The Ughhhh is real...
First off I want to set the record straight before I go any farther in making said record... I love my husband and I would do anything for him and he has given us a pretty great life, especially from where we started out at ten years ago... But other than that I hope he gets hit by a dump truck some days. He is a great father and husband and we have a very weird relationship where we are always smack talking each other but it works for us and it keeps us on our toes around each other too. I wont lie I am one of those people that you should not put on speaker phone if that helps in gauging where we stand on the kind of people we are. So now that the holidays are now in full swing because I guess Thanksgiving didn't count... My husband has become Grinchier than he normally is which I should be use to after ten years but I'm not. I love the holidays and a big family get togethers and Christmas very much, he hates it with the intensity of a thousand burning suns (in his words) and I did everything on Thanksgiving with cooking and planning to go to a neighbors house and taking care of the kids while I rushed around the kitchen. Only did it come to me tripping over children did I lose my shit while the hubby sat on his Call of Duty game fighting with internet people instead of helping inside the real world. Fine we managed to get through the holiday and survived to the next weekend where he yet again sat in front of his game and ignored me and the kids again. (yes I get his job sucks let me whine, I didn't say anything that weekend either) then last weekend he had staff duty (army thing) and had to work Saturday night and sleep as much as he could on Sunday. Which is fine; but he got up and went right to his games and ignored us again. (and the butthole says I need to spend more time with the kids... I thought that was what I was doing as a stay at home mother...)I get it life isn't as exciting as we hoped it to be with three kids and me going to school and him working terrible hours but we have managed to get through it all. Just sometimes I want to drop kick him into a weekend where I acted like him for one afternoon and maybe he would change his attitude. Even just lighten up for Christmas for the kids, hell I have done all the Christmas shopping for his parents my parents our kids and teachers and now I must bake like 10393848 cookies for Thursday … I am lying. more like 40 but still. I want to be dramatic once in a while. Through out all of this I may have some issues with depression and anxiety and stress I eventually get out of bed each day and night over and over and over... and over its like a never ending torture wheel. I have been working on my comic for about 15 years now and that really is my first baby it has been published and I was proud of it when it was published a few years ago but now I have panicked again because it is not perfect like everyone else in the world and I tired my best to make it perfect and bought one of those Gaomon tablets (it is amazing if anyone is interested) (my opinion for someone who is just getting into the drawing scene for digital work.) I lothed how my first two books came out my original publisher didn't help or give feed back they were just happy to take my money and I wanted my book to be great and now looking back after writing the 5th book for the 4th time I went back to the original way of doing things because that is the way the story needs to be told and I am so much happier with writing it... The reason I bring it up is its a good stress reliver. It even got me to connect with my kids on a level that I knew would help us become closer and even enjoy being around each other without fighting (a miracle in its own). We draw together and paint (even though painting is a nightmare when we try to do something fun.) So now that I am done venting about being married to the Grinch I will go and talk about my day (yay). Junior and I went all around the Petersburg Battlefield here in Virginia today its beautiful and we go often, it was freezing today and the wind did not help set the excitement of walking all over the Battlefield but I did get some great pictures. Even though we don't have Biggie and Mini me with us its still a great time spending time with the last child in the house. We were having issues on figuring out what Mini Me wanted for Christmas, she doesn't ask for much due to being the middle child I don't ever want her to feel left out so she wanted a kitten, Grinch said no. (we have two dogs) and Biggie wants everything (of course) we finally got Mini Me to tell me what she wanted for Christmas.... and it did not come out like I expected it to. She asked for Five Whores. for Christmas... Grinch said that would be a little hard to find... Very funny.... after much confusion we figured out she wanted five HORSES.......... After the fun at the Battlefield we decided to go to Sam's club and get some groceries and pizza (yes I will confess they have the best pizza) I ended up carrying him out of the store like a football when I had to break his heart over not getting the 20,000 toys he picked out. (It's all Santa's fault.) I was telling Grinch about our adventure today while he was on break and he had a good laugh at me over Junior, being three must be so hard. We had to return stuff to a few different stores today and I tried my best to get some cash in my pocket but all the stores now want to put it back on the card... no fun and no extra snack stops this time.... foiled by capitalism. So I guess after all the stress and arguing over everything I am right no matter what and Grinch will always be a Grinch and I will have to carry my screaming 3 year old out of a few more stores and watch my girls grow up and keep up with my shoddy book and finish college without losing my mind completely... One day at a time I guess.

The Dirty Turtles
Prologue “In the beginning there was nothing. The universe, the stars and heavens the planets and the air we breathe was nonexistent at a point in the universe. Then 13 eons ago the big bang happened and that was the beginning of time and space. My son, I am the first of our kind. Alone and living in the emptiness. When I made you, I was no longer alone, no longer unloved or uncared for. For you my son I hope all your days are filled with everlasting happiness and love.”

So I talked about starting a garden in the middle of fall like a complete idiot but I totally cheated when it came to the carrots growing and low and behold I now have a dinky little green thing growing! It is now my baby and my life. My husband heard me squealing over it last night and couldn't be less interested but it being the first green thing I haven't killed yet it is now the miracle of life in my house now. Tony the carrot broke through last night after we had put our Christmas tree up which was a complete and total nightmare due to Biggie and Mini Me fighting over who could put ornaments up faster... luckily nothing broke this year. Junior couldn't care any more for putting the stuff on the tree until his sisters made it a life or death situation to do so. The hubby in his normal grinchy life gagged when I asked him to put the tree together for us and refused to even look at it after it was all decorated and lit up. the kids were so proud of how the tree turned out we have 34836 bulbs and decorations in one area of the tree and nothing in another looks like a crack tree but they are happy. So the Grinch (my husband) has now officially tried to barf on the tree and scream curse words at my toilet seat cover which is a penguin head and body and fought putting up any Christmas stuff at all... It has now become my life mission to decorate this house to the point of him gagging every time he walks into the house because I LOVE CHRISTMAS and I don't give a shit that he doesn't any more. I will make this as painfully Christmasy I got a wreath on the front door, even a great door mat with Santa and a snow man on it and the kids have had Christmas movies on all day its been great... We will convert him one day. haha. We now are coming up on the last pay day before Christmas and every year he wants to bring up doing Christmas after Christmas and its something that I have considered but never want to do, not sure if it would really save any money or not but I love it on the day. It is about fifty degrees out and the kids are outside screaming and yelling rather than inside screaming and yelling. We feel its great to share the joy of our children with everyone around us in a 2 mile radius due to the loudness of the screams. Grinch and I are working on our finals for this week for our classes, I talked him into human sexuality class just to get him back into the swing of school, he wasn't too excited about it in the beginning but now that we are at the end of the class I think he has learned a little and appreciates taking the class. I on the other hand am finishing up Colonial America and Folklore which have been excellent classes and will be moving on the the American revolution and ww2 next. ( I know big time hop) Its nice that I am getting to the end of these classes now but not so sure on what to do after this due to us planning on moving in the middle of it as well. It will be interesting to see how the next year is going to go with all our moving and getting kids back into new schools again. The PCS season has been busy around here we have seen several families move in the last two months and just watch from the porch as the semis try to make their ways into the tiny road littered with cars. That's another thing we got fortunate about we are at the beginning of the road so it will be easy for a truck for us but bothersome to everyone else. haha. Our neighbors attached to us are a young family and the husband will be heading to Korea with his little family... Kind of glad we don't have to worry about a move like that. UGH! hopefully we will get lucky and we wont have to go cross country... that will be a pain....

A Princess and her Monkey
A Princess and her Monkey Once upon a time not so long ago there was a princess that lived in the clouds. She loved to play with her siblings and run and hide in makeshift forts they made out of items around the castle. Strawberries were her favorite treat and naptime was something that she did not like at all, but who could blame her? When you are young you are in charge of it all… So, she thought.

The day....
I guess bird brained doesn't go too far from me any more. My state inspection was up in August... Had no idea because I am oblivious to everything in the world apparently and this douche canoe of a gate guard where I live says that I need to get it done before I get pulled over.... Well now I'll get pulled over because you said something about it asshole... Searched all over the area to find a place to do the state inspection without a wait and could not get a hold of anyone until early this morning, the hubs can't meet me at the inspection place (that is on post because god forbid he be late to work.) and the guy at the shop says it will take all day... Well that was not amusing to hear when I have a three year old that literally wants to destroy everything in a store or throw a fit if he doesn't get a lolly pop at 8am because yolo... I was just lucky enough to get biggie and mini me on the bus before going to the shop and thought well its not that far of a walk home we have done it before on bikes its about (for a normal human or functional family about 15 minutes.) For me and my hellions it took 2 HOURS on bikes..... but without the girls it should be no problem waddling my fat ass and fighting with a three year old all the way back to the house in the 35 degree weather in the sun... it was shady all the way back to our house and I needlessly forgot juniors coat... I was able to get a neighbor to help me with the offer of a cheese Danish so that was good. We get home and by 0945 the shop calls and says the car is done....WOW...thanks....BUT I need a new battery and an alignment … so yea thanks 2020 just keep adding to it. And the dude was like "The battery is only $179.00 with installation and the alignment is only $99 …. yea fantastic news. (I was only planning on spending $20 on the damn inspection and these assholes come to just take it all... (they could have bought me dinner first...shoot)

Once upon a time...
11/18/2020 So, grandma (81 this year) has been up my ass about keeping a journal of everything that is going on right now so here goes. Amelia is 9 and in 4th grade, Raynen is 5 and is in kindergarten and Rj is 3 and is home with me. We live in fort lee right now and my husband, Bobby (30 this year) has just had his 3rd spine surgery and now awaiting the promotion board (he is in the army) and finding out when we will be moving. I am 26 credits away from my BA in history. The coronavirus pandemic has been a pain in the ass and the 2020 presidential election was a complete dumpster fire. Yay 2020 and the best part was carol baskin and the memes from that world.
