The last few days can just go bite it.
The weather.
My lumpy, bumpy body in a bathing suit.
My children growing up.
I want to go back to summer 2010 please and thank you.

*Today it was so cold and windy and snowy that I could only see a few feet in front of my vehicle. As I drove my shitmobile to do groceries I was wondering why the hell I was driving to the grocery store on such a craptastic day. I mean, really, we couldve survived 24 more hours without some raspberries and hummus.

It was a stupid idea.
Except I really wanted hummus.

*This

*The boys told me they don't believe in the Easter Bunny/Santa/Tooth Fairy and I almost did the ugly cry.  I have dreaded this day since 2002, and, then, in a casual conversation it came up.

Like I said.
Lets go back to 2010.

*Sometimes I feel guilty when the horses are outside in the cold.  But then I see them run and play and then they run away from me when I come to the barn door which tells me they are happy.
Happy horses make me happy.

*While at the waterpark the other day when I looked all lumpy, bumpy and cottage-cheesey, I glanced at my three babies and noticed something.
They aren't babies anymore and it makes me sad.

And then I thought about the fact that I carried each of them inside my imperfect body.....
 and how perfect all three of them are....
 and that maybe its OK my body doesn't look like a supermodel.....
....because my body made this.

And that's all that matters.

Wow.
That was deep.

Looking for a silver lining.....

Dear Mother Nature.
Right now, I hate you.
Love Momma
*For the last 4-5 days, it has been around -20 degrees Celsius.  One day it felt like -35.  Do you realize how cold that is?
It is so cold that my boogers froze almost instantly.

*It's so cold that my piece of s^%$ vehicle wont start and hasn't started for almost 4 days.
I am a prisoner in my own home and I am about to lose my effing mind.

*My kids have had indoor recess at school for days which means they are going stir crazy, which means they are driving me to pull my hair out strand by strand.
True story.
I hid in the bathroom for a very long time yesterday pretending that I was experiencing a case of poop soup when really I just wanted to get away from the little shitheads fighting.

*The horses don't want to be outside.
There is bunny poop at every door to the house because I think the poor buggers are trying to break into the house during the night.
The cat{s} are nestled in the hay to keep themselves warm.
And I have a cough.

*The silver lining to this piece of crap weather???
Its so cold that Jersey the dog doesn't even want to run away.
And we can have an ice rink on our back field.




Dear Mother Nature
Maybe "hate" is a strong word.
I guess you're OK..
Love Momma

Word up, peeps.
Its Friday and you know what that means?
Random nonsense.
My favourite kind of stuff because then I don't have to get all creative and make collage thingies that no one sees.
Geesh, I didn't think it was that bad.

Anyways, I am still thawing out after our week of -30 temperatures and snow dumps.
You know its bad when Jersey the dog doesn't even try to run away.
And its really bad when he pisses on the deck because he cant stand the thought of venturing out into deep snow.
Jerk.

So, lets get at it, shall we?
*I recently purchased a hair straightener iron thingy, but am too scared to use it, because I think this might happen.


*I have grieved the end of Breaking Bad and am now addicted to Dexter. The sister annoys me and is too skinny, but I enjoy the weirdness of Dexter. I also like that he kills bad people.

*Dear Courtney Cox. What happened to your face?

 

*Our heating bill was over $1000 this month.  So, we have been trying to warm the house with our wood burning fireplace to cut back on the cost.  I have been starting fires all week with paper and kindling.  Then yesterday I found hubby's fire starter logs. 

Now that I know I am a Girl Scout, my next goal is to build a shelter out of palm leaves and coconuts.

 

*This is my daughter.  She is obsessed with the movie "Frozen" and watches YouTube constantly.  Apparently she learned the words.......

 

Today my kids fought. It is a usual event, but today they threw pizza pockets at eachother. Hold me.

Yo.
Guess what I just did?
I attempted to twerk in front of a mirror.
And it was not a pretty sight.

38.5 year old women who have birthed three children should never, ever twerk.

I am old.
And jiggly.

Group hug please.

*There is a stranger living in my house. 
OK, not really. 
The stranger is actually my husband who has been working for 3.5 weeks and only home to sleep.
Now, his schedule is back to normal and the family is readjusting to being "normal" again.

*Dear Children
This pisses me off.
And this too
Love Mom

*I think I hate Princess Kate.
Her flawless skin.
Her perfect hair.
Her classy wardrobe.
Her perfect body just weeks after having a baby.
Yep, I hate her. I bet she even looks good twerking

*How I look when my kids eat the last cookie

*Dear New Parents
Having a new baby is wonderful isn't it?  I know it seems difficult at times, but, just wait until that beautiful, perfect lil' human gets older and the hormones take hold of their brain and body.  Sorry to rain on your parade, but enjoy the coos and smiles now, before they turn into anger/tears and rage.
Love V

Send me happy pills please.
And send some for my hormonal kid too.

Happy Friday y'all!!!
It's been a bad day.
Feel sorry for me, k?

Random Photos. Random Crap.

Howdy doody!
Guess what time it is?
Are you ready?
Hold on to your granny panties, because it is time for random crap.

EEP!
The excitement is too much for you to handle, isn't it?

This week has been pretty uneventful.
Hubby is still working non-human hours, so, it's just me and the kids....and Jersey the dog....and the horses.....and.....umm, you get the jist.

Last week I told you I was addicted to Breaking Bad, but I forgot to mention my other favourite show.
Catfish. OHMYGAWD, people. You must watch it.
Then you must question and be suspicious of anyone on the computer because they are probably not who you think they are.
I mean, for all you know I could be a 67 year old single man who lives in Tokyo.
It freaks my freak out to see how dumb people are.
They love people they have never met in person. They send these people money and naked photos.
Cuh-razy.


Dear Child of Mine
When I asked if your pregnant supply teacher was young, you told me no.  Then you said she was about my age.
Ouch.
Love Mom


This is what I want to do when my favourite song comes on.
Ok, I totally do that.

Oldest son is almost 12 and I am pretty sure that hormones are taking over his body.
This scares me.
This makes me want to run away for a few years.
I am thinking about starting a support group for parents of children going through puberty.
I will serve alcohol and bon bons.
Who is in?


There was a snake in my grandma's basement on Thanksgiving day.
I peed my pants a little when my brave Uncle brought it upstairs to show everyone.
Dear Grandma.
I love you, but I will never, ever go in your basement again.
Love Vikki


November is coming up soon.
Stuff happening in November.
My 13th wedding anniversary.
Trip to Disney.
Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Learn about it. Then we can talk about it, because it is an evil monster that needs to be cured.

My Daddy's tree.

I miss him.

Random Photos. Random Words. And people without teeth.

I am thinking of turning this blog into some sort of random nonsense kinda place, because, well, that's all I write about.
This could mean a few things.
My life is so boring that I really have nothing to talk about.
Um...yeah....that's all I can think of.

So, lets chat about Breaking Bad.
Holymotherofgoodpeople this show is effing amazing.
I now know why everyone talked about it for years when I didn't have Netflix and was too cheap to spend $8/month.
It wasn't until all of the hype about the finale, that I finally convinced myself to get it, and now I cannot stop watching it.
I want to watch it all day.
I want my children to go to bed at 630pm so I can watch it.
I want it to come back for 20 more seasons please and thank you.


My boys recently won more awards at school because they are the best kids to ever walk this Earth.
I took my good camera with my awesome zoom lens and this is the photo I got.
Apparently I embarrass them or something.


My daughter has no top teeth.
OK, she has a few, but not many in the front.
Please send the Tooth Fairy some $$$ as she is broke.
And send the poor kid some pudding and jello because she cant chew anything.


P.S. Don't ever google "People with no top teeth". I am scarred for life.

Dear Ellen DeGeneres
When I told my children you were 55 years old, they were shocked.  They thought you were 27, because you don't have any wrinkles or gray hairs and you dress cool and dance alot.  I think this is a sign that you should invite us to your show and maybe even to your house for some dinner and a board game.


This weekend is Thanksgiving for us wonderful peeps up here in Canada.
I am thankful for Ritz crackers.
Redken hair products.
Comfy pants.
Pumpkin scented candles.
And all that other mushy stuff.


Happy weekend y'all!

Oh, hi.

Currently I am sitting here looking outside my front windows, which just a few weeks ago was a beautiful view of farmers fields.
Now, my view is loaders, excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks and porta pottys.

This makes me very sad.
Life as my family knows it will never be the same when the construction here is finished.
*sniff

So, lets talk random stuff to make me feel better, k?
I enjoy random nonsense.
I enjoy nonsense, actually.

But, anyways..............

--Yesterday I noticed that I have two major wrinkles between my eyebrows.  This tells me a few things.

1.  I am old.
2.  I obviously use my "angry face" alot.

--I got stung the other day.  I cursed and yelled at the jerk who stung me as if it was a human being who just stole my purse.

I probably used my angry face, too.

--30 seconds after getting stung, as I was walking into the house, there was a snake sunning itself on the doormat.

I shrieked.
And probably used my angry face.

--My daughter hates chocolate.  I am starting to wonder if maybe she isn't mine.

--My current favourite song thanks to Ellen Degeneres who showed it yesterday.

Like, seriously.
I cannot stop watching the video, and singing along.....
....and saying "ring ding ding ding deding" in my highest voice.

Nonsense is fun.

Happy Random Friday, peeps!

Here for a good time.....not a long time.....

Sooooo.....things are still busy.
Like so busy I go the whole day without peeing.
So busy my garden looks like a weed garden.
This past weekend was the boys lacrosse championship weekend and we watched 8 games. 8 GAMES in a hot arena with sweaty tweens and waytoocompetitive parents.
Then there was soccer and dog training, a sick kid, the final week of school and a huge award for one of my kids.

I have so much to tell you.....when I have more time.

For now, lets share in some random crap.  I enjoy random crap.

1. Last year we brought a large piece of driftwood home from my family's lake shore property and plopped it into a large planter/garden thingy in front of our garage. This year, these beautiful violets have grown in front of it. We didn't plant them. This makes me happy.

True story. These are the healthiest flowers currently growing on our property. The other flowers I did plant.
Whatever.


2. Ike the horse did this. He is trouble.


3. My newest niece was born on June 20. She is perfection. It makes me very emotional just thinking about this little beauty because my little brother is a daddy. The kid who used to eat all of the cookies and steal the remote control from me now has a daughter. My brother is a daddy and his daddy isn't here to witness it.
Or maybe he can see everything and we just have to make sure his newest grandchild knows all about him. *sniff*


4. Jersey the dog might be starting a raw diet soon. Who would have thunk we would end up feeding our dominant/high prey drive/brilliantyetsobad dog raw chicken parts??!!!!!
Dear Jersey. Don't attack little animals, but go ahead and eat this raw animal meat.


5. These two offspring of mine fight constantly. It boggles my mind how two people who share very similar personalities can fight one minute and then play together the next like nothing happened.
This is them kicking grass because apparently that is fun to them.

Only 9 weeks until school starts............   *Prize for the person who knows who sings the song of the title of this post
