Let's start with something ridiculous...
My irrational fears.
The biggest one is that I will be wearing the wrong shoes for a tragic event... example: My car breaks down on a dark county road and a hooked killer comes to the door and I need to RUN! I can assure you I will have on flip flops, and they will the the source of my demise.
The next one? That I will undoubtly have on the most uncorfortable/elastic lacking/wedgie giving panties I own when I am shipwrecked/airplane crashes on a deserted island.
Time:
I consider my time to be valuable, if not to you, it is certainly valuable to me. SO. When we make plans to do something at 7:30, and you find at 5:30 your propane tank is empty, and then go to the store to swap it, and then decide to get groceries while you are there, and only then start cooking dinner for your family at 7:15... Don't wait until 8:30 to finally call me and say you can't go. You knew by 6 o'clock you weren't coming. Grrrrr.....
Other randomness - My babies are at church camp and hubby and I are paralyzed with excitement to have a couple nights to ourselves!
Also, I just bought a Colgate 360 toothbrush and LOVE IT! The tongue cleaner tickles my mouth while I brush my teeth. It's totally awesome.

Are you out of Gravy????
So as you may or not know I have been couponing... I feel like it has been hugely successful being that currently I am spending a hair less then normal, but have WAY more supplies than normal.
So I was telling my in-laws about my success, to which they were all "ohh" and "ahhh", "clever girl"!
Then yesterday, while I was at work, my MIL kindly prepared dinner for the family. When I unsuspectingly arrived home, I was surprise attacked by the MILwith "ARE YOU OUT OF GRAVY? I looked and looked for gravy, in the pantry and in your stash, and I couldn't find GRAVY anywhere!" when FIL piped in "She didn't have a coupon for gravy! If there is no coupon you don't get to eat GRAVY!"
Seriously?
You would think I forgot to buy a supply of oxygen to keep the children alive for the next week.

I'm just gonna say it...
Regardless of how evil someone may be, I still don't feel comfortable in rejoicing over their death.

Christmas snob
Last night we had a PTA meeting, we are considering a fundraiser in which you sell gift cards and the school gets to keep 2%-15% (depending on the store)
We decided to try it, being it comes at NO COST to us... So I suggested that we announce it and explain it to the parents at the Christmas program, December 4th...
One woman thought it was too late to get a good Christmas sale...
TOO LATE, on December 4th...
She then announced that all, yea you heard me, ALL her christmas shopping is done AND wrapped!!!!
I am pretty sure she must be from outer space... I haven't even figured out what I am getting anyone yet!
What a snob...

Mondays...
Well, I had to work this weekend, another open house... That is quickly losing it's charm...
I didn't allocate much blog time this morning, actually I didn't allocate any at all, (I'm at work)
So all I have time to say is "Good morning, may your Monday not suck"
Til Later...

FRIDAY at last, oh how I've missed you...
To all of you out there fretting about my hygiene.... The water is back on...
hello....??
anyone?
Well anyways, it's Friday, and that means I get to spend 5 hours hosting an Open house, that also means "bring a good book".
Is it just me or do you sleep better getting in to a well made bed? I mean, I know I sleep better when the bed has been made and everything is tucked in and smoothed out just right... what I can't figure out is if it's a mind over matter kinda thing...
Oh, my boss recently revealed that he majored in psychology in college... If he was ever trying to figure out a way to shut me up... he found it!
I'm excited that it is Friday and can't compose more than 2 sentences that are related... Hence the randomness...
I took a sign language class last winter and loved it, loved it SO much, that I mentioned to the boss man we should make that our real estate "niche" and cater to the Huge deaf community in our area.
ok, that is most of the crap on my mind today...
Have a Fabulous Weekend!

Unrulely kids and parents
Last night was preteen A's choir concert. They did an excellent job. What surprises me is the blatent disregard the parents display toward the teachers and students.
1. First off, as the chorus director is trying to tell us how great our kids are, all the parents and talking among themselves... It's actually embarrassing to be sitting among them.
2. The family behind us... It would seem that grandma was holding the 3-4 yr old child and she wanted down! I know this because they were directly behind hubby, and the child, in her attempt to get down squirmed, kick and cried. If you can't control the kid take them out of the room, there are other people there too.
3. In between songs, another 3-4 year old girl finally spotted her sister on stage... To which she cried out "Sissy, you having fun?" the audience giggled, the director raised her arms to start the song and... She yelled to her sister again, and again... all in all about 9 times, it stopped the concert, and it wasn't until then the mother actually thought to do anything about her antics.
I've had toddlers, I know sometimes they can get a little... unruley... but really? Parents, step up! If your kids want to act like that at home, fine. when other people are there trying to watch their children as well, get a grip on your kids or take them outside.

Hoarder next door
I think I may have an unhealthy addiction the the two shows on TLC and A&E, Hoarders and Hoarding: Buried Alive. That show is like a car accident... It completely grosses me out, but I can NOT stop watching. The kids run in fear when ever I watch, because they know things are about to be thrown away... So the benefit is their rooms seem to stay a little neater...
From watching this show, and putting a name to this... chaos. I noticed that there is a hoarder that lives down the road from me... We first made fun of the fact that they mowed (once a month) around the scooter in the front yard... then we noticed things appearing on the front porch. Then one day as we drove past, someone was walking out of the house and 1-they couldn't open the front door all the way and 2-We could see a nano second of a glimpse inside.
A am dying to get in that house... I know it's gotta be disturbing, but the organization nut in me is fascinated by it. If you or anyone you know want am amateur organizer/therapist to help them clean up a hoarder home... Look me up!

Series of unfornatuate events...
This morning I was to drop off a handful of information packets to some VERY important people as part of my job... Simple enough, right? Not so much.
I retrieved the GPS out of hubby's truck at 5:30 am this morning so that I could travel all over the county making deliveries with out worry... Even removed all the empty cups, discarded lunch sacks, lost school papers and 5 jackets belong to either me Preteen A or Little P. I plugged in the GPS on our way to school and realized... it wasn't working. We twisted and turned, plugged and unplugged and then realized that a penny had fallen into the cigerette lighter... We tried gun on the end of a pencil, a key, and any other object we could find in the car to remove it, until I remembered seeing a paper clip. Preteen straightened the paperclip and retrieved the foul penny. We re-plugged the GPS and no go. We figure the penny shorted the fuse. So I tell Preteen to grab the owners manual and see which fuse needs replaced to the lighter... The owners manual is missing! MISSING! I mean, who, wants to read an owners manual for entertainment? Now that option is out the window.
After Little P was at school and Preteen A had gotten the bus I decided to go home and map quest all my destinations... No problem right? You'd think, except, I had given Preteen my keychain with the house key minus the car key, since I knew I would be working late and she would arrive home before me. Now I am completely defeated... I don't know what to do... Then I think... I'll trade vehicles with hubby! So I call his cell, then I text him, and I call again, because, well lets face it, I'm desperate! He finally answers "WHAT!" So I quickly as possible explain the situation and he says, fine, come get it. But babe, I say, I need you to bring out a key because the spare that I keep at all times is on the key ring that I gave Preteen this morning.
Can you believe this? All before 8am. Yeah, BEFORE 8 AM. I was then lead to two yes 1, 2 closed roads via the GPS that works in my hubby's truck/dumpster.

Christmas friendly retail???
My small group leader and I were talking on the phone last night and almost got into a fight...
She was telling me that James Dobson has in his website a list of "Christmas Friendly" stores... You can view them here. I said that i thought that was ridiculous... I don't understand why we are constantly surprised that non-Christians don't portray christian like behavior. These stores are not Christian-based stores, why would we expect them to to solely say "Merry Christmas" and not happy holidays etc...Hanukkah, or winter solace... I thought that this web site was very irresponsible, if there were facts there, as far as store policy's ect... ok, but it is all hear say and no filter... One person was upset because one store only played non religious Christmas songs, and one store didn't offer baby Jesus wrapping paper. She said "what does red/green or snowmen have to do with Christmas? My question, what does a $34 t-shirt from the GAP have to do with Christmas?
People are able to rate the stores as Christmas: Friendly. Negligent or Offensive...
One person's rated a store offensive because there web site only contained the phrase "holiday gifts" not "Christmas gifts" Really, you found that offensive? I am thinking Jesus would find it offensive that we, as Christians, save money for an entire year to splurge and spoil our family in an effort to measure our love for them in material things. What exactly does purchasing gifts of any kind have to do with the TRUE meaning of Christmas?
If anyone is going to take these "suggestions" to heart, then they should do their own research. Find out what the corporate policy is... and stick with it YEAR ROUND...

A Pain in the Arse...
Figuratively and Literally.
My husband's brother and wife came to visit... And hubby's mom and dad as well... Why do you care? Well you probably don't really except that my sister in law and mother in law are in a bit of a tiff with each other... They each claim not to be mad at the other but before our meal, MIL began to eat and I asked "Did you pray for everyone?" She replied "I prayed for myself the rest of you can die" Wow, Great example MIL, what a good Christian spirit there... And you wonder why Sister in law wants NOTHING to do it (Chistianity that is)
Sister in law locked her self in a bedroom to hide... don't really blame her there...
We went trick or treating, in the rain, and on a hay ride, in the POURING rain, and now my body aches, I have a sore throat... and for the literal part of my title, I think I have Hemmroids... Sorry was that TMI? I am dying here! Preperation H works alot better on my puffy eyes than it seems to be doing on its intended purpose.
Insert pouting face and tears.
ps - No my MIL does not live with us or even near us, it's just that she flies for free and "visits" WAY TO OFTEN!
Sigh...

News Article - Must Read - Woman's Head actually Explodes
Woman's Head actually Explodes
suspected Mother in Law is the cause
Today MIL called Lucky Wife to tell her that her preteen had forwarded her a creepy picture of a girl holding a knife, with a traditional scary Halloween story that implied "If you don't forward this to 10 people, you will find pictured scary girl at the foot of your bed" MIL's intentions were to "tattle" on the young girl but Lucky Wife - THE MOTHER - had already seen said item. Preteen had showed me the item herself. MIL then proceeded to try and figure out what the child's punishment was (if any) and she was dismayed to hear "it was handled" giving her NO satisfaction to her request. The MIL then told Lucky Wife that she "just feels better talking about it" to which Lucky Wife replied that she was at work and she would have to find someone else to talk to.
Unfortunately this conversation has NOT hindered her plans to visit us in 2 weeks.

How come...
How come...
Just wondering...
...my MIL can assume that I am earnestly attempting to watch my weight, but I can not assume her current hair color wasn't a freak accident?
...the television is hooked up to subwoofers so that they can hear but when I get up at 5 am and step on that one squeaky board, they wake up and invade my quiet time?
...noone offers to unload the dishwasher/fold clothes/cook dinner until I am 75% done doing it myself?
Just wondering...

So many thoughts... no personal time.
I really would like to tell you about a book I read called the Noticer, in fact I started a "book report" post about a month ago still hanging out in the draft section...
I like to also tell you about the cabin we are building out of scrap material, and how awesome it is, with pictures!
I also would like to start sewing some aprons, in an attempt to make some Christmas money... Yes I said it. Christmas!! Christmas, christmas....
About the fact the preteen has a boyfriend, and hubby is having chest pains.
I am even considering not using birth control... But for the LOVE do not tell anyone, because everyone (my mother) would think I was completely crazy, and I'll probably just tell her it was an accident! Well how about that, I am the .01% that got prenant... tee hee hee
I probably am crazy considering that my last post mentioned that we qualify for free/reduced lunch... But hubby goes back to work Oct 6th, and we'll be gettign real paychecks then.
Oh an in reference to the bok I mentioned, my attempt to start trying to change some things about myself... like judging, and following through with my intentions... but more on that later.
So I used to blog every morning... but hubby is not working right now, so I am not alone with my thoughts... my thoughts and I are very very modest... we don't like anyone looking over my shoulder as they are revieled... So here I am at work, and everyone is at lunch, and me being the crazy rebel that I am... well, I decided to blog.
Oh HEY, Did I tell you? My house in Florida FINALLY SOLD!!!! It was a short sale, but no foreclosure me me... WOO HOO Baby!!!

Blogger post 100
Since I have had some complaints from my trusty faithful readers about my lack of posting and the fact that I have lots of one line ideas...
This will be a 100 things on my mind right now.
1 - I hope this doesn't end up sucking
2 - Where is the line between normal teen angst and an actual problem?
3 - Why does this have to rear it's ugly head at the MIL's house?
4 - I am having jealousy issues.
5 - I wish I spent more time reading the bible.
6 - There is a weird sounding bird outside but I am half afraid to go see what it is.
7 - Because I saw a coyote a couple days ago.
8 - Ok, I can't stand it, I'm going to go look.
9 - Gone
10 - yummm coffeeeeeee
11 - You know I was actually starting to feel bad for preteen A. Like maybe I over reacted... Pish, not any more.
12 - Did I do something wrong? Probably, whatever.
13 - Why does no one seem to care that my brother has no faith and my sister jumps from any anti-christian faith every couple years, but when I decided to get baptized... they were offended?
14 - Can you divorce your family at 34 yrs old? Hire a new one?
15 - Wow only number 15? hmmm this may be "20 things on my mind"
16 - I am jealous that my friend is pregnant
17 - Do I want a baby? Hahahah that's the million dollar question.
18 - If I could answer that for my self, I wouldn't be so jealous, I think.
19 - I figure I have 10 months to decide... I think at 35 yrs... no more babies.
20 - Why is some people can crap in a bag and have everyone declare potpourri?
21 - I have a love/hate relationship with facebook. I love it and hate the fact that it is such a time sucker.
22 - ok back to preteen again, she told Grandma that she likes evil. MIL want to take her to counseling.
23 - Hubby agrees, I agree but would rather the counseling be here...I mean 2-3 sessions, it's not gonna do anything.
24 - How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
25 - I can't decide if this is entertaining or stupid????
26 - I KNOW I had a 100 thoughts running through my head last night... what were they?
27 - Sister in law invited Scott and I to go on vacation with them... LOL
28 - Why is that so funny? Oh because hubby is being laid off for 3 months... yeah.
29 - She said it won't be that much, we have a time share... Whatever...
30 - Speaking of too much, why do those curved shower curtain rods cost 40 dollars! It doesn't matter where I go... they all cost 40 bucks.
31 - My garden is doing AWESOME... I have a million tomatoes and cucumbers... the banana peppers are coming out... SO cool.
32 - I wish I could afford to get a facial... my face looks so old for some reason.
33 - How much gray hair is "normal" for someone my age?
34 - Is it weird that I don't want to color my hair? I guess that means I don't have a lot yet.
35 - I need to clean Mike and Speedo's cage (gerbil and hamster) whew do they stink.
36 - Hubby's BFF gave him a drum set... does that mean he doesn't like me? lol j/k
37 - Hubby want to be a one man band... not really but he want to play piano guitar and drums.
38 - I put away roughly 800 files over the past 2 days and my hands are riddled with paper cuts and they hurt.
39 - I refuse to shop at Lowes... only Home Depot for me.
40 - I need to change the sheet on my bed.
41 - I made the baby deadline of 35, that means I could also change that deadline.
42 - Please, life isn't gonna stabilize before then, who am i kidding... No more babies I guess.
43 - Maybe that realization is what is making me tear up at the very moment.
44 - Or more so that I'm losing her
45 - Ummmm coffeeeeeeeeeeee
46 - I wish we were busy enough at work for me to be full time. Oh and maybe a raise? that would be nice! It's hard to ask for a raise when you know financially they can't afford it, whether you deserve it or not.
47 - Recently, my hubby has BO when he comes home from work... I know, I am SO spoiled... he usually never smells.... even when he is sweaty.
48 - He also hasn't been doing much around the house, which is starting to get on my nerves a little.
49 - I don't expect him to take on any chores, but he could just clean up after himself, right?
50 - Woo hoo half way.... anyone still reading? anyone? hello?
51 - I know none of this is life altering... I could stew on the baby idea and preteen and frustration all day.
52 - Frustration? oh in people that are disgruntled with their employment, when I am SO grateful to have any at all.
53 - I'm jealous over other people financial stability. There I said it. I'm not proud.
54 - It not having what you want, it wanting what you got....
55 - I think I need to say some prayers...
56 - And why haven't I prayed for Preteen? Geesh, I can be such a schmuck sometimes.
57 - My spiritual love tank is empty... I need to do something for someone else and get over my pity party.
58 - I miss my kids... 4 weeks they've been gone.
59 - I can feel the sadness rolling in...
60 - I wish I were stronger, physically.
61 - It's a good thing I don't have credit cards... Retail therapy sounds SO appealing... but my pockets are empty... Dollar tree retail therapy just doesn't cut it.
62 - I wore my birthday shoes today... even put on a little blush in hopes that I could trick myself in to feeling better.
63 - It's not working, in fact I and in a constant state of keeping the tears from rolling.
64 - I am unmotivated right now
65 - Actually all I really want to do is go home and clean the house from top to bottom... it's my therapy
66 - I really love the smell of Murphy's Oil soap.
67 - I have writer's block - again...

10 - yummm coffeeeeeee
11 - You know I was actually starting to feel bad for preteen A. Like maybe I over reacted... Pish, not any more.
12 - Did I do something wrong? Probably, whatever.
13 - Why does no one seem to care that my brother has no faith and my sister jumps from any anti-christian faith every couple years, but when I decided to get baptized... they were offended?
14 - Can you divorce your family at 34 yrs old? Hire a new one?
15 - Wow only number 15? hmmm this may be "20 things on my mind"
16 - I am jealous that my friend is pregnant
17 - Do I want a baby? Hahahah that's the million dollar question.

50 - Woo hoo half way.... anyone still reading? anyone? hello?
51 - I know none of this is life altering... I could stew on the baby idea and preteen and frustration all day.
52 - Frustration? oh in people that are disgruntled with their employment, when I am SO grateful to have any at all.

59 - I can feel the sadness rolling in...

O-tastic
If you've been following for a while you would know that I am a bit of a Poison Ivy connoisseur. You'd like to think that I'm immure to the stuff oh yea... Oh sorry, I broke out in song there for a moment. I have had poison ivy on several separate occasions since moving to Tennessee. I have tried about 30 different treatments some over the counter and prescription but nothing, and I mean NOTHING takes the itch away like hot hot water. I had learned that what happens when you apply the hottest water you can take to the poison ivy, your body releases all the histamine in your body in one swooping moment. Itching releases histamine, which feels good and makes you want to itch more. Benadryl is an ANTI-histamine which attempt to prevent the urge to itch... For me, it just knocks me unconscious for a while. So back to the swooping release of histamine. I have found it makes my entire body feel good. For instance, if I an running the hot water on my arm, I can feel the sensation all the way to my toes and even get light headed... and I just when I think I make actually have an "O-tastic" happy ending (wink wink) it burns. No happy ending there, but since all the histamine has been released there is none left in you body and it takes about 4-5 hours for you to create more and get that itching urge again.
I DO NOT reccomend this as an alternative to acheiving climatic results... Because there is not result... you just wind up and stop.
I have shared this sensation with my Hubby and he concurs the sensation. He also said, not to hang on because as soon as it starts to burn, the happy ending is no longer an option.

80's hair anyone?
I have a couple things on my mind...
First, I would like to know how to spend 2 minutes on my hair and have it look as though it was professionally styled, or that I just naturally have FAB-U-LOUS hair.
Second, it there ANY way possible to have naturally curly hair AND bangs and not (let me emphasis NOT) look like and 80's hair band rock star?
:-( I hate my hair right now...
I don't need a haircut, I need a hair STYLE... I even dreamt about my old stlyist who I think lives in California now... and I begged him to help me (my hair at least)

I have a confession...
I peeked.
I wish I could say I was sorry, but I'm not.
Hubby caught me peeking and said "It was a violation of her privacy" but really, when your eleven year old pierces her lip with a thumb tack, doesn't she then forfeit her rights to privacy? I am thinking YES.
So I saw peeking out of one of her binders a piece of paper that read...
What I've learned... Age 11
I knew I had to get back to it and read the rest, so once she left the binder in the living room (I didn't even have to go in her room) and went off swimming... I snagged it and read...
I've learned that parents NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE!
I've learned that parents don't want their kids to be Goth or Emo.
I've learned that boys get into a lot of trouble.
I've learned that lying is a lot harder than I thought.
That last lesson is a tough one for anyone to learn!
So Friday, the kids go to florida with O'ma and it will just me hubby and me for almost 2 months... One of two things will happen either
1 - I will resume blogging with a vengeance. or
2 - My kids are the source of my blogging and i will have NOTHING to write about at all...
I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

Am I OCD or just a snot?
Before I elaborate on my title, let me just say Preteen A got a nice big tetanus shot yesterday and additional lectures from the doctor. Grandma (MIL) thinks it "wasn't her idea" and we are being too hard on her... I should mention the bridge analogy to Grandma. Grandma also doesn't know all the stunts she has pulled in the past month or so. Grandma also doesn't know that she looked up on the internet how to do it. Grandma needs to butt out. I still don't think we are being hard enough. Kinda want to make an example out of this...
So back to my title... in my cupboard I have from left to right:
Glasses - Plastic tumblers - Mugs - Kid cups
Everyday, this set up never changes, they go in their rightful spot, they come out of their rightful spot. My kids understand this concept. So why I ask, when MIL decides to unload the dishwasher, are they all crammed in every which way, in no order, stacked all over each other?
So last night when I went to get a glass from the cupboard, and they were all askew, I didn't even care who was watching, I fixed them. Put them all away in their rightful place.
So my question... Am I OCD, or just irritated with my MIL?
