BAD DAY WARNING

Here's a lesson, some advice
To take it would be very nice
A little "S-Mom Common Sense"
Will prevent us all from getting tense
If I'm having a crappy day
Please just stay out of my way
Pokes and prods are like my itch
They turn me into a raging bitch
If I say "I'm fine" just let it be
You prying will only anger me
Yes I'm stubborn, that's ok
If you know that, what's left to say?
Just nod your head and pass me by
You won't help me so don't try
Some days I may just need to talk
or take a nap or a nice long walk
But I will do those things you see
I don't need you all over me
"Are you ok? Are you all right?"
Yes, yes yes! OK?!? Good Night!
So here it is, plain and nice......
My Tired Super Mom advice...
If I am grouchy and to myself
Like a ragged book on a crooked shelf
Just let me go or come to you
If it's the latter, here's what you do
Listen to the words I say
Listen to the tone in play
I don't need jokes, a hug or beer
Sometimes I just want your ear
When it's all said and done
Spill your jokes, let's have some fun
Bad days suck, they're like a curse
Use this here, don't make them worse



Annnnnnnnd... Scene.......     Actually from a couple days ago and never hit "Publish".... ^_^

-Super Mom

STOP CALLING ME!!!!!!!!

I cannot stand when my phone rings and it shows a number I don't know... It could be coming from another state, from the same city or, my favorite, restricted. This is how I think... If I don't have an account with your business, if we are not friends or family, if you're not from my kids' school or trying to reach MY business... DO NOT CALL ME! I used to think that getting spam in my email was horrible (it still IS) but this super spam with my cell phone is ridiculous! It's bad enough when someone we KNOW calls and there's that hesitation to hit the green button... "Do I REALLY want to do this right now...." And that's me KNOWING where the call is coming from! This is a quick run down of what I have received so far this year... Keep in mind that it's only MAY...

-Won a free cruise  (this is the captain!!!)
-Won a 3 day vacation at a resort (SWEET! ANYWHERE I want you say???)
-My credit card company needs to speak to me (that's how they say it on my VM "Your credit card company... Riiiiiiiight.)
- Calling to confirm my online college appli)cation (umm... Nope, not me.)
- Local authorities are attempting to reach you (Well.. seeing as how my husband used to be a cop HERE... not buying it)
-We heard you want to work for amazon! (shop yes, work no.)
-We heard you want to work for Walmart! (ummm......)
-Won a free cruise! (twice in one year? Get out!!!)
- Do you want to work from home and earn up to 458/hour? (it'd be nice but uh... no)
-Would you like a years subscription to People for only 20.99? (...............)
-Your credit card company needs to speak with you (Suuuuuure they do.)
- Switch to AT&T for better service! (not these guys again...)
- Your car insurance needs more information to save you money (ahhh......)
- Won a free cruise! (Three times?!?! It MUST be true!)
- Your credit card company needs to speak with you (then why don't THEY call me?)
- The IRS has filed lawsuit against you (exactly that, I didn't miss the "a" that is what they said)

That's just off the top of my head.... They are very resilient when it comes to getting through on my line. Every time I have one either call or leave a message, I immediately add it to my auto reject/block calling list. That doesn't stop them from using a new number sadly. I wonder how many people out there fall for crap like that. Like the IRS thing. The last one just happened yesterday and it went like this....... My phone rang and this number popped up 409-216-8746 from Texas. Well.... I don't really KNOW anyone in Texas and so I let it slide right to voicemail. It said "the IRS has filed lawsuit against you. Please contact our business line at 409-216-8746 for more information." Hmmm.... I call back... The guy who answered sounded eastern I guess and says "Hello, IRS can I help you?" ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Have you EVER heard of that kind of opening from them? LOL indeed! Anyway... I say.. "Hi, I just received a message about things filed against me?? But I have a quick question.."  He says.. "Ok" I say.. "Where is your office located?" He replies "Excuse me?" "Where is your office located?" I say again. "Washington DC" he says. I come back with "So you're calling me from Washington DC right now on this call?"  CLICK! He hung up! That was a little rude and hasty... So I call back.. Ring.. Ring.. Pick up, hang up. Hmmm... Ring, ring, hung up. HAHAHA! I ended up calling that number back (even with a blocked number) a total of eleven times without speaking to a human again. Then I look up where it's coming from... Right around the corner from DC.. in BEAUMONT TEXAS! I called the IRS fraud and scam hotline and apparently there are SO MANY being reported that you don't actually talk to a person. Instead you are directed to their website to fill out a form. Which I did. I sent the voice mail script and number. I then proceeded to find scam/spam websites where you can post bogus numbers and complaints. I did. And then... I sent the "IRS business phone in Washington DC" a lovely text....

 

Shockingly... I never heard from them after that... I know that there are more crazy calls yet to come and in this digital age, I don't see it STOPPING any time soon sadly. Moments like this last one though make it a LITTLE bit better. Sure THEY put a cramp in my day but if I can do it to THEM... I'll take that small victory. I hope that when your phones ring today, it is only being dialed by people you love... or at the very least, people you know! And yes, I'm hoping that for myself as well! Have a great rest of your Tuesday everyone!!!

(PS... With the roll that I'm on, I really think I can rack up ten free cruises this year!!!)

This is what happens when there's nothing to do... I'm left alone with my crazy mind and it's twisted ways.... Below are parts of songs with my twist... The name is at the top so you can get the tune going. ;) Have fun... I did.. ^_^



-My Girl-
I've got water.. soaked up in my sock...
I just walked into the bathroom... isn't that a crock...
I guess you'd say.. what could make me think this way...
MY GIRLS.... (my girls, my girls) talking bout.. My girls.... MY GIRLS!
I've got SOOOOO many toys all over the place...
And there's clothes and shoes.. what's that, on your face?!?
"OH my"... you'd say... Who could make me cringe this way?
MY GIRLS....(my girls, my girls) still talking bout.. my girls... MY GIRLS!

-Sugar Pie Honey Bunch-
Little girl, holy crap... How could you do this to me? (this to me..)
You just help yourself... and don't care about nobody else..
You ate up all my cake (ate up all my cake) And left no piece for me! (piece for me)
You're still helping yourself... I should've kept that cake anywhere else...

-Just my imagination-
It's sunny, I'm drinking sweet drinks and I'm all by myself...
There's waves and there's music, the beach baby, oh yeah, where else...
To fall asleep in the sand with a drink in my hand and no kids, what a dream...
But it was just my imagination... making fun of me...
yeah, my stupid imagination.... What a dream that would be....


-I got Chills-
I got spills! They're all over.... and I'm about to lose control...
I've got towels... but they don't use 'em.. It's real confusin....
They better get up... Up off that freaking couch!
Do I look like a French maid??
They better get up... I'm gonna lose my mind!
Why the hell don't I get paid????
"You don't get paid?" Hell no, NO I don't get paid!
Whose cleaning it up (cleaning it up now) You hoo hoo.. HONEY
Whose cleaning it up (cleaning it up now) You, YEAH YOU, honey
Whose cleaning it up (cleaning it up now) I said You..... Yes it's true.... Yes you will to!!!!!


-Sh-Boom-
What's on the floor? What's on the floor now..? Oh crap, NO! OUCH! KABOOM!
Life would be a dream... If all these legos were just burning in hell...
I stepped on three before I leaned hard and fell
Who buys these things oh no...no.. not again... KABOOM!


-Witch Doctor-
I told the therapist I could not really sleep (Boom boom boom boom)
Because a child of mine sleep walks just like a creep (Boom boom boom boom)
She said "Just close your eyes and start by counting sheep" I'm thinking..
Yeah right, sure ok... are you licensed anyway, Uh huh, really? No, screw this I'm going home!


-Ain't no mountain high enough-
Listen baby.... There's no shelf too high or hidden drawer too low...
They keep finding my snacks baby...
Instead of my brownies, my sweet chocolate brownies,  I've only got frownies cuz baby
there ain't no shelf that's high enough... ain't no cupboards deep enough.. ain't no cubby hidden enough, to keep them from getting my snacks baby!


-Hello, Hello-
There's writing on the wall... and baby that's not all..
There's paint all over all the floors..
Not sure of your kid plans... Girl it's on your hands!
Get your butt back here through this door..
Oh no! Oh no!!!!!
What the hell has happened here?!!?
Not a surprise these twitching eyes
Oh no.. Oh NO!!!!!
Oh my God it's on the couch.... I'm melting down.. here goes... Oh no..... HELL NO.



Oh yeah....... That was... something... :) Good night! -Super Mom

I just don't understand...

Good evening... I'm currently sitting on my living room floor of all places pondering what to watch before I go to bed. I just finished demolishing a fort that has taken up my entire dining room for the whole weekend, started a load of dishes and laundry and now... I'm just kinda.. here. Like I said before, I have so many stories to tell but tonight isn't going to be the opening of all that. As I sit here with my ass getting gradually numb, I'm stuck wondering about things that I really shouldn't care about. Maybe I should.. I'm not heartless after all, despite what you may have heard... I don't even want to get into specifics really because it gets to be BEYOND EXHAUSTING. My main thing here is that I don't understand how some friendships can be so complete and wonderful on one side and readily disposable on the other. It's a little ridiculous. I don't want to stereotype but I'm going to break down what the perfect friend would be to me. I'm a girl. Being a girl, I'm predisposed to ALL THINGS GIRL including it's ridiculous rules, politics, blah, blah, BLAH. It's crazy. Ok, when I was little I had all kinds of friends, especially girls. I was friendly and sassy, outgoing and very adaptable. I changed schools a couple times and thankfully never felt the horrific tension of finding new friends. It just happened. As I got older, mid teens-ish, I started hanging out with both guys and girls. Of course I had to start being rude or obnoxious to the That's crazy huh? Once you figure out who the people are, it's not that hard to go with the flow and have good times but FINDING those specific people... yikes.. that's the rough part. When I started working I met my first gay guy friend.. Brandon. It was then I had found a true best of both worlds friend. Obviously I didn't have to worry about him wanting to date me because I lacked what he liked. CHECK. We could talk about anything from vacations, clothes, cars, clubs, jewelry.... ANYTHING. CHECK! He didn't hang around my normal friends so I could say whatever I wanted and he'd join right in like he knew what I was talking about. I miss him so much. When I moved away we spoke less than usual and when he ended up relocating... we haven't spoken in a very long time... :( Sadly, I tried comparing my remaining friendships to that. They didn't really come close. There were too many holes in the others... And when you piss one off, they flock to the others and then there's a whole gang of bitches bad mouthing you. Being a girl is exhausting... After some more years of fading long distance friend-sinks, I realized that I didn't need a group... I just needed one and if I was really lucky, two. If I could've read my stories before, I would've been able to see that I am very much NOT lucky...
           I met two girls (among others) while working at a horrible place (not a strip club, worse... RETAIL!) I had eventually become close with both of them. One was a few years younger than me but still shared many similarities while the other was closer to my age and had a lot in common as well. They are what made going to work fun. Then we started hanging out outside of work and years went by. I loved them both. I would've done anything for them. I did do things too as they did for me. We could go a while without speaking or hanging out and when we were able to get together, it would be like there was no gap. One of them has a fiancé I haven't really been that fond of. (If you read the story "Small minded judgments...." you know who I'm talking about......) He's just very... old fashioned? I could be here for a while describing him in my image but I'm not going to! Short side of it... I don't care for him just as he doesn't for me. That's fine! I'm friends with HER not him. Totally fine with that. Except...... She's been at school and work, she had a baby last year and has a wedding coming up and new friends... I get that you can have convenient people in your life. Those are people you see everyday at work or something and if they're tolerable, why wouldn't you be friends? If not anything else, it helps the time go by if you have someone to relate with or talk to. THAT'S HOW WE MET. I just never thought that I was so disposable..... It is May 8th and I have seen her twice this year... Once was the beginning of February when I took her daughters baby pictures... the second was in March when she took me out to my birthday dinner... I was told that I was wanted to be in her wedding instead of shooting it... after asking "are you SURE.." several times, I was comforted when she said yes... And even though her man isn't someone I would've picked out of a catalog for her, it is HER man. Nobody said I couldn't make fun of him here and there.. Especially since he has had PLENTY to say about my... attitude... tattoos... piercings... "way of life"? Yeah.. So if he can say all that, surely I can throw out a few zingers here and there with no fear of repercussions right? WRONG! At the birthday dinner, as usual, I had a few things to say about his choices. JOKES people. And to wrap it up, I am now no longer in the wedding. Things have been weird between us since her baby was born. She had insinuated that I would be able to take pictures when the baby was born in the room (only because I let her in my hospital room when my latest daughter was born) all the way up until WEEKS before she went in. I found out on FB that the baby had been born... no word before or anything..... Not even a "NO". God that pisses me off. Instead of treating me like an adult and giving me an answer straight out, she drags it on and on and then just... Stops. Things have been tense but I had apologized and did the whole girl friend thing to make it all better. Apparently not. Remember when I said girls hold onto shit... Yup. I learned a few years ago that if it's done, let it be done otherwise it will break you down and rip you apart. So anyway, she was still holding resentment towards me and my little jokes were the icing on the cake. She asked me if I would be ok with being just a guest at the wedding instead of being in it... Hmmm... No.. probably not... Then I would get to sit there, watch the photographer do what I could be doing or watch the bridesmaids and remember that I was asked to be up there too... Yeah no F***ing thanks "friend". Of course, the new work and school friends are all in it. I just don't get it... When I find a friend that's worth being a good friend of mine, I don't treat that like a joke. I put my heart into it. It's really messed up how one sided things can be even if at times they seem to be the same... I don't see us rekindling things any time soon.... It's confusing and exhausting like I said.. I can't always be the one to try to fix things if I'm the only one who wants them fixed. Period. But... I did say I had two, at one time anyway. I still have one. She is amazing. In all honesty, she's probably a better friend than even Brandon! We're there for each other.. That's a good feeling. She's even listened to me talk about all of this drama and she (thankfully) will STILL answer my calls! THAT'S a friend. My best friend. :) Very thankful for her and very hurt by the other. If you have that one true friend, you are lucky... Don't forget it! Because you never know when things could change.. forever... On a positive ending note- tomorrow is Monday!!!!! Oh wait... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! ;) -Super Mom

11 seconds of mom faces

Mom faces... a few anyway... 11 seconds worth..... :)

I have to thank you.... and apologize.....

Hello out there to all of you who are still clicking on my stories, photos and drawings each day. Each click gets back to me and lets me know that there are people who actually WANT to hear and see and read what goes on inside my crazy ass world and HONEY........ I am backed up on craziness!!!! It's only May and these are just a few of the crazy things going on.... I have been bitten, had an over-planned to the max not so dream vacation, received wrong orders, used ROLLS of duct tape to attempt to fix a leak, I was asked in a pretty underhanded way if I would be ok with NO longer being in a wedding that I was assured I was wanted in, weird ass dreams (which aren't really NEW but still, they're coming!), a trip in the works with myself and 3 kids without my husband, the possible launch of selling my own home made board games and several other things........ Some nights I come in after a long freaking day and grab my laptop, open this window with every intention of starting one of THOSE stories and I end up getting pissed or exhausted and quietly close the computer before going to bed or slaying some zombies... (xbox style.. you might not get it... and if you DO get it you're welcome to join me! DeadlyAngel945) I have been a ghost on here it's true and I feel really bad about that especially when I DO have SO MUCH TO WRITE ABOUT!!!!!! At the moment though, with shoots on the weekend and school about to end, life is just kicking my ass a little bit more than usual. I did receive a notification though that is pretty interesting.......... OVER 4,000 VIEWS AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!!! I get that in cyber land that number is like a joke.... but even if it was only one person reading a story 4,000 times... I'd be impressed... I'm even more impressed because unless that one person changes countries every DAY, then it's actually a bunch of people. So to all of YOU... THANK YOU! You may or may not relate to what my crazy ass has to say, you may just get on here for a laugh... Whatever it is that gets you to THIS page... Thank you. Honestly. I'm lingering on the possibility of starting my own YouTube channel for quick day blurbs and shout out purposes... Not sure how that one's going to go yet... I'll let you know! I'm sorry for being so ghost like..... I'll get better!!!!! Happy(ish) Thursday all you wonderful souls!!!!!!!!!!!! -Super Mom
