'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the state
the people were starving while Granholm ate steak.
She looked at her administration and said with a laugh,
"We evicted them all. Who else can we shaft?"
"Please pass me the steak, I'll give it some thought,
Don't waste all this food the taxpayers bought."
She looked out the window all snowy and cold,
when up she did jump: "Let's go after the old."
We'll go after their pensions, their Medicare and all,
we'll make their lives miserable, we'll all have a ball.
They talked about prisons, the inmates and staff,
with a gleam in her eye said, "The guards we can shaft."
We'll lay off large numbers, we'll work them alone.
We don't give a darn, we're safe in OUR home.
They all raised their glasses, said a toast we must do!
"Here's to all the poor people and homeless we screw."
We'll take all their welfare, their food and their heat
we'll shut down some prisons, put the cons on the street.
We'll put them on tethers, probation and parole
and turn them all loose, with no place to go.
They won't have a job, they'll live on the street.
Their only survival is whom they rob, rape or beat.
So up they did jump after a wonderful meal.
They jumped in their foreign cars, No Ford, or Oldsmobile.
All through the night they sped like the wind
"Don't worry about tickets, the cops are all friends."
So to all of the jobless, she flashed a big grin
you had this one coming, the rich voted us in.

Wooooooooosshhhhhhhhhhhh
And that's the sound of life in the fast lane folks. Oh where, oh where has time gone? Last blog in October? That means Halloween, Thanksgiving, a kiddie birthday, and tons of work days have streamed by at lightening speed leaving little time for me to even wonder "where in the hell is all this time going?"
Work is work. Things at the new store have left little time for the old store. Getting 60+ people all on the same page can sometimes be a bit daunting but a chore that I am still warmly embracing. Slowly we are climbing the steps towards greatness, as measured by me of course, and getting a once much disorganized store into a straight line. The budget is much improved and the owner and my supervisor extremely happy. So that's good.
The kids are growing faster than I can imagine they would have. Princess is taller than me as she has been for over a year now. She's done with volleyball for this year and has moved onto Varsity Cheerleading all the while carrying a 3.94 GPA. I have no idea how she does it considering she leaves the house at 7:30am and returns well after 7pm each weekday. She comes home, does homework, grabs a bite to eat, takes a shower, and heads to bed. She attends a local University for half her day and takes accelerated Math and Science courses which hurl her thru one high school book each semester. I knew she had outsmarted me when she cruised over to me for math help. I looked at the book and said "What is this?" and she smiled and said "Trig". WTF? "I can't even spell that much less tell you how to do it kiddo." The smile on her face showed how proud she is of herself. In her junior and senior years of high school she will be taking college coursed and getting credit towards a degree. Hope the scholarships fly because this cookie is going to head to a mega college with the brain in her noggin.
Bear is the same height as I am. He is so amazingly proud of the growth, now just to catch up to daddy. He's doing so much better in school this year...except math. Wonder if having his sister tutor him is a bad idea? Probably. Seems he "chats" with a young lady in his school online. Hmmmmm....he can't possibly be old enough for girlfriends can he? Especially not if he takes after his father, I'm not ready for that chase! Although I am so glad to see that him entering his teen years has not taken his compassion and heart from him. So many teenagers seem to get moody and angry, not my bear. He still has a heart of gold and I hope it takes him far in life. He will always be the guy who everybody turns to for a shoulder to lean on. Hard to find in life.
Snookies, what in the hell can I say about him? He's started being curious about cooking and loves to help, if his interest in it can hold up. He has a tendancy to have a wandering mind so keeping the thought of "It's almost time to stir the noodles" in his head for more than two or three minutes is hard. No, he isn't ADHD or whatever that made up crap is, he's a normal ten year old boy. He's got shit to do man! He's doing well in school, thank goodness. I am just not sure I can handle another year of "He seems disinterested and lays his head on his desk often." You try to tell a ten year old who is full of life just because he is bored doesn't mean he can roll his eyes and flop his head onto his desk. The teacher thought he was being rude, he was just being him. Snookies intends very little to be rude, he just...well...he's him. His mind is always racing and looking for the next challenge in life. He does something until he gets it and understands it and masters it...then onto the next thing. School doesn't always go that way and getting him to understand it took much of last year. Next year should be better for him as he will be in middle school and able to do more.
Did I miss a kid? Ah yes, Frank. =P He's doing well, just not on his blog. I can't even begin to tell ya what he's up to with that. My loving husband endures quite a bit with me and my crazy self. Wonder if he ever thought he would one day be a friend, lover, husband, secretary, sounding board, and psychiatrist all to one person. Hell, I'm just glad he doesn't smack me and tell me to never speak to him again. He listens to all of my crazy rants, work stories, stresses of life, and wacky ideas but never tells me to shut up. I would love to say that I'd do the same for him, but I have a hard enough time putting up with my own crazy self so I'm super glad he's grounded. Without him I am not sure I could do everything I need to do in a day. Now if I could just wrangle more massages out of him...wonder if two a day is too much?
I'm super jealous of his new car. It's so pretty and makes me dream of getting one for me. But I'm not into debt and don't want to get another car payment. I don't like to have any debt over my head and that's why we don't have credit cards or any loans or other stuff. But we just hadn't saved up enough cash for this car to pay cash like we did last time, so car payments here we come! If this is what being an adult feels like, I pass. Oh well, it is a super nice car...now how do I get him to swap me it for the van? lol
Putting up the Christmas tree soon, so I guess I should wrap this up for now. No, the tree isn't up. The damn tree elves never showed up and I have had too much shit to do. So today is the day.
To all those bloggers that I follow and care for, I might not have been commenting but I have been reading. Glad to see that things seem to be looking up for everybody and I hope you all have the happiest of holidays.
Peace Out <3
