Frakking Unbelievable!!!

Being Poor Really Stinks

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 01:39:00 +0000

I hate being broke all the time! It's really frustrating. I am really stressed over it, and have about had enough. There are so many things I would like to do, like pay off bills, actually have something in my savings account(did you know people actually do that? lol), buy some new modern office furniture, remodel the bathroom, get some new clothes, and the list goes on and on and on..... Hopefully things will start to turn around in a few months with tax return time coming up. I always look forward to that. So until then...I'm just going to go sit somewhere and try to think happy thoughts..lol!

This is Getting Ridiculous

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 01:28:00 +0000

I can't believe the amount of toys that my children have. It's nuts. They have a ton of them, and probably a good half they don't play with! The half that they do play with ends up in the living room at some point during the day...ugh! I seriously need to go through them, and sort them out. Give some to goodwill, throw away the broken ones, and just cut back a lot. I'm really tired of stepping on Mr. Potato Head parts, matchbox cars, and a million other things...My feet can't take it anymore!!!!!!!! LOL!

Stressed!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 01:25:00 +0000

I am so stressed right now, my head is throbbing. Do you ever feel like going outside and just screaming at the sky? Yeah, that's how I feel right now...lol! I'm not going outside to scream though, it's like 5 degrees out..lol! Sooo, I'm gonna do it here....
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Ok I feel a little better! lol! Might have to do that again in another hour or so...LOL!

Oh Yeah!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 23:41:00 +0000

I weighed my self yesterday and I've lost 10lbs since the last time I weighed myself......yay! I was kind of surprised, but obviously in a good way..lol! I guess the calorie counting and treadmill is paying off...so that's good. I am definitely going to start weighing myself more regularly now...lol! I do like seeing those numbers! Hopefully they keep going down. If not I'll have to look into adipex diet pills or something. I'm hoping to be down 30 more pounds by May...so wish me luck!!!

The Weekend

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 04:44:00 +0000

This weekend we went to a sledding party hosted by one of my friends...it was a lot of fun. We saw a lot of people that we haven't seen in a long time. Had a good time watching the kids, sitting by the fire and just chatting. The kids had a lot of fun, but were pretty cold after a couple hours. Because it is really really cold! I hate winter. ugh!

Today has been a lazy day, just sitting around the house watching tv. The kids are going to bed soon and we will have some peace and quiet at last...they have been bouncing off the walls since 9 this morning. Tomorrow is school day, thank goodness..lol!

Tomorrow I also have to go to the drug store, get some free insurance quotes, buy some groceries, clean, do the mountain of laundry in the bathroom....ahhh fun! lol!

Wow...This Makes Me Feel Old!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 03:57:00 +0000

You know I find unbelievable.........my niece is going to graduate High School this year! It seems like just yesterday she was a wee little tyke following me around and bugging the heck outta me..lol! Now she's all grown up, graduating, and heading off to college. She wants to be a nurse and is still deciding between two colleges. She's also busy applying for scholarships and looking into
college student loans. I'm sure she'll probably end up having to take out some kind of loan. She's also looking forward to getting out on her own...lol! She'll learn sooner or later the real world just isn't as fun as she thinks it is. Ahhh..it's all a learning experience though. I wish her all the best!

Happy New Year!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 03:55:00 +0000

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! It is now 2010, and I think this year is going to be a good year. I'm gonna lose weight, pay off bills, have a ton of fun, and maybe even get some work done....wha??? Yeah probably not and that last part...LOL! Well I hope everyone has a healthy, happy, and fun New Year!

Take My Card!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:04:00 +0000

Well I just tried to do a little bit of my shopping and I can't get the darn place to take my card. They say they accept credit cards, the one I'm trying to use, but it's not working. Maybe it's a sign that I shouldn't use it..lol! Yeah, yeah, I like this idea...maybe I should just save my money this year and not get anybody anything. Homemade cards are good right? lol! I'm sure my two little kids will totally understand....yeah right! LOL! There would be one huge crying mess on Christmas morning if I did that. Ugh...ok I'm off to look somewhere else....wish me luck..

What a Mess...

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:50:00 +0000

My house is a disaster right now! The dishes are piling up and almost overtaking the counter. There are toys everywhere. The laundry is starting to resemble a small mountain. So, obviously nothing has been done in the few days that I have been laying on the couch nursing my bad back. So now I'm going to have to clean for a good day to get this place half way clean. Ugh! I hate cleaning. I especially hate doing the dishes, and here's why.... Our sink isn't all the way broken, but pretty close. The water kind of just trickles out of the faucet. Here's the thing though..the sprayer on the sink...works just fine. So if you want to clean the dishes off before you put them in the dishwasher you have to use the sprayer for everything. I hate my sink! I would really like to get one of those copper kitchen sinks, but right now I would settle for at least a working sink..lol! Ok...I probably should go do something productive....wish me luck!

I Hate Snow...

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:41:00 +0000

The snow is gone now, but Thanksgiving night it snowed all night and then part of the day Friday. I am not ready for snow...at all. I hate the cold, I hate walking through it, I hate wearing boots, I hate driving in it most of all! I'm always afraid I'm going to end up in an accident or end up stuck in a snow bank somewhere. I guess that's what I get for living in Michigan...lol! I'm seriously starting to reconsider that..lol! Florida is sounding better and better all the time. Well, except for the hurricanes. I'd rather deal with snow than those. My house at least won't blow away with the snow...it might get buried, but at least its still gonna be there..lol!

No Crowds for Me....

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:28:00 +0000

So, since I was in pain all weekend...I obviously missed out on Black Friday shopping. I'm not sure I would of went anyway...I'm not much for being in the middle of huge crowds of people...lol! I plan on doing most of my Christmas shopping online this year. At most I have to deal with is busy
call centers if I have a question or something...which is unlikely. So it's really ideal for me. I can order and have it delivered to my door...it's great! So did you battle the huge crowds of people to get a great deal or did you stay home and do your shopping online?

No More Pie..Thank You

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:20:00 +0000

I ate way too much this weekend. Like WAY too much..lol! Dinner was excellent...so I ate plenty of that. Then came dessert....apple pie, pumpkin pie, and 2 kinds of cheesecake...peanut butter cup..and white chocolate raspberry...mmm....both delicious. I ate plenty of those...and then sent the hubby to the store for more pie..lol! He came home with 2 dutch apple pies..they were sold out of pumpkin :( So we've been eating pie like mad the last few days...lol! I think I've probably gained at least 5 pounds over the weekend...lol! Time to start taking my Alli again or maybe some
apidexin or something..lol! I definitely feel horrible today, all the pie is catching up to me...lol! It's revenge of the pie! LOL!

Thanksgiving Weekend...

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:13:00 +0000

I hope your weekend went better than mine..lol! Thanksgiving day was pretty good...dinner was very good...and that's where all the fun stopped. I got up from the table to take care of my plate. I was walking to the garbage when an excruciating pain shot down my back...it was horrible. It almost made my needs buckle. I grabbed onto the table and stood there for a few minutes until my husband could help me into a chair. I spent the next three days sitting on the couch wincing in pain....ah what fun..huh? I did have some pain medicine, but it only took the edge off for the most part. Today it is finally feeling better..thank goodness...of course I have a ton of stuff to catch up on, since I spent three days on the couch..ugh! So how was your holiday?

I Need a Vacation......

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 22:40:00 +0000

Badly! I wish I could just pack some stuff up and go. Maybe find a hotel on the beach or a Outer Banks rental, or even a friend to stay with...I would be no problem at all...lol.I swear! Relax on a beach sipping a drink. No kids, no screaming, no yelling, no tattling....Peace and quiet..ahhhh...it sounds so nice.

Unfortunately I know our next vacation is not until next May(insert sad smiley here) for my niece's graduation. It's going to be a long 6 and a half months. Come on May!!!!!! Are you going on vacation? Tell me about it...I'll just have to live vicariously through all of you..lol!

Sunglasses Please!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:07:00 +0000

Have you ever seen the episode of Friends where Ross gets his teeth whitened and they are blindingly white?....it's a hilarious episode. Well anyway, I thought about that today because my friend called and said she's going to get her teeth whitened this week. She's super excited about it...she lost a bunch of weight..and this was her "reward" to herself for doing it. So when she walks into that Plano cosmetic dentist this week...it will be like the cherry on top of a great big sundae. I'm so happy for her. :)

What is That called Again?

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 02:49:00 +0000

Isn't funny how when you can't think of something, it drives you nuts..lol! My brother just called wanting to know what the car that hangs underneath a Tram is called....it took some help from Google and friend across the country to figure it out..LOL...its called a Gondola sometimes..for those that were wondering.

That happens to me all the time...usually because my brother is calling with some off the wall question..lol. Everything from when a star was born...to what rocker switches are.

Usually its because he's doing a crossword puzzle or something...He says if he's ever on Who wants to be a Millionaire I'm going to be his "phone a friend".....LOL!! All I say is..ok..but I'm getting my cut! LOL!

The Pain!!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 02:14:00 +0000

Last night was a very bad night. I was up half the night with my jaw hurting. So I laid on the couch with a ice pack on my face. It was fun.....not! lol! I'm pretty sure I have TMJ or something. My jaw makes that really awful clicking sound when I open and shut my mouth. What's really bothering me though is that the tendon or muscle or whatever in there is super tight, and because of that I can't even open my mouth all the way...yeah its great...ugh!!! The dentist said if I have my wisdom teeth removed it might help..he thinks they are causing swelling that is not helping the situation. So, that's gonna be fun and costly....I need a change of luck...anytime now! lol!

Up in Smoke....

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:36:00 +0000

I was on my way to pick up my daughter from school today when I heard the fire sirens go off. I was quickly met on the road by people on their way to the fire dept to help with the fire. I of course went on my way to the school, picked up my daughter and headed to the bank atm ....well to my surprise the firetrucks were right in town....one of our local businesses was on fire....I thought for sure it was probably a house fire like normal. I hope they have some business insurance or something to cover the damages because they looked like there would definitely be some. Luckily its been really raining for a week....that might of helped some..I hope anyway.

Speaking of rain.....it can stop raining anytime now!!!!!!!!!! Anytime!!!

Slightly Embarrassing...

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:54:00 +0000

Ok...so yesterday I almost had a very embarrassing moment. I was looking at pumpkins...trying to decide whether or not to by the deformed looking ones I was looking at, or go to a different store...and my coat caught on a cardboard display and almost brought a very big thing of potatoes crashing to the floor. Thankfully I caught it in time and nothing happened. I would of been so embarrassed...lol! I could just picture myself standing there in the middle of a huge pile of potatoes..lol!

It wouldn't be the most embarrassing thing to happen to me, but I certainly don't need to add another thing to my list. So any embarrassing moments you would like to share? I promise I won't tell..lol!

Marge Simpson is Getting Naughty.....

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:47:00 +0000

in Playboy!!!!!!!!! How scandalous! LOL! Personally I love it. I think its hilarious, but that's just me. I'm sure there will be people that think its horrible and such....but I don't really care. I say Go Marge!!!

So tired!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:29:00 +0000

Last night I slept really good. I was dead to the world. Which was nice because usually I can't sleep at all. I toss and turn and wake up constantly, and am just so tired in the morning. If I don't start sleeping better I'm going to have to get some eye cream for dark circles. They are really bad. My can't-live-without makeup item is definitely my cover-up. I never ever go out of the house without putting some on. I wouldn't want to scare anyone...lol! Well, on second thought....It is almost Halloween..lol! Maybe that should be my costume...a tired mom. I wear that costume everyday..lol!

Winter Stinks!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:11:00 +0000

There is no nice way of putting that. It snowed last weekend and I still can't believe it...lol! I think I'm in denial. I seriously need to hire some long distance movers and head to Florida. Say goodbye to the cold, snow, winter coats, shovels, snowplows...and say hello to sun, fun, the beach, shorts, and the warm air. Sounds good to me....lol!

My brother keeps telling me I need to move down to where he lives in Alabama. My in-laws actually live there too. Every year I think its getting harder and harder to resist. A few more years and I will be hiring those movers....lol!

Well I think I'm going to go get a cup of hot cocoa and warm up a little bit....

Balloon Boy Hoax

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:01:00 +0000

Have you heard about this? Omg...what a bunch of crazies. Here is the link for those of you who haven't heard about it. It was all over the news..."Six year old boy floats away in homemade balloon!" Turns out the six year old boy was hiding in a box in his attic the whole time. He was never in the balloon at all. It was a crazy stunt put together by his crazy parents...who apparently are storm chasers trying to get there own reality show....yeah I don't think that's gonna happen now...lol! Which is funny because they are gonna need the money. They are going to need a good attorney...and they will probably have to pay back the money it cost for all the search crews and such for the whole ordeal...CRAZY!!!

Thoughts on Winter

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:39:00 +0000

I have to admit...they are not good thoughts..LOL! Winter is cold, windy, a pain to drive in, uncomfortable(winter coats and such), and messy. You have to start your car at least 15 minutes before you want to leave. Not to mention brush all the snow off the car...good exercise, but a pain.

Those are a few of the reasons that I wish we had a garage. A garage would be wonderful. I wouldn't have to clean the car off in the morning....I could go out to the car without wading through snow. There would be a lot less mess getting tracked into the house. It wouldn't have to be a huge garage , just a garage...maybe some nice garage flooring, but nothing fancy. It's definitely on my wish list now that I sit down and think about it..lol!

I'll just tell dh that I want him to have his own space for tools and such...he'll like that! Ahhh...my plan is coming together wonderfully...LOL!

Still Feeling a Little Queasy

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:24:00 +0000

From that last video, that is...LOL! I still can't believe that. I am thinking that it must of been a boil and not just a regular pimple. I've seen some bad pimples in my day, but that was just huge! I watched that video and was grossed out and amazed all in one..LOL! That guy definitely could of used some kind of acne treatment or something. So, please people...if you are growing a pimple the size of a grapefruit on your back...GET HELP!!! I also love how he apparently had to drink 3 beers, better known as liquid courage, before he would let her touch it..LOL! Sooooo.....did you watch it? Did you make it all the way through? LOL!
