Long Weekend!
I was really looking forward to the long weekend. However, Bill said that I always have a long weekend due to not having to go back to work. Excuse me? Take a week and walk in my shoes bubba! I had a few others say that this weekend as well! Whateva!
Friday I was supposed to get together with my friend Mindy and her daughter, but she had to cancel. So we stayed around the area doing some errands!
Saturday was a great day. It didn't start well, but it got better! We got up so that we could begin our cemetery planting. Well we got up later than we wanted, threw on what we were wearing yesterday and headed over there. It's 2 houses down, so it's not far. I got into the passenger seat, moved the big bottle of Wacky Watermellon Bubble Bath and off we went. We get to the cemetery and I have a wet butt! What is up with that? Somehow the bubbles fell down and I didn't know it. So I get up with a soaked but and pink liquid everywhere. A ton of it. UGH. So we got up late and I have a sudsy ass. Well how do you clean it when you have no paper towels on hand???? So I took some wipes even though I knew that was going to be a disaster and basically scooped the stuff out of the truck! So I get out a chair. Bill loves to plant. I don't. I go because it's for my family and I want to be there to supervise and keep Bill company:))) So I sit my sudsy ass down and Bill proceeds to walk with Ping down the lane over to the water well. In drives a truck. A familiar truck. It's my freaking cousin!!!!! Now I really don't talk to my family anymore from my dad's side. Once my grandpa died and my dad died, they changed into human beings that I want nothing to do with! Selfish is putting it mildly. Well there is Bill, Ping and my cousin talking. UGH. So she waves and says hi. Great, I have not showered, I have a sudsy ass and I am sitting on my wide butt doing NOTHING! Don't I look like the QUEEN OF SHIT!!!! Well Ping fell in love with her or so it looked. She wanted to help her take out all of her flowers. Mind you, not only am I not showered, but I didn't even comb Ping's hair for the first time. Not how I wanted her to meet the fam, you know? Looks like I don't take care of myself or my child!!!! Well she does some planting and Ping helps. I keep yelling for Ping to come back, but she just assumed it was okay to hang out there with the cousin!!!! Grrrrrr.
So after a short time, my cousin came down to plant at another grave. She said hello and I said hello and we chit chatted. It went well. Nothing much! We had to jump up and get going before we finished because we had a date for 2:30 and needed to shower!!!!!!
So we quickly showered and headed out for our 2:30 tea date with Sarah and Brad, our close friends!!!!! We had a fantastic time. For Mother's Day, I had wanted to do something. I love going for high tea. As does Sarah and Brad. So I asked them what their plans for Mother's Day was since they usually take out Sarah's mom, Dorothy! Well they had plans, so we decided since we had not seen each other in some time, that we would go to tea on another day!!!! The place was cute. It was a little stuffy because it was so nice outside, but the food was wonderful and the dining companions were superb! We brought Ping. I had a feeling she would do well and as far as any 3 year old can do, she did okay!!!!! She did tip over her lemonade, but that could happen to anybody!!!! I have a few pics we took in the parking lot and will include them soon!!! Sarah and Brad treated us and said "Happy Mother's Day." It was so incredibly sweet of them!!!! They are great people!
After tea we headed to a place with rattan and wicker furniture. I found a set I loved. We then headed home to do a few things, but it got dark and we had to quit the outside work.
Sunday we got up early and Bill planted at 2 more graves and I ran to CVS for him. We had a very busy day with mowing and planting and we also set up the screened tent. Bill had to run to muster practice at 4:30, so he and Ping left to go do that and I hung out and did some stuff here. I have had a terrible cold as has Ping. Needless to say, my energy level wasn't grand!!!!
Monday morning we got up very early! Bill at 6 and me at 7. We always have a parade up here for the Memorial Day Monday. The Fire Dept., and school band and VFW members, etc. all come up here and park on our lawn. They then walk over to the cemetery. There is a little 1/2 hour service. They decorate all the graves and salute the men and women to were in the service. They have been doing it for years. Hence the major work we had to do!!!!! After the service here, they walk uptown and the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, etc. join them as does some of our police, etc. So Ping and I headed up there to watch Baba walk. Let me back up a moment here though. I woke up, but Ping didn't want to. So I let her sleep a little longer. Then she started crying. Very odd for her. She wakes up happy! I found her at the top of the stairs on her belly. She wanted to be picked up. So I did. I brought her to the bed and she let me dress her. She didn't even want to help and that is very odd for her! I knew something besides her cold was going on. So I put her down on the floor gently and sure enough, she couldn't walk!!!!! Of course the worst flew through my mind!!!! She could walk a little, but was holding onto the wall. The day before she ran around for hours. So my thinking is she pulled a muscle or hurt her foot. I massaged her legs for a few and put her directly into her stroller. I told her that I would cart her tush around all day and not to worry. So we ran over to the cemetery a little wait. The minute they were allowed to break, Bill walked over to the grave as Bill always does. Everyone chooses a grave to stand and salute by, Bill has always come to my dad's where I have always stood! He was wondering were I was. Ping didn't even recognize him in his uniform with hat and glasses. The minute she did, she jumped into his arms. When the three guns went off, she cried. She was startled!!!!! Baba had to leave and get back in formation, she was so unhappy about that. I told him were were late due to Ping having walking issues, so I had her show him. Off he went. So we went uptown and saw him march again and then they always go to another cemetery and then the finish up at the town common were they decorate a few more memorials! Ping was not herself. Between the cold and the walking, she was sad and feeling icky. She managed to give our neighbors a few smile after we left the first cemetery though!!!!!
After the last cemetery, Bill came and got Ping and put her on his shoulders. She got to march with Baba for the last leg of the parade. She was happy about that!!!!! We then headed home to prepare for our friend Donna's house. Bill went out for a beer with the guys. This is standard practice! He came home shortly after. We made a new dip by Tastefully Simple, which I loved, so I will be ordering more up for myself!!!!! We then jumped in the car and headed to Donna and Brad's house!!!! By then, Ping was walking better. I am not sure if it was a pulled muscle, a charlie horse or a twisted ankle! She was a little stiff when she got out of the car, but she was doing better. That was after screaming for 15 minutes that she had to go to the bathroom. Like there is one on every freaking corner Ping! Give me a break:) So she soaked herself! One clean Pull Up coming up!
At Donna's we hung outside and chatted with Michael (their son) and Donna and Brad of course. We saw Nicole, my godchild for 12 seconds. She had things to do! Places to be! To be 14 again!!!!!! We did see her later at night though! We had burgers, dogs and chicken. It was nice to just celebrate the gorgeous weather. Man the wind was blowing though!!! Think we were all allergy ridden by the end of the day! Donna gave me the best card for my birthday and an adorable ceramic ladybug. I will be showing a picture of that too, it's so damn cute. I think I might put it on the porch. Not sure yet! We had a fantastic time hanging outside! We finally came home and I passed out on the couch around 10. Not good. I didn't sleep all night:( I should have gotten up and gone to bed as I usually do!!!!
All in all, it was a great weekend and now everyone INCLUDING ME is back to work full time!!!!! SAHM is full time you know!!!!! Bill is out tonight at the Fire Dept., so I have had Ping all day and it's 9pm now!!!!! That is full time, no? Little more than full time, no? Wanty a big raisy but Bill says it's not in the budget! Back to the lab for a little poison mixture!!!!!! Not in the budget? Let me sell some of your goods:)
Today was a great day. Hotter than hell! I took Ping over to Davis Farmland and met with Angela, Simon and Olivia. Angela and her husband adopted their two children from Columbia. Gorgeous kids!!!! Anyway, I enjoy talking with Angela and Ping enjoys the kids a lot. She has never been to Davis, so it blew her mind!!!!!! It's a wonderful place in the next town over. It cost $20 to get in and that was with Angela's discount! They have hayrides, goats, horses, Alpacas, babies to feed, etc. They also have a water park, which we didn't do. We didn't even go over there! We didn't bring bathing suits. Next time. There are a whole bunch of little houses that the kids play in, there is a gigantic sand pit with tons of tractors and there is a little watering area you can put little plastic boats in. It's just a great place to take your children. You don't go if you don't have kids. It's not allowed. Anyone with a child under 12 can get in, but without a kid, you can't! Well it poured in the afternoon, so we left there and Ping and I headed to Walmart and then came home. We have been home all night. Like I said, Bill is at the station, so I am home manning the PING! I had such a lot to post, I knew I needed the time to sit, so I have now gotten caught up. YAY!!!!!!
I will follow with pictures soon, I promise!!!!!

Pre-School, Crazy Coupes and Fish Sticks!!!
On Tuesday, Miss Ping was evaluated by our school system in town for Pre-School! She was accepted!!! Yay!!!!!! So starting at the end of August, this crazy kid is going to school from 8:15-11:05 Monday through Friday. I can't wait!!!! I think it's going to be great for her. She will learn the language even more and she will be around others her age. Hopefully she will learn a lot. We are lucky we got in. It's not easy getting into their program!!!!! So I will be Pingless a few hours a day. DAMN:) God I love her, but being able to make a call without her yelling at me to get her something will be fantastic!!!!!
Tonight Baba went out to mow the grass. Ping immediately went nuts cause he went out without her. Heaven forbid! So I let her go out. She took out her brand new Fire Dept. Cozy Coupe! She loves this thing. She gets in and goes the full length of the driveway. We have a long driveway. I was in the house and could hear her going back and forth. A short time after, I hear Bill yell Ping in a harsh tone. So I run outside. Ping was fine, but the Cozy Coupe had disappeared!!!!! Guess what this sweet child did? She got to the end of the driveway, got out of the car and pushed it down the street. For those of you who know the street, you are undoubtedly laughing. For those of you who don't, we live on a huge hill. So down the hill went the car. I have no idea where it landed. Bill got it and brought it up. It could have caused an accident had it gotten to the bottom and onto the main road. He was NOT happy!!!! So of course I said "Were you not watching her? How did this happen?" I was nice about it though because I know someday, he will ask me the same questions. Actually, when it comes to some debacles in the house, he does ask me! LOL. Well our neighbor Betty came over. Walking with her hands in her pocket. I said to Bill "oh shit, here comes the parent patrol!!!!" Clearly we are failing at parents of the year!!!! She didn't say much except that she heard Bill yell at Ping and she saw the Coupe going down the street. The bugs were wild, so I was kind of jumping all over the place!!!!! Well she left and we say our other neighbor. She is a sweetie. She is 78 years old and you would think she was 60. She was walking. So she came over, grabbed Ping's hand and said, "let's go for a walk with auntie." Off they went. We live in a small neighborhood. It resembles a V. At one end is the cemetary and at the other end it's a cul-de-sac. So it was a quick walk. I went back in. I was putting some stuff away and saw that they had come back with an additional neighbor! A 20 or so year old neighbor girl. She wanted to meet Ping desperately. So we stood there chatting, swatting bugs, and watching Ping with her Cozy Coupe!!!! The neighbor offered to babysit anytime we needed her too. Thought that was sweet. She is a nice girl!!!!! When they left, Ping followed them three times for hugs and kisses. They couldn't believe it. They think she is wonderful. We do too:)
So Ping and Bill came in due to the darkness and the bugs. He threw her straight in the tubbie. At this point, she had peed through her Pull Up and had a wet butt:( She obviously wasn't going to stop playing!!!!!! After bath time, Bill cooked her fish sticks. So there is my girl eating fish sticks at 10pm at night. Dinner #2! God, I feel like an awful parent having her eat at that hour. She begged for fish sticks. 10pm at night though? That is awful!!!!! Then she has a little strawberry shortcake too! So here she is, way past her bedtime and still up because we didn't want to put her to bed right after she ate!!!!!! We are going to parent hell:(
That long list of what you are not going to do when you are a parent is a complete freaking joke. Throw it out if you have made one. I found that the first rule is broken within 15 minutes!!!! I hope we improve.
I have to say that as I was sitting with Ping and we were both eating, I just stared at her! I asked Bill if he is ever amazed that she is home with us now. He said yes. What else is he going to say? I can say with 100% certainty that this child is the best thing in the world!!!! She is beautiful inside and out. She is outgoing and sweet and crazy. I would kill for her if I had to. She is so amazing. She is so bright. I know I have said it before, but I have to say it again, I love this child with every fiber of my being and she is a gift! She tortures me, but amazes me daily!!!!! If I was ever on a deserted island and I had to take one thing/person, she would be it. We would have so much fun collecting shells and splitting coconuts!!!!! She would make the time we were there go so quickly.
Sorry hon, I love you, but she talks more:)
I have a touch of a sore throat, so that is all for now!
Mama Out!!!!

This chick cracks me up!!!!!
Ping has gotten to know the language very well. She is understanding it better and better every day!! She is speaking better and better every day. HOWEVER, when I come downstairs and go into my office and find my brand new wrapped .42 cent stamps are missing and then ask Ping what happened, the lightbulb shuts down? Huh? What? Stamps? What yo talking about Mama? "PING WHERE ARE MAMA'S STAMPS????" I find one or 2 cut in half and stuck in odd places. I am beside myself. Not cheap!!!!! Again "PING, WHERE ARE THE STAMPS?" "Stamps mama?" Yeah, freaking stamps Ping. I get the stare. Hmmmm, you get milk, juice, food of any assortment, ladybug, car, truck, etc. down, but you can't understand stamp? Dudette, you were JUST PLAYING WITH THEM!!!!! So I point to where they are, motion to how they were rolled, show her the ones she tore, etc. Nothing, nada, ziltch. OH FOR THE LOVE OF PING!!!!!
Now let me back up here. This darling child greets me in my bedroom smelling delicious. Like mint chocolate chip. How is that possible? OHHHH, you found the hard candies, no? They were in a drawer. They came with something that was sent to me. She couldn't open the package before, so no worries. Well, she mastered the skill obviously. So she is chocolatey faced. I wash her face, I shower, we get dressed and head downstairs.
Okay, fast forward. I am still looking for the stamps. All of a sudden, she is pointing to the hard candies in the sandwich bag. She has taken some mints that were at her shower, put them in with the hard candies and mixed them. In addition, she has put all the stamps in there!!!!!!!! Unwrapped, and each stamp stuck to each piece of candy. I was beside myself. $42.00 of stamps. So as only a good mom would do, I took each candy gingerly out of the bag and peeled the stamp ever so carefully off of the package:)))) I then put it back on the strip the best I could:) Only lost one stamp. Tragedy averted. SCORE MAMA! What a pain in the arse though!!!!
Why can't she play with her toys? Why must she play with Mama's stuff? UGH. I know they are all the same!!!!! I am not surprised. Her toys are always immaculately put away in her basket, but Mama's stuff is always spread from here to eternity. UGH.
Waiting for her first post-placement appointment with our social worker, so I gotta run.

Mama Out!
Now let me back up here. This darling child greets me in my bedroom smelling delicious. Like mint chocolate chip. How is that possible? OHHHH, you found the hard candies, no? They were in a drawer. They came with something that was sent to me. She couldn't open the package before, so no worries. Well, she mastered the skill obviously. So she is chocolatey faced. I wash her face, I shower, we get dressed and head downstairs.
Okay, fast forward. I am still looking for the stamps. All of a sudden, she is pointing to the hard candies in the sandwich bag. She has taken some mints that were at her shower, put them in with the hard candies and mixed them. In addition, she has put all the stamps in there!!!!!!!! Unwrapped, and each stamp stuck to each piece of candy. I was beside myself. $42.00 of stamps. So as only a good mom would do, I took each candy gingerly out of the bag and peeled the stamp ever so carefully off of the package:)))) I then put it back on the strip the best I could:) Only lost one stamp. Tragedy averted. SCORE MAMA! What a pain in the arse though!!!!
Why can't she play with her toys? Why must she play with Mama's stuff? UGH. I know they are all the same!!!!! I am not surprised. Her toys are always immaculately put away in her basket, but Mama's stuff is always spread from here to eternity. UGH.
Waiting for her first post-placement appointment with our social worker, so I gotta run.
Thanks for your support everyone:)

Another thing I forgot!!!!!
Our friend Karen bought Ping a bathing suit. It is so darn cute. Ping wore it over her PJ's the other day. LOL. Karen also watched Ping for an hour, while I had a massage done at a local school. It was too short!!!! Anyway, Ping and Karen had fun as did Mama!
See, I totally forgot to mention this! UGH.
I need Mama juice.

I am frustrated!
Do you enjoy my blog? If so, raise your hand, send me an email, write me a note!!!!! If you don't, let me know. I am considering no longer writing it.
Here is the problem. I will not use names. I love all my friends. I have a great time when I am with them. They have all been good to me, Bill and Ping. I enjoy all the gifts they have given in the past. They have been there through thick and thin!
Supposedly, I am missing information on some of my posts. This one is upset that I am not saying we had a fabulous time with them, that one is upset their picture isn't posted, this one is upset that I am not saying what they have done for me, that one is upset that I am not saying they got us something.
I AM SORRY. I APOLOGIZE. When I blog, it is often after midnight when everyone is asleep. I have been a new mom for 2 months and 3 weeks. I lost my mom 6 months ago. My brain is a jumbled mess. It's upsetting, frustrating and embarrassing. If I have forgotten something or have not said something enough about you, I am truly sorry. I love my friends dearly and they are very, very important to me. I would never harm them or forget anything about them for any reason. I am trying to deal with no longer working full time, a crazy almost 3 year old that doesn't quite speak the language, a house that is a mess, errands up my butt, odd stomach issues and a computer that has been giving me a hard time.
So there you have it, I am admitting that I am not the best at juggling it all. If you have an issue with it, let me know and I will try to fix it or apologize for it. I am just getting really frustrated. The blog is for everyone, but mostly those who do not see us regularly! I feel like I am getting slammed regularly. I try to be detailed. I really do, but sometimes I just don't get it all in.
Anyhoo, I don't know if I should continue here! I know I have a few who love to follow Ping's antics and my ineptness at motherhood. What do you think???
Enough said!
Yesterday, Anita, Donna, Nicole, Ally and Michael came over. Anita worked on my computer all day. She is a gem!!!!! Thanks hon. I appreciate all of your help. So far both Anita and Joe (Meri's husband) have been hacking at this computer trying to get it to work. They have spent hours doing so and I am so freaking grateful!!!!!!!
Donna, Michael and I went to do an errand for Donna's husband. We then picked up subs , pizza and one salad! We came back to the house and all ate together. Ally and Nicole watched a movie, Donna took a nap and Ping hung with Baba outside. Anita tried to teach me how to move files. I sorta knew, but not the way she did it. She called me something. Forgot what it is. Basically she said I was a goof and an over clicker:) The day went way too quick. I love it when my friends come over. I wish all my friends lived closer. We have some friends that live close, which is awesome, but the rest are an hour away. LOSERS FOR NOT MOVING CLOSER:)
We were supposed to take photos yesterday, but never did:( DAMN!
