random babbling from a tired soul

yes peeps-- i know i'm lally-gaggin..
who the hell came up with that word anyhow?
or shenanigans, for that matter?
kids today prolly think anybody who uses either of them oughtta be locked up!
perhaps that is why i like to use them :))
no, not to be locked up-- just for the reaction from my kid-- or her friends.. i think it's fun!

anyhow--
seems i was wrong, in thinkin that my life would slow down and get more chill when school started--very wrong.

two or three weeks before , and now-- only the second day into school... it seems i'm runnin around like a chicken with my head cut off. (nope-- i have never really seen that-- have you?)
but it has been a crazy, hurried , not enough time - month or so. it's just keelin me.

i'm hopin to be caught up on everything soon.
it may be a couple days-- but hopefully not much more than that.

i know i've said it a few times--- but this has really been a rough summer. not the entire summer... but on average? yep-- pret-teeeee bad overall. in more ways than one.
lots of areas to work on in getting a lot of situations back how they need to be. but-- it didn't get this way overnight-- i don't expect it will change overnight either. wish it would though.
but don't we all?

so--- for starters--- i think we will begin with going in debt-- which seems to be one of my main concerns lately. but isn't it always??? why don't i just accept the fact that the whole world has some type of debt-- and just deal with it? ugh.
so anyhow-- that's step one--

my nephew.. is going to come out and stay with my child for a few days-- so we can go to vegas , and meet with jamie and her family out there . woo hoo !!!

i was worried about soulkid not having a place to stay-- or having to send her to arkansas to my sis-- but missing school this early in the year, is just not an option. so yippee-- we get to go !!

i bought his plane ticket last night online-- you won't believe how much it cost. go ahead-- take a wild guess---- if i was smart-- but i'm not-- i would have said-- oh hell no-- we won't go... but i didn't do that. i bought it anyhow. it'll be ok. long story -- but it'll work out in the end-- anyhow
his ticket costed--- $ 333. (and some change) ---

well-- jamie seems to think 333 is my -- or A -- lucky number-- since it seems to come up so often... so-- i'm pretty curious as to how much mine and soulmans tix are gonna cost-- last time i looked they were 3-somethin... but not 333.

so- if they end up 333--or we end up in room 333 or flight 333 or some other weird thing--- you know i'll be bettin on 3's the whole time i'm there !!!

ok.... let's move on, shall we?

aside from school, and travel stuff...
hmmm...
mainly just tryin to get caught up around the house..and other things that i've let slide for the passed couple months. it's a slow go-- but it'll get done-- sooner or later. we have decided to devote labor day weekend to ALL of us workin on the house. from cleaning up-- to the minor fixer upper stuff.
and -- in a couple months it will be cool enough to have my yard sale, so we'll have to get started on sortin through stuff. and by doing that-- we hope to be able to get rid of our storage bin-where we park the boat. cuz without the garage full of crap--it should hold the boat. ahhh-- i hope so.

well.. i think i just realized that this is a pretty boring post.
that , or i'm just tired--- i am dozin off in my chair. ugh. so much for finishing todays "list" -- looks like nap time! and i don't have to feel guilty about it today-- cuz no one will know about it LOL-- well.. cept y'all. :))-- and i don't even have to tell you about all of em. hahahah.
but i usually do. y'all don't think i'm ignorin you if i take a nap tho-- these two do. well, and smocha :))

so anyhow--- that's my day-- or month-- so far.
i'll be back.


ps-- ever live with a dog that had food poisoning?
it is NO fun at ALL.
yes , i speak of eevee.
OMG. bad chicken.. including bones, from the trash... equals two days of -- well... you name it-- we got it.
and yep-- she will be boarded when my nephew is here. she is too unpredictable for anyone to be left alone with.
but sushi will stay-and the cats will. they'll be easy to love.

so-- again.. i'm outta heah-

Poor puppy!

And I agree with Jamie, you should use 333 as a lucky number. It's gotta be at this point!

Hoping things get better....

CRUSTY MOM-E said...

seriously and most definitely bet on 333 at the time out in LV of 333 but if there's a time difference include that too.

I like the name whippersnappers---and "give you something to cry about" I dunno.

Are you zzzzing?
If so, I'm glad and I'll quietly head on outta here so I don't wake you up!

Rio has fabulous odds out in Vegas--

and being in debt sucks...forget about the word debt, I guess the word Struggling is almost even worse because when you say debt there's a silver lining with getting out of it versus struggling, it sounds more, permanent.

we're struggling and it's challenging because I still sign the boys up for soccer practice and actually-thats it for the fall..but I know what you mean about money and bills and don't forget medical--YUCK! (or dental)

zzz, I leave quietly.
shshsh, don't wake the Soul!
Me

Smocha said...

Mary said...

Look out Vegas - here they come. Wahoooo!! You'll have so much fun. Jamie and Soul on the loose in Vegas can only spell laughs and wild stories. Hope You share with all the people stuck in boring lives - hint.

With the work needing to be done here we may not do a vacay this year. It's not a matter of $$ - there just isn't time. Beginning the 4th of October my world is always busy until after New Year. I have 5 b'day cakes to 'do' in October.

Now I'm blogging in your box - sorry.

Have a good evening and a night of perfect sleep with happy dreams of Vegas lights and casino winnings.

SOUL said...

hi everybody--
hope yall had good days and nice naps.
my day ended up busier than i expected-- so, i didn't get my nap :((
it's still early, but everyone is home and fed--so i'm hoping for early sleep tonight. suuure-like that'll happen.. but i'll try.

all tickets are bought and reservations settled etc-- so there's no turnin back now--
look out vegas! :))

mary-you can blog in my box any time---
oops-- that might sound a little odd to the wrong person. hmmm.

anyhow--- buy the cakes-- and go on vacation!!! go to vagas baby!!!

g'nite peeps

my child is sposed to ride the school bus tomorrow-- if she does i just may find time to post.
buuuuut--- i didn't find out where it is yet--- sooo-- umm.. my bad.
latah

Blur Ting said...

Good thing your nephew's coming over. It certainly solve alot of problems while you're away. At least the kid and animals do not have to go somewhere too.

rest well so that you can have a good time in Vegas!

SOUL said...

ya blur i knew i wouldn't be asleep early-- it's almost 930--and here i am... i bet i'll still be up at 12 -- what is my problem??

anyhow-- vegas isn't til october-- so i have time to catch up on sleep.
:))

SOUL said...

hey smocha--
i forgot to tell you bout eevee-- YES-- she IS "that bad".
just in the unpredictable ishness of her. i just don't want to put "england " in that situation-- like if the dogs got in a fight--- or if she bit a kid (cuz she always barks when they come over-- in fact almost every time the dogs have fought--was cuz she was stressed that some one was here-or leaving here) very weird.
last time was cuz of spot--- welll, unless ya count yesterday-- eevee had some damn fishin line down her throat-- i was tryin to take it out.. and i guess sushi thought she was gettin more attention, so sushi comes up behind her and started actin all bad-ass attackin her back--- grrrrr, and bitin her. that was real fun. hubby came in just in time to help me with them.ugh.
she's just a pain in the butt sometimes. and if ya don't know her-- or them.. it could get nasty. ya know.
so-- better safe than sorry i reckon.

anyhow-- i gotta TRY to go to sleep

goo-night

Jamie said...

So, it's now official, we will be retards in vegas...is it politically correct to call yourself (and your best friend) that? If not, i do apologize.

If you don't visit my page soon, I'm gonna cry. I am always here...you are NEVER there. :)

So, today is busy day for me. Soon, I'll go out and walk my already tired legs some more...and then it's working on the books. UGH---save me. I'll even come and do your dishes if you want.

Now, I'M blogging in your box.

Hugs and shit. LOL

xo

:)

SOUL said...

jamiieeeeeee---
i'm soooo
soooorrrreeeeYA!
i haven't been to anyones page lately--- at least i don't think i have.
i will get to yours TODAY.

yes you can call me-- or us "retards".. cuz i really think everyone knows you mean it in a rainman kinda kinda way--
vary twinkly very sparkly--
oh crap -- i forgot-- you don't watch movies. dammit.
it's so hard to for my one liners to be any fun with you-- since half of them are stolen from movies-- and you dont "get any of em". hmmmm.

speakin of movies-- did you make it thru "21" the other day??? if so-- what'd ya think??? we liked it. course we don't know nuthin bout birthin no "official" 21. so if you watched it-- you prolly picked up on all the -- "no way" type stuff.
but i hope you liked it if you invested your time in it.
ok-- welp-- i must go--
i could have posted, looked for you-- read your page-- or gps'd the school bus stop address in the time it took to talk to you here. hmmm.
instead?
i slept til 7 AGAIN.. and spent half an hour with you and sushi-- as usual.
so.. uhhh...
ya. who's cryin now?

it's gonna be me, when i drive the kid to school in my jammies-- again...like yesterday :)) :))
remember the pink sponge roller conversation? well picture me without the rollers-- but the hair immediately after removal of said ridiculous objects from head. :)) cut off fishy flannels, and a xxx t-shirt--- drivin to HIGH SCHOOL...
or better yet-- imagine my soulkids HORROR of being seen with such a creature-- bwa hahahahaha

happy humpday-
see ya later
holler at me
soon

Karen said...

This is good Soul. You have made some plans and that's half the battle and you're all booked for Vegas. Another thing to cross off the list. Don't you love it when you get to cross something off the list? Damn it's a good feeling.

Kepp smiling and the world smiles with you :)

SOUL said...

hi gypsy-- you psychic lady you--
ya snuck in while i was typin.
:))

i knowwww.. i bet you were gona scold me for lally gaggin too huh?
i'll catch up with you today too.

i'm sorry i'm fallin behind.
again.

i'll catch up--
i spent hours upon hours tryin to find our flights-- last night i was on one site-- actually bookin our reservations-- suddenly it stalls out-- when it comes back up--- it said "sorry you price has changed -- " it DID-- it went up over twenty bucks-- just as i was entering my info!!! i didnt know they could do that!
i said screw YOU-- so i left-- and spent another 20 minutes findin another place--
i swear man-- two days workin on this-- and the price of the tickets -- all went up like fourty or fifty bucks-- overnight-- and ours-- tried to go up like that in moments! ugh. but i got lucky-and got them, after only one price hike instead of two-- phew!

so anyhow-- i'm all distracted -- soulkid just left--and thank GOD her dad took her !

(he's been goin in to work at ten this week-- i thought it was just for a couple days-- i guess it's all week. no wonder i been sleepin late. weird. i bet if he was gone - i'd get up just out of instinct.--- isn't that weird?

well.. i better go-- get this party started.
it's gonna be time to head out before i know it--and this place will be a sty still-- and we can't have that.

years ago -- when my nephew was like -- oh, maybe 12 or 13-- he and his younger brother came to visit us-- and i had some awful dish stackage that i didn't have time to get to-- so i "hid em" in the BATHTUB !!! with plans of washing them there -- before the kids got in-- which didn't happen on time---
they showed up-- totally awestruck..
YOU HAVE DISHES IN YOUR BATHTUB????
it's still a bit of a runnin joke now.
"do you have dishes in your tub? (before they come out.
ugh. how humiliating.)
but anyways-- i was in a pretty bad depression funk at that time.
i'm pretty sure they understand (now)/ they didnt then.


anyhow-- i better get UP--
or at least busy.
so i shall see ya latah-
happy humpday

Smocha said...

ha ha , I forgot about the dishes in the tub thing. did he ask you that ,now? lol

Eevie sounds like a real peach. NOT!

don't forget to give England a note "authorizing medical treatment " for soulkid...just in case.

and lastly.....last night i was thinking about the 3;33 thing. you know what i think it is? just awareness about that number. just like when ever you get a new kind of car ...all of a sudden you see those cars everywhere. before, you had never noticed one.
Mystery solved. bwahaha !

love me

Smocha said...

oh..p.s. speaking of "one liners"

you can't belive how many people came to my blog yesterday just by searching for the line"your metaphor is digging into my cankles"

that is from one funny ass commercial:)

Anonymous said...

so glad nephew will be keeping kid..... enjoy yourself! When do you go? auntie j ps don't give auntie lou the idea of dirty dishes in tub --- she'll start doing that when kitchen cabinet, sinks and floor get full!

SOUL said...

smocha-
thanks--
would you believe that i have had so much on my mind lately i FORGOT about the medical note--- that is usually the FIRST thing that i think of! ugh.

and no-- he didn't ask this time --- about the dishes in the tub. i'da laughed. (unlike the last few years-- when i shrunk in humiliation and tears of shame.) :O

i LOVE the word CANKLES !!!!

i think it's time for me to do a -- what have people googled to find me search.
last time i did it-- i found
"soul magggots."
eeeeewwwwweeeeeee

the things people come up with eh?

anyhow--
i gotta get busy-- so's i can read blogs and catch up-- jamies gonna cry-- and we cannot have that--
besides-- i don't know what anybody else might do if i don't get to their page... if they don't cry-- they may just play the "you hate me don't you" card , and never come back .

i don't hate anyone-- i'm just busy-- and tired...

i love ALL my soul-peeps!!!.

SOUL said...

AJ--
first of all--
i don't think ML even reads here-- but if she does-- she's single-- and if her dishes get that bad-- hey , the bath tub is a great place to hide-- or wash a huge stackage of dishes.

luckily- i haven't had to do that since that one time-- but if i ever did get overwhelmed to that extent -- that's where i'd be doin em.
why not-- right?

anyhow--
why haven't you started your own blog yet???
it's easy enough-- i'm interested as to what your "theme " would be---

desert dirt diva said...

I'm so happy that your going, ur gonna have a friggin blast...hope all else works itself out for ya too sooon..

bonnie said...

threes sound like your winner. I've never seen a gagging lally but I might have seen a headless chicken in a movie or something. Does the blood squirt out the neck? Time to kill the curiosity on this one. Planning your vacation sounds like it's being a lot of fun. I'm glad I'm on break from vacations right now, but I wouldn't mind having a hammock in my back yard.

Cheryl said...

So glad your nephew's coming out to stay with soulkid. It will be worth every penny of the plane ticket. You get to go to Vegas! Go 333!

SOUL said...

it's after 9-- i gotta get my stuff done-- i'll get to you 3--and anyone else later-- sorry

gotta go cover a smokin hot check -- cuz i ran out of checks on my main bank-- so wrote one on a bank with ten bucks in it-- oopsy!

bbl

happy t-day to you all
byeeeeeeeeee
