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

She was telling my Son about her trips to Texas and to Virginia to visit her other kids. She visited her daughter who lives in Virginia and I know her Son in Law is a big golf fan. Not sure if he's ever visited any farther south, well maybe as they lived in Georgia for awhile. If he's ever played Orlando golf then I am not sure. I do know that my nephew who lives in Texas had to have surgery not too long ago. See his older brother and him were playing and by accident his eyed got poked. Which in return the eye died. It turned completely white. So now he had one eye removed and he is to get a prostetic eye for it. The Eye surgeon asked what color of eye he wants. And the poor little guy said he wanted a green eye like The Hulk. I feel so bad for him, and I can't imagine the pain he went thru either.

I was driving along the highway in town here, its weird it goes right thru the town of Moline here. I noticed a new digital signage at a car dealership. Well not sure if its new or not but it sure was bright. I saw it about a mile away. I wasn't paying attention to the time, thank goodness the time popped up. I was going to go straight home but decided to stop at Ben Franklins to check out their scrapbooking supplies. I am in need of adhesive. I noticed some of my stock is either been damaged or dried out. So I've been watching the sales and such. I am learning the best kind to use too. I think I am going to take some pictures of my layouts that I have completed. I just may go do that now.

I haven't been posting as much as I used to. While working it took alot out of me and I didn't feel like doing crap. Now that things are different and I am home. I have tons of free time. I am going to start my scrapbooking back up again. I've been buying stuff here and there so now I have all this time while looking for work. What's nice is, I can have my laptop in the same room as my scrapbooking stuff. So if I wanted to hook up anything, say my printer in that room. I can do that and be able to hook my laptop up to it and print out anything I want. I have a photo printer so that helps. I think though next income time I am going to purchase a newer printer like a wireless one. I hate having all these cables.

Woke up at 8ish...of course can never sleep in. And its no one's fault but my own. I let the sunshine bother me. I should be able to sleep in whenever but that isn't possible. I just had my boyfriend run to the store to grab some vanilla ice cream. he he...we have bananas and actually a banana shake sounded really good. We also have strawberries and some chocolate syrup. Almost a complete sundae experience....lol.

He is going with his Dad for a week. I don't know what I am going to do without him. Seriously. I am going to miss him. But he needs this time with his Dad as well, and I shouldn't be so selfish. I sure hope he's good for him all week. I know he will be, but I still worry you know. Whoa...I am craving brownies right now. And I don't have any to make. Man!!!!

With having my blog and deciding if I want to keep it or not. I know I need to keep it but who knows. I am stressing but alot of stress was relieved yesterday after visiting the unemployment office. With my other job, I was able to collect benefits all winter long and I exhausted all my benefits and was done. Well I got a job during the last week I rec'd benefits so that helped. With me almost being done with my newest job, I rec'd a letter stating I qualify again. Like how exciting is that? Perfect timing in all aspects. I've been worrying about my bills, trying to get them all caught up. I get another paycheck, so that helps. My Birthday is also coming up. It falls on a Sunday so I am excited this year. Not that I am going to get anything for my birthday, actually I would hate for a repeat from last year. I would have to say...I was pretty upset. Well not upset but heartbroken. Anyway, I don't want to think about it right now. I would like to have a good birthday and a positive one. You know I get so depressed over other people who have good birthdays. A friend of mine, her parents take her kids out and buy something for her. And usually have a little party for her as well. Granted we all grow up and stuff, sometimes its a nice surprise to have a little party once in a great while. Maybe we don't want to let go of our childhood....ya know?

While driving downtown, we stopped by my Mom's work to see her for a few minutes anyways. I don't get to see her much and I wanted to see her. So we did, went over to the water fountain so the kids could play for a few minutes. After that, we drove up to Peterson Park to see the overlook and we saw a sign...and it actually confused me. I got lost....the sign that I thought was the park actually said it was a small business for sale. Smack. Duh. I really need to pay attention but then again it was dark outside and it was an area I wasn't too sure about. Then on our way home, we saw Mike heading to work cause I had to run to the gas station because I was almost out of gas. OOPS.

About if we find a place with more room, we are going to need some more furniture like beds. We need at least another bedroom for all of us to fit. We may have to go find some discount furniture. Because furniture nowadays is getting expensive. I am now in the process of buying a bed for my Son. His other bed decided to break completely and it was sitting on the floor. It really bugged me to have it on the floor. My Parents always made sure my bed had a frame, no matter what. Even if it was tire wheels. Hey whatever worked right? Actually I think that bed was when my Aunt needed a place to stay. I don't remember to well. I just wish we had a bigger house. Its crowded every other weekend. With kids.

There was a huge search for a person who committed a horrific crime. I won't mention it specifically but maybe if they had a GPS tracking unit or something like that to track down where this person was. Maybe so many people would not of been affected. But then again, we have no choice sometimes in that matter. I, myself would love to have GPS tracking. Now that my Boyfriends Son is about to get his license. He's a good kid and all but still. To have that piece of mind, and to have the access to know where your child is at all times. Just plop on the computer, and voila'. I thank goodness, it wasn't available when I was a teen. I could just imagine what my parents would of done. Then again, I didn't have my own vehicle. So they would of had to snuck it onto my then boyfriends car. Lol. Life is so funny sometimes. If it was available back when I was a teen, they would of seen where I was half the time. We always did fun things, Cordova..the movies, out to eat. We had fun. But then again...the first part of a dating process is trying to buy the girls love.
