Facebook

I am addicted to Facebook. I love it. It is very time consuming and I can hardly keep up with everything everyone sends me. I am still trying to navigate myself around too. It is just fun to talk to people you haven't talked to in awhile. If you don't have one you should really think about getting one.

I had the day off yesterday as you know and I was not really feeling like doing too much. I was just gonna hang out and do laundry. Colleen called and said she had some driving to do to drop off some prints and things for their business and wanted me to come with her. I first said no. She then proceeded to bug me about going. First of all she is the worst driver I know. She has totalled more cars than I have owned. I finally said ok. We were in the car for like 3 hours. Drove all the way out to the country and then to downtown Detroit. Driving in downtown Detroit is an art, one that neither one of us is good at and parking down there is another story. Her driving was making me crazy on the expressway. She will be talking and looking at you all the while swaying into another lane. I kept telling her keep your eyes on the road LOL. We get downtown and there is not one parking spot. I get the brillant idea to tell her to run in and I will drive around and wait for her. So that is what we did. All the streets are one way so you never know if you can turn or not until you look at the way the cars are parked. I was worried about not finding my way back to her. I finally make it back and she is standing there waiting she goes around to get into the drivers seat and I motion for her to get in the passenger side. She looks at me funny so I then proceed to point at the traffic like we had no time to waste. She gets in and I say so nice do you want to drive. She says I don't care. So I drove home LOL. I don't think she understood why I did that even tho I tell her that I hate driving with her.

I hope everyone has a good day!

Monday

I am posting from home because it is my day off and I have don't have a thing planned today at all. I have alot of possibilities but nothing for sure. It snowed here last night if you can believe that. It is supposed to warm up later today. We had a good weekend full of relaxing and enjoying each other's company. I have not mentioned it on my blog but Nick has been a bit depressed lately. His job has changed majorly since December and he is not liking it that much. They have also cut some of his perks that made his job good. So he is a little bit down. My goal this weekend was to cheer him and make him feel better. I think he does feel a little bit better but not anywhere near normal. He has been contacted several times by another company over the last several months about him working for them but nothing has become of it yet. He is meeting with the owner today so hopefully something will come of it. Michigan just sucks right now. Everyone I know has had issues with their jobs. Either hours being cut, pay being cut or just being slow. I hope it changes sometime soon. The news keeps saying it is getting better but I sure don't see it at all. I am just hoping my n man feels like himself soon. I hate to see him this way. I mean don't get me wrong he isn't walking around in a fog but just no himself. I want him to be himself soon. I miss him :( So I am off to do some laundry or whatever it is I want to do because I have the day off LOL.

Have a good one.

Weekend

I got home from work yesterday and realized I didn't do a Friday post like I normally do. There are reasons for this LOL. First of all, my allergies are driving me basically crazy and work has been extremely busy. Spring and Summer are our busiest times of year. I am liking the busy times at work tho because winter kills our sales and it is nice to see the numbers go up in the Spring. I left work yesterday and went to get a pedicure/manicure. I love pedicures! They make me happy!!!! I love the massage it is the best part. I told Nick earlier in the day that we are going to do nothing this weekend. It seems for the last few months our weekends are just so busy there is no time to enjoy each other. The kids are at their dad's house for the weekend so it will just be the 2 of us. Last night Nick made dinner and then we hung out like best friends for the rest of the night. Talking, looking on facebook and watching t.v. I fell asleep by 10:30 and it was wonderful. We have pretty much the same thing planned for tonight! I think every now and then you need some down time. I know I said I love the chaos and busy times but I got allergies and PMS right now. It is so funny how hormones can give you such an attitude change. Oh well, there is nothing you can do about it. Just deal with it which I why I choose to stay at home this weekend. Actually, I think the world should thank me for that LOL. That means I won't be pissey to anyone else but Nick. He handles it so well the guy is an absolute gem. That is pretty much all I have for today.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Cheerleading Banquet

Yesterday I posted about Sarah's cheerleading banquet and I was saying how I was going to sit with my X and his wife. I seriously was thinking of doing that but again I kept telling myself no that isn't right to do that. I got off work, went home lounged with Sarah for a bit and then got ready to go. I did not wear the sandals I actually wore my boots LOL. In the morning I had told Sarah to tell her friend's parents to save me a seat next to them. When we got there we both had to go to the bathroom first thing in the hall. To my surprise the x's wife was in the bathroom. I continued to walk in with a smile. The whole while thinking I wish our relationship were different but at any rate it is not. We start to walk in the dining room that is already packed with people and I zero in on the people I want to sit with. Guess what I was floored because the x and his wife were sitting at the same table. I was like OMG that can't be! I walked over there my friend moved her coat she had on the seat she was saving and said I hope it is ok they asked if they could sit here. I said oh no I am fine with it. As luck would have it we were sitting right across from each other so every time she looked up she was looking at me. I was very nervous actually shaking. I kept thinking ok you can sit here and be intimidated or be yourself. I decided to let go and by myself. I was chatting with everyone except them. They talked to nobody. I had a great time. I avoided looking at them as much as possible. When dinner was served I was not eating and the lady next to me said why aren't you eating? I said oh I have food allergies so I normally don't eat at halls because I would need to know what is in everything. At that point my X rolled his eyes because he thinks food allergies were in my head. So she then looks at the X's wife and says your not eating are you on a diet? I about lost it! I composed myself to not laugh but thought wow that takes some major nerve to say that someone you don't even know. The X's wife repsonds with I am always on a diet. When dinner was finished they got up to leave. Sarah came over and said good bye. After they walked out the lady next to me said now who is their child? I said oh that would be mine. She looked all confused and I clarified that by saying that was my X. She just smiled. On the way home Sarah told me that the X's wife said to her we are leaving because we are having so much fun and this is very ackward. I mean come on does she think I am going to go away or something? It is sad that everyone can't act like adults. It is she who has pretty much exploded and came at me one time in court and has exploded other times on the phone. I don't understand that because I have so moved on in life and life is too short to make everyone ackward around you because you can't act like an adult. My relationship with my X was never great but it was never as bad as it has been since she is in his life. I went home with a smile because of what I felt I accomplished last night. I felt that I did not let them intimidate me and I was myself and not rude or anything foul towards them. I simply enjoyed the company and laughter everyone shared. I looked at it this way it is their issue not mine. Which made me feel good!

We have another busy night tonight. The twins have an ortho appt at 2:40, Sarah has therapy for her knee at 5:30 and we have a play to go to tonight at the school at 7:00. I have to admit it tho I love chaos and having a ton of things to do. I tend to get bored real easy if there is not alot of stuff going on. Nick, on the other hand, loves to relax. I struggle with that. I am too hyper most of the time to relax and when I crash from exhaustion is the time I relax.

I hope everyone has a great day today!

Rainy Wednesday

It is raining and nasty outside today. The weather forecast was supposed to be almost 70 today. Tonight we have Sarah's cheer banquet so I have a skirt I bought with cute sandals and she has a sundress with sandals. I am worried ... LOL It is supposed to warm up in the afternoon. I sure hope so cuz I don't want to wear anything else. We shall see! I am having faith that it will warm up and if it doesn't then I guess my feet will freeze.

I went home after work yesterday, exercised, made dinner and then went to the mall. As I was walking out the door my girlfriend called and I could tell she was upset by her voice. She asked what I was doing I told her I was leaving to go to the mall did she want to go? She said yes and she only lives a half mile away. I picked her up on my way and we had such a good time. It is amazing how laughter can help in any situation. She is having some marital issues but I am sure they will work thru them. It is funny no matter how old you are when you go to the mall with a best friend you always act like high school girls. Laughing and carrying on. It was fun! I bought my daughter a pair of sandals to go with her dress and she has the tiniest feet. I guessed at the size because she was not with me. She wears a 6 1/2????? I wear a 8 1/2 and have stump feet as Nick calls them. They are almost as wide as they are long LOL. She has these cute little skinny girl feet. WTH where did she get them from??? I am jealous LOL. So tonight at the banquet my x and his wife are going. You know the relationship there right? Anyway I am feeling a little spiteful lately. Not sure why? I guess it is because I am sick of trying to be the bigger person. Anyway, Nick is not going because we thought it would just be girl thing. I will be attending by myself. I can more than handle it in the mood I am in lately. It is always ackward for me being in the same room with them. I can handle it but they apparently they can't so I thought the best way to handle it is kill them with kindess LOL. I think I am gonna sit right at the same table and just be as nice as I can. I guess I just want to see their reaction LOL. I know I am being bad and bitchy but hey I can't be nice all the time. I think it will be great fun! I told Nick that last night and he said nah don't and I said yes I think I will. I will let you know tomorrow how it goes.

Update on the pillow... I did end up stealing it. Nick was mad but I gave him another pillow we had in the closet and he is just as happy and so am I.

I need to get back to work. I hope everyone has a great day!

Struggling

I have not posted in a few days because I have been struggling with what I want to post about. We had a very busy weekend. We worked pretty hard all weekend at the craft show and then the normal home things that you need to do. On Monday morning I felt like I didn't get a weekend. I am still struggling with issues with my sister. When she texts me I need to learn to just ignore the text. That is easier said than done. I try self control but I always feel like I need to get my say in there. Last night I decided to just not respond to her texts anymore. It just stresses me out too much. I can have a great day going and then she will text me and it ruins my mood. The thing I know but don't practice is I allow her to do this to me. I am not allowing her to do that to me anymore. I forgive her because I know that is what I should do but I guess you can choose who you want to associate with and I choose not to associate with her anymore. In the last 2 years she has hurt me more than anyone I have ever been involved with. I am not sure why she feels the need to act this way to me but I am done with trying to figure it out. It is sad because I only have 1 sister but on the other hand I have been blessed with many friends. My best friends are more like sisters to me than she is. It is a hard realization to come to but I am trying my hardest to do this. I get sad just typing this. I talked to my brother in law Sunday night on the phone (her ex) and we had a nice discussion on how she is like that to her own daughters so it is not just me. My BIL seems to think she is bi-polar and I am starting to think that myself. Every time she talks to her oldest daughter she makes her cry. My niece's boyfriend does not like when she talks to her. Then she will call her the next day saying hi hunny like nothing ever happened. I am just done with it. She is getting married on July 10th and wants my son to walk her down the isle. I am not sure how I am gonna handle this so we will see. One part of me says why go and spend all that money to attend her wedding when she claims she can't stand me and wants nothing to do with me. Oh well, there is time to figure it out.

On a brighter note, I was watching the news this morning and I seen these new flip flops that are made in Michigan called Bandals with interchangeable straps for any color you wear. You need to go check it out http://www.bandals.com/ . What a brilliant idea. Why couldn't I think of it? LOL I love sandals and can't wait to start wearing them.

I sure hope everyone has a great day. I will leave you with a picture of me, my sister and our girls.

The weekend

The weekend is here and I am very busy this weekend with the craft show at the school. So alot of work to be done. I don't have much time to post so I will leave you with a cute picture of me and my daughter.

Have a great weekend!

The weekend

Forgetful

I had a post all planned for today and I simply cannot remember it LOL. It drives me crazy sometimes how forgetful I can be. I never used to be this way. It seems that in the last few years I am forgetful. I read that hormones can do that. Damn, is there anything hormones can't do? I mean geez! At my age everything is blamed on hormones LOL.

I do have alot going on in my mind today tho. First off is my sister. I know I have explained before about how our relationship has been since her divorce. We used to be extremely close and do almost everything together. I miss that time. I know the kids get older and things change and I totally understand that. The thing is she now lives 3 hours away from me and that really isn't that far but I cannot stand her boyfriend so I won't go there nor have I been invited there. She is getting married July 10th and I will be there but I am not happy about it. She claims she is happy but I just don't see it. I just miss the ways things used to be. I feel like I can't even talk to her anymore because everything I say she has a snarky attitude back to me. Yesterday at work she texted me and we were talking. I had just got the results from my mamogram and chest x-ray and they were good. I shared these with her because I know she has not been to the drs in like 5 years. I then said have you got a mamogram because she has breast implants and she said no. She has never had one. I just told her she should go and get one. Then the snarkyness came out. Her response to me was I am an adult and I don't need lectures. Ok I was fine with that so I changed the subject to her wedding and was asking questions like is everything done. Then the snarkyness continued with anymore questions you have to ask. I said no. She said I am tired of playing the questions game. So I just quit texting her. Then last night she sent me a text saying she is sorry and work is rough. Ok I understand that but it is every conversation we have she gets snarky with me and I am just sick of it. I did not even respond to her text last night. This morning she texted me and asked if I got it. I said yes but didn't feel it required a response. I am just done with the BS and I am not sure how to handle it anymore. Whenever we get into an argument I am always the reason why she is the way she is like it is my fault. She always goes back to our childhood. I am the baby and my mom babied me a ton but that is not my fault. I just don't know how that can be the issues we have today and why it didn't come out earlier. Does anyone have a similiar situation like this? If so, how do you handle it?

My best friend Colleen found out a few days ago that her dad only has 6 months to a year to live he has been battling lung cancer for a year now. I feel bad for her and told her that there is really nothing I can say to make it better other than I am here for her. I almost feel like she is more my sister than my sister.

This post is all over the place today because my ADD is kicking in high gear lol. American Idol was great this week. Last night Carrie Underwood sang with Randy Travis and she is AMAZING! I love her but WTH is up with Randy Travis. He didn't even sound good.

I am gonna leave you with some pictures of my favorite nieces. I love these girls!

These are my sisters girls. It is funny because we
all have my mom's nose. Can you see it with them

and then me. We all have the same exact nose!

Nick and I with my oldest niece.

Me and my girl. It is hard to believe she is 22.

Monday off --- to do list

I had yesterday off and had a to do list for myself.

1. Purchase Dom's senior pictures --- they are closed on Mondays.
2. Go take my mom lunch and visit --- check.
3. Get my mamogram and chest x-ray --- check.
Except the person doing my mamogram was my neighbor, embarrassing but it is done.
4. Take my daughter to her first therapy appointment for her knee --- check.
When we got there she seen alot of old people around and turned to me and said mom
I thought this was Teen Rehab --- I said Sarah it is called Team Rehab ---- priceless.
Seriously that girl is funny! I think she thought she was going to meet a bunch of teens.
The whole place was cracking up at the comment.

Our weather has been absolutely beautiful. Today it is gonna be almost 70. We had a good weekend. We went to a bowling fundraiser on Saturday night. I kept telling Nick I was gonna kick his ass at bowling and kept saying yeah right. Well, I kicked his ass both games. I am great at 9 pin no tap LOL. He hates losing to me even at Wii bowling. It was fun tho. There were about 400 people there and I sure hope they made alot of money for the family. The one guy that was on our lane got the strike ball ticket and he bowled a strike and won $176.00. It was fun!

I hope everyone has a good day!

Happy Friday!

This is dedicated to my blogger friend Mo. She is the only blog that I list on my follow section. I have been reading her blog since she started and before that she was Jake's Aunt Mo on his Caringbridge site. I love to read her stories and see pictures of her beautiful daughters. When I went to read her blog yesterday I was blocked because it is private now. In my mind I knew something must of happened for her to do that. What I don't understand is how someone could do something to her. So, Mo, if your reading this there are alot of people out there who truly love reading your blog. So ignore the idiots who are not so nice. I am going thru Mo withdrawals LOL.

I exercise at least 4 days a week. So the other night my daugther came in the bedroom while I was exercising and I said hey show me the exercises you do at cheer cuz I need to tighten up my tummy. So we sat on the floor doing these stomach things and it seemed easy enough for me. OMG was I wrong. I can hardly stand today. My stomach muscles hurt soooo damn bad! I went to roll over in bed last night and I got a muscle cramp!!!! So I guess I will have to start doing more of those so I get more in shape. I thought I was in shape but I guess my perception of what is in shape is way off. I just moved in my chair here at work and I want to cry! She called this one thing we did pocket pickers. You sit on the floor and lift your legs and back to a sitting position and move from side to side with your arms touching the floor each time. THAT IS WHAT KILLED ME! I don't recommend that to anyone unless you want to be in pain for awhile LOL. I asked her how many times do you guys do this and she said 50 ... 2 sets of 25 ... I said oh I can do that. Well, I did and I am feeling it. I think she was seriously trying to kill me! Nah I am just joking.

My plans for the weekend are to get volunteers for our school craft show next weekend. All the proceeds go to the senior all nite party. There are almost 700 kids graduating this year and do you think I can get any of them to volunteer...not so much! So that is my goal to fill all the slots up with volunteers. Some people are so rude when you call them to ask them to volunteer. It is just amazing. Then we have a fund raiser to go to tomorrow night. Sunday of course is church and hopefully doing something outside because it is supposed to be almost 55.

I gotta get to work here so I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Conferences

I went to conferences last night for all 3 of the kids. I am not a fan of the high school conferences because there is just so many people. In the fall when I went it was the first time all 3 of the kids were at the high school. I had to go both nights because I could not see all their teachers in one night with the lines being as long as they were. Yesterday when I got home from work I started dinner and exercised like I normally when do when dinner is cooking. Nick got home from work at 5:15 and I was sitting ready to go. He said they don't start til like 6:00 I said I know but I want to get there early so I don't have to go back tomorrow night. He said aren't we eating before we go and I said nope dinner is done we can eat when we get home. I told him to hurry up and get ready to go LOL. We got to the school at 5:45 and started the rat race. I was like a mad woman trying to find all their teachers and which ones didn't have lines and ordering the kids and Nick around. I told them ok she has a line you go stand in that line and I will talk to this teacher because she does not have a line LOL. I was a woman on a mission! Guess what? My mission was accomplished by 7:15 wooooo hooooo victory for me. I was so happy! I seen the first teacher I talked to last night and he said well???? I said yes I am done and don't have to come back tomorrow night. As we were walking out to the car I was sad because it dawned on me that was the last conference for my son Dom. Time goes by so fast. I have been a little emotional lately about this. The other night when I went to the senior all nite party meeting I came home and kept telling him I love him. He said mom are you getting weepy because I am graduating soon. I said yes! I told him I remember reading to him our favorite book like it was yesterday and now your a man. He did find some humor in that tho. So the question is? Am I really that old too LOL. It is just so hard to believe! All the kids got good conferences. It is so funny with the twins because they are so different in personality. In their classes tho they both struggle in the same things. When they did their first MEAP tests I was shocked to see that they scored exactly the same in the same areas. It was just weird. It does continue in high school too. So they appear different in many ways but their thinking patterns must be the same.

When I got home last night I had to bake a cake for the guy at work because today is his birthday. I am not sure if I have said this before but I can't BAKE. I can cook up a storm but baking is not my thing. I was gonna make cupcakes but decided not to because it was 8:30 and I wanted to watch Idol and cupcakes are too time consuming LOL. The cake came out of the oven looking great! I let it cool then covered it. I got up this morning to frost it and as I was frosting it the top layer was peeling off. WTH that always happens to me. Does anyone know why? I brought it to work anyway and said you all know I am not a baker LOL. Anyway it is the thought that counts isn't it?

So thats all I have for today. I hope everyone has a great day!

Pillow thief and doorbell ghosts

I have noticed the older I get the more often I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I wake up at least once every night. I have been going thru this pillow crisis lately. I just can't seem to get the right amount of pillows to feel comfortable. The other night I woke up to go the bathroom and got back in bed was shuffling around with the pillow I had and it was just not feeling right. I laid there and looked over at Nick he was sleeping so sound BUT I wanted his one pillow he sleeps with. I have been trying to take it for weeks now. It is just the right size and softness for me. He will not give it up for nothing. I laid there and kept thinking that it would be too mean to take it cuz it would wake him up. Then the thought crossed my mind screw it if I am up he can be up LOL. Needless to say, I never ended up taking the pillow that night. The next night tho I got in bed before him and took the pillow. I was laying all nice and comfy til he came in and took it back. DAMN I want that pillow. I will keep trying to get it too!

The other night we went to bed and he fell asleep right away while I laid and watched some TV. All of sudden he got up and walked around the end of the bed. I said hunny what are you doing? His response was I thought I heard the doorbell???!!!!???? I said no you didn't go back to sleep as I laid there and laughed LOL. Last night I was sleeping so sound and I heard a doorbell. I woke up and looked at the clock it was like 1:30 I thought nah I could not have heard the doorbell it is too late. So I laid there for about 5 minutes wondering did I hear it or was it in my dream? I got up went and looked out the sidelite next to our front door and nobody was there. I was really freaked out about it cuz I really don't know if I heard it or not. I was telling my son about it this morning and he said mom there is a doorbell ghost. I said no there isn't! He said google it mom. I did and yep he is right there is a doorbell ghost. I really didn't read too much into it cuz frankly it freaks me out. I mean seriously who hears a doorbell in their sleep? It is just weird.

We had a great weekend. Went to the mall friday night and I loved every minute of it. I just wonder why Victoria's Secret has to be so damn expensive. I love their Pink hoodies and Tshirts but damn they are expensive. I ended up buying Sarah and I a Tshirt. They were the cheapest ones LOL. Then Saturday I went and got my hair done. I LOVE getting my hair done. We went to a euchre tournament at night. Oh my, it was fun!!! The more I drank the more I kept forgetting who my partners were LOL. We kept changing and it was all so confusing but fun. I ended up winning lowest score so I got $21.00. Sunday we went to church and I relaxed the rest of the day.

It is cold here again :( I am so waiting for Spring. I have conferences tonight for all 3 of the kids. I hate the high school conferences. It takes way to long and the lines are way too long. So I figure I will be at the school for about 3 hours.

Well, I hope everyone has a good day today.

Happy Friday!

It is Friday and I am loving it! It warmed up here yesterday ... it was almost 60! So I got home changed and went out shopping (grocery) still it was doing something outside. I hate being indoors when it is nice out. I woke up this morning and it was already 54 woo hoo! I actually wore flats to work with no socks (good thing I keep up with pedicures lol). It is sunny here and I am loving it. Tonight we plan on going to the outdoor mall which is beautiful www.shoppartridgecreek.com it is one of my favorite places to go to when it is nice out. We probably will even go to the movies there too. We need to savor the good weather because it isn't gonna last. It will be in the 50's thru the weekend and then next week 40's. I'll take it any way it comes.

I have been having some teenage issues with my daughter this week. I swear boys do horrible things to young girls attitudes. I told her originally she could not have a boyfriend until she was 16 which is in August. I gave in a few months ago with some restrictions. The restrictions being that I didn't want them attached at the hip all the time. I said one group outing on the weekend and then they see each other every day in school. I thought that was fair. Well, Tuesday she didn't call me after school which is very odd for her. I got home and nobody was home so I called her cell and she said she was at 7-11 with her friends. I said what friends and of course Danny her BF was with them. I said you didn't ask me if you could go and then she said well I asked dad. At that point I was mad. Why would she call her dad to ask him if she could go somewhere when she is at my house? She said she forgot to call me.... I am not believing that at all. So I went and picked her and Marco up. I was the most horrible mom in the world for doing that. She was rolling her eyes at me. So she is grounded and actually I am quit enjoying it LOL. I am getting my point across to her and it sorta feels good. I want to set the tone for her high school years. Sometimes I feel mean about it but on the other hand there are too many teenagers that have very little limitations. I see that with some of their friends and I just don't want that for my kids. I need to know what they are doing, who they are doing it with and how long with they will be. So I guess I am a little on the excessive side LOL but hey that is ok. There is only 2 others sets of parents out of all the kids they hang with that are like me. I would much rather them hang with those kids than any other ones but I try not to pick their friends because I want them to see what is going on too. Believe it or not they see and they need to learn to make their own choices. So right now she has not talked much to me in the last few days and it is bothering both of us because we normally talk constantly. I am not giving in tho! She normally texts me from school in the morning with "Hi mommy I love you" this morning I got "hi" LOL. I know in her heart she does not mean it ... it is just her way of trying to get her point across LOL.

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

wow 2 posts in one day lol

I had to come and post again because I have alot to say today!!!! I just now ... just now got my period after being only 2 weeks late. It is amazing how much it makes you feel better.

So I have told you all about my 2 BFF's. My one friend has been married for like 17 years and my other friend has been married, divorced and in some pretty shitty relationships. She has now been with the same man for 5 years and he is great we all love him. I think he has some commitment issues tho cuz he won't marry her. So in the fall she said to me we are getting married on June 20th so plan Dom's graduation party around that date. I said "ok". Nick and I got invited to NASCAR on the weekend of the 20th with my uncle. I was going to be standing up so last week we started looking for dresses online. She does not have the hall booked or anything. So today I called her and said are you getting married on June 20th or not because we have a chance to go to NASCAR on that weekend but I won't go if your getting married. She said no we are not. I felt so bad for her because I know how important this is to her. They live together so why not just get married. I just don't understand it. I just feel bad for her. She played it off like no big deal but I know it is a big deal to her. So I am still gonna wait a few weeks before telling my uncle yes to see if something changes. I keep hoping it will!

American Idol

I love American Idol and was very excited to watch it last night. I got everything done to sit and watch it. Nick had fallen asleep in the bedroom watching Seinfeld at like 7:30. I sit down at 8:00 to watch it and yes I only made it thru the first 2 singers. DAMN!!!! I was mad. I woke up at 10:00 and watched the After the Rose Bachelor thing. How stupid is that show... So this is why I cannot wait til spring and summer because I watch no TV and I am way more active. I'm normally outside until at least 10:00 during the week and later on the weekend. I love being outside and the spring cannot come fast enough. I miss sandals, driving my Chevelle, driving my car with the sunroof open and sleeping with the windows open. I seriously would love to move somewhere warm all year. That would be so nice.

I have not talked to my step-daughter since Monday and I know she had to go to the drs today so I'm sure she will be calling to let me know how it went. If she wasn't better by today they were going to admit her today. So we shall see.

My MIL is doing good she is back at her rehab location. Nobody has even told her what her recovery time will be in fear she will get real depressed. Well she already is but she would get even more depressed. So I wonder how long it is gonna take her to ask LOL.

I gotta get back to work. Have a great day!

Monday off !!!!

So I worked this last Saturday and could not wait to get out to spend some time with my niece. We had a great time! Went out to eat and shopped, talked and laughed. It was great! I had yesterday off to get some things done. I had to go sign the contract and drop off the deposit to the hall for Dom's party and get some things done for my mom's renewal of her Medicaid. So I slept in a little bit and then got up did my normal morning things. I get into the shower and the dr told me that I need to start covering my ears when I shower because of the ear infections I have been getting. Well, that is harder than what you would think. I bought those ear plugs and they just don't work they block all the water in LOL. I did, however, finally figure it out this morning. I get out of the shower the house is all quiet cuz everyone is gone and I am loving it! I started putting on my make up and my cell phone rings. It is my step-daugther. Now she is not my husband's daugther he just raised her from the time she was 2 so he is the only dad she knows. She wants me to take her to the drs at 12:30. So I agree I didn't want to but I was not going to say no. Nick was just at the ER with her on Saturday night for like 5 hours. She fell at work last week on Wednesday and got a kincusion (lol I don't know how to spell that). So her pain was still really bad.

Lets start with some history she is 32 years old and just recently moved out of her mom's house again. She has been married in her early 20's and divorced. Has moved in and out of her mom's house several times over the years never really making it on her own. She has always had money issues and was the only child so she was pretty spoiled and still is. When Nick and I got together he was still paying her car payment and cell phone bill. She was 26! I moved out once and never went back home. My parents would never have paid for my things. They would of told me if you can't afford it then don't get it LOL. So I bit my tongue because afterall it was his money that was paying it. He eventually stopped when he realized it was not appreciated. She then went out of his life for a few years and has come back just in the last 2 years. I love her personality. She is funny and I enjoy being around her. I have taken her in like she was my own. The thing with it is there is always something wrong with her. 2 years ago she hurt her back pretty bad and was out of work for 3 months. Last winter she had some normal sicknesses that you get in the winter. Last spring she had a tooth implant done. She ended up getting really sick from it and had it removed. I went with her to the ER like 4 times before she had it removed. The one night we were in there and they were trying to control her pain. They gave her dilaudid (spelling?) it wasn't working. So she asked the nurse if she could have more so they ended up giving her 5 injections of it. The nurse looked at me and said we cannot give her anymore because when people come in with injuries from a car accident we give them 1 shot and it works she has had 5. I didn't think much of it at the time. She ended up back at the ER like 5 more times and then they admitted her because it seemed she had got a bad sinus infection from the implant. She was put on a morphine drip. She got out of the hospital and went to an ENT he was trying to control her pain and could not so they decided to do sinus surgery as a last resort. She ended up having that done and was still in pain for months after the fact. So the summer went on and she ended up in the ER again because she fell and hurt her back. I get a call again could I please come there because I comfort her so much. She lost her job in November got a new one right way and in December she got walking pneomonia and was off work until the end of January. She was at the drs office like almost every other day during this time for different pain meds because she was in so much pain. So lets recap the events that happened on Saturday when Nick to her to the ER. She wanted dilaudid and they would not give it to her. They did a cat scan and everything looked normal. They could not understand why she was still having issues. So then ended up giving her Vicadin and a injection of dilaudid. So Sunday she said she went to Target and walked around for what seemed like 20 minutes and she was really in there for 3 hours. She said she gets confused now. We go to the drs yesterday and the dr says have you been taking the dilaudid I gave you. The dr had given her a prescription for 10 pills on Friday which I did not know. She tells the dr that her roomate flushed them down the toilet. She wanted to know if she could have more. When we walked into the drs she acted all disoriented. The dr said I can't just keep giving you narcotics. At this point, I am pissed! It hit me like a ton of bricks what her problem is. She wants the pills! So the dr leaves the room and comes back with a script for Demoral (spelling). We were in the drs office for like 2 1/2 hours. We leave and she immediately wants me to go to Walgreens on the corner which I did. She gets out of the car and walks in more normal than she had walked in the drs office. Now I am really pissed. So we then went to Wendy's to eat she said she could not hold food down for like 3 days. She ate and we went and got her prescription she took them in the car and half way home she said that she was wasted. Hmmm I am pretty sure that was the goal for the day. I was gonna go out in the hall and say something the dr but decided it was not my place. The dr ended up telling her that if that does not help then she will admit her for a morphine drip to control the pain. This girl did not look like she was in that much pain. I also forgot to mention that in January she was seen for anxiety issues and depression. She then was also put on several medicines. On the way home she says don't say anything to her roommate about anything she said. So, in other words, don't talk about him flushing the pills down the toilet because that probably never happened! So she wandered around Target that long and she is confused because she is wasted! When she is ok she does drink alot. So I finally got home yesterday at like 4:00 and told Nick I will never do that again. I told him my suspicions and he said he was kinda thinking that on Saturday night. I want to say something to her but will it even do any good. Lets not even talk about how much money we have given her in the last few months or the money her other family has given her during that time too. I just wish someone would pay my freggen bills. She has never asked for money but she will say things like I have not eaten in 2 days because I have no food in the apartment so what are you supposed to do let her starve? It is just annoying me right now.

Well, this post has taken all morning because I am working in between. It is now lunch time and Subway sounds yummy. So I am off to subway. Have a great day all.
