How to Piss Off Your Mother (A Field Guide)

This is my version of the many way to piss off ones Mother and they are as follows:

-Begin in Early Childhood by doing "Half-Ass Jobs" forcing her to re-do whatever you had already done.
-Hide Information about the whereabouts of the other parental unit after the Divorce.
-Cover for other parental unit when H&W comes to interview you.
-Stay in California with Brother and Other Parental Unit.
-Come back to live with mother and then do not return after summer Visitation for various and terrible reasons
-Marry the Idiot with the Insanely Huge Family that Knocked you up at 18.
-Join the LDS church
-Divorce the Idiot that caused you to practically live at your mothers house for the last 3 years and then Promptly Dissappear from her view.
-Start seeing your neighbor that stole from you and has a record of speeding tickets ect. the size of Wisconsin.
-Attend above mentioned persons family functions and blow off your plans to take care of his kids therefore once again pissing off Mother causing her to call and Ask for he money now, and say " I am so glad that I paid to not see you ever again."

Then make the mistake of saying you cannot do both things thereby making Mother more upset. Mother Hangs Up-You call mother Back and ask her what time the White Island event of the Century is going on to which she responds, "Why Do you Care?" Salving the situation seems mostly impossible at this point-Perhaps I should just send her a check in the Mail, or make different plans. This whole me not being around for holidays is not new news though, I have been Holidaying Myself out with the Ridley clan for years and now it is a BIG BAD THING. She is going to DisOwn Me when I go to Utah for Christmas, I think I will drop that bomb later.

Almost as Big as the Watergate Incident....

KELLY HAS BEEN DIVORCED SINCE NOVEMBER 18th!!!!!!!!!!! What that actually means now is a little unknown and unnerving-I think there needs to be a sequence of events in a particular order though eventually, or I need to do something different, I do not want it to be assumed that I will be something I have not been asked to be.

So, Liandra got the kids back today for only about 24 hrs though-she has some court thing so they will be back here at 9 am tomarrow which is Ok. It is a little wierd not having them here because I am used to being over-loaded now...I have a few other thoughts rummaging around in my head but nothing really important. Kelly and I are doing well-I continue to pray both in thanks and in asking. The asking is mostly for wisdom and patience and for Aj to know God and that Kelly will continue to grown in his walk and that I can be a servant to God. And the thanking is for Everything-I am trying to be grateful for what I have and even out all the "asking" with more "thankfulness".

This is the Story of a-Girl....

So, what have I accomplished today you ask?? Well, I will haev you know I marshmello-fied my brownies I baked yesterday that Kelly took a hunk out of, after we sucked all the water out of the house. Oh yeah, that-Uh-WELL......So this Pipe that was coupleed together for the Washing machine Blew apart at like 4 pm yesterday and I have no idea where the Shut off is...Yeah it was cool- The kids thought it was the Apocalypse and those who didn't were Dancing in it. It was Awesome I think I swore enough for all of next year in about 15 minutes. Thankfully Super Kelly works like down the road(well, not really) But I called and he came skidding into the driveway with his work truck Jumped under the house and saved us all. Who can't love a guy like that??!! And then he actually helped me clean it up! So that was pretty cool in a anything that can happen that has to do with water will happen in this house kind of way. I am glad I had a conveniently located person who happens to know the underside of the house and wears a flashlight on thier head. haha.

So back today-The kids and I danced to oldies, did puzzles, hada pancake brunch and now are watching...WALL-E. YAY!!!!!! I have a daycare training tonight that I need to call on, and I really want to go to the Twilight movie but I am a little scared of myself for wanting to so badly...I have a problem.

Hey hey

You know, communication is good. So is being important enough to make someone change thier direction. YAY

The Strange Sinking Feeling

I feel removed. Like the Kelly thing is disappating and I am falling into the same futile pattern of circles of life. Except this time I have no control over it, and in fact it makes me sad.


"And it's amazing with that look in your eye that you could save me...and it I told you I was sorry would you tell me you were wrong? Would you hold me down forever if I looked to you for Answers? And I saw pictures in my head and I swear I saw you opening up again, and I would be heavenly if you would just rescue me now, and the days are just drifting by, and I am just burning through everything..."

God is God.

This amazing thing happened yesterday, we (kelly and I) went to our separate churches and I felt the wholeness I have been missing (spiritually) during the church tour bonanza. However when I got home at 11 and was alone I was a little unnerved so I popped in my Tabernacle Choir Cd and kept up the good vibrations while I strated some rolls and did some laundry ect. BTW I think it was good for my kids to be back at our church as a little unit of 3 like before, I am glad to be able to have that time with them. So, when 1 ish rolled around and I who was unsure if he went to the Light house or not was wondering if I has pissed him off by actually leaving at 8 am and going my own way. But, he came back with Hot Fudge Sundaes for all and in a creepily good mood compared to how angry he usually is about me going to my church. He said that the lesson was being not a FLOATER and being part of a CHURCH. Also about being ONE IN CHRIST. Apparently that all helped him and made him feel better about all of this, that and he said he was glad to have someone to come home to even if we went our separate ways. He said he has found his church. yay. Of course it has to be the most ANTI church around. So, yes we still go to night church at the river together but it is good and well with my soul to be alone with my children and with God on Sundays. This whole thing made me entirely happy and over flowing with Joy because I have been praying for Kelly to be softened and to find his place. I am happy for him, I am happy for me, and I am so Thankful to God. I feel sometimes like I have been given certain people in my life, friends who feed me-like Heidi, and others who help me along the way to stay strong and immovable or otherwise just not drift all too far. As for Kelly, it makes me happy to watch him grow in Christ and gain more knowledge of his ministry and of the Bible-It's like watching a baby crawl, and just make s me want to smile. I am so grateful and so thankful just to watch and just to have the understanding of Christ and of the Gospel in my life. I am so happy to be found.

"Where did all the Good People Go?"

I have not updated this for a bit, Kelly and I are doing well, after all the crap that has been circulating around My choice for a AM church he has given up and decided that he will try really hard to not be a raunch about it because God would not want him to be this way, even if he hates the church for no apparent reason other than his own issues. So YAY! Not that I needed permission but it makes me more comfortable if I am not causing so much tension. I met AJ's new girlfriend who did not remove herself from the couch, and I think they MATCH. They both seem simple and they would look good together. I hope she is nice and takes good care of him and stick around so my kids stop going to random womens houses 3 days a week. I love the fact that I am still with the same guy, and that we are so well suited to one another-Sure we butt heads but I think this is what healthy looks like for the most part and it is great that it does not revolve around sex and all that junk at all, it for the most part revolves around God and Christ (we read scriptures together everyday and go to church together), being a fun and solid combined familiy unit, and being partners and friends. However I am not one to just be a ball of I LOVE YOU gobbldygook these days so that is something that is a speed bump for us because his Language is Affirmations verbally and physically like hugging and such, being told that he is cared for, while my Language is Knowing I am OK and Doing things like taking care of physical needs, IE cooking, cleaning, ect. YES YES I know that it is still something that started at a bad time but I really do think God puts people in our lives for a reason, and if Kelly is here to help me learn something, or if he is here to Be a Life Partner in Christ then so be it, this is all in Gods Hands-Even if Obama is President.
