Which one is your fav?This is a story in pictures for your viewing pleasure ...
Brit on the deck, hiding under ThreeDollahChair... Daddy'o put a piece of bratwurst in front of her to lure her to the stairs.
Rotham learned to sit just about that fast too. Hims a good boy.
Some of you creepy stalkers readers have been blowin Madness email and MySpace up asking to see the freakin rae of sunshine that is Madness these days.
So here you have it stalkers readers. The new header is a quick snap I took with my beloved Cannon FancyPants KodakEasyShare C813. The only thing I did to the photo was add the coloring book effect. No colors have been photoshop'd because Madness doesnt know squat tart about photoshop.. so yeah, that really is the color of my eyes and yes my hair is orange and yellow no my hair isnt orange and yellow .. its fire.
And this is a quick shot that shows what it really looks like and yeah .. I kinda like it.
Madness makes no damn sense. (we all knew this, right?)
Madness decided she needed to lighten up her chocolate brown hair in order for it to take the burgundy dye. Madness tried the peroxide stripping agent, to no avail. So Madness got her some blonde blonde blonde dye and ... uh.. yeah..[ insert shit on yourself laughter here ]
Ha! Never fear dear reader .. Madness is no dummy ... chocolate brown + blonde blonde blonde + peroxide stripping agent = HAWT.
Yeah ... Madness' hair is F I R E. Think of an orange flame .. thats it.
Pics to come.
Hot. MmmHmm ... just ask MaxX.
Madness is packin it up and movin it down ... for reals.
Been talking for months about movin the MadLands back home to Florida.. it starts now.
Madness has a lead on a sweet condo ... and a few houses. Madness has been scurred shatless about moving 1100 miles away. ELEVEN HUNDRED MILES. But then Madness figured .. there is here and here is there and then that there is there and here so... fuck it .. we're UP.
Yes..Madness knows youre here.. so she thought she'd say "Hi!"
Dont be shy ... say something .. dare ya.
Why oh Why is madness so ornery tooo-day?
Madness hauled kids from here to there and there then there and back again today..
blah blah blah...
Madness found her Norah Jones CD ... and guess what ya'll .. playing Norah Jones in the MommaMobile *calmed the beasts* settled the children .. to a degree... and Madness too .. uh, yeah.
So Madness has binged and now purged and rearranged the music in her life.. because the music does not lie and right now Madness needs some truth that isnt going to send her straight.off.that.there.bridge.
Big Things, you say?
Yeah..Big Things.
MaxX and Sir Rotham had another training day .. yeah.. Madness has failed to keep ya'll up.to.date. on her pups .. (stay tuned)
Training Day One : MaxX taught Sir Rotham to hop down the deck stairs... with the help of grilled bratwurst.. ha! Rotham loves him some treats.
Training Day Two : MaxX teaches Sir Rotham Mathias to Sit on command.
Whose a good boy? Rothams a good boy!
Oh, Brit? Yeah .. Brit is hard headed. Brit cant stay focused or still long enough to learn much of anything just yet... she's gonna take more time and attention. Rotham is so laid back at attentive he's having no problem learning all his puppy stuff.
Madness' pups are getting so big *sigh* soooo big.
Good Morning stalkers readers ...
Madness has been MIA for a few days .. big things happening around the MadLands .. BIG things.
What things you ask? Oh.. a little of this and a little of that. Yep, some of that too.
To all my friends at SBO who are reading "Hi, Hello! I miss you!"
With any luck Madness will be back tonight and will give you something worth reading.
With.any.luck.
Ok, love you, bye.
Madness
Madness is gonna leave that one alone and reflect on Daddy'oDay at the MadLands ... you can thank me later.
Daddy'oDay in the MadLands started in the wheeee hours of the morning ... MaxX and Me out on the deck watchin our two babiest of babies chase each other around the back yard... silly pups. Poor Rotham tries so hard to keep up with his big sister BritBrit... but baby brother Rotham is a much bigger boy and just doesnt have the speed and agility that Brit has. She runs his butt all over the place.
Madness *slept in* on Daddy'ODay .. MmmHmm.. she did... at Daddy'o's request. Im'a leave that alone for now too.
Madness awoke to a beautiful bright sunny warm day ... the grill was hot and the air filled with the flavor of BBQ. Laundry on the line blowing in the breeze .. kiddies putting finishing touches on glittery tokens of daughterly love for the DaddyMan.
Oh yeah, Madness almost forgot, this is early summer in the MidWest.. Ha! Storm rolled in ... lightening..thunder..cold heavy rain .. HAIL .. finish BBQing in the rain .. eh, that was kinda cool.
MadTheatre on Daddy'oDay... Stand By Me ... oh yeah.
Daddy schooled the kiddies on a cinematic classic.. and Madness was all "is this mothers day or somethin?"
The scent of Old Books and Ninja Monkies.
Photos of MaxX grilling in the rain ... coaxing puppies with bratwurst to walk down deck stairs and MaxX gettin MadLove from the wee ones coming soon .. KodakEasyShare is acting Janky at the moment. *snicker*
Have you ever felt like you literally need to hide from the world?
Do you know that you surely will NOT continue to breathe if you dont run and hide?
If youve ever damn near lost it and actually felt like you were gonna break then you know what Im talkin about.
Thing is .. Madness feels that way all.the.time.
And when you literally feel like you are going to break at every joint and cease breathing all.the.time you get to points where you panic.
I said "get to points" because if you recall .. the panic is constant.
You cant quiet a beast for long.
Sometimes I can get a grip on it all and stand somewhat steady .. but the beast always comes back and threatens total breakdown.
When the panic sets in ... the fucker sits down in 'rational thoughts' seat.
And sometimes .. thats how Madness does shit.
Oh my.
What should have been a 7 day period was only 3.
SuperWhackedOutRagingEmotionalBlubberingMess.
PIMPLES on my face (note: Madness didnt even have acne in HighSchool!)
Two sunami size waves of heat and nausea resulting in vomit in as many days.
DONT touch my boobs!
Oh my.
Failed tubal ligation .. or mania mixed with stomach bug?
Oh my.
~Six year old daughter: "Momma, can I have a popsicle for juice?"
~Madness: "No, eat your dinner"
*Six year old daughter rubbing her tummy*
*Madness notices the letters BELY written on six year old daughters tummy*
~Madness: "Who wrote BELY on your tummy"
~Six year old daughter: "*giggle* I did"
~Madness: "Dork. 'Belly' has two L's. Eat your dinner"
~Six year old daughter: "Two L's .. gotcha .. thanks"
Today is the 16th birthday of yours that we have had together. We've come a long way from your 21st birthday spent in Aarons apartment ... So many years have gone by .. so fast.
I remember the moment I first saw you as clearly as if it were yesterday... standing in the arcade.. schoolin em all, MrBigMan.
So many people have learned the hard way...many more still yet to learn... that going head to head with MaxX is certain defeat. Ive always loved that about you... standing back and watching you claim victory after victory, with ease. Your soul feeds on the thrill of the extreme .. your spirit always driving for more, only relenting when your body rests.
The first day we met I fell in love with the way you protect that which you love. Because of you I dont know fear of the world, for I have always stood at my place under your watchful eye. Youre the reason I have no fear in my soul .. you've always protected me and defended me as you would the heart that pumps the blood through your veins.
There are loads of people out there who have seen you interact with a child .. those that have seen this have no doubt noted your gentle compassion .. few know as intimately as I do just how genuine and compassionate the love you have for a child really is. I was the one lucky enough to be the mother of your own.
I love the way you look at me, your eyes plead with me to feel the love in your heart. I love the way you say my name .. with the same tenderness as a kiss placed on a newborn babes nose.
We've been married for ten of these last 16 years and I still tingle when I hear you speaking to someone and you say "my wife". I love (and hate) the way you lean in just close enough so that I am sure to smell your skin when Im angry. You know that your scent is a drug I just cant resist.
I love that you adore every piece of me ... I love how I can make you say please and thank you.
I love that you'll stumble around the room in the dark looking for pants so you can go downstairs for the eighth time tonight to check out the noise that I.Know.I.Heard and you never complain. Every time you go, you come back to bed and wrap me back up in your arms and tell me to kick you harder next time I hear something. That is Love.
I love that youve handled each and every loose and lost tooth because your wussy wifey cant even talk about loose teeth without needing to be revived by defibrilator. (Dont worry, Danny was standing by after I typed that last bit and everything is fine .. he's a champ at CPR!)
I love the way you know everything there is to know about anything, and the way you share all that you know with the babies. I love the talent you have seeping from your soul and the desire burning in your heart.
For your 30th birthday I threw you a party with friends and family. Your cake said "Happy Birthday You Old Goat" and you didnt like that. I will apologize now, babe. I was wrong. I never should have put that on your 30th Birthday cake. You werent an old goat ...
But you ARE NOW!!
Happy Birthday Baby!
All my love now and every tomorrow,
Wife
The MadLands have moved .. for now .. we'll see how this works out.

Well.. click here and go see what Dooce was up to last night... and TELL ME Dooce hasnt been skipping around the MadLands recently.. yes, yes.. see the DooceTracks?
Ahhh.. Dooce and Madness are tight like that.
