So - (12-28-09)

This is one of my favorites...  Too funny!

Yesterday Jeff & I cleaned cleaned cleaned this house!!!  Some major cleaning we do when all the kids are gone - too hard to do it with them always right there! LoL
When we were done we had to go get a few walmart neccessities - then we came home and had dinner & got in bed to watch tv.  We were both asleep by 8ish.  AND we were both up at 2am not able to sleep!!!!!!  UGH!!!!  So I got out my painting magazines/books & got made some plans for painting some things - we had some coffee - watched some Hogan Knows Best or whatever it is called - laughed at the rapping commercials for the ShamWow & some chopper thing - then fell back asleep after 6 & back up at around 7:30!!! 
Who does that - ok mom we know you do - that must be it - this nut didn't fall far from the tree!!!!!!!
LoL
We both are working today - and tonight we are going to go eat at Red Lobster - Heath (Jeff's brother in law) came back from Amarillo with gifts from his mom - gift cards!  One for Reb Lobster, 2 Applebees, 1 Bass Pro & one that can be used at Red Lobster or Olive Garden.  I love Red Lobster but don't eat there  because of the prices!!!  UMMMMM - cheddar biscuits!!!!!!  I will not be eating today - save all that room for biscuits!!!!
Dad is signing his lease for his apartment at 11 - YEA!!!! 
Love you all - Vaness

Sounds about like the crazy crap I have been doing. I never go to sleep by 8 but I am always staying up until 2 or 3 am and sleeping half the day away. Yesterday, I slept till 10 then was back asleep at noon until about 230. Last night I took a sleeping pill so I could get to sleep at a decent hour. I was asleep before 10 but up at 730. I gotta tell ya something, I dont feel like I miss out on anything by sleeping late. Although, I have to get back into a routine. One week from today and I go back to work at a normal job again. UGG. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again and working again, just not getting up at 5 am.

I personally hate sleeping late - it makes me feel like I have lost a whole day!  We are always up early - between 6 & 7 everyday.  I don't mind it - we go to bed anywhere from 9 to 11 usually.

Oh you girls!  I'm so busy this morning that I haven't read any of these emails - but I'm anticipating Sister or Hedder doing something really embarrassing that will continue to live on in infamy!

keep anticipating - it is not going to happen or at least won't be told!!!!!

 
Well Leslie, I have a pretty innocent day planned. We are getting ready to head out and pick up a cell phone for Jim's mom. Then we are going to run by the nursing home and drop it off to her along with her other Christmas gifts. Since we had the snow storm of the century here, she didn't get to come over for Christmas. I figure, as long as I don't hold my bladder for to long, it should be a pretty normal day.

Hedder said the same thing, she will never tell....Les, what do you think about that! Looks like you and I are the only ones that in it for fun. I still believe their day will come when least expected and we will be unmerciful. Love you all

Why would you not share with us?!?!  We share with you!
 

Yea, you tell em Les!

Ummm safety in silence!!!!
LoL

Oh well - I might tell - but the thing is that I don't do embarrassing things!  LoL - takes a lot actually to embarrass me! 
Mom - how are the cocks & their chicks???
LoL - sorry - but it is funny!!!!! 

Girls, not sure what makes me feel compelled to tell you this but I am horny this morning.

Ok I am laughing my hiney off now - maybe the cock comment came at the wrong time!!!!!!!!

I read mom's before I read your's.  Oh too funny!

She must have been reading my mind. I wrote it before I got hers.

I think it has do with the beauty of the snow. It is romantic.

You said horny - not romantic!

How can you find this COLD, DIRTY snow, romantic?

That's true, big different. Don't know what I was thinking. Just give me a few minutes and it will pass.

LMAO... This just got really interesting! Tilda, surely you havent been in the nature shower!! I know what I should have gotten you for Christmas! I should have shopped at Christy's Toy Box

Good thing you didn't, already have one.

Ahahahahahaha!!

Tilda- I am not sure why you actually send that stuff in email. You know, if it gets to interesting, Leslie is posting it on her blog!

Wow - I got in the shower & this conversation got deeper without ME involved!!!
Mom - we watched a movie not to long ago - the new term for masturbation - don't know why I am compelled to tell you this (LoL) - is flicking the bean! 
And as far as already having one - the commercials around here for Christie's Toy Box says they are doing a Cash For Clunkers promotion - bring your old one in for a new one!!!  Now this makes me extremely happy not to be working THERE!!!!  Can you imagine being the ONE that is at the counter with the 'clunkers' are handed over??????   Now that should be on that show 'Dirtiest Jobs'!!!!!!!!!

Yes Heather - I do see a new blog entry coming up!!!!!!
 

I am laughing my butt of and my whole family is wanting to know what is so funny.

I have to laugh at these at work!  My co-workers think I'm NUTS!
Although, (as we often say) the nut doesn't fall far from the tree.

don't you love those conversations that make you laugh out loud & people are around & you know you just CAN'T tell them - but there is no stopping the laughter!!!
Mom got quiet - maybe she is flicking!

I was just thinking the same thing! She did get awfully quiet.

Trade it in, oh no....it would like loosing a long time friend. One that has always been there for you, no matter what time. Makes you feel better without telling you what a butt you are, etc. Actually makes you feel better without saying a word. And the best part, its done when you are.

AND... it doesnt make a mess.

Thats IT - I am getting an IPhone so I can keep up when I am away from home!!!!!  I won't get embarrassed though - people already know I am crazy & say what comes to mind so nothing shocks them anymore!

Don't you tell them Heather!!!

Vanessa!!!

I can actually hear mom saying that!!!!!!!!!!

Heather! You all need to get your head out of the gutter

My goodness I sure have missed you girls the last couple of days!

Our mind is in the gutter because you put it there!! I think you are the one that started the conversation onto this track. Let me remind you....

I almost forgot!!
Shelby's ACT score increased one more point this time. Her scores came out this morning!

Yea, what is it now?
Isn't that all she needed to get a full ride?

No, well, maybe... Depends on what school she goes to. She got a 25 this time. At SWOSU a 28 will get her a full ride. The ting is, she isnt applying for a school scholarship. She is applying for a state funded scholarship. The requirements are different. I dont think she has anything to worry about.

Mom?

Yes dear?

Way to go Shelby! 
I have to be at work in an hour & just got out of the shower so I need to get ready for work.  I am sure I won't be able to resist checking my emails several times before I leave though! 
If I don't - you all know you made me smile today - I am sure the smile will be there all day!  Thanks! 
I had intended on getting a little sewing done this morning before work but playing with you all was more fun! 
YOu all have a great day! 

Yea... I need to get my family around and get stuff done. I rushed rushed rushed them out of bed so we could get going today, then I sat down on my computer and started emailing. They are all sitting around, listening to me laugh, waiting for the sign that I am going to start moving.
I love having the kids home. Its been fun spending time with them.

I’ve been busy all morning!  Slackers…

I have had fun playing too, so you'll get busy and we will talk later. Love you all

*blank*

Did you mean to say something, Sister?

Silence is not golden, or did you forget what you was going to say? I do that all the time.

All my love,

Crazy Chickens (12-27-09)

Morning everyone! I love you. I had a good laugh at my chickens this morning. I was feeling bad for them cause they have been in their coop with the tarp pulled down for two days. They have a light in there to help keep them warm and I feel better that they are not in the dark all the time. I had decided to open the door this morning to let them out even tho I worried that they were not smart enough to go back in there if once they figured out they would be under the snow. I knew come night they would go back but they could have froze to death before night. Well when I opened the door the dominate rooster came and looked out for awhile without jumping down and turned around and did some chicken talk and the other chickens didn't even come to the door. I laughed and said you are smarter than I thought. So I put food and water in the coop and pulled the tarp back down. I haven't seen my bunny, but have seen her tracks on the snow and she has eat the brocolli stocks and apples I have put out. My pond is frozen over except right in the middle where the fountain is squirting out the water. It is beautiful outside. I put some chicken feed and water out for the birds. I saw two cardinals eating. Looked like a christmas card. I miss you all and wish you was here, but know in your hearts that you are here in my heart. Momma Bear.

This made me laugh!  
I am going to take the tree down today - it is pretty & I always enjoy having it up but am always soo glad to take it down.  This year I did a tree only - I didn't get out all my Christmas decorations. 
Speaking of Christmas - I really missed having you all here this year - but I want to get to mom's soon.  I am going to get to mom's soon with all the kids - they really want to see grandma Till - me too!  Sister & I were talking the other day & we both agreed that we need to get together more - all of us at the same time - of course that will be easier for me than her - but I will work around her.  We want it to be at mom's house - we want mom to sit around her house & have memories there of all of us being there.  We both agreed summer is best since that is mom's favorite time of year - we could all do some fishing & carter springs - well you all can - I am not getting in that cold water!!! LoL   But do all the fun things around mom's house with her - Love you MAMMA BEAR!
Well I am going to get busy - watch the sun come up as I work in the house making it my house again! 
I hope you all have a great day!
Vanessa

Yes!!! That sounds like a great plan. Let's go ahead and plan for every weekend! I have cabin fever so bad I can't stand it. I need to get outside. I watched more TV the last two days than I have all year. I've read two books, my house is spotless and my toilet is clean. I think I might get out today and shovel some snow around chicken coop so they can get out for awhile. I might even try to get out of driveway. My neighbors got stuck on christmas day trying to get out, took them about an hour to get unstuck, so I may not make it. I really missed us not being together! Leslie called and I read the "Polar Express" to her and we cried. She will NEVER outgrow that book. Come to think of it I won't either. Sounds like you plan for a productive day, I have decided I am not going to turn my TV on till at least this evening. So maybe I will find something productive to do. Love you all so very much and can't wait for those get togethers! Mommy Bear

Well I have to share my morning with my chickens. First of all my feet are frozen. I decided to leave their door open and let whatever happen, happen. I gave them cornbread, food and water in their coop. Until they got their bellies full they didn't try to come out. I had already came back to the house and looked down there and saw Maude, Lucy and Bell, my three beautiful roosters standing breast deep in snow, not moving. I watched for awhile and saw Lucy raising one foot up. I thought their feet is going to freeze so here I go. Maude and Lucy let me pick them up and put them back in the coop, and they didn't come back out. However Bell wouldn't let me pick her up. She flew away from me and got back to the coop, but not in it but under it. Everytime I would get close she would go running out in the deep snow, I would go to get her then back to the coop she would run. Finally after messing up my beautiful snow and my feet frozen from running after her for 30 minutes I said alright, stay out and freeze your feet off and came back to the house. He is not as smart as the other two!

I have decided (mother is not included in this email so DON'T tell her) that I have to paint mom a crazy chicken lady sign!!!!!   It just is something she needs hanging up on her coop or in her kitchen or something!!!!!!  Her stories this weekend decided this for me!

Lol... that's a great idea! Its very fitting.

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36485732&ref=sr_gallery_2&&ga_search_query=rooster&ga_search_type=&ga_page=9&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title
I like these - they made me laugh - but I don't think mom would find the humor the same as I do in them!!!! 

Lmao.... too funny! I would love to see the look on her face if you sent her one of those. But, your probably right, she wouldn't hang them and I would hate for you to waste your time painting something she wouldn't even use. Although, I do think she would see the humor in them, she isn't quite as daring as you or I. I would hang it with pride!

I am actually going to make her a bunch of stuff for her house I think - things I can use as examples on etsy to sell.  I think her kitchen would be cute with some chicken/rooster theme going on!
The whole chicken thing is too cute - and she seems to love those peckers!

Awesome! She needs some stuff. You really need to come down and see her colors and what she has going on in there first. She said that Jeff told her that the pics we sent didnt really do it justice.

We are going to come that way soon!  Like next few weeks.  I may not tell her & suprise her - but then again with JC passing & her going to go help with Doris I might have to tell her! 

Surely she will be letting all of us know what her plans are as far as being down there. Just play it by ear.

The start of the secret.  Hehe...

All my love,

Electric Monday (12-21-09)

Good Morning All,
It appears to be a fantastic day in Muddig. The sky is clear the sun is just turning the horizon light blue and orange. The high is going to be in the 60's. I feel really good. I'm going to complete some wiring on the house today, So tonight I'll have electric light on BOTH ends of the cabin. Something you city folks take for granted. Today lets all be thankful for electricity. Every time we turn on a light today think "That's nice... ah electricity".
Ho Ho Ho
Pa

Us city folk - LoL - Yes sometimes those things that seem so small are easy to take for granted!  I think about that often.  I had a lady call the resteraunt the other night wanting to speak to a manager - so I talked with her.  Right now there are a lot of scams but I felt in my hear this one was sincere - and it was a story I intend on telling my kids on Christmas morning before we open our gifts - just to give them a little insight to what some people have or don't have.  Anyway she said she had two children - 15 yo & 17 yo - and she had become disabled this year & can't work, but her disability hasn't come through yet & she is really struggling.  She said she had documentation to prove everything she was saying - that she had been unable to give her kids anything for their birthdays & had just told them there would not be a Christmas this year either.  So she was calling to see if there was anyway we could give them a gift card so she could bring her kids in for a late birthday dinner. 
Of course this pulled hard on my heart strings & I am not the kind of manager in the position to make a decision to give her this.  While I truly feel this lady was for real - I know there are a lot of yee haws out there that make it hard to trust anyone & my general manager said he couldn't do it. 
This is something I can definetly share with my kids though - hopefully it will help them appreciate everything they have even more. 
I am working this morning at Islamorada at 11, then tonight at Toby's at 5.  I am going to start putting my resume into some places & try to get a job with regular hours - I am really missing my family life.  Working when they are home & being home when they are working/school stinks! 
Have a great Monday! 
Love you all - Vanessa
(I guess I rambled on a bit didn't I?)

First thing I want to know is why I wasn't included in the original email from Papa Bear? I am feeling rejected! Thank you sis for including me. It is going to be in the 60s here also and I plan on getting outside as soon as I get home. I had to have the wood splitter back to Lawton by nine. I got all my wood split Saturday and I will not have to worry about heat (something them city folks don't worry about either, huh Papa Bear?) the rest of this winter. Love you all! Mama Bear

You were included on it - I just double checked it. 
Yeah - I sleep with my window open because my apartment is so hot from all that electricity and radiator heat that we have.  It's nice!!  Although, I don't take it for granted after our heat disaster of an apartment last year...

I didn't get it. Was it my home or work address?

You were included - I just hit reply all.
It is your yahoo email -
I sometimes don't get emails when we all are corresponding until way after the fact - I will be so lost sometimes because of it!

(8 hours later...) It is 5:00 pm and I just got this! Something going on weird in cyberspace today.

Or in mama bear space...

Ha ha Leslie! You clever little bear.

All my love,

LT

Friday

with guest Papa Bear (12-18-09)

Whats the big plans for this chilly weeked?

Mornin Papa Bear, I plan on spliting wood for most of the weekend so we can stay warm on christmas day while it is snowing. What's your plans?

Mama Bear

I am going to finish all my Christmas everything - send Christmas cards (wow! I am late on that one!), finish my cookies and send them, Christmas grab bag gift.  I'm also cleaning my house from top to bottom.  Since I've been baking every night - my house hasn't had any cleaning done to it so it awful.

Aww - first I like the whole papa/mama bear thing!

I am working today @ noon & @ 5 tomorrow & digging down really deep to find a positive place to be while being there - it is hard anymore w/ the bs that goes on around there. 

On a lighter note my step son Dalton is coming home - moving home - Jeff is on his way to Dallas right now to pick him up from school @ 12:30 & bring him home. 

I do have Sunday off - that I am looking forward to!

Sister - did you guys read the Bernstein Bears?  Those were my favorite books as a kid - I thought we gave our massive collection to yall.  I'm not focused on being productive today!

Yes I have them - have read a lot of them to the kids - over & over - they are great books!

Love you guys - I am heading out to my favorite screwed up place!

I got my package - thanks mom!  Can I open it?  :)

You can open the card but not the package. Glad you got it.

I like the "from the kitchen of" - they look like they are from the 80s!

I thought you would like those, wish you could open your package but you can't.

It's ok - today is Secret Santa so I get a present today.  And Christina got me a snow man that grows (I'll send the final product). What are you doin today mama bear?

Rolled all my coins and taking them to the bank for cash right now. Jim cut the dead part of the ugly tree down yesterday so I am going to clean all the little branches up, split some firewood and go to library.

I know what it is.... nanananana!

I was waiting for that response!

LOL... you know me too well!

You know she is going to open it even tho you told her not to. I would! Then I wouldnt tell you anything. On Christmas morning, I would call you all excited about what I got and you would never know that I had already opened it.

The girl next to me told me to do that – but I didn’t open it, I just opened the card!

My secret santa isn’t here today so I didn’t get my secret santa gift….

Hahaha!

All my love, 
LT

I am so (from Xmas)

I've been so behind but I'm catching up this week ladies!!!!  This one is from 12-16-09.

Remember:

        Mom is red because she is full of love.
        Sister is purple because she is royality.
        I am blue because I like the color blue.

        Hedder is green because it's what is left and readable.  :)

Depressed!!!! This has to be the cheapest christmas I have ever experienced! I decided not to put up a tree, but put out a few of the traditional decorations as well as the garage sell stuff I got this summer, well that was ok, fun seeing all the old stuff. Then I decided I would use the area you see in the pic as to where I would put presents so I put them there and it is so sad! I only have Dolton and Steve to buy for. I sure hope next year will be better.

Awe... I think it looks really good. Our Christmas is gonna be super slim this year too. It is stressful and depressing. We will get past it and everything will be fine. Keep ur head up.

But for me personally I have something to say!  YOU hold your head up high!  I have gotten the most amazing gift from you this year - something money could never buy!  You are truly my mother in everyway now - You & I have become so much closer than ever before this year - I don't need gifts & my kids just love spending time with you.  So you stop it right now!!!! 

I agree with Sister.  I am so much closer with you guys now than I ever was and understand why things are the way they are.  I get excited when I see a little pop up that an email is from one of you - and I stop what I'm doing to read it (even though, it makes me way less efficient some days...)  I am so glad we are all close and it's one of my greatest joys in my life!!!

See! You have two great daughters that love you very much. Who needs material items. You have what so many people long for.

I just buried Elvis. Found him floating face down in the pond.

OH mother!  Do you want me to call you?

No I am ok now! Already had my cry and made a cross so I am ok. I read your other message and that made me cry more than Elvis. I feel the same way you do, but you guys are MY babies and you know how you felt when you was stressing about christmas before you decided not to move. I love you

You guys have really grown up and really the greasest gift of all!

Awe... I am sorry Tilda.

I knew their emails were going to make you cry. :

Won't have to worry about him getting cold again will I?

LOL... no, He wont be getting cold anymore. But I am sure, that wont stop you from worrying about the others.

We are all going to stress - probably more now that we are adults.  But we have learned well and know that in the end it's each other that matter and as long as what that, then it'll turn out like it's supposed to.

I am hungry!

Get some food!

I love you guys!

I love the days I have off & we are all chatty!!! 

I love it too! I think I am the luckest momma in the world!!!!!! Heather I know you have a mom but I care for you just like a daughter.

OK... Now you are making me cry..

I miss my mom more than anything in the world, but you make a great stand in.

I wish I had the day off and I could be chatty in my kitchen with baked cookies!!!!!!  I just wrote out my to do list of things I want to get done tonight (when I get home from work so around 6:30 - ugh!!!)

Christmas Cards

Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

GingerBread Men

Biscotti (if I have time)

Pick up bedroom

Sweep/mop kitchen (as my last batch bakes!)

Work on Vanessa & Sister, Inc. business plan (1/2 of the first section - THE BUSINESS - description, marketing and competition)

I just want to do it all!!

Well I just finished sewing a quilt together - now to do all the clip clip clipping!!!  If only I knew what happen to my scissors that are made for this! 

I agree with Heather,..... I just woke up from a nap. Sure did feel good,(but I didn't get it all done)! I crack myself up.

Ummm do I guess what you are talking about - because something you said about your nature showers came to mind!

Yes gutter -

LOL! Tulsa woke up from her nap and called me to tell me that she loves my sense of humor.

She thought I was saying that Leslie's to do list was going to make me cry. Bahaha...

Tilda- we are at the Cox house. We shouldn't be staying long. I will call you when we leave.

That is so funny!!! After I took my nap my 1st email was from Les saying all the stuff she was going to do when she got home from work. My 2nd email was from Heather saying now she was going to cry. I thought she was talking about all the work Les had lined out was going to make her cry. I thought she was being a smart a___. So I chuckled and said what I did which I thought was perfect since I had been lazy and took a nap. Hope that makes sense. Get your mind out of the GUTTER!!!!!LOL

I got lost on ALLL that!

Read Heathers it makes sense

Tilda! Are you drunk!?

I read Heather's before I sent my email...  I feel like we all get these emails in random orders that aren't the same.

Call me

All of us?

No just you

Thank you Hedder - that's what it seems like to me too!  Maybe she'll run around town with no bra and panties!

LOL! 2 things are funny about this email.

1. Leslie called me Hedder.

2. Tulsa running around like her daughter does!

Bahahahahahahahahaha!

Yea I caught both of those too!

What the crap!!

I hate replying to emails on my phone. I didnt realize it spelled Tulsa and not Tilda!

LOL, whatever.

My emails come through weird -

1. who is Tulsa?

2. who is running around in bra & panties?

OMG I am so confused!!! 

I thought is was the Bud Light - but I think it is you all!!!!!!

I finished my quilt - just has to run through washer & dryer now - & my finger is numb!

Heather - for you dear - nothing!  I won't charge you - you just have to pay for any material & brag to people where you got it!

Aw... Thanks Vanessa.

I will gladly pay for any cost there is involved in making it and I will also gladly pay you for your time. We will get together after the first of the year and try to get things started.

absolutely!

I don't expect you to pay me for my time though - this will be a good thing for me to blog about!  I can use this to help get me up & going again! 

I must have missed something. I read where vanessa won't charge for doing something but I don't know what

Sorry...

It went from a Facebook comment into email again. She commented that she had finished her quilt. I asked her what she would charge me to take Justins old clothes and make me a quilt out of them. then the conversation went into email.

Oh that would be so cool! It is suppose to be really nice tomorrow, do you want to go for a hike in the woods? If you already have something planned that is ok. How are you doin? I made a perfect batch of no bake cookies!

I am OK... we will make it.

The only thing we have going on tomorrow is going to jerri's to get that wood split and loaded in the morning. After that, I got nothing going on.

I want some cookies!

Wow Vanessa! That looks really great! I love it.

  

I will help do the wood just let me know when you go.

All my love,

LT

Mom pees her pants in Wal Mart!!!!!!!!!!

It starts off as a fairly normal day – I can't wait for all these cookies to eat!, My aquaphor (great chapstick stuff in a lotion type tube) was frozen solid when I got back from lunch!  It is miserably cold out…

I love you mamma!  Try to keep it between the white lines while you are laughing!  The police might think you are drinking if you don't & since you have already wet yourself we DO NOT need that!!!!!
Just saying!!!!!!

Thanks that helped a lot.

Just trying to be there for you mom!
I just figured she had gone to work again without panties & a bra - WITH a skirt & heels on!  In this group things like that is normal right?

I posted on my FB wall -
Y'know - funny how life works out! I love my family! We are all a bunch of nutcases BUT I wouldn't change a thing!
Jeff's sister put '?'
I said -  'I was talking about my mother & sister & our included kin Heather BUT if you want in I will include you too!'
Oh my what does my honey's family think of me????? 
LoL

HAHA - Oh my goodness!  I was in a meeting and I kept laughing and not paying attention to what was going on.  Finally someone asked me a direct question and I just started laughing and I said "Uhmm... Yes?"  My family is nutcases - but I love it!

After a meeting that I was cracking up through, just knowing the emails were still coming:  Mom didn’t call me!!!!! NOT FAIR!

She called me - HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!

U r at work

HA - Mamma told YOU!!!!!!  

Nuts y'know don't fall from their tree?  So I have heard!

Or apples

Vanessa-
 When you spoke to your  mom a few minutes ago, did it remind you of Leslie, that day she went to work without undergarmets?

ummm ... hu?

The screaming/talking/laughing?  She is asking if mom and I sound the same when we get so tickled we can't talk....

Oh - hee hee - um yes!

Wish I had something to blow my nose on

Just use your shirt, hell you already have pee on your pants.

I had to pull off the side of the road I couldn't see to drive for the tears. Let me get home so I can clean myself up pls

Oh mom are you driving that slow - you have had plenty of time to get home - is it time????
Don't get mad at me - I am being FUNNY!!!!!!!

Ok on a serious side - you guys make my days when everyone is at school or work & I don't go in until 5 totally bareable!  I didn't spell that right did I?  I love our emails!

Now on another note - I had to run to WalGreens this morning for cig & I got some new hair stuff - Sammy brand - I have been wanting to try it - but it is expensive - but it was on sale so I got the 'big curls' crap - it smells like something that I should be cleaning my toilet with - but my curls are pretty for the first time in a long time (since my crazy try to go blonde moment) & I got hairspray - it works very well - but smells like bug spray - Now first off it is called 'Sammy' - not cool since my baby is Sam - but second - if you are going make a good hair product it has to SMELL good!!!!!!!  I will use it - don't want to waste money - but so help my God someone tells me I smell like bug spray & I am emailing Sammy's!!!!!

Thank God for something serious! I love them tooooooo!

You smell like bug spary!

Where did that come from?

You know you have to email us if someone says something to you about how your hair smells.

Did I say 'spary' or are you laughing so hard you can't type?

I was laughing so hard I could type.  I have so much to do before I leave but I keep laughing!!!!! Then my boss walks by and I have to hide my inbox because it's all from yall

LOL.... thats funny! You know, he is going straight to the server to check your email now. Wouldnt you like to be a fly on the wall if he read all of them?

Oh no

I had to sop at arbys and get jeff a gift card then I had to sop in marlow so I could get my composure, wipe eyes and nose. Now I am fixin to get back on road

YOU STOPPED AT ARBY'S WITH PEE ON YOUR PANTS?!?!???!!!!

I went thru the drive thru

Mom – are you home?

Yep home and clean. Now I have to unload truck

Final Facebook looks like this:

Oh – too much for one day.  Sister and Hedder need to do something embarrassing now!

All my love,

BC Powder and Life Goals

Morning! I am off today & I have my 'list' ready for the day!

Well I am sure mamma has probley told you both - but let me tell you what is going on here!

Jeff went down to Gainesville last weekend to look for a house again - he had several lined up to look at - all just trashy places - not somewhere he was willing to live if he was single let alone take the kids there. So - he calls me just absolutely angry & saying WE ARE NOT MOVING HERE! I AM DONE! Well I know him & I just let him vent & listened to all the griping he did. Waited for him to get home Sat evening - drank a few beers with him - then Sunday morning I said - OK honey - I need to know what you want to do - I had let it all sink in & him calm down before I went into the conversation with him. He said I dont' want to move - if this job is that important to you we will work it out I guess but I don't want to leave this great place we have here where the kids are happy & we love it to live in some crap hole.

Girls it was like a weight off my shoulders to be honest - leaving Sam for one was killing me - but things just didn't seem like they were happening like they were suppose to & I was really sweating it! But I had given him this (he has wanted to move out of Tulsa) I couln't take it away from him. I had to let him get there if we were going to stay here. So - while I am disappointed about getting into a small town - this is all ok .... AND I think Mamma is still considering moving this way to be close to us still (fingers, toes, legs - everything crossed - would love to have her close). I told Sam about it - & I was hoping for a big scream happy happy happy - but I forget that she is way mature for her age - Mom what about Bailey & insurance - what about this or that - then she asked me about Grandma - I told her Mamma was still thinking about moving here - then she got excited -

So I went to work Sunday & told my boss here - he said no worries - you know you have a place here - I hated to lose you but wouldn't hold you back. He said he would go to bat for me being a salary manager here with the insurance & other perks. So Monday I talked with the big guy - he said hey Vanessa look you are in a great place - if you want to stay here no worries - if you change your mind in 6 months you can go - you have a job at either place - you are sitting pretty. My manager here talked with him about getting me on salary & such & all is looking good - may be after the first of the year - but I am the only person that will be considered to put in that position - it is just justifying putting another manager on salary & benefits at this point.

So I guess all works out the way it should - I know one thing - I truly feel relief right now - like a huge weight is off my shoulders - I won't be missing out on Sam's big year & I am still going to be able to give Bailey insurance!!!! Now to think about Christmas - Oh My!!!!

Love you all – Vanessa

Oh I'm glad you are feeling at peace about everything. If things weren't working as they were supposed to then it's best that you stay where you are.

Going on vacation for a week and not worrying about work at all made me realize how little I really care about my job - but when I'm in the midst of it, I feel like I care a lot. I thought a lot about what I really want to do. I'm going to call to get internets at home today and it'll really help me jump start a lot of the stuff I want to do. Today could be a really stressful day - because someone sent out an email saying something was happening that is not happening. The only person dealing with it is me since it's for the program I work on - but I really don't care. It's a nice feeling to not get upset about something that really doesn't affect me beyond the confines of the walls work in.

I am glad the stress is gone. I actually feel a weight being lifted also. It is amazing what u say is so true Les, I thought I really cared about Mudhopper, but I have not missed one single minute of being out there. Actually I love getting money for not working, I have time to do something besides working and it has not been stressful at all. I love y girls and Hedder, thanks for the hand cream. My hands felt so much better this morning. However, my hands have been in water again all morning.

Very glad you are feeling like you are too Sister! You kind of sound at peace also! Love you all.

Vanessa- I am so glad that everything has worked out. I am glad you are at peace with your decision. That makes all the difference in the world.

Leslie, I am glad you are at the point that you are with your job. It’s always nice to reach the carefree point and not have that stress.

It’s kind of funny where we all are in our lives right now. It’s pretty different individually, yet the same in so many ways.

I spent the day at the unemployment office yesterday, doing an orientation and talking about what options I have. It seems there are some additional grants I can apply for because I am unemployed and go back to school. I also have received a call from Dell asking if I want to go back to work. That was a great job with wonderful benefits. I am considering both. I am not sure what direction I will go yet, but I will have to figure it out by the end of the week. I will let you guys know then.

You have two very good options. Dell is a great place to work, just a long drive, OKC. School is also a good thing, I know that is something you have always wanted to do. I believe in my heart that you will make the right decision. I can't wait to see how it all turns out. I know all of you will be sucessful cause your all so smart!

I just took a BC powder - ew.

I have been taking them about every four hours, they will grow on you.

I don't know if they ever really grow on you....

That was rather random Sister - that is about the only thing I use - they are amazing!

They do grow on you - they are great for the night of too many drinks & the night after!

And for aches & pains!

Oh that is all I use too - but that doesn't mean I enjoy taking one while the powder is sitting on my tongue waiting for me to chug a huge glass of water.

Take it with a beer! LoL

Oh sister - that's your solution to everything!

OH Sister!!!! You are a brat!!!!

Ha - I get the last laugh... Sister is the brat!!!!!  :)

All my love,

Mom's Influence on Sister

I had a nice visit with Sister this morning - she made me laugh so hard!  What I want to know though Sister is - are you keeping your legs crossed??????

OMG, can't wait to hear her answer and about this conversation!

Come on Leslie, we all want to hear your response to that one.

I am having lunch with your mom. Wish you guys were here too.

Yea I wish Sister would say something - because I can't until she does!

But she was definetly making me laugh this morning - I couldn't understand half of what she said because she was laughing –

I was at lunch and I am keeping my legs crossed.  I'm not wearing a bra either...

Sister Ann - your boobs are too big for that!

Are you having a good day?

I'm hung over.

I only had like 4 drinks..................

Hair of the Dog Sister - I love you!

I just need to say this though - Mom - Sister is so comfortable in no panties or bra because you are her mother!!!!!!

I did have fun talking to you this morning though. 

oh me too - you reminded me so much of mom laughing & screaming!

I still don't understand the whole keeping your legs crossed thing and now I am really confused about the bra thing. You guys should really not leave things like that to the imagination.

Your imagination isn't far off I am sure!

I was drunk this morning so I forgot to wear under garments - and I wore a dress.

Lmao! That's good stuff! You must have been pretty drunk to forget your undergarments. It’s all starting to make so much sense now.

Your mom and I are dying laughing. I keep remembering the time that your mom was at the lake and you called. Your mom was laughing so hard, she bout peed her pants. Then she passed the phone to me and I couldn't understand a word you were saying either. You were laughing so hard and your mom was so tickled. I can just imagine you and Nes on the phone this morning. And I can imagine how you must be feeling at work right now with no undergarments! LMAO

WELL I can guarantee everyone on the subway knew Sister had no panties on - she was laughing so hard she was screaming it - even Jeff heard her.  I was talking to her listening actually - finally I said - are you wearing heels?  YES AND NO PANTIES!!! 

Leslie, my first thought is be careful someone might do something to u, but this is only after I laughed my rump off. Girl.....girl.....girl...my girl. 

I found some gin in the trailer last weekend so I went to the store and bought some olives and thought I will have a martinni sometime, haven't had one yet and know I am kinda nervous about doing it. I might go to hop and sack without panties and tell everyone!

Hahaha - aren't you funny?

Lmao... that's pretty good Tilda. But we both know you would take 3 drinks and get a headache and have to stop. Besides, you don't have to be drunk. We all know how much you like being neeked anyway! A little alcohol might help you announce it, but its not required.

Watch it girl! Your day is coming!

ILY

Ok So I totally see Mom drinking DRITY maritnis in the NEEKED stage - then going OR not going  anywhere & still telling us about her NO PANTIES!! 

But then again we have Lovely that goes to WORK that way!

But I love them both with all of my heart!  Panties or not!!!!

I just don't know if I want to know when or not!

My cup so runneth over with honesty, real friends, real family and love. You watch Hedder, the girls are goin call me cheesy. I now know what that means, but didn't when they first calles me that. (Was goin correct that mispelling but I like the sounds of a hillbilly). now I am going to put my phone under a pillow so I can get something done today!

LOL..... I know what you mean Tilda. I am pretty cheesy too. But you are right. You are loved and have wonderful family to cling to. I know, as much as I will miss you when you move, I will never have to worry about you being alone.

Alright, that is enough! It has been an emotional day for me any way. Love you ALL! Mum

I have something else to say about cheesy. The sisters, my daughters, their chessy also, especially with no panties or bra on. ILY

Later that day…

I have just spent the last few minutes ready all my emails and I have tears from laughter, joy, sadness and another feeling that is just undescribable (wish this thing had a spell checker). My desire is that all three of u have that same feeling so u can experience what I am feeling. Thank u for being part of my every day, even if u don't have panties on.

ILY

Well - me personally I have panties on - now I do not have a bra on - but since I truly have no need for one that doesn't count!

But - I do love you all - and do truly enjoy my everyday conversation!

Les I know u have company but u better call me (especially if u plan on going out with no panties). I crack myself up!

The best part of this email is that I called her while she was typing it and she was laughing so hard that she could barely talk!  I love you guys - even with no panties!!

I enjoy being part of the "everyday conversation" too. Even tho, I am sure there are times, like today, you girls probably wish I wasn't involved in all conversations. LOL.. I get so much enjoyment out of our emails. Thank you to all of you for treating me like part of the family and always including me, especially in the funny stuff.

So this was an enjoyable one for me to read back through, especially since I didn't enjoy that day very much...

All my love,
