Did you ever feel like you were spinning in a whirlpool? I swear… my life has had so many speed bump, I am RUNNING looking for that smooth road, just a few miles on it… Hell, just a LOOK at it and I’d be happy. The truth is the speed bumps have made me who I am today, but dammit, why can’t I get a PEEK at the easy road… JUST a PEEK?!?! Is that really so much to ask? Everyday is something.
Last night I headed to the gym at 5:30pm. I came home around 6:30pm with hubby and the kids. My hubby informed me the refrigerator was no longer working. NICE! It wasn’t running and things inside it were starting to “sweat”. Lovely. He pulls it out to see if it’s unplugged or if we can see something. Nothing there. He goes downstairs to trip the breaker… Nothing… So he pulls it out more, it starts running. Weird. Pushes it back to were it should be, and it cuts out again with a CLUNK noise. So he pulls it back out to see what the heck is going on. It starts running again. Okay, this is annoying. It can’t stay in the middle of the kitchen floor. So he pushes it back slowly slowly waiting for it to click out. All of a sudden sparks start shooting out the back. DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!! I scream. “Get that fucking thing out of my house NOW!” He unplugs it. Grabs the electrical fire extinguisher and sprays the back… He calls his mom. She was not sure but said come get me and we will go to Home Depot. We need a refrigerator. We can’t not have one. I think she didn’t realize how bad it was. So we go to Home Depot. The man says “Sorry, we don’t stock any of the refrigerators.” Oh my goodness are you kidding me?!?!? He says it will be next Tuesday before we can get one. We can not get one elsewhere because we can’t get a high enough credit limit on a card and we don’t have the cash right now… so we are stuck… I say to him… “Can we buy a floor model? We need one tonight.” Seriously… who else goes to Home Depot a 1/2 hour before they close in a frenzy for a refrigerator!?!? He agrees. So we pick one out. It’s been the display for less then 4 months. Good deal. 1 year warranty and we can add 4 more years to that for $100. Good!! Good it. I call my cousin to come meet us with a truck to bring it home. After an hour of trying to get it in the house, it’s in. My mother in law is here and sees the other one… She says “You are damn lucky that sucker didn’t burn the house down. I didn’t know it was THAT bad.” Oh nice… thanks… scare me some more…
So the new one is in and all hooked up!! We have an ice maker with crushed (YAY) and cubed iced and cold water. I love it. It’s side by side. I am so stressed. I am waiting now on the insurance guy to come and assess the damage to the wall, cupboard, and old fridge… our deductible is $250 so we may get some of the $$ back on the new fridge. I may not file the claim at all. I called a few moving services this morning to take care of the old one to the appropriate disposal. So that will be gone tonight. The insurance man is on his way.
Will there ever be a light at the end of my tunnel?? Man oh man!!

It’s been crazy here. I’ve been getting the kids ready for school. I am so glad that they have just 9 more days until they go back. It will really be a blessing!! I tell you just to have the relaxing days to myself will be so amazing!! I can’t even explain it. I’ve been pretty busy with photo sessions too. It’s not too bad, they’ve all gone very well. I am happy about that. I feel like the last couple weeks have been CRAZY busy though and I haven’t had too much time to do anything. I am sorry I haven’t been blogging lately. I really miss it, but it’s like I start my day and pretty soon the day is over and the kids are ready for bed.
I got my hair colored back to natural the other day. It’s really wierd!!! I don’t remember the last time that it was that dark. I do like it though. It’s nice and I have a strip of red in the front too. I love it. I have been working out at the gym harder and I am looking into some supplements. I was looking at the best weight loss pills. Hopefully I can find something to help me boost me through this plateau. UGH! It’s annoying!! Okay bloggers, I am off. Talk to you later!!

It was one of those days… today I had some errands to run so I packed the kids in the car and we headed out. I don’t usually venture out into the world before 11am and today was no different. I do have Xavier and this week has only been a 1/2 week with him, but it makes me wonder, what the hell happened to my kids!! He’s the polietest little guy ever!! I can’t even begin to explain it. He says “Excuse Me” all the time in this cute innocent little voice. I just love it.
First on the adgenda was to stop at Wal-mart and get my brother a phone. He started his service and needed a cell phone (an At&t one) and since they sell the GO phones, it is cheaper then the none contract price and they work. So, we did that. I asked the guy in the department did the other Wal-marts have different phones then what they had since they only had 2 styles. He says no. Okay… My bro asks a question and he answers. Then he proceeds with “You might want to check the Wal-mart supercenters and see if they have more.” Are you kidding me?!?! Seriously!?!?! Is there a box on the applications at Wal-mart that says Check Yes or No. Are you stupid? Can you pretend if not? OMG!! In all my life… I JUST asked the question and he said NO. UGH! Where DO they find these people???

It’s been ahile huh? I guess I don’t really have anything to blog about these days. I’ve been living life fly by the day and dealing with that. Nothing really exciting to blog about and nothing really exciting that’s for sure. I uploaded a new layout here… I love the pink and brown, but I thought it was just time for a little change. So I did this with the green. Not sure I LOVE the green but we’ll see.
My brother got a car today. He got a 1997 geo metro. Nothing spectacular, but he did pay for it all himself. And he’s proud. It does run well and it’s not in BAD shape. A guy hubby works with was selling it so we know it was taken care of. It’s a starter car. Nothing fancy, but it’s something… we all had things that were workable as our firsts… He’s proud… and I am happy for him. Means no more needing to give him rides too which is nice. So I am happy about that LOL He’s off to get it registered. Of course he needs my mom or dad’s signature (I never did when I was under the age of 18 but whatever). They are throwing some BIG stink, actually it’s my dad. And it’s annoying. I have a MIGRAINE from dealing with him. He’s so moody and he’s such an asshole. He acts like he KNOWS EVERYTHING and you know nothing. Whatever… I am SO not dealing with it anymore. I am TIRED of it. I totally understand him moving out because of my dad. I really truely do. It’s more clear now then ever. I’m so glad I DON’T live at home!!

Oh it’s another Sunday… pretty boring and relaxing. Although yesterday was eventful so it’s not going to kill me to have a relaxing day here. We took the kids to Bay Beach with one of hubby’s friends and his daughter, who is SO beautiful by the way - you know I got her in the camera, and Mike & Liz and Xavier (and his mom) and Andy (my BIL). It was fun and the kids had fun, but the lines were SOOOO long. I was a little pissed because Alex wanted to go on the bumper cars and Xavier’s mom, Lola, offered to take him while Xavier was on a ride with Mike and Mariah was on a ride with Andy. Travis and his friend and his daughter had left to go grab food and they were going to come to the house… we were all going to meet back at the house. So anyway, Lola comes back with Alex and says he hopped out of line so we didn’t go… I was like okay… and told Alex too bad… Then Lola leaves to go meet Mike and Xavier off the ride and Alex says… “I didn’t get to go because SHE had to go potty.” WTF?!?! Why didn’t she SAY that instead of blaming it on MY son. Are you kidding me, he’s 4. I was pissed. Liz was looking at me like Don’t kill her B… Just don’t do it… But I wanted to so bad. UGH!! Anyway, I think she’s leaving soon, GOOD RIDDENS!!!! I won’t miss her!! AT ALL!! She keeps procrasting her leave date and that is annoying as hell. Poor Liz. She having to deal with it even more then ME! Anyhow…
Hubby had a mole removed on Friday. It was the size of a coffee bean. It was 3cm deep. They had to cut it out obviously to biopsy it. So we should get the results of it when he goes back on the 18th or before if they call us. Being that it was so deep he has a but that is about 1/2″ long and they DID have to give him 2 stitches to close it. He’s kinda bummed. Not because it will leave a scar or anything like that, but because this is the FIRST time he’s EVER had stitches. He’s a baby, yes, so he’s taking this pretty personal. LOL It’s really bothering him with it rubbing on clothes and things. He’s working today so he’s had to keep his shirt on all day. He’s been off since it was done. He can finally get it “wet” today. They said 2 days… so tonight he can wash it out good with some antibacterial soap. He says it itches pretty bad. I am just glad he’s FINALLY got it taken care of!!
Okay bloggers, that’s it for me today… it’s quite here so I think I may try to scrap something… Not sure… I love this quite time though!!
