U Gotta Be Kiddin Me This is a blog about me, my life and my family!

I do..right now. I am depressed. I am lonely. I am bored. AND I am overweight. What can I do about all these things. Exercise more and lose weight. You think that if I did that, then things would be all peachy right? No, its not that easy. I've been trying for the past couple of years to lose weight. Just like everyone else in this world. Its not easy. I need help or something. Maybe I should look into that Leptovox. I've only just heard of it, but still would like to learn more about it and hear about any negative side effects versus the positive ones. From past experiences amongst people, I want to make sure I learn about any type of weight loss aid as much as possible.

And of course he won. He was so excited about racing the Mascot, who by the way fell flat on his/her face at the beginning. I totally missed his fall. But my Nephew sure ran like there was no tomorrow.

We don't have the Cubs/Cards/Red Sox or anything like that. Just the basball team from around here. This video is the Grand Finale after we beat the Peoria Chiefs. It was sweet. For warning, it may be loud so watch your speakers....

Tonight we went to our first Quad City River Bandit Game here in the Quad Cities.  Which by the way, was pretty cool.  Our team played against the Peoria Chiefs.  And of course our team kicked their butt.  Both of my Sisters showed up at the game as well.  It was a good time for all the kids.  EVEN THOUGH, they left before the 7th Inning.  Party Poopers!!!!!  We stuck it out, had to listen to these two snotty couples who obviously had no interest in the game whatsoever.  Besides talking about "fat" people.  I just wanted to slapped one of them across the head, but held myself back because as you know sh*t splatters.  They finally left ...phew...Thank GOD!!!!   The one girl had a big bug on her back...you think I would tell her?  Oh sure....just to watch her jump and scream like a little girl.  Too funny folks.  Let me tell ya,.  Karma is a evil thing.    So then we stayed to the end of the game and watched the fireworks show.  It was pretty cool.  Then trying to get out of the place was a joke within itself.  One entrance...ONE EXIT.  I made a comment.  Gee, if there were a fire we'd all be dead.  Got out to the van, started it up and pulled away to drunken idiots who walk in the middle of the road like they are walking a line..like when you get pulled over?  Well, I am yelling out my window.    Get out of my F*cking way people....HELLO!!!  I am laying on my horn, of course I don't like to have to wait for other people to decide to move when they want.  I will make a scene...lol.  I guess I am just tired of people taking advantage of me and other people.  The drive home...was more stressful.  I hate traffic.  This is why I could never live in Chicago.  Our town is under a Flood Warning yet again.  All the rain lately is causing havoc so certain roads are closed.  They were sandbagging around the baseball park as we were entering the game.  I have so many pictures to upload its not even funny.  AND MOVIES TOO.

Its been a long weekend.  The job front is not so good.  I am stressing myself again.  I do it to myself.  What is happening, is there is ALOT of work to do.  Its hard to explain to the other people the importance of cleaning and pruning the plants.  Its what helps the sale of the product.  I seem to be the only one doing it, well my friend Angela helps when I ask her.  BUT she is going on medical leave tomorrow.  Blah.  But this weekend is my baby boy's birthday party.  He is going to be 11 on June 11th.  But we are having it on Saturday.  I am hoping that everyone show's up that I invited.  Because I have a ton of games for the kids to play.  I have to get to the dollar store to get some prizes.  The games include, bobbing for apples..bouncy ball races, and the slip n slide.  Oh I am so excited about it.  And for the food, I am thinking about getting some vanilla ice cream and some root beer for Root Beer Floats instead of ice cream and cupcakes.  I may get him a small cake for just him.  I want Saturday to be a special day for him....I would like to buy some balloons too.  I have never done that for him.  I do still need to go shopping for him.  I asked what he wanted, and of course he wants the most expensive things...yah right..but I will buy him two of the things he asked for.  Which is the Indiana Jones Lego game for the 360 and the Indiana Lego Set.  He loves to build things, so he will have some fun with that.    Well, its almost 10pm.  I am trying to get the house somewhat straightened up tonight.  SO its not so much to do later.

You did what?  To who?  TO where?  Just kidding, wanted to get your attention that is.  Lately, life has given me a challenge.  Since the birth of my Son I have remained "overweight".  I lost the weight right after he was born, went thru a rough patch of being depressed and all I did was eat comfort foods.  Well.  Low and behold.  It didn't help me one bit.  I kept gaining and gaining.   Now I am at the point where I am losing again, without the help of any of that generic Phentermine. Its a slow process and I know I can do it. I walk ALOT at work. I sweat ALOT at work. My body is constantly on the go like the energizer bunny on lithium batteries...lol. I am taking on extra tasks right now. I am busy with Boy Scouts, and now with my Pampered Chef. I have so much work and its scaring me. My job is almost complete and I want to make the most of it while I can. Next week is going to be difficult for me. I have to get a full work week in for the next two weeks in order to get my car payment a few months ahead. At least until Sept. Wish me luck...

I rec'd my first box of stuff from Pampered Chef today, actually it was my paperwork and stuff.  I am waiting for the other stuff to arrive.  I will take pics when it gets here.  I have already used some of the products and simply love it.  I can also take orders if anyone is interested.  I am still fairly new but I can still take orders.  All orders taken, will be sent to the person who is hosting the Book Show.  NOT TO ME.  Obviously if someoen is located in California, I cannot drive there to deliver the product.  But its really cool, and the products are even better.  The colors of some of their items are absolutely beautiful. 

I am sitting here, thinking about the past two days events. Here's a recap. On Monday, at work it was such a beautiful day. Me and another co-worker decided to roll up our sleeves....LITERALLY. We used zip ties to keep them up. Well...umm. I "had" a farmers tan on both my arms from working already. Nicely tanned already too. Well...where my sleeves usually are was white, white, white with freckles. Now they are no longer white. They are a bright cherry red. Kinda irritated at the moment. Why? Because its on my upper arm and if I raise it above my head...it really hurts. Then today, well this morning. We had some threatening storms come thru. Heavy rains, no hail though. Then all of a sudden it was like someone turned a huge fan on, the wind was outrageous. We lost some hanging baskets, some plants and other stuff that obviously wasn't tied down. All of our trees were knocked down. Our greenhouse filled up with water like animal crazy. So its been a crazy couple of days. I really would like a couple of days off but that won't happen any time soon. I have to work as much as possible for my Son's Birthday Party in two weeks. Well off to watch my soap in bed, thank goodness for Soap channel on DirecTv...
