that $%*^#...

Since we are all family here, well.. you know what I mean.. I share my life with you, you listen.. all is well with the world.

I wanted to give you an update on what has been happening with me lately. My regular 'ol run of the mill appendectomy has created a bit of a monster. Its unleashed a lovely kidney stone the size of Texas and it doesnt seem to want to come out.








This is beast is 6-9 MM big and has taken up residence in my bladder. Throwing parties daily and trashing the place but thankfully it hasnt invited any frineds over yet.... that bastard.

Ive issued and eviction notice but so far, he has been dodging me and the Dr's.

Its not like a friendly poltergeist, that you could live with. You just cant live a kidney stone, they arent friendly. If he isnt gone in the next day or two, I fear that I might have to call in the big guns...

Yep, thats right,I'll have to call in the Priest.. to do an exorcism.








I wonder if I can order Holy Water on Ebay?

Beaners....per Carlos

Since I was a little girl, I have been plaqued with insomnia. At times, it is truly horrible.. and at other times, I really dont mind as much.

I know that might seem strange, but that actually allows me time to do things online or watch late night TV.... and in doing so, I have found that I can not live without watching my new squeeze Carlos.


I LOVE this Beaner!

Carlos.. is truly,undeniably..brilliant!

Dont worry Horatio Sans, I love you too... but man ohhh man...

Carlos is one funny guy!Home Depot should be paying him royalities..

Jerrid.......

Today, is a day that would make any mother proud...


Today, my dear friend Danielle had a graduation party for her son Jerrid...a boy, that has been much like my own son over the past 8.5 years.





Today, Jerrid proved that you can be in a punk rock band, believe in your dreams and yourself, graduate early from school while being on the honor roll....

...Yet, still be a really wonderful kid.... and have masses of fans!







I remember the days when bleaching out the top of his hair was "cool", skateboarding was going to be his way of life... and getting his ears pierced was a big deal.

He now has dyed his hair multi colors, has had a mohawk (which I advocated for), has 2 tattoos, and still calls to let his mom know where he is or if he is going to be late.





As I mentioned before, Jerrid is in a punk rock band, The ScumBoys.. and they just released their first ever real CD!!

The boys (all four of them) went into the studio and cut the CD, it took them 5 hours and cost them about $500, but they are so excited. They sell their CD's for $5...

I of course got an autographed copy!! I feel so special....They play venues all over.. mostly St.Cloud area, Big Lake..St.Paul





The ScumBoys!! Chris, John, Jerrid and Wyatt


I had always hoped, wished, prayed and begged for my stepson (whom I always thought of as my son AND who is also the same age as Jerrid) to stay the course.

I would of loved to have thrown him a graduation party, but he chose another path for himself.

Im more than envious of Danielle I must say, she has gotten her step son graduated... and now her son.

So far Im 0-4. I have two more chances.






I think that is every mothers right, the right to be able to order a cake like this, or similar to this for their child....


dammit, I will have my day.. in 2009!

The "SURGERY"

So, I come back from camping on Monday right... to immediately have surgery on Wednesday morning.... yep, you heard me right, surgery!

Seems as if all of the sleeping I did while camping was for a reason...I had a pretty serious case of appedicitous (sp)

That creepy little piece of organ located at the bottom of my colon has gave me nothing but serious pain and grief..BUT Im feeling a lot better now.



Yeah, that little nasty organ is now gone......and I am left with a 5" gash in my belly, AND Im home until the 22nd... Dr's orders. Sounds like the perfect time to catch up on homework, housework and ohh yeah, recouperating!
