Looking Toward 2009

This has been a hell of a year around here and I am personally ready for it to be over already. I don't even know where to start!

My youngest daughter and I are constantly at each other's throats lately. She's 15 and has the worst boyfriend in the whole world. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion and not being able to do anything about it. She is crazy about this idiot and I CAN NOT stand him. He is very disrespectful, arrogant and a liar. She thinks the sun rises and sets out of this idiots ass. Unfortunately, she is just as stubborn and hardheaded as me so you can't tell her anything. LOL I know that most of it is her age but I CAN NOT WAIT to get past this stage of her life. This crap is gonna drive me to drink!

My oldest daughter and her husband are expecting a baby boy in 2 months. It's his first child and he is driving me nuts! Every single twitch she has, he's calling and going crazy. She is having a normal pregnancy, so far, but he is worried about EVERYTHING! I'm trying to be patient with him but he's getting her twitchy and that's making ME twitchy. I don't know what the hell he's gonna do when she goes into labor!

My grandson's are growing like weeds and are the light of my life. Their dumbass father, on the other hand, can't pay two months of child support without bouncing a freaken check. Now get this! He's engaged to a woman with 2 teenage sons! He is taking her sons on hunting trips and buying them expensive things and bouncing the checks to his own sons. I don't care that he's engaged. I DO care that he went and bought her a diamond ring and his child support bounced all over the place for TWO freaken weeks! CHILDREN CAN NOT EAT DIAMOND RINGS ASSHOLE!
Thank all that's good for their step-dad. He makes sure that they are taken care of and loves them as if they were his own.

I'm not saying that a new year will make any of this any better but it will make me feel as if it will get better.
I need a good stiff drink and a vacation!

What Next?

I thought I had a head cold, then a chest cold, then the flu........ I had pnemonia. I never get sick so this freaked me out. It knocked me on my backside. I'm doing better but am still very weak.
The kids decorated the house and yard for me. Saturday I started my x-mas shopping. Yep, STARTED! I didn't get very much done before I was worn out and had to come home.
I am knitting socks, scarves and neck warmers, slowly.

My daughter went for the ultra sound that tells you if it's a cheeseburger or hotdog. We have another HOTDOG! He will be named Jaden.

My youngest daughter got her learners permit Saturday. Now she doesn't want to drive. Go figure!
