Fatty Patty and her trip to Car Hail.

Fall is here in down south Alabama, YES!!!! Can you feel my excitment!?! Maybe not, but Im DEF thrilled!!! Anywho, so Im feeelinggg WAYYYYY better!!! Woot Woot! Bay Fest is this weekend and I couldn't be more excited! Bay Fest is a downtown music festival. I can't wait to see Billy Currington...ehh hmmm, yum. Couldn't get anybetter, btw....last night was total HAIL.

We met up with a few of our friends at Los Rancheros and after dinner we stood in the parking lot chatting with Marlie a bit before we were off to WM.........SQQIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRREEEEECH.... We were going no where. The dang battery was dead....KAAPUUT. How does this happen, why car lords have you done this to me?

So not only did it die, the part that holds the battery in place decided to break.....

Now fatty patty (that would be myself) had to climb over into the back of the car and try to get the jumper cables out....uh huh...yeah. Of course the hatch wouldn't lift, so here I am dangling, bum in the air, in the middle of my two kiddos, Nick hitting my bum screaming I spank you MOMMY!!!!, Im there trying to open the stupid part that hides the spare and our jumper cables, I will ask again, WHY CAR LORDS, WHY??!!?? So after 30 mins of lots of silent F bombs, which by the way I hate that word, I finally got to the dang jumper cables.....

When I get my big self out of the back of the car, Im sweaty, stinky and want to vom, Mexican food, 2 margaritas and hanging over the back seat for 30+mins does not mix well....

Hubbs hugs me and says thank you babes. You are awesome. Whatev. Do not talk to me. I do not want to talk, I want to go home. BTW, I was laughed at half of the time. Marlie and Hubbs are quite the joksters. Te.he..he.

So off I go to WM, to find a battery for our loving Equinox. I was like dang 50 bucks for a stinkin battery...Urgh, Im trading you in tomorrow Equinox, you just wait. I no longer love you. So I go to the battery looker up thingy and to my surprise, it doesn't cost 50$ it cost 75. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME??

Hubbs is very impaitent and isn't a machanic, Im surprised he even knows where the oil goes... he tells me its broke. Excuse me??? WHATS BROKE????? The peice that holds the battery in. Really, WHAT THE SHIMMY do you suppose we do about this? Well, Marlie's Hubb is like MACHANIC MAN and say we have to have an extenstion??? WHAT? So to end this long dragged out story, little bitty equinox is still sitting there, enjoy the rain and smell of Mexican food, 25 mins away, awaiting his revival.

Please car lords! I beg you, bring Equinox back to life today, sometime before tonight.

Have a WUNDAFUL weekend ya'll!!!

Davony's 1st Birthday

Alright Dolls, I've got tons to tell you, but I feel like poop, so I will make this short and sweet. Saturday was a great day although I spent most of the day stressing and wanting to cry like a big fat baby because a MONSOON was coming down outside. Yes dolls, it rained to say the least! One hour till her party we had to call everyone on the invite list and tell them the party had been switched to Marilyn's (Justin's sister) house. I can't even start to tell you how dang stressed I was. Most of the decorations were not up, but it turned out cute anyways. So, here are the pics and my little cupcake had a blast at her party.

Birthday Girl!

Some of the Decorations!

Aren't those cupcakes super pretty?

Such a Cutie!!!

Birthday Cake!

She thought it was YUMMMY!!

We had such a fun day! Even though it rained.

For now Im going to go relax....

I'm really hoping its not the flu.

Hope ya'll had an amazing weekend.

Take Care Tuesday,

Friday Car Fieldtrip.

Hey Dolls.

We are leaving today for the dreaded 5 hour car fieldtrip from Mobile to Blount County! RAWR! I hate being in the car for hours, but atleast I get to spend it with Hubbs and the kiddos. Singing and Laughing and trying to get Hubbs to control his ROAD RAGE. I sometimes believe he needs to see a therapist about this. So pray I don't go crazy before we get there! Anyways, Tomorrow is a BIG day, I can't wait. Well Loves, Im going to leave you with this while we're on the road again!

We got the news today...

It's OURS.

Little Yellow House, I am happy to call you mine.

I can't wait to move into your cozy rooms and cook in your kitchen.

November can't come any faster!

As I do back handsprings, I hope you all had a BLESSED MONDAY!!!

Here's to a huge back yard, new neighbors and a beautiful place to call our own,

Don't rain on her parade.

(Img copied from: Photobucket)

Rain Rain Go Away.

Im tired of you.

This weekend is Davony's party.

Please don't rain on her day.

Thank You.

My Loves, how was your weekend? I hope it was swell.

Hubbs and I relaxed, played with the babies, and day dreamed about (our) Little Yellow House. We talked to G today, G is the Landlord.

Landlord is such a silly word, it makes me giggle and makes me think of the Medieval Times....and that was a very random moment from me.

Okay, so back to G...he's such a nice man.

Hopefully this works out in our favor.

Im Praying.

Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust...right???

Did I happen to mention that Alabama won yesterday?

Oh yes they sure did, which was awesome for me,

because Hubbs didn't turn into a GRUMP.

Which leads me to this....

Have I ever told you about the GRUMP who lives in my house when Bama loses? He is known to ya'll as Hubbs and he doesn't take loosing too kindly. He hates it matter of fact, and would like nothing more than to sulk all day and night after we have lost or maybe even a week depending on the score. This my dear Alabama team mates is excruciating...so Please, Rammer Jammer, Yellow Hammer, Give Em' Hell Alabama, atleast for my sanity anyways....

Here's to next weekend.

Davony turning the BIG ONE!!!!!!

Going home to spend family time.

and (the sometimes dreaded)

Alabama Football

Where did my weekend go,

Little Yellow House

Today we came face to face with this Little Yellow House.

Happy Saturday Ya'll,

Mission: Home is where the heart is.

This is an exciting time for us...

it also comes with stress....

I think I've looked at over 50 houses.

After calling and emailing about 32 of them...

We finally have 2 appointments tomorrow.

A measly 2.

But I guess I have to look on the brighter side.

House, wherever are, please let yourself be known.

That Would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Join me as I drive Hubbs and Myself crazy...
trying to find the perfect little house.

Wherever that may be.
Good Night Ya'll,

Wednesday, I thought you were Tuesday.

Yesterday's blog was closed with Happy Wednesday, but in fact it was Tuesday.
I'm loosing what little of my mind I have left.
The past few days have been a bit foggy for me.
For today, Wednesday, I need to clean.
It's almost my most favorite time of the year, Fall.
My house it disgusting and Im being a bit of a procrastinator today.
I want my house to smell like fall, so after Im done cleaning,
I will indeed go to target and by some fall smelling candles.
Oh yes I will.
Okay I found motivation to clean my house.
Candles are my motvation for today.

Its Officially Wednesday Ya'll,

Jerk of the Year Award.

I ususally don't post about this stuff but this made me so angry.

Now many of you watched the VMAs on Sunday night, as to your surprise as well as mine, this moment was not expected.

MTV Shows

All I really have to say is Kanye, pull up your pants, shut your trap, sit back in your seat and realize after this "act of coolness" or whatever you may think it was, just shot your chance of beign the "COOL GUY" down the drain.

Oh and I gladly present this award to you, so give yourself a round of Applause for WINNING...

JERK OF THE YEAR AWARD!!

Im happy that Mr. Leno put you in your place and you too shared humility in front of millions, really Kanye, what would your Mom have said?


Kuddos to Taylor for winning Best Female Vid! You Rock Taylor. Keep on being you and maybe next year you'll get another VMA and yet again Kanye will go home with ZERO, because we all know that your music isn't very good and Kris Allen sung Heartless way better than you ever did...

Happy Tuesday,

The ADORABLE Blogger AWARD.

To my dear sister Paulina, I couldn't thank you enough for being so kind as to think I am lovely!! Not only did this make my day, because the last few days have been really tough on me, it's my first AWARD and I'm just GIDDY that it came from you!!!!! I am super excited and want to thank you Sister of Mine for being such an amazing person!! You are more than shabby, you my friend are FANTAB! Thank you Paulina and I love you, I hope you had an AMAZING 25th Birthday! Muah to you! Oh, and if you haven't Checked her out click on her name and it will send you straight there!

So, Im not too sure as how this works, but I want to pass this along to my blogging friend Preppy Coastee. You should drop by her blog and say hello! Even better she is a fellow Coastee, which makes us family...kinda! I enjoy her blog to the MAX and think its pretty dang ADORABLE! So Thank you Preppy Coastee for giving me something worth reading for the day!! Oh, and thank you again for doing what you do everyday for our country!

XoXo,

Making Amends.

Yesterday was a very sad day for me, as well as today and tomorrow will be just as hard. But with the sorrow of loosing Luke, brought hope for mine and my father's relationship. I know in the first few post I wrote about how my father went against his vows and cheated on my mother, I was 16 and I only chose my mother's side. He was out of the question for quite some time. Over the last few years we've had more than a rocky relationship. My father raised me as his own, (he adopted me at 3 weeks) loved me, cared for me, as a father should. So after my daughter was born I yet to reciecve a phone call for 2 weeks.

Man, was that a cut to the throat. I visited him only a few times after that. He completely stopped calling. For months now, Ive bite my tounge, hung up our relationship, and tossed away the key he ha to my heart. We haven't talked since D was around 3 months, now being that she's turning 1 in 2 weeks, its been a while since he's seen Nick or Davie. Okay, I admit, I was selfish. But...he hasn't done his share either. Its both ends that are stubborn here. So today, after loosing a friend, made me realize, God can take anyone away, at any given time, without a goodbye.

So I called my father in tears and admitted I had been selfish towards him and that Luke's passing was a HUGE wake up call for me. I couldn't live with myself if I lost my Daddy and never said goodbye to him. So we made amends. It's different, but he is going to try to be more in touch and I am going to try and accept his new life, with the other woman. So I guess you learn lessons the hard way sometimes, but Im just happy that I can restart this relationship with my father and give him back the key to my heart.

Happy Saturday,

My Dear friend Luke.

He was a great son, brother, uncle and most of all he was a great friend. The pain I feel dwells in my heart, my body is cold, I feel numb inside, I can't understand it. Ive known you for 17 years, where did the time go, where did all the hellos go? Graduation night was the last night I got to tell you good bye. I hope you can remember our good times. Our 5 year is almost here and your gone, never to give me a sarcastic remark...but in spirit I know you will always be, in our hearts. We will never forget you and your hair! Your red cheeks and your smart remarks.

You my friend will truly be missed.

We will never forget you.

I love you.

RIP LUKE BRYANT

September 12, 2009

Its Friday... Happy Dance!!

Today I am Happy.

Happy that I am able to live the life I have.

Ive watched:Willy Wonka and Finding Nemo countless times today.

Just because Nicholas wanted me to.

I tried to get Davony to walk to me today, she refused.

I successfully did nothing today around the house.

My post for today was blank as I wondered what the shimmy I was going to write about.

So this is what Im writing about today.

Nothing.

So tonight I will enjoy a few glasses of wine and do a Happy Dance.

Oh Lord.

Let the Sharades begin.

Happy Friday Y'all,

PS: I joined the Site The Secret is in the Sauce. You should check them out!

Is this really Memory Wednesday??

You will not leave me alone. What gives you the right to keep hurting me? Its been years, why are you still haunting me? Why can't I shake you, WHY WHY WHY? Please tell me how, how, how, how! Go away, just go away!

Sorry guys, I had a bad experience last night, that brought back a lot of bad memories for me. I just had to rant and get that off my chest.

Better Days,

Wednesday you bring me Memories!

In all my 18 years of living in the small pea sized town of Royal, Alabama, I never realized its beauty. This weekend I had a chance to take it all in and it felt amazing to just breathe in the clean air.. . From the Winding little dirt roads, to the amazing view of the mountains through the tree tops, I enjoyed everybit of it. On the way to the cabin we had to take a little dirt road, on that dirt road is a very infamous bridge, Cry Baby Bridge. My Grandmother used to tell my very scary stories of this bridge and all other types of bridges, cemeteries, houses, etc....to a 8 year old, its the truth. I guess it stuck with me?? So on with this bridge, story is if you put a Baby Ruth, yes the candy bar, on the side of the bridge, you will hear a baby's cry, then when you run like hell from being scared POOPLESS, you eventually come back to see if the candy bar is still there and whenever you return, (like heck I would) its gone. I guess some infant crawls up and eats it, who knows. I didn't try any of this, but I did have to drive over it Saturday night, while it was raining, dark and spooky out. The driver in front of me was only going 20 mph and I WAS FREAKING OUT. But the Driver has a very good reason to why he was going so slow....Bleh, back to the story. Hubbs was griping about me having a panic attack in the drivers seat. Ehh Hmm. I was afraid the dang car was going to breakdown as soon as we cross it and a scary infant is going to jump out and eat me alive. Im a scare-deeeee cat when it comes to ghost, ghost stories, horror films, anything on the terms of scary. After watching The Ring when I was a Sophmore, Ive slept with the lights on. So anyways, I just thought I might tell you this little story. Who knows, it could be a grumpy old troll who lives under that bridge who likes to eat Baby Ruth's. But Im not going to try it out. I hope you enjoyed this little tale.
Have a great Day my Lovies!
