hi folks!
guess what time i woke up? just guess....this is the latest i have slept in literally MONTHS ! i'd prolly still be asleep, but you know the drill...hubby gets scolded and accused of hating me if he doesn't kiss me goodbye..and that always wakes me up...but he left late today...and as a result... i slept IN til 7:20 !!!! it was a pure miracle...and a very much needed one. i have been sooo exhausted thiese passed few days...and that dang migraine didn't go away until...i woke up today! nd it's still trying to hang on. man i hate it when that happens. how can a headache last for two or three days?.a migraine! it's horrible. it would ease up, and come back..linger , come back. ugh. i should be used to it by now after all these years, but i just can't like it! my dinner last night consisted of three tylenol, three xanax, and a cup of coffee. yum. that cannot be good for a person. but you know docs...they tell me don't take asperin, don't take NAISD's...but then they refuse to give me anything stronger/narcotic, or easier on my stomache which i would take less of. so in the meantime...i OD on asperine etc... and get bleeding ulcers, reflux, and stomach pain. i hate doctors. hate them! they only care about themselves...they act like they care about the patient, but all their "advice"....is only documented to cover their own ass. UGH.
ok... mooovin on. my agenda for today shall be.... to clean my pig sty and catch up on the laundry..all was neglected as i recovered from sleep deprivation and a never ending headache. now this entire place is a shambles.
i also need to go get cigs, gas, and check my PO box. aaaand of course get some groceries...but i aint doing any big shopping today...just milk and ez stuff. the big shopping can wait til the weekend...and i HOPE hubby goes. it makes SUCH a difference when he is there to help with the cart and the loading unloading etc. it really helps with not just the physical part , but i don't seem to get so anxious, angry or of course sore. sooo we shall see.
ok. that's about it for now.
latah peeps
have a good day everybody.

aaaarrrrghhhh what a night
well hello, peoples. wussup? here? it's 2 in the morning, and here i sit...drinking coffee, writing on my blog. what kinda crap is that!
i had a helluva day yesterday. i was so worn out. been doing too much for my feeble body and mind lately to keep up , i think. plus, night before last, i was up, til God knows when, trying to make the fishin video. i woke up at like 4 somethin a.m. and my laptop was on my lap...headphones wrapped around my neck... i coulda died!..well probably not really. but i woke up, like that, and i was soooo tired. i attempted to save my video in progress, and shut the cpu down----but i fell back to sleep in the midst of my failed attempt! so, there i am, all tangled up with my laptop about to fall off the bed...the cpu...not me. :)) when i woke up suddenly to see hubby there trying to rescue me! it sort of startled me for a sec, til i realized what was going on, who he was, etc. he finally got me all situated, and i fell back to sleep....but thanks to me, he ended up having to sit up for a while. oops.
so anyhow, we were both soooo tired yesterday. we couldn't stand ourselves...and at times, each other, i think.
but i managed to finish my very depressing video...which i didn't even post on here...too sad. i did email it to a few people though. and it is on my vimeo page. but memorial day, sometimes does weird things to me. so ya, anyhow. after i finished that...finally...in the morning....and got it posted etc. hubby watched it andi think the red light went off for him. so he took me fishing....at the pond. both of us got skunked! neither of us caught one fish...oh wait, he did get one...a perch. big whoop. other than that, the bass just weren't active at all. there was another couple on the other end, catfishing...they were slayin em too. they caught maybe 20 by the time we left. they threw them back....but they were catchin them one after the other. so anyhow, we got worn down real quick. we stayed about an hour and a half, and left.
then we came home and ate, and did some cpu stuff. i had already done laundry, and some dishes before we left.... but was too tired to finish anything at that point. so we just killed a little time, then had to go get daughter from a friends house. like an hour away. ugh. i did not want to go...at all. but i went with huby anyhow. i woulda got lost going by myself...and i didn't want to ask him to go alone...i had already backed out of the trip to the mall the night before. so i didn't wanna do that again to him. maaaan we were tired, and i was glad he drove. i may have fallen asleep! but we got her, and she was a tired little grouch! so anyhow, we got home, and i re-heated her some chicken, and i went to bed. i had a bad headache, and just "plum-give-out! i didn't really plan on a nap...but i ended up falling asleep...after 3 tylenol and a xanax... hoping to rid myself of the headache. well... it was maybe 7 p.m. IF that. i didn;t wake up again til like 1030, when hubby came to bed. and that was just for a second, and i fell asleep again. so about midnight...i woke up again...my head was SPLITTING. my God, it hurt. i had to get up and take a imitrex shot. whoever came up with that shit is a genius!!!! i have some lingering pain, but it's tolerable now. but here i am...drinking coffee, and blogging...at 222...wierd number.... because caffiene helps sometimes with the headaches. but i'm thinkin, my day is ruined. i took another xanax, hoping i would be able to get more sleep...but i don't see that happening anytime soon. soooo... my prediction.... hubby will be up in like 2 or 3 hours to get ready for work...i'll sit with him for a while....run my errands etc....and go back to bed this afternoon....and the final result? tonights sleep will be all screwed up too. crap!
but anyways. that's what's goin on right now. i'm sure i'll have more to say later on.
so, for now... ore`vois (someone tell me how to spell that shit)

fishin in the rain
well... we did end up going fishing today... regardless of the boat motor problems... and the rain. we went anyhow. we used the trolling motor for a few hours, then we tied our boat off, and got onto hubbys' friends' boat, and motored out with him a little, and fished with him for a few more hours. it was soooo exhausting....but oh soooo fun! i hadn't been fishing on a boat in like two years. ours sat parked in new mexico the whole time we were out there.... in the sun, and the rain...with goats...yes... GOATS...climbing all in, and on it. the thing is a mess...but it was a blast. and i caught fish ! look! there's one now!
hubby caught fish too...but every time he got one it was raining. in fact, it was probably raining every time anybody got any more fish, cuz this was the only pic that got taken out there today. it rained off and on all day. which sucked. we were putting our rain gear on and off every half hour. it was pretty lame. but we were glad to have it. the bad part of that was, when our storage bin got robbed a couple years ago...my gortex (100 plus dollar rain /wind gear) got stolen...along with the pants to the jacket i have now... so hubby let me wear HIS rain pants today...he only had his jacket. nice guy eh? but i looked like a big clown wearing HIS pants out there. i almost fell overboard once, then i rolled the pants up about four cuffs, so i wouldn't trip on my pant legs and drown!
so anyhow...yep. we all got fish. but i didn't get a lot. i thought i boated two...hubby says it was three or four. i can agree with three, but not four. i may have got three...heck i literally blacked out the first two hours of the day!! before leaving the house, and part of the way out there...totally do not remember stopping for gas in the truck. not a flash of it! ugh. i'm losing my mind. but anyhow. i got at least two bass that i remember...and have a pic to prove one of em. LOL. i lost two. one was a nice one too. he was almost at the boat, then he was gone. the next one hit right at the boat, and shook it out right there. i didn't even have a chance to set the hook really. then i lost another one ...as soon as the bait hit the water he hit it.... i set the hook sooo hard....the entire line...bait, hook, and all ...came flying all the way over the boat!!! i was so lucky it didn't hit one of us. three people..and no one got hit. phew. then i just missed a couple more.
as for hubby.... i'm not even sure how many he got. at least four , five, maybe six in the boat... not sure how many he missed or lost. but he did catch several. and his friend got a bunch more than either of us...when he came to get us to go fish on his boat, e said he was getting a fish on every cast....and he may have been...cuz when we got over there, i got one on my first cast. but not another one for a while...so hey, maybe i did get four in the boat.
anyhow, ya, he caught a bunch. we probably saw him catch maybe 8 or ten. i don't know, i was too busy trying to get my own fish!
so, anyways. we finally left. it was like 1 or two when we left...i don't know when we got home, but it's a loooong way out there. and it rained like hell on the ride back. baaad. we could hardly see right in front of us. and guess what happened? shit like this only happens to ME!
i mean like the chain of events in a short period of time...not just the...yes the ...we ran out of gas part! yep on our way home, in a torenchal downpour. after pouring hundreds of dollars into our boat, only to realize that the engine is down, and will cost another bunch of money to fix (maybe)....so we decide ok, we';; fish anyhow...and we get rained on all day...THEN run out of gas too!!! hmmmmmm. BUT..... the good in all of it? welll, as for the engine in the boat... jim...hubbys friend...said it may just be a cheap little part that is clogged...if thats true...we're lucky! and it could be...cuz the boat sat for so long. also... the rain...big whoop...we all caught fish. the running out of gas..... gues what? after the truck died and we got on the side of the road...after a few cranks...it started....and less than a mile down the road was a gas station!!! so we filled that sucker up and drove on home. now i'm all bathed, and exhausted. if only someone would bring me something to eat and give me a back massage, i would be set!!! but, instead... i'll just call it a good day...and i think it's lights out for me...and fend for yourselves for the rest of the clan.
how bout y'all. whadya do?

not a lot to say right now
well, it's friday. the first friday of "summer". (no school...at least not until june 4th).
so what is on my agenda for the day? hmmm... we WERE going to go fishing...on our boat. the boat that we just put several hundred dollars into! BUT.... wouldn't ya know it... something is wrong with it. the engine is spittin fuel. well, we can't run it like that. we've already been on a boat that caught fire once...and trust me...ONCE is PLENTY enough for a life time for anybody! that was pretty scary...we had to bail out and swim to shore. my daughter was only five years old at the time...and ya know, now that i think about it...i do believe THAT is when she decided she didn't like to fish anymore! (why didn't i realize THAT sooner? she probably has PTSD! i hope not.
but, ya, anyhow. now we have to get that fixed before we can take it on the water. we are soooooo bummmed. but pretty sure that it has something to do with the boat sitting, unstarted, for almost two years. ya think? grrrrr.
sooooo...besides that, it's raining. so not only can we not go fishing...on or off the boat...i can't even go yardsaling. and it's been a long time since i even really felt like doing that. but today i would...but noooooo.
soooooo.... i did promise my kid i would take her to Target to get a CD that she's been wanting. so i suppose i will be going there today. but there is nothing that i want for myself there. except maybe a few easy to eat junk. everyone is already nagging...including me this time...that there is nothing to eat. well...there's actually lots to eat .. it just ALL needs to be cooked. and who the hell wants to do THAT? not any of us. LOL
other than that? laundry. of course. where does all of it come from? it's never-ending!
also...i gotta clean my sty..i mean house.
just misc inside crap i guess. i wish i could find our drill...i just might hang stuff on the walls ... FINALLY ... if i knew where that was.
oh...but yesterday, we did clean up the garage...not all the way, but we got TONS of crap sorted and put up in the attic. i also pinched a nerve in my neck the day before....so that crap didn't help any. i should go to the dr. but i'm too cheap. i'd rather go out to eat, or buy some other worthless item with that money! ugh. i AM my mothers' daughter.
ok... more later maybe.
for now...i'm gone

it's still thursday
what a passed few days this has been. i am plum give out ! (my aunt says that, and i love it. there's no better way to express that.. plum give out... feeling!)
anyhow, yep... i'm just exhausted. run ragged, and ready for a nap. i'm about to try, but everyone is home, so i don't know if it'll work or not. but i just wanted to pop in and say hi.
today is the last day of school. the kid has been home since 10:30 and is already bored. what the hell am i gonna do for three months to keep her "entertained"?
well actually...there will be something to keep her busy, that is now on schedule. summer school. it was confirmed yesterday. and wouldn't ya know it...the only time in my life i've ever heard of this before... we had to pay 200.00 for it!!!!! who pays for summer school???? isn't public school.. TAX dollars at work???? after we spent all that money on cars, licenses, trucks, boats, batteries, groceries....got the kid clothes and shoes.....etc etc.... then it's oh, by the way mr, mrs. soulmange.....haha....i almost put my last name there. LoL... anyhow... hey guess what, not only is your kid going to summer school....but surprise...we need two hundred dollars TODAY for it. *GASP*
oh well. it's all good. i guess. she learned her lesson. we are all just glad she doesn't have to repeat the seventh grade. that was a possibility too. so i'll...well, we'll, take summer school for three weeks any day, over that!
besides... she was "commended" on her her english/reading etc portion of the TAKS test. now that's pretty cool. i told ya she could write. and read etc etc etc.
so, that , and many discussions over the past few weeks...sort of overrides the summer school thing. the money part...still not real happy about that. but as for her, as a little person. (she'll kill me if she sees i just called her that!) sorry, "a young lady" ???? she really does make me proud. she's hit a few stumbling blocks this past year or two.... but she's on her feet now, and ready to do what she knows she needs to do to stay that way. she's a good kid. i've seen a lot worse than this happen to several of her friends this last year.... she made some really good decisions.
ok...i'll shut up. i'm goin to sleep for a while.

busy bisy bizzy
ok, here's todays update. i actually accomplished stuff today ! i know, i am as amazed as you are.
anyhow... i did manage to get my texas drivers license this morning ... without getting angry, or arguing with anybody this time. i even ended up at the same office i had all the problems at yesteray! only because i didn't know how to get to the other one. but anyhow... wanna hear the two things that were a bit bothersome... but i handled well? actually there were three things.
1. had to deal with the same spanish lady i had yesterday. and she tried to be all nit picky with me, and said "i remember you". not sure "how" she meant that. BUT...
2.... after i did what i had to with her.... i stepped over to the other side of the place to the next line... and i got on my cell phone to call hubby real quick about something....well...this same woman shouts across the room... NO CELL PHONES!!!! well excuuuse me! so i had to lose my place in line and go ooutside to finish my call. (it was ok...there were signs i just didn't notice them til after i came back in...and i only got bumped back by two people)..it was just that she coulda done that in a less embarrassing manner... ya know? but that's ok. i expected worse actually on the drive over there.
ok... 3rd.... i found out... after everything i went through yesterday...and after all the time i wasted doing it, all the stress and aggrivation...that lasted until i finally got my license today...it wasn't then did i finally chill out. but anways...the lady i was doing the rest of the info stuff with..she was pretty nice...anyhow...i've by now, driven out there twice, and back once...gonna do that again..filled out all kinds of papers...dug out my birth cirtificate...almost threw down with a lady over something pretty stupid...both of us at least 40 years old (i'm 41)... so anyhow... the lady i was then talking to... finally says... have you ever had a texas drivers license before? well duh.. i say yes... she puts me in the computer.. and whammo....there i am!....
do you know what that means??? it means that if i would have thought to say... or better yet... if the woman at the counter that i had all the problems with would have ASKED ME THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE...... i would have had my license with ease YESTERDAY !!!!! BUT NOOOO.. she was tooo busy talking to her spanish friends to think to ask me that so very simple question. and by then i was too upset to think to tell her. so when i told the lady today, and she had all my info in the computer...know what she did? she immediately...SHREDDED the copies of my damned birth cirtificate, NM drivers license, and SS card!!! (she of course kept the original NM DL.) but i was like "you gotta be kiddin me????" you oughtta tell her to ask people THAT. she looked over at her...and said with a smirk... it wouldn't do any good. i laughed out loud, and said, ya know, you're probably right!
anyhow...that was pretty funny... she is apparently just not a favorite with a few other people...it wasn't just me. so that made me feel a bit better
alright...the fourth thing...
4. i almost failed my vision test!!! i told y'all i was goin blind! AND stupid to boot! i put my head up against the eye thing...and AGAIN.. i meant to THINK...but i SPOKE! i said... crap, i can't see it . she says "UH OH." i say... "no wait".... and i close my left eye... and i could see better...still blurry, but better...so i read it off, and apparently got it...but i did not tell her i closed an eye!!! she said you had me worried for a minute... i said ME TOO.
PHEW
so anyhow... ya that was the first part of the day. well the second part... i mentioned the morning in my first post earlier today.
so anyhow...yep...i FINALLY got my license... I'm legal. almost. now i just gotta inspect and register my car... another time.
BUT.... i also.... finally made it to the grocery store !!!! we have food, and other neccessities now. what a load off. and i was pretty happy at the register. once again, we were down to very little, and hubby went with me to help...we expected to spend 200.00..,and it looked like that much...i couldn't even push the cart.... but it was less than 140.00 !!! can you say thrilled? woo hoo.
AND... guess what else? you have to sing this part.... like a little kid trying to tease another kid k?
I got my fi-sh-in li-cense !!!!! fresh and salt water...good for a whole twelve months !!! i am legal now. yes. i have been bad. i have fished a few times without a license. only 3 or 4 , but it takes a lot of the fun out of it lemmee tell ya. cuz one time i got a ticket for that. it wasn't my fault tho. i honestly did not know my license had expired. but that was like maybe seven years ago, and the ticket cost over 100.00. so i was really worried doing it here lately. it was only a few times. but i just don't like that feeling of doing something wrong or feeling like i'm gonna get in trouble. so yep. i'm glad i finally got my license. now i'll probably be fishin all the time!
OH...and i did something else too... even after all that runnin around etc... i even managed to cook dinner!
oh ya... and hubby, accomplished stuff too.... yesterday, he worked on is truck...then went and got it inspected.....(i insured it friday)....then today he went and got it registered...
then he got the 3 batteries for the boat today too!
do y'all lknow what that means? lemmee tell ya what it means.... it means... we will be on our boat...fishin...by THIS weekend!!!
what a day. an expensive day at that. but a lot got done, that has been put off and put off for waaaay too long.
oh ya.. i almost forgot..... we were on our way to wal mart- aka.. wally hell... to grocery shop... and we almost got in a wreck. woulda too, if hubby didn't see the other car comin at us. we were yackin, i was driving.....and smoking.... i tell ya... me and multi-tasking, don't get along too well anymore....all the sudden hubby throws his hands up, and is all whoa, whoa, whoa..... (but sorta calmly...not shouty or panicky)....thank GOD.... so i didn't panick... so i look over and saw a car comin through a stop sign...i mean mere feet from us...some dumbass talkin on the phone!!!
so i hit the skids...she hit the skids...my tires were smokin....her tires were smokin...luckily both cars came to a stop before that awful sound of crunching metal and shattering glass...because i know that somebody would have been hurt in that one.
anyhow.... it was nice out today, and we had our windows down, so after both cars sat still for a few seconds, my husband flipped the other driver the bird, politely spit out the B-word, and we drove off with the smell of burnt rubber filling the car, and our noses.
i didn't drive for the rest of the evening! and maybe i won't drive tomorrow either.
i was soooo glad he saw that car...because i didn't, and it surely would have been a bad situation.
ok...that was my day...our day...
how was y'alls?
anyhow... i did manage to get my texas drivers license this morning ... without getting angry, or arguing with anybody this time. i even ended up at the same office i had all the problems at yesteray! only because i didn't know how to get to the other one. but anyhow... wanna hear the two things that were a bit bothersome... but i handled well? actually there were three things.
1. had to deal with the same spanish lady i had yesterday. and she tried to be all nit picky with me, and said "i remember you". not sure "how" she meant that. BUT...
2.... after i did what i had to with her.... i stepped over to the other side of the place to the next line... and i got on my cell phone to call hubby real quick about something....well...this same woman shouts across the room... NO CELL PHONES!!!! well excuuuse me! so i had to lose my place in line and go ooutside to finish my call. (it was ok...there were signs i just didn't notice them til after i came back in...and i only got bumped back by two people)..it was just that she coulda done that in a less embarrassing manner... ya know? but that's ok. i expected worse actually on the drive over there.
ok... 3rd.... i found out... after everything i went through yesterday...and after all the time i wasted doing it, all the stress and aggrivation...that lasted until i finally got my license today...it wasn't then did i finally chill out. but anways...the lady i was doing the rest of the info stuff with..she was pretty nice...anyhow...i've by now, driven out there twice, and back once...gonna do that again..filled out all kinds of papers...dug out my birth cirtificate...almost threw down with a lady over something pretty stupid...both of us at least 40 years old (i'm 41)... so anyhow... the lady i was then talking to... finally says... have you ever had a texas drivers license before? well duh.. i say yes... she puts me in the computer.. and whammo....there i am!....
do you know what that means??? it means that if i would have thought to say... or better yet... if the woman at the counter that i had all the problems with would have ASKED ME THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE...... i would have had my license with ease YESTERDAY !!!!! BUT NOOOO.. she was tooo busy talking to her spanish friends to think to ask me that so very simple question. and by then i was too upset to think to tell her. so when i told the lady today, and she had all my info in the computer...know what she did? she immediately...SHREDDED the copies of my damned birth cirtificate, NM drivers license, and SS card!!!

i was soooo glad he saw that car...because i didn't, and it surely would have been a bad situation.
ok...that was my day...our day...
how was y'alls?
I am a bit perturbed today..well it's residual
ok... first... i will say... i am not prejudiced. not in the sense of the word. i mean i don't judge , or hate people due to their skin color, ethnicity etc. (unless a certain person, of a different race...and i will even include my own...if someone gives me reson to fear, or judge them, or be angry with them...i will be.)
ok... here's what i'm gettin at.
yesterday....
i went to get my texas drivers license ...finally. i mean, heck...i've only been back in texas since august! ugh. well, you all know how i procrastinate!
well anyhow. i had to go like twenty miles to the DL office. why they don't have one closer... i have no idea. so i drive out there... one of the "things " is, you have to have your car insured and registered in texas... before you get a license. well.... i haven't done that either...yet. (waiting for my NM tags to expire next month).. anyhow...my car IS insured here..just not registered ...or inspected...but hubbys is. so i took his car title/insurance cards etc, in with me..and my NM drivers license, and my SS card. i thought that would be good enough. well..;.. it wasn't.
because of the fact that even though I AM on the insurance, but the car isn't in my name, they wouldn't accept it.... SO they wanted a THIRD form of ID. she gives me this form with a list of "acceptable" forms of proper identification. of course, a birth cirtificate...that i have...at home/20 miles away!... a marriage license ... 20 miles away!.... so i keep going down the list... i get to military ID card. well, i have a disabled veterans medical ID card...so i take that up there...not good enough! WHAT????? it is a government ID card... PLUS i am a damn disabled VET. nope. ... ok i keep goin down the list... i get to military documents... well of course i have my discharge papers...at home...20 miles away!!!!! BUT... i also had...surprise...with me... a few letters and forms with my name and adress and ss number on them FROM the DAV, and VA hospital.... guess what... NOT military documents ..... WHAAAAA??? (now... if you woulda seen and heard this lady you would realize WHY i got soooooo freakin angry...... i mean she was spanish.... and talking to people behind me in spanish WHILE I was trying to talk to her, and get my own business done!)..... now.. in ANY circumstance...when i feel that i am not being given the attention i am due...especially while doing business...i get PISSED! so.... i said...i meant to think it, but it came out of my mouth!!! OOOPS..... i said... "i bet if i was mexican you'd take it!" she only scowled at me.....i coulda been shot by anyone in the building in earshot. ugh. that was really stupid of me!
so... she tells me to go sit down, and look over the list again! i think that was a polite way of saying that if i didn't get out of her face she was gonna fly over the counter! ... which woulda been ok by me... cuz i was ready to throw down too! i was pissed.
and the whole thing got worse, as i read further down the list. know why....
because... a few more acceptable forms of ID...
1. a FOREIGN VISA !
2. a RESIDENT ALIEN card!
3. a BORDER CROSSER CARD!
4. a TEXAS INMATE CARD !!!!
BUT>>>> they would NOT accept my UNITED STATES NAVY DISABLED VETERAN IDENTIFICATION CARD!!!!
i gotta say... i was angry enough to hit her. but i didn't. i may not have gotten so angry...since she was only following procedure. but it was the fact that i was just trying to get a drivers license..... and the entire timer that i was trying to get HELP... she was talking ... in spanish... to people BEHIND ME!!!!
AND..... if i was a felon....or an illegal alien... i would have had no problem!!!! but as a united states military disabled vet.... i couldn't get my drivers license !!!
oh man. you just don't know. you just can't fathom my anger.
soooooo... my agenda for today? to go get my drivers license... and bring with me... my NM drivers license, SS card, AND freakin Birth certificate!!! seein as i don't have a texas inmate card... or any border crossing card etc.
OMG!!!!
and ya wanna hear the funny part? i don't know if anyone has heard about this. prolly ppl in tx of course have. in farmers branch tx... the voters...except for the illegal aliens...from mexico...who are also allowed to register to VOTE in the US!!! (i just learned that part this morning...... but american felons, or dishonorably discharged military...cannot vote!)
anyways... farmers branch tx... just passed a law.. if that's the right term... that "illegal immigrants"...will no longer be allowed to rent an apartment in farmers branch tx.
AND guess what... I was against that! i believed
it was not fair to them. if they work and have money to pay their rent...they should not be forced into the damn street.... and i actually still feel that way. even though i am pissed about what happened yesterday.
so anyways. people are people...and i guess they're just who and how they are... i mean the lady at the DL office. as for today...i'm goin to a different office.
and for the ppl in farmers branch... those people that voted for that...are just inhumane, and selfish, and think because they have money they can choose their neighbors...but i think it will backfire...they put that law that was supposed to go into effect today...on hold for further review.
i hope the people in "office" realize what a mistake it would be....for one thing...i think it could actually cause riots or something they aren't thinking about. but also...if it doesn't pass..... i HOPE that town gets FLOODED with illegals...and runs out every one of these "holier than thou" idiots!!!!
ok... i'm done with my rant for the day.
i really gotta get some things DONE today...and i am off to a good start! i've done two loads of laundry, and still goin on that...i did my dishes...of course got the girl to school...ummmm.....well, so far i think thats it. but it's only 8:46. go me! now, i need to head to the drivers license place...just not the one i went to yesterday...this one is like ten or 15 miles in the opposite direction. UGH!
latah

third post for today
I"M BAAACK
can you say bored? how bout lazy? what should the word of the day be today? how about... hermit? or - bored , lazy, hermit. i am a bored, lazy, procrastinating...hermit. and ya know, my mood went south pretty quickly this evening. i think it was about dinner time. i got a migraine, and had to cook, i went to blockbuster first....i have no idea why i bothered, cuz no one watched any movies. oh well. then when i got back i fixed dinner. i had planned on stir fry...but ended up with chili cheese dogs. cuz i felt like crap. and i didn't finish a dang thing i started today. i started laundry...didn't finish it though...there's a load in the washer, and one in the dryer...and about four on the floor that await me for tomorrow. there's that famous word again... "tomorrow". and here i always wonder why my daughter is so big on... i'll do it later... i'll do it tomorrow. oh God what have i created?AGAIN
so, anyhow. did i go grocery shopping? nope. didn't do that either. once again, i am amazed that i am able to put meals together. well...honestly we have been going out a little too often lately. i gotta stop that shit, and get to the store!
ok, what else?
oh...hubby went fishing today.... he caught lots of fish, but his fishing partner did great as far as size goes. the scales were broken, so they don't have a positive weight on this bass...but he was a giant. i would probab;y cry if i caught a fish like that...happy tears. take a look at this fish...they guessed him at over 8lbs...and i won't question it. he looks that, if not bigger...
Tuesday, May 15, 2007
it's monday all over again
i ... well for one.. i think i hate to start a blog post with the word I. it's kinda "this is gonna be all about ME and i insist that you give a damn".
but anyhow. it isn't always like that; sometimes i have bad things to say about myself, but still seem to start with the word i. i am shit. i am not shit. i am insane. that one i think i will stick by.
soooo. anyways, my dryer is still broken, and i'll bet fifty bucks my clothes in the washer, and in the dryer are now.... trash. mildewed, stained, stinky, trash. as if i could afford something like this to happen right now. ugh. we still don't even know what is wrong with the damned dryer, but it looks like i will be making a trip to the laundrymat soon. how great. just great. back when i drank, i would get drunk waiting for my clothes at the laundrymat....but....well, i don't drink anymore. sucked the fun right out of laundry day ! besides that... it hurts my back to carry laundry through the house....much less...house to car, car to machines, machine to dryer, dryer to table, table back to car, car into house, house to whoever it belongs to. it's just crap i say. i feel the pain already/ and i dread it. that's why my clothes ruined. if i didn't fear the pain...or the laundrymat...i woulda just gone and dried the clothes and all would be fine...except the dryer, and the dirty clothes piling up. but at least i wouldn't be in the bind of replacing stuff. ugh. see what i mean? i can whine all day if ya let me.
want me to tell ya how damn hungry i am??? pretty damn hungry. i have 8 dollars in my purse...i have about forty in the bank...and nothing coming in til friday. i'm afraid to spend a dime. on anything. it's pretty rare that we get this broke. just happens sometimes i reckon. but, it's not that we don't have food...we just don't have any snack stuff i can just go grab...and what do you think i chose to take out for dinner? a freakin pork roast that's gonna take an hour and a half to cook! so in the meantime, i'm gettin a headache, and i feel a bitch attack coming on...in fact i just took some asperin, but as for the bitch attack...i need to eat something. but what??? arghhhhhh.
oh and know what else? all that shit i just wrote....none of it is what i was even gonna write when i started. in fact, i don't know if i can even remember what i was gonna write, but that wasn't it. hold on, lemmee light a cig, and see if i can regain my train of thought.....
well, that didn't help at all. well, at least not with the memory thing. i have no idea what i had planned on saying at first.
so...i guess i will, just pick something. the bank !!! speaking of memory...or lack thereof... today, i'm out running errands, and such, and i have a bank that i rarely use anymore....two accounts...one with my husband, one with my daughter. so i went to the bank to close one of the two accounts. the one that no money goes in or out of. the joint acct we still have a direct deposit and a couple direct bills out of. so anyhow.... there i am, at "the bank" to close this account. i sign in, i wait..not very long thank goodness, then i sit at this guys desk, and say i need to close one of my accounts, i give him my drivers licence and my cards for both accounts...in order to close one, and transfer the measly six..yes SIX dollars into the other account. well....he looks at the cards and says these are wells fargo cards..... i immediately realize...shit...i'm NOT at wells fargo! i'm at another bank we have accounts at...one we opened when we moved back here from new mexico...which is why we no longer use the other account. so i'm like...."oh man, this isn't wells fargo"... he says...no, do you have an account here? i say yes, that's why i came here i guess, i'm just used to coming here. ugh. how embarassed was i? pretty damn embarassed! so, i , with my eggplant colored face, gathered all my cards...and scurried out of there...and went to wells freakin fargo...to close my account. good LORD.
this just has not been a good week for me. not at all. i mean it hasn't totally sucked. i did a few things, like went fishing a couple times...i caught a fish too...but it was a catfish...didn't bother to keep it. we stayed at a hotel and went out for a really delicious steak dinner on saturday...the hotel was some thing hubby won months ago. and the dinner we put on his work credit card...just to make sure the card worked ya know. :)) and a couple other fleeting good things. but for the most part...it's been crap.
perhaps this being the first mothers day without my mom has a part to play??? mothers day was never real significant between her and i anyhow....but i seemed always to feel guilty for not sending a card...or was motivated by guilt in order to send a card. and this was the first year i didn't have to deal with either scenario. maybe i felt guilty for being the way i was. maybe i felt bad for her being the way she was. maybe i didn't feel anything at all. except guilt. (i mean about her...hubby and daughter were great).
but anyhow. yep. i don't know what to do with myself . just lots goin on in my feeble mind lately. too many thoughts, and nowhere to store or release them. maybe. who knows. who even really cares.
well, i guess i'll go get dinner in the oven and see what i can scavenge up to snack on. i just might have to go buy a smoothie, or an iced mocha, or some chips. just somethin.
but anyhow. it isn't always like that; sometimes i have bad things to say about myself, but still seem to start with the word i. i am shit. i am not shit. i am insane. that one i think i will stick by.
soooo. anyways, my dryer is still broken, and i'll bet fifty bucks my clothes in the washer, and in the dryer are now.... trash. mildewed, stained, stinky, trash. as if i could afford something like this to happen right now. ugh. we still don't even know what is wrong with the damned dryer, but it looks like i will be making a trip to the laundrymat soon. how great. just great. back when i drank, i would get drunk waiting for my clothes at the laundrymat....but....well, i don't drink anymore. sucked the fun right out of laundry day ! besides that... it hurts my back to carry laundry through the house....much less...house to car, car to machines, machine to dryer, dryer to table, table back to car, car into house, house to whoever it belongs to. it's just crap i say. i feel the pain already/ and i dread it. that's why my clothes ruined. if i didn't fear the pain...or the laundrymat...i woulda just gone and dried the clothes and all would be fine...except the dryer, and the dirty clothes piling up. but at least i wouldn't be in the bind of replacing stuff. ugh. see what i mean? i can whine all day if ya let me.
want me to tell ya how damn hungry i am??? pretty damn hungry. i have 8 dollars in my purse...i have about forty in the bank...and nothing coming in til friday. i'm afraid to spend a dime. on anything. it's pretty rare that we get this broke. just happens sometimes i reckon. but, it's not that we don't have food...we just don't have any snack stuff i can just go grab...and what do you think i chose to take out for dinner? a freakin pork roast that's gonna take an hour and a half to cook! so in the meantime, i'm gettin a headache, and i feel a bitch attack coming on...in fact i just took some asperin, but as for the bitch attack...i need to eat something. but what??? arghhhhhh.
oh and know what else? all that shit i just wrote....none of it is what i was even gonna write when i started. in fact, i don't know if i can even remember what i was gonna write, but that wasn't it. hold on, lemmee light a cig, and see if i can regain my train of thought.....
well, that didn't help at all. well, at least not with the memory thing. i have no idea what i had planned on saying at first.
so...i guess i will, just pick something. the bank !!! speaking of memory...or lack thereof... today, i'm out running errands, and such, and i have a bank that i rarely use anymore....two accounts...one with my husband, one with my daughter. so i went to the bank to close one of the two accounts. the one that no money goes in or out of. the joint acct we still have a direct deposit and a couple direct bills out of. so anyhow.... there i am, at "the bank" to close this account. i sign in, i wait..not very long thank goodness, then i sit at this guys desk, and say i need to close one of my accounts, i give him my drivers licence and my cards for both accounts...in order to close one, and transfer the measly six..yes SIX dollars into the other account. well....he looks at the cards and says these are wells fargo cards..... i immediately realize...shit...i'm NOT at wells fargo! i'm at another bank we have accounts at...one we opened when we moved back here from new mexico...which is why we no longer use the other account. so i'm like...."oh man, this isn't wells fargo"... he says...no, do you have an account here? i say yes, that's why i came here i guess, i'm just used to coming here. ugh. how embarassed was i? pretty damn embarassed! so, i , with my eggplant colored face, gathered all my cards...and scurried out of there...and went to wells freakin fargo...to close my account. good LORD.
this just has not been a good week for me. not at all. i mean it hasn't totally sucked. i did a few things, like went fishing a couple times...i caught a fish too...but it was a catfish...didn't bother to keep it. we stayed at a hotel and went out for a really delicious steak dinner on saturday...the hotel was some thing hubby won months ago. and the dinner we put on his work credit card...just to make sure the card worked ya know. :)) and a couple other fleeting good things. but for the most part...it's been crap.
perhaps this being the first mothers day without my mom has a part to play??? mothers day was never real significant between her and i anyhow....but i seemed always to feel guilty for not sending a card...or was motivated by guilt in order to send a card. and this was the first year i didn't have to deal with either scenario. maybe i felt guilty for being the way i was. maybe i felt bad for her being the way she was. maybe i didn't feel anything at all. except guilt. (i mean about her...hubby and daughter were great).
but anyhow. yep. i don't know what to do with myself . just lots goin on in my feeble mind lately. too many thoughts, and nowhere to store or release them. maybe. who knows. who even really cares.
well, i guess i'll go get dinner in the oven and see what i can scavenge up to snack on. i just might have to go buy a smoothie, or an iced mocha, or some chips. just somethin.

it's a monday
yep...still alive here. just been a little busy to post. well, that's not totally true. i have been a little busy. but i have also been in my muck too. i wanted to post, just didn't. i could have if i wanted to whine or complain. but i didn't want to do that. still don't really. but i have people asking about the snake...so i thought i'd at least try and answer that question.
i am not positive about the type of snake it was. but i did a little research today. and what i did find out that "there are only four types of poisonous snakes in the united states". well who knew?
i sure didn't. i treat them all as poisonous, just to be safe. but they said that the four types that are venomous are... copperheads, rattlesnakes..duh, cottonmouths, and the WTH i just drew a blank ! coral. ya, that's it. ok. that's the four types. the water moccosin is also poisonous but in the same catagory as a cottonmouth and there are differnt types of rattlesnakes etc.
so.... i kept searching, and the closest i came to what seemed to look in size and color...which is found in texas... is called a "texas rat snake" non poisonous. but i wasn't taking any chances. that damn thing was at least five feet long! soooo....he's dead now. and, i'll probably kill the next one i see in the yard too. just because. i don't want them around my house. poisonous or not.
so anyhow...that's what i 'think" it was.
also.... my damn dryer broke. on mothers day. yippee. and i have wet clothes ruining. hubby thought he would fix it today...but didn't/ couldn't, whatever. don't know what to do.
i have a list of things to whine and bitch about but i won't. i just won't say anything for now.
hope y'all are good.

check THIS out.... i told you something interesting might happen !
okay..... here i was, just piddlin around the house, not really doing anything, just picking things up here and there, etc. killing time basically. hubby was at work. well, i was expecting him soon, but anyhow... he calls.... he says...
"hey, i'm outside, and there's a huge snake out here ! two birds are attacking it ! "
so, i'm like... "uh, well, what am I supposed to do about it?... just get in here and stay away from it!"
well... it didn't take long to realize that he...nor i.. wanted the chance for the snake..of whatever type to get into the garage...which would possibly lead him into the house....or the possibility of my daughter being bitten...or either of us for that matter. i mean c'mon. a snake? i hate snakes! i do not want one in my yard, my tree, my garage, my house! my nuthin. so... i of course, grab the camera... ummmm... and the broom. LOL. i know i know, but it was all that was handy. at the time.
so anyhow, i go out there to help hubby capture, or perhaps kill this snake. i haven't seen it yet, and really don't know if he's exaggerating his size yet or not. well. he wasn't! we finally saw him.
so... like they say... a picture is worth a thousand words right? so, before the photos... i will say, that after i saw the true size of this "animal"... i thought K-BAR time ! (BTW, that is a very big and sharp knife for those of you who don't know.) so we got the k-bar... and some kind of perhaps five foot long metal pry bar thing. at one point... hubby held the snake by the neck with the pry bar....as i slashed his throat. eventually, two roofer guys showed up, (to measure the roof to fix our hail damage)...in the midst of our snake murder, and helped finish the job... by chopping his head off with a shovel they had in their truck.
ok...... here is ... the rest of the story...... (and here i thought nothing blog-worthy would happen today...HA
let's see who can beat this one!

ok, here i am, happy?
well, i'm not. at least not as happy as i would like to be anyways. and i really don't know why. i mean i just had a great little getaway with my family, i really enjoyed that. i got to fish, i didn't have to cook, i barely had any responsibility at all. no driving. no paying bills, no computer, or phone, no taking or picking up the kid from school, no time restraints, no nuthin. i did whatever the hell i wanted to do. the worst thing that happened was i turned 41. big deal.
after that i came home to real life. bills, school, responsibility, chores, guilt for lack of completing chores and errands, appointments, animals, ugh, the animals. i love my animals...but really. they are like having four extra kids. feeding them, cleaning up after them, putting them out at god awful hours, spending money on them left and right, worrying about them...getting lost, getting sick, dying, getting mange, peeing on the floor, scratching up the furniture, you name it. i worry about it.
i think i have come to the realization that i just don't like my life a whole lot right now. it was really nice being out in the woods in a little cabin, with just us, and very little extra new century conveniences and interferience. i think i want to just go be amish. no real world bullshit. just my family. maybe a garden...i would surely have to learn how to grow one first or else we would starve. but we can fish, and hubby can hunt. just go live off the land like little house on the prairie type stuff.
geesh. i mean i was out runnin my errands, paying bills , doin this and that this morning, and i called hubby for something, to ask about whatever...and i just broke down bawling. for nothing. i'm just fallin apart. slippin into depression again. can't pin it down. sure there's a lot goin on. but i should be able to handle it, and i'm not. what the hell??
i don't want to do anything i barely CAN do anything.
i did actually go fish in a pond today though after my mentl attack... i almost caught a bass. he got off though before i got him in. that totally sucked. but it was better than nothin at all.
well, anyhow, i am very tired, and hot, and i think i shall take a nap. i probably shouldn't cuz i prolly won't sleep tonight, whichh has been another of my problems. but i am just tired. all over tired. mind, body, everything tired.
so anyhow.
hope y'all are ok.
i'll be back around when i catch up with myself.

I'M BACK
hiya peeples...
did anybody miss me?
it was weird to not have a computer or phone for three and a half days...but it was nice. it was almost stress free. i really love to go out there. i wish we could have a week that isn't during the school year, and we could have our entire week. i'm just gonna have to see if i can find somehow to trade my week for one during the summer...but not when it's real hot.
it's funny how much stress these animals really are. just not having to worry about them, or wake up to put the dogs out...or wake up and clean up animal vomitous...is relaxing.
plus hubby did most..if not all of the cooking. which was too kool.
we were gonna grill some steaks for my birthday dinner....but.....we looked in the grill first, and what did we see? look below/
birdie eggs in a nest !!!!
we couldn't move them...or cook them. so we didn't grill. we went out and had chicken fried steak by lake fork. which by the way was a mistake. it didn't sit well. if ya know what i mean. i don't think it was bad meat, just maybe heavier than what we'd been eating lately. so we were kinda ill the rest of the night that night. but we did swing by Lake Fork and try to bank fish a little...no luck. so we went back to the cabin. did i mention that i just love it there?
OH...but our neighbors. my Lord. there must have been like five adults and at least ten kids over there, and they were the noisiest people i have been forced to neighbor with in a very long time. i bet since the NAVY barracks. it was pretty rough. but we lived. and still had a very good time.
we could not talk the kid into fishing with us, but hubby and i fished. did I catch any fish? hell no. not a single one. did he? of course. not many. he got two bass and a perch. one of the bass was just too cool lookin to not take a pic. neither were very big, but this looked pretty cool, so here ya go... i thought he looked kinda jungle camo...
as for me... i got so desperate to catch a fish i even waded waist deep into the lake ...and still no luck...nuthin but fear of snake bite. neither happened. one of these days, i'll get my grrove back.
oh....here's the lake we were at
see why i was afraid of snakes? but...i didn't see any..and the water wasn't even cold. pretty lake eh?
ok...oh...after we ate dinner on sunday...guess what we saw... CAMELS! check it out !
check this out...my child actually SMILES, when she doesn't know anybody is looking ! she really loved the camels!
hubby even liked them !
he didn't like them THIS much tho ! LOL
BUT i did !
maybe more !
anyways...we also...went mini golfing...
and I WON..HA HA !!!
and, well that was about it. it was a great time. a very much needed break from life by all.
hope y'all had a good weekend too.

pics, fish, gettin away, and stuff
ola peep - les
wussup!
i have freakin shin splints from my stupid running in the storm at school the other day ! i cannot believe how out of shape i am ! shin splints. and they HURT ! worse yesterday, but still pretty bad today too. sucks man!
also...
i noticed something ... i did get some comments on my last post, and i appreciate that. i really hate to spend time posting on this thing, and most of the time, have nobody say a thing about it. but... what i noticed... y'all really don't have to be so darn polite. my daughter didn't want to answer "the question" , and my husband sort of went around it, by saying only... "that's why i try to get you to go out with me, even if you don't have a fishing license right now, you can get some sun."...how kind, and he does mean well. however , although my child was extremely hesitant, i told her that i see it, and i wouldn't be offended... she finally said that under my eyes, in the indoor picture looked "different".
so... y'all don't have to avoid that question. i already know that i look like death indoors, and outdoors there are signs of life. i am just curious as to why the difference is so noticeable. because really, it is damn strange. i even look heavier outside. how can i "shrink" by just going in the house?
ok... moving on....
here are some more...strange pix.
the first two in the first one, are me and my husband around the same age, and the third in that one is our daughter, also about the same age. my sister said , many years ago, that my husband and i looked like brother and sister ! how funny. but it is kinda odd, we sorta DO! and there is NO denying that that child is OURS. she looks like each of us. people who know me better say she looks like me, people that know hubby better say she looks like him. honestly parts of her, look like each of us.
anyhow..judge for yourselves:
okay... below is another set of similar pix of us. the ones of hubby and i were taken overseas where we met... a little over 16 years ago. and our girl was about 7. (ish)
okay.... wanna see my "big fish" pic? this is probably, no it IS the biggest bass i have ever caught. i didn't weigh him, so i don't really know. maybe 5 Lbs or so. give or take. i'd say give, at least a little. i named him "uncle George", and yes...i threw him back! he was caught in Kansas, several years ago.
how bout that for a beauty fish?
speaking of fishing... we are going to our time share this weekend! my get away .. finally. will be GONE friday afternoon til monday afternoon ! woo hoo. and i get to fish ! no phones, no computers, no dogs, or cats either, no nuthin. just US. and guess what else... it's my birthday. (well, sunday is. ) but... i don't think that's a good thing anymore. i'm getting too old to look forward to birthdays. number 41 ! ACK . oh well. shit happens. just wish me fish ! and lots of em !

photos and stuff, and tornadoes ...again
see this cute little dog? well, this is Sushi !
and...see the below picture?
well, once upon a time, those were my slippers !!!! UNTIL Sushi found them...and ATE THEM !!
i told you; she has some issues !
a couple weekends ago...i actually went outside !!!!
AND, yesterday, i got my hair cut !!!!!
And THEN.... in the midst of a bad hair day...today,
i realized something..... CRAP! I REALLY REALLY need to have hubby frost my damn hair ! ASAP !!!!!
(frosted hair photo coming soon)
i did just notice something...can anybody see the difference in my appearance inside, vs. outside?? i see it...and i hate it. i look like death warmed over. (inside) it seems the one taken outside, i just don't look so a ill.
odd huh?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
well... i just got out of the bathroom (tornado shelter) , yet again.
seems like i was just in there a couple weeks ago, with my kid and all 4 animals...oh ya...i was! only this time, hubby was in there with us! the sirens were going off and everything. wild!
it's still lightening and thundering....yikes...that was a big one! it stopped raining, and everything settled down, but i have a feeling we will probably be doing the animal round-up again sometime tonight. it's pretty bad.
earlier today, and wouldn't ya know, it was right when i needed to go pick my daughter up from school? right before it was time to leave the sky opened up on us. it was pretty hectic. and of course there were twice as many cars in line at school to get their kids in the bad weather. finally someone rolled by , don't know if it was staff, or a parent, but she drove by all the cars in line, and told us that the school wouldn't release kids until a parent went inside to get them. oh that was just great. it wa POURING rain, lightening, thundering, just insane. so, i had to get out of the car in this mess, and actually run. me! running through a terrible thunder / rain storm, in a tornado watch! i haven't actually "ran" for any reason, in literally years. i bet i looked like a jackass. or better yet, a drunk jackass. but i got in there, and i had to find my kids class...ugh. i finally found it, and by this time i was all anxiety ridden. i just wanted to get my kid home...and soon. but i find her, and she just stands there chattin it up, while i'm there calling her name...trying to get her to move her ass and get the hell home. she obviously didn't realize what was goin on. i finally got her out of there...and had to RUN back to the car...it was that or drown...or even possibly be struck by lightening. my daughter however, was too cool to be seen running across the school yard with her mother. ugh. i was almost at panic attack stage; and she didn't waste ANY time to inform me of how severely i had embarrassed her ! well, excuuuuuse the hell outta me, for trying to get you home before a tornado sucked your ass up quicker than dorothy and toto !
so, anyhow, yep. we got home ok, didn't end up in the bathroom til the few minutes i just mentioned. it was no where near as bad as the friday the 13th one...but it was just as nerve wracking.
so anyhow...needless to say....during the bad weather and having to watch the weather, i did not get my hair frosted. yet. besides i am flat exhausted, and ready to go to sleep. i don't think anything major will happen with the weather..aside from flooding. that has been pretty bad all over today.
well, i just hope i'm not gettin drug out of bed at 3 .a.m to rush into the damn bathroom again.
latah
and...see the below picture?
well, once upon a time, those were my slippers !!!! UNTIL Sushi found them...and ATE THEM !!i told you; she has some issues !
a couple weekends ago...i actually went outside !!!!
AND, yesterday, i got my hair cut !!!!!
And THEN.... in the midst of a bad hair day...today,
i realized something..... CRAP! I REALLY REALLY need to have hubby frost my damn hair ! ASAP !!!!!
(frosted hair photo coming soon)
i did just notice something...can anybody see the difference in my appearance inside, vs. outside?? i see it...and i hate it. i look like death warmed over. (inside) it seems the one taken outside, i just don't look so a ill.
odd huh?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
well... i just got out of the bathroom (tornado shelter) , yet again.
seems like i was just in there a couple weeks ago, with my kid and all 4 animals...oh ya...i was! only this time, hubby was in there with us! the sirens were going off and everything. wild!
it's still lightening and thundering....yikes...that was a big one! it stopped raining, and everything settled down, but i have a feeling we will probably be doing the animal round-up again sometime tonight. it's pretty bad.

Boring Much???
where do i begin? i have no idea. perhaps with my weekend entertainment. of sorts.
not in exact order of occurance...just the order in which things come to mind.
ok...
i watched a dvd.. EXCELLENT movie. if i wasn't so overly medicated i bet i would have shed a tear or two. it was called "the Freedom Writers".... man it was good. and inspiring. and it's a true story. i really liked it
but.... last night... i watched the dvd... black x-mas. OMG. do NOT waste your time, money , or effort on this FLOP of a "movie". it's a poorly acted, extremely predictable, and gore for the sake of gore movie... it isn't worth a second of anyones time. and i wonder of the many things i could have done instead of "waiting for something to happen"...which btw.. never did. well, nothing i didn't already know was coming. BAD movie. in every way.
i also watched the UFC-70 fight on spike tv. me and hubby both are ate up with UFC. i haven't mentioned that yet. but yep.. i actually like to watch it.
so anyhow... it was free !!! not on pay per view . so of course we watched. and man it was good. every fight was most excellent...except one. quite disappointing...even the announcers mentioned how crappy it was.
oh well. the rest was quite good. and i would have really missed out if we hadn't been able to see it. it was better than many we have paid for!
ok... next... the sopranos. it of course was good...always is. but honestly...i really think it was a bad time to show that particular episode. mainly because of a certain character who emerged. really BAD timing. anyone who saw it, knows what i'm talkin about. so i won't go further.
and last but not least of my "high" points of my weekend... wally-hell....
and boy was it HELL. thank God hubby came a long to help me. we were out of totally EVERYTHING. if he wasn't with me i bet i woulda just broke down and cried ! by the time were finished the cart weighed at least a hundred pounds...and there is no way i could have pushed that damn thing around the store, in my physical condition. i wish they would come out with little motors on grocery carts...for people who aren't quite ready to reduce themselves to a hover-round, but still have problems "pushing" heavy carts. literally, there have been times that i was shopping alone, and have parked a half full cart and LEFT without buying a thing..because i just couldn't physically handle it. which in turn made me all anxious and angry. so anyhow...or final tally???? 240.00 !!! can you believe that? that is almost double what i normally spend. and once again, i wasn't quite prepared for such a grocery/household product bill... but hubby and I both were very grateful for his job when it came time to pay. ugh. wally hell. my favorite place. NOT
OH man... i immediately got a migraine writing that last bit. how weird. i'm under way too much stress. i wish i could go to the bahamas or something. no tv, no computer, no bills, just a real get the hell away thing.
anyhow.... what did y'all do?
above is pretty much all i can remember. LOL. my senile.

BLAH
i have spent the entire day in bed... aside from a bath, and the time i spent cooking...which consisted of boiling chicken and noodles...which took little actual effort or time in the kitchen. i also watched charlottes web on dvd with hubby while we ate. but after that, i quickly retreated .. i'm back in bed. i don't plan to be removing myself from this bed until tomorrow either. possibly monday. can anyone say... depressed? well, that, is the word of the day .
perhaps the next word of the day will be "bed sores".

You Are Not Gonna Freakin Beleive THIS
YET EVEN MORE FRIDAY THE 13TH HELL
well, i had just finished a little posting, and emailing, then i went for one last email check before shutting down for the night. BUT, wouldn't ya know it.... my last email check...was not good news. not at all. my final paternal aunt, and one of my two favorite, and funnest, and just plain dearest to me, has died. everybody knew it was coming: she was elderly, and quite ill, and also in a nursing home. it's just there were other circumstances.... her daughter, and her daughters' 7 year old daughter had recently been through a severely traumatic event in their lives. they both witnessed a long time family friend beat and stab to death their husband/father...then turn on them and brutally beat them both. they were lucky to have survived themselves. the man who did this was high on crack, and was brought nto their home to be helped by them temporarily. well... this man, within the passed month or two, came to the realization of what he had done to his friends, and other innocent people during a police chase, and while in jail awaiting trial... he hung himself and HE died. and now...this. she loses her mom. on freakin friday the 13th. good Lord. but. she went peacefully apparently. and that is good. she was a good lady who always wanted the best for everybody, and she was always out to make people laugh. i still remember a lot of the silly things she did that got me to laugh. the last time i saw her...she danced in high heels at my dads' pool. she was a great lady. she will be missed. but, as long as i can keep what memories i do have of her...she will keep me laughing.
and ya know... i bet she's up there crackin jokes with my dad and her sisters right now. geesh, it's a virtual family reunion in Heaven! ha.
awwww...hubby just brought me some hot constant comment tea.. to soothe my soul (mange)... he's a sweatheart.

another heapin helpin of friday the 13th !
ya know what? i'm not a supersticeous person. see, i can't even spell it ! but anyways, i gotta admit, this is one F'D up unlucky day. i have never ... ever... ever.... feared, worried about.... or had, as lousy, or perhaps as memorable, a Friday the 13th ... in my near 41 years of this quite unlucky life ! you see, not only did i experience the earlier issues of the day... in the post below this one.... because of course blogger is backwards after all.... BUT.... would you beleive.. well, really you have no choice, because some of you surely have seen the news... we had a tornado ! yes, a tornado. in fort worth texas.. on friday the thirteenth... in the month of april ! wanna guess where i was for half an hour??? after of course.... grabbing two cats, two dogs, and my daughter, and rushing down the hall...... we spent half an hour in a very small bathroom !!!! extremely small. and... wouldn't ya know it... hubby was driving home from work ! his car is all dented up from the baseball sized hail !!! the house sounded like it was being bombed... so of course my girl and i were worried to death about him driving in that crap. the cell phones wouldn't work so i couldn't get through to find out how or where he was. it was a very long .... noisy... anxiety ridden half hour. day. life. whatever.
also, a day i am sure i won't forget any time soon.
but.... time has passed, and right now hubby is cooking dinner... obviously he is fine... little sick... and mad about his car... but it's an OLD car, and my car didn't get messed up neither did his truck or the boat. so it's all good. and of course my girl is okay. she still feels sick, but she was happy her dad got home ok. and her animals are ok. hopefully her meds will kick in soon and she will feel better.
as for me. i just wanna eat and sleep this day out of my mind. i always complain about my bad memory...well, i'll tell ya what... i sure wouldn't mind if i could forget this entire day.

Definately Friday The 13TH
man, i'll tell ya what. this is not a kind day. it is only 2 in the afternoon, and i feel once again like the Lunch Special at Hell's Cafe. I don't even know where to begin, or end with it. i will say though that only like five or ten minutes before i was supposed to leave to go get my daughter from school, to take her to the dr appointment...the dr. office called, and told me that i had to call the insurance company. i only had like 35 minutes til the appointment time, mind you. we both knew i would spend probably that much time on HOLD, but it had to be done. so, what happens? i immediately, that second, before i even hang up the phone with the dr office... i go straight into panic mode. not good. i mean like full blown anxiety attack. (not panic...not the bad/ oh i'm having a heart attack, i'm gonna die one...but the can't think, can't talk, stammering, hands shaking, fast heart beat etc kind of thing.) so anyhow i'm calling the insurance people... i get put on HOLD...of course. i expected nothing less, but it still pissed me off. i sat there for at least ten minutes before a human got on the line. it took another ten minutes to get her to ... what i thought ... to understand what i needed her to do... apparently she did nOT understand. well, she gives me "another" number to call. so... i write down this new number... just to the side of the number i had just called her at... the thing was... as i was writing...and even as i was looking at it to call it...i did not realize something... the number she gave me , was the exact same freakin number i had just called HER at !!! i didn't notice it til i was , yep... on HOLD... for another ten minutes. i got someone on the line... who was apparently stoned. or perhaps, a bit "slow"? i had to get a supervisor before i cracked up. my anxiety was at hospital admission level by this time. i had been on the phone, and now with the third person forever... simply to change primary care provider name on my daughter... is THAT so difficult? it wasn't. it literally took less than four minutes. FOUR! yet i was on the phone for nearly thirty. THIRTY. and i still had to go get my kid from school and to the dr... in like five minutes? wasn't gonna happen. so i was a wreck. a mental case. i already can't think straight enough to drive anywhere. so here i was going some place i've never been. and even with the directions.... yep you guessed it... i got lost..... TWICE! my daughter kept saying.. mom calm down!!! it's not that big a deal. etc etc. she really was trying to help. but i was going mental. mother instilled it in me to NEVER keep her waiting! and in so doing.. i have a terrible fear of being late, or keeping anyone waiting. perhaps the military fed that fear too. but anyhow.. yep it was bad. i was all shakey and frustrated, and confused. blech. well, we did get there. by the way. and being a new patient, of course.. the curse ya know... well i had to fill out a ton of papers... with shakey hands, and no concentration level, not to mention the fact that i was in a rush. what a disaster. i'm surprised they could even read that chicken scratch! soooooo. there we are. all ready. and late of course. so , we wait. and we wait. aaand... we waiiiit. aaaand waaaaait. and our 11 o'clock appt turned into a almost 12 o'clock appt. i hate to be kept waiting! LOL
so anyhow... the first five minutes was spent with the doc walking in and i look at her...and she at me...and i say dumbfoundedly... you look familiar...she says...you do too. so we banter back and forth trying to figure out why/where/how...to no avail...so we finally gave up trying, due to time constraints and gave her attention to the sick child. after all, that was why we were there .
SO.... after some tests, questions, history, etc...and also..she put her on a "nebulizer" machine for a few minutes. it was determined to be bronchitis. (causing asthma like symptoms). earlier in the discussion...the word asthma...... scared the shit out of me ! i also had to discuss my first son dying from asthma..which i don't talk about much at all to anybody. so there i was, already all anxiety ridden, but somewhat calmer than on the ride there...but now... i'm thinking SHIT. i already "lost" one kid to asthma... now does THIS one have it too? can you say PANIC ?????
good LORD. so all the while she's on the nebulizer, i'm having little flashbacks of my son...and flash-forwards of my daughter...and feeling all guilty for being a smoker. and just in full swing panic attack mode. xanax time. but i had to wait. so anyhow.... like i said. after the "neb" thing, daughter could breathe better...so doc said bronchitis was restricting her lungs etc etc/ gave her a bunch of meds, and sent us on our way. with much releif i must say. i am so glad it is not asthma! but that was all i needed to hear to get the kick in the ass i need to , if not quit smoking.. then to at least not smoke around my child. ugh. well. so far, that's about my/our day. throw in some back pain and a tooth ache (oral cyst ache actually) on top of that there panick attack..flashbacks...and sick kid... and what do you get? Friday the 13th of course.
later peeps

BTW... this would be number one on hubbys' wanna see my scar list... a post that i plan to put up soon.

MAMMA TOLD ME THERE'D BE DAYS LIKE THIS!
hello folks... did you miss me?
i was soo ill yesterday i couldn't stand myself. i had that migraine...which actually went away soon after the imitrex... BUT when i did eventually go back to bed..at about 830 a.m , i only slept about an hour and a half or two. no where near what i expected... or needed. so, in turn, what happened? i spent the rest of the day all depressed, and tired... and wouldn't ya know it... at about 6 p.m i got ANOTHER freakin migraine ! this time i took the shot before my head exploded. which was a good move. it went away, and i was able to get some sleep last night. but, this morning.. all three of us are sick ! sore throats, headaches (mines at least not a migraine this morning, nothing an aspirin won't knock out).. runny noses, runny throats, just blechy. and hubby is a pilot instructor.. who has to teach, and talk all day for 8 hours. that will be just great if he loses his voice. he said he had trouble yesterday talking so much. so i'm sure today will be worse.; if he can't talk...he can't teach...if he can't teach...yup you guessed it...he can't work! wonderful. and the daughter... well, she is just positive she's dying ! ugh. and me? well... it doesn't matter if mom's sick.. if the rest of the bunch is sick... y'all know... mom's last on the list for any sympathy OR care. so.. today, i have to try to get my kid to the doc.. before she thinks we don't care that she is sick... because she swears she has pneumonia, and we don't care about that! so... in all of my pain and illness around here... my alter ego is showing "itself".... see below! "my precious".

THIS pretty much sucks
that photo, above, would be about how i feel right now. in fact, it's how i have felt for about the last 8 hours or so. i ate dinner with a migraine, and i watched a movie with it, as it worsened, and i tried to go to sleep...for about two hours...as it only worsened even further. or tonight , technically. i didn't fall asleep til well after midnight, and it is now 245 a.m... and here i sit. still nauseas. after getting up on a mad search for my imitrex shots ! i almost gave up, and tried motrin, knowing they wouldn't touch it, but finally remembered i had seen a shot in my desk a few days ago... i looked, and voila! there it was! i promptly shoved the shot into my thigh with eager anticipation of prompt relief..which i hope to feel very soon. i also hope to be returning to bed without a headache as soon as that happens. i should have just taken a dang shot early and went to bed last night at the onset of this stupid migraine...like i'm supposed to. but did i? noooo. had to cook, spend time with the family...or should i say hubby...i do have a thirteen year old who lives in her own world these days, so she pretty much ignored both of us most of the night anyways. but i did the best i could until i felt it was not too extremely early to go to bed. maybe tenish. but it still took forever to actually fall asleep.but, i don't think i have anything major to do tomorrow, other than a few phone calls, and emails, etc, no driving or anything/ other than to school etc. so i should be able to grab a nap, which i am sure i will desperately be in need of by no later than noon. if i make it even that far. i may just take the girl to school, and go back to bed. then i can worry about my business stuff later on. man, this is crap. i knew i shoulda got off my laze last night and took a shot BEFORE bed. then i wouldn't be sitting here right now. in pain, worrying about "tomorrow"...which is actually today... in about three hours. UGH. maybe i'll be better off just staying up for a while until i get back from school, then go back to bed. would you make up my mind already?
well... i suppose i shall write later, sometime.
til then...

a day late and a dollar short as usual
ok, here it is... my kids' Easter present.
is it not the cutest thing ever?
i forgot about the frog in the basket with the chicks
but they all three jump up and down, and
sing... "let's go to the hop" !
I LOVE IT!
OK... anyways... what else is goin on here? well, i have been sleeping later than usual... near 630-7 a.m but that is good! but, i have also been taking almost daily naps again! what is up with that? once in a while, i like a nice nap... but i do not like to be exhausted for no real reason, and HAVE to take a nap. ugh. never satisfied, am i? oh well.
so, yesterday, we did manage to get hubbys med records from his hernia surgery... and guess what... he DOESN"T have the KUGEL patch! he has another one, called the "Marlex plug patch" . again, this, is gooooood. i googled it, and no lawsuits for that company, or recalls, etc. so, hubby is ok. aside from the fact that his symptoms, must be leaning towards something else. he will just love his first colonoscopy !!!! but i think it's something he should look into. i've had one... and trust me they aint no fun at all! it's actually the "prepping" that is the worst part. ie drinking A entire gallon of the most God awful stuff you've EVER tasted... which by the way will make you puke...but you have to continue to drink the crap. (skuze the pun)... also, laxatives of two or three types... and of course the outcome.. LOL.. again.. skuze the pun! but ya... two days of THAT? OMG. the actually procedure...you don't even know it's begun, til it's over! so ya. two days on the potty... and the meds etc beforehand... BLECH!
so anyways, yep, i think that will have to be his next trip to the doc. because something just is not right with this guy. BUT, at least he isn't dying from some stupid thing they put inside of him.
hmmmm, what else? i did manage to take care of some other things yesterday...like paying some bills, arguing with the cable company..and losing...i still had to pay almost 240.00 for freakin cable/internet !!!! i really thought it was a billing mistake. it wasn't. ACK. i think pretty soon, i just may have no cable or internet. i don't care that much about tv to pay that much stinkin money for it.
so, by the time we finished at the hospital, went to the cable place, and gave them a small fortune, we paid another bill...and right when we were on our way to get groceries... we decided that we were both just too hungry to shop. we knew we would buy a bunch of junk food that would be gone in three days... so what did we do? yep...went to lunch! it was good too...italian. a place we've never been. BUT... by the time we left the restaurant, you just KNOW i was full, tired, sore, and ready for my nap! so... we did not make it to the grocery store. at all. we are on like day four now... with little more than top ramen and bologna, and a few slices of stale bread left in this house. sooooo yep. i must go face wally hell, once again. and you know i do not want to. i think i'm gonna hire someone to go shop for me once a week! that's how much i hate it!
so ya. that's about it for now.
more latah perhaps.
so, yesterday, we did manage to get hubbys med records from his hernia surgery... and guess what... he DOESN"T have the KUGEL patch! he has another one, called the "Marlex plug patch" . again, this, is gooooood. i googled it, and no lawsuits for that company, or recalls, etc. so, hubby is ok. aside from the fact that his symptoms, must be leaning towards something else. he will just love his first colonoscopy !!!! but i think it's something he should look into. i've had one... and trust me they aint no fun at all! it's actually the "prepping" that is the worst part. ie drinking A entire gallon of the most God awful stuff you've EVER tasted... which by the way will make you puke...but you have to continue to drink the crap. (skuze the pun)... also, laxatives of two or three types... and of course the outcome.. LOL.. again.. skuze the pun! but ya... two days of THAT? OMG. the actually procedure...you don't even know it's begun, til it's over! so ya. two days on the potty... and the meds etc beforehand... BLECH!
so anyways, yep, i think that will have to be his next trip to the doc. because something just is not right with this guy. BUT, at least he isn't dying from some stupid thing they put inside of him.
hmmmm, what else? i did manage to take care of some other things yesterday...like paying some bills, arguing with the cable company..and losing...i still had to pay almost 240.00 for freakin cable/internet !!!! i really thought it was a billing mistake. it wasn't. ACK. i think pretty soon, i just may have no cable or internet. i don't care that much about tv to pay that much stinkin money for it.
