice I have a missed call from my older sister who lives beside me.... I call her back... I thought she had been listening to her scanner and heard the addy of where I work and the description of my car....so when she answers her phone I just say, "Yeah, it was me"... She said, "In the silver car?" .... "What?'... "there was a silver car at your house".... "Oh, yeah that was me, I locked my keys in the car at work"..
Well, it seems her husband looked out the door and saw someone run into my house... and there was a lady in a silver car on the phone with her motor running... So, my brother in law is getting his shoes... He is going to get in his car and drive a around the block and get the tag number, while my big sis is trying to get some clothes on because she is going to go ask that woman what they are doing at my house.... lol.... Then my brother in law comes in and says ... "Never mind, some kid ran out of the house and jumped in the car and they took off!".... Hehehehe.... I am glad nobody was burglarizing my house and my neighbors had to give an eyewitness account of what they saw!If I didn't know better I'd think she was kin to Barney Fife.....

Why do restaurants put onions on the kids burgers? Did they do a survey and find out little kids like onions? I don't think so, I know my daughter won't eat anything if she knows there are onions in it. However, I have found that sometimes if I dice them up real small, she doesn't notice. Now, my daughter loves my potato soup and has been eating it for years. Then one day last year she came into the kitchen as I was throwing the onions into a pot of potato soup I was cooking and she wasn't happy. Then I explained to her, I always put onions in the potato soup, it doesn't taste right if you don't. So, she was happy and ate her soup.
Well last week she decided she wanted potato soup and would not take no for an answer, so I made her potato soup... minus the chopped up ham and onions... She was in the living room eating her soup and watching TV when she hollered, "You forgot to put ham in here".... To which I replied, "I didn't have any ham to put in there"... A few minutes later, she hollered, "Momma, you didn't put any onions in here"... To which I replied, "I didn't have any onions". Then she got mad and said it didn't taste right... lol
Well, last night she wanted me to make her a pot of vegetable beef soup for supper. She walked in just as I was throwing the onions into the pot and she wasn't happy..... Then I explained to her, "I always put onions in vegetable beef soup, it doesn't taste right if you don't". Wait till she finds out there are onions in the meat loaf and chili she has been eating all these years too!
