10 Confessions for Thursday
1. I am really, REALLY sick of breastfeeding, but I can’t bear the heartbroken look on The Son’s face when I say NO.
2. Not only are my Christmas decorations still up, but there is still a box from Christmas morning sitting on the fireplace hearth.
3. Last weekend when I had the stomach bug….I wonder how much was psychosomatic because I wanted to stay in bed and read Twilight. I felt better half an hour after I was finished reading.
4. I have no idea how to spell psychosomatic, and it took spell check four tries to know what I was trying to spell.
5. This pile of laundry is clean but still not completely put away.
6. I held five different babies tonight at LLL, and they were so sweet that I really wanted another one, like for keeps. Then I came home and saw my living room and changed my mind.
7. Even though Shoeshe has proved how stupid they are, I still kinda want a Snuggie.
8. I am afraid my house smells like pee because we have puppy pads in two separate places, the good news is that Ellie is using them.
9. I have at least ten emails that need to be replied to which I am avoiding because I am unsure what to say. And, I always have something to say.
10. My birthday is in a week and I feel a little old, in fact I spent sometime in front of the mirror today looking for wrinkles.

The Husband is fine! Really! He is talking to me! —but he was in a car wreck this morning, so we are off on a whirlwind of doctor’s visits and insurance calls so that is why we are out of touch. The little old lady in her plastic rain hat that could barely see over the steering wheel? She is okay too. Little work car we just spent 2 grand fixing? Not so much. The Husband just told me that all that was wrong with her truck was that her turn signal did not work. Maybe we need to get a work truck instead.

Update 7pm:
He has a separated shoulder and gets to take muscle relaxers, hydrocodone, some muscle gel thing, wear a sling, and just generally be cranky. I am sorry he is hurt….but I mostly feel blessed because a thousand different variables and he would be, at the least, in the hospital right now.
He was embarrassed that I brought the camera to the x-ray room, but this is prime blog material.
Ouch!
I told him to stand by his car and look pathetic.
You asked for it!
See over there on the right hand side where it says Read it or Rant? That, my darlings, is the online book club you requested. If you have read any of the Twilight series, or want to read them and do not care about spoilers, you should just head right on over there and let me know what you think. The comments on that page will be open for quite awhile, so go start reading if you need to.
Filed under Read it or Rant | Comments OffThe Magic 2008 Ball, pee on everything, and the worst segue ever.
TheHuckablog was one year old yesterday. I did not start telling people about it until around the end of February, but have been writing it for a year now. I keep a file filled with ideas for posts on my laptop. It seems to be a black hole because I never seem to write anything from those ideas; maybe I should change the title of the folder to something I might open on a regular basis, like “How to take a shower when you have a two year old boy who insists on trying to injure himself or others when left unsupervised for more than 20 seconds,” or something similar. Anyway, in the folder which is now titled, “Ideas for Huckablog” there is a partially written post called, “The Magic 2008 Ball”. I was going to come up with some questions for what was going to happen in 2008 and use an Eight Ball to predict the future. It was going to be cute, and easy, and fun to follow up whether the ball had any right answers. I never did it. I got busy, I needed to write about other things, I never found the pictures I wanted to go along with the post, and then it just seemed weird to write about 2008 predictions in August.
I deleted the post from the folder today. Just in case you were wondering, none of the predictions were right (Hillary Clinton is not the president elect for example.)
I am sorry I have not bothered to write a real post in weeks. I have had a nice vacation and have been spending time traveling and with family and friends I rarely get to see, and while I am sad to see how low my hits dropped this month, I think I needed a little blog break.
I got to see CAT long enough to hug her and talk about The Office, I had a cheese pizza with Ang long enough for The Son to insure she may choose to never have children, and Shoeshe came to stay for a few days. While Shoeshe was here we took my teenage cousin and The Son to the best, cheesiest amusement park on earth where The Son rode a roller coaster which my BiL will not even ride, and I got nauseous on the teacups we had to ride twice (pictures to follow). She also stymied my panic attack in a laundromat at two AM as we washed bathmats and kitchen rugs that my OMFG why will you not just pee outside you whacked out little mutt new dog seems to have confused as her own personal lavatory. Shoeshe never even complained. Not even when I told her she could wash her feather pillow. Ooops.
We got to see all of our grandparents, some for longer than others, The Husband’s cousin from Texas whom we love and who I envy because she can wear boots without looking ridiculous, another cousin with a baby almost as cute as mine. We saw Gabs, my cousin who lives with my Ma (my grandma, her Great-Grandma), who is ENGAGED, which makes me feel really old because I was old enough to be holding her when her umbilical stump fell off (I screamed and handed her back to her mother.) We spent another great weekend at the elder (but not old) Huckablog’s Scenic Compound where I laid in the hammock even though it was 40 degrees outside. I am glad I did it then, because I may never be invited back because my OMFG why will you not just pee outside you whacked out little mutt new dog chose to pee on MMiL’s feather bed. All in all it has been a bad season for feather linens.
So that, in a nutshell, is what we have been up to around here, plus you know, like parenting and stuff. New Years resolution! Not to say like and stuff so much! Hey, how about some New Years’ resolutions? (did you like my segue?)
Here are my 2009 resolutions for TheHuckablog.
1. Add a pictures page. I have tons of pictures I would like to share, but cannot always come up with time to write about them. To relieve the stress, and make relatives happy, I will just post directly to a separate page and people who want to look at twelve pictures of The Son eating spaghettios can, while other’s can ignore them.
2. Add a book club page which other people write. Some of you miss the Read it or Rants, others want to start a book club, I want to read what other people think about books other than Thomas, the Tank Engine. First book for the book club is really a series. Twilight. I know, I know, that is so 2008. CAT told me not to waste my time, MMiL thought it was okay, others think it is the BEST.BOOK.EVAH!
3. Finally get around to doing what it takes to have ads. By someone other than an EVIL CORPORATION THAT I AM PRETTY SURE SLAUGHTERS KITTENS AND PROBABLY HATES THE SIMPSONS.
4. Do the leg work to have some cool give aways. Did you know lots of blogs get cool free stuff to give away? I want to do that!
5. Write a post at least every other day…unless I need a vacation…or want to read instead…or have time for a toddler free shower.
Happy 2009 everyone.
