6 Year Old For Sale!

Seriously, my 6 1/2 year old son is throwing a god forsaken tantrum tonight. It's obvious that he is exhausted beyond belief but he won't listen, he covers his ears when I try to talk to him, he fake cries because he doesn't get his way and he is driving me to the point of insanity tonight. I hate it when he gets like this, especially when I know that all he needs is SLEEP!! He's even keeping his brother and sister awake and they are getting mad because he won't shut up!! Remind me again why I can't lock him in the garage for the night?? (kidding, of course).

May is going to suck. We still have a crapload of things to be done to the house before we move in in July. All of our relatives that jumped right at the change to offer to help hubby with doing the repairs have flaked out. We have a 23 year old nephew who helped for awhile.. until he met his new girlfriend, then he started to come up with every excuse in the book to NOT help so that he could spend time with his new hood rat. My husband's cousin offered to help until it came down to it and he decided he would rather go fishing instead of help.. even though we have helped him and his fiance out quite a few times without asking for anything in return. His other cousin offered to help but every time he gets called to help he is too DRUNK to help out (sad thing is, this one is a couple years older than us!). So much for family, eh? Oh yeah, he also had one friend who offered to help, but he just didn't show up and we haven't heard from him since. People just fucking suck and this is why I don't like most people. WE are usually always willing to help others, related or not, but when we need it, no one is there for us. Fuck all of 'em, every single one. ..... Sooo, now we have all of this crap to do, including finishing packing, painting and cleaning the new house before we move, plus I start my clinical classes this month, which are a lot of work from what I've heard. I hope I survive this.

I did manage to get some flowers planted at the new house today. HA! I feel like an old lady. I never really cared much for flowers until this year, now I've actually gotten excited about planting flowers and doing some landscaping at our new house. Maybe it's just because it's OURS to decorate and no one elses!

I'm beginning to think it is never going to warm up. It's almost May, and only made it to 60 today. Most of this week has been 50s or even 40s. I'm so sick of this crap. It rained for like a week straight, making everything all dreary and depressing. I want to get out my summer clothes and be able to open the house up to get some fresh air. The weather has sucked for the whole last year. Winter was horrid, and now it seems like warm weather is never going to get here. Oh yeah, and the 300 people that were killed in tornadoes. Luckily, I was not affected by this, but know others who lost relatives. What a tragedy, but of course, this fucking country makes the royal wedding a priority over all of these lives lost. Pathetic.

PHOTO OF THE DAY

This is a pic I took last weekend, of an upside down tree in our local cemetery. I dabble in a little bit of photography when I have time. Love this one.

Strep Throat and Annoying People...

What a crappy few weeks I've had. Last week I ended up with strep throat and was absolutely miserable. I couldn't eat or drink or talk. Penicillin took care of the strep, but I still have a bad sinus infection now and my head/face/nose is burning and hurting all day long. Blah! My husband got my cooties and ended up with strep, too, but he had no sore throat (lucky bastard). Thankfully our kids didn't get it though, I was worried about that. Now, I just want to feel normal so that I can enjoy this spring weather that has finally arrived.

My birthday was last Saturday. It's funny how when you are a kid, you can't wait for your birthday to get here, then you grow up and birthdays become just another day. I hate my birthday. It means I'm one year old and one year closer to 40! WTF. I could handle 30, but 40 sounds really freakin old and I don't wanna!!! My husband did surprise me though by waking me up with a dozen purple roses.

My husband's been busy working on the house a lot. Finding more things wrong with it then when we originally thought. Our money is almost gone, but I do think we will be very happy in our new house once we get moved in.

I'm in a Medical Administration class at school right now. We are leaning Medisoft which is the main program that most medical offices use. I'm pretty good with computers. I can sit down and figure out how to use most programs without having to be taught step my step. This class is annoying me. The teacher goes through everything step by step. She tells us exactly what to click on and exactly what to do. However, half the class is saying, "What?", "Where's that at?", "mine doesn't have it", "mine doesn't look like that"...derrrrrrrrrrrrr!! I don't know if people just aren't paying attention or what but.. REALLY??  So, those of us who ARE paying attention and following along end up having to stay at least an hour later than what we would have to because of these idiots. It's soo hard for me to bite my tongue in this class. I will be glad when it's over.

VIDEO OF THE DAY


This is a video that I took back in 2000. A friend of mine took all of my little 8mm tapes and put them onto DVDs and I've been putting some of them up on youtube. When I was younger, before kids, I used to travel all over to different metal fests. This was in New Jersey with some friends of mine in the hotel room just acting silly. I'm not in it because I'm recording it, but it's still pretty funny! I miss those times.
