Okay, so usually I try to get a Thursday thought blog in - but yesterday it was one of "those" days again, so this thought blog is being done on Friday. I have alot of thoughts today, so bear with me.
1) Above is a picture of my house, more has been done to it since I snapped this beauty, but you get the jist. Today, I am just so tired of the house .... NOTHING seems to want to go right with it over the last few days, so I am convinced it don't like us. ~ There are 10 million bugs everywhere - asian beatles (lady bugs), Box Elder Bugs, and flies .... It is driving me mad and since they are just starting to cut the corn down here it will get worse before better. This may be the only time you hear me say this, but for this reason, I look forward to that really good freeze ! Besides that, the plumbing will just not cooperate with us .... we get one thing done and another old part the other people n rigged - breaks. We turned off the water last night to stop a leak and still cannot get it right ..... I don't think I can do another day without the water on, it is driving me nuts ! This house has been a pain in my butt - but then again since wev'e moved up here, nothing has been right.
2) Ok .... obviously I underestimated my habit of TV watching .... and still it is not like I watch it sometimes, just that it is on and I can hear it. I don't like silence around here and I am not liking having to go without the dish being on. Like today, I felt like doody a bit and even though I was able to get a few things done, I really wasn't into doing it, I just wanted to crash on the sofa and watch some old shows ....grrrr - why is it that when I want something, that is the time it isn't there. ??? Sometimes I wish the companies would let you choose the channels that you want instead of making you pay for all that you don't want - just to get a few you do. There is alot of trash on TV anymore, but I still find myself missing the old stuff. Habits are hard to break and I really am not happy about missing the race on Sunday either.
3) Yesterday was a nice day outside here, but I didn't go out much. Like I said the bugs are atroscious. I am sorry that I didn't however, I just checked the weather from weather channel.com and it is supposed to be rainy and ugly out for the week or so here .... so that was dumb, I really should have gone outside.
4) Today is Cameron's third birthday but I still have not wrapped his presents or have much planned. It is now just after midnight, I obviously can't sleep but still am not in the mood to take care of it. Adam will pick up his "Thomas the Train" cake tommorrow after work, so hopefully by then, I will have had the time or inkling to do it all. What is my problem .... I was looking so forward to it ... seeing his face light up when he sees what we picked out for him and the cake too. I know he is only 3, but still, I feel like a heel for not being more prepared !!!
5)Speaking of Thomas the Train, my doctor (here in town -the nice one); Dr. Schanhofer, called to tell me that there was a big recall on alot of Thomas the Trains. Through our many conversations, he knows that Cameron just loves them, so I thought that it was so nice for him to call. Again - one of very few normal folks I have had the pleasure of meeting since being up here.
6) I am still finding that this whole house thing is buggin the hec out of me ...... I am feeling right now that it will just NEVER be done. I can't clean, because the second I do, it just gets as messy or messier than it was before. I can't afford to get it all done at once like it needs to be, nor can we seem to find the time. If it isn't one thing it is another, one thing goes wrong, then another ..... why can't it just work the way it should the first time so we can get done ..... poor Adam has been working tirelessly on them pipes only for them to keep leaking ... it is very aggrevating. He went to bed tonight and didn't even eat dinner - the cold water works now, but hot is still off. I wanted a shower, but I know he tried hard to fix it, so I am not going to complain about it. I feel bad that it isn't working out for him, I know he's not a plummer - but he is trying so hard. Sorry, I re-mentioned that and all, guess it is really just bugging me.
7) I noticed today that the nosey neighbors must be ticked off about my curtain hanging ... they used to go by and wave or talk to the kids and since I hung up the new drapes they haven't done either. Ok - I am so not bothered by this - rather I find it pretty hilarious that they can't see everything anymore. HA HA ..... I just love when that happens ! Good thing,too I have also noticed that thier son and dog have no longer been lurking in my yard ..... hmmmm, maybe they got the point that I didn't want them around. Atleast hopefully anyway.
8)I watched this movie called "50 First Dates" with the kids earlier. It was an ok movie .... but I found it pretty perplexing that this girls family does the same thing day, after day, after day ..... man, that would be pretty dern tiring.... not to mention annoying. I understand Hannah - my own daughter with her short term memory problems, but can't imagine that if someone was that bad, how it would be for them. We also watched "We Are Marshall" last night ... I really can't say that I liked it - I am NOT at all into football, but the fact that there was one movie these days without one curse word in it really impressed me and I liked that part ALOT !!!! The movie was okay though, I mean story line was good, just football is not my thing. (especially since all anyone talks about here are the stupid Packers !) :Op
9) Ok, I am pretty tired of this whole pregnancy thing .... but yet at the same time find that I am NOT at all prepared for it to be near over. There will be alot more to do then and holding a new one will mean I will get less done. Something that so drives me nuts - I hate procrastination, so the fact that winter will soon be here and that I may have to sit is going to get on my nerves. I really, really think I am getting to old for this. I sincerlely do think that this baby will be the last one - however the Duggar family does it, I will never know. God Bless them though for it !
10) I did call about a dumpster yesterday, like I had mentioned, but was pretty dismayed that the price was 130 dollars -plus 30 dollars extra per ton --- all to be paid at drop off. So now I have to look over the finances for next payday to see if we can even afford it. Man, I was so looking forward to getting that crap out of my garage - I hope that we can work it out or it will for sure drive me nuttier than I already am. Money is pretty tight here atm ... grrrr. :O(
11) I have been getting up at night lately craving oranges ... isn't that weird ?? I had three fruit cups last night because I didn't have an orange, so I am prepared tonight, I had the hubby get me a few at the commissary today.
12) Well, it is almost 1 am, I still am not too tired, but I think I am done here for the night. Hopefully tommorrow the water will work all the way and I can get things done and I hope that my little man Cam has a good day as well, I wish that I could make it better, but I think that doing some fun things with him will make him happy. Then in the evening we will celebrate together as a family. Saturday I will hopefully have some pics (this time) to share. I know I keep saying that - so maybe if I don't this time it will work out ..... shhhesh ! I also am hoping that we are able to get a big chunk of things done - the hubby has Monday off for Columbus Day or something, but the kids don't. Yea, they get "Cranberry Day" off .... but not very many other days ..... lord, what is with this place ?? :O) "Cranberry Day" ......weird, I STILL don't get what that is about !!!!! I wish they had Columbus Day off though, I like when they are home. Hopefully thier inservices will be soon !!!!
Anyway ... I will be in and out throughout most of the weekend, so I hope that you all have a good one ! :O) Take Care.
TaMmIe :O)
