I am hiding out! Right this very moment I am hiding from the phone, Mae, my grandpa, I am in hiding lol. Today has been one of those days! One of those days I'm going to have to borrow like 20 bucks because it's only 938am and I NEED A DRINK!! Not want one, need one lol.

There is nothing like waking up to finding out your bank accounts are WAAAAAAAAAAY out of wack! Trying to find charges you know you made and figure out which account has the right amount of money in it. Oh hell, I'm going to have to pause and go look at one of the accounts again, because now I'm worried about the 18 bucks in gas I got the other day. Insert elevator music here.

Ok that was another mistake!!! Seriously.. I don't understand how hard it is to add and subtract funds! They need to figure out a better way with the authorizations and the actual pulling of funds! Now my account shows that I have 3 bucks, BUT still isn't showing the phone payment. But my gas is covered lol.

Then I go to another account and I'm racking my brain to figure out if I used it. Do I really have 20 bucks in there, or is it an illusion!!

Then my mother!! OOOO seriously!! My mother! She ordered almost a hundred bucks worth of Pampered Chef. I just need to pick the check up. I have no idea when the stuff is coming. She's having a day about money too! So she's off on well that's bull and this is bull and I'm like here's the number call!! I got a text and I got the info. Now she's ok. Except for the next flurry of calls I got from her!!

Mae...do I really need to say anymore? I don't know what the hell her problem is besides she's spoiled and thinks she is the boss. I put her ass back in bed for a lil bit because I was tired of a tantrum every 2 minutes. She knows the word No, she hears the word No, the word No is applied to her daily...still...she has a tantrum.

I was freakin done!!!! She had a timeout in bed, which I know isn't the "correct" way. BUT I sent her there, made her lay down, told her she could get up when she could get up in a better mood.

We had the counseling services here yesterday. I asked what she thought about ADD and she just kind of nodded and said Yeah it kind of looks like that. Ohhhh joy! So now to wait for a real diagnosis from professionals. BUT she is going to come and see about helping me and Mae.

It's Friday! It's not supposed to be this hard this early lol. I have laundry in the washer, Mae has been fed, and I have about 15 more minutes that I can hide out! I'm going to enjoy my 15 minutes and then I have to face the music lol.

Have a great weekend everyone. Dawn...I sure hope you get better soon! I can kind of sense your frustration.

There isn't much going on in our world. Just some things that I figure I better not talk about too much, you know that whole jinx factor lol. Still worried about money, and now that taxes are here, Ive realized...Even after taxes ill be broke.

I was getting a few thousand back, but this year i only made about 3 grand..yea i know big freakin difference in pay.

I had gotten excited about a room meet. Then after the excitment wore off and i THOUGHT about it. Realized that there was no way I can justify spending that kind of money on a trip. I want to be totally irresponsible with the money I might get. BUT when its not very much, bills have to be paid first. Which means, Maybe lol Ill have enough for a trip to Des Moines lol. Yay Des Moines lol.

Today I was disappointed by MamaNature. I was praying for school today lol. I was really really selfish and i think thats why it didnt happen lol. We were supposed to have a spa day, stress reliever at the school for the parents. Yea the weather turned nasty and we have a two hour delay which means...No school for Mae lol.

Im being flirted with a lot, but its sooo stupid. I think the dude thinks i just turned the net on for the first time. The rule is if hes flirting with you, hes flirting with 20 other people. DUH LOL. Then this guy from earlier posts decided to email me. WTH...seriously, and then!! LOL. And today i wake up to an email from another site. This one is one of those Adultish sites. Asking me why he hasnt seen me at the video store. Ummmm kinda scary, but kinda pissin me off lol. Why wait til now to say something to me lol.

Such is life lol. Like i said nothing going on with us right now. Though to be honest lol I really wouldnt mind finding someone to hang with lol as long as they're appropriate lol. Right now Im holding a secret about one of my best friends man, and i just cant bring myself to tell her what ive heard. I think I need to, but seriously...noone wants to hear the story I was told. Hopefully the phone call my friend made to the guy gets him to straighten up, if not...All i know is Im waiting till after the party in February to talk to my girl! I dont want to ruin something fun for her.

Yayyyy its a boring life, but im living it!

So remember that catalog I ordered the Christmas boxes out of ? Yea they sent me a new catalog today! Now I know that they don't know I have a girl named Katie. BUT Somehow I think someone tattled lol.



I always buy Valentines for the kids. My sisters, mine, and my brothers. I'm cool like that lol. I love WalMart at Valentines because they have tons of stuff kids love. Well this catalog is candy candy candy lol.



Im getting suckered into buying from them again!! I did't want to be pulled in but I sure was. Doesn't help that the name Katie is on a ton of the things lol. Right now my cell is blinking with a message from Katie. I had to text her to get her view on gummi bears.



I hate not having money and wanting to send gifts lol. Spending this money means we don't get a trip to the video store. But it's so worth it to see them smile because they got a present. I like giving gifts lol. I'm stupid like that lol.



Well back to the catalog and see what the verdict is on the GB's.

Ok checked the text...they are her fav no joke lol. That's what I got back. She isn't a little girl anymore, so I can't buy for her like I do the other kids. Eventually they will all be too old for it lol. BUT they have a tin of freakin gummi bears and I thought she liked them but you know how kids are. They get older and leave stuff behind. I love my girl...guess Im going to have to shower her in gummi bears lol

Heres to raining bears

Looking out my window this morning, my gripe was that I had to brush my car off. Then my gripe turned into...WTF!!

Looking out my window this morning, it looked like any other winter day. Cold and grey.

Bundled Mae up and threw my flip flops on for the 40 second drive to school.

Pulled up as two other parents pulled up.

Walked down the hall talking and ready to drop off kids. The Custodian stops us.

Didn't you see the news?

Hell no, why would I watch the news this morning. Nothing outside indicated to me that the weather was anything other than Iowa in January.

2 hour school delay! Ohhh joy! 2 hours for Mae means no school.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who tried to send their kid to school today. As we walked out the door another mom was pulling up.

Let me tell you, I wish I had a video camera then because it would be nice to show these kids later that they cried when school wasn't happening lol.

Heres to the fog clearing up, whereever it is!

Monday, January 18, 2010

I have said it before and I'll say it again! I want to be able to just bring baby after baby into the world. I want to not be selfish and stupid and (insert your word here) and just keep bringing kids into the world.

I love babies and kids. I would have a dozen of them, IF I COULD. Physically I am able to bring lots and lots of babies into this crazy world. I'm also able to produce enough milk, lol, to feed a small village. BUT

I don't have the means to support anymore kids. I am having a hard enough time as it is. Doesn't mean that I wouldn't love to have more kids. I just know enough to go to the doctor's every 3 months and bare a hip.

Where did this rant come from? It comes from the fact that my brother is going to have ANOTHER baby. He isn't even divorced from the whore who told him the kid was his. Turns out the kid isn't his. I saw the whore yesterday and fell out laughing. Did everything but point and laugh.

Anyways thats not the point. The point is my brother keeps having kids with people and then doesn't want to be responsible for them. Oh wait I hear someone mumbling what about you and Katie.

That situation is completely 100% different! I have done everything in my power to be there for Katie, and to provide what I can for Katie. I am being forced out of her life a day at a time by my sister. Unfortunatly for her, Some bonds can never be broken, only delayed!

Anyways..so my brother decides it's totaly over between him and the whore. He gets a new girlfriend. AND is very inappropriate with this new girl. He brings her to my moms house to introduce her and he's talking about 6 months down the road with her and he loves her. Blah Blah Blah! Like a week or two later, they broke up.

Thanksgiving comes...ANOTHER new girlfriend! We had hopes for this one. She goes to school, she is age appropriate. She looked and acted like she had her shit somewhat together.

Then at Christmas, I missed this one, but guess what? We're having a baby!! And expected everyone to be all happy. My mom said that she isn't going to get close to this baby either. She hates when the kids get taken away.

He has a son, who he sees, but it's drama city. He has a daughter from another whore, you can see her on girls gone wild screwing in a dumpster, who he has given his rights up to because he didn't want to fight anymore with the mom. And now the winner of them all:

The girlfriend wants him to get DIVORCED NOW because she doesn't want to have a baby with a married man. UM HELLO!! What the fuck do you think you just did? He's married and your pregnant. You ARE having a baby with a married man. Doesn't matter if he gets divorced now or not. You fucked a married man, even if seperated, and are pregnant. Do the math.

In a way I'm way jealous. Why can't I just go out and be irresponsible and have as many babies as I want. Why can't I just have sex with no thought to the consequences. Hell as it is I'm not even having sex but I keep getting the shot because maybe I'll have a moment, or drunken encounter and need it. BECAUSE I have some kind of conscience!

I guess this rant is all about how I love babies and have to play with everyone else's because I'm responsible. Can I please not be responsible?

Here's to everyone else knowing

Tuesday, January 12, 2010

I don't know what to do, I don't know where to go, I don't know! Yes it's another one of those days!

Mae was supposed to go visit her dad for a minute today but that's not happening. No, we aren't fighting. Mae is the issue! She decided that last night was the night to not sleep AGAIN!

I really don't know what her problem is! I don't know how to handle her. I know how not to handle her. Spanking does no good, slapping her hand does no good, yelling at her does no good. I just don't know what to do. Sometimes it works if you get right into her face, but that works for a minute.

The doctor has suggested she is add/adhd but they don't diagnose til later? I'm not sure. And then you add the having to put everything in her mouth still. I can't even go to the bathroom for longer then it takes to pee or she is into everything.

The only break I get is when she finally falls out for the night, OR it's Friday night and she is all her dad's! I know that he thinks I only use him for a sitter. Truth is, yes it's great to have him as a "sitter" but I NEED him to take her. I need the break to sleep. To turn off the mommy ear and to unwind.

Mae's behavior is enough that with a lessor person she would be one of the millions of abused children. Spanking her could easily turn into making a person feel better instead of being a punishment. Yelling at her has turned her into another generation of yellers. I can live with that because eventually you can fix it. BUT yelling at her has no effect.

She is sneeky. Used to be she would duckwalk to make sure noone saw her leave her room. Last night was a new one. She put herself up against the wall, face first, and like slinked along the wall.

What kind of child does this? I mean I already knew she was sneeky and manipulative, hell I got that self diagnonsense also from the DR. But I am really at my wits end! I don't know what to do.

The school told me though that she isn't retarded or autistic. Thats a good thing. Though I admit it would be nice to have a label for her. That way maybe I can find a way to parent her effectively.

I am tired of looking at RyderMae and telling her how angry I am at her. I can't yell or spank because they don't work, but to make me feel better I can look at Mae and say " Mommy is really angry with you right now" and then move on to the next thing.

It's a hard job, it's my job, and I'm doing it. I did call a place that does counseling and such. I am waiting for them to call me back and set up an appointment if we qualify.

And as I type this...Yes, Mae is now sleeping!!! Seriously! Now she sleeps?? God I hope this doesn't mean that we are up again all night. I don't think I can deal with that. At least this time though she stayed in her room, destroyed it, but didn't destroy anything of value.

I need help! I have reached out for the help I need. The next step after this place gets back to me is to call the Dr and see how you test for PICA. Mae will put in her mouth anything and everything. Edible or not. I threw a whole box of crayons away because I was tired of her eating the paper and trying to eat the crayons.

Heres to knowing you need help, asking for help. and the follow through.

Hey Dawn, it's story time!

So I'm minding my own business and I'm just floating around the net. Decide that I'd like to see if the lingerie place in town has a website. Find lots and lots of links that go no where. Then I find a yahoo thing. There is one review. ONE FREAKING REVIEW!! You are never going to guess which crazyass from my drama life was there lol.

Whole other website a couple days ago. I'm floating around, looking at things, and then the status's. Fuck me right there on top was the crazyass that contacted me about the kids dad. Oh hell!

The net is not big enough anymore lol. So there I am minding my own business when that ONE review is from the crazyass!!

WTF I'm telling you it's crazy weird. Hell there are people who I deleted a long long time ago and for some reason yahoo is asking me to connect with them. On facebook same thing. When I delete people I delete them the right way. All contact information is gone, thats what delete is for lol.

It makes me wonder what kind of crazy shit the universe has in store for me next.

Or maybe it's not me getting unlucky and its the kids dad lol. From the lil tidbit he told me about her the other day lol..i hope for his sake not lol.

Anyways..thats the strange in my world. Time to go back to hiding in my room from my mom and grandpa lol Mae's snoozin lol.

Tuesday, January 5, 2010

Let's just start out with...Yes, I am that kind of bitch! Yes, I'm begging my sister karma to be gentle with me for what I am going to blog about. I am going to blog about it and fully enjoy the situation as I laugh and go..thank you karma for working. Again, yes, I am this petty, small minded, rude, and HUMAN. After the Text..I'll own that for a moment!

As you well know I got that horrible text right before Christmas. Then Katie came up to visit because she was staying in Iowa until my mom and dad went to Missouri for New Years Eve.

Mom said that since she had spent the last couple with me that she was going to go to my sister's house. Sure no big deal to me lol. I can always find someone to party with lol. And I did!

And as I blogged we had a fabulous time. We ate, drank, and were merry. Noone died, noone got their ass beat, and it was a great time! In Iowa!

Things weren't so rosey in Missouri. To avoid another whole shit storm of drama, I didn't remove my sister from my facebook. You know that would have been the gossip and blah blah of the family. Wasn't doing it, nuh huh can't make me! I am sooooo very very glad that I didn't.

I get online whenever it was posted...I can't remember if it was the day after or the day after after. I'm facebooking around and a couple posts from the top...There It Is! My sister karma came to visit me, ok so maybe it wasn't karma, but whatever it was...I LAUGHED! Oh god, it just got better! I read one of the comments! Ohh I'm hurting my sista karma.

Her post was: Man o Man! i rang in the new year at the ER with Josh. Allergic reaction to nuts. Thanks for the advice Dr. S(thats our cousin, shes a nurse).

Ooooo I'm telling you I just died laughing! I couldn't believe it. Here she got her mother down for NYE and then her husband, who is allergic to some nuts, goes and has a reaction. The part I just read in the comments that made me laugh again was a comment my cousin made. It said too bad he didn't listen to me the first time.

That means those dumbass's sat around while he had an allergic reaction. Allergic reactions are serious, or can be. But hey I can't help stupid. Because if MY husband, who was ALLERGIC to nuts, was sitting around eating nuts that he was able to and whatever happened happened...Um I would think it was an AR.

With all the stuff that goes home about peanut allergies in the school, i think it should be common sense that you would look to that as the culprit. AND knowing he is already allergic, would automatically mean a trip to the ER.

So there you have it, I am that bitch! But after that text...I don't know.. you call it...karmic retribution or just a coincident??

**don't judge me to harshly lol*

I knew my mom would take my sister's side in the battle of the texts. Yea it's my fault I wasn't there at Christmas. It's my fault that the niece didn't see Mae. It's my fault, my fault, my fault. All because my sister feels bad she sent it.

She didn't mean she tells Katie I'm a fuck up, that she would have to tell her that we weren't going to be there. Um yea I call bullshit. You don't use those words and not have said SOMETHING! Whatever!

I know that it's not my fault. I told my mom today that the reason I wasn't there had NOTHING to do with OUR fight, it had EVERYTHING to do with the text. That there was no way I would be able to control my temper and not cause a scene. How the fuck would you feel if you got that kind of text.

I told my mom that my sister owes me a fucking apology. Yea I won't ever get that!

Seriously...Oh and now we are reinvited to go to the February party. Well jeez thanks, let me guess you want me to bring the chicken to the party now!

That's my dysfunctional family! Soooo now we are going to my mom's house this Friday because my hours changed at work on Friday. I'm waiting to go talk to my girl K at work and see if there is some drama around that because I made a comment to the boss in front of the girl I was to work with Friday nights friend. Yea well bring the fuckin drama on.

I only told the truth, that yes I have no problem working with the girl, I have a problem working with her on a Friday night. The last Friday night we worked together we struggled. I've been at my job over 6 months and the last time I struggled on a Friday was when I was still new. I'm sorry but on a Friday night I'd prefer not to struggle. Sooo let's see if there is drama when I get to work. I like the girl, I just want to work a Friday with someone who knows wtf they are doing. Hell I'd even work with the other new girl because she at least has a clue and is progressing in her job the way you should.

It's not a hard job to slice meat/cheese, weigh them, and put stuff on them. But this girl hasn't even retained the fact that a half one meat sub gets 3 ounces of meat and a half 2 meat sub gets 1 1/2 ounces of each meat. We have subs going out that are halves with 7 ounces of meat on them. Hell we have an Italian sub that should have about 12 pieces of meat on it going out with 4 slices. Seriously, I'm not trying to start shit, I just want a smooth Friday.

Even if it is because of drama, that's ok because that means more tip money on Friday!

There you have it the long and short of it. Oh yea and the other day I did right by my kid's dad. So I should be square with my sista Karma!

New Year's Eve...A Long One

She is her mother's daughter lol. Mae partied like it was 1999! We had a great NYE party, even though Mae came away with battle scars. Not that battle scars from parties are something new to the majority of the party lol. This blog may jump around a bit, just letting you know lol.

Mae ended up with a very strange looking rug burn on her face(This was at the party). It's almost a perfect circle. I have no idea how exactly she got it. But all I can think is..It's all fun and games till someone pokes an eye out. My friend's kids "rough house". They have been rough housing since they were littler then Mae. This is obviously all new to Mae and great fun. So much fun that she joined in and has the battle wounds to prove it. After I call the kids dad to tell him to not freak out, not 5 minutes after I was calling him again. The minute I got off the phone with him(this was NY Day morning)

I had to call him right back. I just bought her a slinkyish scarf because my friend's daughter had one and well Mae wanted one lol. Well as she was running out the door...BANG..right into the friggin door. GREAT!! Just what we need more bruises. THEN THEN THEN!!!! Not 45 seconds later as she tears out of the room...she hits the patch of whatever their computer chair sits on and SLAMS straight into the corner of the fucking computer desk.

I had to call him again! Ya know isn't it just my luck that the one time I decide to have more than a couple drinks with Mae, she wants to kill herself. Luckily for me the bruise to the face happened early in the evening and then the morning brought new slams and crashes lol. This is why I don't have more than a drink or two at dinner out with Mae. She is just a handful!

Did I mention that we did a family style NYE Party? Probably not, but that's what we did. We had my friend's 2 kids there, Mae was there, my friend's mom was there, and unfortunately the ex was there; later another friend stopped over right before midnight. I thought it was pretty cool that he chose to ring it in with us.

We got there at the time I said we would and there wasn't anyone home. I was like ahh man and Mae was ready to get out and party. All day long I had been telling her we were going to a party. We were going to dance and have fun. She was ready! I made a phone call and was like um where's everyone at. I had been told someone would definitly be there at 6, it was 6 noone there lol. I unloaded the car, my god its a chore packing for overnight lol, and Mae and I sat in the car waiting.

It was a great party! My friend's had picked up party favors for the kids, kiddie champagne, happy new year glow tiaras, and we had FOOD! I made a HUGE crockpot full of hamburger cheese dip with salsa in it. We managed to eat half of it that night and they killed it the next lol. We had bbq lil smokies, pizza, and of course we had Corona and hidden in the snowbank a bottle!

My girlfriend T's mom doesn't drink. She's on medication, diabetic, had heart surgery; basically she's been falling apart since like 1984. BUT she drank almost 3 lil glasses of Corona with all of us. We got her, she's not a small woman and has a hard time standing for awhile, up and playing darts with us. It was great! We went to take a smoke break and a dart break, when we came up my friend's mom was still playing darts! I have the pictures to prove it! We think she may have been feeling it the next day because she was kind of snippy with my friend when she called lol.

The kids were drinker drinkers! Man if the adults would have been hitting it like those kids, it wouldn't have been pretty. Mae had to have a lime in her "champagne" and went around "Cheersing" people. We had music going and we did some house dancing. Then of course Mae was trying to get everyone to dance with her.

To be perfectly honest, it was really really strange for me. I truly do not drink with Mae around. I will have at most 2 drinks at a dinner out. Even at my mom's house I limit it. I just don't do it. Many reasons and I'm proud to say that I didn't get anywhere near what a normal weekend party tends to be. I maintained control of myself, still had a great time, just didn't have a huge amount of alcohol. Which is a great thing in itself, but is probably what saved my ex from getting his ass whupped by me!

Nobody was driving home that night. It just wasn't happening. We did decide that we wanted to go across the street basically and have at least one drink. We had been with the kids all night and by about 1 it was a good time to go. My friend's(guy K and girl T are both my friends but they are my friends seperate from their relationship which I facilitated and which produced the girl C lol) kids (friend T's) A who is 14 and C who is 11 were going to keep an eye on Mae while we went and came back quick.

A is Mae's buddy. That's her friend, her pal, I kind of think he's like a brother to her in her eyes. She adores him. Hell ask the kid's dad lol he's heard A tales lol. He is capable of keeping an eye on Mae because he does it at my house with his mom. A was going to keep an eye on Mae and we would be back. It was 1 am we weren't going out at 6 lol. The EX decided to throw a fucking fit. For some reason his drunk ass ASSUMED that he was watching ALL the kids. He doesn't watch the kids. The kids are old enough to watch themselves. Mae is the only one who isn't. I don't take Mae over there often because I'm over there mostly on the weekend lol. AND I would never EVER EVER ask my Ex to keep an eye on my kid. It's not ever happening.

He was being all drunk and saying stupid shit and I lost it. I have been putting up with his ass for a couple months now. I never should have tried to be nice to him and include him in our party fun. Now I'm not going to say another word to his ass, unless there is no way out of it. I was uncomfortable in my friends home. I didn't know if I could trust Mae to be there. In the end the kids did stay home, but we were gone for one drink and we came back. We weren't going to the bar to be at the bar. We went to do something adults only for a minute. Anyways I'm irritating myself just thinking about it again lol. *this may become a bash Ex blog lol

Earlier in the night I told a story about not turning Freebird. It was only a story, it wasn't something I asked for or expected. It was just a freaking half joke. The story I told was funny. 18 yr old Girl at work turns Freebird on me, I say woah you don't turn Freebird, Girl says Whats a Freebird, I school her in not turning Freebird and that its just one of those songs lol. The song is so damn long though lol that I was like look you can turn it now. We both dont like Justin Bieber and when she turned Freebird that kid was on lol. It was a funny story, and it was just that. Well after we got back from the bar the Ex, deliberatly, plays Freebird and announces in his drunk ass voice.... By order of Heather this can not be changed...blah blah. OMG I held my tongue. I did not say a word, I made myself just enjoy the song...Even though I wasn't in a Freebird mood and would have never played that.

Sleeping arrangements brought out another fucking issue with the Ex. He is the roommate at my friend's house. He has one of the bedrooms and my friend sleeps in the living room. C has her own room. Mae was not going to go to bed quietly lol it just wasn't going to happen. We figured out the best way to do it was to have C sleep in her bed and Mae and A be on the floor on the pile of blankets. Mae had 3 of her own blankets on top of her and A had his own blankets and they shared one big comforter. There was NOTHING wrong with that. Nothing sick, perverted or unhealthy. Unless your a drunk asshole! The Ex looked at A and said i didnt know you were that kind of freak.

WTF!!! A is a good boy. C is a good girl. Mae is a terror lol. BUT they are all kids. I have known both of my friend since freshman year in highschool's kids since before birth! I have been around these kids their whole lives. There has NEVER been ANYTHING that could ever be said about these kids that you wouldn't have said about your own! I had to grab T and go to the smoking lounge! Well after the next part! The Ex is also like A you can sleep upstairs in my room if you want instead of with all the girls. LIKE THATS ANY LESS CREEPY!!! Drunk or not...it makes me wonder! It makes me glad that Katie was never alone with him. My Ex has issues in his family. My friend's and my family DONT! Even drunk why would you say that shit. Why would you say that shit with all the parents there.

Why would you want to turn something that was innocent into something to be questioned and seen as possibly dirty? I held my tongue. I went and smoked, and decided I wasnt speaking to him again. He has issues with me. ALOT OF ISSUES! I never should have tried to include him, I never should have tried to be friendly. I don't know why he does, but I do know that after 14+ years if your not over it, the problem is not mine!!!

THE BEST part of the evening though was what I had planned as a suprise. Oh it turned out better then I thought lol. My Uncle bought me a bottle of Ketel One vodka. Woo happy new year me! Well since I had Mae I wasn't going to break it out til later at night. That way I wouldn't drink it like a Maefree night. So I figured I'd wait til like 11pm to bring it out. I would go outside and come back with drinks and be like look what I found outside. Well we were down in the smoking lounge and K was like we need a drink. Something different then the Corona we had. Well most of the night we had been fucking with him and he knew there was a surprise secret. Ohh he wanted to know what it was.

So were sitting downstairs and I tell him, well if you go outside and the passenger side front bumper is a snowbank. In that snowbank is a bottle. Go out and get it. He wouldn't do it! He really thought I was lying lol. He didn't want to get Ha Ha'd. T and I were laughing so hard. He tried to get A to go outside. Seriously it was in the negative numbers...the kiddos weren't going out lol. Finally I got up and said ok and went to get it. I came back in the house and A goes, that was really in the snowbank. I was like yea..I'm not the liar lol why did you think I was lol.

Maaaan K was floored. He really truly thought I was screwing with him lol. It was a great laugh and it guarentees that I get to Ha Ha him since he accused me of it lol. I have hidden things in strange places before, and he couldn't find the spots lol. I don't know why he would think I was kidding lol. He hadn't ever had KO before and hadn't heard of it. He liked it though lol. We were really good too. I have like half a bottle left if not a tick more. That was 3 people having drinks off it. I'm telling you we were good!

At 11 we did the Eastern Ball drop. Had our party hats on, and sprayed the confetti everywhere lol. Kissed my Mae and clinked glasses. We danced some more. Ate some more lol. Drank a lil bit more.It was 3 am by the time we all went to bed. We had the kids laying down and Mae was the one still trying to party lol. Finally K, who was sleeping on the floor with T; and me on a sleeping bag next to them in the living room, got up and had to TELL Mae to go to bed because it was almost 3 am lol.

Ohh it was a good party. Then in the morning, before during and after the bumps lol, we had french toast, bacon, the adults had mimosa's. Mae was up just before 9 and everyone was up by 930. We made it home about 2 and by 230 Mae was passed back out in bed lol. That girl had a big night.

Hope that everyone had as great a time as I did with family for the ringing in of the new year.

*Sorry it was so long lol it was a big Party lol
