huh.

I guess I will take pics of the gifties I made this year and post a blog about them. I'll need to do it tomorrow, though.

Hasinai Camp. Criminy grrl, it was HOT.

Caddo Camp. Adolecent Awesomeness. 7 days 6 nights. 74 teens/tweens. 11 adult teachers.

I survived 107 degree heat for 3 days, 102, 101, and 104. In the kitchen. It was not very well organized this year, and I had to do without some things until Wednesday, like groceries or pots. Or pans. I had 1 frying pan and 2 cookie sheets and NINE roasters. Not organized. But I did learn something new this year. The highest compliment I can give anyone is this--"We work well together" and the lowest thing I can say about you is this--"We do not work well together" I also learned I can feed 80+ people with 4 loaves of bread, 2 tubes of sausage, 5 small cans of evaporated milk, and half a bag of flour. I might be a kitchen goddesss.

Here are some of the Playas.

This is a really crappy Pic o' the Tracys. I was the Other Tracy and Loud Tracy was head honcho in charge. I'm not sure I want to work in the kitchen if she's gonna be my boss anymore. She has the corner on angry-blaming-PMS symptoms.

This is Donna and her husband, Andy. Donna and I work fairly well together, but her pace for the work is different than mine, so she was in charge of drinks. Playing to her strengths, it worked out fabulous. Andy is a 30 year vetran of the Marines. They were part of the Boy Scout Troop that came to camp this year. Andy had a good attitude and was a calming influence on Donna, since she had Kitchen Drama with me all week.

This it the Troop Leader, Justi and her right-hand-man Tim. They are quite a team, and Justi asked his wife if he could be a scout leader for her troop. Tim just got back from Iraq a few months ago. I really loved having Boy Scouts. They BROKE DOWN MY TENT AND PUT IT IN MY CAR!! I never had help breaking camp before. I wasn't sure how to handle it, so I just gave the scouts Twix bars.

Aunt Gail and Aunt Frances taught Caddo Dancing

Here are a few campers all dressed at an art expo in Chickasha. The kids are so wonderful!

I'm all done with camp for the year....Now what? I guess I need to get busy with next year, eh?

It was not for my laundry, huney! Hehehe.

This is a lovely rendition of Miss Tracy and her "I'm sooo Cute!' son, Philip.

Can you see how one foot is funky? I stepped on a nail and fubar'ed my foot and it swelled and generally looks icky and hurts like the dickens.

I do wish I had hair.

or clothes.

I must be a pretty lucky girl. Brillant daughters. Sweet boy. Delicious Hubby. I still neeed to bloggg about regalia...I been busy.

I may give crappy Note, but my Blowjobs are execllent

I read PD's notes on facebook and only understand every third word. The concepts behind them are totally beyond my pea-sized intellect. But hey, I lived with the KIT for a week in the 8th grade, and its not witty, or ivy education. Shes just that much smarter than the rest of us. (KIT= Know It All...I had to come up with something easy to yell at my youngest when her mouth overruns her ass)

Its spreading. RB sounds like her now, and her bloggy stuff is confusing. I guess that is okay, but I feel like I am at SOD again. (SOD= School Out Doors) But hey, I got a man willing to drive 700 miles for a blowjob. On that happy note, I bought my son a trampoline. He got in trouble at school for hugging one of his buddies (hugs are only for our Mommies) and spent THREE HOURS in what he calls "The Naughty Chair." I asked where the naughty chair was when I dropped off the boyo at school the next day, but I only got dumb looks from the Teacher. Naturally, I asked his best buddy what Philip did at school the day before, and he told me he sat in the naughty chair. Hmmm. I vote I believe the kids. 4 year olds are less able to lie. He always blames a dinosaur when he screws up bad, and when it is really freakin bad, he blames the dog. So, I bought him a trampoline for being a big-hearted-hugger.


Everyone loves it. You can't see Smokey, because black doggies blend into the background. Bummer. The pic is from my phone, which explains the poor quality. Another pic I took today was from the yearend awards assembly at school. Philip got a certificate of completion. No awards, but Daymn he was proud of it.


All the other kids just held theirs up, but he is waving his above his head and Whooping. What a cool kid. The boy doesn't do ANYTHING halfassed. I think enthused kiddos with big hearts need season passes to White Water, don't you? BRB.....Okay, I ordered them online and printed it out. Easy-peasy.

Like I said, I give crap note, but my Hawt hubby is driving 3 hours out of his way to get a BJ from me on his way to Pennsylvania from somewhere south of Laredo TX. The direct way is through Louisana. Pretty neato. He might be stopping over for a couple of hours for me to do his laundry, and not the BJ. Truthfully, I don't care. ;) Time is precious when you only get 46 days a year.

Boogkies

I was gonna blog about regalia, but I got all the boogkies pics on the puter, and I had to post about the biggybubble fest. Philip has called 'bubbles' boogkies forever, so we still call them boogkies at my house. Hot dogs are hoggies, ketchup is beebip, mosquitos are itchies, etc...

It took a minute, but the girls finally decided to go with us. I was worried they were too cool to go and biggiebubble with us, but reason prevails on middleschoolers (finally!)

Here are the supplies, snacks, and the supersecret bubble recipie...

Youngest daughter, participating under duress. Poor thing. (I love this pic!)

Shhhh! This is one of the ingredients. I picked it for it's name instead of it's properties to make awesome boogkies.Gettin' started. Daymn, I love surface tension.

Getting the hang of it. Biggiebubbling is a skill, and it takes practice and talent.

You go, Grrrl!Bubblegoddess. Her sister is just as good!!!

We needed to take a break for the very awesome Popcicle Gods. If the Popcicle Gods do not get a nice even sticky coat over small children, they become jealous of the Biggie Bubble Gods, since they are equally sticky. Tracy, the Popcicle-God-Thingy is spooky. What is in this thing, anyway? Are you sure it's not a popcicle?UmmmNummyNum! I wuve Pipcycle Gawds! Can I have yours?

Alaina showin her Skilz....


Same bubble, but its going to where all biggie bubbles go in the end...What a great day!

I simply cannot believe how much coffee I drink since I am a nonsmoking entity.

This works for me, but since I quit smoking, I began to notice small things around me.

Like smells.

Why in the heck-fire doesn't coffee taste like it smells?! Why is it in the popcorn catagory?!

Smells good before prep, smells fabulous while cooking, and finally, tastes Absolutely Nothing like it smells.

Shit. Why didn't anyone tell me it tasted like this? I am so hopelessly hooked on coffee I guess I will just have to put in more milk and More Splenda*

*Gods gift to humanity.

I need to post my mocs...They Freakin' Rock and make my feet very happy.

Tobacco Stops with me.

Okay, all the second hand smoke commercials are really annoying to me. I mean, com'on peoples, it didn't hurt us as kiddos. My grandparents smoked, my parents, my aunts, uncles, and cousins. All of them. and I turned out fine.

Sort of. I guess...

I am a horrific Derekaholic, and I'll do almost anything to get a chunk'o burnin' luv from him. Even blow off bills, and electricity is really important.

I am a huge underachiever, just ask my ex. I don't do anything except watch TV and eat junk food.

I have this really odd relationship with poo. It pops up everywhere in my life. Baby poo, dog poo, strange frontyard poos, toilet clogging poo, sick runny poo, strange skiddy-underwear poo. And I never EVER go buy new Johnny Paper until I am totally out. Even out of Kleenex out.

I also have this OCD/God complex thingy going on with beads and feathers. I think if there are enough beads, and enough feathers the Cosmic Universe will fall into a nice, clean simlple Kingdom where all things are fair and just. It just seems like the world is a happy place if I have effectively rubbed the "new bead smell" on my "bead sorting and storage area" I even feel good when I wash the poo off the feathers I get in the mail (continued from above).

Ever since I was a little girl, I have this insane urge to read smut novels and junk books just for entertainment. I DO occasionally read things just to post on MyBook and Facespace so I "pass" but mostly I just inhale worthless literature just for fun. I have very little desire to improve my mind. I am mostly reading to drown out the voices in my head, and I have noticed they recently formed a committee since I quit smoking to find new and creative ways to get the nicotine back. Bastards. I need to get a new smut novel at the store today and drown them out...

Well, maybe second hand smoke is bad.
1. Man-love addiction
2. Divorce/Poor nutrition
3. Poo
4. Obsession with inanimate objects
5. Unadulterated support of Adult novels.
6. Oppositionally Defiant with uploading photos, since it is not spelled "Pix" "Pics" or "Fotos"

I still need to buy TP today. sigh.

You wear your intolerance and fear like a valuable shawl that has been passed down through the family. Truthfully, it kinda makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit to see it on you.

Live and let live, baby....

Walk a mile in my mocs....

When did you buy a glass house?

I been busy, buddy

Remember when I won these on ebay for cheep-cheep?The eyes color shift green-blue-magenta-purple-indigo. Sooo cooool. They are from a peacock pheasant. Asian lands have some of the bestest birdies and you can own the feathers without the fear of the federalies coming and strong-arming you like a bad tv movie. I have been all tingly and excited and wondering what was gonna happen to these beauties....

I deliberately put in a less than perfect pic, since I am not done. I still need to do the fan handle.

philip --Hey! My son typed that when I left the 'puter to put laundry in the dryer! Neato!

I spent 10 years of my life with a whiny little girl.

The ring tone on my cell for my ex is the Star Wars Darth Vader theme. There is a reason for that. It is a nice compliment to the bad news he always is tiding. He is similar to the anti-serenity that comes with Nuclear Escalation.

Da-da-do-diddy-do-da, "Hello. What is going on?"

"Hey, Tracy! Do you have an airpump thingy like at 7-11?"


"Yesss. Why?"

"Can you bring it over?"

"Uuuuh, no it weighs like 600 pounds."


"I have a very flat tire, and I need to air it up! I am in a hurry! I need to get to work!"

"Fix a Flat?"

"No! I did that already this week! It is reallyreally flat. The rubber is all folded over" (see pic above...)

"Oooohkay. So, change your tire."

"That will take too long!" (I am thinking he doesn't know how to do this...) "Can you help so it will go faster?"

"Suuuure. I know you have issues with car repairs. What-goes-where is confusing for you." (Moron.)
Tracy, Goddess of all things Mechanical, to the rescue. I cannot count how many tires I have changed, in heels and a miniskirt, no less. I even changed a master cylinder on the side of the highway in Dallas during rush hour. I like brakes. I think back to high school, and I was smart to buy that '69 Chevelle. I had to learn how to work on cars and pronto. Or walk.

I changed his damn tire. He went to work. I came home and smoked a cigarette. I don't view this as a failure. The universe aligned against my wishes to be smoke-free and sent my ex-moron. In reality, it was a resounding success. I only smoked one ciggy, and I didn't shoot him, either.


Yea me!

6 adults (sort of)
1 PreK teacher
31 preschoolers
Zoo.
Oklahoma Day at Zoo.
5 straight hours.
lunch was over an hour late.
Someone shoot me.

I didn't smoke. But I didn't really have a chance to think about it. I had to fish a kid out of the pond. I'm pretty sure we are both sterile now. Okay for me I guess since I have 3, but he might have wanted a couple in 20 years or so. We didn't loose any kids, and that was a bonafide miracle, but I ended up picking up a kid from somewhere, and I had him for over an hour before I realized, "Hey! Youre not one of ours! Is that why you have been crying for over an hour?" I gave him to a girl in a cop uniform and said " There ya go...He's lost." and left. I already had my hands full with the 6 worst troublemakers. Why did the teacher give me her 6 worst boys? Because I was the only one of the 6 who had a kid in her "Bad Group"

6 weeks, 3 days, 4 hours until I am done with this woman. I know this is just another thing we must endure, but Criminy lady, can you give kiddos a chance?

Isiah ate a rollypolly. He threw up in a trash can, and it gagged the other boys. Sigh. The day is over. Almost.

I tried listening to Seether loud enough to drown out the voices in my head. Total failure. My next attempt is to gag them with cookies.I dunno if it will work, but there are elephants in the box, and last I checked, an elephant can gag a lion. I just want the committee in my head to quit voting for ciggys. Well, actually I don't care what the committee in my head votes for as long as it will do it silently.

Am I the only person in the world who loves animal crackers? Please note I do not believe them to be crackers on a fundamental level, but I do believe them to be cookies. I'd never use squirt cheese on them, which defines a cracker and general placement in the pantry.

I really need to blog about regalia. I have been quite productive. All I can think about on Palm Sunday is Cigarettes! My neighbor was smoking on her porch and the smell hit me this morning, and it smells like duck farts, and I really want a duck fart of my own.

What is wrong with me?

I went to a Intertribal Dance at OCU with the Hasinai Society. I have a fundamental difference of opinion with the head of this about the way the world works. This does not mean I do not respect and admire the work done. But I still smoke at her. Well, I want to smoke at her, but I dont since I am not a smoker. I may have pushed my nonsmoker envelope to the ragged, torn, weak, pitiful edges. But the girls were beautiful....Wanna see?

All I can say is THANK GAWDALLMIGHTY my girls are not princess. Whew. Tons of work, effort and time, with almost no payoff or gratitude. Even my Grandma thought the whole "Princess" idea was inkanish (white). and a waste of time, since all NDN women are prettier than white girls. Duh! I gotta admit, I don't wanna do it. Cori makes a great princess, and her Momma is willing...Bobs yer uncle.

This pic contains: Cranky leader, cranky teenager, cranky tween, cranky spoiled brat, 2 cutie pies, and a Princess in a pear tree!!! Why did I quit smoking again? I forget, because ciggys worked GREAT on situations like this.

Okay, I gotta admit, I really like hanging out with kiddos. Most of the time, they are great and make me feel alive and like a really important part of my community. So pretty, freshfaced, eager for some acceptance and approval for their little emerging personalities. What a blessing. Well, I didn't smoke, and I reallyreally wanted to. I did scream like a wild banshee in heat a few times, but I guess thats a trade off. The girls and Philip have pitched enough fits about my smoking they can deal with a couple of mine while I quit.

I knew it!! coffee=cigarettes.

Quick! pass me another frickin sticker to slap on my ass that should curb the ravings (here is the frickin' C!)

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. someone please beat me over the head until I am unconscious. Or send Derek home so I can get laid. Either or will work. I like Valium, too.

Gack.

I don't wanna smoke. Reason #1 I can't smoke in the store when I go and buy Philip's soccer supplies for the first time.

I wanted something to do with my hands, so I am making new moccasins for me. Derek said my toes were adorable in the pic, which makes me all fuzzy-hearted.

But I worry I won't notice things like I used to while smoking. I would see details and oddities people in the car didn't notice. My brain has quit working worth beans, and I wonder if I will ever notice things like this again...Okay my camera phone sucks, but it is a new paper tag with the date of purchase written in big block letters "022909" I would have jumped out and taken a better pic, but the gangstas in the 'burb scared me a little. You cannot have a leap year if it is an odd year. Gotta be even year, folks.

But on a happy note, Philip learned how to identify my pirate-ship art, and he can tell me how to spell "Pirate" neato, eh? You probaby disagree, but he insists it spells "Pirate!" Stick to your guns, buddy!

On a happy note, while I was purchasing soccer supplies, I noted an intersting Item. For 299$ this can be mine.

I could buy this with the money I save from not smoking in 5 weeks!! Can you imagine? Bliss in a box, with a convienent carry bag! I could whirlpool at a CAMPSITE! Oh Holy Moley. If I wanted, I can do this in my Livingroom! This little box is God's way of letting me know he loves me. And he doesnt want me to smoke. Even though I have given up 1. drugs (soooo fun) 2. Alcohol (favorite social lube) 3. sex (I only see Derek about every 6 weeks) 4. Music (no babysitters for concerts, yo) and now, 5. Nicotine. If the doc says caffiene is gonna kill me, I will simply buy a burial plot because I cannot give up coffee. Period.

I dunno if I wanna run, hide, shit, smoke or scream. Egads. I am a nonsmoker. I guess I will hide. I may also try to drown out my head with girlscout cookies. maybe I will nap. How come the bobbypins you buy today weigh half as much as the old ones? Why am I thinking about pincurls? I do realize it would take like 6 years to pincurl my hair. I have hair past my waist. I don't like the drama my x creates so when he calls I think I'll ugly ignore the phone. I don't want another hysterical fit or anything.

I quit Smoking today.

I am either gonna get healthy or get really fat.

Random Thoughts: What happened to colored toilet paper? My grandparents always had pink TP and it looked great in their pink-and-black bathroom.

Holy cow I finally got a blog. I wonder if I will use it? I miss smoking already and it is only 9am. Christ.
