most of you know i have a nephew who i hope one day will read this blog and realize that life can suck and it can be great. well right now life is sure sucking for him.
the little guy turned 3 this year and it seems like he skipped the terrible 2's and made it the terrible 3's!!!
my poor sister has no clue what to do anymore. he doesn't want to listen to her or my brother in law, temper tantrums are an everyday thing, he does not want to eat at meal time, he doesn't want his mother to eat either, he thinks the dog is a horse and wants to ride her, he chases the dog around and it's killing the poor pup who just wants to relax. taking him out in public is slowly becoming harder to do. my sister has finally mastered the word "no" and "time out" but this little guy has his own plans here. i am suppose to babysit the little guy over labor day weekend. well, not the whole weekend thank goodness. let's face it, if i had him for the whole weekend i think his sippy cup would not be filled with milk but with some good old fashion wine! don't worry, i would give him the kosher stuff so not to tamper with the upbringing.
i am not sure if i can deal with a meltdown. i have a 36 year old who has them daily and that's more than i can deal with. so how do i handle a 3 year old? i do know that i am not a pushover and i won't give in to his demands. he maybe good about getting what he wants but he will be up against the master here. i don't want to be the bad aunt either, i am bucking for the favorite aunt role here! so what do i do?? let him cry? give it? buy him something? take him to the nearest bar and have a drink? help!!!
this is why i have lucky. somedays she is easier to raise.

men and birthdays
what is it with men and birthdays? i understand everyone hates to get older. hell, i freaked out at 30! granted every year after that kind of sucked but at some point even i got over it. when i turned 40 i was shouting it from the rooftops. i loved it and will forever celebrate the 40th over and over again until i turn 50. then it will be a major party in my book!!! let's face it, it is a key birthday that deserves the highest of honors and prezzies!!! right?
ok where was i going with this? oh! my husband and his 36th birthday.
yesterday was his birthday and he did not take it too well. every year we go through the same thing. he wants a fuss, he doesn't, he wants cards, he doesn't, he wants everyone to remember, he doesn't. this all started when he turned 30. now granted i understand part of it but he takes this one step further. he goes for the full depression. i am still not sure after all these years why but i try not to let his mood damped the day. it is the one day of the year that i do grant his "all about me" mode so i do what i can to help make it better for him. in his mind he is not young anymore, the body is changing, he isn't where he thought he would be in life at this age (like who really is?), he can't do the same things he could 10 years ago (seriously who would want to?) and the fact he is now one step closer to 40.
the day before did not help his mood either. ace is a cancer in the zodiac world to my scorpio so you can see where this gets tricky. anyway the day before he had a little altercation at work and he let it bother him to the point that it became better than it needed to be. true cancer if you ask me. i'll give you the cliff note version: 2 techs, 1 husband and a stupid joke that backfired. get the picture? thought so. remember when i say techs i am talking automotive so i am sure you understand.
so he let it get bigger and i got pissed because, why let it ruin your weekend. i mean i know it wasn't going to ruin theirs and i sure as hell wasn't going to let it ruin mine. so i tried to explain this to him and in the end i told him to fuck off. wrong words to say to someone when they are already pissed but oh well. we fought as normal and finally i was able to tell him that what he is doing is giving them the satifaction of being upset and that this was not worth it. karma comes home and to just let it be. he actually listened to me and dropped the subject.
funny thing, the next the he got his bday wish, karma came home and one tech got it in the end.
ok where was i going with this? oh! my husband and his 36th birthday.

the week from hell and hell only...
as in the last blog i was stuck with a sick husband who, yes, got me sick. it only took him 12 hours for this to happen. a new worlds record for him since he normally takes his sweet ass time for ANYTHING. which reminds me, he went into the bedroom because he has a headache and he normally does not do that one. hang on folks, i need to check if he is dead or not. brb.
i'm back and no he is not dead. however he is asleep and breathing which means he will be awake very early and will wake me up. G-D DAMN IT!!!!!!!!
this is part of my week from hell. after he got me sick, my beloved laptop got sick too. i have no idea what happen, how it happen or if i did it. all i know is that i could not connect to the internet no matter what i did. at that time i was still using dial up and was pretty pissed with AOL. they told me it was a modem problem and to call dell. dell said it was not a modem problem and call AOL. aol said it was their fault and service would be back in 24 hrs.
let me tell you, having all this happen on a saturday of all days especially when i am already sick with a cold and can't breathe to save my life is not good. all i could think of was trying to get through the next 24 hrs and i would have some kind of service. also all i could think of was new ways to kill my husband for getting me sick. not to mention the jackass was going around saying, "but i feel better!!" sure you feel better you asshole, you gave me your sicko germs!!!
yes catching his cold is still a sore point with me and always will be. it now goes on the list of things he will never be forgiven for. especially since at this point i had a week to get well because i had my cousin's wedding the following weekend.
well after 24 hrs i tried to log on again. and again no luck. both dell and AOL swearing up and down it was the other's fault. i screamed at dell that their warranty i purchased during the "great laptop crash of 2011" sucked, i screamed at aol that they were nothing but garbage and i screamed at my husband because he was there and i can.
come monday morning i decided that was it i was biting the bullet and getting someone to install some kind of internet. a little google and i found someone. funny thing it was the same company my old neighbors across the street were using until they forgot to pay the bill and got cut off. i used to scam off their router many times. so i knew this company could hook me up. hook me up they did with a sweet deal. since i had no loyality to my phone service i dumped them on the spot and bundled up with some high speed internet for the same price as i was paying for a phone. i figured if i am dumping them, f**k if i am paying them this month for next month. time was arranged and we were in business.
i wish i could say the rest of the week followed as well but we are talking about me here and that never would happen. maybe in a fairy tale.
at this point i was still on my quest to breathe. not to mention my quest in returning a pair of shoes for something i liked better. well since breathing came first, i hit walgreens. almost literally since i sneezed as i was pulling into a parking spot. trust me, they would have and always deserve it. so i make my way to the cold section only to find out that sudefed is now kept under lock and key. really??!! are you serious?!! yes! i go up to the counter (after waiting 15 minutes in line) and i ask for a box. i figured she would hand it over, i pay and that would be it. no. i have to show my id. why? well it seems that sudefed is the main ingredient in crystal meth. who knew? the girl tells me i have to sign something saying that this is being used for the intended purpose and will not hold walgreens responsible in any way.
seriously? do i look like i was in any condition to make crystal meth? all i wanted was to breathe again. and let's be honest here, cooking crystal meth falls into any kind of cooking in my book and cooking anything is never on my list of things to do. EVER!! so i think we were all pretty safe on that one.
anyway at this point the stress was building in the house. i was sick, i have no internet, my computer was not working, my husband was driving me nuts and now he is stressing because i am sick and have no computer and i am rushing around making sure everything is getting done to attend my cousin's wedding in now 5 days.
things were going ok until we hit wednesday when my husband had to get his haircut and mow his parents lawn. (lawn is another story here for a later date)
this was scheduled to happen after work but when daddy calls he runs. mostly because he wanted to discuss our upcoming vacation with them. so after a little juggling he goes at noon for a haircut, i go and pick up the wedding gift, a card, some nail polish for my toes and off the the rents. all that got discussed was mowing the lawn.
oh well maybe next time. right now my goal is to get home, give myself a pedi and dye my hair. i get that all done and fall into an exhausted and not restful sleep. the husband is on a toss and turn binge and can't sleep so i suffer for it. this had been going on for over a week and was not fun. i am not nice when i do not get my sleep. so come thursday i am not good.
oh i am getting a little a head of myself here. since i could not get my laptop to work and i had scheduled the internet guy for thursday, i needed a back up plan. so i did what anyone else would do in a hurry, i bought a new laptop. well, it was more like a mini notebook with windows 7 starter that did nothing for me and since i could not make lucky my background pic i was really pissed. plus i paid for over night shipping to make sure it was there before thursday. needless to say when i opened the box i was not happy. not to mention the damn thing was so small i could not read a fucking thing.
so let's add that to my stress level, shall we? i was scheduled for the last appointment of the day so at 2pm i get this call saying he was on the way. what?!?!?! no that wasn't going to work. i, like a dumbass who has been on sudefed way too long, told my husband about this. his solution, well let's leave work. ahhh no we are not leaving. this was not was promised to me. after a lot of fast talking, i got the guy to show at 4:15. so he drills holes into my house and we try to hook my laptop up. no dice. meanwhile, i have a husband who wants dinner, a dog who wants dinner and to say hello to her new friend and a laptop that i am told has no dirvers which is why it will not connect. that was good news since now i knew why it crapped in the first place. so we use the small stupid not staying with me for long notebook and presto i have internet for the first time.
this should have been a happy moment but no. i have to run back to walgreens when this was done to pick up hubby's other meds because he is getting sick again.
granted i did not want to go but seeing an hour of peace and quite was worth it.
i go, come home and of course we fight. seriously about nothing really. just a weeks worth of stress came bubbling up and out. to keep from really killing him this time, i opted out of fighting and just sat by myself until bed time. now you would think 2 people who were exhausted and under some knock out drugs would sleep, right? nope. toss, turn, bounce and have some kind of nightmare was on his agenda. no sleep for you!!!!!!
so i am one hell of a crab on friday plus i still have things to do before the day is out. like double check with the internet company about the following thursday's phone installation, mani, bank, cancel aol and tell them what a piece of shit they are and grocery shop.
i made the decision that i would not worry about my laptop until after the wedding. so friday night i did nothing. it was good.
we went to alissa's wedding and it was beautiful. my killer looking shoes did not kill me!!!
sunday i got dell to wipe my laptop and i am now in working order again then i fought with dell to return the other one, i won and life as i know it is getting back to some kind of peaceful moments. well until my husband wakes up at midnight and realized he can't go back to sleep. that might turn into the "i killed him, finally" blog.
the best news i did get was that one of my best friends graduated nursing school and is now an official RN!! way to go!!!! she worked long and hard for it and i couldn't be happier or any prouder!!!!! she is going to make an amazing nurse and probably change her number after me texting her so many medical questions. LOL
until next time....

babies... and i do not mean the cute and cuddly kind.
well it's thursday night and for the last few hours i have been listening to a baby. i wish i could say it was the cute and cuddly kind but it's not. i am listening to a 35 1/2 year old grown man kevetch. for all you goys out there, that means bitch.
i know from experience that when men are sick they are complete and utter babies. I did have a father and 2 grandfathers so i have witnessed this. my husband is no different and he takes this to a whole new level. he wants someone to make it all better, he wants to bitch about what ails him, he wants sympathy and he wants someone to wait on him hand and foot.
now if this was the 1950's and stepford wives still were in style, sure i would do it in a heartbeat. this is the 21st century. 2011 for pete's sake!!!! i do not do this. waiting on him hand and foot was never programed into my dna. my mother never waited on my dad like that. where this sick person gets this idea is beyond me. wait.. i take that back, i do know where he gets this idea, from his mother who is the product of the 1950's and still waits on her husband.
let me do a little back track here for all you readers. i am jewish. i grew up in a whole different world. the women in my family did not wait on anything, unless it was a sale at marshall field's. some of us cooked, some of us didn't (guess which i fall into), some worked, managed the kids and the house at the same time and when we got sick, we got up and did the same thing we did the day before.
ok i maybe getting a little off subject here so i will try to stay on track. where was i going with this story? oh yeah, my husband is sick.
why do all men turn into children when they are sick? i don't understand. i am not trying to be mean but you have to admit it is true. it's not like they have never been sick before like a newborn or a 2 year old who has not experienced being sick. real babies i can understand, they can't talk and tell you what is going on. this one can't shut up about it. he is "congested, chest hurts, head hurts, throat hurts, maybe it's allergies, maybe it's a bad cold, is it hot in here, is it cold in here, am i cold, am i hot, i can't breath out of my nose, i can only breath from one side, why am i suddenly congested again, when will this go away, when will i feel better......" these are the complaints i have heard since we got home.
i normally can handle sick people. i too have been one but i can' deal with this. to go along with the lithenary list of complaints i get the noises. the hacking, gagging, the drama breath, the drama cough... the drama of someone who THINKS they are dying but much to my dismay not dying. yes i am being harsh, again, but if you were sitting here you would do the same thing and you all know it.
this is unreal. when i finally had enough and needed an idea what to do, i texted on of my best friends for advise. she is a nurse, or should i say will be a full fledged nurse with in the next few days. she graduates from school. i told her what was happening and she had said it sounded like bronchitis. the husband does suffer from it. she thought it would be best to see the doctor and lay off the smoking in the meantime. no smoking comments, please. i asked ace if he wanted me to call the doctor and he said yes and to make an appointment for next week. next week? are you freaking serious??? i am not going to wait until next week and spend the weekend listening to all of this. 4 hours is enough! so i said if you are that sick, we are going to the doctor. so i called half expecting the emergency service, however luck was on my side and they have an opening for tomorrow afternoon.
much to my surprise he agreed to go. i am seriously thinking of making this a 2 for 1 deal because i am afraid that i too will catch what ever he has. of course will i get any sympathy? ahhhh nooooo!!! instead it will be a pissing match of who is sicker. if that happens. pray for me folks that this ends and soon.
tune in tomorrow to see if the doc agrees with the nurse, who in my book is always right!

long time no see...... part 2
since i haven't post in such a long time, i need to catch you all up on what's been going on.
let's start with my favorite subject, my lucky puppy.
lucky has been going well. she is healthy and happy. this past january she turned 9 years old. she had a little birthday party that left her in some kind of coma or from our stand point, hangover land. her best bud's helped celebrate and from what i could read on her fb wall it was a smash. yes i looked. don't judge either because you know you would look too.
she got some nice gifts from her auntie shawnda too. now we have another ball in the house that if we touch you need to take cover. she will jump on you and fight for it. it seems anything auntie shawnda gives her is not touchable by anyone else. it makes her happy so that makes me happy too.
as each day goes by, i do worry about my baby. her face it getting whiter, her eyelashes are grayer, some days she moves slowly, some very fast. i have also noticed that she may be getting a little arthritis in her back legs. when she goes to jump up on the bed, her couch or chair she may miss it. i understand that this does happen to dogs her age but it's hard for me to watch. we have this big deck in the yard that she leaps off of. she has no problems doing that but when it's time to come back in, she sometimes misses a step.
it scares me when this happens.
lately i have noticed my baby has gotten a little lumpier too. i know they are just fatty deposits and they come and go but i worry about them turning into something more.
ace has noticed them too and like me, not sure if we should have them removed or not. we know that they don't hurt her. i hate the idea of putting her through something she doesn't have to. i would do anything for her but am i being selfish not doing anything or doing something because i want her to be around forever?
i have also noticed some days she sleeps more. that scares me too. she has always been highly active and some days not so much. people tell me this is normal but when you are a dog mom, you can't help but worry. she has someone home with her during the day but since this person decided to have some kind of life (another story and maybe next blog) i don't feel like she is getting the care she needs.
let's start with my favorite subject, my lucky puppy.
lucky has been going well. she is healthy and happy. this past january she turned 9 years old. she had a little birthday party that left her in some kind of coma or from our stand point, hangover land. her best bud's helped celebrate and from what i could read on her fb wall it was a smash. yes i looked. don't judge either because you know you would look too.
she got some nice gifts from her auntie shawnda too. now we have another ball in the house that if we touch you need to take cover. she will jump on you and fight for it. it seems anything auntie shawnda gives her is not touchable by anyone else. it makes her happy so that makes me happy too.
as each day goes by, i do worry about my baby. her face it getting whiter, her eyelashes are grayer, some days she moves slowly, some very fast. i have also noticed that she may be getting a little arthritis in her back legs. when she goes to jump up on the bed, her couch or chair she may miss it. i understand that this does happen to dogs her age but it's hard for me to watch. we have this big deck in the yard that she leaps off of. she has no problems doing that but when it's time to come back in, she sometimes misses a step.
it scares me when this happens.
lately i have noticed my baby has gotten a little lumpier too. i know they are just fatty deposits and they come and go but i worry about them turning into something more.
ace has noticed them too and like me, not sure if we should have them removed or not. we know that they don't hurt her. i hate the idea of putting her through something she doesn't have to. i would do anything for her but am i being selfish not doing anything or doing something because i want her to be around forever?

lucky has the smallest bladder on earth. lucky if you ever read this, i am sorry but you do.
she does have a problem and will let that bladder loose, mostly on my back rug. just recently she was on a snow eating marathon since we got 24 inches dumped on us this winter. to make matters worse, since it's been raining for 40 days and nights she has been licking everything in site so that bladder fills as fast as she let's it loose.
her new thing is to hold her bowels until she has no choice to let it go too. funny thing that is on the beige part of the carpet. some days i think she does it out of spite others for the lack of day time care. is this normal? does other dogs do this or do i just have the strangest one in the world??
long time no see......
ok friends, i am back. long time no blog i know. i hope you can forgive me for being very laxed in this area of life but i have reasons for not being on here for a LONG LONG TIME.
part of the problem was what i like to call the great laptop crash of 2011. one saturday night ace was doing his normal let's annoy me thing. as some of you know it is a weekend ritual. i like peace and quiet and he is loud and a pain in my ass. don't get me wrong, i do love the man but sometimes i feel like i am taking care of a 35 year old child. anyway he came downstairs after watching some war movie on tv. now for him watching a war movie is never good, he gets way too caught up in it. why? beats me. i don't ask and to be honest, don't give a crap either. so he comes down and starts playing tug of war with lucky who is sitting next to me and the laptop. i said a dozen times not to play near me and the laptop. i asked, i pleaded, i even threatened his life and i was still ignored. well one thing led to another and between both of them they knocked the power cord out of the wall. you can guess what happened.
i should have rebooted the damn thing and closed it out like a normal person. however, i didn't. instead i screamed at ace and world war 2011 broke out. we tossed out lots of verbal abuse, i tossed anything i could find at his head and well the fight soon ended with me sending him to another part of the house.
the next day he knew i was mad but wasn't sure why so he treaded very carefully around me. i never went near the laptop all day because i knew deep in my gut there was a problem. finally ace asked me if i could check something on line and i said sure not a problem. at that point he knew something was up but still did not say anything. i, on the other had, with the fake smile started to power up the laptop.
i powered it on and proceeded to wait for the opening screen.... 2 minutes... 5 minutes... 8 minutes.... 10 minutes.... finally i get my opening screen. now for someone of you friends reading this, you know where this is going. yes houston we have a problem.
ace looks at me, then the screen, the back at me looking like he is not sure if he should talk to me or not. i will give him credit, he kept his trap shut and asked no questions.
with that i shut it down.
the next day i spoke with some tech geeks i know. i told them what happen and all said, i was in big trouble. i was given tips how to fix this but let's face it i am no tech geek and needed a quick fix. after trying their ideas i gave up and called the nice people at dell.
dell was great. they discovered my laptop was virused out (if that is a real term) and the only solution was to wipe it clean.
had i known that, i would have written down my bookmarks and passwords. but a lass, i had no time nor the dinero for this either. i had to make a choice and fast so i agreed to a wipe out. i lost all my pictures of lucky, my family, my nephew, bookmarks and passwords.
i did manage to burn most of the pictures to a disk a few weeks before this, so all was not totally gone but it was heartbreaking. so was the $250 i had to shell out (could not really afford). i made not have made bill gates richer but i sure made dell happy that night.
so in the end, i got my laptop back but lost my blogging password and of course my blog for a while. ok a long while. shout out to one of my best friends on earth and the best blogger i know, dingo, savannah and lily bean's mommy!!! with out her, i am not sure i would have ever found my blog!!!!!
now when i am asked my ace to look something up, i can say, "i can't. the site was lost in the laptop crash of 2011." funny thing he is still not sure how it happen but knows it is all his fault. i take comfort in that!
until next time......

it's all about her part one million
again i have to say i hate devoting a blog to someone whom i can not stand but it's my blog and if writing about what bitch this woman is going to make me feel better, then so be it.
i am also doing this because this woman is a snoopy little bitch and i know she will pop in here sooner or later.
as i said, i met this woman on another website and let's face it we all know which one i am talking about here. the ''witch bitch" as i call her or wb for short, has become highly jealous of the things i do or even someone else. if someone else is getting more attention than she, g_d help us all. now if you go back to january 2010 and read the "all about her" blog, or whatever i called it, you can get some back ground on this woman. however, i have to admit, i sugar coated it to be nice at the time. well nice time is over, so let's get to the nitty gritty here. she is older than me. WAY OLDER!! she has been divorced many times, her boyfriend left her, he used her for money she thought she was getting, she lies about everything, she thinks facebook is real, she thinks that everyone loves her (NOT!!!),
she has experienced everything in life (she never leaves her house so how can that be?), she has every single diesase known to man ( can we say hypo here?), she makes friends with others on fb whom she doesn't even know or have talked to but since they commented on my wall she feels compelled to friend then and then talk shit about my to them in her "little friend thread in box", i know this for a fact because one sent ME THE FREAKING COPY!!!
am i being a bitch here? YES!!! am i being as petty? YES!!!! there is only so much bullshit i will take until i blow, and yup i reached it.
it started out with someone else who was in a car accident. this person was not hurt but their car was a bit damaged. so i commented on it and offered words of advise since i am in the car business and this person's car is one of the models we service. so it only seemed right. not even 24hrs later wb was also in an accident. of course it was not her fault even though she slammed into the back of the car. according to her this person was parked.
anyway for the last few days all i have seen is post of car being totaled, i know where that woman lives, i am going to get her, i was hurt so bad, my airbags went off etc etc etc.
fine whatever!!!! did i comment or ask how she was? no. why bother because that would feed the fire. well i guess she must have noticed my absence because she felt the need to comment on something of mine and of course insert her 2 cents.
which btw, bitch, you might want to hang on to the 2 cents you own since you will need it for when THAT WOMAN YOU HIT SUES THE PANTS OFF YOU!!!!! SHE WILL BECAUSE YOU HIT HER BY DRIVING TOO FAST AND NOT PAYING ATTENTION!!!!
ok, sorry but i really needed to do that one.
anyway, she commented and i said my response was directed at someone else not her.
next thing i see is wb friends my friend. let's face some facts here, she has never talked to this person, she is not mutual friend with anyone else except me, so why send a request to someone whom you have nothing in common with?
to piss me the f**k off!!!
they say karma comes back at you, well by me blogging and her posting (something that never happen) it will come back WB, trust me it will come back. or did it hit you already?
