The Hussmiester and myself have matching cameras...it's sick, I know....and so far with just playing around with the cam I have gotten these! Click for the full view...
Pay no attention to the dirty floors and the rugs in need of a good washing...just don't look at 'em damnit!! But DO look at my pretty range behind BT! LOL 
Oh, and look at BT, too!
We didn't get snow, just some freezing rain and sleet, it's all melted but the roads will be a joy in the morning. But hey, I don't work so I don't give a damn! DH does work though, hope gets there OK, that would suck if he didn't.
My poor cat has a big read mark on her shoulder and I keep thinking it's blood.....it's lipstick. I don't know how to get that out of her fur and she bites like a big raving bitch so I'll be damned if I'M going to try to put liquid on her...her coat can shed it out.
LT finally took a bath and the constant, full-bodied blush is finally gone. I didn't get pictures because I don't have any film and no digicam, GAWD DAMN NO DIGICAM, DAMNIT ALL TO HELLLLLLL! That would have been a cute picture, he was sort of funny to look at but then when you looked at my comforter and my sheets, he stopped looking so funny.
I don't have anything to write about anymore....I mean I could tell you about sis' repelling adventures off of her neighbor's side yard with a blower strapped to her back, but really it wouldn't be that funny to you all...although I'm seriously chuckling about it now as I type this. I guess that I'll have to have my kids do something cool.....like say funny things.
BT is a thinker, meaning he likes math, A LOT...science, well ya know some of it is interesting to him but mainly he's all about the math. He's almost 5, on Tuesday...he'll be FIVE, omg...*pausing for reflection* Reflection over. He can add double digits pretty well, and subtraction is pretty easy, and he loves every minute of it. So I decide that today we'll make a collage with pictures of things that all start with the same letter. I figure, it's artsy and he enjoys working with letters almost as much as numbers. I asked BT for his favorite letter (C) and he began going through a catalog of mine cutting out 'C' things...we have a TON of cut out cat pictures. So then I tell him he can glue them to a stiff piece of paper any way he wants. As I'm showing him how to glue with a glue stick he says...
"Mama, let's count all of our pictures! one..two..three.." All that I can think (being the art major that I am) is,
"NO, SON, NO!! You're thinking with the wrong side of your brain, this is ART, MAN!! ART!!!!!" He then says,
"Wow we have nineteen pictures, cool!" Of course I tell him that's cool now let's glue....
BT's collage
Thankfully LT likes tools and working with his hands, maybe he'll be my design assistant? A mother can dream can't she?
It is LT sneaking awake and finding my favorite lipstick (I don't wear make-up and I still LOVED that lipstick) and proceeding to 'color' the floor, fireplace, walls, bathroom cabinets & floors, his face, his PJs (fleece), the window sill, bedroom door, the cat (Alice, the white one) and my $400 brocade comforter and sheets......(I didn't pay $400 for them, I paid $100 but damnit I was proud of that comforter set!).
That is what is 3.5 feet tall, fleece-y, wet (morning diaper), and covered in 'Healthy' (the color name of the lipstick).
But the pond guess was a pretty good one!! LOL 
My feet are cold and it might snow....there that is today's entry.
Oh, and almost all of my stock is sold SWEET MOTHER OF EVERYTHING HOLY!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, if I can just get rid of all this shit I'll be so stinkin' happy!!!! You see what my life has become? A myriad of ups and downs over the gawd damn price of fabric...yes, this is me.
Well, we have heat but the dumbass put the compacitor on backwards so the fan runs constantly...I should charge his sorry ass for all that fucking electricity he's causing me to use..sorry bastard.
He also took us for a huge amount of money that I wasn't EVEN expecting to spend, then he played the stupid fucking games of "well we didn't REALLY say that" So I just told him, "Ok fine whatever, screw me over, fuck it!" So he screwed me over and all was well....rat bastards. Ok, in his defense he didn't fuck me as hard as he could have.....though he came awfully close to me gouging his eyes out with that socket wrench of his...
The GOB sale is doing fairly well, not as well as I'd like but, eh at least I have boxes of fabric leaving my house! My store was mainly for mamas who sew cloth diapers so that's why I didn't put the link up, probably not a whole lot that the average schmoe would really want...unless you need velcro, or rather something BETTER than velcro (aplix) but I digress...you sure you don't need some V E L C R O?!
So sis and I went exploring Monday to find out where all the cool stores are near her. We found quite a few, so that was good! Her place is AWESOME, thanks to me! I helped her decorate and so far so good...Maybe I do have a thing for decorating after all?! LOL
Take Care all I need to go to bed and all that jazz, I update late (or early depending on how you look at it 
)
Anyone need fabric? I'm selling TONS of it! I had an online fabric store but it is now going out of business, I just can't do it all...my superturtlemama cape is being retired...from now on I'll just be 'Turtlemama, but a damn good one at that!'
If anyone wants some good elastic or Aplix or maybe even some hemp fleece and or Malden Mills Micro Fleece (this stuff is what Lands' End calls their bunny belly fleece, or some other cutesy name lol) let me know! I'll be more than happy to sell ya some! LOL

A Conversation With BT;
Synopsis- While trying to save money, I decided to shop only at Wal-Mart for my groceries (yeah we have a super one, cool huh?). Wal-Mart does automatic debits when you write a check. My grocery bill is HUGE, thus meaning that in order to save money, by not shopping at Publix, (which is unGAWDly expensive), and floating a check for a couple of days. I needed to wait until payday and go to Wal-Mart. This in turn, meant that the only true food we had in the house was of the dinner variety. The children had things for Breakfast and lunch, but I had some slim pickin's(I'm picky). So my daily ritual for that week involved me going into the kitchen, opening the pantry, then moving to the fridge then finally, the freezer, only to turn and walk out empty-handed (after finding the kids something, gawd knows they are ALWAYS hungry). So Thursday of that week I walk into the kitchen and start my ritual of opening the pantry. BT and LT ALWAYS follow me into the kitchen, they have radar, no matter where those children are in the house (and no matter if they are sleeping or awake) they hear me walk into the kitchen.
Me (opening the pantry door); <heavy sigh, silent cursing>, "Hmmmm..."
BT (walking into the kitchen and coming up behind me as I close the door); "Any food in there yet, Mom?"
Me (stifiling heaves of laughter); "No." ;Opening the fridge door;
BT (again standing behind me, with his brother behind him); "None in there either, huh?"
Me (laughing outloud at this point); "Nope, but I'm going shopping tomorrow, YAY!"
BT; YAY!
The truly sad thing about the whole encounter was that BT was absolutely SERIOUS when he asked if there was food in there yet.
And just so everyone knows, we haven't had one of those weeks since...we re-financed the house that week and have saved $300 on our mortgage payment each month.
