So as most of you know it is almost Turkey day. I am excited and aggravated cause my house is a wreck. My Four year old is going through a phase as well... most of you have heard her mouth run. Either way today has been totally uneventful. I am scrubbing the Turkey Deep Fryer pot as we speak and getting it ready to do yet again it's one of two duty's this year. We deep fry up to 3 turkeys at thanksgiving and about the same on Christmas.
I am not a big fan of pork, I don't care for ham. I am very particular about how my pig is cooked. I am very much afraid of trichinosis! I have read some old articles about it and it is very dangerous and no one is safe... (dramatic effect music in the back ground) Either way I just steer Clear of the pigs... they are cute and cuddly, but dangerous to eat.
Kailey and I played some Wii Fit, I tell you what I feel like a lard sometimes, the fit told me that my Fit age is 48 which means I'm horribly overweight and out of shape. Not only am I 26 with grey hair, arthritis, and a slew of other aging physical problems. But I am trying to eat right. Yes I took up clean eating back in September lost a bit over 10lbs by the end of October and now I have tapered off. I am bound and determined to get back on it though.
Now so goes my day. I talked to Anna on the phone she is headed out of state with her hoard of children to go to see her daddy, this may be his last thanksgiving and she is going to take them and go spend it with him. Hopefully their feast is good... her hubby went to.. so I hope they have a good visit with him. He has Pancreatic Cancer and things haven't been well for him.
Buddy just left to get out of the house for a bit. I am going to continue to scrub my turkey pot shinny, measure out how much oil I'm going to need and figure everything out tonight so that it will be ready for tomorrow.
I am going to make a great green bean casserole in the morning, some mashed potatoes and gravy I got me a nice TURKEY serving dish very heavy very pretty. I got a matching GRAVY boat lol... YES I am now the proud owner of a Gravy boat he he.
I went up the hill and made inventory of my mom and dads house because they had a guy move in who was supposed to remodel it while they were not living in it, well needless to say he fixed it up before he moved in. Lived there for 2 years rent free... demolished the interior and exterior grounds of the home and left it like that.
This guy took the tongues under the house... yes it is a double wide, and they are on a trailer type frame that is suspended by pillars and the tongues are shoved underneath them so if you ever have to move the house you would remove the pillars lower it to the ground, pull the tongues out and lock them into place separate the 2 parts of the house and move it with a large truck... but now you would have to get new tongues.
This guy wrecked my fences him and his drunken buddies took my fence down (where animals were living) and decided they were going to make big stacks of junk in my pasture. Then they proceeded to burn the big piles and the fire department was called I bought replacement items and he stole them instead of replacing my fence. Goats were out police were called. He acted like he had nothing to do with it.
I said something to my father and he said something to them and the guy never replaced anything. His children knocked doors off hinges (they have 5)... he replaced the doors with doors that didn't fit and wont shut.
Tore light switches off walls (how? I'm still not sure) Wrote on walls, knocked holes in walls, molds everywhere on the walls, floors are sagging like someone spilt water all over them and just let it stay there. Screens are gone off all windows, window panes are missing... why you would take the interior or exterior window I am not sure but I tell you these people are crazy. Pieces of wood screwed over holes in walls! I think the insurance company is going to consider this a demolition project
Piles of junk in the back yard stacked over your head.. including a toilet just sitting in the back yard why i am not sure, I guess they wanted an out house without the house!
So I guess cleaning and cooking will be the highlight of my night! Oh, by the way Kailey is already in bed its only 8 I am SO excited!!!

So today work was uneventful. I hate that I am SO Tired Kailey kept me up late last night and I feel SO drained. I can't hardly walk or stay awake. I need to get that kid straight.
I am kicking ass and taking names at work today I have gotten a lot done by now. I am SO excited I have to leave early though cause I am going to take Kailey to CHEER yay.
So I get Kailey to cheer and we are waiting on Anna, needless to say with Anna's hectic life she has forgotten about cheer and I am trying to call her but no one is answering. She finally calls back and she is running late cause she did forget.
She gets to cheer and she and I run to the bank so she can get money to pay for Norah's outfit cause the competition is coming up and the parade and they have to have their whole cheer attire to be in either.
Kailey isn't doing SO good tonight, she said she didn't want to cheer tonight and she is being really rude and not even trying. I want to let her quit but if I do what am I teaching her?
When she did pageants, yes I did the whole pageant thing but I wasn't crazy pageant mom. At first she loved them and did well, she would get up on stage smile and wave and blow kisses and have fun. Then Last year in January I took her to one and she didn't want to do anything but hide behind me. My dad bought her a gumball out of a machine and told her after she went up on stage for the last time he would give it to her but she had to smile and wave to him.
She did and everyone liked her but the judges had already made there decision on another little girl that didn't hide when she went up the first time (Yes the kids had to enter the stage 3 times) After that I didn't make her go back or do another pageant... I figure if she didn't Enjoy it and had to be bribed I wasn't going to do it.
With cheer its a bit different I mean after this season I will give her the option to do cheer next season but I have questioned weather I should just let her quit or force her to go. Some days she is excited about it and does good when she goes, but others she acts out and says she is bored and doesn't want to do it.
I am not sure what triggers this reaction on these days. LOL I am not sure what triggers her to be anyway on any day. Either way I don't bribe her I just tell her that "We signed up for cheer, cause she was given the option to do it with her friend Norah, and she is going to stick it out weather she likes it or not!"
When I was a kid I would have killed to have gotten to do anything that had other little girls at it. I got to go to girl scouts and I loved it. But most places I didn't fit in cause I was only exposed to farm life, and boys! I had a brother and he had lots of friends, they came over all the time. My grandmother babysat a majority of boys.. the few girls were much older than me!
So therefore I didn't know how to fit in with other girls my own age! I want Kailey to get to do all the things I would have done if given the chance and parents with the means and money for me to be involved. Also it is healthy for her to do things that don't involve TV and sitting on the couch!
Since Kailey is an only child it is key I do things outside and with other children cause I want her to know how to act around other kids sad thing is I didn't know anyone with other kids until Kailey was around 2 or a bit older! I think she was 2.5 years old. So she was already kind of a loner spoiled only child!
She wasn't handed everything don't get me wrong just spoiled with attention mainly from all the adults surrounding her.
So we went to McDonald's after cheer and then home. The bed time dance began at 9pm and even though I tried to lay down with her I fell asleep she did not! She woke me up and I have been supper sleep deprived by this child! I am way too tired to deal with this and I yell at her and crap and it becomes more of a BLOOD PRESSURE rising mind about to explode ordeal. Her father comes in yelling at me and going on, and he ends up taking her to bed with him.
I am down for the count yet again Kailey 20 Amanda 0. Now you see why I blog. I feel like my life doesn't belong to me anymore at this point and is being ran by a 4 year old who acts like she is in her 20's, and a man who makes up excuses for her every little move! He is causing our child to be a blamer! Yes you know that kid who blames everything on someone else... if there is not someone else to blame it on she blames it on the DOG!! OK so scrappy is mischievous but he can't climb into the fridge and knock over eggnog! Or pour his own glass of milk!
Ok So for now this is it. It is an ear full and probably boaring you out of your gourd but thanks for checking in and with the words of Nancy Grace lol GOOD NIGHT FRIEND!
