Children’s Party Invitations

To those parents who -for whatever reason - allow their child to write their own party invites.

Maybe you think it’s a cute means of personalization, or perhaps it’s your own misguided attempt to teach responsibility - who knows what the fuck you were thinking… Next time please consider the following-

  1. I can barely read my own 4 yr olds penmanship - what in God’s name makes you think I could decipher your 4 yr olds handwriting?!
  2. Proofread - Proofread - Proofread!!! Why - you might ask? (aside from the head smacking obvious….)

How bout so we can avoid breaking the heart of a little girl who was so excited about attending her fist costume party, she talked of nothing else for a week. Who, on the day of the party, proudly dawned her witches costume, pointy hat in place, and jumping up and down to hurry hurry hurry - only to find the date on her invitation was incorrect. “The party was last Saturday, we’re sorry for the mistake.”

well gee - that makes it all better.

Actually no it doesn’t. Stick your apology where the sun don’t shine - and next time - proofread the invitations or hey - use your many years of writing experience to write the invitations for your child!

asshole

a great response

I’ve been seeing a new man for a couple weeks. He’s driven 3 hours to see me, 3 weekends in a row.

(he plays guitar) - yesterday he asked if he could see Rick’s guitars. After looking at the guitars, I got out what’s left our pocket knife collection and we looked through it. While we did all that, we talked about general stuff - what I’m trying to say is we weren’t talking about Rick. Out of nowhere, he looked at me and in a very sincere voice said, “Your husband…he must have been a really cool person huh?”

what a great thing for him to say… especially considering it was only the night before that I told him the short version of how Rick died.

so yeh - impressed and touched me in a big way.

Haven’t said much about him - here or in the real world. I’ll talk more about him and us sometime soon- treading lightly right now because I don’t wanna jinx anything. Yes, I’m very superstitious that way. lol

Boo!

Anyone going to haunted houses this weekend?

Out of the blue today, Hannah told me she dreams about you.
We miss you so much.
Always,
Cat

Punk’d - by my own kid

and she did it while I was on the phone with sexy man last night. He’s as much of a smart ass as I am (damn I love a man that can hang - heh) anyway……

Hannah comes in and starts a rant that I got her the wrong Halloween costume - she wanted to be a pink poodle (no idea where she came up with that one) not a witch. Because she had mentioned the poodle thing and the witch thing, I started to apologize and tell her we could take it back, no biggie. Keep in mind she’s seriously close to tears. I no more got the apology out of my mouth when she said, “Just kidding Mommy!” and burst out laughing.

what?!

Most 4 yr olds are barely starting to tell knock-knock jokes they don’t get the punch lines to.

My kid, with much forethought - set me up, with crocodile tears no less - and PUNK’D me out - big time.

Least she comes by it honest right? lol

Sexy man laughed his ass off - I told him just wait til she nails him. and she will. lol

butterflies

aren’t they awesome?!

…the ones you feel all the way to your toes

- and so does he.

mmmmmmmm……..

(apparently blonds do have more fun. at least this one is. -heh)

Damages Caused by Drug Testing in Schools

Henrietta schools halt drug testing because of 3 cases of false positive test results

On a Friday, school tells parents of 3 students “your child failed their drug test”.

School calls parents on Monday saying, “oops - never mind. There was a mistake at the drug testing lab.”

The Principle’s apology can’t fix what undoubtedly ensued between these parents and their children over the weekend.

I will never allow my daughter to attend a school that requires drug testing.

Schools have no business policing our children outside school grounds.

Discontent

I’m restless and unsettled.

Now wishing I’d pursued charges against the guy who beat me up. Hate that he’ll continue hurting women. Not that pressing charges would stop him - men like him rarely stop. Sometimes it’s very, very hard NOT to revert to the me that would launch annihilation mission. This is one of those times.

A long time ago I said I needed to put the pursuit papers in some kind of order. I never did. This week I’ve been gathering paperwork for a small legal action and can’t find pages 3, 5, and 6 of one of the first Attorney General opinions. Finding them or not won’t have any effect on current happenings - it just frustrates me that I can’t find them.

Aside from searching for those papers, I spent about 2 hours today, looking for my web cam. This just pisses me off because I SAW it YESTERDAY - which means it has to be close to the surface of wherever it is. So why can’t I find the damn thing?!

I decided to put Hannah’s swing set together today. When I opened the box, I found the instructions had a huge hole all the way through the middle of the book. Stupid mice. And to top it off - “this number is no longer in service” when I called the manufacturer to request another copy. Did I mention there are like 500 pieces and screws and bolts and nuts and things I’ve never seen before inside that box? gotta love it.

I have to go to a family reunion tomorrow. (distant relations) I don’t want to. I’m anti-social. I don’t like to be anywhere that large groups of people congregate. Small groups either for that matter.

I took Hannah to see the circus passing through town yesterday. It was a very small troupe and some of he acts were kind of cheesy. We still had a lot of fun. I’m glad because I was dreading it. The last circus that was here didn’t take proper care of their animals (tigers). Sickened me. Yesterday’s tigers were fat and playful. Secure in their environment too because they were sleeping belly up. Animals, especially wild animals, never expose their tummy unless they feel completely safe.

The 25th is approaching. 4 years. Seems like 100.
Kiss your wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend tonight and tell them you love them.

Sorry I didn’t get pics of the new me posted today. I didn’t even get my make-up on today. Have to do the whole beauty routine in the morning because of the family reunion - I’ll ask my mom to take a couple pics and post them tomorrow - promise.

Cooling Off

Bullets solution to keeping cool.

He stands in the water tank and splashes the water with his front legs. See how the water’s rocking and rolling in there… lol
