OK, so I used to live in a trailer park, and believe it or not i loved it.

Jolene the trailer park queen is like my stunt double I swear.

This clip is too funny.

Annie at the drive thru

OK, on the way home from the dentist today I decided to stop at McDonald's.  We never stop there. 

Never.

I thought it would be something special for the kids.

I knew if I ordered stuff off the dollar menu we could afford it.

I pulled up the the drive thru, picked out what we wanted and proceeded to order.

No one answered.

I said it again.

Nothing.

Loretta started to say something and I told her to be quiet, I was trying to order our food.

She just looked at me.

Still no response from the gal taking the order.

"Mom, you are talking to the garbage can".

"Be quiet, I am trying to order your burger".

No response.

"Mom, listen to me, that thing is the garbage can, not the intercom."

I gave her that "what in the hell are you talking about" look.

"Mom, I am telling you, it says "pull up and order", that thing is the garbage can.

I sat there for another second.

Darn, she was right.

Who in the hell would put the garbage can there?

I pulled up and ordered.

The girl at the register just laughed.

"Happens all the time Mam, don't worry".

Next dentist appointment I will pack a lunch for everyone.

getting back to work

OK, so I am thinking of going back to work.

How does one pay 5 dollars an hour for daycare?

No wonder no one works any more.

Holy crap.

That's all I have to say for  now.

Holy crap.

I just want to remind everyone I have four  kids still at home.

Do the math.

Holy crap times four.

i am learning new crap

OK, so I am trying to learn how to do new things on the computer.  It seems to take me forever but I can usually figure it out.

I am so darn proud of this collage I just had to post this picture.

I made it using PIKNIK .


So proud of my self

How to refill your Swiffer Wetjet and save money cleaning your floors!

i am a follower not a leader

OK, so I thought I was a leader.

I am pretty good at leading things. 

Except organizing and cleaning.

So, I am following The Clutterbug.

Everyday she is posting crap to do as far as organizing your house and cleaning it.

I am following.

She shows cool crafts.

I try like hell to do them.

I hope she doesn't ask us all to rob a bank and send her the money because I will probably do it if it's on one of her printout sheets.

My new watch or: I need a brand new car

OK, so we had a birthday party for my sister in law and Karen showed up.

"Mom, I bought you a new watch".

I almost fell off my chair.

"How did you know I needed a new watch?"

"I read the blog yesterday".

She bought me the exact same watch I had that died.

I was so happy, now I can tell the time again.

So, I got thinking.

If I blog about needing a new car, maybe she will buy me one?

How about a new house?

Oh yeah, a dishwasher?

Riding lawnmower?

I guess I will cut my losses and just be happy with my new watch.

I love that kid.

Camping

OK, so Oprah goes camping.  It's funny as hell really.

I used to enjoy camping until one day I realized this:

I was the one who had to pack all the camping crap.

I was the one who had to unpack all the camping crap.

I was the one who had to repack all the camping crap.

Oh yeah, and put it away at home.

I also was the one who had to cook, put up the tent, make the fire, entertain the kids While making sure they went to the bathroom before peeing in their pants.

All while my significant other sat in a chair drinking beer.

I don't camp anymore.

But, I liked watching Oprah doing it.

Oprah camping this is so funny

My broken watch

OK, a few months ago I bought the greatest watch in the world.

 I swear I am legally blind so I need one with a big face.

I found one.  It's just about as big as a clock you hang on the wall.

I love it.

You can actually see the time.  It winds up just like my Grandfather's watch did.

It broke.

The face fell off.

Crap.

I ran to the Dollar Store and grabbed one of those plastic digital ones that I hate.

It looks like something you would get out of a box of Captain Crunch.

I am so blind there is no way in the world I will ever be able to see the time.

No way.

I can never figure out how to set these kind of watches.  I hate them with a passion.

I tried the pointed end of a knife, a baby pin and a paper clip.  Then my sister-in-law showed up out of nowhere and set it with a pen like everyone else does.






Now I have an excuse to be late.

I have no idea what time it is because I can't see my watch.

Maybe tomarrow I will go back to The Dollar Store and buy a pair of reading glasses for a dollar and one of those cool things to hang around my neck that holds your glasses on for another dollar so I can read my watch. My fourth grade teacher wore one of those.  Maybe I will look like a teacher if I get one.

Maybe not.

Maybe I should have just bought another watch like the first one I actually liked.

Nasty Annie

When you are home all day I guess people think you have nothing else to do but drink coffee.

I have these weirdest people stop at my house and expect me to visit with them for hours.

I actually had to be nasty with some of them yesterday and told them I can't visit any more , I actually do have things to do.

Although if you saw my laundry pile you would certainly think I am lying like a rug.

They kind of god mad.

I don't care.

I am being Nasty Annie this week I guess.

I also had a girl who was supposed to make bookbags for my kids.  Now School started a while ago.  These bags are not done.  I could have made the damn things myself.

I emailed her and she hasn't even started them. She says she is afraid to cut into the fabric.

You have got to be kidding me.  I sent another friend over to pick up the damn fabric.

After a nasty email from nasty Annie she says she will take the fabric over to the other girl who can throw the damn crap in the trash for all I care.  Usually if you don't plan on doing a project for someone you could at least let them know, not just let them think you are doing it.

God, I am so nasty this week.

I was raised to "not step on toes".

"Don't make waves"

How dumb is that thinking anyway?

Susie's art work or Mom crap

OK, so I pick up the kids from school and Susie has this awesome picture to show me.  It is a rendition of the Peace Bridge.

It is really neat looking.

Nice colors.

I hold it up while I am trying to drive.

"This is a great picture", I tell her trying not to get in an accident.

Silence.

"Nice colors".

Silence.

I can see tears welling up in her eyes.

"Now, what in the hell did I say?"

"Mom, it's upside down!"

"Oh".

I put the picture down trying not to hit the neighbor's mailbox.

"I knew that, I was just testing you".

"Mom, you are so full of crap".

I guess she is too old to believe my "Mom crap".

my kids toys

My kids have so many toys it's stupid.

They play with none of them.

Except the Barbies.

Yesterday I caught them with my aluminum foil making dresses out of the foil.

I thought it was great.

I gave them some yarn and they wrapped the dolls and made dresses out of the yarn.

They even got out their Bratz dolls and made aluminum foil shoes to cover the missing feet that got vacuumed up in the vacuum cleaner.

I am heading down to Dollar Tree to buy out the rest of their aluminum foil.

colder than hell

OK, so you wake up and the furnace is on the fritz.

It's colder than hell.

I am told "Hotter than hell" is used for hot weather.

"Colder than a witches titty", is the proper term to use when it's cold.

Where do they come up with this crap?

Talk later,

Colder than hell,

Annie
