~6-27-05~ Why me????????

well i have hand herpes again, and i am miserable!!!!!!!!


i looked for a previous post on the topic and it must have been before my blog. so here is a short version.



i got these itchy, painful tiny little blisters all on my finger. it sort of fraked me out and i didn't know what was up and didn't want to "give anything" to clay so i went to statcare. this doctor looked at my finger for about 2 seconds and tolpd me i had shingles. i don't remember what he gave me or what i did. no biggie. later i told my regular doctor about it and she said it probably wasn't shingles, but something-somthing doctor talk. but she didn't get to see it thought, it was already healed.


well this past tues. or wednesdasy i got that itchy feeling again, but this time it was the other hand and it was the insides of my 1st and 2nd finger. i was like great, here we go. but no blisters. they sort of felt a bit swollen, and it was aggitating my ring finger (wedding ring), so i took that off, which HURT LIKE HELL!!!! i didn't think it was coming off! then friday the blilsters came, and saturday even worse, sunday horrendous. my fingers were VERY swollen, i can't bend them, and it is spreading to my other fingers and palm.

so i was surely going to call the doctor today. well clay is NOT going to sleep well STILL, and he woke up 2 times last night around 1 and 1:30. then his ass was up at 5am AGAIN TODAY!!!!!!!!!!! my hand was numb, tingling, and just plain hurt!!! so i just took my ass to the emergency room. i wanted something for it NOW!!!

the er was actually NOT busy i was very pleased and surprised, especially since i wanted to try and be home for bob to get to work on time.

i think i saw a dead guy. i don't know for sure, but he sure looked it!!! i don't know if the ambulance just brought him in or what, or WHY the curtain was open. i just looked away and tried to think happy thoughts, which i can't do there!! that is where my dad passed away, and going back to the actual er beds, you pass the "family consultation room". which is the worst place i have ever been in my life!!! that hospital has changed a bazzillion times, with all new additions and what not. i wish they would just tear that fucking room down!! i hate it!!!!!


anyways......it didn't take long for a nurse to come and "not" listen to me. then a few after that the FIRST doctor came in looked asked questions the nurse already asked, then said he didn't think it was shingles. he said it could be but he doubted it. so a few more later the next doctor came in, asked the SAME questions i had already answered TWICE, then he said YES it was shingles!!!!!

why can noone give me a straight answer?!?!?! and i KNOW there is a test that can be done!!!! i looked it up here on the internet!! of course i didn't say anything, i just wanted my drugs and i wanted to go home.

THANK GOD FOR WALMART AND THEIR 24 HOUR PHARMACY!!!! that is a few blocks from the hospital so i zoomed over there, got my pills and made it home by 7:30am! quickest trip ever for going to the ER. i swear it must be a world record!!!!


so i have a zillion pills to take. i have some steroid type thing that is just confusing. i have to take 3 a day for 3 days, then 2 a day for 3 days, then 1 a day for 3 days, then i think 1/2 for 4 days!!!!! WHAT?!?!?! i'm sure i will remember that! actually i wrote it on the calendar with times i should take it, so that way i will.

then i got some vicodin, which i think blows! i don't know how people get addicted. they don't make me high, and so far when i have taken them, they didn't even get rid of my pain! oh well i got 10 of those in case it gets worse, like he said it was going to, GREAT!!!!!

then i got some valtrex. the herpe medicine. well the other 2 came to about $3 a piece. that damn valtrex came to almost $36!!! i said WOW, did my insurance NOT cover that?? he said my insurance DID cover over HALF of it. it is usually like $80!!!!! for big ass blue horse pills i have to take 3 TIMES A DAY!!!!! i hate taking pills. not so much hate it, but my throat does not like swallowing them, so it is a mess!

so hopefully i will be getting better soon!!! this is just awful. if i knew it was going to be like this i would have went to the doctor RIGHT away!!!!

and i am all freaked out about giving clay chicken pox!!! i really don't want to deal with that right now! so i bought a damn box of latex gloves! fingers crossed. well yours, i can't even bend mine. you should see how fun it is typing right now! ha! i guess the good thing is that it is on my left hand, i would really be screwed if it were on the right.


so boo-hoo for me. that was my pity party.


had people come and look at the house today. i think they took some of my vicodin!!!! bob said he only took 3, but i am missing 5. we all know how bob is though, so i don't know. hell i'll give the people a whole bottle of it if they buy my damn house!!!!!


this flippin disease is also costing a lot of money!!! i don't feel like cooking since i can't move my hand, so we have been eating out. bob and i are pigs, so it costs about $20 a night! i think we are going on night 5 tonight! that is ridiculous!!!! also running out of places to go! for take out that is. i think he is going to subway tonight, blah, i don't much care for it since they changed their bread. but i am really not that hungry anyways.


i did finally start to watch some new shows. i am very pissed that i missed the first episode of the new average joe. and that hilton thing, i don't really care about that, but at least it is something to watch!!!! so i caught up on the scholar, it is ok. and the cut, it is ok too, but there is just something about tommy hilfiger that gets to me. i don't like looking at him!!!! don't know if i mentioned beauty and the geek, i think that is funny. and dancing with the stars, don't much care for that. i'd rather watch REAL ballroom dancing. still haven't started with hell's kitchen, and i think i missed a few episodes.

not long and big brother will be starting! woo-hoo!! lord, am i pathetic! but how that show saved my life. well not really saved, but the first season was on when bob and i broke up, and i moved out on my own. GOD i was sooooooooo BORED and LONELY!!! and i DIDN'T have cable!!!!!!!!!!!!!! big brother was shown 24 hours a day on live feed on realplayer. i would sit there all night just watching these people. feeling like "one of them". now THAT is really pathetic!!!!! but i don't know what i would have done without it. probably have went insane!!!! so i have a soft spot in my heart for big brother. even thought they screwed it up!!!! the first season, the public called in and voted people out of the house. now it is all survivor-ish. and people are voted out by the others in the house.


well i can't type anymore. my hand is throbbing. so i will just post some pictures of my cutie!!

take care!!

Gettin ready to mow

Aren't they too cute!

My cutie!!

~6-22-05~ AGAIN!!!!

bedtime last night was a TERROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i guess, it was partly MY fault. WHEN i FINALLY got clay to take a nap yesterday, i laid down also, that was about 2pm. well i didn't get up til bob called, that was after 4, then i fell back to sleep and didn't get up til about 4:30. so clay slept late. so i was sort of knowing we'd be in for it, but LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!

i put him down at the normal time around 9pm, that child would NOT stay in his room!!! every 2 minutes he was downstairs. finally at about 11pm, i made bob take the gate from the living room and put it across his door. well that did NOT go over well! clay did not like that one bit!!!!!!!!!!! he screamed, hollored, threw a tantrum, then next thing i knew HE WAS DOWNSTAIRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we intentionally put the gate up higher so he could not climb over it, since he is officailly now in a monkey phase and can climb anywhere or anything. so i took him back up, locked him in and went to the bathroom. as i was doing my thing i heard his door open, so i sat and watched. that little shit shimmied out of the bottom. there is like a 3 inch gap there!!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't know how i finally got him to stay in there, but he did not go to sleep until about midnight!!!!!!!!!! mind you people the other night i was in bed before 11:30!!!!!!!!!

so i didn't make it to bed til about 1. of course i am up at every fucking instance of bob's cell phone alarm going off, starting at like 5am!!!!!!!!!!!!! then next thing i know there is clay in my face "MOM", i look at the clock, 6 fucking 30!!!!!!

are these 2 intentionally trying to drive me insane?!?!?!?!?!? so i wasn't in a good mood today.

i had started walking. saturday bob, clay and i walked to the park. sunday, we took about a 45 minute walk around the neighborhood, monday we went to the park and i walked around the track about 1 1/2 times, tuesday we went to the park, i may have walked the equivilent of once around.....but i was doing good, trying to do something energetic. even though 99% of it was to TIRE my child out so he would nap. well that was all for not, cause now my child is fixated with the stroller. all he wants to do is be in it. he used to LOVE walking, now he just wants pushed. that sure doesn't tire him out, but it sure does mom!!!!!

but today we didn't do a damn thing. i would have just crashed on the couch all day, but since we put the gate upstairs i can't contain him downstairs and he goes right for EVREYTHING he cannot have when i am trying to relax. namely everything under the sink that can be sprayed....all over everything!!!!! so no resting for me.

so i sucked it up, ate some cereal and we went outside for a bit. then came the whole nap thing.

well i moved the damn gate down so no more crawling underneath. and then he would just start opening and slamming the door. i was trying to just ignore him, i had already been in there about a dozen times!!! and by this point it was 1:30!!!!!! so finally i just went out and smoked a cigarette. i came back up, he was still up, room DESTROYED, everything everywhere, i just yelled at him to get to sleep and i went to the bathroom. i didn't hear him much while i was in there. so i didn't know what he was doing. then i was afraid to come out of the bathroom, cause the door is sort of loud, so is the floor, and he is a light sleeper! so i inched open the door and i saw that his door was open.....FUCK! i didn't hear anything though. so i quietly tried to sneak across the squeaky floor to see where he was and to close his door. well he was/is asleep right in front of the gate on the floor!!!! FUCK!!! now i can't close the door. and i am too afraid to try and walk past his room, well not now really it is after 3 now, he WILL be getting up shortly. so i am getting NO nap today!!!!!!!!!!


so that is it. all the excitement that has been going on here. woo-hoo, can you stand it?! i know you are jealous! ha!!


still NOTHING about my house..[he is up now]....that is pissing me off!!! i wnat out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the longer we stay here the more shit we keep doing. which costs money that i don't want to put into this place. we bought a bird bath, feeder and more flowers, so we made a new little garden thing in the front yard. meanwhile the inside keeps getting messier and messier!!!!!! we are having another open house on the 29th i believe.....joy!!!! PLEASE SOMEONE BUY MY DAMN HOUSE ALREADY!!!!

which i guess we aren't all set anyways......i need those bankruptcy papers i think i told ya'll about for the loan guy. i got bob's from his lawyer, it is costing $25! then she told me if i have to go through the bankruptcy court to get what i need for me, it will cost at LEAST $40!!!!!! for one fucking piece of paper that says my bankruptcy has been discharged!!!!!!!!!! that is just....[just got a call for a showing of the house, next monday at 3]....bullshit. it is literally 1 piece of paper!!!!!!!!

and what the fuck, i just remembered that i called and left a message with some lawyer yesterday and he never returned my phone call!!!! my lawyer quit the business or something like that years ago, so there is no way to get my file. i don't know if he gave all his stuff to his "partner" or what. so the guy i tried to get in touch with yesterday, is who i believe may have been his partner. yeah, i should call back, but i just hate dealing with people!!!!


then bob called today to say his contract didn't pass. which in a way is good. we didn't want it to. they were trying to dick us out of our free medical insurance. thier big thing was they were covering 90% cost with 10% to us, but there was also a $2000 yearly decductable. so basically we would have to pay $2000 before we got the rest free. so if we were to use that it sure wouldn't be free!!!!! i think they also upped the deductable for perscriptions too, which sucks!

as far as i understood, which i didn't much of what was written, the rest seemed ok to me. i just want my damn medical, and i want my husband to have a job!!!! hopfully they will have a re-write to try and appease everyone. their current contract isn't up til october. i really don't want a damn strike!!!! so hopefully they work something out!!!


well, i have to go get my child, i think he may have went back to sleep, but it is time to wake up, so bedtime goes more smoothly tonight!!


take care everyone!!

~6-18-05~ Proof

that i am smarter!!!!!!!!


here is bob's iq test

Your IQ Is 110

Your Logical Intelligence is Exceptional Your Verbal Intelligence is Exceptional Your Mathematical Intelligence is Above Average Your General Knowledge is Above Average

A Quick and Dirty IQ Test

~6-18-05~ Woo-hoo!!

my child slept in today til about 7am! yee-haw!! i was excited, even though i was still up on and off before that. this stupid thing i have in his bed kept going off. i don't know if he was actually doing it or was just bumping it, so i was still up! but it was nice not to be jumped on or elbowed to death until after 7am!!!


he didn't even go to bed til almost 10pm last night. we got home late, we were at a neighbor's. there was this little boy there, he was 4, oh my!!! those 2 were just running around and playing it was great!!!!!!!!!!! finally a boy for him to play with!!!!!!!! and they did just what clay always wants, he just wants to run and chase and be chased. little girls just don't get that. it was wonderful, i was so happy for him, he had such a good time. except then when we got home he was extremely tired, and whinny!!!!! but he finally slept somewhat good!


he and bob are at the store now. i was going to take bob to dinner tonight for father's day, mom said she would sit with clay, but he decided to do steaks on the grill, so he is out shopping for steaks and doughnuts.


hopefully when they get back we will go to the park, i'm really looking forward to that. aside from the money aspect, it is nice having bob home on a saturday. i know he was really looking forward to it. i don't even remember the last time he didn't work a saturday.


so i am dressed and ready to go, so now i am sitting here bored waiting for them!


also today i think we are getting a toddler bed from my cousin. i'm planning on bob going and getting that while i am TRYING to put clay down for a nap. i don't know if it will solve any of our sleeping problems or not, but we will see. and i am sure it is time anyways. i was hoping to wait til we moved, but god knows when that will be, so might as well get it out of the way now. i really wanted to put our full bed in there for him, but i had one in that room before (small room!) and it takes up almost the whole thing. so guess we will just go with the toddler bed. when we move i will use the full bed, that will save me $200 plus on this toddler bed set that i did want to get for him, damn is it CUTE!!!!!!


oh well, i guess i should go clean while i am waiting for them. this past week with the PRE-dawn waking hours and NO naps, my house is getting back to how it used to be. it has been over 3 weeks now and my house has stayed pristine! so i better get on it.

have a good weekend! take care!

~6-18-05~ Thanks

Yeah, i was wrong!

my child WASN'T sleeping.......

THIS is what he was doing, hence the reason he was being so quiet!

I'm lucky i'm so cute!!

Scene of the crime

Nice butt mark

~6-17-05~ Maybe

i don't know if my son is asleep or not. i got tired of lying in bed listening to him. i had to go in a few times, then i just said screw it. i had some bills to take care of. so far he hasn't come out, so whatever!!


bob got his vacation pay today. WOO-HOO!!!!! lord how nice would it be if his checks were like that every pay!!!!!!!!!


so now i am paying off some credit cards, getting some others paid down and trying to keep some in savings, just cause you never know. i don't know if it is better to have some $ in savings or to pay things off. i think i heard it is better to pay stuff off when you have the $. i just want to have a bit in savings since IF/when we ever move, you never know what we are going to need. i only owe about $600 on my eyes. that should be paid off in jan 06, but they charge interest of course, and installment fees, so i think i am just gonna pay that one. same with the work on bob's car. it is no interest for 6 months, but i just hate having $150 payment each month. i also owe my mom $1000. i know i can pay her whenever, but again, i want to get rid of as many monthly payments as i can. especially if i am going to have a double house payment IF/when we ever move!!!! god it sucks how quickly money goes once you get it!!!!


i was going to cancel a few of my cards, but i hate doing that. i always feel that as soon as i do that something is going to happen and i am going to need them!! i was really concerned to get rid of some to improve my credit score, but now since we "supposedly" can get a lower interest rate going FHA i really don't have to worry about it. hell, i think i am going to do it anyways! if they are there, there is always a chance they will be used. i am almost down to 3 and that is all i want. so that is it. after i am done here i am cancelling them.


well i just heard a noise from clay so i assume he is still up in there.


oh well........better get on this stuff before he comes out and starts harassing me, then nothing will get done!!


here comes my child, so i am outta here!

well that didn't last too long

he is up already! not even an hour....so, i may still try and give him a nap around 1

~6-17-05~ ????

ok, it is about 9:30am, ny child is ASLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he just cralwed up on the couch with me where i was half asleep, i looked over at him and his eyes were going shut.


so i just let him be. i figured he can sleep for a few hours and then i just won't try and give him an afternoon nap. i just don't know what to do!!!!!!!!!!


watch grandpa come over early today and be here at 10! AGH!!! i would be pissed!!!!

well i am going myself and napping. see ya!!!

~6-17-05~ SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!

well i have been whinning about clay getting up EVERY day this week at 6:30 AM!!!!!

well today he was kind enough to get up at 5:20 AM!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the fuck?!?! really?!?!?!

the kicker is he wouldn't take his ass to bed last night. i had to put him back about 10 times. he didn't finally go to sleep til after 10 pm.

ok people with kids.....is this normal?????????????


i know kids get up early, i have "sort of" dealt with the 6:30 getting up, but you think his little ass would be tired by 1pm, so he would take a freaking nap without fighting me for an hour. then you think he would surely be tired enough to sleep by 10 pm!!!!!!!!!

actually last night was "sort of" my fault. his naps have been getting a little less frustrating, i only have to go put him back in bed once or twice, he is usually asleep by 1pm, then SO AM I!!!!! then he gets up at about 3-3:30, fine. well yesterday he, and i, didn't get up til about 4:30....well i got up then went and woke him up. so i figured that bedtime wasn't going to go well...that was an understatement!!!!!


lord i need a nanny!!!! just from 6-9am, i'd be happy!!!!


well now i need to go see how much breakfast is on my living room carpet!


have a good day!!!!!

~6-14-05~ What a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well it wasn't even 8am today and i had already cleaned up poop and a whole bottle of nail polish (my child is obsessed, much to bob's dismay)!!!!


YES my child was up early again!!!!!!!!!!

and i suppose the mess this morning was partly my fault, since i was still in bed, but isn't a child supposed to be able to play in his room by himself?!?! i am a VERY light sleeper, he isn't going to go downstairs or whatever without me hearing him. and i DIDN'T hear him, that should have been the first sign that he was doing something he shouldn't be. like he would really play quietly in his room! STUPID ME!!!!

so he runs in my room grabbing his butt saying "poop, poop!" i forgot that bob took his diaper off when he was up with him, why a new one wasn't put on i don't know. so i jump up thinking he has to go poop, i seen some on his butt. so i put him on his potty, and i sit to go, then i see that his hands are SILVER!!!!!!! i'm like what the fuck?!?!?! i see his "dummy" aka lawnmower and it is COVERED with it, it is also on the carpet!! DAMN IT!!!!!!! so i go in his room to see what else is going on and i see a big pile of POOP that i just drug the door across, so now it too is on the door!!!!!

so that was lovely! my house STILL smells like nail polish remover, and i just had to get some off of the monitor as well!!!!


and to make it even better i JUST got him to sleep and have been up here since BEFORE 1:30!!!!!!!! what really pisses me off is that when we were doing our normal naptime/bedtime routine...sitting on the rocker, eating chewies and watching some cartoons, HE WAS FALLING ASLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was all like COOL, this should be no problem today!!!! yipeeee!!! UNTIL i tried to bring him up to bed, he threw a royal fit!! then sure wasn't tired anymore!!!!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! but he is down now, and as much as i HATE waking him up from naps, he is getting up at 4! hopefully we won't have to redo last night as well. i just don't understand. everything on the sleeping front was going soooooooo well. it stresses me out!!!!!!!!!!


THEN earlier today when i got the mail, she had a registered letter for bob. so i open it and it is from when he was in that accident a WHILE back, well his insurance has paid out all that it is alotted. so GREAT!!!!!!! are we going to get sued now for what ever the hell else the cost is?!?!?!?!?!?!?! so now i am really freaking out about that one!!!!!!!!! i have no extra money for shit like that!!!!!!!! FUCKING BOB!!!! the shit that he gets into that affects me, i just want to shoot him!!


what else......no biggie, but the people who were supposed to come look at the house tomorrow had to cancel, which i am not too upset about cause if i am up at 6:30 again tomorrow, i think my body/brain is really going to shut down! and it doesn't matter what time i go to bed!!!!!! really people, i am NOT a morning person!!!!!!!

i have been like this all my life!!!!! as a matter of fact i don't think i have even ever been up at damn 6:30!!!!!! not even when i was in school!!!!!!!! now there are plenty of times that i haven't went to bed til 6:30, but sure the hell not waking up and having to GET UP OUT OF BED that damn early!!!!!!!!


i just don't understand!!!!!!!!!! maybe my child is actually going to start talking "english" or hit some other mile stone, i've read that their sleep patterns can get all funky when that happens. who knows, but i wish it would happen already, or something. i'm dying here!!!!!


i'm really about to go shoot whoever is out there with that damn bass shit booming from their fucking car!!!!!!!!!! GOD I CAN'T WAIT TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!! it was bad enough that they were working on the road across the street and every new crash, bang, slam, clank that was heard clay would be "what's that noise?" and have to jump up in his bed to look out the window. i really don't need some loud ass rap shit to wake him up NOW!!!!!


well, i am destressing as we speak and i really do think i am going to go take a nap now. i hope you all have a less event filled rest of the day. see ya!!

~6-14-05~ As expected

bedtime did NOT go well!!!!!!!!!!!

i swear i had to put him back into bed at least 10 times!! he didn't finally get to sleep til after 10pm! and we were up there before 9pm!!

so that may be it for naps. i just don't know! guess we will see how tomorrow goes. i'll still try and give him a nap, but i am not fighting it. at least not now. i just wish we would hurry up and move already!!!!

when we finally do, i am getting him out of the crib and into a regular bed. soon after that i am also going to start the dreded potty training thing....UGH!!!! i just want those out of the way before baby #2 comes along, or is even in the making!!!

well i am headed to bed, god only knows what time clay will be charging in my room in the morning, so i need to be rested.

good night!

~6-13-05~ FINALLY!!!!

today, after an hour (literally!) i finally got clay to STAY IN BED and take a nap.

yes, it really took an hour! i did the whole thing from the nanny show, when the kid gets out of bed, put them back etc.....

i didn't know if this was supposed to work for naps, and i really didn't try to hard this past week, but the past 2 days my child has been up BEFORE 7am!!!!!!!! and the thing is, is he hasn't even been going to bed til about 9pm!! he really is supposed to be getting more sleep than that. and yes, i know all kids are different, but with no nap for a week now, this child has been a terror! he was really bad last night. and with him being a terror and me being up BEFORE 7am, with no nap, i turn into a terror myself!

so hopefully today will help!!!! now if this nap makes bedtime go like naps have been going, the naps are gone! i'm just soooooooooooooooooooooo tired!!!!!!!

so i'm half asleep on the couch this morning around 9am, when some realtor lady calls and says they want to show my house at 10am!! what the hell happened to 24 hour notice?!?! but i WANT my house sold, so i couldn't say that. i asked to give me til 11am. so that went ok. since we had open house again yesterday the house wasn't a mess at all, all i had to really do was get myself moving and clay.

they came a bit early. i don't even know if they can drive a car let alone buy a house. there were 2 girls, they both looked about 13, so i don't know what the deal was, i was looking for a mother, but it was just the 2 of them.

2 people came to the open house, but they were "just looking". i don't think too serious. a couple did come at about noon....even though they were SUPPOSED to be there at 5:30! luckily the house was still presentable, it was for they guy's sister who is moving up here from texas. they took pictures and stuff, he was on the cell with her the whole time, and they asked a bunch of questions.....fingers crossed!!!!!!!!

i KNEW changing the listing picture would make a WORLD of difference!!! that original picture was crappy! it was listed the end of march and nothing. now the picture has been changed for about 2-3 weeks, and we have had about 5 or 6 showings! do at least there is some action going on. i have another showing wednesday too.

SOMEONE JUST BUY MY HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE......PRETTY PLEASE!

lord, bob taught clay to say that, pretty please. i could just shoot him!!!! he is just too cute to begin with, then when he is already "pleas'ing" the hell out of you, he then starts with his rendition of pretty please.....how fucking irresistable!!! it is already hard as hell to tell the kid NO!!! then the pretty please tears my heart out all the time.

i think there were just some bible people at my door. i didn't answer. i forgot i have those new sidelites on my door that you can actually see through, so i don't know if they saw me hiding on the floor in front of the door or not. oh well, i should have just shouted, "I'M AGNOSTIC DAMN IT LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!" haha, get it, previous post.....oh well, bob should be coming home soon. i have to decide what is for dinner.

take care everyone!

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).

Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.

got this from trish.......i think it is VERY accurate

Your Birthdate: December 27

Your birth on the 27th day of the month (9 energy) adds a tone of selflessness and humanitarianism to your life path. Certainly, you are one who can work very well with people, but at the same time you need a good bit of time to be by yourself to rest and meditate. There is a very humanistic and philanthropic approach in most of things that you do. This birthday helps you be broadminded, tolerant, generous and very cooperative. You are the type of person who uses persuasion rather than force to achieve your ends.

~6-10-05~ Some news

well, i got some calls today about showing the house. first one was set up for 11:00am, then it got cancelled. then another person called and wants to see it at 1:30. so that is good. not that i have to clean by myself, but good that people want to see the house.


also, we went to the loan guy tonight. i was originally going to go with a stated income loan, by myself and was quoted an interest rate of 7 1/8%. which sucked, but what are ya gonna do. so now this new guy ran bob's credit. there are a few if's on there but he says we should be able to go FHA and we can get an interest rate of 6%. that is VERY cool!!!!! it sucks though cause we will have to pay PMI, so really even with the difference in the interest i will be only saving $60 a month. which is better than nothing. and i guess the PMI you only pay for so long, not ever. so that was a bit of good news.


i remembered the show i watched that i was trying to tell you all about. it was hit me baby one more time. it is ok. just makes me feel bad for these people who aren't really "somebody" anymore. just an observation....notice that now that these people are raking in the money, they are quite heavy! anyways the first episode, i wanted tiffany to win. i love her voice, and she looks a TON better than when she was younger. it is funny that her voice IS grown up now. she too was a bit heavy, bob things she is preggers, but i think she is really pretty. everyone did really well. even the flock of seagulls, i thought they may suck since a lot of their original was synthesized. but everyone sounded good. i didn't know that arrested development song. just like a line......figures they won! then tonight i missed half of it cause i was putting clay to bed. i wanted 867-5309 guys to win. i feel really bad that they once had the best song ever, one of the most memorable songs ever, and now the poor guy has a job fixing computers. i know he deals with the software and stuff, but still.....i just felt bad for him. and it figures that vanilla ice won. lord how i hated that song. thank goodness i missed it tonight!!! and what the hell was he sining for his second song?!?!?! granted i don't know the song survivor by DC, but i'm pretty sure that WAS NOT what he was singing. he just drives me batty!!!!


as for the other shows, there are about 3 or 4, i haven't been able to start watching them yet. bob is fighting me all the way. i just hate watching shows without him. without someone to talk about them, what is the point?! i'm sure he will give in and watch them with me. that is one of the reasons i married him! :)


people i am STILL burnt and in PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! my child keeps latching on to my shoulders at the most inappropriate times and he gets screamed at. not intentionally, but instintively, cause if fucking hurts!!!!!!!! then i apologize then try to explain to him that mommy has a sunburn and he can't touch. which OF COURSE makes him do it even more!!!!!!!!!! gotta love my kid!!!!!!!!!


well, i need to get to bed, i have a lot of cleaning to do before 1:30 tomorrow!!!

have a good night!

~6-9-05~ Still in the dark

i still haven't really heard anything about anything yet!!!!!!

after bugging our realtor he finally called to say that the only thing changed on our bid was the inspection of the well and septic. originally we had it that they paid to get them inspected, but they want us to pay for it. no biggie. i just want the damn contract signed and in my hands!!!!

and still no word on the guy who is trying to get financed. hopefully she will tell us one way or the other what is happening. just so we know. we are having another open house this sunday, and i did check and it IS listed this time! so hopefully people will actually show this time!!


wow, the thunderstorms that are south of me must be pretty big. i can really hear the thunder, i keep checking the radar, and they aren't close to me really at all. so they must be getting hit down there pretty bad.


got a call from an old friend today. that was nice. it really sucks that a lot of the good friendships that you have seem to fade away as you "grow up". SUCKS!!! don was a good friend, i'm glad he called. i'm also glad that he seems to be doing well. new wife, new job, new house! go don!!!!


onto another old friend, trish. everyone send out some thoughts and prayers for her as she goes through some difficult times. i'm not worried about her though. she is a very strong, brave, intelligent, capable, loving person. i know she will make it through just fine. i love you girl! hang in there! you are doing the right thing!


so did i mention the other day about my child. in case you missed it, i will say it again........MY CHILD IS NOT ONLY NOT TAKING NAPS NOW, BUT HE WILL NOT STAY IN HIS DAMN CRIB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah we did the tent thing, that pieces of MESH lasted about a week before it was tore to shreds, but at least he stayed in there. well not since monday. now every morning as soon as he is up, he is out of bed. so i no longer get to lay and "wake up" for a bit before i go get him. now i have to make sure my ass hears him and is UP when he is, so he doesn't go and get into god knows what....i do know what...everything he is not supposed to be in!!!!!!! and naps, well he averages about barely 2 minutes before he is up and out. god help me!!!!!!

he is just so bad!!! everything is a game to him. tell him no or not to do something and he thinks it is a big joke, so he will intenionally KEEP doing it, or do it more!!!! and he will laugh and giggle the whole time.....even while getting yelled at or punished!!!!! and the NO'S!!!!!!!!! sorry for you people who don't believe in spanking, but i toally understand why my mother used to hit me!! this child will sit and scream no at me all the time. that drives me insane!! but lord is he a cutie!!!!!!

i told him today, i don't see how people have more than one!!!!! i mean he is so gosh darn cute, and i love him with all my heart, but he wears me out!!!! i could not even imagine dealing with 2! especially if there were that close in age where they were BOTH doing the things that he is doing now. i think i would be on some serious meds!!!!!

i know, i know......if i really had another then i would be saying i couldn't picture my life any other way, and i wouldn't want it any other way. I KNOW! I GET IT!!! but lord, i get tired now just thinking of having another! and the time is growing close!!!!!!!! we are supposed to start trying for #2 at the end of summer. i just wish i could start out with them at like 2. i just can't see doing all the baby stuff (i.e. breastfeeding every 10 minutes!!!) while chasing after a wild 3 year old!!!!! or trying to keep him quiet while trying to put the baby down for a nap. i know, it will all work itself out when the time comes. i just like to stress myself out in my brain thinking of all this stuff WAAAAAAAY before it even happens.

like that damn song 100 years. yes, it is a good song, but i think it is depressing! i already look back and miss the past and youth, and i think about the future and growing old, losing people, etc, and i get depressed! and that is totally what the song is about!!!!!!!!!! now there is that commercial with that song in it and every time it is on bob has to rewind it and turn it up cause he likes the song so much! AHHHH!!!!!!!!! i can depress myself just fine, i don't need a song to do it for me!!


on to some TV........you guys have been spared lately since most regular shows are over for now. and the new shows that are one i still have on DVR so i haven't watched yet. what we did watch so far is:

fire me please....it is about 2 different people who start jobs, and they have to try and get fired closest to 3pm. it is a lot better and funnier than i thought it was going to be. i just wish they would show more of when the people they were working for were finally let in on the joke. that is what is really funny! where do they find these people?!?!?!

we also watched the real gilligan's island. it is kind of queer. i'm not really all that into it, it sort of seems like a generic survivor to me. but it is something to watch!

i thought there was another show i was going to tell ya'll about, but it is past my bedtime and i can't think straight. i'm sure i will lay in bed for a few hours now wondering what the hell it was.......so i better go now........night!!!!

~6-8-05~ Nada

still no word..........


let's hope it is true that no news is good news!!!!

~6-6-05~ Woo-hoo (kind of)

well the counter offer we did of $177,500 plus the mower WAS ACCEPTED!!!!!!!

i still can't believe it, and won't really til i sign the papers, BUT we still aren't in the clear.

now we just have to cross our fingers and PRAY that noone else goes to them with an offer!!!!! PLUS we have to sell OUR house!!!!

so i'm not getting all excited yet! i know how my luck is, so i'm being very cautious.


wish us luck!!!! thanks!!!!

~6-6-05~ I'm as cold as ice!!!!!

well now i am flippin freezing!!!!

yes, my air is fixed. wasn't really broken. i guess most of my "stoppers" were closed! how or why i do not know!

he said that they could have vibrated closed, or with the new furnace, the "blow" was stronger than my old one, so it could have caught it and blew it closed. so FUCK!!!! now i want to know if i really could have saved on my heating bills this winter!!!

i mean with new windows and a new furnace, i should have seen some relief in my bills, but NO!!!! maybe cause my damn dampers were closed so no heat was getting up here, so i had to crank my heat all winter!! i'm pissed!!!

oh well.......nothing to do about it now!!!!


for any of you who read me, and know that i read you, will you please send me a link to your webpage. my son has learned to point the mouse at something and then click the button. so now mysteriously my WHOLE blog folder is GONE, so is my fucking accounts that i pay all my bills with online. hopefully i can find all those again.


in other "sort-of" good news. i really shouldn't say, don't want to jinx myself, but those people came back with a counter-bid. get this....

a recap:

they were asking $184,900. we offered them $172,900 and we wanted $3000 towards closing, the washer/dryer and the riding mower. so they countered:


no washer/dryer, no mower, $179,000!!!!!!!!!!!


WHAT?!?!?! i thought we were going to have to fight to get $180,000 plus some closing!!

so hell!!! we ended up asking for $177,500, and again for the mower. so we will see.

but damn, i will be happy to take the $179,000!!!!!!!!


now about my house.....nothing new on that front, i still think it will take a few days, his realtor is supposed to let mine know either way. so hopefully soon!!


ok, i need to go put some socks on my toes are ice cubes!!!!

don't forget to send me your link!!!!!! thanks!!!!

~6-5-05~ I'm melting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it is so fucking hot i am going to die!!!!!!!!

for some unknown reason, because it is me we are talking about, my fucking air conditioner is NOT working!!!!!! i had it on since yesterday at about 3pm. today at 3 pm it was 80 degrees in my house!! WITH the air ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so i am dying here!!!! i called the guy who did the furnace/ac last year, it should still be under warranty. he best call me first thing the the morning, cause it is supposed to be in the 80's all week and i sure can't take this!!!!!


the open house today was a bust! well saturday i happened to check the realty site and i noticed that my house was NOT listed as an open house for sunday. so i called my realtor and he said he didn't know what the deal was, but we were still going to have it, plus someone wanted to look at the house that day too but at 9am. 9 AM are you nuts?!?!?!?! so we made it for 10:30. so that went ok. then come the open house.....noone showed up! well duh, it wasn't advertised!!!

so we signed more papers and put in a bid on the house i told ya'll about the other day. so the day wasn't a total loss. then while we were doing that, the lady who showed the house earlier in the day called, and the guy is interested in the house, and they are going tomorrow to see what he can get financed for. so hopefully he can get what i want for my house!!!!!!!!!! and hopefully those people accept our offer, i know they won't, isn't that how it goes?! throw some prices back and forth.....

so hopefully by the end of this week i will have 2 good pieces of new for you all!!

cross your fingers and send me some good vibes!!!! thanks!!!!

i am going to the bedroom now, where we have a fan in the window blowing a ton of hot air around. if i don't have a heat stroke, i'll try and write some more tomorrow!!

good night!

~6-4-05~ I'm going to hell????

~6-3-05~ LOVE IT!!!

we went and saw THIS house today.

we LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! we WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!

the house is great, but the land, oh, THE LAND!!!!!!!

i made some pages so you could view the pictures. just so you know i spared you all, i took 80 pictures!!!!! and more than half were just outside!!!

there are 3 pages, for some reason i couldn't link them together, i'll try that later.

Page 1

Page 2

Page 3


of course now we probably just jinxed ourselevs by liking it so much, it will probably be sold tomorrow!!! there were people coming to look at it after us as well.

fingers crossed! hopefully someone makes us an offer on our house at the open house sunday!!!!


i don't know if i mentioned the people who came from out of town, liked our house, but didn't much like being on the main road, yeah tell me about it, why do you think we are selling!!!! i guess they have 4 kids!!! which i don't see how this place is big enough for 4 kids! i don't think it is big enough for just us now! oh well.

again, if and when it is meant to be it will happen, so i am not going to stress or get my hopes up!
