I've never actually wished death upon someone...

I've never come right out and said, "I wish he would die" before, but for the first time yesterday I said it would be better if he did... or if any of the three did.

Bad things come in threes, right? My dad, my stepdad, and my brother. *They all have their own sweet little clickable links. They've all had some sort of purpose to serve but that purpose is long gone and now all they give to this world is danger and pain.

Like I said, I won't come right out and wish it, but dammit all if it wouldn't be better.

I've written extensively about the Dickface Trifecta on BlogHer and how they've affected me and tortured my mom, and many have enquired about her view of it all. After all, it all began with her long before I was born.

She's finally had enough and is stepping out into the light to see what she can find here. BlogHer has given me a voice that I wouldn't have had otherwise and I've suggested using that space for her journal. I'm hoping the large community of abuse victims there will embrace her, encourage her, and lead her further out of the dark.

Please visit her. Support her. Share her. Let's build her a virtual village.

Is My Spouse Verbally Abusive and Controlling?

The journey to talk to my dad...

... has come to its end. Due to some unbelievable events I will not be tracking him down, I will be venturing elsewhere, and I won't be blogging about it here anymore. Things have gotten a little too serious for Athena Bee's. I'll be taking it over to my other blog where you can CHOOSE to read about this, not have it forced upon you and thus not enjoying the Bee anymore.

My first entry was today. Nothing big. Just my announcement about the move.

Love, peace, and hair grease y'all.

Sunday Sharing - food, blogs, and shopping

There are some things that I'm enjoying more than usual today, and what kind of friend would I be if I didn't share?

First off, Food.
Just because Zofia only let me get about 3 hours sleep doesn't mean Athena isn't expecting me to bake something yummy for breakfast. Enter these little gems:

 Tastefully Simple Oats & Cranberry Bars.

SO tasty, and I used eggs from my mom's chickens and organic butter to make myself feel better :)

Next up, Blogs. Deal Delivery Blog "Your one stop destination for the latest freebies, deals, sweepstakes and more on the web." It's all the coupon codes and free samples you WANT to look for but just never get around to searching for yourself. For example, I KNOW it's a pain to enter all the Pampers and Huggies codes into their sites, but have you browsed their rewards? This is how I did all of my Christmas cards, photo packages, and calendars. The quality of goods they offer as rewards are AWESOME. She has tons of codes listed on her site that you can use. Awesome.

 

And Shopping. For some reason when I'm sad and sleep deprived, I LOVE online shopping. I'm fairly certain there's an 8x10 glossy of me in a heart shaped frame at Amazon.com and Old Navy headquarters.

 

Give & Get Ends Today! (You can see the online code or print the instore bar code here.)

Last chance to get 30% off at Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Gap Outlet and Banana Republic Factory Store in-store or online.

For me:

Athena picked this out for herself:
 

And Athena picked this out for Fifi:

*Note: I LOVE Old Navy's sleepers for babies. They actually have ZIPPERS. Does someone somewhere get off on torturing me with 500 buttons on a squirmy baby's outfit? Come on now...  
And there you have. That seems to sum up this Sunday quite nicely.
 
**Another note: No one is paying me or giving me stuff to make me tell you this stuff rocks. I just really think that all of this stuff does, in fact, rock.

Oh, how I want this wrap. Isn't it lovely? Wouldn't Zofia and I look fantastic using it?

Oh my gosh, I laughed and laughed...

... and then when someone fell in the KY Jelly, I laughed so hard Louis asked what was wrong with me.

Barefoot Foodie
Sometimes God has a plan. A plan that may or may not include me getting to see New Moon in a timely manner.

If you don't read her blog, you are missing out on some pants-peeing stuff (and not just from new baby incontinence.)

In case you ever need a fix or update...

I don't recall if I've mentioned this or not, but I moved Athena's baby site to blogger because I ran out of memory space on babysites.com.

So now Athena has her very own blog so everyone in the world can be kept abreast of Athena's goings on.

You're welcome.
