bee and rose

Let's start this freakin' fabulous Friday with funky feet... specifically Chilly's funky feet... Funky feet have landed him a fabulous four day stay (or longer) at the fantastic hospital! Can you give me a woot woot?!? That's right,family & friends! Chilly is chillin' at the hospital as we speak! Yesterday was a flippin' fun day for me and the kiddos! We started our day out with friends at the zoo. I received a call from the Chillmeister that he was in the ER and was about to be admitted due to a blister that became a ridiculously large diabetic ulcer on the bottom of his foot. (Keep in mind he's recovering from a broken leg too...) Apparently, the "ulcer" has created conditions that could cause him to lose his foot (or worse, his life! He can't do anything without a little drama, you know...) So, just when I thought my life was returning to a bit of normalcy, BAM! Here we go again! The best part? He didn't even feel this feste...

Ahhh…the bliss of the blog….I’ve missed Blogland and it's lovely citizens…I realize it was only a few days in “real” life, but it certainly felt longer! I was lucky enough to post most days, but it's no fun if you can't stalk your fellow bloggers. When I add in all the time during April that I have been unable to blog because of the horrendous computer crash of April 7th, Chilly's heart failure (in a scary..kind of repeat of last year way) the Sunday before my giveaway winners were announced, and now Chilly’s impending knee surgery due to his fabulous stunt moves on Sunday…it feels like I’ve been gone from Blog for years! So what happened to turn Chilly into Gimpy McGimpster? A fall from plummeting blood pressure that resulted in a broken tibia, femur and knee cap! Chilly never does anything half-assed! No sir-ee! If he's going to injure himself, it's gonna be a big injury! Oh, did I mention how delighted I am to be driving Gimpy McGimpster to work every morning...

NOT ME Monday is brought to you by the fabulous MckMama over at My Charming Kids . Please send your well wishes for her wee Stellan. He needs our love and prayers. Thanks! I did NOT curl up and rock back and forth sucking my thumb in a dark corner for hours last week because of the stupid surge that sent my laptop to the Geek Squad hospital during my MONSTER giveaway. I would NOT act like such a baby. Also, I did NOT cry so hard on Tuesday (and Wednesday) that my right eye was actually swollen shut for a while. I would NOT be so emotional over a computer. My son did NOT tell me I was EMO because I did NOT wear black all week and act depressed. I did NOT stand in the middle of my yard shaking my fist to the heavens and yell (in my Scarlett O'Hara voice) "As God as my witness, I will never be laptop free again!" I also did NOT roll around in agony in my yard screaming.."WHY? WHY? WHY is this crap happening to me!!!!???? Why this week????"" I did NOT feel HO...

Friday Fragments brought to you by Half Past Kissin' Time ! I told Chilly last night that it was time for me to get my hair done. He just stared at me. I say it once more with feeling. More staring. Then I understand what is going through his pea-size brain. He is trying to figure out how he can get a new mistress, Flat Screen TV 2 to move in here! (in case you missed it, a power surge took out our flat screen, laptop and XB360 on Tuesday.) After more staring, he finally says “We ask that you bear with us during this difficult transition.” WHAT? He's using his "skip tracer/ banker" talk on me! Then I realize he’s making a desperate attempt to plea for his new mistress, Flat Screen 2. I laugh like a maniac because I control the finances. “NO FLAT SCREEN FOR YOU!” I yell in my Soup Nazi voice. He hides under the covers. Maniacal laughing continues….(Don't worry, hair...I won't let that stupid Flat Screen chick get in here before you are drenched in lovely carm...

Hello, my sweet friends.... Things are very sad at the Bee and Rose today.... We had a disaster of EPIC proportions here yesterday (Tuesday) and I am still trying to recover! At approx. 3:00 pm MST, my precious laptop, my son's best friend XB360, and my husband's mistress, Big Flat Screen TV were all critically injured in a malicious power surge. Yep, you heard me....MY COMPUTER CRASHED, XB360 BIT IT AND THE FLAT SCREEN TV DIED!!! Apparently, my new friend, Migraine, was just the beginning of my huge SUCKFEST! I immediately got these out and started waving them around... Some of you may remember these little friends of mine... Fortunately, the AWESOME folks at Microsoft helped us to bring XB360 back to life...THANK GOD! Tween Caveboy nearly had a stroke at age 12! The jury is still out on my husband's mistress, Flat Screen TV. We are searching for a specialist to help her. I know he's ready to ditch her for a new, younger (larger) model, but tough cookies, Chilly! The...
