U Gotta Be Kiddin Me

It was my Nephews 7th Birthday.  We went to our Happy Joes Jungle Bungle.  Kinda like a Chuck E Cheeses but always more expensive.  Had a good time, until my Sisters started agruing as usual killing the mood for everyone.  So we left before we got involved with their work holding and get stuck cleaning the tables. Boy it was a mess there. So after we left, we went to Joanns Fabric to find some fleece and got into an argument with the lady there. That’s for another post. Let’s just say, I emailed the company and I wasn’t too happy about it.

While making breakfast this morning, I was wiping out the pan and wasn’t pay attention to the paper towel and it flopped back and landed on my wrist.  Hot butter and bare flesh equals nice little blister.  I was just sitting here, actually forgot about it and my arm started to itch.  Soooo as I went to scratch, it immediately started burning again.

Maybe if my mind wasn’t so jumbled lately with my house being in shambles and stressing about every little thing.  I would not of burned myself. 

Tomorrow I am making some cookies and some mini pumpkin gems.  I will have my Niece and Nephew tomorrow cause its a half day and I am hoping to get some pictures taken.  I am going to get things prepared before the kids get here so its not so messy. 

I am going to go back to watching the end of Dancing with the Stars.  I sure hope either Brooke Burns or Lance Bass wins, they both have been excellent dancers.

Last week while running around paying the bills. There was an announcement on the radio about to avoid a road due to the Truck Eating Bridge just attacked another truck. I think it was one of those moving trucksbut I seen a picture on the radio stations website that it just peeled back like a can of sardines is what they called it. I linked it above because this bridge kills a few trucks a a month. And the most saddest part is, that there are signs for 5 miles prior to the bridge. FIVE WHOLE MILES of warnings, all the way from the interstate. I can’t say that the drivers are dumb or what not because I do not know what’s going on in their minds at the time besides….”Am I going to hit the bridge?”. One of the DJ’s just so happen to be in the area when it happened and he is actually in one of the pictures in that link and he really thought the driver was gonna do something to him. He was live on the phone and we all heard the driver getting upset. In the end, it was an accident…next time pay attention to the height of any bridge.

You know it always seems to get worse this time of year. I signed up last month to receive a Thanksgiving basket because I knew we wouldn’t have any money for extra food this month. I sat home and waited all day. Come to find out they gave it to the wrong house. Granted I should be thankful it went to someone else who I thought needed it. But instead this person has now gotten two baskets. And I know he doesn’t need all that food because its just him and his one child. I shouldn’t be so selfish right now, still it irritates me because there are five of us here and its very limited as it is. Especially when you take time out of your day to sign up for help, and me being so embarassed to even ask for help. It was like a slap in the face.
We do not have anything for Thanksgiving, as we are going to my Boyfriends parents house but I do not like going empty handed. I know this sounds like a pity post. I don’t want it to sound like that at all. But why is it the people who don’t need the help always get it and the people who ask for help just get overlooked?

A couple weeks ago, my Mom and I went to Hobby Lobby just to look and find stuff for her wreath she wants me to make for her. Well while we were there we can across some Hannah Montana Fleece. The one thing I know the girls will LOVE this Christmas is to have those fleece blankets that are tied all the way around. So we got enough fleece to make two blankets…one for my Niece Kelcee and the other for my other Niece Madison. I got ONE done….I totally forgot how long it takes when you first start off. So one done, and at least 7 more to make. I have to ask all the other kids what their favorite characters/people are so I know to make their favorite sleepy time blankets.

So now, when I get back from picking my Son up I am going to finish the wreath for my Mom….yes. I am slow Mom. And I think you will like it…I hope. Then back to finishing up the desk cleaning…I started earlier and got sidetracked with the plastic on the windows.

Anyone watch Days of Our Lives anymore? I’ve been watching it for such a long time that I feel like I am attached to the TV everyday at the same time and cannot be pulled from it.

On the radio the DJ’s always talk about their sleep number bed that they have gone to the store in the mall and found out how it worked. So now its something get as a bonus being a DJ for the radio station is a free bed. Which they and their wives truly enjoy.

I can almost tell you the exact time they promote their beds….just like clock work.

Started off Friday, really good of course.  My Boyfriend went to work…YESSSS.  Sorry, I love him but it was nice sleeping completely alone in the house and the whole bed to myself.  Woke up, to my Boyfriend coming home at approx. 730am…a whole hour and a half after getting off work.  He says he didn’t want to wake me up…lol.  Little did he know the cats already did.  Then of course, I hate to say this but one thing I absolutely despise is when I first wake up and you start asking me questions with my brain not fully awake.  I tend to get a tad bit moody.  Well that happened Saturday Morning, BLAH.  So we went and ate, and during breakfast a argument ensued which caused me to get up and leave.  Jealousy is a evil, evil thing to have.  And when one has that, and can’t let go.  It causes and stirs up alot of crap. 

Right now, I am sitting here thinking about bed,  because I am that tired right now.  I had to run to Letts, IA to pick up my Son which total travel time is about 2 hours total.   Which wears me out.  But tonight was something different.  Driving thru the State Park, I noticed all these pick-up trucks along the road.  Then all of a sudden.  This MAN walks out of woods with his orange warning vest on and this HUGE shot gun with a scope on it.  If a out of towner was driving thru they would of freaked out and called the police.  I think what made it worse was all the trucks, and knowing some defenseless deers are about to die.  I hate that crap.  I hate the killing of animals with a passion. 

Well…I sure hope everyone had a great weekend!!!

The weekend is ending with some rain showers that popped up out of nowhere.  And its a bit chilly only 42 degrees.

Yes, I say its really cold here.  Right now the temp is reading 23 degrees.  I envy the people who live in southern states where its a bit warmer….granted I would much rather be in a warm state allllll the time.  But I have always lived in Illinois and never in any other state.  We have not turned our heat on…YET.  It may happen tonight because its going to get real cold and I don’t want the pipes to freeze.  This house sucks in insulation.  We have more windows to put plastic on, like tomorrow.  Because you can feel a breeze in the kitchen. 

I really need to slap myself right now, I am making a comment on how cold it is outside and how chilly its getting in here.  I just realized the space heater isn’t turned on.  Doh!!!

I have an offer to all my friends down south…..I will send you some COLD weather…first class with free shipping in return of warmer weather.  Puhhhlease????

Leanne, thanks sweetie…I am keeping my chin up and remaining positive about it.  Cause I know in my heart, I didn’t do anything wrong and if I did why didn’t that person tell me.  So I will leave it at that, and move on.  I love life, I love meeting new people and finding out that this world is really such a small world and there are so many wonderful people out there.
