cats, dogs, chickens, husbands, kids, poop and a motorcycle, oh my!

I have to be the most patient understanding wife alive. all my animals i've talked about..my son.. my husband who happens to be high maintenance, probably worse than me;) and now i've managed to somehow walked into a house thats sorta turned into a garage shop. in my living room, I happen to have a motorcycle thats all torn apart. my husband managed to somehow convince me to help him push his motorcycle into the house, and now all these parts and pieces and stuff is scattered around the living room. so i have cats and dogs and chickens and a son and a husband with all of his motorcycle bits and pieces, and chicken poop. *sigh*

i'm a grandma of unhatchable eggs!

is it illogical of me to be proud that my hen has started laying eggs? I have a hen.. after months of thinking I had a rooster. Mork is now a Morkette, she has started laying eggs. two so far in the house, one in her coop outside..it may explain her irrational behavior at the coop, she cannot stand to be there anymore and thinks she owns our house. we were told she was a rooster. ive read a few stories on the internet about if a mate dies, sometimes the left behind chicken can change sex..so who knows? im obsessed with the eggs..i spent most of my night last night speculating on when she would lay another egg, looking at her butt..i think she knew it too cause if she saw me, she'd automatically turn her behind to me. she didn't lay it until about midmorning this morning then started making horrible racket afterwards.. jesse and i were like holy cow! but I guess if someone had to push a egg out of a tiny hole that you usually use to go to the bathroom you'd be yelling in relief too after it came out.

im stephenless for a few days! my aunt's best friend, who is much like a honorary aunt to me, has taken him off my hands. her family is down and they have a five year old girl for stephen to play with, and a pool..so im sure he will have a nice time..and its a nice little breather for me. I love him, but sometimes he's way too much like me, we butt heads a lot.

other than that..all is quiet on the homefront. jesse and I have reached a peaceful point. its still a little tense, im not as quick to forgive and forget this time, probably best if i dont anyways. but at least we are on the right track

rambling

its been a lazy weekend. Our schedules are exteremly messed up right now. Jesse works second shift, which is from 2-11, by the time he gets home showers and we get to bed and sleep, its really late, im all screwed up as far as how early to go to bed and how early to get up. this weekend was nuts cause I ended up staying up all night for like, two nights. then with stephen getting up i didn't really sleep at all during the day. today i finally got some sleep, except because of the fact that I slept all day, ill be up all night now. and because the library had the nerve to be closed today, I don't have any new movies to watch, so i get to blog and play games on facebook and read books. I finished my puzzle last night, 1000 piece panoramic puzzle. I wanted to go buy one today but $$ is really tight.

my foot hurts. back in 9th grade I had a plantars wart, it ended up being surgically removed. since then its come back two-three times. I really hope that it didn't come back again, them things HURT. I hope I just stepped on it wrong and its bruised.

We have a chicken. we have two dogs, 4 cats, 1 fish and a chicken. this chicken, whom I call Mork..(sometimes I call my entire brood Morky Mork and the funky bunch) Mork had a companion chicken we called Mindy, she had an accident and drowned in our kiddie pool. Since then I've felt so bad for mork, he's so lonely, so I actually petted him, and we warmed up to each other..it started off with him laying on me constantly while I petted him, then he graduated to my shoulder..eventually worming his way into the house now and then. we are now at the point where he thinks he's entitled to staying in the house 24/7. he's not into being petted much and all of the animals have warmed up to each other. Mork will get LOUD if we DARE attempt to take him back outside to his pen. so if you ever come over to visit, careful where you step, because we have a chicken that struts around the house. its actually pretty cool, he eats everything, so all of the crumbs that the animals leave on the ground from their food, or my five year old's crumbs. he eats bugs so if we have a ant or flea or something he will eat it. sometimes ill walk around the house and see mork strutting around, and im like..wtf? we have a frickin CHICKEN in our house. who has a pet chicken? I can't think of too many people who have pet chickens.

I also have four cats, my oldest Duke recently passed away, so my brood as gone from 5 cats to 4. they are around. moms cat Jake is a fairly recent addition to the house..Jake is having a very hard time adjusting, and with all the animals here I can see why. I feel bad for him, but at least he's eating sometimes. my kitten, Leon, I got him for mothers day, he's a terror..typical kitten energy, but he's totally mine, I will be the ultimate cat lady when im 90 years old.

I have two dogs..a pit bull sweetheart Candy..total sweetie..she puts up with everything, the kitten the new puppy, the chicken..stephen, and just takes it. sometimes when its too much and she's getting beat up on, she'll come over to me and put her head on me or start nibbling my hand asking me to help her. and shes loyal, I don't think i've ever had a more loyal dog in my life. when duke passed away, I was devastated, I was so sad, along with guilty about the death..it took a lot out of me, please Jesse and I were fighting, and all sorts of bad things were happening one after the other, so I was crying and a total mess, talk about mental breakdown. anyways so while i was blubbering, Candy would NOT leave my side. if I started to cry, shed put her head on my shoulder or lick my tears. she really is the best dog ever. I also just got a new puppy. the puppy was stephens for a while, until stephen realized he was the one to pick up poop piles if theres an accident. but the puppy is really good at going outside. her name is Coco. Sometimes stephen can be a little rough with her, so she's more inclined to spend time with me. Shes going to be a HUGE dog. shes got a lot of big breeds in her. shes a total mutt..jesse told me all that she has in here but I can't remember some of it. Great Dane is one of them. shes a cutie tho, brown with some white stripes around her head, and the prettiest blue eyes.

and a fish..Wall-E. its a beta fish we got for 2 bucks at walmart (hence the name..plus its one of the movies stephen likes) thats one of the easiest animals we have to take care of.

and so I pretty much live on a farm in a suburban rural area. I draw the line at having any other animals though.

we're renting a house..its pretty cheap and totally worth the effort..three bedroom two bath, garage fenced in back yard, and a shed. its pretty big.. its run down though, its an older house, and the landlord thinks that the idea of "fixing" things, is duct tape and cardboard boxes. but its home. its a bit out of the way, and not anywhere near any of my friends and family, so sometimes I feel like im isolated, and I miss a lot of the functions and parties my friends have. I hate that I miss them, I just don't have the gas money to go 25-50 miles away to and from. it stinks.

and my mom is a million miles away, she lives in indiana..you just have no idea how much I miss her. there isn't too much I can say about that right now other than it just plain sucks. i miss her:(

most of the rest of my family is here in florida..I see my dad now and then when he picks up stephen but I dont really see the rest of them..distance and money and lack of communication. some of them im a little upset with for various reasons. and some of them, lets just say that jesse and I, when we got married we sent out announcements and we got cards and congrats from a lot of his family..I didnt get a single thing from anything in my family, not really even a phone call..i got one from my aunt and grandma in oviedo area, but thats about it..it sucks. family should be supportive no matter what, right? hrm. but whatever.

sometimes, with all that is going on, and how hectic my life is, and how many negative things seem to be happening, its hard to keep a positive outlook, sometimes I think it might just be better if we took a map, got a dart and threw it, and moved..maybe a fresh start is something that we need, our financial problems will follow us, but there has to be something better than whats been going on around here lately.

im jumping subjects a lot, i feel like i have way too much on my mind and no outlets to really let them go on, and its always been relaxing to type or handwrite a journal type thing, a lot of times the online blogging has gotten me in big trouble, but its relaxing.

ok well i have mystery gifts to go collect and open in farmville, and then i want to go lay down and read and hopefully get sleepy to go to sleep. night all

The Library

I don't know how many people utilize the library out there, but Stephen and I have been become quite the library patrons we go every day.. he received his first library card. for a while there we would go to the Oak Hill library, its so tiny that it could fit in my living room. the ladies that work there are awesome and know us by name, and they have regular puppet shows and events. lately we've been going to the new smyrna library, its bigger. If I had the gas money I'd go to daytona. you can check out up to 25 items. 5 movies. and usually the library has brand new movies out. instead of paying 4.99 or whatever for blockbuster, we go to the library, and if theres a certain movie that is coming out, I can make it to the oak hill library and get it the day its released. me being a book lover, i tend to make the 25 limit. stephen goes crazy over the movies and the learning toys they have. they are little backpacks with games and toys in it. he loves them. and he thinks hes hot stuff walking around with a library card.

my latest obsession..I checked out season 1 disc 1 of The Closer.. man lemme tell you.. I absolutely LOVE that show. its the greatest show next to CSI las vegas and Law and Order SVU. its awesome. im on the fourth season, unfortunately thats the last season available at new smyrna beach library. ill have to figure out what next.

im told I tend to hide in books/movies when things get a little rough emotionally. I do..but thats not the only reason i like to read. i've read my entire life just about, for as long as I can remember i've had a book in my hand. ive been checking out books like crazy at the library too..sometimes i dont always get to read them and i have to return them but the library is awesome for books, obviously. I was thinking about it today as i was browsing the new releases. I know people like to buy certain books and keep them in their library, but sometimes it makes no sense to me why someone would spend 18-20 bucks on a hardback book, or 5-7 bucks on a softback book when they can simply go to the library, have the book for a month, and its free?

and the cool thing, every member of your family can have a library card..so if your husband, you and your kid get a library card, thats 75 things you can check out:P 15 movies:) for free! calculate all that as if you were spending the money and see how much money you save.

Hey there!

I used to blog nonstop on myspace. But I stopped..today in every effort to avoid cleaning, I decided to sit at the computer and "clean" my bookmarks. Recently my muchloved and muchused laptop took a dive and stopped working, so now Im using my much older desktop, its slow as molasses and the internet cuts in and out, but at least it feeds my addiction. my addiction you ask? mafia wars and frontierville and farmville on facebook *roll eyes* i know, im one giant dork. but technically im a stay at home mom to a five year old..those games are my brain dead way to have some piece and quiet. anyways so cleaning my bookmarks, I used to read other peoples blogs, I went in each of them, one out of 15 are still being used. I felt a inkling to start a blog. I don't know that I will keep up with it, but eh. I used to have readers on myspace, maybe someone will stumble on my blog and read? I don't know. I read somewhere that the blog craze is kind of fading into oblivion, who knows. if anything this can be a way to sit down and type and look busy without being busy.

so.. my name is Kim, im a mom of a five year old pain in the butt..Stephen, whom is the love of my life. He's a chatterbox who loves arguing..if you tell him the sky is blue he will argue to his dying breath how its red, and give you this long winding (often very confusing) history regarding why the sky is red. I figure he's going to either be a lawyer, or something that involves talking..newscaster maybe.. or quite possibly a mechanic..cause often words come out of his mouth such as "mommy! i blew a HUGE gasket!" when he told me that..he was going to the bathroom. after I heard that I had to clean up the mess my mouth made on the wall when i was sipping my dr pepper.

so back to me. I'm a not-quite 30 year old girl, currently unemployed..lost my job recently and collect unemployment. I decided to not actively seek work until stephen goes to school, daycare is toooo much money. I married a guy named Jesse on May 2, 2010. He's my very pain in the butt love of my life, I often ask myself why is he so nuts, but I haven't figured out why yet. maybe in the next 20 years I will? I don't know. I am crazy about him though, as wierd as he is;)

I am also a magnet for drama. People tell me often "if you didn't have bad luck, you wouldn't have any luck at all" so true. I'm waiting for one single day of my life to come with good news or no drama. especially lately. the past year for me has been absolute hell. and it doesnt seem to be slowing down any time soon. So I'm figuring this blog might be a venting point as well. I don't ask for drama, I don't ask for attention, I don't ask for all of this, it just happens. I know the internet isn't as private as some may think, but if I can't vent negative stuff, I'll end up holding it inside of me, until I blow up.

I think i've put off cleaning long enough. I've done a lot today, cleaned out the closet in the living room, laundry, cleaned stephens room, the computer room, my bookmarks on the computer, the cat litter, swept up the living room, and some other stuff. I'll blog more later, hopefully I won't forget that I started this blog.
