Taking a break from the madness which is my life, LOL! I will leave you with a simple recipe that I have been using for over 10 years. People seem to really love these things, I always make them for the holidays.
Super Easy Sausage Balls
Ingredients:
1 roll of sausage (sage flavored)
1 pack of shredded sharp cheddar cheese (2 cups)
1 box Stove Top stuffing, or the off brand (herb or sage flavored or even chicken, lol)
Directions:
Mix all the stuff together by hand, roll into balls, put on cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.
EAT EM UP, YUM!
P.S. We are moving soon. I started looking for places the last few days (mostly dumps so far). I am giving the Boxer away on Sunday. There is no way we can find a rental property that will accept a 60+ pound dog. It will break my heart, but it is for the best, and I found her an excellent home with a true "dog lover" that will spoil the dog more than I ever would have:)
We are thinking about sharing a big house with my Mom and Dad (they already live across the street anyway) that way we can split the bills and all save money. Also they help a lot with the kids (when they aren't turning them into devils). My only requirement though is I have my own space like in a finished basement or upstairs (with my own bathroom, well, for my own family, not just me). With us splitting the bills we can actually afford something way better than I could get on my own anyway, so I am kind of excited about the possiblities (and saving money!!), and kind of dreading sharing at the very least a kitchen/laundry area with my Dad!!! He is a NEAT FREAK. He will wash clothes as soon as they take them off (the same night) and he has to have dishes washed as you use them. YIKES!

Evicted and being stalked by the landlord!
I am in a funk, we got evicted from our house. We finally got current on our rent, now this?? The reason? Your guess is as good as mine, but I can tell you what has transpired in the last week......
Last WINTER, our roof started leaking, therefore it caused a "bubble" in the ceiling. Eventually there came a BIG GAPING HOLE! Our landlady had the roof leak fixed, but never addressed the hole at the time. She did call my cousin (he is a drywall finisher/contractor) and he gave her 2 estimates for his labor charges, $100 to patch the hole, $300+ to redo the ceiling. She told him to just patch it, but she never called him back to do it. So we went all winter with "the hole" and cold air pouring out. (we just moved the babies to another room, because the hole was right over their cribs, if they were in bed when it fell it would have hit them, closed that door to their now play room and put a towel against the door). Believe me, it sucked!
Fast forward to last week. It was almost 100 degrees outside for weeks and hot air was POURING into that room, my a/c ran nonstop for days and the whole house was sweltering (and it was at least 30 degrees hotter in there). After trying to patch it ourselves with duct tape and cardboard we had to cave in and ask her to fix it, AGAIN (the tape/cardboard kept melting and falling down). When we called her she told us to tell him to go ahead and fix it. So we did. Then she called him herself and told him to call her when he was done and she would come look at it and pay him. Done.
He made 3 trips to fix it, put on a 2nd and 3rd coat of "mud" and on the last day we called her. She asked what he did, (um he patched it) then she asked how much (um $100. just like he told you months ago, and we told you before he started). Then she went ape-shit (on the bf who called her, who is soft-spoken and would never argue with a woman)! She basically cussed him out, said that people must think she is a "damn fool, a patch job isn't worth that kind of money" (um, now you way it?) and she went on and on with her choice words. Then she said she was going call my cousin and discuss it with him (ok, that is who you should be talking to anyway). So she calls him and goes through it with him, he tells he that she AGREED to it before he did it. She again tells him she will pay him after she looks at it.
The next day she comes to look at it. She goes off again, and she was going off on what a horrible job it was (but she was complaining before she even saw it, so I don't think anything would have suited her). That was her mistake, because I was face to face with her, and I will not tolerate abuse from anyone (w/o getting my 2 cents in, LOL). I try to explain to her that she worked this out with him months ago, and he did what she told him too. I also said that we HAD to have it fixed because the hot air was pouring in (she called me a LIAR). She said that heat rises and there was no way hot air was coming in. WTF? If there is a big gaping hole in the ceiling air isn't going to come in?? I felt the air, my bf did, my Dad did, my cousin did, we ALL did. Ok, anyway, after that I was PISSED. How dare she say that. So then I said that I could make a list of everything wrong with the place if she wanted me to, because we have NEVER had her fix anything before, but this time we HAD to. She said "you do that!" Then asked me if I was going to pay him for his work. I said no YOU are. Blah, Blah, Blah, we went round and round. Then she kept calling my cousin by his last name saying, "Well I am going to go pay Mr. LastName, he'll get his money don't you worry, Mr. Last name will get paid" over and over. Then she told her husband to, "come on let's go, I'm ready to get out of here, I said let's go!"
The next morning the bf answers the door. It was her. She asked him if we had made our list yet (the one listing everything wrong with the place), he told her not yet. Then she hands him an envelope and says, "well here is one for you." It was an eviction notice. She is evicting us because we asked her to fix a hole so our electric bill wouldn't be sky high. She doesn't remember when the bf did work for her FOR FREE, cleaned out gutters, hung screen doors, moved stuff for her, etc.. She wants the tenant to pay for work done to her house!!!
She never paid the cousin either. So he calls her. Then she cusses him out too, but tells him if he wants $ to come right now. So him and the bf go to her house (bf had to show him where she lived). Then when they get there she proceeds to cuss them both. Tells cousin that he is ROBBING her, etc. Tells the bf, "you better keep your ass in the car, you were there and LET him do it." Then she started calling me a LIAR again saying there is NO WAY hot air was blowing in. (I felt sorry for bf, he didn't say a word to her, he would never disrespect his elders, or a woman.... I wish he would have!). She even wrote on the check she gave him, "Unsatisfactory job, unprofessional, not worth the $." and said she was calling the BBB tomorrow to report him (for a job she agreed to pay him on and agreed with the price???).
Later that same night, she comes over here. Drives to the end of the road, turns around, parks her car facing our house and turns her headlights off! She sat there for an hour. I have no idea what she was doing. My cousin came over. Then my Dad walked down from his house across the street. She finally left... Driving real slow, just staring at all of us. Dad thought she was going to try to do something to us (she really seemed that crazy)!! I have never seen anything like this, or heard of it either for that matter. She has lost her damn mind. Now we have to move. Mom and Dad have to move too because they rent from her too (she didn't evict them, but how can they stay after all she has done to us?).
P.S. Dad had her look at his a/c the other day because it wasn't working. The man came to fix it, charged her $95. she was MAD at him, saying he was her friend and shouldn't charge her that much. What does she expect a professional to charge? She can't get stuff for free!
Doesn't a landlord have to have just cause to evict us? I mean like us owing her money (which we don't, because we caught it up when Satan paid part of his rearages), or destruction of property, or being loud, or anything besides us trying to fix this place!!!!!!
Oh well, we are looking for a new place. Hopefully we will find one soon before she kills us!! SLUM LORD!

Somewhere over the rainbow............
I have a dog, well actually 2 dogs, but let's talk about Dixie, the Boxer dog. She is 16 months old (basically a toddler). Here is a picture of her silly face when she was a wee baby girl.....
Now let's talk about how this dog aggrevates the crap out of me.... She is a big almost 80 pound beast that jumps on the babies and everyone else for that matter, chews the outside cable cords into pieces, can jump over the back of the couch (clears it) when I am trying to catch her, and she is SO HYPER!!!
Let's take a look at her now......
I had made up my mind to give her away... I had a family picked out and was on my way to take her to her new home. I had her in the truck already. There was a knot in my stomach and I knew I would miss her, but it would be ok. But then this happened..........
That's right, I busted the back window out of my truck, while I was on my way to take the dog to her new home. Wanna know how it happened? Said dog's "trolley" cable, wrapped around the piece of my truck that holds the window in and jerked the whole window out, shattering it into a million pieces in the process. So I took that as a SIGN that the dog needed to just stay with us for now. Weird I KNOW (how ironic though-the dog's cable broke my window when I was on my way to get rid of the DOG). Now if these 2 things don't stress a girl out enough... Take a look at this.....
My baby boy burned the F*CK out of his arm! I thought I would cry with him, I knew it hurt THAT bad! While I was in the bathroom, and BF had stepped 5 feet into the living room to get said DOG off of baby girl (dog was jumping on her knocking her down, she was screaming). Mr Bubby grabbed a piping hot skillet out of the sink (BF had just fried hamburgers) and the grease ran down his arm, scalding his skin, he dropped the pan immediately but the damage was already done. He started screaming, "The blood curdling, something is majorly wrong here scream," you know the one that makes your heart stop and fall out in the floor. I KNEW by that scream that he was hurt, and hurt bad. I ran in there, he started screaming, "Help it Mommie, Help it, it burns, it hurts, put a bandaid on it, help it, it burns!" The first thing I did is put butter on it (I know now that was probably not the best idea, but at that point I wanted to help him), then I took him to the sink ran cold water over it, put aloe on it, then sprayed it with Lanocaine (burn spray). He is FINE now, if it wasn't for the red mark on his arm, you would never know it happened. When these pics were taken he said it didn't hurt anymore and he went to bed just fine. Maybe one day, Somewhere over the rainbow..... 
Things will get easier..... MAYBE?

Have you ever been to a murder trial?
I have... My Ex's niece was killed in the county park... She was 18 and had her whole life ahead of her.... She went to the park to meet up with her on again, off again boyfriend.... She wanted to show him pictures of the baby she was carrying, his baby.... She was 5 months pregnant. And as she sat there with her legged crossed and the pictures scattered across her lap and the motor of her car still humming, when her father and brother found her DEAD! Turns out they got worried when she hadn't come home when she was supposed to, and she wouldn't answer her cell phone which was unusual for her. She had told her Mom her plans, which led them directly to her..... Isn't that a lucky, yet weird coincidence?
HER BOYFRIEND KILLED HER.....AND HIS OWN BABY THAT WAS LIVING INSIDE OF HER.
Turns out her and her boyfriend were in some kind of "love triangle." He was dating her and another girl, and the other girl was jealous, especially now knowing that she was pregnant with his baby. In my mind, I picture the new girlfriend guilting the boyfriend into knocking off the "baby mama" in some sort of "prove that you love me" type of move......
The story posed in the trial was this.... The bf, his new gf, and her brother drove to the park in the brothers truck (I guess it was less recognizable).... The bf got out around the corner and casually walked up to the window and put 5 bullets in his "baby mama," I am thinking it was in her neck and abdomen.... It is pretty easy for me to believe it was him because of the girl's relaxed posture... they way she was so casually sitting with her legs crossed and her window down, pictures in her lap.... Anyone that had been alarmed by an enemy or a stranger would have had a defensive reaction and jumped up straight...... Also, there were videos of this guy all over town.... He made it a point to go everywhere in town that he knew had a camera!! First he stopped at an ATM (stupid move buddy, since you had already gone to this same ATM earlier to get money out, why would you need more?), then he was seen at Wal-Mart, and I swear he was MUGGING at the camera. In the video you can see him actually turn his face and body and point himself directly in plain view of the camera's angle (turns out he had a friend that worked their that knew exactly where he should stand). There were witnesses that saw him running out of the park... and witnesses that had seen the vehicle waiting on him.
He got convicted for murder, and the girl's parents fought for a new law that made it possible to try a person for a DOUBLE murder if the woman is pregnant at the time, so they will be held accountable for the death of a baby. His GF also got convicted for being an accomplice (she now says she wishes she never met him.....well hello, you went with him to do it, it is your own fault!!! STUPID). And finally his GF's brother was also charged since he had provided the murder weapon (gun).
A few years ago, his conviction was overturned because a witness (another prisoner he had confessed to) was deemed unreliable, or persuaded to testify against him.... this guy said that the BF told him he was kinda sorry he had to kill his own baby, but it just happened that way......
He was convicted again, lucky for him, I think the girl's father may have killed him, if ever he had run into him on the street, seriously.
It is horrible to sit through a trial like that.... They show pictures of the victim after they have been brutally murdered, it is hard to see..... she had burns on her legs where the heater was running in her car all those hours, and then there was pictures of the tinest baby you would ever see (fully developed, but way to young to survive, he (the baby) must have slowly died as his mother did (no bullets hit him)..... There is so much anguish from the family, I could hear them GASP and MOAN when a picture would flash on the screen, it was just HORRIBLE.... That was there baby, no matter how old she was, they probably still saw her as their baby (she was the youngest too). Gosh, I can't even imagine how I would feel if something ever happened to one of my kids, I may throw myself in the hole with them.....
My Ex had to testify, although I missed it, I bet he looked like a big dumb ass anyway (he was good at that)!

Friday Food in your Face.....
Ok, since I am extremely HUNGRY, and I can't decide what I want to eat, I thought I would share a recipe.... It is a time old tradition in my family and my Dad begs me to make him this on his birthday and at least one other time during the year......
PEANUT BUTTER CAKE
Ingredients:
3c Jiffy Mix (blue and white box)
1c milk (you may need a little more, it is hard to judge)
1.5c sugar
2 sticks butter
3 eggs
1t. vanilla
1 jar of creamy peanut butter
1 can of Chocolate Fudge Icing
Preheat Oven to 350, grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan
Mix together all ingredients (EXCEPT milk and peanut butter). Alternate adding milk and peanut butter (it gets hard to stir if you add all the pb at once, LOL). I use a hand mixer to make it real smoothe.
Pour mix into your prepared pan...
Cook at 350 for up to 1 hour (this cake is very tricky, so make sure you check it to see if it is really done).
Let Cool, cover it with CHOCOLATE FUDGE ICING!!!
Enjoy!
P.S. We joke about this being a 5 pound cake.... It is heavy.

Just me and my babies......
Today after my morning class I took the little people to the creek.
It was no more than ankle deep (maybe knee deep to them in spots).
We walked around, and chatted with another mother who was there with 6 or 7 kids with her (all under 4). They weren't all hers though, I guess she is a glutton for punishment and "wanted" to spend the day with a bunch of toddlers, ROFL.... (funny thing, I didn't hear a CRY from any of those kids, and when she told them to do something, you know what? they did it!)
Some days I wish I could be more like that mother and actually love doing things with my kids all the time..... but I am who I am..... I can work on it, but this is just me...... and we have our "moments," even if hey are sparse......
Anycreek..... While we were there, my little Miss Priss LOVED it. She splashed around, asked 1000 questions, sat down in the water, wanted to play with the other little kids, etc.
Mr. Bubby HATED it. He whined that he wanted to go back to the car, he didn't like the "watah," and because he heard a clap of thunder, he then said, "I don't rike the stormin." I swear he wimpered and moaned and tugged on me..... But I just kept going, trying to encourage him to come out of his little bubble and do something new, and actually like it. He finally lightened up when the other mother came up to us and showed him how to throw rocks (who'd have ever thought? not me that is for sure, I am too uptight). He took up with her and her kids (even SHARED rocks with another child and LIKED it) and didn't complain anymore.
After about an hour it did start lightening/raining and we had to go..........The rain suddenly started pouring before we could get back to the car......My kids, instead of running to the car, wanted to stop and cry about it raining, ROFLMAO (it was kind of cute though). We finally made it and they dove head first into the back seat........ It was so cute looking back at their little animated faces as they soaked in the rain, and the "adventure" we just had. PRICELESS! At that point I wished I had pics but couldn't take any because I had 2 little hands to hold. The.whole.time.
The drive home was uneventful and Miss Priss fell asleep for like 2 minutes (only to wake straight up when we pulled in the driveway, lol)...... But they must have enjoyed the fresh air because they went to bed tonight very easy... no whining or crying or begging to stay up longer, they just layed down (after hugs and kisses) and went off to sleep.
AHHHHHH, LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!

We finally made it and they dove head first into the back seat........ It was so cute looking back at their little animated faces as they soaked in the rain, and the "adventure" we just had. PRICELESS! At that point I wished I had pics but couldn't take any because I had 2 little hands to hold. The.whole.time.
The drive home was uneventful and Miss Priss fell asleep for like 2 minutes (only to wake straight up when we pulled in the driveway, lol)...... But they must have enjoyed the fresh air because they went to bed tonight very easy... no whining or crying or begging to stay up longer, they just layed down (after hugs and kisses) and went off to sleep.
AHHHHHH, LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!

The ink is not even dry
My Ex husband is MARRIED. Yep, I said it, MARRIED. As of today it has been 1 month since our divorce was final..... and he has been married for at least a week that I know of...... I am guessing a lot longer....... I wouldn't put it past him to have done it before our divorce was even final......
I found out by accident last Sunday (a week ago) while dropping the kids off. He was giving me an insurance card to put in my vehicle (that was still in his name at the time), and it said Satan and Whore Underworld on the card. When I lost my sh*t and asked him WHY it said that..... He got a wicked grin on his face...... Then he started back-peddling and denying it. He said that the insurance company made a mistake, and for me to "go ahead and call them" and they would tell me. Only he knew damn good and well that I would never call anyone. And he just could NOT tell me the truth. I asked him at one point, "Satan, why do you have to lie? Just tell me the truth for once in your life." Again I was met with denial, and the other tactics he uses when he is backed in a corner..... He changed the subject. Then he harped on his chosen subject for 30 minutes. I finally just drove away. I got so tired of listening to his incoherent ramblings and LIES.
I can not say that I wasn't, and I am still, not hurt.... It burns like a M*ther F*cker! I have cried a little too..... and I can't understand WTF is wrong with me.... why I would care so little about myself that I let what this creep do to me be acceptable?? And how I still don't hate his guts, and it still hurts!
Anyway, on another note, I went to get my vehicle out of his name Friday.... The lady doing the transfer is married to a "buddy" of his (a new buddy that is, one I never met), and she has been to dinner with Satan and the Whore (comfortable situation for me, eh?). She basically did the whole transfer illegally, but I thank God that she did, or my SUV would probably be repossessed with everything else he owns. But that is what people do for him, they give him everything he wants, when he wants it. You wouldn't believe the show he was putting on for the 3 ladies working in there, it was sickening! And because he was jacked up on pills, he didn't realize how stupid or ridiculous he sounded.... but I made sure to point it out to him (several times).... and I told him that HATE wasn't a strong enough word for the way I feel towards him...... after I overheard him ask the lady if they needed a passport to go to JAMAICA!!! and the boy/driver (also on something which made him sound equally like a druggie) that was with him was talking about the new horse he just bought!! I made sure to announce in front of everyone within earshot that he was almost 3 months and $3100 behind on his child support but he could afford to go to Jamaica and buy a horse...
His reply, "Well, I was going to pay you before we went to Jamaica, and I am making payments on the horse."
FUCKING LOSER!
