Ponders SpaceA pond junkie, who fights for koi and frogs everywhere 3月23日 Life in the Fast Lane!Well the race is on,,, oh thats a song. I think peple may have thought I gave up.
I just had dial-up for so long. Add to that 4 jobs and 3 kids.
Well the oldest graduates in May, the twins start driving in May.
Our anniversary is in May so I am running away!
I booked us a vacation the first week of May!
I am going to Key Largo!
The past couple of years has been hard. I work full time for a powerline company.
I work on the side doing books for 3 other companies and tax returns.
The economy has been scary. But hubby is busy due to the fact that all
of the other welding shops in the area closed.
I know I shouldn't be happy but I am.
I follow Suze Orman's advice on how to get out of debt.
And then what do I do? I go out and buy a new camper. But I am looking at the big picture. I will pay for it in 6 years and it will save me that much on travel for the family. We have a great lake here and lots of others close enough. So that will be our vacations for the next few years.
I had a great dog that I had to have put down. You spend 15.5 years with them and you really miss them when they are gone.
I am doing my best to have no fear. But the truth is it is spooky. But on the other hand the type of work I am trained for is still in high demand. I know a lot of you out there are going through some tough stuff. I just want you guys to know I am thinking of you.
Well ta ta for now. 10月24日 Random ThoughtsWell as you know the temps are dropping.
The leaves are falling.
Christmas decorations are jumping out of the box.
Early too.
What happend to waiting until after Thanksgiving?
Not me!
Do it right!
I enjoy them each seperatley.
I love November. Maybe because I was born that month.
Or is it because gluttony is expected and appreciated.
The election and the economy are the biggest worries right now.
They laid of over a third of the employees here at American Woodmark.
My hubby is selfemployed. So this causes a little stress. But he is doing well.
I just hope it all gets a little better fast.
I know I have not been here much but for those of you who have gone back to dial up you know what I am facing. But I am now able to get Datz wireless and maybe it will make a huge difference.
Work is going well and life is good. My BFF is having a party for Ladies on Sat. Maybe I should go.
You know is it just me or is life just too hard on Libido?
Maybe it is just me. Ohh Well.
I am a little freaked to find that my ex is only 7-8 hours east of me. He is nuts.
And I thought he was still in Fl. Nope TN. now. I know I should let it go.
But I just keep track of him. The last thing I want is to get caught by him
in town alone. He might lock me in the trunk and keep me prisoner.
He has stalked me before and he calls on occasion. And since my BD is coming up
another one is expected.
I know I am all over the place but this is how my mind is right now.
I am trying to get classes over for my tax license.
And I feel like the conection to my brain is blocked. Unless it is numbers it doesn't make sense.
Well I better go before I make a bigger fool out of my self.
9月4日 Something to Think AboutWell here are some of my current thoughts.
This just came to me and I thought there may
be others that might want to look.
I am really very interested in knowing "the other side".
I am into conspiracy theories.
I do not trust the media.
Remember they are paid.
Who pays them?
Campaigns are funded by someone.
What do they expect in return.
I love the book The Appeal by John Grishom.
I am just a little into politics.
But I have been following Obama for about six years. I Will Vote for him.
I was talking to a friend about this at lunch the other day and she said "but what if he is the AntiChrist?".
My response was simple "If it is written, What will change it".
All I can do is have faith.
We all have to have faith. When we drive on the road we have faith
that the driver meeting us head on will stay in their lane.
That our jobs are still there the next day.
That our kids will be okay in the end.
That there is always another day.
Good luck and see ya soon. 8月27日 Catch UP!Well for any of my friends still out there.
In the past few months I have had no time to do anything.
My hubby and I both have home based businesses.
He is a welder and master fabricator.
I am a bookkeeper. I now have three fulltime clients. And of course tax season is coming fast.
When I started this at home I worked in the den. Then I moved to the office in the shop. Then I started building my own office in the old shop building.
This required a new roof. And while we are at it let's put on a big covered deck on the front of the house. So after the roof was done, and ten years worth of crap gone through, I got the BTIL to frame and wire it. We took half for the office and a small file room. And the rest for other odds and ends. I am the only one in the bunch that can even touch the insulation. So I got stuck with that task. In the meantime I had to help the Surgeon I work for close and move his office.
Remember he joined the same group the other one did.
So once I got the insulation up I put up a vapor barrier, and the drywall. The drywall tried to kill me! So texture had to go next then paint and trim and finally the flooring. It is 298 square feet in the office. My knees are starting to look right again. And the boys and hubby did not help at all do to the fact that they were all working as hard as I was in the welding shop.
Add all this to the house and kids and yard work and you can see why I have been absent.
And to top it all off I have to keep the work up.
But I guess I must like it because now I am redoing my kitchen.
I just got a new stove, fridge, washer and dryer. All stainless. Thank you Sears for 12 months no interest. Now I painted before they came in and put in a new hardwood floor. But the thing is I HATE the Yellow! Now I am going to do it over. I think a nice ambrosia.
And all this is going on while we camp and boat and we even went to South Padre Island, San Antonio, and Galveston on a week long trip that included a day at Six Flags. Dolly chased us out of SPI. Thanks a lot.
As for family the MIL now has custody of her grandson who is 12. So I take him on Tues evenings and try to do something he likes which is mainly fishing.
We have hung out with friends more this year than in all the years we have been together. But the problem is our best friends got a D! Now this is a problem for us only it seems. She is my BFF and he is the Hubby's. Plus he is one of my clients. Now this is not the problem. The problem is we have to do things with them at seperate times. If there are a lot of people they are fine being around each other. But they agree not to bring the new dates.
Why does this have to stress me?
I guess I am just so used to being around the hubby's ex that it is not a problem.
But in time it will all work out.
I hope to meet MB's new lady Kim soon. I have met the fellow DB is seeing and personally I am not sure if he isn't gay. But I guess he is not my type and as long as she is happy that is all that matters. The problem here is that hubby is not happy about being around him.
This is so hard because we had three couples that get along so well and we were all happy with the mix. Now those of you that are married know how hard it is to find friends that just work. The wives like each other and the hubbys to. And we were fine as a group of six also. We voted out the fourth couple!
MB was the only one that liked them.
And now he has ditched them.
That really sounds mean but she was such a brat and he is a perv. She got mad at us for gettiing on her butt. My hubby made a scene and told her she was trashy after she {with me and her hubby right at the same table} handed him her phone and said she wanted his opinion on these pictures. She was in her undies. My hubby is a very good man. And you better bet that if it was a stranger he would have looked. But he knows her.
We went to a party at the river Monday and they had a bikini contest. Now we all knew they would come off. And of course he watched.
And in July when D turned 18 he took him, the cuz J and his dad G, and even G's SIL B to the strip club in Tulsa. They had a good time and was in high gear for days. But D was a little freaked when the girl they got { the youngest and cuteest} to give him a lap dance turned out they went to school together.
He said he can't go there as long as she works there.
His girlfriend of two years broke up the day before his 18th Bday. Thank YOU! I was not looking forward to life with her she is a brat! Now she wants him back and he has said nope just friends.
Man he is a good kid. As for the twins 15 is tough. I might not make it.
I know you can understand.
Well I better go and save something for next time.
2月28日 Lost At WorkSorry to any of those that have wasted their precious time looking at my blog....
I have not had time to blog of course. I have totally changed my life. I now work from home. I do tax returns, bookkeeping for 2 companies, and I am still clearing the Accounts Receivable for a surgeon. I had to go get the hubby's new truck last night. And to top it all off the boys are going to CA to visit the J & L show in two weeks. That means IDs must be gotten for 14 yr olds.
I promise I will get around and see you all soon. |
