How much can happen in 2 months???
I’ve really missed blogging & getting comments from my readers… which is what i really need right now, feedback…
So the last couple of months here’s what’s been going on -
- Soccer Season came and went (almost)
- I got written up at work – for stupid shit. (and I do mean stupid – like need to say Good Morning, Smile more, Visit w/ people at their desk)
- Looked for a job. Still can’t find anything.
- Daycare deposited postdated check and overdrafted my account – twice.
- Gained some weight.
- Hurricane Ike came and went – Destroyed fence between us and neighbor. It’s still not replaced.
- Our wonderful Pit bull, Budda died – we think he was poisoned.
- Had a miscarriage – took no time off work because I was too worried about being written up.
- Had a breakdown at work.
- Nailed interview. Said I was ideal. Two days later got a call they are having a hiring freeze.
- Found out my blood pressure is “elevated”. Given Meds.
- Daycare charged $200 registration – it’s still not paid.
- Broke out in severe acne. All over my face.
- Son lost only pair of glasses somewhere on the soccer field. Still not replaced.
- Rushed Hubby to ER due to partial paralysis in face. Turns out it was not a stroke but Bell’s palsy. Out $200 from visit and meds. (worth it, but still was money I didn’t have)
- Clipped the front corner of my car & ground effects and tore them up.
- The next day, while driving in the rain – a girl rear ended me and scraped my bumper.
- Hubby being sued by collection agency for old debt.
- Employed attorny to help us with lawsuit.
- Caught a bad flu, now have lingering brochitis.
- Haven’t cleaned house since I don’t know when. Clean clothes all over the place that need to be folded & hung.
- Haven’t been able to sleep more than a couple of hours a night. Everynight.
Athough these things seem to be small – they’ve been adding up. I’m feel upset and depressed – which is not a surprise. I’ve suffered from depression on and off since high school. But lately i’ve been very grouchy and seem to be on the verge of tears. Everytime I get a few bucks in my hand, they seem to fly right out of my hands. I feel like I’m treading water…
Bought it… now what?
So a couple of weeks ago I went ahead and purchased my .com – so now what? I guess I was all excited to buy it – then after words it struck me, duh!, it costs monthly to host … nice planning. Although it doesn’t cost much, I guess I didn’t think it through. Not a problem though, I know that some plans host multiple sites – and where my bil’s site is hosting from, I can add mine on. Only problem right now is that he doesn’t have the do whatever option on – he’s only paying for basic right now. I’ll have to hurry up and get his “custom” website up and ready to go so he can change his otpion to allow coding for customizing and not just using their pre-made templates.
Have to be hotter than .. er.. her!
Although today was a Friday, I telecommuted because my car wouldn’t start. I have no idea why. I have an auto off feature for my headlights so who knows. The hubby is gonna take the battery in tomorrow – so pray for us. Getting back to my story – I’m not a big Oprah fan but today I was flipping channels and saw her episode of Transgendered Families. The show was about Dad’s who had decided to change to women. Now I’m all for do what makes you happy, but I will say if I was going to be on national tv with my man now turned woman – I would definitely have to be hotter than him.
The wife
The husband
Damn! Take some makeup tips from your hubby!
One more time!
My brother called a couple of days ago to tell me he’ll be coming home again – one more time before his deployment. This time over Labor Day weekend. I’m happy to know I’ll get to see him again. He’s already missing his wife and baby! My boss has been accommodating and given me the Friday before Labor Day off (the day he flies in). The Tues after Labor Day I may have to telecommute, normally my day is Wed for telecommute, but I’m gonna see if the other girl will trade me. We’ll see…
Much needed vacation…
I know it’s been a bit since I’ve posted… but I took 2 wks and a day off from work. During that time, I was happy to visit with my brother, his wife and baby. He’s in the military & they drove here from Cali. He moved them home while he will be going back then deployed to the Middle East. (please pray for his safe return.) We hadn’t seen the baby (or them) since December… so it was nice to see how much the baby’s grown. He’s 9 mos now! So we hung out at my mom’s, went out to dinner, bbq’d at the pool and partied at a local nightclub. That was nice because it’s been a long time since my and the man have gone out. We had a large group with us!… me and my hubby, my hubby’s brother’s, their wives, my hubby’s sister, my bro and his wife, my SIL’s brother and his girlfriend. Not to mention a couple of friends and their groups we ran into. Everyone drank grey goose with cranberry juice but for me, the drink of the night was crown and coke, of course! Anyhow – the music was great! Here’s how the table looked at the end of the night!…
Flea Free!
No kidding! Only took 2 weeks and less than $20!!!! Woohoo!
After putting down the borax/salt mix, waiting, vacuuming – then repeating several more times…. We are flea free! I won’t lie though – getting that borax out of the couch was a bitch! Lots of hitting & vacuuming. But none the less Borax/salt did dehydrate all them little bast-cough-buggers. So I’m a happy girl!
“Hello?…CPS?”
This week has been crazy hectic. It just flew by. But I feel *SUPER* guilty. and I can’t believe I did it…
On Wed, I got up as usual – late. Showered, Ironed clothes, woke up the kids and dried my hair. I happened to check the calendar and realized that my son had a field trip schedule to go to the zoo. I mentioned it do my hubby and he says “Oh yeah, he needs a sack lunch”. Dammit! Of course I have nothing to send for lunch. So dad packs a standard bologna & cheese sandwich and a baggie of grapes. I have to run to the store for chips and drink. I have less than 30 minutes to go from store to drop kids and make it across town to work. After leaving the store, I grab what I bought and throw it in a large ziploc. Presto – sack lunch! I haul-ass to drop the kids. As I’m leaving them at daycare, my daughter says “I’m just wondering about breakfast?” Dammit twice! I know I gave her that blank wtf look. Luckily, the Asst Director took control and ushered them to the kitchen and I was able to go back to my hauling ass to work. I wonder how many other mom’s have forgetten to feed their kid? Oh well – they ate after all and that’s all that counts.
I’m so great!

Comfort, the plan and window shopping
So let me update you: I’ve been spending a lot more time hanging out with the in-laws, especially the bil’s. I have come to get to know them well and I think they now feel comfortable around me. Which is a good thing. Aside from that – things are going downhill like an avalanche at work. The NEW “plan” is dissolving 2 positions by the end of summer. Basically moving to a full call center! – where the tech answers the phone and fixes the issue right then and there. That SO sucks. Were not just talking – my Word won’t do such and such… we are talking ANY issue. WTH! I am trying to move ahead, not go back to basic “geeksquad” support! In the meantime, I have been “window shopping” jobs and have had very little luck with the economy so tight right now, very few people are job hunting and the # of positions are few and far between. Between Gas prices and Summer Daycare… well, let’s not talk about it.
She’s a Brick House!!!
In about 2 wks, The Man and I plan to go to a birthday party for his boss. It’s going to be at a Cigar Bar/Lounge… a “real” grown up place. Of course, I have nothing to wear. What does one wear to this type of place? I decided to online window shop and fell in love.
This dress is killer:
The description reads: She’s a brickkkkkkkkkkkk-HOUSE!!! The “Nelli” signature dress showcases what having your curves is all about, pure sex appeal.
I’m all over that! But why?…Why?… WHY???!!! Does it cost $268! We’re talking Rayon Lycra Jersey here people! Seems like everything I like costs my left kidney and my next born.
