I called the company…Pan is in a state of reprive…. he just may live…
 
They are sending me a stain remover kit and I get to try that first and if that doesn’t work then they send a professional – and if that doesn’t work.  Sounds like I get a new couch.
 
The kid got lucky!!!

There’s ticked off – and then there’s me right now…

I am sooooo mad. Mad isn’t the word, ticked off doesn’t cover it either.

We have a leather couch. It’s a lighter tan…. and PAN – my 6 YEAR OLD wrote on it with blue ink pen. Do you see the steam rolling out of my ears????

I scrubbed on the damn thing for an hour – and nothing… resorted to hairspray -DO.NOT.USE HAIRSPRAY ON LEATHER COUCH to remove ink -it will remove the ink – but it also takes the color out….am going to call the “stainguard” company in the morning – and hope like mad they will come and remove the other marks.

The.kid.is.in.so.much.trouble.

I can’t believe he did it – he thought we would think Tink did it and she would get in trouble…which makes it even worse. I am so frustrated – that I.Have.No.WORDS…None….


Sunday Six – WEATHER


And, since it seems to be hot all across the continent, Kelly thought “hot weather” was an appropriate theme! This weeks answers provided by Tink – 3.9

1. What is hot weather?
TINK: it’s really hot, and you can’t go outside and it feels like it is rainy – but it’s not…

2. Do you think its been too hot?
TInk: No

3. Why do you think the weather is so hot?
Tink: Because it rains to much and then it gets to hot, and we are getting closer to the sun on the weekends.

4. What do you do to cool down in hot weather?
Tink: play in the sprinkler or go to the pool.

5. Which is better – hot weather or cold weather?
Tink: I think warm.not hot, not cold.

6. What does it mean to be in a heat wave?
Tink: I don’t know – tell me first.

Did you play? Let us know so we can come visit!

A note to Cheeky…


I know you didn’t share your comment to scare me…but just so you know – I live in total fear that my kids will have the “C” word. I don’t think you knew me when I had my other blog – so you probably don’t know – about B. and how he lost his battle with Neuroblastoma at the age of 5. (B. was my sister’s nephew)

He was undiagnosed for 6 months because the doctors were convinced it was growing pains – by the time his mom had convinced the doctors to run some tests – the tumor was huge, and the battle was on. He fought for 2.5 years.

Mr. Incredibles’ Cousin’s husband had a pain in his big toe for a year. He was waiting until he had health insurance with his employer – and when he finally got dx – it had spread so much throughout his body – that he lived for about 6 weeks. He was in his 30’s.

Believe me – when my kids ache – I want to rush them to the doctor and have it x-rayed, blood work, the whole nine yards. It takes all that I have not to do that. It was just days after the Cousin husband’s funeral that we took Pan in – the Doctors looked at us like we were nuts…and we finally said – look, we are not leaving until you x-ray his foot and do some blood work.

We were at my sister’s today – and she gave me some vitamins that she wants me to start giving Tink to help with her growing pains – it helped with her son. She also made me promise that if Tink was still having pains by the end of next week to take her in and demand some tests… see – we do live in fear… (nuts isn’t it? )

He’s Back!
Sometimes a girl just needs her Daddy….

And Daddy is home.

Hope you guys have a great weekend!

Tink has been complaining of leg pain, and her back hurts…but there is nothing visibly wrong with her, no bruise, no injury…nothing. Twice this week she stopped playing to sit on the carpet and cry that her legs hurt “so bad”. The daycare sent a note home so that I was aware of it…I think it’s just growing pains. We’ve been giving her some motrin at night, but it doesn’t seem to help. Hoping that it starts kicking in and soon! Tonight before her Daddy was home – she just laid on the couch and wanted me to rub her back and legs cause they hurt. As a parent you hate to see them in pain, and there is nothing that I can do, I just have to wait.

Pan went through this – and at one point Mr. Incredible took him to the doctor – because his foot was hurting soooo bad in the same spot for a month. They took x-rays – and it’s just growing pains – that’s what I’m sticking with for Tink… unless this goes on for a month – then I’ll take her – because I worry like that.

I’m in shock….

One of my daily reads was dooced because of his blog.

I don’t see why – he never bad mouthed his company or co-workers.

Apparently a co-worker complained about it and said it created a “Hostile work environment”…

I think – BULLSHIT….

Sending good vibes your way Mr. Fab….


You get this – because Blogger is being a pain and wouldn’t let me on earlier….. 
 
The Husband Store

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New
York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a
description of how the store operates. You may visit
the store ONLY ONCE !

There are six floors and the attributes of the men
increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is,
however, a catch . . .. you may choose any man from a
particular floor, or you may choose to go up a 

floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the
building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to
find a husband . .

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1
– These men have jobs and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2
– These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love
kids.

The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3
– These men have jobs, love the Lord, love
kids, and are extremely good looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:

Floor 4
– These men have jobs, love the Lord, love
kids, are drop- dead good looking and help with the
housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:

Floor 5 – These men have jobs, love the Lord, love
kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the
housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth
floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 – You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that
women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

I’m Already There – Lonestar
lyrics by: richie mcdonald/gary baker/frank myers

He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time
But when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone
Said daddy when you coming home
He said the first thing that came to his mind

I’m already there
Take a look around
I’m the sunshine in your hair
I’m the shadow on the ground
I’m the whisper in the wind
I’m your imaginary friend
And I know I’m in your prayers
Oh I’m already there

She got back on the phone
Said I really miss you darling
Dont worry about the kids theyll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I’ll be in your dreams tonight
And I’ll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes

I’m already there
Dont make a sound
I’m the beat in your heart
I’m the moonlight shining down
I’m the whisper in the wind
And I’ll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I’m already there

We may be a thousand miles apart
But I’ll be with you wherever you are

I’m already there
Take a look around
I’m the sunshine in your hair
I’m the shadow on the ground
I’m the whisper in the wind
And I’ll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I’m already there
Oh I’m already
There

 

excuses…

I’m full of excuses…. here is the best one – life is happening ….

Tonight when I got home from work I tore apart the van, trying to find this foul and mysterious odor – and it was Tinks’ car seat. of course I don’t discover this until after I have the van seats pulled, etc… the positive side – the van is cleaned, and Tink’s seat no longer smells like mildew…darn thing anyway.

I’m sorry I’ve been a bad blogger this week – I haven’t made it to everyone’s site – but I’ll get there …

*********************
Yes, the carnie that did that will be a guest of the federal government for the next 99 years.

and because of her and her daughter’s death in ‘01 – the state now requires background checks on all carnival employees working in this state. This particular person – had an extensive criminal history….including but not limited to convictions for theft, drug possession, and escape from custody, as well as parole violations…. (at the time he was a wanted man because he had escaped from custody.) As far as I know he has filed an appeal – but nothing more has become of the case … he is one person that isn’t worth the cost of a deer slug. (In case you wanted to know how I really feel?)

and I didn’t buy a pie – I wanted to – but I’m too cheap! I did bid – but after $150 I got out.

It’s back…

Word verification – I hate it – but I hate those unwanted comments even more. Come on people find a better way to advertise your crap – the people that read my blog – don’t really care about whatever it is that you think you are selling – and they are not going to click and go to your page. Seriously – they aren’t going to do it.

Sorry – we’ll see how long I leave the word verification up – I hate hate hate it – but, that’s how it goes sometimes… I should use something else- but don’t really have the time to do it.


Childhood is just a fairytale, so why not have superhero parents for their fairytale lives? Characters:
Me - Fantastagirl;
DH - Mr. Incredible;
DS - Pan (9);
DD - Tink (7);
