The washer quit.
The fridge quit. But now its working after losing a months worth of meat.
We are dealing with environmental inspectors with my dad’s trailer park.
And the sewage inspectors. On two different issues.
Son4 may have broke his finger. Gonna Check it tomorrow
I’m cooking for Oldest’s gf again tomorrow, 2 meals means its serious.
Son2 turns 19 Monday. Scary.
I went for a recheck for my hip issues, and the doc ordered all sorts of blood work to be done ASAP.
The lab is so backed up, my appointment was the beginning of October, my lab appt is in December.
So much for ASAP.
Hope I don’t keel over before ASAP comes around.
Needless to say, my mind isn’t on blogging.

I’m not complaining, just throwing it out there in case ya’ll want to help us pray for some relief. It would be much appreciated.

3′s

I will definitely be glad when 2010 is over.

My MIL had a heart attack tonight, by the time we got to the hospital, they had already placed a stent, and pacemaker. She’s in ICU but stable.

We are having a ton of other issues going on, so please pray for us.

Beginning

I had my first “official” training session last night. It went really great. I think I’m going to enjoy my new job. The kids have a lot of adjustments though. I found out last night, that ONE bit of background noise, like the dog barking, kids being loud, TV, anything of that sort, and I can be fired. Just one. Do you know how bad that is for my kids? lol.

I am happy to report, I made it through the shift without having to share my screen, so the 40 people in the training session didn’t get to see stud’s latest lovely. He changes his background babes every couple of days, so there is a new one up now. I was getting kind of sick of seeing ol’ lucy every day anyhow.

Stud actually told that story from the pulpit Sunday. Which is kind of strange, how many pastor’s do you know that will admit to having half naked chicks on his computer screen? The congregation got a kick out of it though, they were all laughing, and I didn’t see a single disapproving look in the bunch!  Our congregation realizes that we are all human, all have temptations,and all have our shortcomings.  Stud happens to love a pretty, curvy woman in a tiny bikini!  I have the curvy part, just a few too many and too big of curves.  You know the kind, those curves that when you drive around them, the front of the car meets the back…. well, that’s about what my curves look like. lol.  And mine don’t fit in a tiny bikini.

Don’t worry folks, I’m just sharing a bit of self deprecating humor here.  Stud loves me, loves my curves,  just wishes he had access to them a bit more.  But then, doesn’t every man wish  he had more access to his wife’s curves more?  Thankfully, I’m secure in the fact that my hubby is in fact my hubby.  If he wants to look at Lucy Liu, various beach babes, Jessica Alba, then so be it.  It’s not like he has pics of the neighbor, or my doctor on his computer!

How did I wind up down that rabbit trail?

Young again

Ever have one of those times where you KNEW you should have brought your camera with you?  That was last night for me.

Oldest decided to take his girl to see Indiana Jones, the first showing at 12:01am.  It was showing at his favorite theater, which is a theater/bar/restaurant.  Really cool experience.  He got Stud to get the tickets online so they would be assured of seating, then went on to get the girl, tickets and proceed with his night.

He calls about an hour after he leaves and in a panic asks us to get another ticket, her friend is joining them.  No biggie.  Stud logs back on, goes through the motions, only to be given a big fat NO.  The showing was sold out.

What’s a boy to do?

Why he buys three more tickets at another theater, that’s what he does.  (must be nice to have all that cash flow)  But then, he’s faced with losing the original two spots.

Ahhh, he brainstorms, I’ll give them to mom and dad.

So, off goes Stud and myself to the midnight showing of Indiana Jones.  I’ve never in my life went to a big blockbuster movie, first showing before.  I was excited, even if the starting times was after my normal bedtime.

We get to the theater early to get our tickets, and stake out good seats.  We notice the parking lot is pretty full of people camping out, they have a fire dancing team going at it, the local news is there covering it, and all that.  I’m all atwitter with excitement.  Stud asks the chickie at the window when we can go in, her reply?  “Oh, it’s outside actually” and she points to the crowd of campers.  I look up and sure nuff, there on the side of the building was a huge screen.  Speakers were set up, and there halfway down the parking lot was a trailer with projection equipment in it.

Did I mention it was like 50 degrees?

Did I mention you had to furnish your own seats?

And blankets?

And refreshements?

Stud and I had 1hour before start time to rush to the other side of local city to the 24 hr walmart to purchase two chairs, two blankets, and refreshments.

Wally world is cutting back hours.  They had two cashiers, 4 self check’s open.

I chose the self check.

The line I was in kept malfunctioning, so they moved me to another line.  After standing it it for 5 minutes, I was informed they were closing that line and needed to move to yet another line.  Then when it finally gets to be my turn, the machine kept stalling.

Have I mentioned how fidgety I was by now?

We finally make it out, get to the theater with 5 minutes to spare.

I have to say that the whole overall experience was rather fun.  Watching the movie at midnight outside was pretty cool.  (if we could have got the giggle girl behind us to shut up)  The movie was really good, and renewed the fact that Harrison Ford is hot, even if he is old.  Stud and I got a totally spontaneous date night.  Like we were teenagers again!
