Watch the watermelon grow

Thursday Thirteen #2

Thirteen Etiquette Lessons from the In-Laws 1. A proper response to a pregnancy announcement is "I oughta smack you" 2. When you've given the gift of clothing to a relative. If the clothing does not fit person at time of gift giving, it is okay to ask for it back, so you can return it for your money back. 3. When inviting family over for dinner. Be sure to serve something that you know one person cannot eat due to allergies. So they can watch everyone else enjoy a meal. 4. Rules only apply to those who wish to follow them, unless they are directly told otherwise by an older relative. In other words, The older you are the more you get away with. 5. Grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins, etc all have "rights" to every child born into the family. 6. One Thank you card is never enough. You must offer up your firstborn or something equally valuable to show proper sincere thanks. 7. It is perfectly acceptable to choose one grandchild over another and display said choice in front of the family. Especially at BIG gatherings. 8. It is okay to change all your wedding plans to 100% copy someone elses and then say Oh I didn't realize this was your theme. Even though your wedding isn't a full year later. 9. When visiting a relative in the hospital. It is encouraged to piss of the relatives nursing staff. Better to do this on the early days of the hospital stay, so the patient can deal with the nurses for the rest of the stay. 10. Everyone's personal lives are a spectator sport. And it is appropriate to ask Personal questions and make requests on them. Most importantly things like delivery room attendance. 11. Always push the issue. Eventually you will get a YES out of the person if you are persistant (read annoying) enough. 12. Talk through the children as if their parents do not exist. For example. Say to 2 year old great grandchild. "Tell grandma to bring you to my house on sunday" Obviously this is a better way than simply asking the parents. 13. Offer your help simply so you can hold it over the other person's head forever. But make it no strings attached help at the time of the offer. Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1.

A post for Jaci...

Lookie what we picked up on our travels today. Miss Caity couldn't wait to show it off. :) She's under the mistaken impression its hers since I let her carry it.





There were none at all at Books A Million, but we snagged the last copy at Walden's in the mall. Special trip out to the mall and everything. :)

Oh Lookie

Its Watermelon.

My husband is just brilliant. Lemme tell ya.

So DH went out of town on a business trip last week. He was gone until friday. NO biggie, I stayed at someone elses house with DD, to make things easier for me (our heat source is a fireplace and it is not easy for me to bring in wood, start fire, etc with just me and the toddler)

I come home friday afternoon to find that the pipe going to teh washing machine apparantly froze and burst (it was supposed to have been turned off. *looks at DH*) so I call my grandfather to come over and get the water shut off, before it turns into an even bigger mess.

DH doesn't get home until late friday night (11-12 ish) so I send DD to her grandma's for the night, so I can attempt to clean up some of the mess so it doesn't freeze again to make ice.

DH goes to fix it and decides he can make it easier to use and less likely to freeze/burst again, all he has to do is reroute it blah blah blah.

So its now Tuesday of this week (I haven't washed since wed. of last week) and he rigs up his new super easy pipe system. Great

So Wednesday evening I start a load of clothes

WATER Leaking everywhere, out of washer, our of pipes.

DH says oh I know whats wrong. I'll fix it tom.

THursday--no fix

Friday--no fix

Saturday--make trip to Sutherlands (similar ot lowes) and get new hoses for washer, etc. DH works on pipes for 1.5 hours. Says okay its ready to go.

YAY Laundry time because its really piling up now.

Boo--- THE RINSE CYCLE DOESN"T WORK

Sunday--I have a washing machine with no rinse cycle still. DH in all his geniousness cannot figure out what the problem is.

*sigh*

Looks like I'll be making a trip to the laundry mat this week. WooHoo.

WHy do men insist they know better and try to "fix" things?

all he had to do was replace one little small pvc pipe. *sigh*

2006 Holiday Edition of Getting to Know Your Friends

2006 Holiday Edition of Getting to Know Your Friends

Your Name: Kris

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
Hot Chocolate of course. With lots of whipped cream.


2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
A little of both. The big item(s) are put together and just set under the tree. Smaller things are wrapped in a special wrapping paper.



3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
Colored of course.


4. Do you hang mistletoe?
Nope. Don't need to tempt the little one with something else.

Your Brain is 60% Female, 40% Male

Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve

What Gender Is Your Brain?

From the Lovely Miss Jen

You Are Vixen

Sexy and sultry, you're the one all the other reindeer dream about. Why You're Naughty: That fur pulling spat you got into with Dancer over Santa. Why You're Nice: Because even when you're nice, you're still delightfully naughty!

Which of Santa's Reindeer Are You?

Meet Isabella

JJ says and I quote "I'm cursed with girls"

Following A trend set 3 years ago today........

Baby is a GIRL!


We found out Caitlyn was a girl on 10/27/03

And

Today we found out today 10/27/06, We're having another Girl!

The "Universe is against Kris" Weekend

Lets see. Where to start....

There's the fact that both C and I have colds and are uber snotty.

Then arriving home friday afternoon to NO EFFIN WATER. Only to find out it was cut off by accident and we cannot get it back until Monday. That's right. 4 days without water.

Then waking up Saturday morning to a phone call from my dad who informs me that my step-mother is dead. I don't get many details because he has other calls to make and has to go pick up the step-brother from the airport, so they can make funeral arrangements etc.

Now don't get me wrong here, but I'm still pondering how exactly to feel about her death.

Throw in the drama about my step-grandmother not attending my grandfather's sister's funeral last week and my mothers hatred over it.

And I've had one helluva Effin wonderful weekend.

Thanks to my lovelies

My mind is off all the latest drama revolving me.

And all because of this chat:

Next appointment 10/27.

Dirty, violent and crazy all together.

Jen and I have a new word as Jen discussed on Tempted the other day.

It's funny that Jen described the word as Dirty, violent and crazy all together.

Because that is in fact what we are when we get together (Jen, Jill &I)! We are dirty, kinda hard not to be when we're all perverted. (Who said that?!) We are violent, especially when it comes to the men in our lives, Hey they deserve it! Most of the time. And we are Crazy--after all Normal is overrated.

Right GIRLS???



P.S. I'm bored.

I hate it.........

When I let things get to me, even though I know I shouldn't.

Take for example the fact that no matter what is going on or what he's done, my mother will always take the baby bro's side. Always. It's a proven fact. Break into my house and ruin my freshly stained hardwood floors, "I'm sure he didn't mean to." Get arrested and owe fines and lose his license. "It wasn't his fault."

Then there's the MIL, oh the lovely MIL who apparantly thinks that the hubby and I are too neglectful to feed, bathe, or give our child attention. Yeah. That was a lovely chat.

Toss in the SIL who hates me because of a flipping TV show couple. yeah Brid, right on with that! Then there's the other whiney babbling lunatic of a SIL. The one who needs serious therapy but has decided a baby will make things all better. yeah. Cuz an unstable person really needs to add the instability of a pregnancy to her life. Woohoo we're really thinking with our brains there, yeah buddy.

Lets add in JC's new girlfriend here too, the girl HATES me. I've done nothing at all ever to her, hardly know her and she is all snarly and I just don't get it.

Am I that evil of a person? I mean really do I derserve all the bullshit?

JJ says its because I'm too nice and I try to hard to like everybody. and he says I overcompensate and other people don't appreciate it. URG. IS the man right?

I'm thinking of crawling in a hole for a week or so.

The best part

about IMing with Jen and Jill is..............

Kevin and Bill coming into the conversation in the middle with no warning.

Bill, Gotta love the perverted insane meanderings of your mind sometimes! You always make me smile and laugh, and of course I flove you.

Kevin, You are funny too sometiems, but mostly. I just love confusing you. :) And hey. You're in on the secret now, so YOu have to keep the mouth closed about it as well. :)


Edited to Add Quotes (as requested by Jen!)

These are to show the normal routine convo Jen and I were having. Until she went to finish cooking lunch and take the laptop upstairs to get ready to watch a show. Books, kids, you know everything. :)

Jennifer says:
Alexander glared at her, sending her a subliminal message, the kind he knew she understood from their long years of friendship. You’re a manipulative little bitch.
She shot him a Mona Lisa smile, an expression that said plainly, I know.
(excerpt from book)
Kris says:
WOOT!
Jennifer says:
I can just see you and JC having a "convo" like that
Kris says:
yep!

Jennifer says:

Kris says:
Mine pretty much told me a nap was not in her future
Jennifer says:

Jennifer says:

From: B....

And loser, well he is a loser on drugs, he fell a sleep right away so I don't think he even ejaculated.

JC decides he needs a wifey

So JC has decided he needs a wife. And he's developed a list of requirements. And he's asked that I help find her for him in the next ten days. AS if that's happening.

Here are his requirements...

1. Must be willing to do all laundry.
2. Has to do all cooking, and must cook well.
3. Must be willding to do all housework, except taking out the trash and mowing.
4. Must Be willing to have sex daily
5. Must Breed Well.
6. No previous children. Or husbands.
7. Want to elope. No big wedding.
8. Work full time.
9. Be okay with video games. (My playing them)
10. Never complain or argue or disagree to/with me.
11. Must have all of her teeth.
12. Doesn't have to be model sexy, but must be pretty.
13. Submissive. (Kris is the only dominant female allowed in my life)
14. Must be Flexible


Oh yes. And when asked why he needs a wife he replied "Because my laundry's rarely done and I hate cooking."

He considers placing an ad. Yeah. Cuz that'll find him some real winners. I'm sure.

Dearest Husband Bill,

First Hugs, Smoochies, and all that great shit.

Now lets get to the important stuff.

You seem to have forgotten that both Jen and I love you no matter what. So To drive this point home.

WE LOVE YOU!

As do the kids.

And, we are sorry that work sucks major ass lately. We think you should maim the employees discreetly outside of work of course. If you need help, Jen and I are fans of torture.

If you'd like, we offer to videotape it as well, so when they act up again, you can view it and remember the pleasure of watching their asses get kicked. Just a suggestion.

FLOVES,

Wife Kris

So....

Kevin informs me that everything I've asked him about is in fact illegal.

I think that's just cruel and unusual punishment.

The plus side is that he won't arrest me if he's the one who catches me in the act. Or you know
If its with him.

So Kevin, Jilly, Where's that ticket??

Welcome Athena...

The newest member of our family.

Jen, Jill....

So far today....

I've posted a review on 4 ho's Melani Blazer's Trophy Girl

and helped the boy finish installing the new Kitchen Cabinets. Pics coming soon.

I've also been working on the office. Trying to fit all my favorite print books on one shelf in here. I don't think its going to work.

ICKY on the unpacking.

What are you trying to say??

In an email from Jill I get the following:

I tell ya a story..

My son Connor he is the oldest twin.. anyways.. he asked me if Boobs are better big for sex or little! YUP You read that right.. I almost choked on my pepsi I was drinking.. I asked him where he got that from and he said his friend Andrew's Dad was talking on the phone about Boobs and sex and he had to go outside before he heard the answer! Know what I told him? I told him to call you! LMAO

My response:

As far as the answer goes.. you can tell him one of two things.

You can take teh easy polite road and say "Depends on the man's choice" and leave it at that.

or you could go by JC's standby that more than a mouthful/handful's a waste


UPDATE:
Apparantly Jill's boy is a BOOB man.

Dearest Husband of Mine,

For future reference, when you notice your cell phone is missing. And after a week its still missing and you are unable to locate it anywhere. You tell your wife, and have her call the company so they can suspsend the account.

You do NOT ignore it, and let the person who STOLE it rack up 137 minutes over our plan on calls to places like fucking Wisconsin (no offense Jen)

You do NOT inform your wife after recieving the bill, that oh yeah I guess it was stolen. It's been missing for about three weeks.

And most of all, you don't get to be Happy to be getting a new phone.



P.S. To the fucker who stole my husbands cellphone, first off FUCK YOU! second off, how stupid are you to try to check the voicemail 5 fucking times, no matter how many times you try, you will have to enter a password. Oh and also....FYI. With the list of numbers you called, and the fact that the idiots left you voicemail, we will figure out who the fuck you are, and you will pay. And I don't just mean the $68 in overcharges either.

TAGGED...

Shan tagged me.....Here goes.


When did you start blogging and why?


Well I started this blog in January of this year. But I've actually been blogging since my pregnancy with Caity in 2003. I started this blog to keep in touch with new friends and to have an outlet my family couldn't see.

What don’t you talk about?

It's pretty much anything goes here. I think the only thing I won't talk about is the really personal stuff like losing my babies. I'm sure there will be more things in the future that I do not post for public consumption but for the most part, I'm not shy about posting my thoughts on anything.

Are you and your blogging persona the same person?

One in the same. My personality really shows through most of my postings.

How do you use blogging to build friendships?

I don't really know how to answer this. I think for the most part I blog for myself and my current friends. If someone happens along and wants to be freinds, that works for me too.

How would you describe your writing style?

Crazy. LOL. I never know what I'm going to write, from funny chat stuff, to crazy real life happenings. and more.

Tagging:
Jill
Jen
Amanda

Not so sure I understand Men

So we go to walmart. I have a list. It's a short list.

Consisting of:
Drinks
Snacks
Toilet Paper

We leave with

A MINI FRIDGE to put in the office.

Why we need a mini fridge in hte office is beyond me but JJ was insistent that it was of utmost importance.

More of the completed Kitchen (minus the cabinets)

here's a couple more pics of the kitchen.

That's the opening between the kitchen and living room....You can see our cabinets in the boxes! We have no living room. hehe


Thats the other side of the kitchen, it leads off into C's bedroom, which is currently the junk room.


The Floor in all its shinieness

Just another random fun filled post.

JJ is begging me to do his homework....yet again. And he's choosing all routes, text messaging, iming, and speaking.

FROM CHAT:

caitybugsmommy: He's iming me
caitybugsmommy: from literally
caitybugsmommy: 2 feet away
Bill Johnson: lol
Bill Johnson: sounds like something Bill would do if he had IM'saccounts in his name

Bill Johnson: http://www.emotihost.com/glass/9.gif

caitybugsmommy: omg

Bill Johnson: and that concludes today's lesson on 'How to diss your DH using smilies'
CC: that is my favorite
caitybugsmommy: LMAO
caitybugsmommy: floves Jen
caitybugsmommy: Jay: You suck

And just to prove that he is only inches away....pics. Pardon DH's dirty desk.
JJ's desk.

My desk

The distance between....

I'm such a great friend.

The background: JC spent the better part of the evening hidden in a bottle of vodka, He's just so torn up about not being married to ME, you know.

So me, being the good friend I am, decide to free myself of worry and give hima call. AT 5 a.m.!

Here's the conversation.

JC: UNH.
ME: It's time to wake up.
JC: UNH.
Me: I love you
JC: Unh
Me: get out of bed and come over.
JC: Bite me
Me: when you come over.
JC: If I give you my blog address will you leave me the hell alone?
Me: that'll hold me off for an hour or two.

I'm thinking its just about time to give him another call too!

Dirty Perves

caitybugsmommy: I'm blowign buubbles
jills3boys: LMAO
jills3boys: dude for a moment there
jills3boys: never mind

Jen is the Bestest Most Awesomest Friend EVAR

Jen:
Let me know if I got all the books. I think I did. I checked my list twice. Like Santa. Only the naughty got the presents this time. LOL


YAY for being Naughty! And thanks for the books Jen. ;) I'm pretty sure you sent them all.

This proves being Naughty gets you more and better gifts than being Nice.

NAUGHTY ALL THE WAY

Hehe SEX

Well sex scenes.

So JJ and I finally watched Underworld 2 last night. JJ started it while I was in the shower and I come into the bedroom and he tells me "You missed the sex scene." I give him the 'huh' look, and he replies "rewinding now." *God I love this man*

So anyways this morning I tell Jill and Jen to watch it--even if just for the sex scene (It was scene 8 on my DVD player, not that I kept going back or anything *g*) and I inticed them with the following.



So we've spent the rest of the afternoon emailing. And Jen, shame on Bill for not telling you, How Dare he. I say its time to take his "batteries" away.

Comments:
Holy crap!! Full nudity on both of them!! So watching that part later. LOL Scott's hot! In in Felicity, but hot in both Underworlds. ~ Jen

OMG I want it! I want to see it!!!!!!
Screams! I love you! Thank you! Thank you so much!
Flove you! EEEEEEEEEE ~Jill

FUCKING AT&T FUCKERS

Okay lets go back to teh beginning.
When we wanted to transfer DSL to the new house and they told us it wasn't available. So we got info from them that our accounts would revert to yahoo accounts and we wouldn't lose any information. Well guess the fuck what.

THEY DON'T.

I log in this afternoon to find what. MY account is SUSUPENDED. And I have no access to

Then we waste TWO FUCKING HOURS talking to EIGHT FUCKING REPS only to be informed that we need to FAX A FUCKING FORMAL FUCKING REQUEST TO FUCKING GET OUR FUCKING SERVICE FUCKING BACK.

Oh and teh kicker The KICKER. We have to pay them for DIAL UP SERVICE so we can gain access to transfer all our stuff. WTF

OH AT&T is so losing a customer. I have DSL through someone else, I can get phones from someone else too. FUCKERS.

Nana bought big fat crayons to teach Caity colors (I'll add in, she's known htem for about 6wks)

So Nana's telling C the colors. C's giving nana the "your so stupid' look.

Then Caity says, grabbing teh pink and orange crayons "I'll color with the pink and orange ones, you can have the red blue and green."

Nana goes, "so you already know your colors"

Caity gives her a DUH look.

Later Nana takes C to see Papaw (my grandfather, mom's dad)
"Dad, let me show you how smart Caity is." Points to couch (which is green btw) "Caity what color is that"

Caity "uh Blue"

Everything became BLUE.

EFF


So Dominique's dad got her last night to pick her up. In tow with his girlfriend, her daughter and her niece.

I can handle it.

WRONG.

First, we are expected to give up our bed, because there are extra kids along. I don't even fucking think so.

Then there's the daughter, who can't keep her eyes or grubby paws off MY HUSBAND.

I wanted to scream at the lil whore. (she's only 17 too for cripes sake)


Throw in me getting cornered this morning by the girlfriend who wants me to answer personal family questions, that I have no fucking clue about.

Keeping Dominique was a fun month.......dealing with her exit......not so much.

Remind me again how I get roped into dealing with shit like this??

OHHHHHHHHHHH JENNNNNNNNNNIFER

I have not FORGOTTEN.

Now you swore you'd do this. And you MUST.

SEX MEME

Kris says...

I'm willing to whore for them.

Jen replies..
And I'm willing to let Kris whore for details.

Trace says...
I'm willing to whore out Jen for details

And then Huma adds....
I'm all for Kris being a whore.

Followed, by Jen's generous offer...
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

I'm sure Bill will be willing to video tape all the whoring for free. He's generous that way.
