This is a blog about me, my life and my family!

Mental note here folks...NEVER EVER change your password...then forget about it...holy shit. I made the HUGE HUGE mistake of downloading Internet Explorer 8 Beta...and it erased all my passcodes. Darn thing. Two hours later of wanting to update my blog, I finally figured it out. Never, EVER again. I did want to update and thank Kat for linking me on her blog. She is an extraordinary woman, someone who I have been reading her blog for a long, long time. At first I was just a reader, stalker...never commented type of person. Then I got up the nerve to finally comment and she was just the nicest person ever. And it was weird because back when I was Single, I seen alot of similiarities between her and I. Raising the kids without a man around, all the daily struggles. I finally felt that I wasn't alone in this crazy ass world. I remember back in the day when she had her room mate, then not having her room mate then having her surgery...the first one. Then more recently her second one. I remember ALOT of things, sometimes I have to jar my memory. But I really do appreciate everything she does not only for me, but for alot of people. This woman takes time out of her day to make sure she helps who ever needs the help and gets an answer for you, quickly if I may say. She is very dedicated and definitely deserves alot of more than what she is getting.

Nothing like have to listen to family, drama, and other BS. Then get into a argument with my boyfriend. I guess what irritates me right now is, I help him amend his taxes because he obivously he didn't know what he was doing back then. He then gets the amended amount, and I don't get a single Thanks. So yes...I am irritated. So now I am going to bed because the longer I stay online the more irritated I am going to get. I am just plain fed up with people, especially people online. Oh wait, never mind. Its not family, but people who I used to know back in the day.

My day started off early of course, it seems the days you wanna sleep in a certain person seems to make a lot of noise where of course you get woke up. IRRITATING!! Well, I got up and we went to Wally world, picked up a few groceries then back home. Watched the race, texted my Ex to see what time we were meeting for me to get our Son back. Well...let me say. What a trip that was. We were to meet at 5pm, at the gas station in Iowa. I stopped and got me a Mcd's Sweet tea.. Yum. Well, I got back on the road and ready to get on the interstate. And with it being so damn windy today, it has knocked out power to certain areas here in town. So lights were out on the road to the interstate. I got in my turning lane, and I notice the lights were out. My phobia, yes is no lights and people running and hitting people. Well guess what? It happened, right in front of me. I watched this lady just run the lights. I never saw her brake lights come on. And we all know that we stop at intersections when there are no lights, no matter what. Well she didn't. So she was going about 35mph and t-boned the person in the other car. I watched all the stuff in her car come flying to the front of the car. I watched the hood of her car crinkle like a piece of paper, and watched her hit the steering wheel of her car with her face. Its a image that is stuck in my head right now. I called 911 right away, was calm and cool with the operator. Told her there was an accident on the roads, and that ambulance was needed. I can't imagine what her life is like right now besides sore. She hit really hard. And not sure what the other person is, I just remember the car hitting the other car and watching everything that wasn't attached in the car go flying up into the dashboard. Not kidding you on that. Well, after I called I had to call my Mom and tell her how lucky I was, cause if I had not stopped at Mcd's...that would of been me. What's even scarier is I saw this person blocks away before the accident. I have been driving extra careful lately, like driving under the speed limit and being more alert. My Mom came over, we spent some quality time cooking and doing laundry. Its priceless times. Thanks Mom for coming over, and almost falling asleep.

I can't believe how busy I was today. Being only a half day of school, it had to go quickly. So the first thing we did was cash his check, eat breakfast, go to Pet Smart for kitty food, then out to my Son's Doctor for his meds, then to Walgreens to drop off, then to get my Son, then pick up my friend Dawn's kids...drop them at their Dads, kept Levi for a short time, ran out to Park View, Iowa to pick up some Pampered Chef items, then lunch for the kids, back to Wallllmart, then to take Levi to his Grandmas....then finally home. Yay!!!!! Now I am sitting here laminating a bunch of recipe cards for the Health Fair next week. I am really excited right now as I bought a laminating machine today at Wallllmart. And for some reason it was cheaper here in Moline than the Davenport store, almost $5 cheaper. Hrmmm. Makes ya wonder. I ran down to Office Max and got some recipes printed out. But I have always wanted a laminator...and now...I do. Whoot!!!

I am going to admit it. I am close. So much has happened lately, cars breaking down, bad time of month, bills, economy just suffering, friends losing their homes and so much more. I do not know how people are surviving. I do know today, I got gas for $2.33 a gallon which was awesome. But it still isn't helping the price of food. It helps with the weightloss. Not sure if I will need any exercise equipment like treadmills or anything now. Changing my eating habits sure helps. Just eating out is what makes it worse. I've stopped drinking colas, not completely but enough to where I don't buy it anymore. We usually drink water, tea or lemonade now around here. I think its a good thing. Especially for my Son. He doesn't need colas. He's learning to adjust to the no pop rule. Anyhoo, ER will be coming on here shortly and I want to sit and relax.

At least outside before it gets too cold. We also need to get plastic up on the windows as well. Its getting cold out now, and don't want to turn the heat on yet. Yes you can call me a tightwad, but with the way the gas prices are you would understand. I have a few pots to get picked up outside and put away. Get the pumpkins picked off the vine, and put patio furniture away. I don't have any patio furniture covers this year because the old patio furniture stayed at the old apartment. Someday we will have some nice patio furniture, its just so expensive nowadays. Tomorrow after noon sometime I have to run to ParkView,IA. to a friends house and pick up some supplies for my party and Health Fair show next week. After the show, I am returning the items back to her that day. I am going to write down the items she lets me borrow so I know exactly what needs to go back to her.

Still not happy with the Wedding Photographer guy, he seems to be a real jerk. And its usually the jerks who win. I am glad they voted off Kelly tonight. She seemed to slow the group down. Granted she is probably good person , she just isn't cut out for Survivor.

My shows are on tonight and its my night to rest and watch TV. I went to the store earlier as I was looking at prices on a laminator. I have all my decorations, except white lights for the booth for the Health Fair. I got my Votive candle holders for the Fall decoration display I am going to set up. I have to remind myself to buy or find an extension cord as well. I sure hope that the table they set up for me is by a outlet. I hope. I need to find if I have the Cooking Show CD that I can play on the laptop during the Health Fair. I am getting more and more excited here. I need to get my rear in gear here, get some things done. My Shows are on in twenty minutes. Whoot!!!!

Days I will own enough pairs of pants. I only own like 2 pairs. I like my pants to be comfortable, I don't own the Manolo Blahnik collection but what I do own is all I have. I am extremely picky of my clothes. I can't afford a whole lot so I deal with what I have. I am so exhausted right now its not even funny. I am about to fall down and pass out. Tomorrow morning I have to go over to my friends house and help her paint a room. I want to be able to help her as much as possible. If I can get ONE room done, it will help her tremendously. I do have to remind myself to call the doctor and get a refill for my Son's medicine. Its coming to the end of the month so I know its time for refill. Well, I am so tired. Going to bed, I have to get up early. I promised my Son to stop for breakfast in the morning.

About my Son. Earlier while at my friends house. He was outside and he come walking in the door. He looked at me and said that he fell and hit his head really hard. And that he had a really bad headache. I know anytime a kid hits their head they are not to rest or sleep. So its been a couple hours later, he came home went to his room, and turned his TV on. He hasn't said a word, and went to sleep. Its not like him. So I am going to check on him here after I publish this post. I am worried.
