I've had kids all day....all....day. You know what that's like. I love them, but, I'm exhausted. That's Alissa and our cousin, Autumn. Autumn's been here all day, which is totally cool. She's a really sweet, polite little kid and I love her. Her dad is Bitch Face's grandson and him and his wife moved down here for awhile to take care of BF who's been released. But, she had a relapse and went back to the hospital today. THAT is a long story and I'll spare you for now. A bunch of the family is mad at each other and all the living arrangements over there are changing and that's where this house I want comes into play. But, that's enough on that shit. It's sort of demented and I'll explain that dysfunction in another post, if I need to. (For my own self.) Anyway, Autumn has been here all day and yesterday too. Lis and her are so much alike, except Lis is mouthier. Autumn is welcome to spend the night here if she wants. The two of them together are too cute. It's easier to watch two, than one, any day. You moms know how that goes. They're both pretty good kids. The age difference isn't much at all, but, the size difference is. Alissa is extra tall for her age and Autumn is teeny tiny. They sure can't share clothes, but, they try anyhow.
I took the girls yard sailing today (this weekend is town wide!) and they were allowed to buy anything marked 50 cents or less. I taught them which yard sales are big rip offs and how to walk away. Idiots trying to sell a used dress for $15 dollars. Really? Is it a Vera Wang wedding gown, because otherwise, get the fuck out of here. The girls absolutely raided the 25 cent tables and I hardly said no to anything. I thought it was hilarious to see what they picked.
They got stuff I couldn't believe I let them drag home, this isn't even a fraction of it. Plus the clueless thought they were cute and gave them loads of shit like boxes of stuffed animals and games for free. But, somewhere in that mess, they did choose some cool things. Lis got an old ceramic cat with high price antique markings and Autumn bought the oddest old celluloid Chinese man carrying water. Those kids have the oddest taste. Autumn loves salt and pepper shakers. Do other little kids collect those, I wonder? It's funny how they're hiding thier faces. They screamed, 'We know you put us on the Internet!' They saw my FB post. But, it's crazy because they were making a haul video to post dressed in Kesha clothes, (they thought). What ever. They can't figure out how to post to You Tube. I'll be nuts when they do. I told them there are rules, but, you can never really trust kids. It's just one more thing to keep an eye on.
There I am picking up toys. Today, it's just easier to pick them up myself. Trust me. Tuwella has been on me ALL day long. I am not kidding. She usually fights with Lissa half the day. But, today, Lis has been busy with Autumn and she hasn't been over there once. Not once. So, the old lady comes over here to pick fights with the kid. It's ridiculous. She's pissed because she let the kids play in her yard sale room yesterday and they fucked it up. Well, she's the one who told them they could play there! So I made them clean it up, but, she's still mad! So, she comes over here, like ten times, for real, to bitch about them leaving toys in the yard. But, they weren't even through playing with them and technically it's MY part of the yard. I finally went out and picked them up and that's all there was. I don't even think that's worth bitching about. She kept screaming that Joey was gonna mow, but, I talked to him and he wasn't. She's just senile and fucked up.
I know this is stupid, I told you I wouldn't read it if I were you. You were warned. Anyhow, so that's not all she's senile bitching about. She's crazed because the kids went across the street, but, I gave them permission! She was crazed because no one was home over there, but, 'them boys'. Them boys are grown men and our stupid family. Autumn just wanted to get something. I could see them from my house. I was out in front working on the old lady's flower bed. But, oh, no. She wasn't having it. She bitched about the dangerous dogs in the girl's path. Bitch, bitch, bitch. The dogs are tied up and they aren't mean anyway. What the fuck does she want me to do? Get the gun and go shoot them? She bitched because 'them boys' were probably drunk. So what, they're legal. Does she think they'll offer the kids a beer or what? I mean, jesus christ, they're our family, they aren't child molesters. I could see them throwing water balloons at the girls from where I was standing. That's the relationship they have. I didn't get to smoke one whole cig all day, because Tuwella had me running for nothing all day. She was on a bitch roll, like I have never seen. I mean, neither of these kids went over there all day and she still yelled at them and picked fights! She had to come over here to do it. It was fucking crazy. Autumn is super polite, so I stood up for her, but, Lis is a mouth from hell and she yelled right back. I had a hard time correcting her, because she was in the right. I mean, fuck, the yard sale room mess was over, that was yesterday and she's been corrected. But, Tuwella kept it up. I told her to stop it and go home, but, she kept coming back all day. Picking fights and yelling. And wanting me to help with her yard sale, which I did and she still bitched. She's really fucking losing it.
So, that's my day. It would have been fun, except for the old lady. I hope she's better tomorrow. Because her picking screaming fights with these two kids is not my idea of a good time. She's like the bad kid you can't send home. It's ridic. Anyone else have old seniles like that? I'm going to make us all home made pizza now. It's getting dark, so maybe Tuwella will stay home. I hope. I'm hungry, I'm gonna go start dinner and let the girls put the toppings on. Oh, Autumn gets to stay all night, her dad just said so. That's cool. They're having such fun together. It's crazy, but, in a nice way.
I don't know if you can see that, but, my Moon Flower seeds sprouted after only one day in water! I mean, those puppies are ready to grow. I managed to get them all in the ground today with Tuwella following me around yelling about kids and dogs and everything she could think of. I am so glad these seeds are good because they're hard to come by and that ice storm sheered mine off at the ground. It was the first time I had ever gotten them to grow here, so I was pretty bummed. I can't bitch though, I didn't lose much really.
That's the siding on Tuwella's house. Some old fucked up porch siding she's got by the garbage cans. You can see how that ice slammed it. I feel bad for people with aluminum siding, I'll bet they got fucked. That's not just paint knocked off in that pic. There's a hole in every mark. I can slap some leftover paint on the worst of it, but, geez, can you imagine how hard that shit was coming down..and all night too. That had to be the weirdest storm I have ever witnessed. And in June, for cripes sakes.

Are u really trying to stop smoking? That's awesome. I did it, long ago. Cold turkey. No problem. Even if you're not trying, that's a pretty good start.
Pizza Party is such a good game. We still have ours.its like Old Maid with pizza ingredients. So fun for kids.
Rox, a big NO. You can pry them from my cold dead hands. That and coffee are all I have left.
But, good to know on Pizza Party, that was free. I like playing board games with them if they're good ones. I like pop up Trouble, we make it wicked.
Oh, and Lissa like Ouija. I can't contact shit on it, but, she claims she does and tells these wild stories. It's pretty funny what she comes up with.
cute, but I could not stand spending my time with them. Kids voices grind on my soul. Listening to children is pure torture.
Those two little girls are cute, playing in that pool! I'll bet they think you are the best grandma ever! You let them do fun stuff, but not get away with things they shouldn't.
I'm sorry your mom is being such a pain. It can't be easy living next to her. I hope that situation changes soon.

DD, what is your opinion of using the Ouija? I have read in a few artcles that they should not be used. Is that just a lot of bs? I remember playing with one when I was little, but I'm pretty sure my sister was moving it.
