April 13 HelloHELLO HELLO HELLO
LONG TIME, NO SPACING I was doing some research and thought I would take a break to stop by and put something up here—not that I really have anything very exciting to contribute but……..
Hmmmm……where to start….
I have a new job. I guess it is the job that I always wanted. However, I never thought that it would work out this way, nor would I have ever wanted it to. *sighs*
Brandon is now 16. I am ok with the having a 16 year old part of it….its just the only 2 years away from being an adult part that is bothering me. Good grief.
Riker….oh, Riker. We have spent the day at the doctor’s office. It would seem that after 8 hours @ $303.00 an hour my son has now been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD—on top of also having epilepsy. *sighs* I am torn between being very upset that he will forever have to deal with these disorders and being pleased that there is a reason that he acts the way he does. I shouldn’t say pleased but….you have to know him to know what I mean. *sighs*
April is National Autism Awareness Month
I am becoming aware and I would like to stick a foot up the asses of those who have told me for years that it was just him being a kid, or being bratty, or seeking attention, or whatever other excuse they could think of at the time. On the bright side, Talon is just Talon. Life is smooth sailing for him. Knock on wood.
Anyway, I should get back to my research. I wish I could get around to your spaces….I need to find a few more hours in a day.
Missing you… Me January 24 .Hello …. Since I can not bring myself to delete this space (I will be back….someday) I thought I might just take a moment away from doing taxes and put something up here. I have to start with a great big THANK YOU to those who still stop by and say hello. I am very sorry that I have not had any of my usual nothingness for you to read or been around to return comments but my computer still lies in its coma. Between my procrastinating ass and my rotten little bastard of a nephews excuses I am beginning to think that it will never be revived. Maybe I will have to break down and actually pay someone to fix whatever it is that I broke. I cannot even begin to briefly describe the events that have happened to me since last post so I will just leave this….lucky you… I kept the Saturn when I bought my Impala. Why….hmmmmm…cause it isn’t worth anything but still looks and runs good enough to drive. It does not get driven often but sometimes I use it since driving it saves miles on the Impala and it gets much better gas mileage. It has been months since it was last used but I thought nothing of bringing it out the other day. It never even occurred to me that we would not make the trip to my sister’s house alone. Yes, halfway through the trip a freaking mouse crawled out of the heat vent and onto the dash. It ran around for a bit before deciding to return to its “home.” I swear if the boys would not have been with me I would have bailed right then. DISGUSTING! I will never drive the Saturn again! I best get back to taxes. May you have a wonderful mouse free day… Jillian
P.S. Missing you.… It is either this stupid computer or stupid MSN but I can’t get in to say hi so here is your “hey you.” You know the rest. *SMILES*

Do you go see Santa with the kids?We have not been to see Santa since Talon was 2. When Talon was asked what he wanted he so very excitedly screamed out "rainbow cocks."

Rudolph..of course. 12. Worse thing about Christmas?How very mean and rotten the people in the stores get. YIKES. RELAX....it’s Christmas. 13. Do you give to charities this time of the year?

*SIGHS*
Due to a tragic accident my computer has died or at least fell into a deep coma.
Thank you for all the advice on the Joe/Shona entry.
Special thanks to Jesse for the cookie....I love it...Thanks for thinking of me.
Till I return....have a wonderful day--
November 28
Joe is Homer And I need some advice
I tried to tell him that he can not give Shona a bowling ball for a gift because he wanted one.
my problem…
Joe has asked me to help plan a VERY large surprise 30th birthday party for Shona. Large as in rent a hall and whole deal! I am all for planning parties on someone else’s dime but….
SHE IS GOING TO HATE THIS
1st…she has yet to admit she is over 25 2nd …she likes large groups of people even less than I do 3rd…the party will be for him
I have known her for the entire 30 years…he has not… I know these things…he does not… However, he is the one that has to live with her... I can just go home...so...
Do I clue her in on it so she can put a stop to it or do I plan away and just let her be pissed at me for the next 30 years? ~Shopping List~vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv I thought that I would try to “hide” my shopping list here this year Wishes and Ideas I am sure this will be changed and/or added to daily... I WANT, I WANT, I WANT... The list is becoming ridiculous…I think I will give it to their dad!

There are 27 days till Christmas! (I guess those empty spaces above mean that I need to go shopping) vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
November 27 holiday ventsI have enjoyed my holiday and I love being with my family but…
There is no place like home… There is no place like home…
THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME!
I am THANKFUL that it is over!
A million little uneventful things have happened to me since venturing to my sisters on Wednesday night. Yes, I have pretty much lived there since then. Why? I have no idea. She only lives 12 miles from here. I could have easily come home to save what little sanity I had left but no…I stayed and pushed the limits. You see, that is what we do. We get together for the holidays and do not leave till it is over. It is a huge non-stop buffet with gossip at one table and games at the other. “The Wizard of Oz” plays for whoever is sick of whatever else is going on in the place.
It is a great time.
I loved playing with the little ones!
I wrestled with Tanner and Trenton.
(I know they took pictures and they better not try to blackmail me with them)
I played princess with Sidda and Maicey.
(I am the princess!)
You can not possibly find entertainment like this anywhere else but it must
be taken in small doses. For years, I have worked on the holidays
so I missed at least 8 hours a day on this 4 day weekend.
This year I didn’t have to work so I got to “enjoy” the entire thing.
TOO MUCH!
I had a few choice words for my nephews “welfare rat” of a girlfriend (yes, he can do so much better than her…sighs.) She is one of those people…you know…the person who complains of how hard life is but gets everything they have off our tax dollars. The same person who only shops at the mall, only wears Victoria’s Secret undergarments, gets her nails done weekly, and buys steaks with her food stamps. It also seems that she likes to bring treats for her child only. Ok, fine…but there are 20 other kids here that don’t understand why there are no Capri Suns or candies for them. I don’t feel bad about yelling at the rat, I feel bad that I hurt my nephew’s feelings by doing it. He said he understood why I yelled but that he wished just once that we could make it through the holiday without a fight. I am sorry Chad but she can kiss my butt and tell her to get a job.
I was tired. I couldn't take it any longer. I had to come home.
First thing this morning I am back there. What was I thinking? We are going to play cards. I don’t play cards. I would rather play Trivial Pursuit, Cranium, or even the dreaded Monopoly than play cards. I haven’t got a clue how to play this card game nor the games that it is “based” off of but they will walk me through it. I ask for the brief outline of how to play and what to do to win as my sister just starts slamming me with rules about this book and that book and blah blah blah. Slow down. Shona quickly explains simple….4 piles…3 pairs…do this…do that….win by getting rid of your 4 piles. OK. We are playing along and I go out. My sister nearly jumped out of her chair and starts screaming at me about how I just fucked her and how rude I am. She continues to scream that I should have paid attention to their hands and had known that they would have too many points if I went out at that time. I calmly told her that she left the part out about making sure her fat ass was ready when I discarded my last card. She told me that they would no longer “take it easy” on me
if that was how I was going to play.
JEEPERS FREAKING CREEPERS…
no wonder I hate playing cards.
I quit!
Like I said…it wasn’t all bad and I love my family but I think I will stay home till Christmas. November 24

heart and home today and always
November 22 A total of 637,387 gun deer hunting licenses had been sold through today in the State of Wisconsin. Hunters registered 161,286 deer over the opening weekend. BUT.... THERE HAVE BEEN NO "GREAT KILLS" BY ANYONE I KNOW!
They should have listened to my tips! Maybe next weekend "Chief Hillbilly Hart" will get em.
Diary of a Deer Hunter 1:00 AM: Alarm clock rings.
HAVE A WONDERFUL NIGHT
November 19 Day 1
Some Tips For “Chief Hillbilly Hart” · When tracking deer on snow, always be aware that deer often tend to circle back to see what is following them. · Big bucks tend to make their scrapes on high ground. · No matter how good your spot is, don't hunt there on consecutive days. You stand an excellent chance of contaminating the area with your scent. · The route a deer takes can often tell you what the sex is. Large bucks tend to go over and around obstructions. Does are likely to crawl under a fallen tree or weave through a thicket. · You can forget about hunting rubs or scrapes during the rut because bucks move in totally unpredictable patterns during that time. · Look for beaver ponds running east and west. Since deer tend to travel north and south they will likely be forced around one end or the other, increasing your odds of seeing deer there. · Most deer are shot on the downwind side of a food source. · If you would like to excite a buck in your hunting area, consider taking soil from a scrape in another area and placing it in a scrape near your stand. Be careful not to leave any human scent. · One study concludes that over 95% of the scrapes bucks made in an area would be used again the next year. · Since most heat escapes through the head, a little baking soda in the hat would help eliminate any odors escaping with the heat and moisture.
Not that he needs them...LMAO Go get them, Dedo
Two hunters were dragging their dead deer back to their car. Another hunter approached pulling his along too. GOOD LUCK BE SAFE HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY November 18 Hunting
Buck Fever Is Here...
and there are approximately 1.7 million White Tail Deer in Wisconsin that are just waiting for my son to kill them.
Somehow, even though I don’t own a gun, I don’t hunt, I don’t eat the venison, I am the one who HAD to buy Brandon the license. Doesn’t his dad know that I want nothing to do with my son being in the woods while carrying a gun. Since Brandon is “lucky” enough to have access to several “prime” pieces of hunting land, my great hunter is plotting his strategy at this very moment. He will go here this day and over there the next. He can get this many deer on this tag and then he can use the CWD tags to get this many more (great..sick deer on top of it.) I even got to hear, “The kill will be great, Ma.” OK…Chief HillBilly Hart. I understand why there is hunting, in fact, I am quite pleased with the fact that it will result in a few less deer that I have to worry about running into. I just wish it were not my son out there doing the deed. As if I didn’t have enough to worry about. I wonder if he would wear a bullet proof jacket for me. I don't suppose so.
November 15 I have been tagged!Okay, here's what you're supposed to do. And try not to be LAME and spoil the fun! Just give in. Copy this entire thing and paste it into your space. Change all of the answers so that they apply to you.
The theory is that you will learn a lot of little known facts about your friends. It is fun and easy.

WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? That would be Shona on Sunday night. I HATE talking on the phone. 9. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT THE OPPISITE SEX? His eyes, his smell, and his shoes 10. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO TAGED YOU WITH THIS? Yes, of course… 11. HOW ARE YOU TODAY? Do you want the truth? Holy Crap...I hurt, I am tired, and I am freezing. It was occasionally raining each time I had to go outside today which means I spent the day being wet. The hurt and the tired are left over from yesterday. I suppose other than that I am ok. No, wait, I have horrible heartburn. Alright, other than that I am ok. 12. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE DRINK? Water or Minute Maid Cranberry Apple Raspberry 13. FAVOURITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK?

I have never asked anyone out but I don’t think it is because I am too shy. Maybe? 24. SCARY MOVIE OR HAPPY ENDINGS BETTER? That completely depends on my mood. I like them both! 25. SUMMER OR WINTER? Both! I love summer activities but I also love winter. Not for the cold or even the activities but for the snow. There is nothing quite like a freshly fallen snow sparking in the moonlight. 26. HUGS OR KISSES? Depends on who is giving me hugs and/or kisses. 27. RELATIONSHIPS OR ONE NIGHT STANDS?

Person I Admire Most: MOM dad
*smiles*
A beautiful young New York woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the ocean. But just before she could throw herself from the docks, a handsome young sailor stopped her. "You have so much to live for," said the sailor. "Look, I'm off to Europe tomorrow and I can stow you away on my ship. I'll take care of you, bring you food every day, and keep you happy." With nothing to lose, combined with the fact that she had always wanted to go to Europe, the woman accepted. That night the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a lifeboat. From then on, every night he would bring her three sandwiches and make love to her until dawn. Three weeks later she was discovered by the captain during a routine inspection. "What are you doing here?" asked the captain. "I have an arrangement with one of the sailors," she replied. "He brings me food and I get a free trip to Europe. Plus he's screwing me." "He certainly is," replied the captain. "This is the Staten Island Ferry."
