I can tell when I am sick.

My body usually tells me that. Like right now, my lip is swollen due to the fact they got chapped two days ago well that right there is my indication that I am about to get a cold sore. SO I am sitting here with this big fat freakin' lip. Not happy can you tell? It sucks cause my medicine is at the new house, packed away somewhere. So I will have to run to the store and buy a small tube. The stuff I use is very expensive but it works. I love my lips for some reason. So much to do today, so little time. Its a half day of school due to conferences and no school tomorrow. GEZZZZ, they just had a week off of school for "Fall Break". I like to know what they are teaching the kids...I mean seriously.

Working with my Son on his chores.

Has honestly been a good experience for him. He's been doing great. He comes home and gets his homework done. I am so happy for him. So yes Jill its working so far for him. He loves the idea.

Tonight me, and my Sisters all went out to eat at a local restaurant. We were supposed to celebrate my BIL birthday. Well I guess he was crabby and didn't come. Oh we were so upset. It was the whole general idea of going out. Well, I ended up with all the kids of course at my end of the table. Mr.Kyle had a splinter and Mommy couldn't get it out so his favorite aunty got it out for him. And Ms. Kel was tired and upset cause Josh kept picking on her. So I ended up with all the kids. Yeah. Guess how fast my food went. I don't care, as long as it got ate is what matters. Jonathan was starting to act up, so we left and stopped at Starbucks...(Yes Gina...Starbucks...I love it too!!!...lol) So now I am sitting here...wired for sound. No more Mocha Frapps.

I forgot..

I was downloading a game, and it took four hours to download. Makes no sense its suppose to be fast speed internet. Its been wonky anyway. I don't understand it. But yeah got up to check it and its finally done. I downloaded a few songs earlier, and they went quickly. I have no clue what's up with the internet.

Good Night....I hear my bed calling me.

What time is it again?

I keep looking at the clock thinking its 8:39am but its not its only 7:39am and I already got the van packed. Most of its furniture like two bookshelves and a small dresser. Stuff I can handle and that can fit in the van. I knew I got a Van for more than one reason besides kids...lol. I have a few places to stop before I get to the house, then going to be there for a few hours. Because I have tons, and tons of laundry to do and I don't want to miss my show at 1pm today. I sure hope the maintenance guy hurries up and is there early.

I wish I had more money, I would go buy the items needed. Like mini blinds, two end tables, coffee table, curtains, especially curtains because of the huge front window...its all wide open and people can look in. I feel naked...lol. Well, got lots to do and I promise to take my camera over today and start taking pictures....since I keep forgetting to do so.

Going to bed now.

The time change has definitely left its mark on me, I've been a total zombie in between this stupid cold and the time difference. I don't know whether I am coming or going. So for now, I am going to bed. Yes I said bed, before 10pm. I have to be at the new place tomorrow so the maintenance guy can fix some things that need to be fixed before I can actually move in. See I didn't want to get the new landlord in trouble so I decided to wait til the repairs were done. So tomorrow, I have my radio there and my cleaning supplies. I am going to wash the floors and get it all nice and tidy. Especially before this weekends move. Up until then, I am moving small stuff over all week. Hopefully Mike can get a truck from work, that would be nice, to move the rest of our stuff. I think tomorrow I am going to go thru the boxes in the house there, pack stuff away that can go into the garage or the attic. I have so much junk its not even funny. And to think I lost half my stuff in the basement is even worse.

Hope everyone has a uneventful night!!

Had our conference last night.

For my Son, he is doing better but not as well as they are expecting. But at least his grades were better than mid-term or however they call it. He managed to get a A in spelling. That is a big deal for him, he had a B but not so good grades in Reading and Written Language. Those two were my worst subjects in school.

Anyone watch Oprah today? It was all about YouTube, and the successes that have come from being noticed. One teenager was noticed and got signed by Justin Timberlake...so lucky. Then the Wedding Couple who actually danced to the Dirty Dancing ending between Johnny and Baby at the end of the movie and Patrick Swayze comes walking out onto stage. Totally brought tears to my face. I get chills every single time I watch that part of the movie. OMG, you just don't realize. I loved that movie and still do. I would do anything for a copy of that movie, better yet I want to buy it. When that movie came out it was the beginning of my teens years and when I became hooked onto the band Def Leppard. Don't ask me how or why those two were coincided together but they did. I guess I am going to have to go to eBay and see if I can't find me a copy of Dirty Dancing, just watching the dance...makes me all tingly inside now.

Pretty Soon!

We will be purchasing a new Television because of the situation with Analog televisions being no longer available. So everytime we go to the store, we always go and compare pioneer HDTV and other HDTV's too. I do my homework when purchasing products and more on technical items. Like TV's, Computers, Kitchen Appliances and other etc. I search online, then I will take a day and shop in stores. But I also like to find out exactly where I can find the exact items I am searching for. When the time is here for our new Television, I want to see the quality of the TV itself. I remember when Mike went on impulse on a big screen and I hated the quality of screen. It was all blurry from the side and if you weren't directly in front of the TV, it totally sucked. So I told him the next time we get a TV, I am picking it out as I want quality and a good value. He just tends to spend and not pay attention to the details.

That was quick.

Ok, back. Took a load over and made it back in time to watch my Show. Even though I have DirecTv I still haven't watched Passions since it switched from local channels to Directv. Now while watching Days, I sit and relax. I miss watching it over the Summer.

Crap, just realized its Tuesday and its Cub Scout night. And poor Jonathan didn't do anything he was supposed to. We lost the Cub Scout book, so I bought another one. Misplaced it over the weekend, well while moving some stuff I found the other book. ACK!!!!!

Gina!!

Your a great friend, don't worry about not commenting as much. I am just as guilty. You, Jill and a few others have been such great online friends. I don't think I have Thanked everyone for helping me win over at Christine's.

I am anxiously awaiting to get all moved, so I can finally sit down and scrapbook in my new little room/closet that I have decided would make a great craft area. I've been purchasing Christmasy items with Snowmen, and Peguins and stuff. I have so much to go thru when I finally get settled with all my scrapbooking tuff, cause I know its all spread throughout the boxes and stuff. So right now, I have my cabinet loaded in my van, and taking some awkward stuff over to try and get as much over as possible. The closets are almost cleaned out, thank goodness we got the garage pretty cleaned out. That was a mess. But what made that happen sooner was, The Landlord decided to have someone move all MY STUFF over to one side of the garage without notifying me. So that meant stuff being moved and put into places without my knowledge. I was sooooo pissed about that. For one I don't appreciate people touching my stuff, two I don't like people using my stuff. I paid for the stuff, and to have someone touch it...and possibly break it. Who would actually get stuck with having to pay to get it fixed? ME. So no I don't appreciate this. Well, my show is on in a half hour. Gonna run this load over and come back.

Would love to go to Hawaii!!!

Last year, my Landlord...not my new but the old one went on vacation to Hawaii. She came back all tanned and looked completely relaxed. Not sure where she said she stayed but I think she mentioned something aboutKona vacation rentals. Because of the beautiful scenary its good to get deals to be able to check everything out. You can go read the Kona Travel Blog to see what information and updates are available. The beauty of the island itself is what has drawn me to Hawaii. I am sure you all remember Fantasy Island....back in the day. If you remember Tattoo would yell. De Plane, De Plane. Even though this show wasn't portrayed in Hawaii it still reminds me of it. Not sure why.

So with that in mind, I would love to have my Honeymoon in Hawaii. Its one of the only places where total isolation and still within the United States is allowed besides Alaska. That's too cold for me. I want warmth, beauty and a beach. And definitely got to check out the volcanos as I am a sightseer that it would a beautiful site.

Happy Monday Morning to you.

I have a appt. this morning at 10am with a place to help me with my deposit since I have to move and of course at a time when I have no money. It bites. So I will go and get that taken care of, then come back home here at the old place. The Furnace guys are suppose to be here and install a new Furnace. I find it funny that it comes at a time when its too late. I loved living here but I am excited about moving into a place different from this. Alot more noise, which I am used to cause I used to live about 100 feet from this house and just having a place that is ALL mine. House wise that is. No sharing the garage, the yard and driveway. Well I have to run out to the van and find my paperwork. Gah I hate paperwork.


Hey Jill, I keep thinking about your post. I still want to say.... YOU GO GIRL!!!!

Boring but Exciting Day.

I look forward to Sundays during the early spring to early Fall. Because Nascar is on. And I will say I am a diehard Jimmie Johnson fan. I can't help it. I became a fan back in 2004 and have been addicted ever since. And today he won again. For the third week in a row. And I have to say he totally deserved it today. Gooooo JIMMIE!!! Congratulations, and lets do a repeat of last year. You so deserve it!!!


Still moving, the landlord did a complete 360 today on me, she's all nicey pie and apologizing up and down. But what am I to do when the damage has been done. Absolutely nothing at this point. I am absolutely worn out right now, I have a cold. Only because its been really cold in here in the mornings. My head is hurting, I have a headache coming on. So much to do, so little time. I need a miracle right now.

Then, I lose my checkbook. Yes I still have one. Well, I decided to call the last place I was with it and its there. Man I feel stupid. I am about to run down there now. I know its late too.

Landlord Rant 2,583,958

Ok, here's the witch did today. Its 7:42am and she is outside painting the friggin house. OH wait she torn down some more vines woke up the kids. As for the painting its 32 degrees outside. WTH? I almost called the cops because it woke us up. She has done this for the past two weekends in a row. I think she thinks she is waking us up to piss me off. What she doesn't realize is she done that a very long time ago. Why I stayed here this long? I really don't know at the moment and frankly. I am slapping myself. Over and Over again. So what we are going to do this morning is finish packing everything up, I mean everything. Dishes, food, and all the bathroom stuff. That way when we get my BIL truck later, and with my van. We can get it all done. Before bed tonight. I simply cannot take another night here. She has ruined so much for me and my life. Well, I will update before I move my computer tonight. To check emails and stuff. Then I won't have internet til' Tuesday sometime. Two days without internet is like a year without internet for me.

Here's the lowdown.

I woke up at 6am, took a nice long hot bath...relaxed. Did my lady duties...you know shave, shower, wash the mop head and soak in bubble bath. Had to wake my little guy up. I so didn't want to do that. But we got up, were at McDonalds by 8am. Got my free sandwich. Got Jonathan his Egg McMuffin, and off we went to get his meds, get all the laundry done. Then my Most WONDERFUL friend Dawn called just as I was leaving the laundromat.. Asking if I needed boxes. So we went down there loaded up some boxes. I asked if she had any more but said wait, let me call other place. Sure enough they had tons and tons. THANK YOU MARSHA for helping me. My Van was completely full. So we stopped by the new place dropped off the clothes, I had to potty...oh god did I have to potty. So we stopped at the store, grabbed some Pizza Rolls and Hot pockets for lunch, with of course some pop for me... and juice for the kids. Now I am back at the old place, putting boxes together and would you believe my Son is again, packing his room up. I am so proud of him. He is really wanting to earn money today. I did tell him if he works really hard, I will give him a little extra allowance. He is really trying here. I am actually thinking of taking a load up before I go and get the kids....to make room in here. Its actually packed. I am in my little corner here....gah!!! I have my own room. The walls might be boxes but that is ok...lol. Well, nothing is getting done with me just sitting here. Gonna go take progress pictures....

Happy Friday to you!!!!

Today is the day. I told my Boyfriend that with the help of the kids today we will have most of the boxes moved before he gets home. And all my little boxes of scrapbooking stuff. That's going first and foremost...lol. I have most of the boxes marked where they go. So that is cool. I didn't realize all the hair stuff I had stuffed in the closet. I am always looking for stuff to tame my frizzy hair. I could have a salon...!!!

Oh and I found all of my Halloween decorations. A day late that is. Oh well. At least for Christmas my exMIL is giving me one of those trees that is white spiral shaped that goes outside in your yard. I am like so freakin' excited about that. I've had no front yard just a boulevard here. Because the front of my house sits so close to the road.

I've come to the realization that when I inform the landlord I am moving, alot sooner than she expected that she is going to happy yet pissed about me going. She thinks she is getting paid this month from housing. Nope sorry. So its my goal to be out of here by Saturday Evening. So on Sunday I can work on getting it cleaned up for her. Do what I need to do. My Landlord made the comment because he knows my current one. Oh she is gonna be pisssssssed. I said, I know but its her own fault for not replacing the furnace. He goes, exactly and there is nothing she can do about it now. Once housing says we are not paying, the won't. Even though she is getting a furnace some time next week. Its still too late for me. My health is way too important. Oh yeah forgot to mention, my chest has been hurting. I swear I get sick. I am having my doctor bill the landlord. Because its her fault.

I got my keys, I got my keys.

Yay, whooo hoooo. Jill, thank you so much for the comment....I actually thought about you tonight. Thinking when you get to finally move back to where you want to move and how excited your going to be. And the thought of heat...is making me excited and all giddy. I know sounds crazy. But its true. I've been packing since I got home. I went into my room and starting packing while watching ER. Its my only time of the week I get to watch my show. I am going to go nuts without no satellite over the weekend but thats ok. As long as I can watch the race is all that matters.

I just have to say, I love my new Landlord. He rocks. He's very very polite and nice. He made the time to come and see me, you know fill out the lease and such. I filled up some boxes. I am going to empty them over there tomorrow. I am also taking some of the boxes with my scrapbooking stuff in them. I think too once I get all situated. Of having a contest myself to eliminate some of my stickers/paper packs and stuff. Or something, I would like to do something nice. I just feel so giddy right now.

Which reminds me, I am getting the curtains out for my kitchen so they don't get packed away where I can't find them. I want them up right away. IN MY KITCHEN!!!!! I promise to take pictures, realize this. I am not crazy. Just excited about windows.

I just noticed.

The other day while I was at the library, I noticed someone was playing some online casinos and I didn't know you could. But I guess you can. It actually caught my eye, and lost track of what I was doing up there. Oh, yah...I was looking for Wedding stuff to see about organizing my own.

I know my Boyfriend used to love playing the online casino games when we first got internet. For some reason he can't get enough of the slot games. Granted they are fun and cool, I am just not one for losing money. But he would sit there for hours and hours just playing slots. His friend was the same way, totally cracks me up!!!

Yay!!!!

Well the contest that Christine ran is finally over, wow. And I can't believe that I won. All my online friends who have voted for me are awesome. Even the ones that voted every single day for me. But the sad news is Christine isn't feeling good at all, so head on over and send her some Get Well Wishes as I know she's looking forward to going to Las Vegas, NV. Please get well Soon, I want to see pictures!!!!!


On another note, I am so excited and squirming in my pants at this very moment. I get the keys to my house at 8pm. OMG, I am just so excited its all working out. I just can't believe all of this. Its like a dream. One of my Bestests Friends Dawn is getting me some boxes. So tomorrow. Me and the kids are going to bust as$$$$ and get this shipped all packed up. And who cares, I am going to start moving tomorrow night using my van. F this crap on waiting. I am getting internet hooked up on Tuesday. Right now I cannot get the Wireless I am using at moment because its just not possible. Until the new internet is up and going I have to wait. Well this little girl is going to go without internet for 3 days and is going to be nuts. NUTS I TELL YOU. I will check it up at the library though since it will be right down the road. I have to go into my email and make sure nothing important is in there that I can't live without. I am hoping I can keep my email with my current provider until the new internet comes so I don't have to change. I am going to ask my Mom about that. Well I gotta finish eating supper as I have so much to do its not even funny. I have to pack up this entire house in one day. The sad thing is I've been packing for a month now. And with not having any heat. Your darn right I will do anything to protect my Son.

I can't sleep!!!

I honestly cannot sleep. I have so much on my mind. I want to get moved out of this refrigerator. The temperature outside is a beautiful sunshiney 28 degrees. 28 degrees and can you imagine the temperature in here? Wait, I took a picture. I have to provide proof of why I have to move. Nevermind the old thermostat...

This is how my morning is, cold every single day. Yet the landlord seems to think that she doesn't turn her heat on til' December. I am sorry but I know that is a lie. I try to wait til' the last minute to turn mine on but when it gets below freezing. I turn it on. This place underground mostly and in the summer it gets really hot because there is only two windows in front of the place. No windows in the kitchen or bathroom. I feel like I've been living in a cave. I am just estatic over the fact that I have windows in my kitchen. I have beautiful curtains for the kitchen which has not seen daylight for about 5 years. WTH is wrong with me? I sure hope whoever moves here doesn't put up with the LL complete BS. Because no one needs to endure this type of abuse. I haven't posted about everything. But after last night, she told the neighbors after she was confronted about moving some stuff of their property. That the people downstairs don't care about the yard. What she doesn't realize is, I took tons of pictures of my yard this year. I planted so many perennials in the yard. I made it look really nice. Yet...The people downstairs don't care? And another thing that really makes me angry is the fact that after what went down with the basement and water damage. She told me, it was MY fight that she doesn't have time. I knew all along what was wrong and in my heart knew who was at fault. She said she didn't care. Well, I fought for her and I WON. She never once called anyone, she never once did a darn thing about it. Yet she is getting something out of the deal. I spent hours, emotions, embarassment and so much more. Yet she talks crap about me? Its like giving a baby a bottle then taking it away saying too bad go hungry. Karma is a awful thing, what comes around...goes around. Then FOUR months go by and she doesn't replace the Furnace? Oh hell no. Its not my problem to begin with and I can't help she is being a ungrateful BITCH. I will never tell that to her face, as I have respect issues but I will make the comment if she wants to push the issue. That I will have my housing come after her for back payment of the rent. BECAUSE I found out if the building is not up to code. They will not pay. That she had four months to fix the problem, and that its not my problem that she doesn't care. Call me a sour person, I will agree. But its only to the LL.

After I move from here. I will be a better person. I will take more time to be a better person. I will not be so bitter. I guess she took away alot more than what I lost in the flood. Once I get moved, I am going to write on my other blog about the stuff she said and did to make my life a living hell while living here.

Oh and here is what I DON'T care about either. We added this little feature to the yard...Yet I don't care.
