Another weekend with the kiddies...

Had a great weekend with the kids. My youngest boy spilled coffee all over the keyboard so we had to get another. He asked if we were mad at him. I had to tell him that we weren't because I have spilled stuff on our previous keyboard and ruined it. So like mother like son. What can I say I can be a klutz at times.

And this past thursday at work my manager broke my glasses. Which wasn't good cause they were the only pair that i had. I did manage to find my contacts which are seven years old. They helped me to see a little bit better but not much.

I did have fun at work tonight tho. Dave and Eric were letting off firecrackers and bottle rockets again. We did go out the back door to let off a bottle rock and wouldn't you know a sheriff's car rounds the corner to go through the drive through. Well, needless to say we all made a mad dash towards the back door. Eric said "well that wasn't obvious at all". We all cracked up for about 5 minutes.


A few words to ponder................

Here I sit on this thorn,
Whilst I sleep upon this rock,
When I take a walk in the sky,
Here on the ground I do fly.

ITs friday for me!

I know today is thursday but for me its friday. I don't work fridays, saturdays, or sundays. WOOHOO!!! for me! Yesterday at work was a bad night for me so I had hubby get me some white russians for me to drink on the way home. I only drank one though because I hadn't really eaten anything all day so I knew it would go straight to my head and it did! Besides, that was the first drink i've had in a long while.

Oh yeah, I finally made my mixed cd to play at work. Tonight when i get home I will post the songs. Its a good listen.

Oh What a Day.

How come parents when they get older are bound and determined, or so it seems, to drive you freakin up the wall. I just want to pull my hair and slap him with it. He is definitely an old fart and he is more moodier than me. Its just crazy. Crazy I tell you.

Wednesday was my Monday

You know that saying "I hate mondays" or even have said it yourself. I believe I've seen a sticker or two with "I hate mondays".

Well, today was my monday. It didn't start off bad but boy oh boy it ended bad. It was a horrible day. Just bleeeech! Ok..work was bad. I kept getting stuff wrong. At one point, I had a slight moment of feeling like i just needed to run out of there screaming. Yeah it was that bad. Well I get off work and proceed home. Hubby was driving which is his "marriage occupation" He the man, him drive. Well it stopped snowing. We got about an inch in like 4 hours. So the roads were a little slick on the way home. We starting going down a tiny hill. We we started to slide towards the right. The car just kept sliding so Rob turned into the slide and just keep the car on level ground. Good thing to our right was a corn field. No corn its winter here. Ok...so for about 200 or so feet, we were travelling in the corn field. It wasn't cool but kind of cool feeling.

So then we get about 3 miles from home. 3 miles. thats all. Run out of gas. The car started gurgling and losing power. Then the engine, you can feel its shake shake shaaake thing going. and Hubby says....."I think we are getting ready to run out of gas." Well, after what he said sank in I breathed a sigh. The day just couldn't any worse. I couldn't wait to get home from work and have some coffee and make something to eat. I was thirsty and hungry. Didn't want to eat at work because fast food makes you fat. Me no fats wants to be. And we run out of gas. out of gas I tell ya. My hubby knew how much of a phobia/fear of mine to run out of gas. Don't know why, it just is. So we pull over into a drive way and called my dad with whom we live. He's old, he needs lots of help and stubborn so we moved in here with him. Anyways, it takes like 10 minutes of calling him 8 times on cell phone for him to answer the phone. Well, he comes to where were are. Let me tell you this, my dad is illiterate. Can't read and can only write his name. Which makes his reading of road signs and such not possible. So i had to tell we were a little ways above the house on the corner that the two sisters lived and that they died within days of each other when they were both in their nineties. Then he knew where we were. So he comes picks me up we go about 3 miles up the road to UDF. Thank you for being 24 hours. We filled the portable gas tank took back to car. Hubby filled up and we proceed home where I made coffee and something to eat than sat down at computer and got my 420 on. Thank you to gods of nature for bringing us to utopia for a small spell of our lives.

"Your so Vain, i think this song is about you..."

I had a great and wondrous thing happen to me and my conscious self...

a realization.

and wouldn't you know it, but talking with my husband he told me what it was....

At the time, i was sitting in front of the computer. Our dresser sits right next to it and it has a mirror. So when I face to the left I can see myself in the mirror. Well, i was doing exactly this , while brushing my hair and I asked the stupid question "Honey, am I vain?" Well, as soon as it came out of my mouth and I knew I shouldn't have said it. Even thought of it. This is one of those questions a wife should never ask her husband. NEVER! Its in the same catergory as "Honey, I am getting fat?" . Starting to see the picture, im trying to paint with words??

Anyways, what i realized in the depths of this conversation, I realized he was right. But only about 2 things. My eyes and my hair. I really love looking at those things in the mirror. Ok, i figured the reason for this. I get complimented on them, not bragging, just stating fact. You can ask my husband. So I'm thinking that for this reason, I try different ways to enhance and deepen the look of my eye. You know, make them more of what they are. On the second thing, my hair, its because my hair has finally grown back out after being short for 2 years. Im glad to have my long, flowing locks back. I really regretted having my hair short. When I first had it done, my hubby cried for three days. (obviously he loved my hair long) I think i look better with longer hair. It has a sleek, deep brown look. Very touchable. (see I told you i was vain about my hair...next time you'll listen :)) So i've been brushing my hair alot and have been using better hair care products. I only use Thermasilk shampoo and conditioner. And two or three times a week I use one of those flat heating irons. Very nice, you should get one. It makes my hair very shiny and sleek looking.

So that was my realization....that i am vain. I think everyone has a little of vain in them. Human nature I say. We're all supposed to have self-confidence. So my hair and my eyes are two things about me that boost my self-confidence. Or could one propose that self-confidence--can too much be a bad thing?? Hmmmm...a little brain food to ponder.....

little food for thought

You know whats really bothersome.....when your joking around with a friend and its something that you've always joked around with..nothing meant to be hurtful just joking and they take it to heart.

well, im sorry if i hurt your feelings or annoyed you in anyway and lets leave it at that.

and while we were on the subject of friends, its not like were really good friends or great friends, we are pretty much online friends only and I have plenty of online friends. It would be nice to have actual friends that are supposedly friends that you actually do things with. Not just speak to each other online to every once in awhile. You Actually do things with them. I haven't even seen in person this friend since last october. Thats just strange if you ask me but since you didn't I will shut up now and go watch tv.
