till my wedding anniversary, this one marks eleven years. Hubby has to work his usual evening shift, so I am not sure what I am going to do yet. Maybe have something ready when he gets home… or before he goes to work… I would really love to do something with the kids, and something without… but I just have no ideas… Help?
Brain 1, heat from hell, 0
I won this round. The heat around here makes your steering wheel so hot it will give you third degree burns… sure, I could spend the money to buy a steering wheel cover, but um… why? when I can make one?? and one that will be exactly the color I want!! so Here is the cover i made for Hubby’s car, the one for my truck is still on the needles.
I have noticed
a direct correlation between sexual satisfaction and my mood… coincidence?? I think not.
Hubby brought me home
a filing cabinet. a tall, 5 drawer, metal jobbie. it is perfect for what I needed, it sits in the corner that I had to move my desk from because of the water leak, and gives me a platform for my printer, while at the same time, providing tons of storage to help with the overload that is my desk top. We got the truck unloaded this morning. I cleaned up the computer area and moved in the cabinet this afternoon, and I have spent the evening working on cleaning off my desk. There is a chore. I am not sure why everything in the house has to spend at least some time living on my desk, but it does.
If the girls are unsure what to do with something while cleaning up, they dump it on my desk. If they don’t want to walk down the hall to put it in their room, they dump it on my desk. So I regularly have to go through with the trash can and a front loader to clean the thing off. I am not done yet, but I can see desk surface!! and I did manage to finish the first of two steering wheel covers, one for each car. Now I can cast on for the other.
Sleep? who needs sleep?
4 hrs is all the sleep I got last night. My 2 year old woke up at 10:30 crying. nothing would make him content but laying on my bed next to me. so we laid there and i read for a while. he dozed but never actually fell asleep, till at 12:45 he sat up and puked. So, 1am I am cleaning a 2 year old and changing the sheets on my bed. lay back down… he finally falls asleep. I get to sleep about 3 am. he woke up at 5, fussy and whiny and I just laid there with him. At 6 I heard my oldest daughter, who is 8, get up, and I asked her to take him, watch cartoons with him, I only got 2 hrs sleep, let me get some rest (she is really good about watching him in the mornings, when all he wants to do is sit and watch tv anyway) so I was able to sleep till almost 8….
I am drained. and Hubby will be home this afternoon. The girls are working on cleaning up some, but I am not going to be up for a huge cleaning thing. Plus, the baby is still whiny and clingy.

that I have a book problem. My Paperbackswap wish list… it has now reached unbelievable perportions, it is now 100 books long. Granted, most of the books on it are not released yet, but still. *hides*
Hi, my name is The Board Bitch, and I am a bibliophile….
30lb growth.
that is what I have on my lap today. ALL DAY… My 2 year old is not feeling well, I think he is teething. Feverish, whiny and clingy all day long, only content if I will sit in the recliner with him, and his blanket and cup, and watch cartoons. I tried reading, he keeps reaching over and flipping my book shut, the little monster. *sigh* Think I can get him in bed soon?
just kill me now
cause with only a few days left till hubby returns, something else WILL go wrong.
This afternoon I noticed that the carpet under my computer desk was damp. I asked the girls if they had spilled anything.. no.. so I start looking, go outside and the water spigot is turned off.. but hissing, it is leaking INSIDE The wall, and there is water dripping from the wall, on the outside of the foundation. First thing I did was call the land lord. Half an hour later they called me back. they will call some one to fix it, and the people to fix it will contact me… *sigh*
In the mean time, I can’t have my computer, and computer desk sitting on wet carpeting … hello… water and electronics do NOT mix well. So I had to re-arrange my computer area. SO much fun… ever tried to move a 7′ long, solid wood desk alone??? My back is killing me. I called and left Hubby a voice mail to call, but I am afraid of what will happen next.
Saw my sister
for the first time in two months over the Father’s day weekend. I have only spoken to her maybe 3 times in that same two months, and that one visit was more than enough to remind me why I don’t speak to her often. At least this time, the whole visit was surrounded by family, so th worst she could do was treat me like a stranger, and not like she usually does, as the dirt beneath her feet.
I tried more than once to have a conversation with her, and she either totally ignored me, or she responded with a short, derisive retort, that basically said, without coming out and stating for the entire family, including our grandfather, that she has no use for me.
Fine. I am happier not letting her treat me like shit. I am a much happier person not letting myself be subjected to her venom and hate. Somehow, every time I see her, or she calls me (which, granted, is rare and only when she wants something) I am only reminded how much good it has done me, and my family, to stop working so hard to make her like me. Having her approval means nothing to me anymore, and this is a good thing for me!
Public Service Announcement.
there is just something wrong when it is 8pm and the temperature is still 106 outside. That is all.
