Ok, you all know about my "insensitive" comments about special needs people and children and many of you know that the comments that are considered insensitive that hub's writes down and posts on the fridge are never meant to be insensitive. I just speak before I think a lot of times. I really wish my brain was faster than my mouth.
Anyway...Hubs invited me to go to a baseball game that one of his students was playing in. His student is blind. Then he tells me that all of the participants are blind. I told hubs I thought this would be dangerous. Someone could get hurt. He reminds me they play with a ball that beeps. So great...I go with him (even after the mess with the family that had me in a horrible mood that night). I call my aunt to get someone to help pull me out of my funk and hubs tells her where we are. She then tells hubs "When the blind kids put down their drink, move it and see what happens". LMAO. See, I come by it naturally!!!! I told my aunt "You just made my blog" to which she responded "DON'T use my name!!" lol Oh how my family cracks me up, at least the ones I still talk too.

UFB
Ok, I have a few funny things to post and will when I get past this, but tonight my family just moved to another level of pure spitefulness that I just can't comprehend.
I am throwing a baby shower for my sister this weekend. She is due in December and I can't wait to see Blake and hold him in my arms. He is truly a miracle baby. This was a completely unexpected pregnancy and the answer to my sister's prayers. I am so excited for her. Anyway, when talking about who to invite my sister tells me to invite the family. The ones that seem to support my father even after he told my sister and I that he would rather vomit than spend the holidays with us last year.
So I send out the invites. With every intention in the world of seeing them all this weekend and everyone playing nicey nice like always. I was told I wasn't allowed to send one to our father's home. I completely understand and support my sister since I know everything he has been pulling with the two of us.
I call one of our cousins yesterday and get this brush off about how she is working and probably won't make it because she will be too tired from working the day before. Ok, fine, but something in my gut told me this isn't all there is to it. GRRRRRRRR, I should have fucking known. I called my sister who is a senior in high school who has moved back in with Satan. I wanted to make sure she called pregnant sis since today is her birthday. Seems the word on the street is my side of the family is too good for the shower I am throwing (not exactly, Satan and his whore are pouting because they weren't invited) so they are going to throw their own next weekend. Pregnant sis will not go to it, so really they are throwing a pity party. I seriously don't fucking get the family I am in.
Tonight I sit here, wanting nothing more than to open a bottle of wine and make my heart stop hurting. I am pissed they are doing this to my sister and my new nephew and I want to protect them from my family's meanness. Ugh, really though I am hurt knowing once again these people have let me down and can't live up to even polite expectations.
Peace out my peeps. Thank you for letting me vent, I promise to have good stories about blind baseball and my nekkid nephew soon.

Soundtrack of life
I wonder sometimes if everyone has a soundtrack for their life. Music is so important in my world that there always seems to be a song that explains my mood or where I am in my life at any given time. I don't really know how that happened to me, but at some point along the way this soundtrack for my life just started playing in the back of my mind.
Just a few examples....
Last year while we were going through struggles with PITA, I came across a song called "There goes my life". The first time I heard it tears were rolling down my cheeks. It seemed to speak right to the core of my heart about how I feel about PITA. I know that one day she will be moving on with her own life. I just wonder if she knows that she is my life. Every decision I have made over the last 16 years has been effected in some way by her presence.
When hubs and I are having a hard time I always hear "I miss my friend". Hubs is the best husband, but I am the worst wife. I know this even though he will disagree with me at times. What makes things hardest on us is when we stop being friends. That happens so often in relationships.
Another song that describes how things seem to be with hubs right now is "Chasing Cars". {Psst, Hubs, you know why this one touches me, since we have talked about it}
With my MK business...I have posted this before, but two songs seem to play when I think about my business are "Unwritten" and "How bad do you want it". Both explain themselves.
Recently, another song that I couldn't get enough of was "Bring me to Life" (I know, older song, but I came across it while listening to my MP3 player one morning). I could feel my breath catch in my throat at the emotions that song brought to the surface while I listened to it. It still seems to be very powerful for me. It is always nice to feel woken up inside.
Now for today, my songs seem to have a theme..."Give it to you", "Feelin' Love", and "Crash (into me)". I can't imagine what is on my mind LOL. Hubs should understand these songs. I hope that he will use this information to his advantage :-)
Peace out my peeps....may the soundtrack to your lives be happy and up beat.

Hubs and the ATF
Seriously there are some things that I think are not the best thing for my husband to have. Yesterday I got the mail and was on the phone with my director, trying not to get knocked over by two greyhounds letting me know they wanted out and a cat trying to say hi. The blue envelope we got in the mail meant nothing to me. I saw a government seal but figured it would end up to be some kind of junk mail. Hell I have gotten government letters before (hubs reminded me that it was from the customs department and I shouldn't bring those up too often).
Anyway, hubs gets home and I hear an exclamation of happiness from him. He then comes in the office and thrusts a piece of paper out to me. He is now certified to carry explosives. WTF?!? The government won't let me have valium, but will let my husband drive around with explosives?? Seriously what is wrong with this picture? I need to valium to deal with him driving around with explosives.
I just want you all to have this information in case you hear that I died in an explosion.
Peace out my peeps....have a great Thursday...the weekend is almost here.

Friday the 13th
Hmmm, so how many people out there have wondered why today is considered unlucky? Being the conspiracy freak that I am...I found out about the legend behind this date this last year during some research on the Illuminati and the Knights Templar.
From UselessKnowlege.com: the basis for this superstition stems from the events that took place on Friday, October 13, 1307. On that day, the Pope of the Roman Catholic church, in combination with the King of France, sentenced the Knights Templar to death and ordered the torture and crucifixion of their leader, Jacques DeMolay (who is also thought to be the one who is on the Shroud of Turin as well).
Also, Friday and the number 13 have been considered to be unlucky by many different cultures and religions.
Just wanted to send you all a little information to start off your Friday. Have a great day!!
Peace out my peeps!

Microsoft vs General Motors
For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,
"If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:
If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash........
Twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

Justice
Another monster is found guilty! Some days my faith is restored and today is one of those days.
A year and a half ago there was a murder of an 11 year old girl. She was raped, strangled and shoved under a trailer. This week the monster who committed this crime finally went on trial. The jury returned a guilty verdict about an hour ago. This case is like many others out there in the world where a child falls victim to a monster, but the difference with this monster...he is the father of one of my former students.
I still feel a pit in my stomach and my heart hurts when I think about his daughter. She is beautiful, bright and has a wonderful sense of humor. I feel like I failed her 2 years ago. She had all of the classic signs of abuse that I should have seen and understood. The monster had been abusing her for a long time. She was suppose to be there the night he committed this horrible crime and I can't help but think she would have been the victim if she had been there.
I am sending out strong vibes for this jury to send back the death penalty on this monster. Information put out in the trial only makes me further want his death when I read that this little girl would have died from her injuries sustained in the rape. The bastard hurt her that badly. My brain just doesn't understand it. I just hope this jury uses this as an opportunity to rid the world of one more bad seed.
Peace out my peeps....I hope your Friday is going great!
