Thanks for stopping by!

Wednesdays are great for Wordless and Wordful posts, but we decided to go a different route and create our own Wednesday fun. We figured what the hell. That’s how we started What The Hell Wednesday. Who are we kidding? That’s pretty much how we decide on almost everything.

I don’t know if you’ve heard of the website ROBLOX, but both my sons play it.  It’s kind of like a lego type website.  Anyways, Thing 2′s account has been hacked.  What the Hell?  It’s a website designed for kids, but this isn’t the first time his account has been hacked.  And now trying to deal with this issue only via email is very aggravating.  Why the hell don’t websites have customer service numbers to call?  I don’t want to send an email and wait a day, only to receive another one that really doesn’t fix what’s going on.  So now I’m in email hell trying to figure out his account!  If your child wants to use it, don’t pay for it, just let them do the free version, otherwise you’ll end up with some issue.  Oh, and make sure you cancel the membership before 1 month is up, or they will re-bill your credit card, and they do not believe in refunds. 

There is a scare war going on at my house right now.  So far I’m losing.  The kids, and my bf have decided that they need to scare each other, including me daily.  Today both the kids were scared by my bf.  I was in on both of the pranks, and they were hilarious, but now the scare war is really on.  You can’t walk by a closed door without someone hiding in it ready to jump out and scare the beegeesus out of you!  What the Hell???

Hiccups before bedtime.  What the Hell??????

Today is our parent’s Anniversary. They’ve been married for an amazing 53 years. They met when they both worked for Eastern Airlines. My father was a Flight Engineer and my mother was a Stewardess. They were engaged and married in a few short months and their best man was a Cuban Gun Runner.

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!

Memorial Day weekend also marks the 4th anniversary of Blue Monkey Butt. A lot has changed since we started but we’re still blogging. We’ve had a lot of fun in the past 4 years. I’ll never forget going to Disney Social Media Moms in 2011 and I’m looking forward to attending Blogher 12 and rooming withand!

We’re still in Disney World and each morning we are getting to the parks later and later. Well, it’s not actually morning by the time we get there. But everyone is a lot happier if we get more sleep and that makes me a lot happier.

Here’s J-Man’s favorite purchase from Hollywood Studios

He is always making movies and now he can make it even more official.

That’s it for now. We are off to EPCOT!

Don’t forget to join us tomorrow for What The Hell Wednesday!

So last night I wrote all my Random Tuesday Thoughts, and scheduled the post for the next day.  Apparently it didn’t show any of it at first.  What The Hell?  Have I been away for so long that I forgot how to blog??  So, if you didn’t get to read our RTT, please scroll down to see it now. 

Thing 2′s class is going on a field trip next week to Washington, D.C.  He decided months ago that he didn’t want to go.  I did try to push him to go since I remember having a blast on my D.C. trip, but he didn’t want to.  He informed me today that the one teacher staying at the school asked if he wanted to stay home Wednesday through Friday.  What The Hell??  I guess that teacher didn’t want to come to school if Thing 2 wasn’t going to attend.  I get it, but still, thanks a lot.  Now he’ll go to school one day next week and then be home for the rest!

Tonight I went to the gym to use their 30 minute workout room.  It has 20 “stations” that you go to, so that you work out for a total of 30 minutes.  There is also a red and green light that flashes to tell you when to move.  While I was working out a couple came in and started using one of the weight machines, and stayed there when the light turned.  What The Hell??  Can you not read the signs that tell you that it’s a 30 minute workout?  Or see the numbers on the floor??  Some old guy yelled at them, and with the glares they received from the rest of us working out, they left shortly thereafter.  Stupid non-rule followers.

Speaking of stupid people at the gym.  One guy on a weight machine saw someone they obviously knew and yelled, “Hey so and so, what are you doing here, are you working out here?”  What The Hell??  Gee, I wonder dumbass, what could he be doing at the gym on a weight machine??

Hey, remember me? The long lost little sister of Elle? I’ve made a comeback due to Elle being in some part of Florida that I’ve never heard of that apparently has never heard of Internet service. It’s 2012, go figure.

I am not a fan of Landlords, or at least any that I’ve ever had. I know mine is a bit shady, although tonight I used that to my advantage. I had asked for a receipt of deposit of my security deposit with the excuse that I needed it for some paperwork. Funny, he called me tonight, and couldn’t give me that information. I could tell he was lying, and most likely my $850 security deposit has been used for something other than earning interest in an account somewhere. In NH, the laws are a little vague on what information has to be provided when requested. But he was super nice to me before the conversation ended, telling me that if I am late on the rent again, it was okay, and he understands. Way too nice if you ask me….

Where I sit at work I can see the women’s bathroom. There is someone that puzzles me at work. She always brings her purse into the bathroom with her. As a woman, I know that’s not super weird, but she doesn’t come out with any more makeup on. Yes, I’ve noticed if she has or not. I just find it weird that it’s every single time. The other day I was walking out of the office when she was coming out of the bathroom and I said, “Oh are you coming back in?” And she said, “yes.” I said, “Oh I wasn’t sure if you were leaving or not because you had your purse in your hand.” She just laughed….well played Missy, well played.

Today I saw a girl walking into work at the supermarket wearing one of those hats that looks like a bear head. You know the ones that have fur and ears, and just your face sticks out of? Okay it just looks like a bears head. I’m thinking when she goes into work all her coworkers must think, “Oh crap, here comes crazy Teddy Ruxpin again.”

About a week or so ago I decided to use my tanning privileges at the gym. Now I haven’t been tanning since I was in High School, and I really don’t believe in it, but I figured a couple shades darker than Casper would be okay. Well between “Tanning Mom” and Casper. Anyways, I laid down on the bed, turned it on, and lowered the top. And that’s when I started freaking out. All I kept thinking was that I was going to be suffocated in the tanning bed, and how I felt like I was in a human waffle maker. Needless to say it wasn’t a very relaxing 10 minutes.

Now that we are back on the road I have service again. But since I’m attempting to write this from my iPhone, it’s going to be short.

We made it to Florida last night, but it was still another 5 hours of driving to get to our destination. We stopped near Flagler Beach in an area that apparently has little to no cell service or Internet. Which made for some tense moments with Sissy. Somehow we survived the no Internet and the crazy guy outside the BBQ place we stopped at. We were just starting to back up when another car came flying in the lot, stopped next to us, and a tall sweaty guy jumps out and starts waving his arms at us to stop. I swear I thought I heard him say “brake light”. We stopped and I rolled down the window a crack (because my mother taught me well and my internal stranger danger alarm was going off). Then he said he was trying to get home and needed directions. Clearly asking the couple from New York to give directions in Florida is a great idea. We said can’t help you and rolled up the window and he approached another car. I guess they couldn’t help him either because he drove off. If he really needed directions he could have gone inside any of the restaurants or gas stations. I told Stacy about it and she said “Zombie” and mine she was right. He could have said brains not brakes although, I don’t think zombies get that sweaty.

Also, don’t forget to join us for What the Hell Wednesday tomorrow!

It is a story about a 12 year old girl named Kristina who doesn’t quite fit in at her school. Her favorite teacher gives her an odd Christmas gift that will transport Kristina into a realm of fairies, gnomes, and an evil queen with an army of gruesome creatures called zelbocks. Kristina finds herself at the center of it all as “The Chosen One” charged with placing the Magic Warble back in it’s rightful place which will free the land from the evil queen. On her adventure she is joined by Prince Werrien and mischevious fairies Clover and Looper.

The plot has many twists and turns which keep you guessing right up to the end. Kristina has some doubts, but she doesn’t let that stop her from fulfilling her destiny to be “The Chosen One.” She overcomes many obstacles and learns to trust in herself and her new friends.

Victoria Simcox, the author of The Magic Warble has graciously allotted 3 copies of her novel for a giveaway. We have one print copy available and 2 eBooks. Entry information and requirements can be found below.

Sorry for how short this will be. I’ve been working, sweating, and stressing over switching our site to a new host because our other hosting company sucked. I’ve wanted to switch for years but have always chickened out at the last minute because it looked to hard and complicated for me. You know what? It was hard and complicated and I’m still tweaking things, but I did it! Go me! I promise you won’t come to our site and say “What the Hell happened here?” for very long!

In hindsight, staying up until 1am with Perry the Wonder Dog may not have been my best idea. Giving him a bath and a haircut has been on my Pre-Road-trip To Do List, but I wasn’t planning on starting at 10pm last night. It all started because Perry was having some “issues”. Because he needed a haircut, his fur was a little too long on his back end which caused said issues. Apparently, this is very depressing to dogs, or maybe just to Perry. I really don’t know. I was trying to walk him last night but he didn’t even want to walk. He would just lie there in the grass, in the dark with his head on his paws looking sad. This is usually a dog that could give a Jack Russell on speed a run for his money. Even though it was already after 10, I knew it meant bath time. What the Hell??!! I’ll spare you the gory details and just say it involved rubber gloves, warm soapy water, and scissors. I brought him back upstairs to dry him off and since he was sitting on my lap I started trimming his fur a little at a time and much to my surprise he let me! All the other times, grooming him has meant sedatives (not for me, for him, although afterwards I could probably use one) and another person to hold him. I took advantage of the situation and just kept cutting. Before I knew it, it was 1am. Looking at him this morning, he doesn’t look too bad but I’m exhausted.

Sometimes in the middle of the night when I should be sleeping, but can’t, my mind wanders to some weird thoughts. I have always said I just want my children to be happy when they are adults and that is all that is important, but that isn’t exactly true. I would have a real problem if one of my children announced that they were going to join the circus to be a clown. I hate clowns! C’mon, admit it, they are just so creepy! So, as long as none of my children become clowns, we are good. Unless…… one of them gets a pet monkey. Okay, monkeys, clowns, and monkey-owning clowns are out, but I can deal with anything else.

The countdown is on. I have less then 3 weeks before we leave on our next Great American Road Trip to Disney World and even less time to get Sissy ready for her class trip to D.C.

In preparation for all that, I spent Sunday engaging in that infamous children’s torture known as “trying on last summer’s clothes to see what fits”. Despite all the moaning and groaning we managed to get through it and I discovered J-Man has like 30 summer shirts and 2 pairs of shorts. Sissy needs a little of everything.

So what did I buy when we went to the mall yesterday? More shirts and only 1 pair of shorts for J-Man. Good planning. In my defense, the shirts were on sale and I had a coupon.

Last week I had a dream that I was on Dancing with the Stars and my partner was none other than Carson Kressley. Seriously? Does that mean Carson is my dream man? Not that he doesn’t seem like a nice guy and all but you’d think in my dreams my subconscious could’ve picked a dreamier kind of guy. Then there’s the fact that I can’t dance, I’m not a star, and I’d break my ankle in those shoes!

I’m in the process of finding a new web host for our blog and I’m a little lot nervous about the whole thing. I’m imagining every single post, comment, and photo disappearing with one single click of a button. Plus, I’m not sure if I will lose all my email. I need to make the decision soon, like today. If we disappear in the next few days, we’ll be back, just maybe starting from scratch.

Don’t forget to join us for What the He’ll Wednesday tomorrow, if we are here!
