I'm A HORRIBLE Person

Ima horrible person in more ways than one.... This past Christmas I participated in the SSS...I was late shipping my gift and I never blogged about the loverly and wonderful goodies I received! I'm a horrible SSS participant! My camera is broke & I must be last person on the planet who doesn't own a smartphone or even an ipod, so I couldn't take pix that way either! My SSS partner took great care in picking out the gifts she sent me...my favorite B&B works scent,a RAZOR(i'm easy to please),decadent chocolate covered pretzels a beautiful scarf/wrap. Thank You Chris!

********************
My sweet Abby is getting married this summer THEN moving to San Diego Ca! I can not fathom driving her and her new HUSBAND(did i just type that?) to SD and then turning around and leaving her!!!!!

He 'Joe' is in the US Navy & stationed at the Naval Base there and as customary when one weds another you move in together-start a life together.... justNOThalfwayacrossthecountry see imahorribleperson!

I REALLY want to NOT like this young man...but I can't-he is everything a mom could hope for her daughter. AND his family, oh the horrors!!! They set the example for this fine young man and well as much as I didn't wanna like them either...it's impossible-they are GREAT!

So this summer is gonna be a busy one for this OCD over-planner-who-cant-plan-a-freakin-thing-cuz! I meant that nicely...it's just you never know when your future SIL is gonna get leave and these youngins are, so, well, YOUNG...how will they make it on their own! Roots and Wings!

*******************

Yesterday I had to pick Jess up from her friends house & I let my lil doggers ginger ride with me....when we returned home I may or may not have forgot she rode with me and left her in the car for an hour or so...see imahorribleperson...in my defense she left the comfort of my lap and climbed to the third row to scavenge for food particles

Reese had a fever blister on his lip and I may OR may not have said put-a-band-aid-onit-cuz-I-aint-spendin-$18-on-abreva... imsonicelikethat!

My Confession for today: I MISS my Mom!

I could talk about the fact Eric loves levi jeans... but levi jeans dont love him

I could talk about the fact that my son Reese is a handsome yougin & I wonder why he doesn't have a gf.....

But the truth is...I can't find find the funny in anything lately... And believe me, there's a whole lotta funny going on at my house....but...me finding it...not so much!

My emails are insane....seriously...someone wants me to promote their 'tushy' book yep I know right...then I get an email tellin me my site is so good for moms and kids and being barefoot(i'm not linking them cuz...well just cuz).....

At this point I stop and ponder....go ahead you can too....because it gets better...

Trina-Joes mom is wonderful...she is & you would love her...you would love her for the mere fact she loves Abby like a daughter...

I need you to commiserate with mama...who the hell am I gonna bitch to? Who's gonna listen to me while I am trying to plan a wedding ...

About Abby and her choices...you know she is easily influenced...she doesn't give me any credit....

Secret Santa Lives!

As many of you know last year was my grand finale for the SSS. However Coloradolady has graciously taken over the Secret Santa Soiree. Since some of you that have participated in the past may not be a follower of this fan-tab-u-lous lady...I thought I'd take a moment and let you know...it's not to late to join the SSS Just click the links back there...and go sign up...it's a lot of fun!

My confession for today: I really miss blogging!

Dear Mom(10.5.11)

Dear mama... So much has happened since my last post. Reese hates yung-ins,tomatoes and lasagna...ok so that's still the same...

Mom, Abby just got back from Chicago...Joe graduated basic...I let her go for 5 days with Joe's fam onafrigginroadtrip! They made t-shirts(i felt left out),they shopped,they ate at fancy restaurants. Joe showed them around base...they have a bx. He bought her an iphone...they have their own plan mom...it's serious! He will be stationed in San Diego...I gotta become a Charger fan! They ring shopped! OMG! She loves him...they are so young...Gosh mom I wish you were here!

Mom...Jess is a beautiful mess...she just turned 14 and she got her tregus pierced...okay well I am sure I spelled it wrong but it's a lil flappy ear part! Mom you know Jess...she is so her own person.. it's fair time as in Tulsa State Fair and she has been going and going...she likes a boy...which is different than a boy likes her! Mama I miss you...

Oh dear where do I start with Reese...he is such a good boy mom...is it wrong of me to say he is better than the girls? Okay boys are just easier... Him & His posse are, all 8 of them, going on a road trip to a SOONERS game-they(the boys) invited Eric...I hope he goes with them...it will give me some piece of mind. Mama he is so cute...I know you know this and he has a date tomorrow for the fair to see Mike Posner...

As for me mom...I'm lost...I am working but being taken advantage of...I wish you were here so I could have a sounding board and you could tell me how to handle this situation! Of course I can hear you now sayin..."Gina..." Mama I got strep...srsly & really at 40 I got strep throat! It was awful mom...I thought I had the flu...which I might as well have had...I got a shot in the assa...it was wonderful ...the shot not the strep...

I don't talk to Becky & Laura very much...same ol same ol mom-I think they communicate so you would be happy that 2out of 3 are...I do chat with Barry at least once a week...kinda like when I would call you and you wouldnt be home yet and he would answer...he's havin a rough time of it...but we are trying to help him mama...he will be moving soon, him and all the doggies...mr foxy,lizzie and bandit...I know they miss you too! Although I am not quiet sure anyone could possibly miss you more than me...dogs included...

It's Oct...Halloween will be coming up-Jess wants to be a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader for Halloween*sigh*...Abby will be 18 in a lil over a month-Joe will be home on leave from the Navy and he will propose to her*double sigh*,Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before we know it!

Not quite sure what I will do without you for the holidays! Where has this year gone and why did you have to leave us? Nothing will ever be the same now that your gone mom...nothing...you were our glue...

My confession for today:I miss my mama...

Dear Mom(8.31.11)

Dear Mom, So much has happened over these past two months since you left us to fly with Angels
.
Reese got his drivers license! We had to drive him to muskogee and it took him 2 tries but he finally did it! He got a Birthday card from you, 17 one dollar bills in it...Barry is keeping the Birthday tradition going! Mom, Reese is almost 6'3! can you believe that? He is really growing up! He is a junior now and hefriggindrives...we bought him a dodge ram, he loves it!

School started on the 25th and Abby did her senior pictures...they will only cost us $2000 im so not kiddin mom...they are beautiful but I dont know how I am gonna pay for them. I guess I could make Eric take a second job...he wouldn't mind =) Her boyfriend Joe left for the Navy Aug 2nd...I think he is going to propose to her!!!! What am I gonna do? She has decided to move to Enid,go to beauty college and live with Joe's sister Patty when she graduates!!!! What am I gonna do?

Jess is Jess a free spirit who is at that very fun age of ihatemymomeverystinkinday....I know I was NEVER like that =) She is an 8th grader this year...how is it possible that these kids grew up so fast,like in the blink of an eye! She has a new style this year 'preppy-emo' is that possible? She is so beautiful mom and opinionated she reminds me a lot of you!

I talk to Barry at least once a week...so far your a/c has gone out and now your washing machine...Eric is going over on sat to help him move out the old washer and move in the maytag we gave you...remember when Barry griped about us bringing it to you...bet he is glad he has it now! We are looking out for Barry but I do worry about him...we will do our best to make sure he is takin care of!

I talked to Angela a few weeks ago...it looks like you may be getting some company...Roy has inoperable brain cancer. it's so sad...I told her we were praying for them both...

Can you believe I haven't had a computer for over 2 months? I had to sneak Jess's laptop thatiboughther just to type this!

Mama...I miss you so much...I can't tell you how many times I have picked up the phone to call you...stuff about the kids,gripes about Eric and needing advice about work...I still can not believe you are gone...it is unreal to me!

Can you give daddy a hug for me...

I will write you again soon...these teenagers provide endless blog fodder but for right now I can no longer type through the tears... I Love You mom! My confession for today:Grief sucks!
