i swear i just get dumber by the day


yes , it's true. and here i am. so. lemmee tell you about the last day or so. yep, i lost track. seems to happen, on occasion.

anyhow-- anyone who's read a few days back knows i've had bronchitis for over a week...almost two weeks now.
i spose y'all would also know my kid has been in a bind, and in some trouble lately too.

well.. i guess it was friday night.. same day i had my follow up at the dr. for the bronchitis. which was trying to clear up, but i still felt like hell. she gave me different antibiotics, and prednisone-- ooh boy--- my family is really gonna love me on a few days== PMS AND roid rage ! woo hoo!! (let's not forget i already take a different steroid for addisons.. so i will surely be quite the bitch... as if i'm not naturally bitchy enough as it is. )

so anyhow. soulkid, on top of being hospitalized, and grounded and all sorts of crap-- we decided to cut her some slack and let her hang out --or well, let a couple friends, hang out with her. so we took them to the mall, while we ate dinner.. then brought them all back here for the night. of course they had fun.. but it was a big mistake on our part. i was unable to sleep. at all. not one second. hubby was up til about 2 ish. we were just nervous that they would sneak out--or make trouble...again. so even though i loaded up on my sleep meds.. i was wide awake all night long.

so , i somehow managed to kill the entire night --and part of the morning-- online, and doin other stupid stuff. then sometime in the morning, i got the bright idea to sort tackle. OMG , one of these days i'll have to take aq picture of my tackle. it's just stupid. for the little pond? yep-- it's overkill. so-- what i thought might take an hour -- ended up taking like three hours... then i went fishin. by then it was aLready almost noon! i was so tired i was blind. but, i still, forced myself to go. thinkin the fresh air would do me good.

well, i don't think it did. i fished about an hour and a half or so-- got one bite and missed it. it was almost 90 degrees, i was hot and tired and sick, and blah. i could have laid on the grass and gone to sleep. good lord i was tiahd.

but i made it home, and went pretty much right to bed, after a quick run scan thru here. and my email. looks like i posted here at 3-- i woke up this morning at 130 !!! i woke up many times between 11 and 130--- but still. that is like the longest i have slept in .. .. i don't know, but a LONG time. and i coughed my heart out half the night. i guess layin down so long allowed me to collect all the crap back into my lungs. ugh. i woke up in such pain i can't even tell you. i guess it might compare to bein beat with a baseball bat about the back and head??? perhaps? seriously. i feel like hammered dog shit.

AND to top it off? i was sittin here havin my first cup of coffee and cigarette, trying to collect my thoughts and figure out wth had happened over thee last few days. i really did lose track of time-- and i still have three kids here. :))
but then , i realized something.... somethin really really sucky.
and stupid.
very stupid.

y'all remeber how i was (we were) sposed to go to vegas to meet jamie and her fam??? and, how we cancelled etc?
well, guess what????
i did cancel mine and hubby's plane tickets and hotel... but guess what i FORGOT to do?? that yesterday while sleeping my life away was my last chance to do???? i forgot to cancel my nephew....slash soul kid-sitter-- s - $333..00 plane ticket !!!!!

yep $ 333.97 i believe
now do you see it aint lucky???
if he doesn't wake up today and decide to visit regardless of us being here or away-- well, we're out, not only that 333.00 but also the 300 .00 it cost to cancel mine and hubbys'.

can we say owwwwwch!!???

how bout STOOPID!!!???

ok, well that's enough for now. i'm roasting, and out of coffee. just wait til the roids kick in. LOL
if i go missing--- check the lake! hubby may throw me overboard!

have happy days today--

ROFL

Poodles gets bronchitis so bad those around her want to kill her. Weis used to as well.
I only get it everytime I get sick. :)

Ya think we ought to quit smoking huh?

Don't people only get roid rage from taking way too many steroids?
????

Your step brother and i used to sneak out of dads house when i was 15. We would meet our friends at the empty construction houses(down the street) and drink beer.
I wonder if dad ever knew.
My bad.

Love me

CRUSTY MOM-E said...

I wonder if that's what the impending 333 has been about all these months..??

Hmm...

Hope your hack is settling back!!

JLee said...

Oh no!!!! That sucks big time!! Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'll buy lunch Wed. lol

The Real Mother Hen said...

Ah, that's a lot of money!
Well say that your nephew is sick, can't board the plane, and get a refund.

SOUL said...

crusty i dont know-- i think its like
others have said.. i just notice it alot cuz im aware of it-- for some reason. no idea. but it is weird.

happy sunday

SOUL said...

jalee--
that's ok-- i got bigger things to worry about anyhow-- i didn't expect a dime back anyhow-- so im just happy for the money we did get.

*just a tip tho peeps--
priceline refunded our money-- for a fee-- and i didnt buy the insurance-- travelocity did NOT refund the money and i DID have insurance. hmmm.
travelocity sucks!

see ya wednesday j- :)

SOUL said...

motha!
i shoulda tried that-- but nooo-- i told the truth-- and they since soulkid wasn't an immediate family member that's why i couldn't cancel and have a refund-- that was a few days ago-- then i for got to call back to put it on hold -- for like more than half the price-- for HIM to use at a later time-- cuz it's non exchangeable. and in HIS name-- even tho i paid for it.
again TRAVELOCITY SUCKS.

go NUKE em for me!!!

happy sunday!

Smocha said...

what about me??

did you call him? is he coming?

update hawg!

love me

SOUL said...

what about you smocha?
no he didn't come. i dont know why it woulda been so hard for you to call him.
i called the one= number you sent..got a machine and dont even know if he got the message in time.
i'm sure he has better things to do anyhow-- it just sickens me to throw all that money away.
but in a way--it was already gone. so
no big deal.

what's yer pod today?

SOUL said...

ps smocha-- dad prolly only knew if it was HIS beer yall drank.
or if you left screens off--or other dumb stuff.
there's ways to know. but they (kids) can be pretteee damn sneaky too.
we only knew about half of the times she snuck out.
but i think she's got the fear of god in her now.

Dearest Soul, You are awesome. Thank you so much for your support and for visiting my blog. You make me want to write more. Yes, I think the blues are a blog epidemic right now. But your love shines. I will be back to read your recent posts in a little bit. I have to finish my mosaic now. Love. Hugs. Bonnie

Brad said...

I was going to ay have nephew come and be at your beck & call for a few days since he won't be sitting on soulkid -

Hope your feeling better - I remember what it's like feeling like there's an elephant sitting on your chest!

Angie Weid said...

Holy Crap!! I don't check in for a few days and I miss so much. Hope you are feeling better. The whole "333" thing is weird. I woke up in the middle of the night last week and posted at 3:33?? strange.

Take care of yourself....I'm throwing healthy happy vibes your way.......

Cheryl said...

Sending good karma your way. I wish I could wisk you away to a tropical island with no worries. It's a good thought, huh?

I'm sure Soulkid loved having her friends over. It was a good-mom thing for you to do, though you did suffer for it.

Summer said...

Have you gotten some rest yet? You're a great mom. Trust me on that.

I'm getting my hip boots on, ready to drag the pond. Ha!

Blur Ting said...

Hey Soul,I finally read every word of your blog and understand why you're feeling so low. I'm so sorry about the chain of events.. Soulkid, your illness, cancellation of trip etc... It's really a tough ride. A really tough one indeed.

The Chinese believe in the cycles. maybe you've entered a bad cycle but it will pass. We go through life cycles all the time and it just happens to be the roughest part now. I hope you'll be back to the smooth and good part real soon.

Hugs to you and the Soul Family.
