2011 already???
Wow! It's really hard to believe it's 2011 already folks! My my I have been neglecting my blogging these past few months. There's tons to catch up on but I have no clue where to begin! lol!
Baseball Season ended with a bang, my son made it to All Stars. They didn't win but they made it to 3 of the games before they were counted out. It was fantastic!
Halloween rocked! Even I got dressed up, as Elastic Girl! Get it *wink*
Thanksgiving was pleasant and full of goodies. However we were good this year and kept the sweets to a bare minimum.
Nick's birthday weekend started off with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows premiere. WOW! What can I say, I was blown out of my seat and I can't wait for part 2! *Crossing fingers that J.K. Rowling decides to continue the HP series and writes another book* Then Saturday we went to Camp Moore to watch the Civil War reenactments and camps, then Sunday to the Louisiana Renaissance Festival which is always a particularly wonderful treat!
Christmas couldn't have been anymore perfect if I had asked for it to be. Nick got everything he wanted, and we got the satisfaction of watching his face light up as he played with his toys & games. Our gift you ask, it's simple...Family time, its the most wonderful gift that anyone can give or receive in this hectic world today. It's always a blessing to spend time with those you love.
Now the not so great part. The holidays and cold weather brought 20 extra pounds to my door, but January so far has seen 16 of those leave by the back door...Let's hope I can push the other 4 out before February so we can get back on the base pounds.
As for the New Year it was rockin'! Spending it with my boy's, watching the fireworks via computer (it was to rainy for fireworks that night here) and talking about all the things we want to do in 2011...
Which brings me to a fabulous idea! I'm going to take some time this week and make a list of all the things I want to do or accomplish in 2011 ...Goals not resolutions that I know if I try hard enough I can achieve.
Why goals instead of traditional resolutions you ask? Let me ask you, have you ever kept any of the resolutions you've made? I'll tell you straight forward I haven't, not a single one of them. But goals, goals are different. Goals are something we are taught from our youth to work for, and we're taught with hard work we can achieve those goals. So for me, and I'm pretty certain I'm not alone, goals set me on the road to accomplishing success. Make sense?
Alright, tis late on this dreary cold night and I have loads of work to do tomorrow so I need to call it a night, and go stretch out with some Twilight and plain air popped popcorn... Goodnight to all.
Peace be with you all...

All Stars . . . Game #1 Results
Today was awesome! My little man played his first ever All Stars series ballgame! He's been in Little League since the rip ole age of 5, lol! After 6 years in the league from Tee Ball to the Major Leagues he has finally achieved his goal! I couldn't be more proud of him then I am now! At least not till his next great achievement, lol! ;-)
Nick has worked very hard to get to the position he's at now. Proof positive that no matter what handicap the doctors want to brand you with, it is NOT a 'cap' on your abilities to follow through with your dreams, no matter how unattainable they may seem to others.
Always remember with a little hard work, determination and will to make it, you too can do anything you set your mind to!
Okie, on to the scores:
All Stars Little League game #1/b:
Home Team(Us): Mid-Parish (10 & 11 yr olds)
'Smootie King Knights'
Guest Team: Walker (All 11yr olds) 'Turtles'
Final Score:
Walker 15 / Mid-Parish 0
Although we were skunked it was not without one heck of a fight from our boys. They played hard and in the end that's all that counts, team work!
The second of game of the series @ 5pm on Sunday.
I can't wait!

A new year...a new me?
Wow, it's hard to believe it's a new year already, 3 months into it to be exact! Even more surprising is the fact I haven't been blogging at all. I've been so pre-occupied with starting the new year off right, getting our i's dotted and our t's crossed legally, and trying to get my health back on the fast track that I lost track of time.
Overall it's been a fairly decent new year so far. The family chaos has quieted down since we changed our cell numbers in January and have refused to take part in any of the family's chaos.
The job market seems to have been on a steady decline however, which has meant making ends meat hasn't been an easy task...well not that it was ever easy but it certainly was easier then now.
As for writing, I've been working on a couple projects that I hope to have ready to share soon. I plan on finally developing my writing website so I can upload & share my works with the blogger world and beyond. Who knows I may experiment with my own blog over there since I've been learning the tricks of the trade building blogs for wordpress...oops, wait, I can say wordpress here can't I?
So tell me blogger world, how has the first two months of your year been?
I'm anxious to read your reply's...
until then may peace be with you All!

My son's birthday and a rant...
Hellooooo blogger world!
Hope you all are enjoying a little R'n'R on this beautiful, but chilly Sunday morning.
Myself I am getting ready to take my youngest son over to my father's house for his official birthday party. Last night we had a small intimate party with just the three of us. Dinner, cupcakes, chips and a movie. Our original plans for the Louisiana Renaissance Festival were twarted when the storms came through but we purchased Ice Age 3:Dawn of the Dinosaurs and stayed home instead. My son, Nicholas, got a Star Wars action figure, Terminator 3:Rise of the Machines for his PS2 and Transformers 2:Revenge of the fallen DVD. Too sum up the entire evening, It rocked!
Now today we will be having a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake, which btw PLEASE make certain you check the size before you order! We ordered 1/2 a sheet and OMG it was small! Pizza, soda and a turkey dinner later this evening. Lots of good food and great company.
What more could an 11 year old ask for you say?
Well here's my rant. And frankly I don't give a frog's fat back quarters if the people, or should I say cold heartless dicks responsible read this or not.
The 'more' that any child could ask for is just to be loved by his family, and I don't mean just parents. I mean grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. They only ask to be protected and kept safe from harm, and the drama that plagues the world. We all know they will learn of this plague soon enough when they hit their teens, and into pre-adulthood.
And yes here we go again with the Toxic People. Now myself and my hubby have both made it clear we have stepped back. But what 11 year is going to step back from those who 'claim' they love him unconditionally.
Nicholas doesn't understand why his Granny (My father's ex-wife) was in his life up till last summer and when she found out my father remarried, and she no longer had use for us to find out about what my dad was up to, she cut him out of her life. Zilch! Just like that. She went from calling a few times a week, holidays and just because to na-da, nothing, not one damn phone call not even for his birthday. Well I have news for that bitch, she needn't cross my path in this lifetime again cause she has an ass kickin' coming. Btw Betty, if you are reading this, this is NOT a threat, this IS a promise. So until I make good on it there is NOTHING the law can do because it is not a threat.
Now to the hubby's family, the most Toxic bunch I have EVER met in my entire life! And believe me with my first hubby being in the public career he was, I have met a LOT of people over the years and since. You would think that after hearing for nearly a year & half that 'if only' we'd move back to good ole' Louisiana that they would come visit, they would take an active part in their then only grandson's life. Well we made that leap, we moved back here and in the first 7 years they visited no more then a handful of times, only participated in his sports once and that was football and what's even more sad is the last birthday they spoke to him was 2006 and that was due to free food & cake I believe! His self=proclaimed (but not active) uncle James claims he missed him, wants to be a part of his life, was coming to visit the week before last. Another friggin LIE! All he wanted was to thwart our intentions of hiring an attorney to sue his sorry white trash ass for defamation of character and slander.
Now back to the so called grandparents. From 2007, till now they have not called him on this birthday, or ANY OTHER day for that matter. Not once. Of course Betty (yes that's my hubby's mother's name as well as my ex-stepmothers) could put her younger grandson on the line with DJ when he called, he was only 2.5 at the time, and you cannot even understand a word that child says. Yet did she ask to speak with Nicholas, HELL NO SHE DIDN'T! I am about to my witts end with that white trash bunch over there in Robert, LA! As far as I'm concerned the same promise goes for them ALL over there!
Along with another hand of white trash so called family they can ALL kiss my Yankee ass & go straight to hell where they belong!
If anyone can give me some insight on how someone can push away a child, their own flesh & blood without a bit of guilt it seems, Please please pleaseeeeee let me know what makes these people tick. I really am at my wits end and tired of making lame excuses to my son for their behavior.
Well now, I hope you will excuse my vulgar language and rant for the day.
Have a bright, beautiful Sunday!
Peace be with you...

Freaky Dreams...
Have you ever had one of those dreams that were just plain freaky? You know the ones where you wake up wondering WTF? Where no one in your dream acts quite right and says or does things way out of the ordinary for them.
Well I just awoke from one of those dreams and let me tell you it left a horrible taste in my mouth! I won't go into too much detail but I will say that all through this it was surreal, and in the end I took my last breath, at least I believe I was dead/dying anyway cause I was lying on my living room floor (in some other house not this one) in a heep of blood after being beaten to a bloody pulp for something I didn't even do and it was proven in the end as the phone rang, it was the lab with test results to confirm I hadn't strayed to my attacker. But then it was to late as he turned to see I wasn't moving. Weird huh? Well I certainly thought so!
So, now it's your turn! Why not use the comments section of this post to share your freaky, weird or strange dreams... I can't wait to read them!
Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!
Happy Hump Days Folks!
Peace be with you...
