Sending my youngest to Middle School was way harder than sending my oldest to Middle School!
Getting a tattoo on your spine for 2 hours will hurt like hell!
The lunch boxes that were on sale for school this year stunk! I went to two different stores and still couldn’t find anything good! Unless I wanted Hannah Montana or the Jonas Brothers, which my 10 and 12 year old boys did NOT want!
The 80’s / 90’s styles that are coming back are just scary!! What is wrong with the fashion industry? Who would think bringing back those fads would be a good idea? Ugh!
There is no way I will be able to watch the Season Premiere of Hoarders this weekend! In the commercial they show a house that is just infested with bugs, like maggots, and a opossum running around. Okay, EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

We still have one week of summer vacation. I think pretty much everyone else in America has started school, but not us. We’re still suffering loving these last days of summer vacation.
This morning when J-Man asked me for an ice cream come for breakfast I gave it to him. I think I’m beaten down from the heat and the constant I’m hungry, I want something, What can I have? all day long.
We did a little school shopping this weekend. Sissy knows what she likes and of course, what she doesn’t like. So far we’ve been able to agree, but it takes a while. Then I went over to the boys department with J-Man. I would hold up a shirt and ask “Do you like this one?” He’d shrug his shoulders and grunt some sort of response. Finally after doing this several times he looked at me and said “If you like it, I like it.” To which I responded “I love you!” I’ve been doing clothes shopping for 3 girls for years and it’s never easy.
Hey, don’t forget to join us for What The Hell Wednesday tomorrow. There has to be something in the last week that’s made you say What The Hell?!

Not sure if Stacy is stopping by for this RTT. Apparently she has a life on Monday nights and doesn’t have any Tuesday randomness. Whatev
We got home late Sunday night and I’m still recuperating. I have no idea how my husband got up and went to work on Monday morning. I have no idea because I was sound asleep and never heard a thing. I spent Monday doing laundry, unpacking, feeding children who are constantly hungry and are constantly asking “What can I have?” I feel like a waitress being asked what today’s specials are. It doesn’t matter how many times I tell them, they still ask an hour later. Really, again? Nothing new has magically appeared in our pantry or fridge in the last h0ur. The choices are same! But no, I have to list them all over again. Same thing is on the schedule for today.
A few random observations from our vacation
A lot of kids throw up at Walt Disney World. I swear we were seeing kids throwing up left and right. The worst was while we were at the Magic Kingdom. Some poor little girl barely made it out of the restaurant we were eating in. Then she was outside the door where we had a perfect view of everything. Glad we didn’t have to deal with any of that personally.
Disney has better quality soap and shampoo at the more expensive resorts.
According to my husband I took 1296 pictures while we were away. He did buy me a new camera to take lots of pictures. Anyone want to see them? I didn’t think so.
Even though we had a night at the Polynesian without our children it’s completely impossible to get away from any children at Walt Disney World. For some reason the place is just swarming with them. At least our room was kid free until the next morning when we went and got them.
At the beginning of the week I confess to golf cart envy. It seems like everyone at Fort Wilderness rented a golf cart to drive around. The place is absolutely huge and it was too far to walk to the pool, Trading Post, Settlement and Marina. But the bus transportation was quick and easy and it didn’t cost another $60+ per day. You have to figure that most days you’re only going to use it to drive to the main bus stop and then again from the bus stop back to your site. But they did look like they were fun to drive around in. We managed just fine without it.
It was great to see our Disney Daughter again and the kids were so excited. While we were away my husband had his birthday and we also celebrated our anniversary. She surprised us with tickets to the Luau at the Polynesian and a room for the night kid-free! It was so cool, fun, awesome and just the best. We have always wanted to stay there and see the show and it was just as great as we imagined. Thanks again DD!

The other night I got to use my Employee of the Month gift card to Bugaboo Creek. During dinner my almost 12 year old son looks around the restaurant, looks at me and says, “this is the fanciest resturaunt I’ve ever been to.” If you’ve never been to Bugaboo Creek, let me tell you, there are a lot of dead animal heads on the walls, some actually talk, and fake fish flap their tails like they’re dying. Yep F A N C Y! Maybe if you’re a redneck.
While at Bugaboo, it must have been some one’s birthday because out of the kitchen came about 6 Employees clapping and singing Happy Birthday. I glanced over at my youngest son who is almost 10, and he was just utterly appalled! The look on his face was priceless! Then he noticed they had a huge stuffed moose, and made the birthday person kiss the moose. He said, “does everyone who has a birthday have to kiss the moose?”. I said, “Yea I guess so, why?You don’t want to kiss the moose?” Him: “NO!! If everyone kisses that stuffed animal with their lips, just imagine all the gross mouth germs all over the moose!” He is a bit germ-a-phobic, but the kid does have a point, ewwww!
I just realized that I’m not really doing this post correctly, I mean I’m suppose to write random thoughts I have, like how I hate skinny jeans on men, and they just make them look stupid, not stories that have happened. Technically if I had used the stories from above I could of had a post or two. Oops….
Have you noticed that a lot of people on Facebook are bi-polar? Seriously, there could be a status update from someone that says, “I love life so much!” And then 10 minutes later the same person writes, “OMG I can’t stand people, they suck and so does my stupid life!!” This is why they get un-friended so much…just sayin’

I only have to work 4 hours tonight and then I’m done until after vacation! I can’t wait! I might be there physically, but in my mind I’m already on vacation. I’m guessing the frozen margaritas will have to wait another day. Work probably wouldn’t appreciate it but maybe if I brought enough for everyone it would be okay. Remember back in school there was that teacher who said “Unless you brought enough for everyone put it away.” I always wanted to be the kid who actually brought enough for everyone just to bug the teacher.
I’m getting better with my new phone. I’ve only made a few accidental calls today. I downloaded a flashlight app and passed J-Man my phone. He was all over it. I’m thinking I should’ve asked my 8 year old son how to use my new phone. Maybe the cell phone gene is the same as the video game gene.
I love this commercial. I don’t have any patience for drama and this is totally the type of therapist I’d be.

Lately I have no desire to make dinner. I don’t know if it’s the heat or what, but the last thing I want to do is that!. But since I can’t afford to order out every night and Personal Chefs cost too much, I guess I’m stuck doing it.
Last Friday I went out with my BFF. What I realized that night is that some women obviously don’t have anyone in their life to tell them NOT to wear something!! There were two girls in particular. One was wearing a super super short dress from like 1992, you know the one’s that had cut outs on the shoulders? She of course was dancing and spinning around. And every time she spun, we got to see too much, if you know what I mean. The other girl was wearing a low cut dress with no bra. There wasn’t much to the dress so she really couldn’t wear a bra, but the thing is she really, really needed one!! She was sagging all over the place! We kept waiting for something to fall out! Both of these girls needed a friend or a sister to say, “OMG! You’re not really going to wear that are you?? I mean you look like a $20 prostitute, or someone you’d see on What Not To Wear!!” Stacey and Clinton where are you, these women need help!!
The other day there was nothing on t.v., as usual, and I was flipping channels. I came across the show, “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant”. Apparently a lot of people don’t know when they are pregnant since they have a whole series about it! How is this even possible?? “I thought I had gas, but then I gave birth to a baby!” Okay really? You seriously had no clue? You’d think the lack of your period, fatigue, a lot of weight gain, and the feeling of something moving in your stomach would clue you in!!

I’ve been trying to come up with some random crap for like ever! I’ve written and rewritten this post about 5 times. C’mon? How hard can it be to come up with something random? I can’t even complain about the kids. They’ve been getting along and have been really good this summer. I spend most days sleeping in, doing as little housework as possible, then hanging by the pool. It’s so tough.
I got a brand new Canon digital camera last week and so far I love it! I’ve been driving the kids crazy taking pictures of them all the time. I want to really comfortable with it before our trip to Walt Disney World next month. J-Man did say to me “Why did you need a new camera? Your other camera works fine and I don’t see any difference.” Geesh kid! He’s probably thinking that we could’ve spent that money on a video game instead of a dumb camera. Believe me, the picture and movies are way better with the new camera whether J-Man sees it or not.
I have a “To Do Before We Got To Walt Disney World” list hanging on the fridge. There are about 20 things on there, some are mine, some are for my husband to do. So far there are about 4 things crossed off and as my husband so kindly pointed out, they are all things with his name beside it. Gee, thanks honey.
You think you’ve got nothing random to say then you see this headline Man Arrested wth 18 Monkeys in his Pants . Is that 18 monkeys in your pants or are you just glad to see me? Really, does it get any better than that?

I think I saw someone trying to commit suicide today, although I’m not really sure. I was just leaving work, getting on the highway when I saw this guy basically hugging the “Yield” sign. We were in the middle of a really strong thunderstorm with lightening bolts everywhere. He was definitely hugging the sign. So I figured he was trying to commit suicide by holding on to a metal sign during a thunderstorm. You gotta give him points for originality.
I really don’t understand the people on Intervention. I know, I’ve brought this show up before, but on tonight’s episode the woman was spending $150.00 a day on PCP. For someone that doesn’t have a job, she sure was able to afford her habit! I’m lucky to spend $5.00 a day on anything!
In Target’s sale paper this Sunday they had back to school stuff!! My kids have only been out of school for 3 or 4 weeks!! I really don’t want to think about school shopping yet!
Facebook is so much fun. Last week my Mom was convinced that I had a new tattoo because I was “friends” with a tattoo shop. Nope, not yet….

I started this last night but it was boring with a capital Bore so I’m starting over.
I haven’t seen the movie Despicable Meyet, but the idea of having minions to do my evil bidding is very appealing. I know I have kids, but they don’t do my bidding at all and forget the dogs, they don’t have a brain between them and the cats, well, I think I’m their minion not the other way around.
Speaking of cats, our new kitten is getting huge. She wants to eat all the time. I try telling myself it’s because she must have had to fight for her food before she came here instead of the fact that she’s a big huge pig and a bully. I’ll go with the illusion.
Work has been doing a good job of imitating the climate of hell lately. I don’t know what’s wrong with the AC, but it doesn’t seem to work. The only saving grace is we always have chocolate. I’m pretty sure there isn’t any chocolate in hell. If there is, it’s probably just out of reach. That would be hell, chocolate that you can see but not have.

Somehow I managed to only see Independence Day once over the long holiday weekend. I also watched Jaws again. I don’t know what it is about that movie, but every time it’s on I end up watching it.
Here is a video that J-Man has been laughing at this morning.
Blogging while the kids are home for summer vacation is a lot harder. The sounds of “momma, momma, momma, momma and mom, mom, mom, mom” are just hammering in my brain making it a little difficult to think of anything, even random crap is eluding me right now.
This is for Anne at Small Town Mommy . Yes, Anne, I am trying to taunt you all with my upcoming trip to Walt Disney World

Today I managed to spend most of the day laying in the pool on my float. I’m almost as dark as Magda from “There’s Something About Mary”, but not nearly as wrinkled up yet.
Laundry dries outside in 30 minutes when it is 95 degrees out. That’s 2 hrs. and 30 mins. faster than my dryer.
I think my nails reject nail polish. Every time I bother doing them, they chip, crack, etc. Maybe I just need to stop doing housework so that my nails will remain perfect….
I bought a pair of ankle weights yesterday to use when I go for my walk. I tried them out, and boy do you feel a difference in your legs! Oh, and you look like you’re wearing really big leg warmers. Whatever, I’m not really going for style. Good thing!
No matter how many times I watch Intervention, I can’t get over how stupid the people on the show are. I mean, really, a documentation on your drug use?? C’mon, do you really want to be on t.v. that bad?? “John doesn’t know he is going to an Intervention, he thinks he’s going for his final interview.“ One word, DUH!
Did you know that if you’re from Massachusetts you will remove the “r” from a word, (supah) and add one where it doesn’t belong (idear). It’s true, we can’t help it.
Thanks to the Orbit Gum commercial, my boys have started calling each other “Cootie Queen” and “Lint Licker”. I guess it could be worse, they could of seen an episode of any show on FXand started calling each other one of those names!

So I’m not really sure what happened to Stacy this week. Last I heard she was going to the gym.
Things have been pretty quiet over here at BMB because we were on a little vacation. We went back to Massachusetts to visit family and friends, oh, and eat. Ya, we ate and ate. I love visiting family.
Within 2 days of arriving back in my hometown, I lost the use of the letter R in such words as pair, peppermint and lobster, which became paih, peppahmint and lobstah. I’m working on finding my R’s again now that I’m home. No promises.
Capri pants on guys? Creepy! Ya, I’m talking about you, weird rest area dude!
When we stop at rest areas, I am always in awe of those women that don’t look like they’ve been traveling in a crowded car for hours with kids and dogs and are walking a razor edge between Crazy Town and Insaneville. They’re the ones that don’t have messy hair and lines imprinted on their faces from sleeping against the seat-belt. Guess which category I fall into.
Yesterday was my birthday and tomorrow is Sissy’s birthday. I had to work last night because I wanted to have tomorrow night off. The supah (no R) people I work with got me a birthday cake and believe me, if there was ever a night we needed some chocolate cake, it was last night. I brought home what was left. When I finally got home, everyone was still up and my husband and Sissy had made my favorite cake ever! Hot milk cake with mocha frosting! They had looked up the recipe in my cookbook, but I’ve used it so much the writing was faded so they called my mom and got the recipe. I was supah surprised and it was just the sweetest thing. Tomorrow I’ll be baking another cake that will be a chocolate, egg-free cake with mocha frosting for Sissy’s birthday. We have some serious cake at our house. Sissy said if anyone comes over they’ll think we’re cake-a-holics. There are definitely worse things to be.
My next big adventure is just around the corner and I can’t wait! As much as I’d love to go to Blogher this year, I’ve got some bigger plans!
I’ll say Hi to the Mouse for you!
Don’t forget to link up and join us for What The Hell Wednesday tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll find Stacy before then or it’ll be a whole WTHW all about her.

You’ll have to excuse my Random Thoughts, my 9 yr. old son’s Championship Baseball Game was tonight, and it was really stressful! They didn’t win tonight, but have another chance to win tomorrow night.
Speaking of baseball, even though all the parent’s are always positive with the boys, like “good swing”,”good try”, etc., the boys put way too much pressure on themselves! Like one of the Coaches yelled, “come on guys, get in there and start having fun again.” That’s what it’s about.
Here’s a little FYI for all the truckers that read our blog, because I know we’re big in the trucking world. If a woman is walking down the street, and is exercising, and clearly NOT a prostitute, don’t honk your horn, it’s rude, annoying, and frankly stupid! What do you expect her to do?? I’ll tell you what I do, I give them the finger a dirty look……
I’m wondering, if you’re taking Cialis and you lose your vision and hearing, how do you call your doctor immediately?? First, you won’t be able to see your phone, never mind hear what he tells you to do!
My Mom gave me an Entertainment Magazine that had Angelina Jolie on the front of it. She was standing with her back showing some of her tattoos. One thing caught my eye, “Idiot”. It made me wonder why would she get that tattooed on herself? When I opened the magazine there was a smaller picture, and the word “Idiot” was in a different place. It took me a minute to realize that my Mom had written that on the picture! It just looked like it belonged there with the black ink and all. Hey you never know what someone may get tattooed on themselves!
I have gotten 3 friend requests on Facebook in the past few days from skanky looking women. I don’t know how they find me, we have no friends in common. I know Elle was getting some awhile ago, I guess they gave up with her and started bugging me. Weird.
Elle
Today is J-Man’s last day of school. Really, he couldn’t be happier. Sissy got out on Friday and it’s been bugging J-Man that he still has to go to school. I told him I would put Sissy to work and that seemed to help. Did I put her to work? Nah, not really. I let her enjoy her first day of summer vacation but soon all bets are off.
Sissy had her slumber/birthday party Saturday night. I hate slumber parties, which is funny since I always had slumber parties growing up. I think it’s being the hostess of the slumber party is why I hate them. It wasn’t terrible, nobody threw up, there weren’t any near drownings and we did get a few hours of sleep. I’ll admit that except for J-Man, we all were napping on Sunday afternoon. Too much party and not enough slumber.
Homemade mocha frosting is super yummy.

I only crave chocolate when I don’t have any in the house. When I do have some in the house, I could care less, but when I run out, uh oh! That’s when I want it the most!
If you color your hair red one weekend, and then try to color it blonde the next, it would probably be an orangery reddish type color. Just sayin’
Men are moodier than women. Just sayin’
I don’t like people touching my stuff. People at work know this very well, which is why they’re always touching my stuff. I came in to work today to find that my brand new tissue box was missing. Yep, gone, off my desk! So I went and grabbed another one and wrote my name on all four sides of it. The culprit who took the first one said that they were going to pull all the tissues out of that box and put it into the one they stole. Argh!
I’d like to know why more deer don’t get shot. When I walk the dog late at night, there are always deer outside banging and crashing through the woods! It sounds like a freakin’ T-Rex is going to bust out of the woods at me!
Did you know that Facebook has a new application called “Pot Farm”? It’s exactly what you’re thinking it is. I don’t play the applications, but did click on this to take a peek. Very interesting. I think I would play a zombie farm game or something like that. If they ever come up with that, I’ll play.
Elle
My doctor has one last thing to try before I rip out all my girl parts with an exacto knife. I’m hoping it helps because the exacto knife route is going to be pretty messy and I’m pretty sure I won’t feel like cleaning up afterwards.
I don’t think my kids could be any more excited about summer vacation. With only 6 days of school left, a rabid wolverine could be gnawing away at their leg while they are being struck by lightning and all that would come out would be “only 6 more days until summer vacation!”
The other morning I pulled open my curtains and there was a doe standing right in my flower garden. Normally this would really tick me off and I’d open the window and yell at the damn deer to get out of my garden. But since my garden is pretty overgrow with weeds, it’s not such a big deal. In fact, it was great watching the deer rip out all those weeds by the roots and eat them. She can come back anytime.
I went bathing suit shopping recently. I didn’t come home with a bathing suit. ‘Nuf said.

What is up with the white sunglasses? And guys wearing white sunglasses!! All I can think of when I see someone wearing them is Max Headroom. Of course the guys that are wearing them, have never heard of Max Headroom!
Did you know that it’s okay to eat expired Jelly Beans? I did not know that until I bought a bag of Jelly Beans from Walmart the other day. They were on clearance for $1.00. It wasn’t until I had eaten half of the bag before I saw the “Best Before Jan 31, 2010″. Oh crap!! So far, no side effects. I guess Walmart thinks it’s okay to sell Jelly Beans that expired 6 months ago!
Did you know that if you try to run to your car when it is torrential down pouring, you will look like you jumped into a swimming pool with your clothes on? I found this out when I ran out of Walmart with my expired Jelly Beans.
Did you know that when you look like a drowned rat in the grocery store, and it’s still pouring out, people you know will come up to you and ask if you got stuck in the rain? True story…
Did you know that if you try to lose weight, and you’re a woman, you will lose it in the one place you don’t want to lose it? True story again..

Stacy wrote a post about her ancient bathing suit and she mentioned she wasn’t sure how long it has been since she wrote a post that wasn’t a meme. It was March 20th. Just trying to help a sistah out.
I just heard on the news that a woman was arrested and charged with adultery. Granted, she was caught having sex in a park on a picnic table but what will her punishment be? Wearing a scarlet letter? One thing’s for sure, I’ll be bringing a tablecloth along with me the next time I use a picnic table at a park. Ewwwwwwww! Her excuse? Her husband is transgendered and they don’t have…well, you know.
Yesterday I tripped over a step stool at work. I’m just so graceful sometimes. I’m sure it was all caught on our surveillance cameras and security probably put it up on their blooper reel. I’m a little stiff today and have a few bruises, but as my husband says, “you get bruised from a stiff breeze”.
