First of all, I want to tell you that I was nominated for the award “One Lovely Blog Award” by Rob from http://weight2lose2013.wordpress.com Thank you Rob for this nomination!!
What can I say? I’m flattered. What else? I’ll put a picture of the award on the side of this page . Something more? Yes!! I’m not going to do all the other requirements of nominating other bloggers and saying things about me. Am I breaking the rules?? Yes!! Why???? Because I can!!!
Busted again… I decided to reward myself with a long bath on Tuesday evening.
After the bath, I didn’t feel like hiding the evidence because it was pretty cold.
Yesterday afternoon, when my second son went to the bathroom, he shouted: “Did you take another bath with candles???”
A couple of weeks ago, I was with my oldest son building a little cabinet to put in the bathroom and he found the missing lighter hidden in one of the boxes I used to leave inside the tub. He asked: “Why is the lighter here?” “I use it sometimes” “Do you smoke too?” “No, it’s to light candles” “Which candles?” “The ones I use when I take a bath” “But the bathtub is full of boxes!” “Yes, I leave the boxes there on purpose. You see, if I don’t, you and your siblings will make a swimming pool in the house and I don’t feel like drying everything every time. See this? This is where I hide the candles, the soap, and the incense” “You cheater!!” “Hehehehe, but I keep the wine in the kitchen” “And you take bathes every time we go to daddy?” “Pretty much… And I also put some nature sounds on the iPod and… relax”. I was VERY careful choosing that last word.
Few days later, when the man came to pick my kids, my oldest son and him had a fight. The man was shouting at me: “He’s not coming with me!!” “He is because he is your son and you have to take the children today, handle the situation” “I don’t want him like this!!” So my son interrupted us saying: “She doesn’t want me here either, she has plans” “Do you??” “Maybe” Then my son continued: “She take long bathes with candles and music when we are not here” WTF!! Then the man looked at me with a smirk and said: “Do you?” “You bet! But he forgot to tell you about the wine” “Really?” “Mummy time, baby”.
I believe I forgot to tell you that last week I finally built my bed. After almost 2 months of sleeping on the air mattress and sharing it with some of my kids, I decided it was time to sleep on a real bed.
It’s a very simple bed that I placed in my room in a way that everyone who saw it had something to say about it. I admit I chose the strangest spot, but I did it because this way, I’m facing the ceiling window. I can see the stars at night (3 nights in total because it’s always cloudy) and in the morning I can see the top of one pine tree and many times a bird on it.
This is the gorgeous view if I’m standing.
This below is the view of my bed now. 5 loads of wash on it. Today I had to do the “Find a Panty” game because the ones I unpacked where either dirty somewhere or in the pile. I found at least 8, so I will have that view (or worse) for a few more days. Do I feel ashamed about it? NO… I’d feel ashamed if I put that away to please someone else.
If you wonder about the pink thing on the right, it’s an epilator/trimmer, NOT an electric toothbrush.
I’m not showing the entire bedroom yet because I’m waiting for some items that I ordered online (the mirror for the ceiling, the black shades, the red lamps and the leopard bedsheets)… That was a joke!!! I’m not into animal print!!

You could put some little sticker-stars on your window that glow in the dark! (And a moon, too ๐ Maybe you could put your bed up on cinder blocks so you could see more out the window? I’m the “idea” kook, lol!

The man is getting a good taste of how you are building a life for yourself. This business of you take the kids because it gets hard to deal with is bullshit. Its time he learned after all these years. You have kids old enough to fold clothes, wash them and put on their bed. So why would you order black curtain, do you have something to hide. Don’t cover that view, it’s beautiful. You can treat yourself to nicer candles, one’s that look good and give off a great smell, even one works. I’m up to late but I slept most of day, real bad day. I need to order more MuMu’s because I’m on the way to doughboy state. It hurst so bad, it makes your skin to think, almost like it’s stretching it. Everything I touch leaves a bruise.

The freaking man pissed me off yesterday to a level that the payback will be legendary ๐
I’ll try leaving my kids clothes on their beds… Then probably I could make 6 pictures of beds with piles ๐
I’m not covering the view! I ordered some princess’s stuff (but I wanted the readers to think that I was a tigress (and I’m laughing so hard that I’ll pee in my pants).
Go ahead and order the MuMu’s!! I wish I could help more.

Crazy Laughing Ass Twin P
You have to save the peeing in pants stories, we haven’t finished poo stories and I have two vomit stories left. I am regimented at times and vomit, pee and poo stories is one of those times. How in the hell is princess stuff going to look like sexy in need tigress? I no it’s hard with five kids and your fun loving care free nature, you are in charge of the household, NOT THE MAN. The kids can play the two of you like a fiddle. The man doesn’t have set the rules in your house. Set rules for the kids, I know it’s hard but rememberer the nanny doesn’t come daily. Most can fold their clothes and put away. You’ll have to write offline on the legendary worthy piss off by the man. I went to bed at 5:00 am again. I can’t sleep with high levels of pain. The more dope I take, the more drunken and fall risk but pain hangs around. I slept till 12:30 today so the cycle continues. Luckily? When David’s head hits the bed, his out and in snore will. Last week someone house alarm was going off, no one called so at 3:30A I called. My curious mind took me out the front door down the street to see if I could see what house it might be. I had 911 on phone the whole time. I gave her the info on what house it was, she hung up on me. Probably saying this crazy women is walking the neighborhood at 3:30 while a crime might be talking place. I stayed on the front porch and the police didn’t rush out. David had no idea any of this happened. The curious kid has stayed with me but the possible outcomes are more severe. Before spiting watermelon seeds across the picnic table was far less risky.
I can’t wait to see this princess/tigress costume.

Stay in bed unless a hot fireman says you have to leave the house!! ๐
The man continued pissing me off today… He said: “Do you have any idea how hard it’s to come and go across the border every day and sometimes 4 times?? I’m doing all this for you… Can you see it?” I replied as cold as an iceberg: “No, you are doing all that because you signed an agreement and you HAVE to respect it”. He went silence for a whole minute… Sucker…
I can’t wait to have the bedroom ready… It’ll take some time, the man still has my closets in Cowshitland… (and after my reply today, I believe they’ll stay there longer :D… Thank goodness I don’t give a shit about not having everything in the exact place ๐
And it’s not a princess costume, is a theme ๐

The man is going what any loving father does for their children not placing blame of the mother. He agreed to a 50/50, he is now understanding what 50/50 means. It’s not the 50/50 he got away with while you lived together. My concern is he expressing this frustration to the kids. You have to slam that down if he is polluting the kids mind. That is continued abuse and you do not put up with that shit for one minute.

Indeed! Busted……again. ๐ I can’t speak to find the panty game, but I’m very well versed in find the missing sock game. It would appear that socks have some sort of artificial intelligence because they’re able to go into the washer as two, and come out as one.
