FRIDAY MOUTH FULL .....

YEA..... ha, ha, ha ... don't I wish ! :O)

~~~~~ Well, it is another Friday - and I am feeling alot better this week than last week ... that is for sure ! I finally figured ... with some research and a friends help that there IS ACTUALLY a small percentage of pregnant women who experience PMS symptoms during the course of thier pregnancy's ! I just don't know why it never dawned on me that it WAS just like my PMS symptoms, but maybe that is because I am pregnant and that is why I didn't even think of it. ~ (Have you ever seen that episode of Roseanne where she is all PMS-ing and freaked out ... Dan is on "alert" etc. ... oh, lol ... that so reminds me of me !) ~ I never had PMS until a few years ago, my periods only have ever lasted ONE day and I have never had cramps, so I don't even know what they feel like, however, with the PMS I get - and with knowing my family history (on the female side) a little better these days, I am not too sure that it is all good. I will say though, that I am the only woman in my family to never have had bad periods or take any form of birth control, so that in itself might be the good news. You see ...... no female in my family (mothers side) has lived past 40 with out having female cancers, whether it be ovarian, cervical ...whatever, they have either died or had a hysterectomy and all have had major hormonal problems as well. Now my mother however, has somehow managed to live through 5 different types of cancer all over her body - and to be honest with you; I have no idea how she did it. Especially without my fathers help. Soooo, Hmmm, I have to wonder if I, of course am to be next; as I am the last girl and also the youngest. I do think about it, but since never having taken birth control and having more kids than anyone else in my family has, maybe I will be the lucky one here. Hmmmmmm . ? OoOoOoOohhhhh WELL - O K .... enough of that, I rambled and it is kind of depressing. But now you know something I figured out and am releaved about anyway.

~~~~~ AaAaAHHHHH, on another note ... a totally good thing though, I finally decided NOT to have a yard sale, so last night I took all the seats out of the van and loaded it up - back to front - top to bottom - with all kinds of stuff ... and today I will finally take it all to Goodwill !!!! YAY for me !!!! I will be so glad to get all that crud out of my garage before winter gets here ! Now we can have alot more room to finish going through all the trim that was left here by the last people and what we decided to replace some of it with, as well as have the room to cut it ! I decided to go ahead and call in for a dumpster next week, when our basement flooded and we got the storage shed to put what we could save in there, some of it was unsalvageable, moldy, nasty yuk ! - so it has been on the other side of the garage and now it can go AWAY too ! Yippie ! Now ... to just find the time to finish what we need to here before it starts to get colder and have it in the dumpster too ..... ahhh, what a task. I am sure that I will be so happy to have all this junk "construction" done. I have taken pictures and will explain the whole house situation as soon as I have more time, I have tons of pics, so it may be a long blog .... I want to make sure it makes sence too, it is hard to explain. But I promise, I will do it soon, I know some of you have been asking.

(SPEAKING of getting rid of things ..... does ANYONE need or want girls size 10-12 name brand clothes .... ???? I have mostly all Limited Too, but a few Abercrombie, Gap and Old Navy items that are all in very good condition. I buy them brand new, so my daughter (Brittany) was the only one to wear them. I am pretty picky, so I promise there are no stains or wear to them, I just hate to see the ones that don't fit sit in my garage if someone can get use from them. I would take them to Once Upon A Child, but with it being over an hour away - it is so far from me and I just have no time right now. There are no other resale shops around, and I don't want to just give them to Goodwill, so I just thought I would ask. They are in a big huge Rubbermaid storage box and I won't charge out the ass for them - you name a price ... anything is better than nothing and more than I had before, I am not greedy. :O) Please let me know if you think you'd be interested. )

~~~~~ Well, with today being Friday and all, Brittany has her thing at school to sign up for sports, etc and to get her class schedules. She is excited about it. I am still a bit aprehensive, I hate when they go to school, boooo hooo ! :O( .... Anyway ... we HAD planned to go to Rochester this weekend for shopping at the mall, but I had forgotten that I had to pay the insurance bill that was due, so it will have to be put on hold for about a week or so - no, the kids weren't too excited about that, but hey, bills have to be paid and I refuse to use credit cards ... so learn patience is what I told them ! You don't get everything the second you want it in MY world ! Oh well though, would have been nice to go for the weekend though, but gives me some more time to get things done here ... time is soon coming and winter will be upon us, the baby will be here and I will never get anything done ... so better to do it all now is my thought !

~~~~~ Sppppeeeeaking of Insurance ... duh, we have court to go to on Monday for the van. Yes, another -oh so- lovely situation here ! (HOW do I keep finding these people !?!?!) Sooo, let me explain ..... at the first of the year is when it all started .... we get our monthly bill from W.F. - our car company - for the payment amount .... the normal monthly payment is around 300 but this bill said that we owed 500 ... which was obviously wrong ! Sooooo, I read further and the statement said that they were charging us for insurance from thier company since we did not have any of our own ... which is ANOTHER thing wrong ! We have had the same insurance the whole time and pay for it ever six months - along with homeowners insurance, etc .... so we had NO idea where they came up with that we had no insurance. So of course we had to call W.F. and see what the deal was ... well ... here we are 8 frackin' months later, they have tried to charge us each additional month 200 dollars extra over the cost of my regular payment for THIER insurance - when we have our own (which hello ... is WAYYYYYYYYY less ! - so duh - why would I pay MORE !!!!!) SO, They still insist I have never had the proper insurance and say that they are going to REPO our van unless we pay for it ! .... and DUH ! We REFUSE !!!!! so fine - take the van, we may not have a car then, but atleast we won't have to buy gas, I dunno, but the lawyers better figure this out or I am GOING TO be pissed !

DO you seeeeeee WHY I refuse to use credit ??!?!?! I pay for everything in cash if I can ... problem is, that I just so happen NOT TO carry 14 thousand dollars around with me at one time !!!!! Gord Lord anymore people will try to get your money any way they can ... and it pisses me off !

~~~~~ Adam woke up in a mood today ... grrr. Had me goin' man. He just wasn't happy about much. I had to drive him to work and sometimes he don't like me taking the van, but too dang bad ... I have things to do. I don't take it if I don't have to, plus saves gas big time and I like that, but sometimes I want the van to get out of the house. He just wasn't happy that it has been 3 days in a row I guess. MAN, We really gotta' get our old Saturn fixed ... it has been sitting about for 6 months because a valve spring broke and we don't have time to fix it or much extra money to pay someone to do it. Now, granted I know more about cars than the hubby, (sorry but true) he thinks that fixing the clips of the valve spring will fix it, but I happen to believe - that if he does that, what will happen is that it will break the piston and shoot it off into the head - thusfore killing my engine FOREVER ! It will so be terminal ... so I have wanted to call someone to do it correctly, sure I know about how to do it, just am not going to - because I never have ... so it has been a source of an arguement lately. A sore spot persay ... good lord - just don't want my lovely "'LIL BLUE" Saturn to really die, it was our very first brand new car .... I worked the only job (at Pizza Hut) that I have ever had for a year and every penny went to pay it off promptly. Of anything ever, I am very attached to that car. :O) I miss it running very much !

~~~~~ Hmmm, what else can I say today ..... ????? Well, I dunno ... the kids are up now and I must start my day anyway ... so I guess I will just end here. I will be busy most of the weekend, so I wish you all a great few days ! I will hopefully return Monday ! :O) Take Care !

Love, Tammie :O)
