I am wishing for the end of winter right now. It has been so cold here and I am just literally so sick of the snow that I could PUKE! I can’t believe it. Everyone has been sick. It’s not fun. I had to get some more sweaters yesterday. I don’t even have enough to make it through the week. I’ve had this terrible cold spell lately. So I got some super warm sweaters. Of course I headed to my favorite store, Kohl’s, they had good deals on pants, sweaters, silk ties, and so much more. They are getting rid of all the extra stuff from Christmas. So I scored deals and some stuff up to 80% off.

I’ve got to get in touch with Sprint, my cell phone provider on Monday. I have had the WORST customer service over the past 2 weeks and I am so upset that I want to terminate my service with them. I can’t even DEAL with it anymore. I am just shy of contacting the CEO of Sprint. I would be interested in hearing if anyone has actually gotten anywhere by contacting them. It’s so flustrating. UGH! I will keep you posted. Okay… I’m off for the night… Time for me to have a snack and head to bed!!!

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 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???

First a little rant… I am so tired of shitty ebayers. I’ve been doing business on ebay for over 5 years. I am tired of the newbies. I am tired of the old ebayers that are just shitty. It sucks. I buy something, I pay right away, they don’t ship for a week. Are you serious? UGH! Or I need to know how much shipping is and they won’t reply to emails or anything. It’s so annoying!! I don’t buy things off ebay for fun. I buy them because I need them. So I want to complete my transactions and get my items. It’s annoying when the seller can’t keep up their end of things. *end of rant*

So I found out that I can turn my blog into a book. There is a program called Blurb. You can turn your blog into a book. I think this is a wonderful idea. However, it’s taken me a LONG LONG time to do this. I had a font made with my handwritting. So I am using that. I am adding pictures in and doing a layout. It’s going to be a long process, but I really want to do it. Not that my blog i going anywhere anytime soon, but I do want to have it in book form for my kids to someday read. Of course they will have to be much older because I do have a little mouth on me, but none the less. I think they will  enjoy reading my thoughts, expecially in the posts regarding them.

TGIF!! I am so glad it’s the weekend. My hubby is off. I have no huge plans, but maybe I can get some scrapping done.  I have no picture appointments this weekend so I am planning to just relax. My friend Jenny is coming on Sunday with her kiddos and brother in laws girlfriend, Erica’s birthday is also Sunday so they are having a little get together on Sunday afternoon. We will check that out too. They are renting a hotel and swimming. So that should book Sunday up.

Okay bloggers, I have a link for you… Check out liver cleanse. I’ll be back tomorrow with more!!
