My Single Mom Life

I have been doing pretty shitty health wise lately.
I have been out of pain meds since Thanksgiving and just sorta of getting by.
Due to fax machine foul ups, my doctor never got my requests from the pharmacy for refills for 6 days and then today, the pharmacy never got the ok to fill them.
Until 6pm.
So my meds are ready and it's too dark to walk and my sis can't take me until tomorrow night.
I have been doing my best to stay ok and not push myself but I really can't bear it much longer.
I am in so much pain, all I want to do is lay down and cry.
This is part of my reason for not posting and the stuff I have been posting is just stupid stuff. (Look I did cat posts all day!) I know how much cat posts really irk some people but hey, you get what you get when I'm in fucking pain.
I'm lucky I have been able to sit here at all.
My hands are screwed up as well.
It's like the arthritis is moving into my hands now too because they are all just curled up and pained. I look like I have claws.
I look like my grandmother on my mothers side but without the swelled knuckles.
I used to be terrified of nanas hands.
They were like witchs hands.
I used to draw them in art class and the teacher and students would ooh and ahh and ask me how I created such scary hand drawings.
"My nana." I would say.
Shoot me if I ever get arthritis that bad in my body. I know she was a powerhouse right up until her death and I can't even figure out where or how she had so much strength and courage. I can only imagine her alone moments with no kids or grandkids around wishing for all the pain to go away, wishing for just one day of straightened hands.
I am not my nana. I am not that strong.
I am simply not strong enough for even one more problem.
I just want it all better.
Now.
Like if a genie came and said hey kat, what one wish do you want, anything, I can do anything.
I would take perfect health.
No money, no true love, no wealth.
Just perfect health.

She just delivered her first baby after an all day hard labor.
Poor thing.
It's so cute though.
Crappy camera though. *sigh*
More kittens to come!

The cat is in labor.
I don't know how long this is going to take but her water broke around 8am and she is breathing heavy.
It's gonna be a long day.

It's that time of year again.
Time for the Salvation Army bell ringers with the red kettles to be outside your favorite stores ringing their bells.

I was on a forum last night and I admit that I got very mad at one of the posters because the poster was absolutely giddy with glee that Target stores will no longer allow the SA to stand outside of their stores which is fine, but her reasons for being so giddy were downright pathetic.
No amount of explaining the rules of a charitable organization helped.
She was convinced that the SA were nothing but a bunch of crooks and thieves.
All because they failed to help her one year.

She asked for money for an electric bill and they didn't have it but offered gifts and toys for her kids.
They simply didn't have any funds allocated to the electric department at the time she went in.
If any of you have been on the receiving end of this kind of help or even worked for a charity that hands out help, you know that funds are divided amongst all the programs the charity does and when that money runs out for that fund, then that's it, no more money in that department until a donation comes in or what have you.

There were actually two women in this forum who couldn't see past their own "no funds" experiences to see the good that the SA does.
They called the SA bell ringers greedy and pushy and thieves.
Never in my life have I ever encountered a pushy, greedy bell ringer.
The problem with these posters was that everyone was a greedy thief because they didn't get help.
They didn't, couldn't grasp that because of people like them who are not tossing that pocket change into the kettles, that the funds for certain portions of the SAs help would not have funds.
At this time of year they focus on Christmas.
Toys for tots and food baskets for the needy, shelters for the homeless and then they put away funding for bills.
They also get some funding for bills from the government but mostly from regular folks like you who add a few dollars to their monthly electric bill and check off the box that says "help those in need".

This time of year, as you pass the red kettle and hear the ringing of the bell, toss in a few cents from your pocket.
It adds up and helps so many and if you ever need help your self, you might be able to get it because you and others like you tossed some change in a kettle.

Yes I do know about the house in California from a few years ago and it's so easy to explain these things but no one ever asks, they just assume.
The church owned a home, it was on their property but it was falling down and needed massive repairs etc.
The house was located in a very well to do neighborhood so in order to keep the property value of the house up to the communities standards, they spent $1 million dollars to do so. This million was considerably less than all the other houses on the street were worth but it improved the property value and the value of the home therefore increasing the SAs assets.
The SA owns homes for their officers/clergy to live in and also for people in need.
I remember one year as a kid, a family in our SA church lost their home to a massive house fire right before Christmas and the church let them move into that house for as long as they needed.
We all gave them gifts from under our trees and people donated clothes and household items etc etc.

Compared to many other charities out there like the United Way, the SA actually does give back to the communities in which they are located in spades with shelters, housing, food pantries, bill and rent paying, furniture, clothes. They helped so much during the hurricane season from hell here and I'm sure funds are very low because of all the help that gave out so please, when you see the kettles, toss in some change. Your .35 cents gets combined with everyone else and provides help to the needy all year long.

I know, I've been a bell ringer and someone in need.

This song is very cool, it is a remake of Duran Durans Planet earth and it is inappropriately credited as them singing it. I downloaded it off of someone else blog a few months ago.
I am a Duranie, no way is this them.
Nuh uh, ain't buying it.
Please right click and save as, listen to it and tell me who the hell it is so I can rename the file correctly please.
Thanks.

Actually, I just feel like listening to bad 80's music.
So for your listening pleasure I give you Slade-Run runaway and for Christmas, I give you, Ho ho fucking ho from the fabulous Monty Python.

Now, don't be a dick, always right click or Santa will instruct the reindeer in the fine art of flaming bags of poo.

Bacon tomato pasta.

It wasn't bad. I'd recommend a pinch or two of salt and pepper to taste. It was decent but could have used a kick.

8 slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, chopped
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tub (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Chive & Onion Cream Cheese Spread
1 cup milk
1/2 cup KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese
6 cups hot cooked penne pasta

COOK bacon in skillet 5 min. or until bacon is crisp, stirring occasionally. Drain skillet, leaving bacon in skillet. Stir in cherry tomatoes.
ADD cream cheese spread, milk and Parmesan cheese; mix well. Cook until hot and bubbly, stirring frequently.
STIR in pasta.

I came home and promptly fell asleep staying asleep until almost 1pm.
My bones are just in bad shape these last few days and my doc has not called in my refills yet. Getting very frustrated. I have nothing left for pain because I was expecting to have them on Saturday and I stretched them as far as they could go anyway.
Very very achy right now.

My mom sent my Christmas money home with Joey who had visited them for thanksgiving, and what perfect timing.
I never ever get to just spend it on something I want and my mom will get mad about it again like she does every year but the house needed trash bags and cat litter and I needed to get back and forth to Sebastians eye doctor which isn't a terrible walk unless I'm without pain meds which I am so I cabbed it. $10 gone for such a quick ride but well worth it so that my bones didn't decide to mutiny.
I got the things we needed and then mailed a package and bought two packs of deaths sticks (cigs. I know. bad. shh) and then I have about $6 left for whatever else comes up.
Sorry mom but household things and getting to and fro are more important than a trinket to me.
Sebastian was kinda bummed that I spent my money on house and not on me and said I could have his.
Bless his little blond butt. I said no, it's his money to spend for Christmas and this was mine and I spent it on what was needed.
I'm not as bummed as one would think not being able to get something fun and whatever but having stuff I need is just as fun to me in that geeky OCD clean house freaky way that I am.
It's all good.

So anyway, off to do dishes and stuff so I can make dinner later on.
Later days.

Oh and Mark is still being a little pissy ass cuz he didn't get to stay home by making fun of his brother telling him they are girl glasses.
Can I kick his ass now?

I think he looks absolutely charming and handsome. Of course as soon as I said that, he started to get all goofy.

Silly goofball. *eye roll*

P.S. Christine, I mailed your order out priority this morning. Had a very cranky postal worker who never even offered me delivery confirmation and just said, "yeah yeah, it'll get there in two days."
Please let me know when it gets there. *worried*

I'm so frigging close to killing those dogs.
I had to call the cops again last night about the dogs. They barked for 45 minutes straight starting at 10:30. I screamed out the back window to shut those little yapping things up and nobody did a damned thing so I called the cops and begged him to help me. It's excessive noise, they have to help right?
Well, the owners must have seen the cop car pull in or coming down the street and so they brought the dogs in.
Excessive noise only applies if the cop hears it.
ARRRRRGGGGHH!!
So very very close to dogicide.

Mark went off to school in a huff again this morning.
Sucks being healthy when you're a kid I guess.
Sebastian has to go get his glasses today and I think Mark just assumed he was going to get to stay home on account of you know, like moral support or something. Who knows what kids think.
He sat on the couch grumpily waiting for time to pass to go catch the bus answering my questions with quick and short answers and then didn't take his coat. Probably thinks that not wearing his coat is somehow going to hurt my feelings but uh, I don't care, I'm not the one standing at the bus stop freezing my arms off in a short sleeve shirt.
Kids don't think their guilt trips through enough.

The bus comes and I'm sitting out there watching and this jack ass in a black car comes right up on the buses ass and starts honking the horn.
Hello? Bus. Flashing red and yellow lights, little stop sign protruding from the side, rules and laws about buses? Any of this ring a bell with some drivers?
I guess not cuz this loony stayed behind the bus at the next two stops doing the exact same thing.
Ding ding. Give the idiot a prize for being this mornings road ass.
I'm sure they'll be more, it's going into season here. I've already seen a huge caddy do a u-turn right in the middle of a no u-turn street with a meridian causing the caddy to go bumpity bumpity over the thing and almost ramming two other cars in the process.
Had a huge wheelchair attached to the back of it too. One of those big electric ones like a hover round.
Dangerous on the road and probably run you over in the store too.
I live close enough to the fire station to hear when they go for accidents etc. It was non-stop all weekend.
Our accident rates are way low all summer and then you hit season and they skyrocket because seniors, some seniors, who come down here, 1) think they own the road and 2) think they can still see like a hawk and have the reflexes of a teen.
Crazy.

Later days.

Ya know, little conversation starters? I used to have this gigantic poster of Frank Zappas nose directly above the toilet but it creeped so many people out and then at one party one night, someone tore it down and destroyed it. Asses. Tampons and these rolls of tp.
Way cute.

I am still achy this morning and stuff so posting will be light until I feel better.

I'm trying to download some Christmas music to get myself in the mood.
It's going very slow.
I'm just so not in the mood yet.
Oh well.

The boys have now been playing the PS2 since 7pm.
This is a long ass time for me.
Sure, there is nothing on our cable less tv but repeats of it's a wonderful life etc but man, am I bored to death.
And they are loud.
Not just the game being loud but the boys playing the games are loud.

I just don't really have the patience for it right now.
I'm in a bit of pain cuz it's slightly cold and rainy and my arthritis in my hips and knees is just flared up and no amount of anti-inflam or pain reliever seems to be helping.
Can you imagine me back in a state that is cold for 9 months if this little bit of cold is killing me?
Oh yeah, I'd be bed bound all winter.
Whatever.
I think I'm just gonna go have one last cig, read another chapter and hit the bed.
Later days.

He was astounded at it's coolness.
"You set it to auto," he said " and the needle just lifted in the air and landed right on the first little line. It was so cool."
"We listened to my mom and dads Led Zepplin records, wow, that was awesome."

Sometimes kids just say the funniest and cruelest things all at once.

I made a cat collar because well, I was bored and because Terry suggested it.
She said up in Canada, hand made cat collars were selling like hot cakes so I made one.
Doesn't fatty look so cute?
She hates me for this...lol
I made it with fishing line and black and red bean beads with a lobster claw clasp and a bell. I wanted it easy for owners to get on and off and it's also just a tad loose so that if she should get caught on anything, she can get out of it.
Poor kitty. It looks looser in the picture than it actually is. She was squirming to get away...lol
Poor Fatty McNotail.

When do you decorate for Christmas?
If you do it too early here, it's inevitable that a heat wave will pass through raising the temps to 90 and you feel like an idiot for putting them up so soon.
If you do it too early too, how sick of Christmas will you be by the time it does get here causing you to rip the decorations down Christmas afternoon?
Sebastian says I need to do it now and not wait but I say December 1st is as early as I could do it for the whole sick of holidays factor. ex-roommate doesn't care, Mark has no opinion either way, he's just sick of chores. Poor thing, I'm so mean. ;)
So my question is, when are you putting yours up this year and how crazy decorating do you get?

CINCINNATI, November 26; The Procter & Gamble Company announced a voluntary recall of Sweep+Vac by Swiffer, a new battery-operated upright vacuum cleaner introduced in September 2004. The product is currently sold only in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Consumers should stop using the recalled product immediately.

This recall does not affect any other Swiffer products.

P&G has identified an isolated Sweep+Vac product quality issue. In a few cases, the Sweep+Vac rotor can lock up. If the unit is left in the "ON" position, heat can build up producing smoke, with the potential for fire. P&G has received 14 complaints of Sweep+Vacs overheating, including one report of a small fire with minor property damage. There have been no reports of consumer injury.

The recall involves discontinuation of all retail sales and a product retrieval from consumers. P&G is asking that consumers stop using the Sweep+Vac product immediately. Consumers are instructed to disconnect the Sweep+Vac by removing the top section of the handle. Consumers can do this by pressing the small green button on the handle, about 12 inches below the handle, then pulling the handle straight out. This eliminates any possibility of the unit overheating.

Consumers should then contact 1-800-487-5915 or visit www.swiffersweepandvac.com to receive shipping materials to return the Sweep+Vac unit to Procter & Gamble and receive a refund.

Even though this issue has been observed in just a few Sweep+Vac units, P&G is taking this voluntary action to ensure the safety of Sweep+Vac consumers and is working closely with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. P&G regrets any inconvenience to its consumers and retail customers.
P&G said the cost of recalling this item is not expected to have a material impact on earnings for the October-December quarter or the fiscal year.

I say that about all my stuff don't I? :)
Christine ordered a watch and necklace for her mom for Christmas and I made it with silver Bali beads and blue glass dime beads and some shiny blue dime beads. It is very pretty.

I never really thought I would enjoy making stuff.
My grandmother tried to teach me to cross stitch numerous times and I hated it.
My mom tried to teach me to knit and crochet and I hated both of those too.
I've never really had a good crafty hobby that I liked. Painting, blah, ceramics, blah, web design I just suck at but this is good. Very fun and I'm amazed at how I can see what I want to do when I just find the right single bead. It's like ah yes, that is the plan for those and these need to go with it and yup, that's the design and I like it.
I just really like doing it.

Her set is in the extended entry and on my beading pages.

The eye doctors wasn't open so no glasses until Monday. Oh well.
We went to the store and came back and the mail was here and my supplies for Christines order were here, I made the necklace already and it looks gorgeous.
Also in the mail, was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Widescreen Edition).
We watched that this afternoon and then I'll check out all the special features later on today or tonight.
I was gonna save it for xmas but decided I couldn't wait. I love these books and movies.

I'm kinda tired.
Walking and stuff and just general tryptophan hangover still hanging on.

Well, that's all.
Later days.

Man, I'm still stuffed.
Have a few things to do today.
Need to hit the grocery store for some supplies for the masses and hopefully go pick up Sebastians glasses if the doctors is open. They called Wednesday while I was out and said they are ready so hopefully they are not taking a long weekend.

Need to wake up the teen before he sleeps his life away.
He actually is blogging. I'm amazed.
Well, not really. Sorta. I told them last week when I networked everyone, that they needed to blog before they could go to Neopets or Runescape etc.
Marks been doing a good job as you can see but Sebastian hasn't updated since Epcot.
Shameful I tell ya.
Blogging is good for them at this age because it helps them learn to be better writers. They have to punctuate, use a spell checker, form correct sentences etc.
Before they hit publish, usually, I ask them to let me proof read it for errors and they generally can see once I've pointed out the mistakes, like a light bulb. "Oh yeah," said Mark, "I know I'm supposed to capitalize that and place a period there. I just typed too quick."
It's good for them and I'm sticking to that theory...lol

Not much else happening. Need to go check on sisters cats and the fishes and hope they didn't freeze to death. It got cold here last night. Brr man. I went outside this morning in my usual t-shirt and shorts with no socks or shoes and came right back in and threw on my fuzzy slippers.
That pavement was freezing my toes off.

Well, I hope you all have a great Friday and a good weekend for those of you who don't blog on the weekends.
Later days.

We ate, watched A Christmas Story as is our little tradition.
Then the boys played Sly Cooper & the Thievious Raccoonus for a few hours while I finished off 2 bracelets for an order.
Kylie wanted a very simple black and white bracelet and then a name bracelet for her 6 year old daughter.
In the extended entry.

We've just a had a good, relaxing day with our little family.
The food was great, everyone was happy and having a good time together and we all said what we were thankful for.

Mark is currently teaching ex-roommate how to play Runescape and Sebastian is playing with toys.
I have a load of laundry going and still no baby kitties.
Oh well.
Hope you all had a great thanksgiving with friends and family.

The turkey is done and everything smells so good. I set the table with my lace and china and my sterling service which was a gift years ago. The lace, I think I got from my gram in-law. It's old and I only use it for holidays.
I have Mr. Pepper and Mrs. Salt from Publix. We love these and the commercials that Publix makes every year.
My favorite is the Christmas one with the snowman and the angel and the baby.
Great stuff.

Just waiting on ex-roommate to come home to start eating the food and enjoying the day.
Her job made all the employees work at least 4 hours today.
Oh well but when she gets home there is a feast to be eaten.
Oh, our high school band, The Riverview Kilties, were in the Macys parade. They are an incredible high school band.

Hope you're all enjoying your day.

I have so many things to be thankful for this year, I simply can't list them all.
I am thankful for friends, family and everyone who stops by here everyday and says hello and supports me with words of encouragement.
I am thankful that this year, I finally saw doctors who want to help me and can.
I am thankful for so much, there isn't enough I could say to say thank you to everyone in my life.
This post would be never ending.
Thank you and you, and you.
I am so greatful for all of you.

I will be cleaning and cooking here pretty soon.
Doing the traditional stuff this year, breakfast, parade on tv, movies, food and more food.
May you all have a wonderful day and spend it with those you love and who love you and mom and dad, give my niece a huge hug from Aunty Kat when she gets there.
I am happy and greatful that my sisters wishes and dreams of becoming a mother finally came true this year and that "our" baby is beautiful and smart and fun and a part of our lives.

ex-roommate and I went and saw National Treasure this afternoon.
It was pretty good. Lots of action, only one corny kiss scene. It was like they had to throw it in there or something.
I'm not really confused but what I mean is this movie, they say the Knights of Templar and the Masons were protecting this huge treasure of gold and wealth and statues etc etc and I'm reading the The Davinci Code where the Knights of Templar and the Priory of Sion are protecting the holy grail.
The movie was a good time. Not factual but fun.
Some movie critics are like it's pure crap but ya know what? I don't go to movies to see facts all the time, I could watch documentaries for that. I go to the movies for a good time and this movie was a good time.
It was exciting, thrilling, interesting, some good humor, Nicolas Cage which is always a good time ;) and Justin Bartha who was in the wretched movie Gigli but is absolutely adorable and funny in National Treasure.
All in all a good time and a fun afternoon out.

Sebastian is up and gone out with my sis, Mark and Mikey are snoozed out on the couch and floor and ex-roommate was up. Where'd she go?
Oh there she is, heading out to the bank and stuff.

ex-roommate and I are heading out to see National Treasure later today. Something fun to do and matiness are cheap.

I think the kitty might be in labor.
She's hiding and nervous and meowing a little bit.
We'll see huh?
I guess that's all from here for now. It's kind of a quiet morning and not doing too much.
Later days.

Mikey is here sleeping over and they are playing Shrek 2 again.
It's such a cute game and would ya look at that? 3 teenage boys playing a cutesy game that contains no blood or animated violence and having a great time.

Sebastian is heading out with my sister tomorrow while she takes care of this boy Greg that is like her second job. Greg has an older brother named Matthew and so Sebastian goes to play with him so Jo can take care of Greg who has MS I believe and my little cutey Susan.
She is so funny, she cracks me up.
She's learning new things everyday and now she sticks her tongue out at me so that I'll stick out mine.
I have my tongue pierced and she loves to try and grab it...lol
I stick it out, let her little fingers get close and then zip it back in.
She laughs hysterically and keeps reaching for me.
My sis said then when she says "Susan, want to go see aunty Kat?" She makes that noise I told you about. Here it is for my listening readers.

Oh, I picked up Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Widescreen Edition) for the boys for xmas today from CD universe.
Thanks to those of you who bought jewelery so I could get this for them. It's such a cool movie and they love Harry Potter anyway.

So I got this spam today that was so very sneaky and underhanded and you all need to be on the look out for these ones or you could end up blacklisting your friends.
The spam was your typical comment spam, come see my big tits or crap like that but in the actual comment, they placed the url for 2 legitimate blogs.
I know what their hope was, that I wouldn't blacklist them because I didn't want to blacklist the real blogs.
Sneaky devils.
So, I edited the comment removing the real urls and then saved it and then blacklisted it making sure that the only url blacklisted was the bad one.
Damn spammers will try anything to get their crap on our sites.

I hate romance novels. They are just, I dunno, icky.
But anyway, I read the backs of them to see what lame stories were inside and funny, both the lead females have amnesia.
What's up with that?
Is that the only way the men in these books can get women?
Hey baby, what's your name?
I dunno, I fell off a bridge and can't remember and I seem to have lost my purse too. But I do have this strange tattoo.

Yeah, these are gonna be great books.

That was a nice walk all by myself. It's not too hot out there today and I took it slow so I didn't burn up my hip joint again.
It really sucks when it gets all hot and painful like that.

Got another order for bracelets. Thank you Kylie. :)

Doing laundry and stuff like that right now.
Not much else going on.
Have to go to the store and pick up a few things tonight after sis gets out of work.
Have some big cleaning to do tomorrow out in the shed.
ex-roommates boxes that she sent over the summer are still crammed in there full of peanuts. She will be helping me because I can't do it alone. Maybe even get the kids to help out because they will be on t-day school break as of 2pm this afternoon.

I need to get up and take a shower. I've been a bum for 2 days now. Maybe that's part of my funk eh? Anyway, I need a shower and then I need to walk to the post office and mail out Jennies watch. Sorry babe. Had to wait on that money transfer and it didn't hit the bank until yesterday so no fundage until today. Mailing priority. Thanks so much. I love this one.
Is it wrong that I love everything I've made?...lol
Christine just placed an order for a watch and necklace and I ordered all the materials for it last night. I have a vision for this set. I can see it and the stuffs not even here yet.

I have to clean off my kitchen table for turkey day. Right now it's beading central but I need to pick it all up and move it for t-day dinner. It's pretty easy to move around. I have all my beads in baby food jars. My sister has a baby and I needed storage for my beads so I make her save all the jars...lol Each color/style/finding/ear wire goes in a jar and it makes it so easy to find what I want/need to do a project. Just lay out all the color jars I want and see if they match.
Easy cheesy.

I'm making t-day dinner for me and ex-roommate and the boys this year. My sis is flying to Maine early t-day morning. Someday I'll get back up there and visit again when I have the money to do it.
Making turkey of course, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry saucy stuff (gag), some sort of vegetable. I don't do the green bean casserole. I can't for the life of me figure out why people like that. It's so nasty. Green beans, mushroom soup, and those nasty freeze dried onions. (Vomit)
I refuse to even make it. If people want to eat that shit, they can make it themselves and bring it.
I'll do everything else no problem, heck I'd even make sweet potatoes with marshmallows if I thought the other people here would eat them but I don't like those either but I would make them for others cuz they do smell so good while cooking.
Um, I will have pie, rolls and the usual stuff. It's just the 4 of us so I don't need to go crazy with food but the turkey I got could feed like 10 people so I guess we'll be eating turkey for a few days....lol

Alright, kids have left and I can go take a shower and get moving here.
Have a great day.
Later days.

I'm outta cigs till ex-roommate gets home and man am I antsy. I can usually do pretty good without smokes for a day or 2 but today, I don't know what is wrong with me. I just need a smoke soo bad. Like I'm tempted to walk all the way up to her work to get them.
See, I transferred some paypal money to her bank account that she is letting me use and she got the money out at the ATM when she went to work but she's at work and I'm here and going nuts. Follow that?
Good.

Mark did good on his test he says. It can pull their grades up like 2 grade points he said so like a D to a B so yeah, he can stay after anytime to do those...lol
Sebastian is in bed already. I let them stay up to watch Vegas sometimes and he must have fallen asleep around 8:30.

Still no baby kitties yet but man is she huge. She just gets fatter and fatter everyday and can't run away when people come in the room. She just sorta realized that she's too fat to budge so she just lays there now.
I'm kinda excited about baby kitties. They're so cute.

Jenni made me a background and a header for my jewelry pages. I really suck at graphics so thanks girl. Some of my pieces are on sale too. Need xmas cash. Taking custom orders always.

I'm in like a blogging funk. Like I don't have anything really to write about so I'm basically writing drivel. I just feel like lost right now. Not depressed but just like not myself.
I think I'm just bored with the way things are right now.
Winter blahs are setting in I guess.
Oh well.
Later days.

After the kids left, my back was bugging so I went back to bed and stayed asleep until almost 1pm.
Oh well.
I must have needed it.
Sebastians home now and Mark stayed after school to do an extra grade test in science.
The kids had a choice to stay after and do the extra test to improve their scores so Mark and his friend Mikey are doing that now.
He'll be home later.
Sebastian is now playing Shrek 2 that he borrowed off a friend. Very cute game and good for small kids and even older ones. The boys both love it.

ex-roommate did the dishes for me while I was trying to wake up and work out my back kinks. Thanks ex-roommate. :)

I changed one of my skins out. I changed my ginger skin to a drawing by Kurt Halsey called "Moment". You can switch skins here.
I found him through Sporty because the dude is giving away 2 free ipods if you buy something through his store.
I figured what the hell, I'll try and win one seeing as how with no credit card, you can't do the free ipod thing. And the little buttons I bought are cute. I picked the music set.
Sure it's engraved but who cares, it's a chance at a free ipod and I want one.
Well that's all from here for now.
Later days.

Strengthening The Good: You, By Helping Build An English Library For Teenagers In Bratislava, Slovakia
And there's the opportunity: to help Douglas and the CS Lewis school bring English--which the students call "the language of freedom"--and a bit of genuine America--which is still widely misunderstood in the former East Block--to the teenagers of Petrzalka. Together, with just a bit of time and energy, we can build an English-language library right in the center of a former Soviet-era apartment complex.

To write something anecdotal about motherhood and kids about once a month for a website and a FLA newspaper.
I don't do anecdotal.
Not that my kids haven't done or said some funny things as they've grown up but I dunno, I just don't write fluff very well.
I am a much better writer when pissed off. I can write like there's no tomorrow about stupid teachers and school violence. I can write about how teachers fear a students artwork because it doesn't reflect their own values and morals or how bullies are free to bully and victims should seek counseling.
I can write about how my now 13 year old son is feeling his way through life and starting to mouth off and how my 11 year old stomps and complains about a single chore to do.
I do write fluff about the house, the lawn, the cats but I don't think I could honestly come up with some fluffy filler feel good story on command.
So much for fame eh? It's not a great loss either because no one was getting paid. Sure, the hits would be nice but with more visitors comes more responsibility to well, say things that are responsible and also more people possibly telling me just how wrong I am on a whole slew of subjects.
I get enough of that as it is.

The kids just mowed the lawn with the new mower. It runs very good, cuts the grass to a nice height, didn't appear to use much gas. Why the hell did they sell it for $10????
I woulda kept this baby till it fell apart...lol

The boys will be going with Big Bro George later this afternoon to do a beach walk to raise funds for cancer research. It's like 3-4 miles along the beach I guess. Should be cool.
I'm going to be staying here watching Godfather Part II on UPN.
Watched part I yesterday. I love these movies.

That's really all for now.

Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have.

Saw all the people I haven't seen in a few years that we used to hang out with. The kids were all there and the boys played with them and they had great food. Meatballs, ribs, ham, veggies and dip, carrot cake, chips and salsa. Mmm, good food.
I played with Vickis dog, Jenna who loves to fetch her rubber balls but hates to let go of them. Man, I wrestled with her for the ball...lol She would not let go. The harder I tried to pull it out of her mouth, the harder her grip got and then as we were leaving, she dropped it at my feet and wanted me to play. Awwww.
I like dogs I just don't want to own any.

Then on the way home, the mall had a mini carnival set up and Joey and ex-roommate and Sebastian went on the zipper and that back and forth ride and Mark shot darts and won a stuffed toy.
Came home, walked back up to 7-11 cuz I was out of smokes and then I had to put Marks new lawnmower in the shed with a padlock.
My sis got him a new one at a yard sale for $10. It runs great and it's small so I had to lock it up. Someone stole our gas can a few months ago so I wouldn't put it past someone to steal this cute, light lawnmower.
Later days.

All of us are headed to this party tonight.
There will be other kids there so the boys are going too.
It should be fun.
Man, I wish I had a good camera cuz I blew dry my hair which I haven't done in ages and man, it rocks if I do say so myself...lol
I know I know I know, me and my hair.
So anyway, I will catch up to your emails later and stuff.
Have a great night everyone.
Later days.

I'm awake but not awake. I fell asleep on the couch so I'm stiff as a board. My couch is super comfy but without enough room to roll over and stuff, I get stiff. I'll be fine. Not sore, just tight.

Not much going on here today. I have no clue what we're doing today. ex-roommate has to go to work at like 11 I think she said before I drifted on watching the news and the boys are just goofing around on Runescape.
Eventually, I'll fix that pc again for games but just having them be able to play that online game over there, across the room and not on my pc is sooo nice. Oh my deity is that nice. Thanks again Mike. You don't even know how happy that makes me.
ex-roommate was over there last night and I was over here and no one was waiting and huffing and puffing and no one was using my settings and changing shit and no one was downloading anything or saving anything to my pc. Oh so sweet not having to share anymore. Fuck the sims, I don't have to share anymore...lol
You wanna know why I'm like this?
It's been many long years of not having anything to myself.
I love my kids, I really do but c'mon moms, how many of you didn't go to the bathroom alone for most of their young years?
Someone was always trying to get in there to talk or pee at the same time. If it wasn't the kids, it was the cats pawing and scratching at the door.
Heck, I still have trouble being alone in the bathroom. I take a shower, someone always knocks, has to pee now. It never fails.
I buy myself a small bar of chocolate and I end up splitting it it all. It's not that I don't love my kids and I don't really mind having to share stuff or get interrupted but man, I rarely get to talk on the phone alone or do pretty much anything alone.
This second pc with net is so wonderful. I don't have to share anymore!! Woo hoo! One thing all mine!!

Have some cleaning I need to do today and maybe I'll be going to a party tonight with a whole bunch of girls. Maybe I can take ex-roommate. They are my sisters friends but they are very cool. I've hung out with them before and stuff so I know them, not walking in blind you know how much that sucks.
They are all bringing their kids too so it could be fun. The boys would hate it so they could stay alone or have Mikey sleep over. It would only be a few hours and the boys do pretty well on their own now that they are older.

Ok, enough rambling.
Later days.

He needs glasses.
Glasses and braces.
Poor kid.
Other kids can be so cruel but the glasses he picked out look great on him!
They are going to call me in about a week to come pick them up. He needs to wear them all the time because his eyes are weak so they don't focus like they should.
The walk wasn't too bad. It was like walking to the store twice so I am hurting but no too severely.
We stopped at the store on the way back and got some drinks and sat on the bench for a few minutes so I could rest my hip and now we are back at the house and resting before my sis comes to take us to the store for food stuffs.
That's all for now.
I need to go get a anti-inflam so that I can make it through the store without that white hot burning feeling.
Later days.

I have peace and quiet and nowhere to go until after school.
Sebastian has an eye appointment at 3 not far from here. We should be able to walk there.
I hope.
The address tells me it's just past the intersection near our publix so that's not too far. We'll just have to leave as soon as he gets here so my aches and pains can make rest stops along the way.

My friend Shell called me last night. She's coming down in January! Yay!
She has to drive a u haul down here for her aunt who lives in Bradenton and she's bringing her 4 year old son.
They will be stopping at another friends house just outside of Florida then going to Bradenton to her aunts and then she's going to spend a few days with me! yay! We haven't seen each other in a little over 3 years. The last time I was up there, it was July 2001. Baby Micheal was just that, a baby. I can't wait to see how big he's getting.
In February, ex-roommates mom is coming down to visit us too.
I swear, they are both coming at the best time of year. The weather is perfect then.
I can't wait to see her! She is like the only friend I visit when I go back to Maine. I just don't bother with the old friends because well, they haven't changed at all. No growth. Still drinking and drugging up a storm, still the bums they always were. Shell and her hubby are doing good and bought their own home and a couple of trucks etc.

I have a few hours to myself today so I'm hoping I can get around to visit everyone.
It's so hard to blog hop when people are home...lol
Somebody always wants something or needs something and then gets me all sidetracked from my blogging duties with attempts to fix stuff.
I'll figure out the Sims thing but not today. I need a mental break from it because I seriously spent far too many hours getting up and down and back and forth from my pc where I was chatting with Mike who was so helpful and patient with all my questions, (Thanks Mike) to the other pc to download and try all the fixes and shortcuts and everything.
I will be so majorly pissed but happy if all it takes is to like re-install the sims. Since I installed it, I have made several major changes to the system and sometimes, just re-installing the program makes it all better.
I will be very irritated if it's that simple mainly because I spent so many hours doing shit and yelling at the fucking thing.
I think I scared ex-roommate at one point cuz she just looked at me and then went quietly into her room and closed the door...lol
Sorry. :)

So anyway, that's all from here for now.
Later days.

ex-roommate and I went downtown to see a movie.
We were going to see Saw or After the Sunset and then we decided to have some laughs instead and see Seed of Chucky.
It was very funny.
I know most people think these movies are stupid and cheesy but that's exactly why I love them.
It was funny and fun and crazy and Billy Boyd of LOTR fame is one of the seeds. So funny. John Waters, Redman.
Bloody and funny.
Do I think you should go to a regular night time showing? Maybe not but an afternoon matinee like we did was just right.

We stopped at a store across the street from the theater and they had THE ultimate present for Mark. So I am going to bust my butt selling jewelery to get it for him for xmas. He has been bugging for Boba Fett stuff for years now and this would make him the happiest kid on the planet.

I have some stuff to do. Make dinner and take my meds and then I can do other stuff.
Later days.

C'mon guess.
Mark.
Came home from school with a fever, stuffy nose, sore throat, coughing and went and laid down at 2:15 and stayed asleep until dinner at 6pm. Then went back to bed at like 8:30.
I woke him up this morning for school and he's just so stuffed up and fevery so I gave him some Nyquil and let him go back to sleep.
Woke Sebastian up at 6 and he's getting ready for school now.
Yay.

So now I have a new problem with boys pc. XP and the Sims worked fine until I networked it.
Now, you click on Sims, it starts going through the start up screens, crashes the whole computer to restart and then it sends an error report and says it's a display device causing a problem. So I followed all the suggestions they had of setting the graphics accelerator to none and restart and it keeps doing it.
It wants to download service pack 2 but won't. (Automatic updates). It gets half the service pack installed and says it can't continue due to a display problem. I'm so confused.
Confused but learning butt loads about computers this week.
Going to chat with Mike D on AIM at some point and see what he thinks. He seems to know a hell of a lot more than I do.
I swear, if I have to get a new graphics card I may just blow a gasket and put my foot through the monitor.
It's using 3dfxvoodoo right now. Yeah, it's an old card, it's an old free computer so I knew there'd be problems doing stuff to it but it seems like I get one thing working and then bam, something else pops up.
Grr.

In other news, I was supposed to go back to the docs today but the problem I had, cleared up. Completely. Hrm.
And the scheduling nurse "snuck" me on the schedule saying "I don't know how you got on the schedule. Understand?" Yes I understand, no clue, made the appointment weeks ago, there must be some mistake in the computer or something.
But do I go now? It's gone. The rash I had is completely gone since yesterday. All gone. Poof. Magic.

Got 2 emails about jewelry. One to sell a piece I had already made and another to make a huge order of bracelets and earrings.
Bring it on. I can do it and would love to. I appreciate all the orders so much and I have a ton of fun making them.

Ok, I guess that's all for now. I'm tired and my back is freaking out from all the up/down back/forth from my pc to answer emails and to theirs to see if I can fix it.
I wonder if simply unplugging from the dsl would let the game play again or if it really is a graphics problem.
But hey, it's online right?

ex-roommate s pc is missing some major file apparently.
XP setup got not even halfway through and stopped because it was missing some much needed file.
Oh well. I have 2 pcs online and that's good enough.
They can all use that one...lol

We went to the docs, rode the buses, went to Eckerds which is turning into a CVS, got meds, shopped.
They had Hydrience haircolor at 90% off!
I got 2 boxes for .70 cents each!
ex-roommate bought like 6 of them...lol
I got heads for the Colgate toothbrushes for .50 cents each.
Ohh, man, deals galore!
Came home and there was a box from Mike D.!
Mike sent me and Ethernet card to hook the boys pc up to the net and within 15 minutes, I had them online.
Yes!
I am now installing xp on ex-roommates so that I can network her too because Mike is also the kind and very generous person who sent me the router and also included in the box was a new cd burner which I will probably attempt to install on Friday.
I am just pooped now and installing shit.
Will be back later.

Have to leave the house very early. Like 6:30 to catch the 7am bus. ex-roommate has a doc appointment at 9 and I need to speak with my doc about some stuff.
I am like so not awake.
When I get the boys up, I'm usually still half asleep as they get ready and then as soon as they leave, I fall back to sleep.
Crap.
I gotta get up and take a shower. *wah*
I'm just not ready to get moving yet.

So the boys get home and I have some chores for them. I needed Mark to go to the store and get a few things that I forgot and set Sebastian to cleaning their room. I got a why do I have to do it alone and I said well you weren't going to do it alone. I was going to have Mark help you when he got back but seeing as how you can't just follow a simple order, you can do it alone now.
He huffed and puffed and even shed a few tears.
Mark went to the store and came back and sat down and said he was very sorry and wouldn't argue with me again. (I'll believe it when I see it) He said he was just angry and didn't mean to disrespect me but just wanted what he wanted when he wanted it. Won't happen again. He swears it.
We'll see.

Got a letter from the school.
Sebastian failed his eye exam so now after school Friday, off to the eye docs we go.
Yay.

Oh that's right, they are kids.
So I get the silent treatment this morning and when that wasn't as effective as he wanted I got followed around with him going Hi mom in a low sulky voice.
He posted on his blog.
See, I let Sebastian stay home yesterday because I needed help. I've talked about it before that when I have to go shopping or to the docs, I have to have someone with me.

We had zero food in the house. Zero. I could have waited for ex-roommate to wake up yesterday and go with me but she works nights and she sleeps like the dead and wakes up an hour before she has to leave for work. Honestly, young people can sleep their lives away.
Anyway, I could have waited until they both got home from school and taken both of them to the store but they just beg for shit all through the store, distract me and then I deviate from the list.
So I took one kid. I let Sebastian stay home. Bad mommy me all you want but I need help doing the shopping. Bending and lifting is not something that I can do with any ease at all.
It was his turn to go.
Back in September, Mark went with me on bill pay day because ex-roommate had to work that day and when we had an hour to wait for a bus to come back, we went to Mcds and then to Wal*Mart so I could get new undies and stuff.
October and November, ex-roommate went so it was Sebastians turn to help me with something.
The school knows that I require help as well and as long as the boys get all their work done and do any make up work, they don't have a problem with this.
What Mark wanted yesterday was to just stay home and sleep. Not help me at the store but sleep.
I said no, not your turn, go to school. Followed by stomping and huffing and puffing and slamming of doors at 6am.
I asked him what he wanted from the store. Not as a bribe as he thinks it was but a genuine question because I had not written any snack foods at all on my list which I swore I was going to stick to but I asked both of them for one snack that they wanted.
Mark thinks I was bribing him to go to school with food.
Whatever.
Fast forward to this morning, silence, hemming, hawing, moaning and then finally when I failed to respond to all his verbal clues of utter disgust with me, he gave up.
They both asked some dumb ass question about video games this morning and that's when I said I had had enough.
That today after school they will do their homework, then they will clean their room, then they will take care of their damn animals and then maybe, if I feel like it, they can do something fun.
I'm sick of the new attitude already and I'll be damned if I'm going to take it because as I told them, I'm a very laid back mom. I give them days off to assist, I got the school to agree with those days off, I let them play their games for hours on end right out here where I have to hear it, I go out of my way to repair their computer and whatever else that they want done NOW, I do all the damn cleaning, cooking, laundry and whatever fucking else has to be done and they sit on their asses and play games.
At their ages, I was cleaning the house, doing the dishes, raking leaves and shoveling snow and delivering newspapers and whatever else my parents said to do. We kids just did it no questions asked and the few times we'd get lippy, one stern look from my dad was all we needed to go right back to work and not ask again. He didn't spank us or hit us or anything, we just obeyed because they were the parents and we were the kids and that's the way it was.
Drill sergeant mom took a few months off and let them slack and have it easy.
Well she's back and she's pissed.

The kids are driving me up the wall.
They are fighting and arguing and just being general pains in the ass.
They are being loud and obnoxious today.
What happened to my sweet boys?
Oh I know.
Puberty.
Yippee.
They argue with each other over everything.
They argue with me over everything.
Just last week they did as they were told and all of a sudden, it's "in a minute mom. Not now mom. I'll do it when I'm ready mom. " And my personal favorite, "Why do I have to?"
Cuz I said so dammit.
I am the supreme fucking ruler of this house and I said do it. Now. Not in a minute, not later, not when you're ready. Now.
Todays crap was because Mark asked to stay home and I said no and so he spent the whole day (the whole damn day) at school stewing about the fact that I said no. The phone call? Had to make sure I knew he was still mad about it.
When he came home, he walked past me without so much as a glance and then when he felt like it, he asked me why I didn't let him stay home.
Because you have to go to school and it's my job to make sure you go.
I let you stay home when you have appointments and stuff, heck I even gave you a day off because I needed your assistance with something that I had to do so don't fricking argue with me when I say go or you can just start hating me right now for all eternity because if you think I was mean this morning, just wait.
You just hang onto your socks baby cuz I can only get worse from here especially when I'm getting tons of attitude.

I'm having so much fun right now I can't even begin to describe it all for you so that you too can revel in my joy.

He basically called just to remind me that he was still mad.
I asked why he didn't just say that on the phone and he was like cuz everyone was listening. "I just wanted you to know I was still mad".
Great.
Get him some all black clothes and some black nail polish and hand over my I'm so depressed music from my teen years.
Here we go.
Yippee.

Mark just called me from school to "touch base".
Me: Is everything ok?
Mark: No, not really.
Me: What's wrong? Did you get in a fight?
Mark: No. I can't talk right now about it. Everybody's listening.
Me: Ok. Uh, will you talk about it when you get home?
Mark: Yes, I just needed to touch base. We'll talk when I get home.
Me: Ok. See you soon.
Mark: Bye. *click*

Me: ???

The clean install went very very smoothly but Mark is gonna be pissed.
I can re-install all of the games they had on there that they actually play except for one.
His favorite.
Shit.
Had I known that we gave the disc to Mikey or it is Mikeys disc, I wouldn't have done this yet.
Fuck.
He plays Tzar. He loves that game. Crap crap crap.
Yeah, just one more thing for my angsty teen to be mad at me for when he gets home from school.
Oh yeah.
Mom of the year is so out of the question this year.

I did pretty good. Not bad at all. Got all the meat for the month and all the fixings for the first 2 weeks and still doing really well money wise. I can make this work.

I am right now attempting a clean install of the xp. I hope this works. It said do you want to erase everything on this partition? Uh, yeah, sure. That's what I was hoping to do.
I think.
So let's see if I can do this right or if I just fucked up this computer forever...lol

Where are you?
It's about 63 degrees right now, supposed to warm up but it's a bit windy. It actually feels like fall around here.
I love it.

Heading to get groceries in a bit. Need to get food and stuff for the house. Going to try and stick to the plan and not get too many easy foods. As much as I love fend for yourself nights, it's expensive letting people cook for themselves. I'm really hoping buying for weeks at at time will be cheaper than how I have been shopping. It's got to be.

I installed win XP on the kids computer last night just for a test run and it went well but I need to do a clean install of it because they have mega crap on there and it needs to come off.
We got their pc from a woman my sis works for. They bought a new one and gave her the old one and she gave it to me.
It's pretty decent. Was running win 98 but this win xp looks nice. I do not like the log on stuff though. What a huge pain in the butt and I just know that people are going to mess with their individual settings and then we'll have an oopsie every other day. I can feel it.

I need to take a shower soon cuz I was super lazy yesterday and didn't take one. I laid around all day watching cheesy movies and stuff.

No sign of kitties yet. I know it takes awhile but she is just fat and nipply. No babies yet. Hrm.

Later days.

We are having a Green Giant Teriyaki meal with rice.
Simple, cheap (they were on sale 2 for $4) and pretty good tasting.

What are you having?

Posted by Kat at 6:16 PM | Permalink | Comments (6)

I just cleaned out the fridge in an attempt to keep myself busy because all I really want is a cig and my body is just like no way are you walking to the store bitch. Suf-far!
So anyway, I cleaned out the fridge because I am going grocery shopping tomorrow. (Ya hear me back? We are going and you will cooperate or no heating pad for you!)
I planned out my monthly menu and the accompanying shopping list and so the fridge must be free of tupperware with who knows what in them.
Ok, that was leftover chili cheese dip, that was the sausage/burger dirty rice mix that was asked for and hardly eaten, these are old potatoes. Great. They have legs and arms now and not just eyes. Fab.
Do not open the eggs, the date alone tells you that's a bad idea.
Wait, what is this?
Clearish tupperware bowl looking a little pink. Turquoise lid, white something in there.
Open it, go ahead, it's only food.
Good fucking gravy!
What the fucking hell!?!
*Nearly vomiting from the smell I scrape the what is it substance from the bowl.* I do not toss tupperware unless I absolutely have to.
Oh, it's smooth, creamy, seems to be white once you get past all the pink and green fuzz.
Aha! It's cream cheese!!
A few months ago I bought a block of cream cheese cuz it was cheaper than the little tubs they sell. Placed it in the tupperware, looks like I used it a little bit at least, then proceeded to shove it to the back of the fridge into the dying place for forgotten foods.
That was mighty nasty.
Gag.

I get up this morning and turn on the news and then the monitor and try to open firefox up and and and...
Oh my fucking gawd!
Something called jagex is trying to run and the user profiles for firefox are telling me that the default profile is in use.
Ok. Calm down.
Open a new profile and open firefox.
All my stuff is gone. All my faves. I search for what the fuck happened.
Where the fuck is all my stuff?
Search for answer, open firefox.exe -profilemanager, delete the second profile that I had to create in order to open firefox at all and then close out of it.
Re-open firefox and oh thank fucking heavens all my shit was here.
I was seriously thisclose to killing them all.
I went to bed with a good behaving puter and woke up to all my stuff gone.
I was so ready to beat people and ground them all from it. If I fuck up my shit that's one thing but it's mine and when other people fuck it up, I'm not a happy girl at all.
I know, raging bitch right?
No, just very dependent on my puter for a lot of stuff.
I feel better now that I fixed it but man oh man, was death standing on the front door step for all who live here.

My niece is so much fun.
She was doing all kinds of crazy stuff.
One bad thing happened though.
I had mopped her floors for her and I guess they weren't all the way dry and Sebastian went to go to the bathroom and slipped and fell.
He's ok but his heel went through her wall.
Yeah, through the wall.
There's a nice big round hole near her baseboards now.
We go over to help her and end up leaving a hole in the wall.
Oops.

Oh we're all doing fine.
Over here at my sisters house. The boys did the chores she needed done and now we're just hanging out eating pizza and stuff.
The baby is being super fussy.
Teething.
I had forgotten just how miserable babies can be when teething. My boys are so old now...lol
Thank gawd for baby orajel eh?
Nah, she's ok. She's just doing what babies do.
I put her down for nap a few minutes ago because nothing was making her happy at all.

While I have a chance, I'm gonna get around to as many of you as I can.

Going to go babysit for my sister later on and Mark is going to mow her lawn and Sebastian is going to clean up some stuff for her and I'm gonna play with the baby.

Sebastian updated his blog about his trip yesterday. He had a good time but was dead tired when he came home. He said Mission Space is incredible. Very fun and really feels like you're launched into outer space.
Sounds like fun to me.
Well, later days.

We're all tired so we'll be heading to bed soon.
The boys are already down and I'll head that way in a bit.

I'm so stiff this morning. I can barely move. Today is the lazy day, I don't care who wants or needs to go anywhere, I'm not doing jack shit.

The boys are off and Sebastians class is at Epcot today and won't be home until 9pm.
He's so lucky being in that class. They go everywhere and do everything. I would love to be a parent chaperon but they walk all over the place.
I'd need me one of them there Hoverounds to keep up with them. Heck, I want one anyway. It's beginning to be a real fucking nightmare going just to the corner store. A simple couple of blocks and I'm like losing feeling in my left leg and hip and then the throbbing burning pain starts in the lower back and builds to a white hot get down on your knees bitch type of pain.
Yeah, I'm so pleasant today. Just feel like crap is all.
I just have some shit going on that I can't really talk about cuz even though I feel like it's my shit and I need to fix it (cuz I'm the fix it gal when I'm not feeling broken myself) it's not really my shit to talk about know what I mean?
Good. Glad we cleared that up.

Oh hey, what the fuck is up with all those people standing around when a woman was getting kidnapped? Nobody did anything. Nobody called 911, nobody got a plate number or a description. They all watched but nobody helped her.
They keep saying it might be a hoax but what if it's not? Some woman got taken right in front of people and they all just stood and watched like it was a movie. She's screaming for help and yelling dial 911 and nobody did shit.
My faith in mankind just slipped down a notch again.
We can do what's right and help our fellow man. We can be good to each other and no matter how scared we might be, we can get involved and maybe make a huge difference in someones life.
Bad things happen because we let them happen.
Take back what is yours, fight for what is yours, fight for a total stranger in need.
Ok, end of humanity lecture.

I have been getting slammed lately with just a ton of comment spam and I love how MT handles it. It just moderates them like it knows I don't want that crap appearing. It does this automatically on old entries and did it to a few newer entries too. I got some nasty spam today. These people are sick.
But anyway, I got this one spam today for a data recovery site and I always check the urls to make sure that it truly is spam before I blacklist it. Some, there is no need like anime pr0n. No need to go looking at that one at all. But this one, had 800 numbers for people to call.
Me, being completely fed up with companies spamming my site that I pay for so that their google rank goes up and I in turn get more and more nasty referrer spam, I called the number.
I was polite. The guy who answered the phone transferred me to the president of the company. How cool was that?
So anyway, I tell him what has been going on, someone spammed my site 4 times in 20 minutes for his website and does he approve of these tactics. He said he never even heard of stuff like this and he does not have affiliates that get paid to promote his company.
He asked for my url so I gave it to him. He laughed at my splash page. Hey, it's just me, what can I say?
So I tell him that I don't appreciate it ya know cuz this is my website that I pay for and I have ad space for sale and I don't mind selling ad space because I'm a single mom, I can use the cash (thanks to all my advertisers. I appreciate your business) and if he wants, I would gladly promote his site through blog ads for just $20 a month but I don't do free ads unless it's for a fellow bloggers website.
I've promoted friends design businesses and charities etc but for regular companies, I'd like to be compensated.
he apologized for the spam (that's a first. No one ever apologizes for spam) and said he would get to the bottom of the issue because he doesn't want to be associated with nasty tactics like that to promote his company. I thanked him for his time and he thanked me for bringing it to his attention.
Do I believe that he was sincere or was he just blowing smoke up my ass?
I don't know but I do know that if anymore spammers hit me and I find an 800 number and I'm bored, you can bet I'll be calling them.
I love blacklist and I love that it rebuilds my pages super fast and takes the trash out of my database so I don't have to do all that.
So big huge thank you to Jay Allen for the killer app.

Tonight I made dirty rice with hamburger and sausage and then some extra sausage links on the side.

I made the bracelets and went to the store.
I have so much more I need to do.
I have 2 loads of laundry to complete and the floors look like hell.
Is it going to get done?
Probably not.
Messing around with the kids last night, Mark pushed me in the back.
It didn't feel bad at all last night but going to the store just now was so excruciatingly painful. Oh my deity do I hurt like I got hit by a truck.
Before I went to the store, I got a call from Jenni. She is doing ok but having some rough spots here and there with stuff. Wish I was closer to help her out. But all I can do is be here when she calls and call her and just listen.
I just want her to get better soon for her and for her pretty little girls with the awesome curly and fire-like hair.

I'm going to answer emails and stuff and then get back to work on the things that need to be done.
Later days.

Ok, not super busy but I am doing laundry and need to do some general cleaning today. ex-roommate wants to go to the store when she wakes up and I'm going to go with her. A little food shopping.

Making some bracelets that my dear friend Karen ordered.
I got all the beads and charms yesterday. I am shopping exclusively from The Bead Studio because they have great prices, better than anything local or any other bead site, they have everything I have asked for. I emailed and asked about Red Hat Charms and the next day, she had them up on the site. They ship everything priority. I ordered all of the supplies for Karens stuff late Sunday afternoon. They invoiced me Monday morning, I paid and they shipped. It was here when I got home yesterday, Wednesday. Super fast. Love them.
Karen wants 2 bracelets using pinks and purples and cat charms. The charms she picked out are gorgeous! I love the gold hanging kitties. Karen, wait till you see this first bracelet. Oh my deity. Is it wrong that I love this so much...lol
I decided to go with just the pink on this bracelet because the beads were just so vibrant and the gold cat charms just looked amazing with it.
Take a look.

Click for larger.
I just love the way this looks. It is so shiny and the beads I chose for it have multiple shades of pink in them anyway so there was no need to do 2 different beads. I just love this. It looks elegant in my opinion.

I finished the second one. I love this one too.
Karen has had some great ideas of things to put together.
Thanks Karen!

Ok, so Marks teeth are great. No cavities or nothing. Has to go in for a cleaning on January 7th. That's the earliest they have.
Sebastian on the other hand has about 6 cavities on his baby teeth and his teeth do need braces so I have to take him to an Orthodontist first to see about those baby teeth and then second to see about braces.
They may want them all yanked out so his teeth can try to grow in straighter or just yank them and brace 'em.
We have to make an appointment and see.

Met some weird folks on my travels today.
Won't be describing any of them because I'm pretty sure I've already pissed off at least one person with that picture up there so I'll just say, that if I ever see that family on the bus again with fucking encrusted scabies and letting their 4 year old lay across 5 seats, I will get up and smack the shit out of them for spreading such a horrible communicable disease.
Rotten fucking bastards.
Came home and thoroughly cleaned myself.
I have lived through a regular scabies infection before no way do I want that encrusted shit. No fucking way.

Ok, so that's it from here for now.
Will try to get around to see all of you tonight or tomorrow. Been a long day and there's no school tomorrow, Veterans day and all.
Later days.

*Hat tip to Shell, a hunter for the picture.

in a few hours.
Time to get cleaned and poked and scraped.
This should be fun.
Not.
Sebastian is more than likely going to need braces.
What fun.

In other news, I have to try and get everyone in this house to use Firebox.
My computer is dragging and slow and every time I run spy bot or ad aware, it is just flooded with spy ware and crap. Not to mention all the latest news of massive security flaws in IE.
So I deleted the blue e from the desktop and hope they can all get on board with it or they just can't use it.
I end up having to clean this thing everyday lately and I use Firefox and love it. Some pages look a little funny in it but who cares.

I have to get some stamps.
I need to mail off some old coins from around the world to a friend of mines kid.
He's doing a school project on coins from the world and when I worked as a manager in retail and at the bakery, sometimes someone would slip by a foreign coin.
I'd do my best to exchange them out and just take the foreign stuff home. I have stuff from France and Mexico and england and Italy, Jamaica, Bahamas, and I think it's a penny from Deutschland.
About 18 coins in all.
Funny, no Canadian nickels...lol

Need to get in the shower and stuff.
Later days.

And I did not forget that today is my moms birthday. I called her last night.
So wish my mom a happy birthday:)

When I posted about the military operation, Phantom Fury, I was not making light of the war. I was making fun of the name.
There is a HUGE difference.
Do I know people are dying over there?
Yes.
Do I know how serious the situation is?
Hell fucking yes.
Do I care about what is happening over there?
You fucking betcha.
I have a cousin over there. A young father, my cousin that I used to babysit and hang with when we were much younger. Heck, he and I were Mary and Joseph one Christmas for a family pageant.
I know all too well the seriousness of the war in Iraq.
I was making light of the name. Phantom Fury. It sounds like something out of Star Wars or a Saturday morning cartoon superhero.
It's a silly name.
I am allowed to have a little smile about something am I not?
Just because the war is serious and people are bleeding and dying does not mean that this blog has to turn itself black and for me to post sad mournful or powerful political messages every waking moment.

Can you post something back to me disagreeing? Sure you can.
Will I email you about your comment? Most likely seeing as how I respond to every single comment that I get through email.
Will you be able to persuade me to feel bad about a joke or post that I made? No.
Will I let you get away with chastising me? No.
This is my blog and if you take offense to something I say, fine, feel free to post a comment. I will respond and I may or not agree with you. I may be curt, I may be sorry, I may tell you to jump in a lake.
If you still aren't satisfied with my responses and think I'm a bitch, you may be right but you as the owner of your computer have a choice. You never ever have to come back to this site again.
I can't stop you if you do, but why waste your time posting comments on a blog that you disagree with?
You're entitled to your opinion but as owner of this site, and as an American, I don't have to agree with you.

I need your help foody cook people.
I need recipes.
I am planning my monthly meals and I am getting bored with the same old same old.
I want you to post a recipe on your site and then come back and tell me that you posted one.
I need approximately 14 recipes to fill up the rest of my month.
So c'mon, tell me what to cook.
Please keep in mind I'm working on a budget so no fillet mignon or lobster tails mmmkay?
Thanks.

A what?
You know, to celebrate January?
Oh you mean a new years eve party?
Yeah, that.
We'll see. I guess it depends on whether or not Mikeys parents want to go out for the whole night again.

I babysit for others on new years even and this year, I may just end up babysitting for my sister so she can go out.
I guess we'll have to see how it goes this year.

The kids are both off to school and then they both get tomorrow off for dentist appointments and then there's no school Thursday for veterans day.
I wonder what the school thinks of all these days off they get.
I mean, they have notes every time but still, we have a lot of appointments and stuff.

Our littlest kitty is pregnant.
She's a cat we took in. I have a soft spot for cats. So that guy and I would so not work out. I know you were all hoping that I would email him back and 'hook up' but see, the cat thing and my heavy drug (legal) use would just be a major turn off for him so I won't waste his time ;)

But anyway, she's gonna have babies soon. We have no idea when. She was skinny as hell when we took her in and then all of a sudden, poof, this giant belly and nipples everywhere.
I will try to find good homes for them all or take them to the shelter and then see about getting her fixed on the programs they have here for people on low income with pets that need to be spayed or neutered.
I'll take pics when they are born. I have a feeling though she's gonna have a rough time in delivery because she is such a small cat. I mean, tiny, tiny, tiny. Like still a kitten herself really.
The boys are all excited about it. They have never seen a cat have kittens before. All of our regular house cats are fixed and have been since they were old enough.
I feel bad that I couldn't have afforded to take her to the vet when we found her but I think they would have said she was already knocked up anyway.
That's pretty much all there is from here for now. Have some emails to attend too and stuff like that.
Later days.

Mark is gone out with his Big George and Sebastian and I are just hanging out watching tv and going to have hot dogs for dinner.
Yippe.
Man, I swear the days are just dragging or maybe it's just me going in slow motion.

Got a call from the lawyer about the Teen™.
I had to answer about 20 questions and go over some stuff.
We are still fighting this crap after all this time.
The Teens psycho mom first refused to get an attorney, lied about having an attorney, called my attorney at all weird hours of the night leaving bizarre messages on his voice mail and now keeps making excuses for why she can't go in for depositions on certain days.
She just keeps pushing things back and back and I think she honestly subscribes to the notion that if you ignore something or push it away, it actually will go away.
It won't.

Oh well. Not much else going on around here.
I just feel like napping all day.
And yes, I know Mark was sick this morning but I let him go with George because they had this planned long before he was sick.

Mark wakes up this morning sounding like a dog, coughing and fever and a sore throat.
Yay for illnesses!
I'm so sick of people and me being sick all the time.
We wash, we take vitamins, it doesn't seem to matter.
So he's home today in bed sleeping with a dose of Nyquil and 2 vitamin c tabs in his belly.

I was so disoriented this morning and had a few tabs open and I posted to Kirsi, have a nice day Karen cuz I had Karens tab open too. Sill me. Sorry Kirsi. :)

In other strange news which is damned scary, there are rumors flying that Jeb Bush is considering running for pres in 2008.
We'd have ourselves our very own monarchy.
I'm hoping it's just a rumor. Please let it be a rumor.
I mean Jeb has done a good job with Florida, namely the hurricanes but there are some things the whole country can do without and one of them is Jeb sticking his nose in cases of right to die.
He fought in the Terry Schiavo battle instead of leaving it up to the courts and the families, and passed a law in a few hours to keep her plugged in. Sure, it was found unconstitutional afterwards but he managed to get it done fast which just makes me wonder what else he may have up his sleeve.

Ok, need to find something to eat cuz meds on an empty stomach are not a good thing no matter what anyone tells ya.

Today is much like yesterday except today I had 3 boys all day telling me how bored they were.
Hello?
It's like gorgeous outside, you have video games and movies and all kinds of stuff but I need to be entertainment director? Bah.
So anyway, Mikey has gone home now and the boys have finally gone outside.
I finally have some peace and quiet and all I wanna do is sleep.
Figures.
So I'm gonna just goof off a bit on here, maybe go take a shower and then just putter around for the rest of the night.
Later days.

I'm still a member at Okcupid and I don't surf it much anymore but I was checking my shit over there one night and hey, look, you have an email from some guy!
Woo hoo!
So I go into my okcupid email and it's from Kenny666.
Dude is so not my type just looking at the pictures of his souped up Ford Taurus and his combination mohawk/mullet.
May I present to you his first opening paragraph.
The very first thing you read when you open his profile up.
The bonus is the last sentence.
*UPDATED TO INCLUDE PICTURES*

I like to have fun. I like to work on cars, ride my motorcycle, drink Bud Light and listen to heavy metal. I am a shorts-and-tank top guy who does not give a crap. I am hard-working and a bit possessive. I put my car above most people which is, uh, just the way I am. I live in South Florida and drive a tow-truck 24 hours a day. I am not interested in organized religion, needy moms, chain smokers, drug users and people who have a thing for cats. I have a few morals but I do not let them spoil the fun. I live by my own rules and I know right from wrong. I don't have too much of a conscience so I will pretty much do or say anything that comes to mind. I eat crotch as a bonus.

I wish I had made this up.

We are just watching movies and my tape of SNL debates from the other night.
The kids just got done watching F9/11. Yeah, they all watched it and were glued to it and then they watched the Arab comedians that are part of the special features and just laughed their asses off.
That is some funny shit right there.

I have decided that I am going to get more involved in politics. Not too much here on my blog because well, truthfully, I just don't feel like opening myself up to anymore hate than I have already encountered.
I just want a better future for everyone and that means being more knowledgeable and involved.

Other than watching stuff, we are just hanging out trying to have fun and pass the time.

What are you doing this weekend?

Man has it been a long day.
It's just dragging on and on.
Gah.
So I guess Mikey is coming to spend the night.
Now we can all be bored together.
Maybe we'll watch Dawn of the Dead again.

Last night before I went to babysit, I made a bracelet that I was meaning to do for awhile.
I'm not a member of the Red Hat Society but I know a few ladies who are and one of them expressed interest in a bracelet or something so I finally made it.
It is a very heavy bracelet made using .15 gauge wire double stranded due to the weight.
The beads are all glass of varying shades and sizes.
This bracelet is one of a kind. I couldn't match these beads again if I tried.
I like this one a lot because it has a good weight to it and looks good.

This is a very obscene word laden post. I don't even know how many times I said the f word but it is in the extended entry for those of you who find it foul.
Mabe this time it is a little foul...lol

I've bitched about the dog right behind me a million times. It's a little yapping mother fucker.
Heck, I even called the cops on it and they have been warned. One more time that I call about that yapping fucking piece of shit, they have to go to court for excessive noise violations.
2:30 in the fucking morning.
2 fucking 30 that piece of shit was outside yapping.
I had visions of getting dressed and going over there flashlight in hand and grabbing the fence and shaking it and screaming at the top of my lungs," People who own this mother fucking piece of shit yapping fur ball! I have warned you! The cops have warned you! Shut this fucking thing up before I hop this fucking fence and rip it's fucking larynx out! Train it. Keep it in the house. Get it one of those electric collars that zaps it when it barks or I swear to god, I will make the final phone call and you will have to go to court for this fucking piece of shit and you will be fined and yes! Yes I will show up as the complainer because guess what?! I don't work! I have all the fucking time in the world to go to court over this fucking gray noisemaker that you put outside at 2 fucking 30 in the morning!"

Heh, I may still go over and yell at them if that fucking thing yaps one more time. I swear, I never used to hate dogs until I encountered little yappers like these ones. I just have visions of dogicide every time it starts barking.

I was just like starving Marvin ya know so I ate a plate of my spaghetti. It was after midnight so it is tomorrow already so I'll just not eat too much today. ;)
Make sense? Sure it does.
I've lost some weight. Don't ask me how much cuz I haven't looked at numbers. I just know that I have and my sis has noticed too so it was ok that I ate something semi-fatty and bad tonight.
Whatever.

In other news, my brother that I haven't spoken to in well over 2 years, had a tumor on his bladder that was cancerous. He had it removed and they got it all from what he told my parents.
He didn't tell any family members until after the whole procedure was over.
Didn't want to worry anyone.
Fine. I understand that thinking but at the same time I want to smack him upside his head because of our parents.
Like if something had gone wrong and his wife had to call them and tell them some bad news, they wouldn't have the slightest clue what she was talking about and probably be very mad.
I'm glad it turned out alright. He's got a wife with MS and 2 kids to take care of and I'll give him credit for doing his husband/fatherly duties very well.
As a brother, he just sucks.
What's that? My parents read this? Yeah they do, they know he and I don't speak.
You all wanna know why, like what's it all about?
I'll tell you.
See, once upon a time, and I've told these stories before, I did drugs like the world was ending. I partied, I drank, I fucked shit up.
That was years ago.
I haven't done an illegal drug intentionally* in over 14 years.
I haven't drank now in over 2 years.
My brother will not forgive me for my mistakes in my past.
He always accuses me of still doing drugs and fucking shit up.
In his twisted mind, my back is not as bad as it is, I'm just lying to everyone, so I can have drugs.
There's a few other things that I will spare the details on but he is so not the one to judge me.
Trust me on this.
I was there back when. I may have been fucked up, but my memory is crystal fucking clear.
If we're gonna throw stones around, I have some boulders I could toss his way.
I don't mean to be all mean and vindictive and shit but the past is the past and I am not that same person anymore.
I haven't been the girl who stole money from my folks to buy dope in a long fucking time.
I haven't stolen bottles of schnapps from any stores since I was like 17. I haven't smoked dope for a long time.
*I was rufied once at a bar here about 4 years ago. Had to have all my friends take me home and lock me in my house. Thank gawd for friends ya know cuz that shit sucked major ass.
I was also given some x once about 3 years ago and no, I didn't ask for it. It just happened and I didn't like that either.
I was a coke and acid girl when I did party.
I'm not proud of where I have been but I am not that same girl and he needs to let that go and be a brother and forgive cuz I know that I have been pretty fucking decent about shit with him and all his talk of taking my kids away from me because of my "drug abuse" over the last few years which isn't drug abuse but actual medications given to help me. Supervised and all that shit. Maybe if he asked once in awhile, he'd know and not accuse.

Mom, dad, I'm sorry to just throw all this out here like this for all the world to see but my blog is my therapy and being open and honest is one of the things I have to do to stay sane and be able to sleep at night. It's taken me years to not have guilt anymore over my past and talking about it is how I let all of that go.
I'm sorry he was sick and I'm glad he's ok and thank you for letting me know because he's too stubborn to make first contact and I'm done trying to please him.

She is taking the boys to see the Incredibles and I'm babysitting. *stomps foot and pouts*
I love my niece mucho much but man, I want to see it too.
It's cool.
I'm just playing although I do want to see it sometime.
I'd really rather see Saw or The Grudge or something but I can do kid movies too for the laughs.
Oh well. I'm gonna go play with some beads and soothe my hurt...lol.
Later days.

Things are just falling apart on me....lol
Sick, headache, coughing, sneezing. Let's just leave it as Kat is sick all winter and I'll take your feel better soon messages once so you don't have to keep saying them ...lol
Good grief I'm a 90 year old trapped in here. It's all coming undone.
I can laugh about it though so so should you.
I've just accepted that I'm going to catch every fucking thing that comes home with everyone who lives here and then I'm gonna start cracking heads if they don't wash their hands before they touch this keyboard and mouse.
You all know that's why I'm sick doncha?
Sharing is a bitch.
Yeah, a friend sent me a router and I am sooooo greatful for that but we have major incompatibility issues between 98 and ME and I could upgrade to xp, I have what I need to do it, I just don't frigging know if I want to. I don't know if I want to spend the time doing the upgrade and whether I really want to do it at all.
I hear xp is nice but my ME has never failed me. Not once in 5 years.
Only when I have decided to do bad things to it has it said fuck you bitch, have a blue a screen.
So anyway back to what I was saying. I'm still sharing with people who cough on the keys and the mouse, sniffle, sneeze and don't use any tissues and I'm sure no one is washing hands between all those wipes of the nose and stuff. And no, this isn't just directed at ex-roommate or just at the boys before anyone starts going off that Kat is a super bitch again. This is at everyone who lives here. They all need to wash their hands and shit cuz I'm just this giant petri dish waiting to get infected.
Me? I'm OCD like nobodys business and wash my hands at least 30 times a day. It's sad really but I'll let you in on a little secret. I have nice nails from all that hand washing. No shit man. For some reason, my compulsive hand washing makes my nails grow long and strong.
But whatever right.
I have some dishes to do now that I am back up from my nice cozy bed and then I need to make some grub for the peoples and then I need to come visit and see all your knitted socks! and really read through what sounds so much like my life during my marriage, and try to catch up with a new hip momma to me and find out what the hell happened to Kates blog and everyone else that I have missed.
Later days.

Got one kid home with pink eye, one kid who wishes he could stay home with pink eye and an upset belly for me.
I'll be back around later. Right now I just don't feel like sitting here.
Later days.

Posted by Kat at 7:09 AM | Permalink | Comments (9)

and that I should get dressed NOW.
Sure, it was a few days ago but hey, I stay indoors for the most part so I just let it carry for a few days.
ex-roommate and I go out today to pay bills and we are waiting downtown for our second bus and this guy, Jamie, comes up and starts talking to me. Hitting on me. Seems like a nice guy.
We all get on the bus and he goes into his reasons for moving here from Detroit a few weeks ago and then lets it slide that he is roof challenged (politically correct term? I hope so cuz everything I say to describe people, places or things seems to piss people off).
Great. Homeless guy hitting on me.
Then he gets off and this young computer geek starts hitting on me and getting all uber nerdy with me talking pcs and spyware and anti-virus and made fun of my baby little emachine which has never given me a problem but keeps on talking and made sure he told me he owns his own business at least 4 times.
We talk for quite awhile until he needs to get off and when he did, he did the macho strut.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, he did the spread arm, I have muscles strut and he had NO muscles...lmao
ex-roommate and I nearly died laughing.
I mean, he had me at all the pc geek speak honestly. He did not need to do the strut.
Guys, what is up with the strut?
He was funny and charming and sweet and then he did the strut and as cute as it was to see him fluffing his plumage for me, I just couldn't help but laugh.
Anyway, I have his business card (he owns his own business ya know) and wants me to get in touch so he can come set up my "equipment" with his own "equipment" which will "blow my mind".
Yeah. Maybe. He was like waaay under 30. Oh god was he under 30 but hey, it felt good to have someone bring on the strut.
Are these guys who my horoscope was talking about? Who knows but it was a fun day and as a bonus (remind me to tell you about a bonus of another kind sometime), I ended up with a spare $10 due to a mistake at a bill place and so I bought a copy of Fahrenheit 9/11 for $9.99 at Movie Gallery.
Say what ever you want about Micheal Moore and politics, just use a real email address this time mmkay?

And oh yeah, Sebastian does have pink eye and the doc called in a script for him and ex-roommate and Mark are gone down to get it because I've now been down there like 3 times in 2 days and me bones just don't want to go no further.

Posted by Kat at 4:44 PM | Permalink | Comments (9)

I'm so tired.
And I think Sebastian has pink eye again.
What the hell.
I have to go pay some bills today.
Thank gawd I got my meds refilled so that I'm not in too much pain while I do it, but what a pain in the ass that was.
My doc called in my meds to Walgreens.
I usually get them filled at the pharmacy that is right at the docs office. How convenient.
Anyway, they made a mistake when calling in the hydros.
They called in 10s instead of 7.5s so this created a problem for the insurance. They will not pay for the heavy duty shit.

So I get there and I tell the tech my last name and she gets them and says $174.00. I said no, I have insurance but these were called in so you wouldn't know that but I have it. *hand her my card*
Tech: *huge exasperated sigh*
Me:?
Tech: It's going to be $45.00 because the insurance won't cover one of them.
Me: Which one?
Tech: They just won't cover one. How do you want to pay?
Me: Which one? They always cover my meds.
Tech: *walks off to pharmacist* This medicaid patient thinks she gets all her drugs for free. She insists that her insurance pays for it. *glances at me and rolls eyes*
Tech: *walks back to me* They won't cover it. *throws a rejection letter at me*
Me: *reads letter* Oh, this is simple. Just call the doctor. This has happened before. They don't cover 10s, just get Wendy to change it to 7.5s.
Tech: No. Your insurance doesn't cover it.
Me: *grabs letter and storms outside to the pay phone to call doc*
Me: *goes back in and says doc is calling you right now*
Tech: *eye roll. again.*
*meds get filled and she calls my name*
Me: This was a very simple mistake, it's happened be-
Tech: Thank you and have a nice day *throws my pills at me*
Me: Like I was saying, this has happened before. You could have just called the doc back instead of getting all mad at me. It's a very simple mistake.
Tech: Thank you, have a nice day now *gives the brush off wave*
Me: *storms up to the manager* Look, I may be a medicaid patient but that does not give Joanne in the pharmacy the right to treat me so rudely and throw my pills at me.
I was polite. I was courteous. I was trying to explain something to her and she gave me the brush off of death. I have been shopping and getting my prescriptions here for 6 years and that little thing back there needs to be spoken to. I don't appreciate her customer service at all.
She did not handle this in the very simple way it can be handled. One phone call to my doc and this could have been straightened out in 2 seconds but no, Joanne threw a rejection letter at me and made me go call the doc and then got mad because my doc called it in correctly and then got mad because yes, my insurance does cover all my meds.
Manager: *stunned look much like that of a deer in headlights* I'm very sorry ma'am. I will speak to her immediately.
Me: Thank you. All I wanted was to be treated with a little courtesy and respect. An apology would have been nice.
Manager: I'm very sorry ma'am. It will not happen again.
Me: *came home, went to walgreens.com and wrote them an email about my pharmacy experience.

Bitch pissed me off on a bad day. I thought ex-roommate was going to jump across the little counter there when the bitch gave me the brush off wave and the snotty thank you.
What happened to just doing your job huh? It is her job to provide customer service in the pharmacy regardless of how people pay for their meds. Does she treat seniors on medicare that way? I hope not.
So anyway, I have to go downtown to pay the phone bill, down to cattleman to pay the electric and then back to Walgreens so ex-roommate can get her meds.
Should be fun.

And I'm not even saying everybody.
Where in my post this morning did I say I want to move to another country?
I didn't.
I said I was sad and disappointed and gave my reasons for feeling that way.
I am entitled to my opinion and so are you but at least when you stop by my site and leave one, you have the balls to stand up for what you write and sign your fucking name and use a real email address.
You fucking cowards.
I have a right to vote how I want and feel how I want and in time, I will accept what has happened but here, on my site, you need to put up or shut up.
If you can't sign your name and use a real email address to correspond like rational human beings and work through our differences, then just fuck off.
This country is so divided and you cowards go around dividing it even more.
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Isn't now the time to be healing the rifts between the two parties? Isn't that what everyone is saying? That we need to bring peace and unity back to the American people?
How are you helping in this if you are going around spewing your hatred?
Let me feel how I want to feel. Let me think what I want to think.
Let me heal.
Let me put aside my feelings of bitterness for the betterment of this country.
Be a better person and we will all be better Americans in the end.

Thank you for fucking us up the ass for 4 more years.

I'm so disappointed and devastated.
I voted out of hope and you voted out of fear.
I now fear for the future.
I fear for my kids future.
I fear for my own.
I fear for womens reproductive rights.
I fear for all those affected by horrible illnesses and will never even see a chance for a cure.
I fear for the gays because you know, love isn't really love unless it's a man and a woman and all you gay people are sinning under his god.
I fear for my cousin who has been at war for over a year and will probably have to stay there now because we need to keep troops fighting and dying for lies.

This is just how I feel this morning and I don't need anyone telling me to buck up or suck it up and hail to the chief.
I don't want to hear why you voted for him and I don't want to be told to calm down.
I just feel how I feel and that is that.

How can they be calling this race with numbers like these still out there?

But under the circumstances, the complete euphoria going over the land, the anticipation, the biting of nails, I decided that my hair was like so non-important.
Ya think Kat?
Why yes, I guess so.
My hair is important to me but to you, it's just some chick taking a pic of her hair on one of the biggest days in years and it's so silly.
And I do agree.
So I'll take it tomorrow. ;)

What gets me is all the people who are like quit talking about it. Like it's not important.
If the vote isn't important to you, then it's just not and you can go find something else to do.
I am on edge and I know it's going to be a very long night and then that whole mess in PA? No counting of votes until 9:30 am? 21 electorals not allowed to be counted until tomorrow?
Good lord.
Nothing like making the nation sweat.
So we watch and we wait and we listen to predictions and Tim Russert say Florida over and over again until you want to reach through the tv and rip his head off and piss down his neck.

*UPDATE* Due to so much pressure form Tam and Jenni, tee hee, I posted 1 pic in the extended entry.
It's not the greatest cuz my cam sucks and is picking up humidity in the bathroom and no flash. Yeah, I know, I complain about it all the time. I should be greatful that I even have a camera and I am.

Winter is just good to my hair. Instead of frizz, it gets really curly and soft and just full of life.
Tomorrow I will take my sideshow Bob pic. I have the hair to pull that style off...lol
I'll be able to take better ones when there is sunlight in the house.
And yes, I am stoned. Problem with that?
Gawd, I looked at that pic and my eyes are so squinty. I can see just fine but man, I never realized how fucked up my pills make me look.

My life is soo dull lately.
I just don't have anything to talk about so I talk about the basics.
Like I need a shower and then do some laundry and the dishes.
I need to vac too. *looks around carpet*
That's really all.
Oh wait, I know now.
You know what I love about fall and winter and spring?
The low humidity.
Why it's not just because you sweat less oh no but because in low humidity, my hair is amazing.
My hair yesterday was fantabulous.
I love my hair.
I'm a hair snob.
I won't let anyone touch it or cut it or anything.
I adore my giant 80's hair. Yes I do.
Lani was talking the other day about her daughters big hair for her Halloween costume and how much the daughter hated it.
Oh she'd hate to be me then....lol
I have huge hair every single day.
Big, bouncy, flowing, wavy curls all over the place.
I'll take a pic later.
It's so long now too.
Hasn't been cut in ages.

We got there pretty early, before the doors opened at 7am and there was already a line.

The poll workers were quick, knowledgeable and friendly.
There were no challenge inspectors from what I could see and no supporters for either side hanging out either.
We waited in line and placed our votes.
This was ex-roommates' first time ever voting in a presidential election.

Now, we watch and wait and try not to bite off all of our nails all day.
Get out and vote.

I Voted... Did You?

I ate and took a nap cuz I was cranky as hell man.
Nothing pisses me off more than wasted time.
But I did get some nice cheer uppers today.
From Terry I got some books including the Davinci code and when I'm done with it, I'll post that I'm done and send it one to someone else who wants to read it.
A little book swap kind of thing. Or I'll just send it back...lol
From Karen I got the best of Motley Crue. Yay! I love me some old Crue.

Heh, that was funny. As I'm typing this up, a car zoomed by with music blaring and then this huge gush of pot smell flooded my house. There's no mistaking pot. My cats even sat up and started sniffing the air.
Dumb asses. Keep your windows rolled up when doing that shit. Gonna ride by a cop one of these days and he's gonna bust them...lol

So tired.
That was fun. Lots of candy. Candy candy candy. Weee!!
So yeah, I hurt but I am going to the docs so at least when he pokes my spine and says does it hurt here, I'll be able to go oh fuck yeah with enthusiasm.
It's a gorgeous beautiful day here in Sunny Fla.
So pretty and cool. It's perfect out there.
I'm just sorta of rambling here because I'm pooped and sore and don't have much to talk about right now.
Hope you all have a great Monday and don't forget to vote tomorrow.
