Another weeked came and went

Well its been an interesting weekend! My little (not "little little" but little enough lol) cousin Tay slept over Saturday AND Sunday nites. Saturday nite we swam and played the Wii and watched movies. Then Sunday she asked to stay again but we didnt get hardly any outside time in because we had some pretty good t-storms and heavy rain so it was another movie and Wii day. Shes a pretty good bowler! Almost got her pro ball in just 2 days! Today we got outside pretty early since the sun was finally out. Anyway it was fun and all the brats were pretty good and even the dogs were good. They spent Saturday nite with Pat/Mom and Sunday I let them come home one at a time to see if they would like Tay. They loved her! Shim licked her to death this morning lol and even fat boy Glutton was pushing all up on her for the lovin. I havent let her sleep over much the past year or so because I didnt know if they would like it but now I know that isnt a problem! And she loves the rats! The boys came out a bunch of times and she held and kissed em up and down. I tried to stash a few in her bag and send em home with her but she caught me lmao! Anyway that was our weekend!

Anyone up for a charlie horse?

So Wayne twisted his ankle a few days ago and instead of going to the Dr to have it looked at he decided to work 12 hours a day on it. Well Thursday when we went to go bowling he couldn't even walk. He bowled but he couldn't tie the shoe and barely hit a single pin. We came home and he iced it and yesterday when he got up to go to work he couldn't walk at all. So hes standing at the foot of the bed with me sitting behind him and he says "Shit! If I move even an inch I'm going to get a wicked Charlie horse in the top of my damn leg! I can feel it!" so me being the bitch that I am took my hand and pretended I was going to shove a finger up his ass LMAO! He jumped a MILE! Worked that Charlie horse out real fast! Lolol! Anyway we went to the hosp and the ankle has a fracture but it looks like his healed somewhat so they arent sure when he got it. They r having another Dr look at the xrays today and then they will call and tell him if he has to go back next week and they will decide if they need to rebrake it and set it or what. For now hes on crutches and has an air cast. Joy! He went to do mail today. Not sure how hes driving since its his left foot but he already took yesterday off so he didn't want to lose another days pay. Then hes stopping an picking up my little cousin Tay and she and him r going to go grocery shopping and then shes spending the nite. We r gonna watch movies and do makeovers and swim swim swim.Should be fun! She hasnt slept over in quite awhile and the kids LOVE it when she does so they r even helping me CLEAN! That's a shocker! Speaking of cleaning I gotta get to it. Have a good weekend all!

Comp issues at their best

Well its finally happened. Im without a laptop :( damn thing. Its been bad. CD drive wont read/record, it wont shut down/reboot, its sooooo slowwww - basically its just crap. So I said screw this and I took it back to where I got it. Im not going to keep paying payments on something I can barely use! Im going to put aside $10 a day until I have enough money to buy a new one. I can get the same exact comp only with more memory/faster for $800 with NO payments! Until then Im using the crappy old desktop. Its actually working fairly well with the exception of being a tad slow. I might upgrade the memory if Im brave enough to open this old thing up. We'll see. Anyway thats the news here! Ill still be online just Ill be doing it a little slower for awhile lol!

And the fun continues

Well Vins jeep is busted. I guess the break line went so now Pat has nothing to drive. Shes having Jim get her a car today. Im just waiting to hear the "She breaks my car then gets a new one!" bullshit from Vin. I know its coming. Anyone want to take bets? Anyway Wayne took her to work at 4:30am this morning because he had to go to work at 5am when shes not supposed to be to work till 9am. Hopefully tomorrow she will have a car and no one will have to take her anywhere. Im going out tonite and deliver Avon catalogs while its not raining for a change. Hopefully Ill get some decent orders. Yesterday the kids decided to lock the bathroom door with no one in there. That was a fun half an hour trying to bust my way through the knob. YEEHAA! Anyway thats all the news here so far today! Im off to do laundry and try being constructive!

Its always something

Pat just called. Shes broke down with Vins jeep. Mom went to get her. Then Vin called having a fit because she has her cell phone turned off and hes heading up there to get the keys from her and cant get a hold of her. Another fun filled day! More to come later...

Limeaid, sweet tea, cookies & popcorn for sale!

Well after years of nagging Angelina is finally going to have her stand tomorrow in the yard. We dont have any lemons but we do have limes so we r going with limeade, chocolate chip cookies, sweet tea and popcorn! Anyone hungry?

Back with Avon!

Well I decided to give Avon another shot. Basically because I ran out of body soap and couldnt find anything else I really liked as much as the Avon Naturals. So I decided to sign Mom up too that way I can make more commission and maybe if I can sign a few people up under her I can do even better than before. We'll see! The key is not ordering things to sell at shows and stuff. Been there...done that...doesnt work here. Im sticking with catalog dropping and hopefully that will bring in some more regular customers. Really I would be happy if I had even enough regular customers to cover my cost of gas and catalogs. See in the city where there r more people per mile Avon isnt as hard to sell. Here in the woods where delivering catalogs takes 3 hours and 100 miles on gas thats $4.50 a gallon and u use more with the stop and go driving its not as easy to make back ur cost. We'll see how it goes though. Im going to do my couple regular customers who ordered fairly often and then the one road I always did and had a couple orders and then if I have books left Ill drop them to some new places. Hopefully it will work out! Oh an I got Mom a webpage. I figure that way its less I have to put through in her name to keep her active if I get a few orders off the webpage. Plus its still free if one person orders for 10 more weeks. After that if they make it where I have to pay again Ill kill it probably. So thats the news! Wish me luck everyone!

Chokin on a jello square...not fun

OMG that was not a fun experience hey. I finally managed to make jello squares right so they actually came out of the pan which made me quite happy. So I pop one in my mouth and next thing I know Im pukin in the sink. Damn thing slipped right down my windpipe. I really thought this is it. Im going to die over a fucking jello square! Josh is next to me screamin to Wayne. Angelinas a lunatic. Waynes asking me if Im gonna make it. Holy crap. So yeah not at all fun but worth it since the kids finally got a jello square they could hold and eat the right way which will probably be the last time since I aint making them again anytime soon!

Remember when cereal came with a toy? Coupons were printed on the inside of packages?

Where did those days go? Cereal used to come with a toy. And not just certain cereals either really when u think about it damn near all of them did! Even when Josh was little most cereals still came with a toy. Then by the time Angelina was born once in awhile u would find a toy but not very often. Now its RARE that u find one! Sure u can save up 500 proofs of purchase and send them to the company along with $29.99 shipping & handling to occasionally get ur "free toy" but even thats not very often these days. WTFS up with the cheap ass cereal companies? Yeah I get that everything costs more to make now a days but really come on. With all they spend on tv ads and coupon printing just to make it so us parents have to buy the name brand cereals our kids drool over *when was the last time u saw WalMart brand cereal advertised on tv hey* they could atleast throw in a damn toy! Another thing that annoys me is coupons on the inside of packages. Remember when soup cans had coupons printed on the inside of their labels? Boxes had coupons printed in side? My Grandmother used to have a COLLECTION of these coupons! She had a big envelope she kept them in and she would always have a couple to use when she went shopping. Most people dont even bother looking anymore because they never find any! Is it so hard to throw a 50 cent coupon into a box here and there? Really the majority of people wont even use em so it wont cost the company that much but shit give em to those of us who actually still look from time to time! Im 34 years old. I shouldnt be sitting here like an old lady saying "Remember back when I clipped coupons from soup cans?" WTF! My Mom saying that ok. Maybe. Not that she ever clipped coupons but still. But me? No! Give me my coupons and free toys damnit! Ok I need coffee.
