Why am I so angry?



I had a rough day today, well actually it was not too bad until my children started to become waaaaay too much for me to handle, behavior wise. I have one ADHD child with NO meds and a tot who will be 2 in Oct.!

To make a loooooong story short, it was like 103 degrees today in Houston and our air conditioner has not been working right since we moved in...5 years ago!

I bathed the kids and the hubby actually helped...well he sat in the bedroom while my daughter took a shower...you know to listen out for her, while I bathed Bean in the other bath tub.

All set, everyone is bathed and cooled off for sleepy time. I get the kids settled in the room reading books and goofing off, and I rush to the kitchen for something to drink. I wanted lemonade sooooo bad! We dont have lemonade, but we have lemons!! I squeeze 5 lemons, add ice and water, and go to add the SUGAR! Wait...WHERE THE HELL IS THE SUGAR??!! Okay, I know we have some, because I spend just about every morning cleaning it up from the hubbys morning coffee.

Me (in the kitchen) : "Babe where is the SUGAR?"

The Warden (in the living room) : "Oh, I dropped it the other day."

Me: "What do you mean you dropped it?" (You motha....)

The Warden: "you know, like on the floor, it fell off the counter."

Me: "GOT DAMN IT!" (URGH!! F_cking bleep, bleeep, bleeeeeep!!)

The Warden: "What?"

Me: "I just squeezed 5 f_cking lemons and now you are telling me we have no SUGAR?! We always have SUGAR!" (Blood boiling! I am about to freaking kill you...gonna "Snap" just like the show)

The Warden: "Sorry" <---in his annoying, not really sorry voice.
Breathe...

I proceeded to see if I could find anything that could satisfy the SUGAR need for the lemonade, tiny packets? Anything? Nothing.

I threw, with incredible force I might add, the cup of lemonade in the sink, and stormed passed the hubby to my bed to write this post! Hey how else am I going to keep from going postal? You are my therapy biotches! No, im not freaking paying you hooker!

Hubby comes in later and says, "do you want me to go and buy you some sugar?" <---in his sincere voice. (I love my hunny!) <---I know, totally bipolar right?! What the hell just sent me off the deep end?! Im such a freak.


Me: "No, its okay, its not your fault, well technically it is (you know I had to go there), but I should not have gotten so mad about that...I just really wanted that lemonade."


because im a post wh_re!

Because I must share all the time, even when I don't have a topic in mind, here I am. Sharing nothing. Crap! Think. Think. Think.

Oh yeah, is it weird that I am bummed about all of the (what I think is too early) "Back to School" retail campaigns? I must be a weirdo. I am thinking, WTF? Cant these kids relax until its actually time to return to school? I mean, I have been seeing this crap since mid July!

Personally it stresses the crap out of me! (you're shocked that I am stressed right?)

I am always messing things up during the school year and it only serves to remind me that sometimes I still have no idea what I am doing. I hate getting up at the crack of dawn. I hate having to drag my 8 year old out of bed, when I too secretly would kill to crawl back under the sheets.

In terms of getting up in the morning, I have this love hate relationship with my cell phone since it functions also as my alarm clock. I think I turn it off while in a zombie sleep state, and then return to sleep. That can be the only explanation! Either that, or some little creature hiding under my bed comes out to make sure he sabotages my morning by pushing the "ok" button on my alarm, indicating no more need for alarming. I think I like the second one better.

I always forget to check my kids backpack every day and get pissed when something goes on at school and I didn't know about it. Ha! Only to get home and see that the flyer with the information was in the pile of school papers I had labeled as "need to go through." Play it off, play it off.

So, how do you get your kids psyched up about something that you yourself would hate to do? It is so hard to be positive about going to school every day when, lets face it, its freaking boring. Don't get me wrong, I love education and school. I just hate elementary style teachings of the same crap everyday. I have seriously considered home schooling to help my child learn in a way thats not boring or under stimulating. I think I will start my own school and call it Escuela de Free2bMommy.

What is this all about? I don't freaking know, but I feel better having typed it.

Okay yall, I dont usually do sponsored posts unless its a product that I have actually tried and love! I am nooooo poser! haha!



When my son was having irritation on his bottom due to "stomach problems," I would grab any diaper ointment and spread it on. He would scream in pain! I was not sure why, so I called the doctor, and he explained that many diaper creams contain too much of a certain ingredient that actually irritates the skin. He suggested Boudreaux's Butt Paste. Huh? So, I ran out and bought some, and as soon as I used it on my son, I noticed an immediate difference. Not only did he no longer scream in pain, but the rash cleared up over night. It is all I use now, and all I tell my gall pals with kids to use! You can get a free sample at Boudreaux's Butt Paste

Mean B_tch Monday - The devil made me type it.


Okay, so in case you have been living under a rock (loser) or never read my blog on Mondays, CLICK HERE to prevent me embarrassing the shit out of you...only proceed once you fully understand....I wont be held responsible for any hurt feelings...continue at your own risk.


Dear bla, bla, bla...


You know how we all have a little angel on our shoulder and a little devil on the other to advise us on how to be good people and do the right thing bla bla bla? Yes? Okay, well you know how we are not suppose to listen to the little devil, but sometimes we would love to share what he advises us to say rather then the boring little angel? (Come on! Be honest!) I decided that I would say some of these things for you during this weeks Mean Bitch Monday moment. Feel free to add your own in the comments.
Again, all of the "characters" in my posts are based on fictional "types" of people and not real individuals themselves, so don't go all crazy girlfriend on me thinking I'm talking about you...that's just sad.


To Mrs. female boss at work who makes all woman professionals look bad...

I know that you are really excited to have this "powerful" position and being the self proclaimed "Queen Bee," but let me let you in on a little secret...no one really give a shit, but you. No one respects you, because all you do is try to scare people into doing what you want them to do. You are unprofessional, petty, and a horrible example of leadership. The fact that you are so incredibly petty about things and quick to get offended by any other females with talent, makes you look like a stupid pathetic bitch. It is because of people like you that woman get labeled as being too emotional, bitchy, petty, and unprofessional for the workplace. Do your job, that you are are so incredibly lucky to have and leave the insecurities at home. I know you don't know what the hell you are doing, but we can pretend for now that you do. <--insert snotty face here.


To Mr/Ms. Road Rager...

What the hell makes you think that where ever you need to go is any more important then anyone else's destination? Does it give you secret gratification to think you are being a "badass," for being a freeway bully? I think its hilarious that you get so worked up over ridiculous crap such as driving. HAHAHA!! <---this is me laughing and pointing at you. I think that it is gut busting that you will be rude in the car and discourteous, yet when we get to the stop light, you wont even look my way. WTF is that all about? I am not confrontational, but I don't start things that I don't intend to finish. Note to the wise: Don't do anything in your car that you would not be willing to do in person. <----I am so freaking gangster!!


To the girl who "just doesn't like me and doesn't know why"

What? You were an idiot when we were kids and you will always be, an idiot. But keep talking, you are making me famous!! Somebody is FABULOUS!! <--strutting biotches!


To the Selfish gal pal...

Not to say that my life is busier then yours, but, my life is busier then yours. You are a single girl, and expect me to be your friend when you don't even take a moment to show interest in my life or show up for something that was very important to me? Would it have hurt so bad to swing by or at least call? Why have friends become to damn self centered and selfish? When did that happen? I am so naive.


To all the people who only read my posts to be creepy hate stalkers that don't really like me...and I know you are there....

Dude, I don't discriminate who my readers are, but you are a fulgy loser...now go away. hahaha! <----me rolling on the ground laughing at you!!

Whoooo! Okay going back to the sweet Free2bMommy...yeah right!
Until next week friends!
