Wednesday, August 08, 2007 Made it Again!

Hey there, guess who managed to make it back before another month passed?

Me!!

Ok, ok, I know, what a dweeb, but oh well. I don’t care what I sound like. Heehee!

So, what’s been up Blogger Buds? Guess what? I got news on that ‘keeping your fingers crossed’ issue.

I applied for an assistant manager’s position at our store, and it would have been for 3rd shift, but I never heard anything about it until yesterday. I didn’t get it, but I’ve been offered a managers position at another store for the same company. I’m taking the position. I am so damn syked. I love it. My boss recommended me. THAT makes me feel damn good. So, now we’ll have the same boss. It’s cool. Hopefully I do a good job and they like me. It’s more money, and that is of course a definite bonus.

I’m watching my Spawn try to lick the applesauce jar. She looks funny.

Anyways, that’s what’s new in my world. The hours are first shift, 5-1 and then I work every other Saturday. So every other week I will work 48 hours. Not too bad. I wanted more hours, and well I got them.

So nothing much else is new, so I gotta run. Later, much luv

Oh P.S.......... Isn’t this man totally dreamy!!???

Wednesday, August 01, 2007 Hey Hey Hey!!!!!!!

Well My God, has it ever been awhile!

I’m thinking getting a job has put a major fucking kink in all my joyous habits. I am so damn behind here, and it’s just driving me insane. I love the job, being a gas station attendant is pleasurable for me, but I know to some of you that have ‘real’ jobs it’s nothing special. But of course if you didn’t have people like me, where the hell would you find your joyful morning fix as you stop for a donut, or coffee, or even (yes I know) the ever priced so high gas. But as you walk in, there I am, smiling because I’m so happy to see your “Oh So Cheerful” faces every morning.

I’ve got quite the little fan crew going on in the wee hours of the morning. And I learn shit too! Like I didn’t know janitors (for the schools) get up at 2am to go to work. There are few nutcases that come to see me, but, they can’t help it. I do love seeing everyone, and it is fun. I make food too.

There is so much that has happened in the last what, oh month. I’m going to start selling adult toys, (I’m so excited). I’m waiting on the shit to get here. I can’t wait. I love this stuff. And the parties are a fucking blast. I can’t wait to do my first party. I wonder if I’ll be nervous. I think I will be for awhile, but I think I’ll soon just be having fun.

I decided to go ahead and keep the Spawn in 2nd grade for another year, which come to speak of school, that starts the 17th here. My poor baby, she’s so not ready for school. “Drama Queen” herself told me, and I quote, “I’ll rather die, then go back to school.” Mama here can’t wait for school to begin. At least then I’ll be able to sleep during the damn day with no interruptions. I swear, I can’t get 2 hours in without her or B needing me for some reason. I think the last 2 months I’ve averaged maybe 30 hours of sleep. I told the Man that I needed to buy stock in the ‘Stacker 2’ market. I swear, I take 2 a day, and I’m good to go. Well and I also drink 2 pots of coffee or more a day, so I guess you could say I’m pretty frickin wired. See why I can’t wait for school to start?

There’s something in the works right now, and I don’t wanna say a hole lot, because then of course I’d jinx my damn self, but I’ll say this, “KEEP YOUR FUCKING FINGERS CROSSED, PLEASE!!! Oh, and no, I’m not pregnant.

I had the pleasure of having the Spawn and her little friend over the other day, and her friends little cousin, (whom just showed up out of nowhere) and I listened to one of their conversations. It was a little like going back in time. It’s nice to know not everything has changed. They still do the “Jinx, no talking til you here the word ‘gofer’” They did that to that boy (the friends cousin) I don’t know how many times. Plus they made him chase after them while they drove around in the go-cart. Apparently he has a slight ‘crush’ on the Spawn, so he was ‘okay’ with trying to catch them. NOT ME! I took the little shit (my Spawn) aside and told her to be nice, and let him drive the go-cart for awhile and they could chase him around. She’s like, “Mom, he wants to chase us!”

Me- “Whatever, don’t try to tell me that.”

Spawn- “No, he really does. He can’t reach the pedals, and he doesn’t wanna ride with me or her.”

I don’t believe her, so I make them let him drive. This kid freaked out! He started crying, and just kept saying over and over, “I can’t, I can’t.” I thought he was gonna hyper-ventilate. Well, I let them go back to the way they were doing it, and damned if he didn’t prefer it that way. Kids!

B spent a week and a half in the hospital with a form of ‘colitis’ this past month. Treatment for it is like treating an ulcer. He managed to stay on the diet the doctors put him on for like 3 days, then he was right back to the same shit before. I told him if he ended up back in the hospital, I was personally gonna make the doctors do a ‘colonoscopy’ on him, and do while he’s awake. The rotten ass.

The Man and I are getting along pretty decently, as we haven’t had any major fights lately. Knock on wood. I guess I’m waiting for it to fall apart again, or maybe we just got past that 7th year thing. I don’t know. Hopefully it’ll stick and we can manage to make it work forever. He wants to get rid of all his roosters and hens now. After all the hoopla and crap that I’ve had to do with them, he wants to get rid of them.

Let’s see, theres more I have to say, but I’m feeling the tiredness creeping up, so I’m gonna have to run now. Later………………much luv

Sunday, June 10, 2007 Crappy Attitude


Hello there my fellow Bloggers.

Today has been a long day, well actually this week has been very long. I can’t say what it is that has me in a funk, but, I am in a very bitchy mood. I’m short with everyone in my family today.

You’d think I’d be in a decent mood having had a weekend to myself, (even tho I did have to work) but appearantly it didn’t do anything for me. I feel pissed at the world right now, and I don’t know why. I hate feeling this way, and I have to make a conscience effort to not be a bag. When really all I really wanna do is scream at everyone to leave me the hell alone.

The Spawn went to her Dad’s this weekend, came home, and I’ve been short with her, and she hasn’t been more annoying then usual, but I can’t seem to stop bitching bout things. The Man got home this evening and I wanted to have some time with him, but that didn’t happen. I hope that I wake up tomorrow morning in a better mood. This shitty attitude of mine of sucks ass big time.

I’m putting in some pics of the first fishing trip the Man and the Spawn did this past week. They took the boat out, and B went with them. They didn’t catch any, but they had a good time. Hope everyone else is happy and that you all have a good week.

Sunday, June 03, 2007 nothing new

Well hello there Guys. Whats been shaken? I’ve been busy, busy this week. Got back on Monday last week and dove back into work. I’ve worked the whole week until today. It’s been hectic and rough. But it was a nice weekend with my sister and no drama. Thank God.

I hate going and having to deal with stupid bullshit because people don’t know how to Not start shit. I love my family there, I really do, but my god, they are always pissed off at someone, and talking about them. I don’t know how anyone can be happy with that mentality all the time. It would grate on my nerves and make me want to kill something. I can get mad, and 5 minutes later be fine. It takes a lot to get me so mad to the point that I’m holding a grudge for eons. No way, what a miserable existence.

I have a couple days off for now, and will use those days to get caught back up on house work. My niece bless her heart, doesn’t keep things in order, so nothing gets picked up, or dishes don’t get washed. Of course, the Man doesn’t do any of those things either and it’s left up to me, nothing new there. He’ll be home sometime tomorrow he thinks, and then he leaves again in a couple days. I have a little girl here who is sweet, and all, but good grief, she’s so damn busy and curious it’s almost irritating. Her Dad is a friend of the Man, but he’s not here, so he is down at my bro-in-laws, and he’s chatting away while his daughter is up here, driving me nuts. The Spawn is trying to watch a movie, and this little girl is right in her face asking her why she doesn’t wanna play. Over and over again. The Spawn is looking at me like, “Mother, do something!”

I hate to make light of this girls situation, but she lives with her Dad, and is an only child, and stays with her grandmother while Daddy’s at work. Poor thing, there is no one for her to play with. She’s stuck with Daddy (which is fine, she’s a Daddy’s girl) and her grandmother 24/7, and I imagine that it gets boring. So I’m sure that the last thing she wants to do when she comes over here is sit and watch a movie. Hell no, she’s all about playing.

The thing that pisses me off if that her Daddy doesn’t call first before he just stops over. It wouldn’t be so bad, but damn it, I worked 3rd shift lastnight and haven’t gotten more then 2 hours sleep, thanks to him. They’ve been here since 9:30. I am going to break something. The child is hungry ever 15 minutes, and then doesn’t eat what she asks for. I have yet to see her Dad. He’s gone somewhere with the brother and hasn’t returned since 12. The asshole. I’m pretty sure I won’t be to pleasant to him when he decides to leave. I’m thinking maybe I’ll leave here shortly. Just to get the hell away from here for awhile.

So that’s whats been up with me. see, your not missing much. I gotta go, the kid is on my nerves. I’m leaving. Later…………much luv

Wednesday, May 23, 2007 way off

Man on man, has it been awhile. Things have just had a way of getting away from me, and it’s taken me a bit to get them under control. As you know, I’ve been working, still on the same 2 days 1rst, 3 days 3rd, and it does, it fucks with the sleep. But, I get this whole weekend off starting after Thursday night until Monday. Then I have to work the rest of the week and the weekend. Whoo-hoo, fun for me.

I’m taking a little vacation to Ohio, and it’s going to be fun. My little bro is home for college for the summer, and he’s going to go with me and the Spawn. The Man is back on the road (again), he’s in WV working his ass off. I miss him. I did the zoo thing with my Spawn’s class, that was a load of fun. Our zoo here isn’t the greatest, but it’s ok. The Spawn wants to spend the summer with her aunt, and I think she should stay here and get tutored.

We’ve got probs with the reading again. Her teacher thinks she should repeat the 2nd grade. At first I was all for it, (anything as long as it helps her) and then I’ve talked to a few other people who have been told that their children needed held back and they didn’t, and it worked out for them. Then one that held her child back and they made it through the next year fine, and then this year they told her she needed to be held back again, and that it’s had a really negative effect on her kid. I would think so.

I don’t want to do anything that isn’t in my kid’s best interest, so now I’m totally confused. Should I go ahead send her on to the 3rd grade and hire a private tutor to help with the reading, or hold her back and maybe ruin her self-confidence? I don’t know. My mother thinks it would be a good idea to hold her back, and she is a teacher, a 2nd grade teacher. I do value her opinion as far as education goes, so maybe I should listen to her.

Another thing that kind of threw a red flag to me was, the Spawn’s teacher said that she had this year 7 kids repeating the 2nd grade this year, and they’re the top students in the class. What is it with the 2nd grade? My sister was like… “Shit, the 2nd grade must be harder the hell if 7 kids were retained last year.”

I don’t remember it being that hard, but then again, it has been 14-15 years ago. The Man was telling me that when he was in the 2nd grade, he was there for like the first nine weeks and they made him go back to the 1rst grade right then and there. Could you imagine? When he told me that, I laughed, but in a sad kind of way. That had to have been rather embarrassing for him, my poor baby.

That’s what I think every time I think of holding the Spawn back. God, she’ll have to make new friends, (not that that is hard for her) but then watch all her other friends move on without her. I can’t even contemplate what that will be like for her. Will it scar her more now, or later? Is it something she’ll forget later if I do it now? I don’t want her to feel overwhelmed next year though either, especially if she’s struggling as hard as she is now. And it’s all because she doesn’t read well. Damn it, I’ll have to think on it.

Ok, later guys, I’ll check you out in the morn. Much luv

Hey, it’s been a way long time. I’ve got a job and I’ve been working 3rd shift a lot lately, so I’m trying to get my sleep pattern going. I’ve been working 2 days 1st shift and then 3 days 3rd, so it’s been kinda weird. Happy Easter to all of you, since I seem to have missed it. Damn me!! The Man and I have been getting along pretty good lately. The Spawn managed to convince him to buy her some baby ducks, 3 to be exact. I’ve got some pictures included. The cat got into their box the night we got them and killed one of them, which led to a huge fight resulting in me having to take my cat to Mom and Dad’s for a while and him buying her 2 more ducks to replace the other one. But my cat is happily back at home now. Yay! She is so cute with her ducks though, she makes little quacking noises and they follow her around like she’s their mommy. At first, they’d only follow her if she crawled, so she would crawl everywhere and they would follow along behind her, but now they will follow her when she’s standing up and walking around. It’s absolutely adorable. And they peep non-stop, just like any other little baby bird and they love to swim in whatever they can get to.

Thursday, March 22, 2007 whats shaken

Hey there, so sorry that I’ve neglected my blog the last week or so. Things around here have been pretty decent, and busy. The Man and I have actually gotten along pretty decently the past couple weeks, but as soon as I say that, things will go to shit. Yesterday, we looked at cars, and he says he’s buying me a ford focus. Not a choice I would have picked, but, I can’t complain as I’ve had nothing but problems with my blazer since the day he got that. and it gets 40 miles per gallon, sooooooooo, I’m not bitching! Can we say Ohio trip here I come? Oh yes, I want to go so badly.

We also bought the Spawn a new bike, and she LOVES it. And I got a new printer, so I had to print out some shit and see just how good of quality it is. and it’s not too bad. I actually like it. The Man keeps making me print out pics of his roosters. What a freak. Oh well.

So, as things stand right now, we’re just enjoying eachother again. Being together, trying to be together and NOT fighting or bickering, has been kinda stressful, but also has its good points. Both of us have made an effort to not get crappy and shitty bout things. He got a tad bit cranky this afternoon, and I called him on it, and he’s tried to start arguments, but here lately when he does that, we both end up laughing. It’s been nice.

I just hope that they stay that way. But, if they don’t, they don’t, and we’re both aware that divorce is an option that we’re both ok with. (if that makes any damn sense).

Ok, I gotta run, later…………much luv.
