What A Crazy Night!
Well it was a very crazy night here at the Clickarosa...
About 6:30 Pm there was a fatality car crash right at the end of our driveway here on Calvary Rd. My husband and our neighbor were the first on the scene. There are pictures below. Apparently what happened was that the guy driving the mashed up car you see below went into the ditch and overcompensated coming out and hit a small gray car and spun into the white truck which broke his car in half. He was dead at the scene..apparently from partial decapitation. The other passengers in the white truck and the gray car were not seriously injured and were taken to local hospitals to be checked out. The guy in the mashed up sentra was taken to the morgue. It is now 10:00 and the wreckers just left with the last of the debris from the road. I am going to put the kids to bed and head there myself..it has been a long day. I will post again bright and early in the manyana.....
Nitey Nite!

Random Thoughts
Song Playing: Heaven Beside You- Alice In Chains I was thinking about all of the great bands that I used to really jam to that are no longer around...Faith No More, Alice In Chains, The Cult...well there are too many to list here but I will go on with my thought...So I went into my iTunes library and pulled some of them up and made a really rockin playlist for my iPod so that is what I am jamming to today...It is amazing how much music can affect your mood. I know when I am down I can make my self feel better with a happy song or I can make myself stay down with a down song...I am sure all people are that way.. I sat down some months ago and made a list of the songs that I would include if there were a soundtrack to my life...I will look for it and post it here...

Boredom Again....
I was sitting here watching the George Lopez Comedy Central Special Why You Cryin' that I TIVO'd last night. That is one funny mexican. I remember a time when I wanted to be a stand up comedian and then I realized that I didn't know any jokes. Somewhat of a problem if you want to be a comedian. Anyways, I decided to get on the net again and see if I could go to google and type in Boredom and see what came up... so then I went to: GotBoredom.com There were lots of links there that I surfed to kill the boredom and it still didn't work. Oh well guess I am destined to be bored...guess I will go back to watching George Lopez unless Marcus emails me back and we can chat..LOL

There And Back Again...Sick Of The Effing Rain!!
I am back from seeing mr. Curtis. We had a nice visit...mostly talked about my dad's D-Day anniv. yesterday and how I was "feeling" about that...I also handed him a list of the appointments I will need to cancel over the next two months due to clinic appointments for Christian at the hospital downtown. So that means that I will not have my Rant session again until Feb 21. Guess I will have to do all of my ranting here until then..LOL.
I am so sick of this rain, and cold, it actually looks like winter outside right now. I hate winter. For some reason I always get fat in the winter but I lose weight in the summer...see if it was summer year round I would stay skinny. Not sure why that is but in the summer I have more energy and feel more motivated to exercise and eat healthy...
In the winter I want to curl up in sweats and eat. I guess it has something to do with storing up fat for the winter or something.
Anyways...I have to go and make lunch for Christian and get him ready to go to school. I will probably write more after that since I have nothing else to do.

Today's Song Of The Day...
"Follow" - Breaking Benjamin
I'm losing sight
Don't count on me
I chase the sun
It chases me
You know my name
You know my face
You'd know my heart
If you knew my place
I'll walk straight down
As far as I can go!
I'll follow you if you follow me
I don't know why you lie so clean
I'll break right through the irony
Enlighten me
Reveal my faith
Just cut these strings
That hold me safe
You know my heart
You know my face
You'd know my heart
If you knew your place
I'll walk straight down
As far as I can go
I'll follow you if you follow me
I don't know why you lie so clean
I'll break right through the irony
Cure this wait
I hate this wait
I'll follow you if you follow me
I don't know why you lie so clean
I'll break right through the irony

Happy Freakin Monday Morning To You Too!
I HATE Mondays...there is no other way to say that other than I absolutely LOATHE Mondays. I woke up more than an hour late today and now I have to rush around like the proverbial chicken with it's head cut off to get them dressed, fed, and to school on time. Mondays are also Counseling days at the United Way Family Service Center. That is the only part of Monday that I enjoy. From 10-11am I get to go in a room with "Curtis" who is my wonderful Counselor and vent, and bitch, and whine, for free for an hour. It is sublime. For that one hour a week I have someone's undivided attention just for me with no kids in the background screaming or cell phones or TV...Just me and Curtis. And usually by the time I get out of there I actually feel like I can make it through until the next monday again.
So here is a short synopsis of what is going on this week for me..
Monday- Counseling with Curtis at 10am.
Tuesday- Taking Aaron to the doctor for a disability determination appointment at 1:30pm in Conroe. God I hope we do ok for this one cause we cannot afford to lose his SSI check.
Wednesday- This is not only Groundhog Day it is my big brother Pat's birthday..I am going to try to call him but I do not think he is speaking to me so I doubt I will get to talk to him to wish him a happy birthday..(The not speaking to me part is a long story that I may put in a short post about sometime)
Thursday- Weight Watchers Weigh In at 6:30am and then spending the rest of the day with Mom hopefully if Bart can handle Christian and take him to school like I need him to..Otherwise I will be going to WW and coming home and being bored the rest of the day.
Friday- Nothing on the calendar yet but anything could pop up between now and then.
So that is my week in a nutshell so far...Wish me luck...I will be back on later on after I get the kids to school and get more coffee down my gullet....

Ok This Is The Story...
Ok this is what happened yesterday with Randi. Randi has been one of my best friends for like 7 years. Ok so she met a guy named Chris (who will from here on out be named PIECE OF SHIT or POS) about 7 months ago at school in welding class and within a month she married him. Not what I would have done but she promised me that she was sure it was what she wanted and that they "just knew" that they were meant to be together forever..(famous last words)
So anyways Randi and POS have been married for 5 months...she found out about a month or two ago that she was pregnant..not the best of news but not horrible either. Everybody thought everything was groovy. She even went last week and had her first ultrasound and the Dr. thinks it is a girl!! Hooray since I have 3 boys and am desperate to buy something pink for a change..
Anyways long story short I get a weird phone call from Randi(who does not sound like herself when she calls) where she says that she needs to bring a vehicle to my house and then have me take her home later and she will explain everything when she gets here... To which I say "Ok"
So she shows up and as soon as I see her I know something terrible has happened and she starts sobbing that POS has been cheating on her the whole time that they have been married with some whore named nicole and now he has left her pregnant and alone. My blood started to boil and I started to tear up at the same time..My heart truly broke for her. So we sat on the porch for a couple of hours smoking cigs and talking shit about POS. She had letters that she had found in the truck from Whore to POS and even a nasty pair of panties that looked like they had been cut off of whoever was wearing them with a knife..(EWW)
Now the reason that the truck had to stay here after she left was because it is POS's truck. (only technically) The truth of the matter is that Randi's mom paid for the truck with her own money as a favor to POS and Randi so they would have two vehicles. POS to date has not paid back any of said money to MIL. When he left they had to go all the way to Pasadena to pick up the truck. So to keep him from knowing where it is it is here at my house.
So when I left to take her home we stopped at the local mexican food restaurant and pigged out and then I took her home and we talked some more and then I came home.
Basically POS is gone forever and now poor Randi is 5 months pregnant and going to end up having this baby alone and being a single mom. Bummer huh?

Is This Weekend Over Yet?
We went out for dinner tonight to Ryan's with the kids...(always a disaster that we regret afterwards..) Before that we went to Lowes to get door hardware for the new screen door that Bart and his Dad put on the house today.
I am so ready for this weekend to be over...between my sickness this morning and the weird strange day I had yesterday with Randi..(my other best friend) (Long Story I Will Post Later) it has been the weekend from hell...Oh and let's not forget the PMS. It is time for me to start getting things ready for the kids to go to school tomorrow(YAY!!) and fix the coffee pot and stuff before I go to bed. I am definitely showering too since I feel so YUCK..Maybe that will help me sleep better.
Anyways I am going to go and do my before bed routine....if you want more information about that check out http://www.flylady.com the woman that runs the place is amazing and although I have not perfected her system yet I have had a lot of fun reading her book SINK REFLECTIONS and trying out the routines to keep me organized and sane..especially the Before Bed Routine..that one saves my hiney every time. After my before bed routine I am going to come back and post what happened yesterday with my best girlfriend Randi.
Cya Then..Cat

Feeling Much Better Now
Ok so now that the puking has stopped I am a bottomless pit...what's up with that?? It stopped like someone had flipped a switch..I went from "insert puke noise here" to "Gee that cow out there looks good enough to eat". Go figure....
So now I can tell you why I was so sick....
Shawn and Rebecca Came over last night to visit with their kids. We had a good time sitting on the porch drinking beverages and hanging out...I had one very very strong rum and coke and about 3 shots of rum. That's it...and I was soooo sick today. I think I figured out why though. I only ate once yesterday and it was several hours before I had anything to drink last night. So I drank too much on an empty stomach and woke up starving and ate 4 sunny side up eggs smothered in tabasco (green and red) and salt and pepper and two slices of toast and 4 dr. peppers(cause you know how thirsty you are the next day after drinking..)
Well needless to say that did not sit well on my stomach...usually for me that is awesome hangover food but for some reason this time it was not working out...So that was when the illness started and lasted until about 2pm.
Now that I am not ill anymore I have since been able to consume:
- a can of beef and portabella mushroom with rice soup.
- two slices of toast
- a large bowl of cereal with milk (lucky charms)
- another bowl of beefaroni with the kids...
- 2 glasses of milk
- 1 glass of applejuice
- about 3 pepsis (ran out of Dr.Pepper)
- half a stalk of ritz crackers...
So needless to say I am not hungry or thirsty now just ready for a nap. Which is where I think I will go now... Oh By The Way....The season finale of HUFF is coming on tonight!! I love that show!! It comes on on Showtime at 9pm central...So now you know where I will be!!

Sick..
Well apparently today I am going to spend a lot of quality time with my toilet...I swear I only had two drinks last night...and I am sick as a dog today..can't keep even dr.pepper down. And on top of it all I am starving to death but every time I eat it comes right back up...damn it. If it werent for this I would actually feel pretty good today physically. Except for being tired. Oh well guess I am meant to spend the day puking and crying...joy joy.

Todays Second Song Of The Day..
Velvet Revolver
Fall to pieces
It's been a long yearSince you've been gone
I've been alone here
I've grown old
I fall to pieces, I'm falling
Fell to pieces and I'm still falling
Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces
I keep a journal of memories
I'm feeling lonely, I can't breathe
I fall to pieces, I'm falling
Fell to pieces and I'm still falling
All the years I've tried
With more to go
Will the memories die
I'm waiting
Will I find you
Can I find you
We're falling down
I'm falling

What's Playing In My Ear Today
Today's song of the day is One Last Breath by Creed...Lyrics Below..
Creed One Last Breath
Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's somthing left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

Why Today Is Not A Good Day..
Today is not going to be a good day...Today is the 5 month anniv. of my Father's Death. Some people think I should be over this by now...I will never be over it. Some days are better than others but most days I still feel incredible pain over this loss. Of course my husband says that is because his photos are plastered everywhere in our house. I think I am afraid I will forget what his face looks like..and his voice sounds like. I have a video tape in my camera that has a clip from several years ago that is only about 10 seconds long of me showing him how the camera works.. I watch this clip from time to time just to hear his voice..just so I won't forget what that sounds like..That is all I have left is the photos and that one video clip..Damn that sucks..Maybe I need to go back to bed..You guys may not hear from me anymore today..I think I need to go away for the day..

Today Is Not A Good Day
I woke up too late....Aaron was already climbing into the kitchen cabinets for his own version of breakfast..quite possibly oreos and applesauce if I had not gotten there in time. But I did...So I made eggs and bacon..with a terrible hangover..the smell of the bacon almost killed me..Already today I want to go and crawl under a rock..I will post more later as to why after I have had 12 more Dr. Peppers..

Song Of The Day..
Today's song of the day is..... DANKO / MANUEL-THE DRIVE BY TRUCKERS Let the night air cool you off.
Tilt your head back and try to cough.
Don't say nothing 'bout the things you never saw.
Let the night air cool you off.
I ain't living like I should.
A little rest might do me good.
Got to sinking in the place where I once stood.
Now I ain't living like I should.
Can you hear that singing? Sounds like gold.
Maybe I can only hear it in my head.
Fifteen years ago we owned that road
now it's rolling over us instead.
Richard Manuel is dead.
God forbid you call their bluff.
Like the nightmares ain't enough.
Remember when we used to think that we were tough?
God forbid you call their bluff.
First they make you out to be
the only pirate on the sea.
Then they say Danko would have sounded just like me.
"Is that the man you want to be?"
Can you hear that song? It sounds like gold.
Maybe I could make it bigger overseas.
Fifteen years ago we owned this road
now it only gives us somewhere else to leave.
Something else you can't believe.
Can you hear that singing? Sounds like gold.
Maybe I can hear poor Richard from the grave
singin' where to reap and when to sow
when you've found another home you have to leave.
Something else you can't believe.

Early Morning Ramble..
Well it is morning...I am awake after much grumblings of the tummy...damn dieting...I think that dieting is the worst at night when you are up trying to watch a lame movie with your husband and trying to stay awake through it...For some ungodly reason we decided that we thought that Garden State would be a good movie..guess because it has that guy from Scrubs on it...Anyways we have tried two nights in a row to watch it and both of us fell asleep before even the middle of the movie...now this is not because we were tired I don't think..I really think that the movie just sucked that bad..too bad I paid money for it and we own it..Can you say eBay?? Anyways back to the dieting thing....where was I???.....Oh yeah..dieting sucks..
We had a friend up last night for a visit..A girl that Bart went to high school with..It was good to see her..I haven't seen her since her kid's birthday in September...We went to Dallas to stay for her kids birthday party and had a good time...He is getting so big(her kid) he is I think about 17mos old now..cute as a bug...Funny how some people see babies and instantly want one or want another one...Exactly the opposite is true for me..wonder if I am broken or something..maybe just smart...I hear people all the time with kids under 2 who say oh yeah we want to have another one soon...and I am thinking..."have you lost your mind?? You are about to be done with diapers in another year and off to preschool in another two years and you want to start over?? What is wrong with you???" I want to honestly shake some of these people and say.."wake up and smell the desitin and realize that one is plenty.." I have too many friends that say that coming to my house is the best form of birth control for them..Why?? Because I have 3 little boys...Austin is 7 and the twins Aaron and Christian are 5. Picture a house with three very active little boys terrorizing it 24 hours a day and that is my house...If you are thinking of having a baby come on over and spend a couple of hours with the kids so I can go to the store and I promise you will change your mind forever..may even go and get sterilized after you leave to be sure that that doesn't happen to you..LOL
Anyways...I guess I am just cranky from lack of coffee...So off I go to make some Tim Hortons and check out the http://www.ipodlounge.com site to see what new gadgets are available for my Ipod...This is a morning routine for me..Get up, have coffee, check bank account, check Ipodlounge, and read some other blogs on the web..then get the kids up and make breakfast and crap..sounds fun huh? Don't you wish you were me?? Anyways have a great day...I have a lot to do today so I may not post much but If I get bored trust that I will come back and ramble some more..LOL

Some Crazy News I Found On The Net That Made Me Laugh Really Loud...
"OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) -- An Oklahoma senator hopes to revive cockfighting in the state by putting tiny boxing gloves on the roosters instead of razors.
The Oklahoma legislature outlawed the blood sport in 2002 because of its cruelty to the roosters, which are slashed and pecked to death while human spectators bet on the outcome.
But State Sen. Frank Shurden, a Democrat from Henryetta and a long-time defender of cockfighting, said the ban had wiped out a $100-million business.
To try to revive it, he has proposed that roosters wear little boxing gloves attached to their spurs, as well as lightweight, chicken-sized vests configured with electronic sensors to record hits and help keep score.
"It's like the fencing that you see on the Olympics, you know, where they have little balls on the ends of the swords and the fencers wear vests," said Shurden. "That's the same application that would be applied to the roosters."
Janet Halliburton, president of the Oklahoma Coalition Against Cockfighting, which led the drive for the 2002 law, said Shurden is really seeking to loosen the ban.
"What this is going to do is make a platform for him to continually try to amend the existing ban," Halliburton told The Oklahoman newspaper.
The State Senate will consider Shurden's proposal next month."
