At any point, any of these posts could be my last.

What a couple of weeks I tell ya! The title to this post could very well be true.

Lots of stressful family situations. That's always concern number one.

Then there are the other aggravating things that seem to happen daily. Or at least every other daily. Just enough to where you catch yourself saying "Why can't I get a break?!" Then you realize that the "break" you were hoping for was that day or two in between mishaps.

My car has had to go into the shop twice for burnt up spark plug coils or some mechanical shit like that. That was a fricking delicious chunk of change. And by chunk I mean about the size of the local waste water treatment facility.

The Hubs-a-licious' truck needs 4 new tires. Like yesterday. Four...as in for every single wheel thingy that they stick on. Why not make it 5 and let the full size spare feel like part of the fun? Go big or go home right? And I suppose we won't bring up the fact that my back 2 tires (you know the ones that actually do all the work on my car for the most part, which equals SIX tires altogether!) are about as bald as my whoo-whoo. Okay....that was a complete exaggeration. Because if that were true then I would have tread that would absorb the Atlantic at this point. TMI? How do you think I feel?!


My family is not used to all of this heating the house stuff every day and night. The skin on my face at this moment feels like it needs to be soaked in a mayonnaise bath. Poor little Nico's lips are shriveled into tiny little pucker lines.

I really thought I was down for this whole different season and weather thing. But this rain has quickly made me long for home. Cabin fever is such an understatement. I have 10 lights in my bathroom...the other day I tried to lay under them with sunglasses on, chanting "there's no place like home..." I. need. sun. BTW..it snowed last week. I thought that word was Latin, for disaster.



(With all due respect to anyone who doesn't swear...but who the fuck thought this was okay to do? Those footprints...that's my freezing ass in flip flops. I almost didn't recover. Thank gawd for Schnapps and hot chocolate because I thought this was the Apocalypse.)

Last night The other week (that's how long it's been since I started this post), my back filling broke off. Awesome. I was really hoping to keep all repairs needed focused on the cars. But alas, it appears that my warranty has also expired. Now to pick a dentist in a city where I have not one clue about where to start.


My most comfortable pair of pants now has a hole in the crotch. Now what ever will I wear for 3 days straight? But just when I thought it wasn't possible to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I stumbled across
this blog and I felt some hope. I really tried to just post the video...but I'm blog-tarded at this point from so many weeks of being absent. But I swear to all of you... I couldn't be more worth the effort to check it out.



That's just a mild summary of what's going on. It's possible, that if I think anyone is still left here on my planet, I may return. OH!!!! Andddddddddddd....I've been wanting to tell you...don't forget that April Fool's Day is just around the corner. That is all. I'm. saying.


P.S. Nothing but my love for my girl, Complicated Mama, who made an attempt to slyly, and politely, ask me wtf is up with my absence!

  4. why is it that all the tires always need to be replaced at the same time. We nee 4 new ones too, we only have 1 car at the moment or we'd probably need more too. Hang in there.

  7. Aren't you in Texas now? Living in Michigan I've never really thought of Texas as a 4 season type of place.

    Anywho, this post really hit home. I swear every time I pull myself up by my bootstraps lately life has been right there to kick my ass back down to the ground again!

  8. You remind me of me when I moved the IL. It was horrible and I wanted to go home and all anyone had to say was, "Oh, we havent had this much snow in a long time. It's unusual for us to have this much snow in December."
    It gets better. Hang in there!!

    I was cracking up at the tanning under your bathroom lights bit--- haha... its a tough transition to make-- but winter is almost over! That's a good thing!

    We all have moments like these were it ALL seems to be going wrong...and yes, its always in retrospect that we're able to see those 2 days we had to get it all together lol... but it will better.

  11. Oh dear lord...hole in the pants...bald as your whooha...sunning in your bathroom. I love how you come swinging back in.

    I was a little absent myself. Too many things to do, with not enough time to do it. (And money, grrrr.)

    Most excellent post my pal!
