Yes I am looking for some free firewood.  Anyone have any?  Would use my deck but I burned it down last week.

Ive learned that you dont think clearly during it.

Ive learned that all your valuables are not really valuable as your own life is.

Ive learned that one cat carrier sucks when you have 5 cats.

Ive learned that running up and down three flights of stars naked with only a small robe on, it is hard to keep it tied and if you accidently pee running up the stairs no one cares.

Ive learned never to stick your hand in a cat carrier to try to pull out a distressed cat.

Ive learned that you should not keep running around in a smoke filled room with your mouth open wide trying to breathe,

Ive learned that smoke gets into every little crack and stays in your house forever, and the smell is terrible.

I ve learned to check your smoke detectors cuz mine never went off.,

Ive learned to always know where you fire extinguiser is cuz I didnt,

Ive learned that we were all very very lucky that Scott had one in his work truck.

Ive learned that 911 operators for the most part suck.

Ive learned that my neighbors love n care bout me even tho they dont even know me, but they took two of my cats in their homes for me and I appreciate them very much,

Ive learned that even if you change into a pair of jeans you can still pee your pants again.  I guess I get too excited and i was very scared.

Ive learned to listen carefully to that little voice that was trying to tell me to grab the 2nd cat carrier out of my storage closet yesterday for some reason, and i didnt.

I learned that I didnt have renters insurance but I do today.

Ive learned that I am very grateful that Scott has been staying with me cuz Holly and I could never have put out the fire on our deck and gotten all our cats and ourselves out.

Ive learned that I will never yell at my daughter for staying up too late on a school night cuz had she not been awake, the fire would have consumed our building along with us and our cats.

Ive learned that this fire started by my careless cigarette smoking and I feel ashamed, selfish and stupid.

I learned that today is the great american smoke out and I am gonna do it, especially after what happened last night and how worse it could have been by my carelessness and selfishness.

Well, I happen to think delays and flight cancellations are a good thing for the KCI airport.  Traffic that is diverted, cancelled, delayed is good for my business at terminal B!  When people have nothing else to do, they walk by my kiosk and I can give them demos and my sales jump nearly 30%.  So, I am against KCI opening up two runways during Thanksgiving.  BUT I DO SYMPATHIZE WITH TRAVELERS THAT ARE STUCK

So where can I take old paint cans?  I lvie north of the river and most recycling places do not take them.

Does anyone know of a Boy Scout group selling shriner circus tickets?  North of the river please.  My son's group used to sell them for $1.00  I think this circus is alot better than the Ring-a-lin-a-dingbat circus, plus it benefits children!  Let me know and I can contact you and pick them up!

I left my husband a year ago.  He remained in the hosue we own-well we dont own it, but a mortgage and a 2nd mortgage.  He moved his brothers family in this past May to help fix up things, repair things, and hopefully sell it.  They all have been living in this house since May and have not once paid the mortgages.  About three weeks ago, I received acertified letter stating that the home will be foreclosed and sold on the court house stairs of the clay county courthouse-the next morning!  So, what I need to know is this:

I have not received any notification of who bought it. 

Will I be notified?

How much time will I have to get all my stuff still remaining in the house, out?

What legal ramifications will I be held responsible for since I have moved out a year ago?

If I file bankruptsy-which I eventually will in my name,  can this debt be included?

Yes, I am pissed that X did not follow thru with his plans to fix up and sell it as he told me he was going to do.

No I dont care a damn thing for the house as it should be condemned by the city since it is there fault thjat the city sewer backs up in our family room everytime it rains! No one will ever be able to live or want to live in this dump.

So, I really do not care whom I offend in writing this.  This pisses me off. So I am watching the news last night and they are interviewing a black woman who was the very last person in line to register to vote.  She had never voted before in her life.  All of a sudden this campaign she chooses to vote.  Why this one?  Well my guess is because she is going to support Osama. I mean Olama, I mean Obama.  So why does she feel it necessary to use her right to vote this time? Why didnt she vote last presidential election?  Does she even know all the other candidates in her local area that she will now just go thru the list and choose at random?  Is because Osamalamabama is black and that is the only basis she has to stand on for her count?  Whatever, I suppose if he loses, there will be riots and fires and looting OH MY!

Like I said, I dont care who I offend here, you already offend me by voting for a man just by the color of his skin, and yes that is the only reason she is voting for him!  So I will just say what we all think and know.

Do you speak english or what?


So, I go to Wendy's drive thru and order two number 5's (Ultimate Chicken Grill), he says what would you like to drink? I say then....Oh I wanted the sandwich only. Which is not the meal, but the sandwich. So then I get to the pick up and get the sandwiches, we go park to eat them and I open mine and......Ok, it was a sandwich only.  A bun and a peice of grilled chicken.  Not anything else but bread and chicken.  OMG.  Can you believe this? So I go back inside and tell the first girl(english) that I ordered The Ultimate Grill Sandwich only, not the meal, and show her.  She stares at me.  I am like, doesnt anything else come on this sandwich? She says yes, I will send it back.  Good, you just do that! So she gives it to another worker(mexican) and explains that I wanted everything on it. So then the second worker(mexican) walks over with two new sandwiches and gives them to me and looks at me and says, Hamburger? OMG, are you joking here? I said, ummmm NO, I want an Ultimate Chicken sandwich with everything that the menu says it has on it, is that it? Yes she says, then looks at her manager like she needed interpretation here....Ok, I am gonna make sure, so I open up the sandwich and it has almost everything except the honey mustard, which it says it is suppose to have on the drive thru that I went thru like 25 minutes ago! So then the manager comes over, I say to her, "I am getting real pissed here, can I pls have my untimate chicken grill with honey mustard and EVERYTHING? So I finally get the two Ultimate Grill Chicken sandwiches, but before I leave I annouce to whoever gives a crap that if we had english speaking workers working here, they might have been able to get it eight the first time! Ya think? Reminds me of the guy who ordered happy meals with ketchup and cheese only, and he gets home and his kids see their buns with cheese and ketchup only!

Someone pls tell me what the heck ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK means?

Well, I finally ventured to the Power & Light District downtown.  I have to say, I so enjoyed myself.  We paid for valet parking-$6.00 can't even touch that!

The place was packed, but even so, I was able to get down on the floor and dance my little butt off.  I loved the music they played! I was truly in my element! I am wondering though what are they going to do when it is like in the 100's in the summer?  It was already warm in there since it was all outside.  The bathrooms didn't have a long line which is good. We tried to get into a club-the bowling alley-which was weird in itself that a bowling alley would have a club, but I could hear the music and couldn't wait to get my groove on again.  One of the guys in our little possy had too baggy of shorts, so they wouldn't let him in.  Ok, I kinda agree.  The line at what seemed to be the only bar downstairs that you could get a mixed drink, was packed.  The drink cost $7, so only had one the whole night.  Mainly though because I was dancing and didn't care!  It was like one huge rave! I will definantely be going back again, as I am tired of the riff-raff up north of the river-and I live here! I would say to dress up abit, I was in jeans with holes but they still let me in, but I did kinda feel underdressed abit.

Finally, May is over! Whew, what a long BLEEP month May was.  I hate the whole month of May for my own personal reasons, and I aways look forward to JUNE!

June used to be when we always went on our family vacation.  I would start planning it in January.  It was for the most part, any place I wanted to see or visit, so then I would do all this research and present it to my family. I think the most funnest one was when we went to Colorado in August.  Man we went white water rafting, climbed mountains, shopped, saw dust devils(that was way cool), went to a drive in theater hotel, went to the dunes-never knew there were sand dunes in Colorado even an alligator farm.  Had a blast.

So, June is also the start of the summer.  I have my daughter now with my full time.  Her and her friends have alreay been swimming in our pools after hours, playing tennis, working out, just hanging out like good teens do.  I missed her while I had been gone. Thank God she does not drive yet, so I dont have to worry about that yet.  I want her to, but I have a phobia, since my mom died in her wreck.  She can walk to a job nearby where I live.

So I am happy tomorrow is June, I will have a June 1st party! Yeah! But not go downtown now because there is going to be a soberiety checkpoint there on Sat night-crap

Heres what I know.  Last night a flight from Dallas was I guess diverted here because of a bomb scare.  They were told to park the plane at the far end of the runway.  They instead pulled up to gate 35 and unloaded all the passengers.  Why? This does not make sense to me!!!! They should have unloaded all the passengers at the end of the runway, then picked them up.  Not pull up to the gate to potentially harm other people in the airport! Leave it to KC!

So, I rarely ask for help from anyone.  I hate to be dependent on anyone.  I especially hate to ask for help since I claim to be on my own now, BUT I need some help.  Most know, I am recently separated from spouse of 27 years.  I also manage a small kiosk store up at the airport.  Here is what I need:

1.  Truck I was using(spouses) broke down two days ago off 152, supposedly had a blown engine, dont know yet, but it is gonna be costly.  Truck is still sitting in parking lot, should be towed tonight, but dont know since it will be getting towed to ex's house and probably sit forever.  I am looking for another means of transportation to and from work.  I have no money saved up at all(sucks to be independent.  I am working on cleaning my credit up and getting a reserve stash in my bank, but ever since I have moved out, I have had expenses left and right-not complaining yet.....I could probably get $500.00.  I know this is not alot of money, but somewhere, someone has something to get rid of.  Just pls keep me in yoru thoughts if you hear of anything (within the next few days because I have no way to get to work!

2.  I need to hire someone to work up at my kiosk.  Pay is $8 per hour plus commission is 10% of whatever you sell.  For every scanner you do sell, you can make at least $20!  It adds up very quickly.  The hours avilable are either 7-1 or 1-7.  I need co verage for at least two days thru the week and a sat shift and a sun shift.  Working up at the airport is alot of fun, I absolutely love my job!  So if you know of anyone who has a college or high school kid looking for a great part time job, tell them to email me at slusby44@yahoo.com.  I need to hire someone immediately!

Like I said, I hate to ask for help, but you never know what is out there to offer unless you ask!  Thanks much fellow bloggers!

So, yeah, big deal.  I know I know...I am still a mother.  You never can get away from that one.  They follow you wherever you go in life.  Thought once they got bigger they would just leave me alone, but no they are still there. I am just kidding.  I can recall all the mothers days in the past.  All the little things they made, they were so proud of them.  I still have them all.  Wished I could go back to those days. Not really, but thought it would sound good to say.  I dont miss the screamin, arguing, yelling, torturing.  Sean used to torture the hell out of Holly.  He knew exactly how to push her panic buttons.  She would screammmmmm. She knew exactly how to counter attack.  I knew they still loved each other though. Still to this day, Sean knows how to make people panic. 

I can remember every yeadrplanting flowers around the big tree in the front yard.  Oh how I miss that stupid, ant infested, oak tree,  I was there today.  Had to get a hat,  It was raining really bad and the street was flooding.  I knew the basement was probably backing up.  I didnt even go back in to check.  I dont care. I hate going over there.  I try not to. So I can remember planting the flowers on the mothers day right after my mom died.  They whole family went with me to pick out "The color of the year" of impatience to plant. Boy now theres a correct word for a flower.  Impatience, because you really have to have patience to plant those little fricken flowers! So Holly is all of three and she says, "Mommy, can I help you? I have a poon".  She meant a spoon, so of course she is helping me with her poon.  So after she plants her flower and mmoves on aroudn the tree, I go behind her and replant it deeper.  That was the most memorible moment ever.  I remember the breeze blowing in the yard, and her in her little short overalls and little white shirt.  Her long hair blowing in her face,  She had the longest hair ever.  It was beautiful.  I remember crying my eyes out when we cut it.  But we both wanted it short.  She danced all over the hair place afterwards. She thought she was so big.

And Sean.  He was so hyper! OMG, what the hell happened to him? Everyone thought he had ADHD. He probably did, but we were not going to medicate him.  He is so lathargic now! What happened? And his little voice was so high pitched.  I can remember the exact day he started calling me Mother instead of mommy or mom.  I hated that word Mother.  It sounds so formal, like I beat the hell out of my kids and make them call me that.  I miss them calling me mommy. Holly never has called me mother unless she is embarrassed at me or something.  Then she is like, "Mother" OMG Stop it! Ok, well I deserve that, I do.  But I love to embarrass them to death!  My retaliation for all the times they embarrassed me!  All the times Sean would yell in the chekout like, "Your not my mother"!!! Because I wouldnt buy him something. "Yeah" I would say back to him. "Your mom would have beat you!" or I would say back to them, "I am telling your mom that you were not behaving today!" So I did get back at them. 

Now my little Sean has a baby all of his own.  Makes me feel so old. Hard to believe sometimes he has made it this far without me.  I know he thinks he has made it without me, but I have always been there right behind him in his shadows.  I will never go away...oh man I sound like an old witch or something...hahahah  And Holly, she thinks she is so grown up.  She isnt, and I am not gonna let her.  I am right behind her too all the damn time.  They just dont know it.  It is what we mothers do.  They are our life, our existance. I will never be out of their lives, no matter what they may think!

I could get all sad right now and right about my mom, but Im not.  I usually ignore the day, with the exception of being with my own kids.  They both understand I hate the day.  Then the next day was my moms Bday, so yeah, the whole month of May sucks.  So Oh well.  Move on, get over it, wait until June, then breathe deep.

I was going to write a blog about short term memory loss, but I forgot what I was going to say! Just kiddin.  Actually, I do suffer from this.  About 11 years ago, my mom died in a horrible car accident.  She was not wearing her seatbelt and was partially thrown from her car which rolled upside down on I-29 & Barry Rd overpass.  I was at the school eating lunch with the kids.  I came home and my dads car was in my driveway.  My sisters was too.  I knew something was wrong.  I went inside and my sister took my into the hallway, she was crying.  I remember seeing her mouth words, but didnt understand what they were.  So, my brain BLEEP down.  My mom was my best friend in my whole world.  No one will ever come close. My brain just completely shut down on me.  I know now why.  I had to deal with some hard things and in order for me to get through the next few days which seemed like months, my brain just went numb.  I had to cope and this was how my mind went.  Just numb.

So, years later, I am getting better, but I still have memory loss, especially when it comes to people, places, or events or just things in general.  Whenever I first meet someone, like an employer, or co-worker, or a date, I have to tell them this so they dont get mad at me in the future over something I said but then said I didnt say or do or whatever.

Most people are ok with this, but then there are some who take ti to the next level.  I met this girl where I work and she and I became friends.  She also met a guy who she really liked. Ok, let me just say here that I meet soooo many people at what i do.  I see so many people, talk to so many people, give my card to so many people every single day! So she likes this one guy, and she goes out with him.  She tells me all about him, and one night introduces him to me at a bar.  Ok, again, let me just stop here and say, WE WERE AT A BAR! I was socializing, drinking, and having a great time.  I do not remember what you boyfriend looked like!  So, she tells me one day at work that, "Hey, #### stopped by and said he talked to you lkast friday". Ok, really? I dont think so.....but I dont remember actually. So she gets all weird on me like I am lying or something about seeing her boyfriend.  Ok, then she says to me the next day, "So why did you lie to me about seeing #####?, ummmm I didnt lie.  I said I dont remember what he looks like or who aIl I talked to on Friday, I dont remember washing my hair this morning, let alone remember your boyfriend.  So, the next day she is like, "So why would you purposly lie to me about talking to me boyfriend? So, I am thinking, maybe she has short term memory loss also! Anyways, it is real hard for me to remember where I see people I meet from my past.  I try to put on a good show and pretend, and thus far I have been real good at it! I really feel like that movie, 50 first dates with Drew Barrymore, go rent it, it is great!
