I work at the bestest place for a fat girl! I make subs. NO i dont work at subway, thats the bad place. I work at the bestest sub shop in town. We have huge subs. Like seriously as big a heiffer as i am, a half sub is enough to make my stomach literally burst.

Im currently enjoying my big whoppin #26. Mmmmmm sooo good! Provolone cheese, proscitini, deli ham, turkey, roast beef....mmmmm...topped off with tomato, lettuce, mayo, salt, pepper, and oregano. MMMM oh god its soo fucking good. Ill have to remember to take a picture sometime, we have the bad place BEAT! And for not much more money.

We slice everything in the store, and nothing is pre cut, unless you order a party sub.

Thats the best part of the night, my free half sub. Mmmm it makes trying to slice my fingers off worth it. BTW i have all my fingers lol.

Though tonight kind of turned into...WHY THE FUCK ARE MEN SO STUPID! Why are they so insecure. Why do they need their ex's to validate them. Why are men so whiny and just stupid.

Hell its not even the asshole that im talking about right now, though the asshole falls into all that.

I was talking with a friend and it all comes down to GAWD!

I dont know, maybe this is why i dont want a relationship now too. I mean i have enough trouble keeping my Mae happy and healthy. I dont have time to tell a man he did a good job. What a good boy you are.

Im not stroking anyones ego. Well, i do, but not some stupid man! Thankfully there are good men out there. Most of them arent in my life lol, but ive met them, some are my family, and ive seen it. So i hold hope for man.

Though the stupid ones really fuck it up for them. I dont know, not really a rant just one of those things. Im tired and im on my way to full.

Mmmmm a #26 my fav!
Mae is excited! I dont know though if she realizes that mama has to go to work lol. Because of the buggies we are banned from daycare for a few days and i had to find someone to watch my girl. So i did what thousands of women before me and thousands of women after me will do...I called one of my best friends.

I was like hey what are you doing friday, then it changed to today. You could hear the leariness in her voice lol. You know its never a good thing when your friends call you up out of the blue and want to know what your doing lol.

I told her what i needed and why. Of course that lead us to talk about back in the day. Yea back in the day we picked nits too. God did we pick nits. Sadly none of us were boys and had to pick. Her oldest was lucky he just got a buzz cut lol.

But shes coming over and shes bringing her son Aric with. Mae Mae loves her some Aric! I mean she totally loves that boy. We dont hang out much but when we do, god help Aric. Remember my nephew harley getting stuck with kids, well Aric gets stuck with Mae, BY CHOICE lol.

If were at a baseball game he takes Mae looking for Bucky. At the carnival he took her on rides. And now shes all gaga because Arics coming Arics coming.

Its good to have friends who will come to your rescue. I dont know what i would do without my good friends. LOL now lets see if Tammy can get Mae to eat supper and even go to bed lol.
Im trying to figure out what to do with my Saturday afternoon. I havnt checked with my friends but Friday paychecks will most likely be toast by the time i get off work Saturday. So i guess its going to come down to whos having a bonfire and if my meager contribution to the party is acceptable, which it will be lol.

Im looking forward to my time alone. It seems like it goes so fast. But then again when you have been picking nits out of hair for what 3 or 4 days now, its time for a mommy break. Sunday Mae is going to be hating her mama again, because it will be back to picking at her head.

She really really hates it, but damn it, it has to be done. A mama's job is never done nor is it easy. You just keep doing what you can. But let me tell you what, im sick sick sick of nits! im tired of having to grab her and 5 minutes at a time go through her head.

Shes tired of mama grabbing her and going through her head. It just sucks and its a process that drives everyone crazy. Poor grandpa hates hearing her cry and only so much candy will bribe her into sitting still. Yes i know bribery is bad, but oh friggin well!

Maybe its time i start looking for a man so i can have help with the nit digging lol. Oh wait lol thats not a good reason to go man hunting. Damn, and i thought maybe i was getting a break lol.

Who knows, i just know that im tired of picking picking picking and im ready to have a few hours that are totally mine mine mine!

Fourth of July at the lake was rainy! It was cool, and i spent a lot of the day with a wet backside. But it was a good time! When you go to my moms house for the 4th your asked to contribute food. She does the enchaladas and everyone else is supposed to bring something.

This year since i was taking a friend, we went in on WalMarts BBQ Chicken Chunks. They are a real crowd pleaser and a little pricey. But when you split the cost its managable. Well this year i spoke up and made mention of bringing chicken mole. Well then that sparked the we need to have fideo, mexican spaghetti, because you have to have it lol.

Well i decided that this year i would try my hand at making the fideo. The aunts wont be around forever, so we all need to learn to make the good stuff.

Friday night my friend came over and we proceeded to cook our ass's off. While she was peeling, slicing, and mixing the stuff for deviled eggs. I was getting my first clue as to how much work goes into making fideo.

The actual mixing of the ingredients was the easy part. The hard part was frying up the fideo first. Fideo comes either loose, broken up like spaghetti. Or it comes coiled up in nests. We used a combination. Then the next day i found out why my recipe had me sending Brigitte to the store for more chicken broth. Because i didnt know the difference between nests and packages. I bought 8 packages, but what i really needed was only 4 because 2 nests come in a package. We overcame that!

My grandpa supervised a little bit, but the point was for me to make it. When i started he came in and told me more oil. I added more. He said more. I added more. He said dump that in and cover it. What he meant was to basically deep fry it. BUT dont get it too brown. The first couple nests came out pretty dark lol. But in the end it turned out really really good and the family loved it.

Chicken mole we cheat on. We buy the jarred mole. Its good stuff man! Easy peasy until you add the mole. That stuff is so clumpy and thick. I ended up putting a bit to much mole in and had to scoop some chunks out. By the time it got around to being put on the buffet the Joliet side of the family was in heaven. My cousin Chrissy and her man Jerry were in heaven. They had had some at a restraunt not long ago and it was crap. But they all ate the shit out of my mole.

So it looks like i will be making mole and fideo lol.

The fireworks this year really kind of sucked. Normally the fireworks at the lake are pretty awesome. This year i dont know what happened, but hell it didnt matter because by the time the fireworks were going on , id gained 10lbs and had heartburn like noones business lol.

My friends and i were able to sneek away a couple times and once it was all of us because my cousins watched the littlest kid for us. FOR LIKE 15 MINUTES! We all know to watch our own kids, but its kind of one of those things at my moms, if your sneeking off for 15 minutes, theres always someone to say sure ill keep an eye on the kiddos. BUT you come back right away for your kiddie and take your duties back.

We were sitting by the fire after the fireworks and it seems like the drunkies lol got a good idea to put 5 adults on a paddle boat. That soooo didnt work out. Next thing i know my uncle is back dripping wet, my aunt is wet, the boys are wet, and one iphone was pretty much toast! Oh they were funny funny people.

I ended up with some really wicked heartburn so i didnt drink as much as i would have liked. Everyone else drank for me lol. I swear i made about 8 drinks and only got 4 because of having to get up and do stuff. But hey at least i didnt fall in the lake and ruin my phone lol.

The next day was absolutly gorgeous. I actually lost track of the time and when i looked at the clock we only had an hour before we had to leave or else id have been late picking up the Mae.

Sunday i took Brigittes kids in the lake right away because they were itching to get in. It was fun playing with them, but ya know sand and girls isnt pretty lol.

The strangest thing of all though was that brigittes 2 lil white kids LOVED the mexican sausage(chodeso, thats my phonetic spelling thats wrong lol) and eggs. Her little girl was crying because noone would put some more on her plate lol. We fixed her right up. Her little boy was all about it too. Of course there wasnt anymore by the time they were ready for more. But Brigitte will be making it for them lol.

My 4th was pretty decent. I laughed, ate, drank, had a pretty good time! I hope everyone else had a good one.

Seeee im not all doom and gloom lol, i just get off on a tangent sometimes!
Whats a family get together without family drama? Not my family get together lol. While the drill is No drama at my moms house, some how there always is. I was not a drama starter, though i think for a minute my mom thought thats what i was trying for. Until she heard it from everyone else, even people who arent family family.

First bit of drama was concerning my sister. She is and can be a first class bitch. I have my own issues with her, but since she wasnt there i was happy camping. I didnt have to see her, hear her, or have to guess who Katie was calling mom. It was also my sisters birthday the day before, and shes knocked up in the hospital with noone. So im going to go maybe that gives her an excuse for her bullshit. Ok so it doesnt i was trying to be nice.

My mom never asked that the her 2 kids, yes thats right she has 2 kids with a 3rd on the way(someone needs to set her straight on that one) to come to the 4th of july party. Shes not stupid, there wouldnt have been anyone to watch them. When your at my moms house your supposed to watch your own kids.

Thats one of the reasons i dont have as good a time as the rest of them. Im usually busy watching Mae. Which i would have been doing but the asshole is so good about reading my blogs, the asshole fucked up and called on the day i wasnt going to send her. My mom again told me to send her there, thank you mommy! But thats the rule, you watch your own kids. Remember i said that because it comes into play later.

My mom did ask that the kids come sunday when everyone had gone home. Well after my mom n dad had watched these kids the last few weeks off and on, NOW my mom couldnt be trusted to watch them. She might drink, be hungover, Jerry might fall into someone and have to apologize. The list was bogus and then they used the line they use on me EVERY FUCKING TIME I TRY TO SEE KATIE....Theres a church thing and we dont want them to miss it. What a crock of shit. So mom was devastated and hurt. She hung up with them to let them discuss it because honestly the decision wasnt a hard one.

My mom would die before her actions did something to hurt those kids. Its just a fact. So they call and say well wed rather them be there. So its not ok to be at her house but its ok for her to drive them almost 5 hours when she has issues with driving that makes her uncomfortable even driving Mae an hour to her house.

It was all a bunch of bullshit. Then my sister called and said she had a bad night because of it. I told my mom her guilt over making the wrong decision wasnt her problem. They made their decision and it was supposedly the right one for them, so why was there any issue for them? Because they are lying manipulative and just stupid.

Though because of this i did find out something i didnt know before. My mom thinks that Brianne is in the wrong for keeping katie from me, and not letting me have more contact with her. Its good to know all my screaming ranting and sobbing hasnt been for nothing. I really thought that i was the only one who felt that way about the situation. Now she didnt say it to me but she did say it to one of my best friends, and she doesnt need to lie to me.

So that was drama number 1, drama number 2 also involves a sibling. My brother married an 18 year old and i think shes 19 now. They have a baby named Michael, but um that baby is probably not his, but he loved the tramp, err girl and wanted her and so he got her.

My brother also has 2 other kids. Harley David is either 12 going on 13 or 13 going on 14, and is very sweet and has had a rough go of it. He had to deal with drama from his dads daughters mama. It was bullshit pure and simple. And i cant stand when a parent stoops to that level. Especially when the behavior implied has never once been seen on any other occasion.

Brittny and Brian dont watch Michael. Michael spent the majority of the time in the pack n play. It was so bad at one part Jerry , who isnt family family, said he couldnt take it anymore. He couldnt watch this boy be ignored. He picked him up. Robbie who is someone elses son and is about 10 maybe, was outside PICKING BUGS off Michael.

To make things even worse, they grounded Harley for taking a golf cart ride that my Dad had said was ok to go on, hell my dad tossed them the keys. Ok so i get maybe you would get a talking to for just running off. BUT there are a different set of rules at grandma and grandpas! If either of them say ok, well then its ok!

I came inside upstairs for something and there was Harley on the couch by Michaels playpen, which he was in, looking like he was going to cry. I love my nephew Harley, he always gives his aunt heather hugs and talks to me. So i asked him what was wrong and why was he sitting inside.

All the other kids were outside having a good time, even if it was raining. He told me he got grounded because of the golfcart and i asked how long he had to be there. His answer was until his dad was done being mad at him.

WTF?? But oh it gets better! Later me and brigitte are upstairs and we would like a little adult time, so we have to figure out what to do with her kids. Her son was asleep on the couch so it wasnt a big deal to sneek away for a minute. But her daughter was running around. My cousins were sitting in the living room and we got to talking for a minute.

We commented on how michael was stuck in that playpen all day and his mom n dad were out on the boat, in the lake, talking to family, doing whatever the hell they wanted. OMG you would have thought i was the queen or something. Tiff gets up and hollars give me some up top girl. Melissa and Tiff had been inside all day because theres a 7 month old baby who couldnt go outside in the yuck. Being good mamas. But they had been inside all afternoon and that baby was up there too, in his pack n play.

Then it comes out while we are all 4 talking that my brother had the nerve to look at them, laugh, smile and say...This is whats great about older kids, they can watch the younger ones. WTF? your job is to watch the kids, its not your kids job.

I told my mom what was going on the next day or maybe it was that day. hell i dont know its all the same because my mom was like what? Brigitte told her no Maggie, i was there thats what was said thats what happened.

Later i found out that harley asked my brother if he was good did what he was supposed to could he go tubing. My brother said "We will see, it depends on how good you take care of Michael", now that was heard by my cousin Chrissy! She was there, she told my mom. We have no reason to try to start bullshit because we all just want to have a good time!

Sunday poor Harley was in trouble AGAIN! Because he went for a tube ride with Grandpa Rex and the cousins. This time fucking Brittny told him no. We havnt figured out why but we all assume its because she wanted him to watch Michael so she could go. Hell Sunday was gorgeous. The sun was out it was hot and they proved again what crap parents they are.

They had michael out in the water and she yells up hey baby michaels starting to burn. Do they bring the baby up out of the water and under a tent? Hell no they just put more sunscreen on him and say Its the 90 proof blah blah. Well if your smart and have read anything in the last couple years. You know that anything really over 35 isnt anything but packaging to get you to buy it. Sunscreen has to block both of the rays and over 35 isnt any better. Babies when they start to burn need to be brought back inside not slathered with more sunscreen.

I tell you i dont understand some parents. Here i am with all my issues, but im doing my best. I have to not have fun because i chose to have a baby. Its what you do. Hell i know that Melissa would have loved to have been outside with everyone, having a drink, playing in the water, on the pontoon. But she has a 7 month old baby! Shes a good mama and knows what her responsibilities and priorities are.

Your priorities arent running around looking like your 8 months pregnant with horrible stretch marks, booty shorts, oiling up your flab and then coming to my mom with all your stuff hung out asking what do you think of my tan. You know what my mother said....She has no couth and i wasnt impressed.

But never fear i was a bitch! It was my turn to do clean up in the kitchen, and i got the sucky shift lol, crockpots from the night before and breakfast pans lol. As i was doing the dishes i realized i couldnt do dishes and dry them, id still be there. Well Miss Brittny who loves to send Harley in to do her share of helping didnt get out of it. I hollered and hollered out the screen porch till finally my brother had to make her answer me. Before she made it up the stairs my other cousin Andrea was like what if she sends harley, i told her id send the boy back out and send her bitch ass up.

Needless to say she wasnt happy about being drug out of the lake to dry and put away dishes. But damn it we all have to pitch in and i saw everyone else work but her. Hell i poured maybe 8 drinks and i think i got 4 of them because i was working.

My family is tolerant to a point, but when you fuck up, you fuck up. Just ask the asshole, hes not allowed down there anymore, and my sister in law is working her way to not being allowed down.

Ahhh family drama...dont you just love it (yes that was sarcasm lol)

The mystery is solved! I know where the head lice came from. The mexican family at daycare brought it in.

All three of the kids had them suckers BAD. It explains though why Mae doesnt have any bugs in her hair. She picked one up at daycare and it fell off somewhere else.

While thats a really good thing, it also means i have my work cut out for me. Last night i did the chemical treatment of her hair. Then spent going on three hours working through her hair. Let me tell you that was a very very fun thing.

Today we did the mayo, ive decided though im only doing that today. Im going to keep picking through her hair and then thursday if i need to mayo her again. That girl looked like she was getting a jeri curl done lol. She did very well with the cap on for 6 hours! She only pulled it off a couple times and at the end she started messing with it.

Then it was time for more washing and picking. Mae already hates her hair messed with! She is really not a happy camper. Though im being bad mama and bribing the shit out of her with candy. Last night grandpa stayed home and gave her candy and moved lights for me.

Its amazing what just that little bit of help does. Im glad he changed his plans to stay home with us. Im 100% sure he didnt want to be home last night!

My daycare provider is pissed with the parents. I dont know how you dont know your kid is infected. I dont know how you dont check when you see that itch. Because i know those kids had to be itching. How hard is it to be a good parent and do your job and make sure your not fucking up other parents lives.

Im a good mama and im tired....Ahhh the way life should be.
My family and friends agree with me that we dont know what to do about the asshole. The asshole continually uses the child as a weapon to push my buttons. The asshole obviously doesnt truly care about her. The asshole is using her in his sick mind games, twisted ways, and his deciet of himself.

We all have no idea what to do. The asshole is incapable of change. The asshole is incapable of learning. The asshole is incapable of telling the truth. The list of things this asshole has done and continues to do is long.

Together we can not figure out what to do about the asshole. Mae needs that tie. I get it, i may not be real happy with what comes from it, but i get it. Maes needs come first.

Choices have to be made. My choice is to blog and vent all the bad things that the asshole puts me through. My choice is to call the asshole what the asshole is, an asshole. My choice is that even though it kills me, i will use the asshole as the asshole has used me.

I will use the asshole to watch Mae. I will use the asshole for a babysitter. I will use the asshole for what the asshole is supposed to be there for; to help parent the child.

Sadly it wasnt the asshole who told me that she scraped her arm on the sidewalk. No it was the child herself. Mae was in her bed this morning and saying she hurt. I asked her what hurt her and she said my arm. I said what happened to your arm. I fall and crash. I asked her where at, she said the sidewalk.

From the mouth of a 3 yr old i find out what happened to her. The asshole couldnt do the right thing and tell me what happened. I know the asshole knows what happened because the asshole was supposed to be in charge.

I dont know what to do. I dont know what to think. I do know what to blog because its how i feel. Im going to keep on blogging and im going to know that the asshole has been lying to me not only from the begining, but the middle, the end, and even the after. What i dont understand is why the asshole has always and now feels the need to lie to me. Everyone knows that you get in less trouble or arguements if your honest.

I guess im just going to have to deal with the fact that the asshole has nothing better to do then push my buttons. What a sad sad life it must be when the only thing your good at or can do consistently is push someone elses buttons.

Le Sigh....Saturday will be here before i know it and ill have to let the asshole have her, lets hope she comes back in one piece. I hate that i had to start documenting her condition going to and coming from.
