another day

I am so hot! I wish like hell that it would cool off. We went down to the lake today, and that did help for a little while.

So once we got home from the lake I was just so hot that I went and stripped down to my under wear.

Amber just freaks out! I was like what the hell? I am sitting in MY bedroom and you don't like what I am wearing? So I just walked around the house in nothing but my underwear. It did not bother me, but Amber was not so happy.

Nikki did not go to the lake with us. Nikki is letting a boy run her life for the next few day's. Her boyfriend is getting ready to move to Texas, so she is just sitting around hoping that he is going to call her.

Uncle Tony came up today and he brought three new people with him. Now I do not mind having a house full of people however once in a while I would like to have someone to talk to.

So tonight all of these jar heads are sitting around I feel so left out. What the hell am I suppose to talk about? So here I sit hoping for some adult conversation, which I know I will not get.

On Monday we are going to take the children over to the ocean. I just want to spend some alone time with just the 5 of us before the girls leave.

We have started making plans for the fourth of July. I guess everyone is coming over here to cook out and then we are going to watch some fireworks. I think we still have some fire works of our own left over from year, so we may light them off as well.

I guess I should go outside and smile and act like I am having fun.

 

so bummed

So I asked Rusty if was ready to start re doing the bathroom. We are taking everything out right down to the drywall!

Rusty tells me no that we will have to wait. What?! I have already a year. Now it looks like I will be waiting another year.

I have not shown my disappointment, however I just want to cry. I put so much time into finding all the right stuff to go into the bathroom. I have spent so many hours looking for just the right stuff at just the right price. I guess everything will have to sit in the garage for another year.

I am sure I will hear about that too. Rusty always makes some comment like if we did not have this tub in the garage.

I don't know I am just so bummed. However I will just keep on going and not make a big deal out of it.

I need to take the girls out to some yard sales in the morning. They still need some last min. stuff.

Anyway, I think I am just going to go crash on the sofa.

Oh! there was on bright spot of my day. I got together with my girlfriend and she colored my hair for me. It turned out really cute!

recycle

So I am watching Oprah today and it is on little ways that we can help save the world.

I sat down with my knitting thinking that I was going to learn a lot, but I was wrong. O.K. maybe not all wrong I did learn a few things.

My husband has called me his hippy since the day we got together. I do things like compost all of our food scraps. I never buy trash bags because I just recycle the bags we get from the store. I buy only energy saving appliances. The list of things that I do is endless.

Little did I know that I was alone! They showed this one house that is totally made from recycled materials! Now that was cool.

I took the girls out to some thrift stores today to get some more clothes for their trip. They actually found some really cute stuff!

Now that the girls are seeing everything gathered on the table they are starting to get excited. The count down has begun. Only 8 day's until the girls leave!

Oh I did find two totally cool shirts for me. There I go again, buying something used instead of it going into the land fill! I am such a hippy.

 

getting ready

Well it was another slow day here. I did go to the store and get some stuff for the girls to take on their trip. I think I am almost shopping for them.

I talked to my girlfriend Jacinda today and asked her to die my hair for me. So we are going to get together on day this week and do my hair. I am thinking that I should have purple streaks put in my hair.

Tomorrow I am going to go buy two more of the coats that I bought for our girls. One of our friends up in Oregon has girls the same age, and our friend Tony said that they would love the coats. Anyway, tone gave me the money so I could go buy them and it will make him the cool uncle at Christmas.

I am so tired today! last night I rolled over to touch Rusty and he was not in bed. So I got up to look for him. It is 3:30 in the morning and Rusty is sitting here playing a computer game! He said that he could not sleep. Well I am awake now!

I am off to finish being a couch potato!

it must be monday

Well it was another hot day here. I swear we live so close to hell that we can see the flames! LOL

I had no where to go and nothing to do today so I just sat in my p.j.'s all day. I did however put on some shorts to run the girls to their friends house.

I went to the outlet mall yesterday and I scored the girls some really nice coats! They were on sale 2 for $30! The guy at the store said that they were last years style and he just wanted to get rid of them! So I put the coats up to use as a Christmas gift.

Rusty went outside without his shoes on and tore the crap out of one of his toes. So he is limping around. I told him to wear shoe! The worst part is that his blood thinners make him bleed like you would not believe. He will live through this and once again I got to say I told you so! LOL

Rusty wants the two of us to start selling real estate. I am not to sure about it. We have nothing to lose. We are already on a fixed income with a little bit of play room. We are going to go talk to a lady on Wednesday and see what she has to say. Rusty seems to think that we would make a great team. I am thinking that I would have to leave the house even when I don't want to. I am so spoiled.

well I think I am going to go soak in a tub. That sounds relaxing.

yesterday was so boring!

I was so bored yesterday that I thought I was going to scream! All of the children were out with their friends so I was stuck in the house! I could not go anywhere because they all had to be picked up at different times. I do hope that today is better!

Rusty said that he was going to take me out to dinner tonight since I was sick on my birthday. I just do not know where I want to go, so I need to think on that today.

Kevin, our friend in Iraq, called yesterday. It was so nice to talk to him. I made it a point to tell him that I am very proud of him and that we love him. I think I heard his voice crack! LOL

Saturday I am going to go yard saling with some girlfriends. I have not really hit any yard sales this year, so Saturday should be a good day. There is this retirement community by us and they are having their big community yard sale. I am hoping to find some good stuff!

Elle should be coming back to California for a visit! That always makes me smile. I just love spending time with good friends. I told Elle that next tear I want to go visit her in Alaska.

Yesterday I got a lot of comments on my icon. Here is the place I go to www.photobucket.com once you reach the main page then just type in what you are looking for. If you see an icon that you like then click on it, and then click on it again. Then look for the icon you want and copy and past it into your journal.

Well I do have stuff to do today so I hope everyone has a good day!

boys can be such jerks

Amber and I were sitting on the sofa yesterday. We were just sitting and watching some t.v. when I asked her what was wrong.

Amber just broke down crying. Here sweet 16 was horrible because the friends that did show up blew her off because they brought boyfriends. Amber said all she wanted to do was curl up into a little ball and cry.

Then her boy friend blew her off and then dumped her.

Then some of her "friends" were making fun of her because she made the "a" dance team and not "THE" dance team.

So Amber no longer has a boyfriend and her so called friends are no longer her friends because she did not make the right team.

So we went and got ice cream and just cried together.

Today Amber is up at the church learning how to work the sound board. I am just so glad that she is not sitting around doing nothing!

I have a long list of things I need to do, but I think I am going to go load the dishwasher and just go lay in the sun and get a tan. House work is so over rated!
