Yesterday, my client, Sandy woke up determined to go shopping. I told her it wasn't up to me, that she had to ask her husband. Shopping is her favorite thing to do, but he don't want her to shop, because she doesn't need anything. I was surprised when he said yes, but at first he wasn't going to go. I was worried, but if he would be upset by what she would buy, but then he said he changed his mind, that he would go. I was happy with that.
We had a good time, she picked up a few things she wanted, Then we went out to dinner. I was very happy that she finally got her wish.
Right now I am watching the new kitty try to play with Precious, it's cute to watch. The new kitty doesn't stand a chance with her. Bye for now.

burrrr it's almost for the first of may, and it's freezing. I want warm weather.

This is my husband and son. Trying to post picture of our new kitty, but having trouble.

My client so badly wants me to take her shopping, she really doesn't need anything. Her husband won't even okay it for me to take her to Walmart. I know another family member is in control of how much money they get each month. I try and play dumb that I don't know where the major department stores are. That I am a walmart girl. I don't think she can do much damage there, but I really don't want to get into it over what she can spend and what she can't spend. It's her money, she can't take it with her, so I say spend it. haha. But that's not my call.

What do you get when 100 bunnies are in a line, and 99 of them step back.
A receding hareline!!!!!

The trees have leaves now!!! There are flowers everywhere. The kids and I, did some yard work. They had fun finding worms. ewwww We have some planting, we want to do. but don't know if we have a green thumb. Bye for now.

My site is under construction. Scroll down to see the progress.

I got to work Thursday, the day didn't go as planned. I won't go into details, but her husband had reason to get her in to see a doctor. They were afraid they might find cancer, but after some invasive tests, they didn't find any cancer. I was really scared. I wasn't thinking positive, I was expecting the worse. We are was so relieved. I do worry about my income because I don't have a lot of job security, but in the moment, I was just afraid of losing her, and her husband losing her. She can't live forever, but she isn't leaving yet. Smiles!!!!!!!!

Is there a such thing of too many rose bushes in ones yard? I don't know. But it's my house and land, and I will do what I want with it. bye for now.

My Dad is out of the hospital, and seems much better. That is really good. It's no fun seeing your parents sick. Or acting like a nut. He isn't perfect but much better.

This weekend kind of sucked, guess Tad and I were both in bad moods. It was a expensive weekend, spending above our means, that includes myself paying another week for my new computer, and splurging on some much needed clothes.
Well it's time to get ready for work, at least I can earn the money, instead of spending it today. Bye for now

Do you see the new life forming around ya? Can you hear the birds? Do you notice that the furnace isn't coming on to warm you up? It's spring!! Well it's been spring for a while, but around here in Illinois, there is two kinds of weather. Freeze your ass off, or hot and sticky. We aren't quite at hot and sticky, but it won't take long. Bye for now

Crazy but ok day

My poor Dad is sick, and little off in the hospital. I feel bad for him. I won't be able to visit tomorrow, because I am working. It's been a long but ok day. I seen my Dad in the morning, and then Tj and I had a couple appointments. We had eye dr appointments, I had Tyler checked out for the heck of it. We have insurance, might as well use it. I was little shocked to hear he isn't seeing right. At first I thought he really had a major problem. He was being asked to read the line. The silly boy, couldn't make sense of the crazy letters on the line. He had to be told, just to say the letters. We both are getting glasses, but it will take a while.
Then Tyler and William, and a couple neighbor kids went to the park, and had a picnic. It was pretty cool. It was a very nice day. I can't wait to get outdoors more often. It's been a long winter. Tyler has a group of friends in the neighborhood. I feel bad for William, being cooped up either in grandma's one bedroom, or at Dad's in his tin box. I shouldn't say that.
Then we seen Dad, I hope they can make him better. Tad is mad at Ann and Shadow, they were digging, right beside where Dogi is buried. He won't be mad long, she is too cute. Well it's late, and I want to do nothing else, but lay around and sleep. Nite all.

What a crazy night, I had to leave my job, to deal with my Dad's Crazy stuff.

I have to work today, and then I should have two days off. But who knows, because they asked me to switch, because they need to train a new person. But now there may not be a new person to work it. What I think keeps my job interesting, is that I never know what is going to happen. But also it's depressing when, the old man says he doesn't feel good, and I am thinking, don't die tonight. Or anytime soon for that matter, because I need to work. Selfish thoughts of mine. I do love them very much, but sometimes they drive me nuts. Bye for now.

We are up to our necks with water, and their is no life jackets to save us.

I have offically stepped my foot in the door at Rock Valley, In the fall I will be a college student. It's kind of scary though. Guess I got sometime to get used to the idea. We got the whole summer to get through. Spring is coming around the corner.

Tyler asked if dogs come back as ghosts. Crazy question for a 8 year old. Maybe she is watching over us, or telling Ann get in the trash. haha. We took Ann to the vet last week, for a pre exam for spaying. The vet doesn't think she is going, to get much bigger. She is a small lab for her breed. We can live with that. Well it's time to get comfy and get some sleep. I got to work tomorrow.

venting

I am very stressed out. Being grown is no fun at all. I am suppose to the major bread winner, be a mom, a wife, and now a student. Also I am suppose to be good at paying the bills. I used to be able to swing things, but now it's not looking so good. I owe more per month, than I actually make. Or it seems that way. Every day rates on our everyday living costs of living is going up, but no one is paying us extra money. I am starting to think buying a house was a mistake. I am very proud of it, but it's a lot more money. What good is a house, if you can't stay home to enjoy it. Or if your so broke, your a prisoner in your own home. Don't get me started on buying new tires, because of the damn potholes. I suppose, I could go slower, but there is only 24 hours in the day. Well enough bitching for now.

Did ya know that the trees are ugly and bare now. I really don't like them. I don't want them falling on my house, or to have to clean up after them. but what is amazing is that one day, We will go outside, and they will be full of leaves. We won't notice them change slowly. It will be fast. Do they really change that fast? Or are we too busy living our boring, fast paced lives, that we don't stop and smell the roses. Speaking of roses, my husband bought me a rose bush. I planted it. Not sure if I did it right. Only time will tell. bye for now.

I read on a billboard that said 99% of all quality jobs require a education past high school. Now my questions are. Who decides what is and isn't a quality job. What I may view as quality, might not be the same as what others see.
My second question is if we all get a education to get a quality job, who is going to be at the places like, gas stations, restaurants, grocery stores, and on and on. And is there enough quality jobs to go around. I personally think that, I have a quality job. I do have a little education based on taking tests to prove, I know what I am doing. Also I am cpr certified. Don't ask me if I am any good at it though. No one has tried to die while I am around. Bye for now.

I have a few minutes to myself while my little lady is getting the routine, hair and nails done. It's raining. April showers bring may flowers. After today, I have two days off from work. That will be nice. William will be home for the weekend, or who knows. All I wast is peace. I am tired of fighting. Life is too short to go through it, always stressed out about something or another.
I am still sad about Dogi leaving us. I feel like we failed her. That we should have done more. I learned from Tigger, spending money on tests, don't mean the animal will get better. but I can't get that picture of her passing out of my mind. Tigger died in my arms, but I don't feel haunted by it. I don't know the difference. Maybe because I did have the tests, I truely knew how sick she was. We now only have two dogs, two cats, two gerbils, and a bunny. That seems a lot, but that is actully down from compared to the past. It's been a rough couple years with animals dieing. Well guess that's life. It doesn't last forever. Only thing is animals, don't know that they won't live forever. bye for now

If we avoid having friends, pets, family to avoid sorrow that you will experience when you lose them. You are right. Yes you won't have the sorrow, but the worst is that you won't have the joy in your life, that friends, family and pets can give you. That is just so sad.

sad

Little Dogi has left this world this evening. It's very sad. She will be missed. Rest in peace babygirl.

The ship is flooding, about to sink!

innocent party here

Tad and I broke the law today. Ann was there too. We explored a old closed down out door theater. I think it was the one, my parents, took my sister and I too, when we were young. I am the innocent one. Tad made me do it. Ann loved running around. It was great, but Illinois has this thing, We can't just have land. We need to build houses. Then we all cry because we can't grow our own food. bye for now

Tad wants to put his little Dogi to sleep, because she is blind, and having potty training issues. I think she isn't at that point. She eats, drinks, still gets in the trash. haha. Still gets excited when you talk goofy to her. I think she requires more work now. So we are going to do a wait and see approach. I am happy with that choice. Well got to go, we are having our carpets cleaned today, thats part of the joy of having animals. bye for now

Today I went to the college, did some more preparing for up coming school in the fall. The more I go there, the more I get discouraged. Where am I going to find the time to be at work, and go to school. Not to mention the fact, that I it's been years since I have been in school.
Work is going ok. I found the hearing aid in her bed. They were very happy. My job can get to be stressful but at night when they are getting ready for bed. He gives me a hug, and thanks me. Then Sandy always gives me a kiss. Well bye for now.

It's been a crazy day. Cell phone ringing non stop. Almost to the point, where I am going too far with accepting calls, because I am working. My clients hearing aid is lost no where to be found. I know she hasn't had it yet today, unless she got it on her own. I am going to have to search when we get back home, from the salon. They are expensive to replace. Sometimes taking care of her, is like taking care of a child. I have to account for my own stuff, and hers too. But I guess that is why, I am there.
I hope this evening goes by without any problems, besides hunting for the hearing aid. Even with them, the tv is so loud. My hearing is going to be going too!!
My little boy is sick today. That's not good. But I guess he is doing better. His step dad is there in my place. I can't think of a better person to care for him, if I can't be there. I miss all my other critters. There is Dogi, Shadow, Ann, Martin, Precious, Roger, Fuzzy and can't forget Amy. Twice she has escaped the jaws of Precious. All she wanted to do was play. Silly cat.

Well bye for now, If I go now, Maybe I can walk around outside for some fresh air.

Bitching

It hasn't been a good day. I am sleeping at work. Sounds weird but it's allowed. Part of the deal. I am already awake because of Tad sending me a text message, and talking to them on the phone. Let's not mention, the phone call from the ex in the middle of the night.
So I am talking to Tad, and I have someone on the other line. It's my job. Oops I am not suppose to have my cell phone with me. Oh well 24 hours= all rules out the window. Well she isn't calling me before 8 am to just check up on me. She was actually glad, that I had my phone on. My coworker is sick. Now I understand people get sick. But I just pulled 24 hours, and now they want me to do it again. Hello don't they know, I didn't bring enough soda, or clothes, or maybe I might need a shower. This old people house don't have body wash, and real shampoo. So I am not thrilled. I said the best, I could do was till work till 3 pm.
Now I get home, and Tad has to leave for work. Not liking that. But that's what we have to do. He gave me a present, a rose bush, that I have to plant. Also He gave Tyler and I a rake. Very cool, his is perfect for his size. I can't wait to do yard work. So I try to dig a hole, the ground is too hard. Now I try and get Tyler interested in yard work. Mostly I just want to steal him away from his friends. I am bored. But now I am disgusted. Our back yard is trashed. I am ashamed of it. There is trash from the dog making a mess, there is tons of poop. There is straw all over from keeping the animals warm this winter. The grass is not green. It's about the same color as the straw. Did I mention all the poop. I don't know what I was thinking, getting a big dog. We were and are crazy. My beautiful yard is filled with, poop, trash, dead grass, and more poop. I am so stressed.
I have to be back at work for another 24 hour shift Thursday, and then take my son to the dr. Hello ex again. Then I have a couple things at the college, I have a appointment for. So it won't be until Friday evening, before I can relax.
Back to the crazy big dog. She keeps getting in the trash. When she is caught, because I taught her to give her paw, she thinks it's a even trade to get her prize back, Meaning the garbage. Also can't forget about the puppy dog eyes. She says here take my paw. Now give it back now. Bye for now.

I don't wanna go to work. I would rather stay home. I am very tired.
