Hiatus - be gone!

Have I really been on a writing hiatus for 2 years!!! I can't believe that I am still sane! Well I guess we could debate that fact after all is anyone really sane???! Being on vacation at the beach with no Internet (only limited to what I can see on my phone) and about 4 channels of nothing worth watching on TV, all while having Prince Charming (aka PC) mutter about  "How bored he is" reminded me how much  miss writing or should I say jotting down my rambling thoughts, since there is no rhyme or reason to what I have to say! Yes being on vacation I realized I needed to get back to my therapy sessions....aka Pep's Bubble. If that's not enough to convince me I needed to get back in the saddle again the insomnia and conversations racing around in my head sure are!!

 Let's see what have we been up to...well Prince Charming is now 11 going on 30....We just graduated 5th grade and I am so NOT looking forward to middle school! He was diagnosed with ADD and ODD (oppositional defiant disorder) 2 years ago. So that's what I've been doing arguing with him that the sky is blue, rain is wet...... round and round we go...it's almost like opposite day is everyday! Whatever I say....he argues the opposite. It really is quite madding! I have decide Eleven is Exhausting! 

I did a lot of reading on ODD when he was younger and that was what I thought he had for sure! It totally pegged his behavior, but since I don't have MD behind my name everyone told me it was just a stage! Seriously if it was a stage he would have out grown it by 3,4,5,6,7,8, 9 .....humm guess some stages last longer then others aren't I a lucky gal!!! Really I think the ODD is the Dr.'s way of saying "Sorry he's an ass, but here let me make you feel better and give you a label so you can have something to call it". I am very fortunate thou I have read some horror stories on it and compared to those he is still my little Prince Charming....somedays just more then others!

I still have my "big girl" job so that's a plus! I really do love working and enjoy the people I work with! And that's not something everyone can say! The hubby just thinks I like to play dress up every day - and Yeah that's a given! We moved...... yes again but to a bigger house .....and shocker hubby still hasn't figured out how to put the toilet paper roll on the holder.....but at least he has his own bathroom now so I don't really care!

 The hamster Padme finally died (seriously they are only suppose to live like 12-18 months she was almost 4)  and I am happy to say not by being eaten by one of the cats or snake! Another thing I am happy to announce that "Snakie" no longer lives with us either! And NO I did not have him made into a purse or pair of shoes....I think the novelty wore off when PC couldn't get him to eat a live mouse (ewwww) he ate 2 times in the 7 months we had him so we found him a new home with a friend who has lots of snakes and experience with them! Then we were back to just the 2 cats.......well until last year that is and now we have 3. But that's it!! No more pets!!! I don't even let PC or hubby drive by the pet store, much less stop in one!

 FINALLY I accomplished my goal to run a 5k ..... I actually have 5 under my belt and a Mud Crusade Race the hubby did that one with me....it was a 5k with 19 obstacles and yep...you guessed it...it was in the mud! That was über fun and we are looking for another one of those to do! And I still suck at running, still hate running but hey at least I am out there and with every race, my time improves! So with any luck one day I will consider myself a runner! LOL just not anytime soon I am sure!

But for my sanity and for PC's health and survival especially with middle school right around the corner.......and of course for the 3 people that probably read this and have wondered what happened to me, I'm back and ready to ramble!

Oh what did I do NOW!

So here I go again and opened my big fat mouth...... and inserted my foot nicely there! I really need to think before I speak, come to think of it most people do! As I sat in my office today one of the directors and I were chatting and I mentioned I'd like to do the Harvey's 5K........ it's one of my goal this year (since I wimped out last year but shhhhhh) Yeah he says we'll ALL DO IT! Oh CRAP! What have I done now! Then walks in my boss and says "We'll do what?" The 5K in April.......OH yeah 5K piece of cake! Sign us up! " Oh double CRAP! Then pipes in my other co worker with "Sure I'll do it to" Can you say TRIPLE CRAP- O-LA???? There are only 4 counting ME in my department and now we are all signing up for a 5K ....I am making the hubby attend too, and Prince Charming on his little exercise kick wants to do it to....so there you go, not only am I announcing YET again that I will run/walk/ crawl a 5k.....but now there is no backing out of it......the people in my office have committed to it(after all they are RUNNERS) .......GEEZ maybe I should just be committed!

Armed and dangerous!

I was so excited this afternoon! I got off early (shocking really) today and armed with my gift cards headed to the stores to do what I do best SHOP, SHOP , SHOP! I plowed through the store grabbing dresses, tops, work out clothes and headed to the dressing room. From where I can see everyone had already been since clothes were tossed all over in every room! I get in mine, where I hear people whispering next to my dressing room.......hummm wonder what THEY are doing ! It was a man and a woman.......so unless he was helping her with fashion tips or vice versa I think the hushed giggling gave them away! But who knows, then it hit me I got a side glance in the mirror and there it was staring me in the face , my 6 lbs I had gained since Thanksgiving ughhh add that to the other 8 lbs I gained since we moved....you do the math! I looked at all the dresses and decided I was not going to get naked in that 3 way mirror, with my giggling neighbors and my muffin top all in that tiny room!(Okay so really the neighbors were not in there, but might as well been! )I cant leave the store empty handed with $20.00 Bucs from the store that's free money! Am who am I to waste that! So I ended up with a picture frame and a candy dish for my blah gray desk at my big girl job! Depressing leaving the store with all those gift cards still in hand, but I am not buying a bigger size been there done that, gave it away (Thanks to my pal Squirt! )! So there is my New Years motivation.......I can't buy any clothes GASP! until I lose 10 lbs ....okay okay I know the math, but lets not get crazy! My hubby complained I was to skinny anyways! So I'll settle with 10! Starting of course Tomorrow! Happy News Years!

We survived!

Ahhh yes! We survived Christmas and my prediction that Prince Charming would wear his Ghillie suit all day(and then some) was correct! He woke up at 6am and was so excited that Santa ate the Cookie and took the apple for the reindeer! (And yet I wonder how I gained 6 lbs since Thanksgiving?) At 6:05 he was ripping through the presents as the hubby and I rubbed our sleepy eyes trying to focus as the tornado ripped through the packages......when it was a box that resembled clothes ( who am I fooling when it was a clothes box) he tossed it over his shoulder without looking at it! I'd say you didn't even open it, he'd reply "It's JUST clothes" and then rip the box open to please me, after all it is Christmas, one day a year he can be good right! By 6:15 he was suited up in his Ghillie suit and armed with his sniper air gun (minus the pellets of course) and out in the front yard ready to take on all the bad guys that came our way........just think if he'd been a girl we'd be playing with the Barbie dream house right about then, but no I have Rambo outside ready to take on the world! After round one ended I had everything cleaned up and ready to start round 2 by 6:30a.m. Ya know you shop and prepare a few months and in minutes all the hard work is over. If we had not been hosting brunch my tree and decorations would have been out the door at 6:30 as well. SO when round 2 started PC ripped through packages and was very excited when he received another Pellet gun...this time WITH Pellets....6,500 of them to be exact! Yes 6,500 little red pellets that his good ol aunt and uncle got him to go along with the pellet gun.....hummm silly , silly move guys since you all are having a BABY! And remember PAYBACKS are hell! Yes I see lots of noisy, messy, loads of toys heading straight to there house in the VERY near future! Hubby had good sense to hide the 6,500 pellets and PC hasn't found them yet, and quit asking so hopefully he'll forget! After everyone left at 12:30 hubby and I went to work, by 1:30 the tree was gone, the decorations were put away and Christmas looked like it never happen at our house! Ahh but yes we made it another year!
