Life with mEnTaL IlLnEsS

Have you ever just stopped doing something....right in it's tracks...just to think...what the hell is the matter with me?

Yesterday was a day long of chores. My moment was vacuuming trying to get that string off the floor. You all know "that string" we have all had one. I used the vaccume to no avail, the string just sticks to the floor. I roll over it again for it to move two inches upward on the carpet, then 2 inches backward as I roll back. Then I am pissed so I roll it back and forth back and forth back and forth really fast. At this point I have whacked the vaccume into a wall and my kids are watching now as I am cursing under my breath and growling. I am not going to pick up a freggin string. Finally my son comes to my rescue, walks over, and picks up the string, giving me a sideway glance, letting me know that I lost. This was my moment of mental illness.


My children decided that they were going to be mentally challenged this weekend as well. I went to the store for 45 minutes and came home. As I am approaching my home I see a neighbor in his car talking in his car pointing at my house. I'm thinking great...the house is on fire. Then I see it. My sons decided that the easiest and most 'fun' way to take the TV out of their sisters room without her knowing it (as she was in another room) was to go out the window. Creative yes...dumb? Absolutely.

The neighbors were looking at my sons ass sticking out the window, and him holding a TV. It looked as though someone was breaking and entering. I was waiting for the cops to show up, as we have a very strict neighborhood watch, and homeowners association. I truly was expecting it as last month my son took his basketball hoop out to the curb and that is not allowed, so one of the other homeowners actually snapped a picture, ans sent a warning letter that if this were ever to happen again, that we would be fined.

To prove my point that mental illness does run in families, my favorite story is of my very blonde daughter. I was out one evening with a new cell phone that was not working properly. She was trying to call and could not get though so she thinks she should call 411 and get the number, since I did not leave it, knowing I always answer my cell. When I came home that evening she tells me the story of not being able to find the number. After being assured everything was ok, they just wanted to know if they could eat all the pizza, I asked what happened to her calling information, that I never got a call. She said that she could not remember the number to 411.

I have never laughed so hard in my life.

This tops it all:)

The Alien Gods are Pissed

I am in a foul mood today. My job sucks big gigantic gopher balls lately. Our insurence premiums went up, not to mention we have a HUGE deductible. So basically they might as well take two of my paycheks each month to pay for health insurance. Last night after playing pool, I come out to find I got a big dentin the passengers side door , like someone had kicked it real hard. Spring has sprung, and the newly dented car was covered in a layer of yellow pollen, and now I look like I have been crying all night, but really it is the allergies from all the fucking pollen. Then I woke up this morning, and there is no coffee, and I brushed my teeth with benadryl anti itch cream by accident, I think this was due to the lack of focus from the coffee withdrawl setting in all ready.


It's 9 am, and I think maybe, I should quietly leave work, go home, slip into my favorite tee shirt, and go back to bed.


Not SO Almighty Heidi

Almighty Heidi's Hangover Remedies

It is a week and a half after my birthday. It has taken me awhile to get over that night. I am finding the OLDER you get, the harder it is to function the next day...or the next...or even the next..In my quest for the best hangover remedies, I have found many superb quotations, two of which were from one of our founding fathers.

There can't be good living where there is not good drinking.
-- Benjamin Franklin


Beer is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy- Benjamin Franklin

Now this makes sense, who else in there right mind is going to tie metal to a kite during a lightning storm to see what happens. He had to be drunk of his ass. They don't mention that part in the history books!!

Here are some more fun quotes:

The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk they're sober.
--William Butler Yeates


You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.
-- Dean Martin :
Ummm yeah, I had that would spinny thing going on, that sucked.

I often sit back and think, "I wish I had done that," and find out later that I already have.
-- Richard Harris:
Yup..I did that tooo

I
drink to make other people interesting.
-- George Jean Nathan : HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!



The church is near, but the road is icy. The bar is far away, but I will walk carefully.
-- old Russian proverb
This sounds like something my grandfather would say


Ok now that we've had a history lesson, and also we know many famous people love to indulge in the drink as well, I feel as though my drunken stupor during my Birthday was just like a righ of passage, and it is ok to see the ceiling spin while laying on the floor.

The next morning I absolutely had to go to work...that hurt. I remember the night before ordering a sub, and I taked to the sub. I told it to "be kind to me", because "I will throw you up later" leading me to realize, yes, in that moment I knew exactly what I was doing, so there must have been some sanity in the 7 shots of goldschlager.


I got up, had very strong coffee, and went to work wanting to die. The sun hurt, noise hurt, i just wanted to put on some sweat pants and a tee shirt, and climb into the womb of the warm bed I left behind. Not to metion my new friend the ceramic bowl.

This I proved later that day, that I mmust have a game plan for next year....or whatever holiday comes up first, for a hangover remedy. This is what I found on the internet.



- 6 raw almonds before bedtime: So says the Americann Indians. From what I hear they have quite the drinking problem. I can eat almonds just so long as they are chocolate covered.

- Take two teaspoons of primrose oil: NOT. this will bring on the process of puking I would assume.

- African remedy: Peanut butter: I could not imagine throwing this up. Eww.

- Prickly pear cactus extract: Oh yeah, I keep a bottle of this around.

- Bloody Mary: This did surprise me. When you are drinking alot you arpoisoning your body. There is a chemical in alcohol called Congeners, say it with me people: Congeners. Good now lets continue.
These so called Congeners (Along with dehydration) are toxic chemicals made in fermentation. When there are too many in your body, it makes ya real sick.

After a night of binge drinking it is iportant NOT to take ibuprofen or ESPECIALLY ACETAMETAPHIN,because this mixed with the congeners, can cause liver damage. say it again with me so you don'tt die:


I will not take anything for my hangover headache in the form of pain relievers, because it can cause LIVER DAMAGE, and I will have a miserable death because therearen't enough organ donors, and I don't need some poor healthy kids liver that dies in a car accident because I drank too much.

Ok back to the bloody Mary. The saying that you should drink the next morning never sat well with me, but apparently it is true for a scientific reason. Apparently alcohol is adepressantt right?? We have all seen "that guy", you know who he is there is one in every bar, crying and telling everyone that "I love you man..no no I really love you man"
This may or may not be the effects of the depressant...I just think it's the feminine side of that man coming out of the closet. Having a drink helps to ease the symptoms of coming off of the depressant, and a bloody mary contains lots of vitamins you body is screaming for. This is only said to be a temporary effect.

However there are no cures for wakig up the next morning and remembering all the things you said drunk. That one you have to face on your own, as I had to do myself. I thought to myself, well, at least I had a great tim
e,


then the flashbacks came, then another, and yet another, and I was cringing saying to myself, oh god..oh no..I did not do that...


On that note, evryone have a happy and safe weekend!!

Pot Roast Sunday

Today was Pot Roast Sunday. It is pretty much a norm around here, anything you can throw into a crock pot, so you don't have to "cook" is my specialty.


My middle son has been giving me alot of 'attitude' that I must nip in the butt. This weekend he told me he was going to the movies, and did not ask. He told me he was spending the night at his friends, and did not ask. After he was grounded, and found out that this included taking the x box out of his room, his tv, and his radio, and anything that brough him any kind of 'joy' other than a book, he decided to tell me how much I suck.

I was watching a discovery show about dogs. Because they run in packs they look for the dominant male, and if there is none, they assume the authority, and lead the other dogs.


Because of the lack of a dominant male in my household, my son has decided to take on the roll of dominant dog. I have held back the urge to beat my son into realizing I am the dominant 'bitch' (Hehehe female dog get it?) of the home, and proceeded to stand firm and make his life a living hell untill he conforms.



Realizing from the discovery channel there must be an all out fight, to see who the winner is, it is my every intention to win.



I did have a good laugh today as I let him outside for one task today. My daughter is 15 and wants to be a CSI investigator. She was 'pretending' to be one today as she drew my sons outlines with white chalk in the driveway, and took pictures of the "crime scene"


If the neighbors did not know she did this, they might be inclined to belive that I finnally "did in" with my son. It made me laugh.

All in all he is a good pup at heart, he just needs some help finding his way, and
that I still make the rules.


Have a great Sunday.

The bitch..Almighty Heidi.

Today is my Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woooooooooohooooooooooooooooo Happy Birthday to Me, happy birthday to me.

I was pretty happy about this, untill the fleeting thought went through my brain that in order for me to have exsistance on this earth, my parents first must have had sexual intercourse. Gross. Then after that my mother was to squeeze me out of the unmentionable parts of her body. GrossER.

More blogs later, but I must go out this evening so I can give you tales of the hungover Heidi at work tommorrow.

Adios!

The Almighty Birthday Girl.

My Ten Top Career choices

Browsing around on MSN today I saw the Top 10Career picks for Pisces. I am not much of an astrological sign person, but I did find it amusing.

To give you a round about of the article, it says that us Pisces, are creative and intuitive, and are never on time. (I beg to differ about the time thing). They happen to be very caring and compassionate.

Here are the top 10 choices:

1: Monk/Nun: I thought I was going to fall out of my chair laughing. Not something like a psychologist, or something...A fregging nun. It truly is a prophetic word to my future, as relationships have not been my strong suit, and I did say that If this relationship does not work out, I could became a lesbian or a nun.

2. Ok..brace yourselves, this one is even better.....A 'lighthouse keeper':
What???????? Ok, I am going to post my resume on Monster.Com requesting a job as a lighthouse keeper and see what happens, forget that my son does not know how to sim very well, he'll get over that quick the first time he falls into the shark infested ocean in the middle of nowhere.

3.Psychic: Well this could be fun. I will have my own 800 number, that cost 1.00 per minute.

4.Pharmisist: How boring is this one. However, I could get my hands on some hallucinogenic drugs, and this would help me with my psychic job, I think I might be onto something really good here.

5.Bartender: Been there done that...I ws akick ass bartender for a long time.

6.,7.8.9: Religious teacher, filmmaker, photographer, animator: They want me to have a job as a religious teacher. The use of alcohol from becoming a bartender might help. When I am drunk I lover everyone (thus child number 2)...and f there are other drunks around, they love me too. God is love, and love happens to be Captain Morgan. Yo ho ho and a bottle of yum.

Finally 10: After telling me I needed to become a pharmacist or bartender, it ends up with that I need to become....An addictions counselor.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Ok, let me share a few words about that. I could never, ever, become an addictions counselor, after living with an alcoholic, and a drug addict. My "therapy" would be to sent them to most remote part of the face of this earth with nothing..like a suvivor episode, for at least a year. Someplace where there are big gigantic killer bugs, no toilet paper, deodorant, or other human beings for them to make miserable. They would have to hunt and make their own food, and make there own housing.

A year later I would send a plane to pick them up. They will have hopes of coming back to real life. They will be thanking god that they made it through then would let them touch civilized land, create a huge dinner, invite them to sit at the table where they will haveto watch everyone else eat, and become full. Then I would have a few body guards throw them on a plane, and tell them...your not done yet, go back...and make them stay another 3 months, then do it again and again and again, and make life a living hell full of hope so they think "Maybe this time...will be it" and then have shoved back into their faces the bitter reality that it will never end...just as they had done to the families they have lived with before.

Ahhh sweet revenge.


I am ok....really:)

Love,

The ever so compassionate Almighty Heidi:)

I Am a Dork

There is no other real way to describe the AlmightyHeidi. I am a dork. My daughter has inherited the gene as well. We may seem real normal on the outside, ...untill you see one of us walk into a wall or trip over our own feet...often.

I have been going to the gym alot lately. I am not sure if it is some sick form of self punishment, but every muscle in my body hurts like hell. By March you have to be "beach worthy"...you have to be able to get back into the bikini you once wore last year, after all the Thanksgiving, christmas, new years, superbowls, and valentine choclate binges....So Feb-March is crunch time...literally...thus the lack of blogging, because I just want to die.

To help myself along in the pain process I decided to pleasure myself, to make it all worth while...no guys..not what your thinking. It is nearing my 29th...ok my 33rd birthday and I have given myself the gift of skin cancer. I got a tanning package, so I can get on the road to being "beach worthy" a little soonner.
Ok, this is where my dorkeyness comes in...so bear with me a bit longer.

The first two visits to the tanning bed I was fine, I did not burn. So a few days ago, I went for the full 15 minutes. I was in my gym clothes and forgot to bring my bathing suit, so all the tan lines could be in the right places. So...I got in the booth naked. My sports bra would leave the tan lines all funny, so screw it. 15 very relaxing minutes go by and I go to the gym. When I get home my daughter says "You look really red mom" I go to the bathroom and sure enough, I am burnt, not bad, but enough.




After some household chores I decide that I want to take a bath, my muscles are really sore now. I start my thousand degree bubble bath, and get in forgetting I am burnt. Not only am I burnt, but because I went naked and my butt has never seen the sun...it and other parts of my body are on fire...and I lower my body into the water. It takes about 20 seconds....then my kids hear "HOLY SHIT OW OW OW " coming out of the bathroom and wonder if they need to call 911. It felt like I put my body in a tub full of acid. That did not go so well.


Today I decide on my quest for spring beauty, I am going to paint my toenails. On the way in to grab my polish, I look in the mirror and decide I must wax my eyebrows to. It is a new wax that I have never used before, but they are all similar. I carefully apply the wax, as not to rip off an entire eyebrow,which I have done in the past. After the wax cools, I say a little prayer, then rip the hairs off in one fast painful swipe. "SON-OF- A BITCH" I yell.

My daughter starts looking up Touretts syndrome on the internet after seeing it on Oprah. She is pretty sure her mother has contracted it.


In the wax kit, as most there is a little lotion bottle inside to soothe whichever part of your body you have waxed. I decide, my face it a bit dry from the tannning so I will apply this aloe type lotion all over my face. About 1o seconds go by, then all of a sudden I can't feel my face, but it has a strange warming sensation. I am not sure if I am having a stroke, or some kind of allergic reaction. I poke at my nose, and I can't feel it. I am freaking out. I look at the bottle and it has aloe and Lidocaine. Lidocaine is used often in medicine for numbing. Feeling relived knowing I will be ok, I then decide to apply it to my very burnt buns...and boobs.


Let me tell you, what an interesting feeling that was. I've decided I could market this stuff on the internet....for some other purposes:)

Have a great weekend.

Heidi
