Some wedding pics

Me and Jasmine as my cousins wedding.

 

Me and my brother's girlfriend at my cousin's wedding.  My brother Jason and his girlfriend Koda.

 

Sunny Days, gawd I hate sesame street........

I'm in a relatively pissy mood tonight but we'll get into that later.  (thought I'd warn you all in advance!)  For whatever reason, I feel like commenting on the Britney Spears circus.  I think this girl should've been locked up for mental evaluation weeks ago.  Anyone could've seen this coming.  Who would've thought, Kevin Federline a better parent?  Years ago I thought this guy was a total douche but now that he is actually trying to protect his kids, I have to give him some respect.  I mean, when she was pregnant with the first kid she was on one of those news shows (20/20 maybe?) talking about her whole life all she wanted to do was be a mother and have lots of kids, ya'll.  And now all they say is that she is emotionally detached from both boys and is putting them in harm's way for publicity.  Which after the last several weeks of weirdness, I believe she would do.  I can't see why anyone would purposely put themselves in the middle of those flashing camera's night after night just to see themselves ridiculed on another issue of Us Weekly.  Bad publicity is still publicity but really is it worth all that.  Your Britney friggin Spears, the world is not going to forget about you if you take a break for a while.  The whole situation leaves me shaking my head thinking what the hell?

I think these last few weeks of stress have caught up to me.  I was near punching my husband tonight and he didn't even know it although I'm pretty sure he was aware I was pissed.  First, I was sick and got no help with anything.  (and got a shitty sigh when I asked for help) Then, Jasmine starts getting sick, again no help.  Now he claims he's sick and expects me to feel awful for him.  Not gonna happen.  Finally, when trying to do everything today I started to lose it.  He came in the room and had the balls to ask me what my problem was and I told him I haven't gotten any help and I have shit to do.  (Jasmine was standing behind me asking for something and then immediately asking for something else) After that I went in the bedroom and didn't do anything, at all.  When Jasmine asked for food I just said I'm not getting up.  When she asked for water, I'm not getting up.  The last time I said it, he got up and went and got her soup but was slamming things around the whole time.  I felt like saying what's it feel like when you do everything and the other person just sits there doing whatever they feel like?  I can't wait till Jasmine finally goes back to sleep.  I'm taking a sleeping pill and another pill to calm me down and then I'm going to r.e.l.a.x.

Speaking of Jasmine, she threw up again today but it was because the dog jumped up and gave her a bloody nose.  (she doesn't get that from me, I've had one bloody nose my entire life and it wasn't when I broke my nose) She's having trouble breathing and crying through all the nose ucky.  I finally got her to take some tylonel cold an hour ago.  She was to the point where she couldn't breathe out her nose at all.  (but still wouldn't spit out the binkie) Which I'm tired of hearing people say she should be giving up by now.  I have to fight with her enough on a daily basis, I'm not taking my only saving grace away.  She's not going to have it when she's in high school, all kids get rid of them eventually. 

Tomorrow I think I'm going to go get some ice cream.  There's this ice cream place that I had no idea exsisted and the only reason I know is because I read about some internet prank involving this company.  (said they were giving away free ice cream tomorrow... they have no such plans) My only problem is they don't have plain vanilla ice cream but I need to try something different.  The place is called Cold Stone Creamery. 

I'm going to finish some of my online stuff and then I'm going to procede to bitch to my brother's girlfriend for the next forty minutes or so.  After all, what are friends for?  ;)

Sick ward

My morning started off badly yesterday.  I woke up just as Jasmine started throwing up.  Every time she gets a cold she throws up in the mornings.  I think it's got something to do with post nasal drip.  Poor kid.  She would fall back to sleep almost immediately only to wake up 15 minutes later to do it all over again.  This went on and off for a few hours.  When she got up at 1pm, I figured she was up for good.  She drank an entire glass of water and then fell back to sleep.  Thankfully she didn't throw up anymore but my sheets and blankets were in bad need of the washer.  She seemed fine when she actually got out of bed.  Maybe a little more whiny than usual but otherwise good.  My husband came home whiny and sick.  He worked his full shift then came home and slept for a few hours.  A part of me had wished I had let him sleep more because once he woke up all he did was whine.  I'm like c'mon, I just had this cold and it's not that awful.  I feel like I have two kids right now dealing with both of them being sick.  At least I don't have to worry about catching it.  ; )

Ferret Pictures

Had to get a drink before the real playing begins.  She loves that crock but boxes the water before she sure she wants to drink from it.

 

She's standing on a t-shirt that she was insisting on sleeping in when she was out of the cage so I threw it in there and tied it so she can't move it.  When I went to clean the cage, I took all the shelves down and didn't remember how it was all in there before.  I decided I'd just wing it.  BAD IDEA.  I spent three hours trying to find a way to put those shelves in there to make sure it was both safe and fun. 

 

 

 

I came down to this end of the tunnel mom because there's something in the other end but since you're so close, maybe I'll go investigate.

 

 

Within ten seconds of taking this picture, that cat jumped sky high and came flying out of Bindi's toy.  But when he turned around to look, there was no one there.  He stared at the entrance for quite a while before Bindi got bored waiting for him and came up behind him, dooking to get the cat's attention.  And by the way, I have no idea how that cat (who is rather large) managed to squeeze into that cube.  It was made with a ferrets size in mind, not a cat's!

WOW.. Pathetic... so you're against dog fighting.. and for killing people?  You sound like my 5 year old when he's throwing a tantrum.

I hate dog fighting.. hunting etc..
But If I had to choose between a world full of you.. or a world full of "blood-sportsmen" I'd have a hard time grow up the world isn't all norman rockwell paintings and for good reason.

This was in response to how I felt about dog fighting and Mike Vick.  This is my first shitty comment on my journal so I guess I should feel lucky?  My feeling, if you don't like what I have to say, don't come back.  PLEASE, don't come back.  Part of me just laughs and shakes my head.  This person obviously has no idea what the world is really like.  Stuck in their teeny tiny shit town, with their hillbilly gun toting friends and no connection to the outside world.  Do they even have CNN where you are?  At least we know the five year old is already worlds smarter than what it came from.  Was I throwing a tantrum?  You bet your goddamn ass.  Have you ever SEEN what these people do to these animals?  If we don't stand up for them, who will?  They have no voice and no rights.  Should I just stand by and watch the world go to shit?  Is that the grown up thing to do in your world?  In my world, we stand up for what we believe in and do the right thing.  I guess you'd rather have some dumb shit wielding a gun make decisions in this country than someone who is trying to make a difference.  You sound like a republican to me.  (Dick Cheney anyone?)  I hate when termites come out of the wood work and expose themselves for what they really are.  You have so many opinions and yet, no blog of your own to express them.  It just shocks me how stupid people can be.  You'd really want to live in a world where people think nothing of torturing another living thing?  Where do you think that leaves you in their book?  Am I for the death penalty?  You bet your ass.  Saddam Hussein deserved to die.  Osama Bin Ladin, deserves to die.  These people are evil, plain and simple.  They have no soul and there is no reason to poison the world with their existence any longer.  Why is it a good reason that the world is going to shit?  You say it's not a Norman Rockwell painting and forgood reason?  It's good to be different and to have opinions but I could use a little more Norman Rockwell and a little less Norman Bates. 

3 to Be

I might actually have been approved by a rescue to adopt two ferrets.  It's extremely difficult for me to get animals from shelters because of the amount of animals I currently own.  I talked to the rescue today and she sounded opptomistic about the adoption and I'll hopefully meet up with her this weekend or the middle of next week.  She has a male and female that have to go together.  Knowing my luck, I'll be approved and Bindi will hate one or both of them. 

We have gotten over 25 inches of snow since New Year's Eve and it's still snowing.  Thankfully, all that wintery mess will melt up next week when we have 40's.  Of course, it'll still be a mess, just a slushy, muddy mess. 

Winter Wonderland

Turn it off.  Someone turn off the damn snow.  Over a foot since last night, 3-6 more inches expected tonight and 3-6 more expected tomorrow.  We got the "massive" snow storm and now we are getting a little something called lake effect snow.  That's what happens when cold air moves over a warm lake.  Dogs seem to love it.  I tried getting some pictures of them playing but the only thing my camera would capture was the falling snow itself.  Maybe I'll be able to get some good shots when it stops.  The snow is really pretty but it's making going anywhere an ordeal.
