My weekend starting out kinda slow, but about 9:30 am got a text from my nephew telling me they were going to the hospital. Wouldn't ya know it was right in the middle of cooking breakfast!!! Anyway, finished breakfast and took off. Got a text and 10:23 saying she was at 5cm! By that time I was like "well, it still might be a while" told kenny to get his nintendo.
On the way there (hospital is only 10-15 minutes away) at 10:36 got a text saying "water broke"... OMG getting excited!!!!
At 10:37 got a text saying she was at 8cm!!!
We got there, my dad, and my son came in and said Hi, then I shooed them off. Everthing was happening kinda fast.. so fast that the doctor told her there was not enough time for an epidermal.. YIKES!! they did give her something for the pain, but she said it was not helping.
It was a little before 11 am when the nurse was having her push with contractions. This nurse I have known for a long time graduated high school together 20 years ago. Kinda cool she was the nurse and that John and Katie said she was nice!! Thanks Kathryn!!!
Poor Katie! No Drugs and tired as heck!! Her friend had to help hold her head up during pushing. Well then they moved her and I got to help hold her head up. I got to see the birth of my Great Nephew!! (saying it that way makes me sound old!!!! I am only 39!!! sheesh) I have only ever been to one other birthing and that was when I had Kenny (13 years ago!!!!)
At 11:24 am James Douglas Little was brought into the world!!!

moving
After finding out last week that they want to move me and the office. I go home and find out that my dad wants to sell the house and move. My love is really stressed out about this, I am too but I have learned to put my stress aside/in a bubble/in a box/groud it.... do something with it, or it will tear your body up!! My love has not learned this. She is letting it get to her. I keep telling her there is NOTHING we can do TODAY!! Stop stressing! But she won't listen.... *sigh*
I am not sure when dad is going to want to go, but I asked if he could wait until after tax season. I am not sure if he is going to or not. We are going to try to talk as a family tonight, so there will be no more of passing messages and stuff. Passing messages does not help when one is stressed and not making sense!!!
So it looks like my life is going to get really complicated in the next 2-6 months!!!
All I can say is "Publishers Clearing House- WHERE'S MY MONEY?!?!?!"
LOL
Blessings to all!!

packing
Yesterday (Thursday) I boxed up six years worth out of the file cabinets. I finally got cmart after the 2nd year and got the wheeled table (copier table- put copier on floor) and that way I jsut wheeled the full boxes from one room to the other room.
On Wednesday I moved my small office fridge and micro out of the storage and into the bosses office. So that way I can move around in the storage and organize.
Donated the bosses desk to the Domestic/Violence Shelter. They were happy to have it! I also donated the big office plants to them, they are thinking of putting them in the shelter house. I feel good.
I have spend most of today stapling invoices and weight tags together to get caught up on my filing of the growers statements. I am going to take some stapling home and hopefully be able to get caught up on last fiscal year on Monday.
Then I have to take a few days off of the packing to get the invoices and bills out.
I talked with the accountant today and asked him where I was going to be over there, he made the joke about the basement, it being cold in the winter and hot in the summer... hahahaha.. i joked back that way I can have my music playing.. LOL nah, I will most likely be in the big office next the office manager.. the other office they have available is too small for all my equipement and their equipment.. I am not even sure how many computers and monitors I am going to have when I get there!!!! I have two of everything now: computers, monitors, keyboards, mices, printers....
anyway, gonna get a little more filing done and then go home for the weekend..
blessing to all!!!

hhmm
I think about blogging every day.. but never make it on here.. I have read in the past two weeks hints from other bloggers.. they sat to blog daily, and just write, post pictures.. or whatever.. don't stress about "writing" to people.. just write!! so here I am.. today I will try a list to help sort of some jumbled up thoughts....
1- 2011 is going to be interesting!! 2 jobs, 2 classes, plus family life.... not looking foward to it
2- between now and Jan 1, 2011. have to clean up and pack up my office..
3- not doing so good on weight loss
4- exticed but also nervous and upset about the job changes
5- new puppy issues at home.... aauugghh, kinda why I did not want to get a new puppy.. i love her.. but others in the house are having problems with her.. they need to get over it!! i just REALLY REALLLY hope she his REALLLY housebroken and calmed down by january!! long hours at office working 2 jobs, coming home to do class work for 2 classes...AAUUGGHHH!!!!
6- not to mention DS and his homework.. we have been going rounds this year so far!! he expects us to "help"him .. no what he wants (and I have put a stop to) is for us to do the work for him!!! ain't gonna happen bud!!!!
7- not sure how the paycheck is going to be affected yet!! or the workday! accountants office starts at 7.. not sure if the boss over there is going to want me to come in then.. if so than DS NEEDS TO wake up and catch the bus!!! going to be lots of changes come 2011............
I feel better, but yet not. When my boss first talked about moving the office over to the accountants, I was kinda excited. I would work 1/2 day for each company. Do-able in that aspect. But then the board of directors said no! so a few months have gone passed and now the boss says that I am going to be moved over at the end of the year. great! winter, holidays, and moving an office! yeah! just what I want to do!!! guess that means that I am not going anywhere for this x-mas/yule season!!
the storage room here has stuff from year one!! that is like twenty years ago!!!! so i need to go through and take stuff to a shredding place.. yeah! there is so much to do! and it would not be back but last fiscal year sucked with the big ranch and all there paperwork, that I am behind on filing! so i need to get on that.. so today is going to be spend boxing stuff up!! then i need to try to get the filing done for the past few years... not looking forward to it.. but it needs to get done, before i move...
ok, there is some of the thoughts going through my scrambled brain right now...
i could sure use more coffee!!! but don't dare!! more than two shots of espresso and I am inviting a migraine!! out of migraine pills until I can afford them.

hunger at night
I have lost weight in the past.. one time I lost 80 pounds.. that was about 7 -8 years ago. and guess what I have gained all of that back in that time.. there have only been two other occasions where I have been this heavy.. once when I was pregenant with my boy (so 13 years ago) and the other before I lost that 80 pounds.. so why now when I am this heavy do I think is it ok to stay this heavy for the last several months???? why????
Inside I know it is not ok, I don't like my body, I don't like several things about being so big.. so why have not I changed?? I don't know.... I have gotten complacent in life.. busy with work and school.. well I need to get some time in there to exercise that was the main reason I wanted a Wii and I even have Wii Active... but this last month I have not even played the Wii.. That needs to change! A lot about what I do, how I do it, what I eat, when I eat, how I eat.... NEEDS TO CHANGE!!!
I did go home and worked out with Wii Active after that humiliating episode from yesterday.. so I felt some what better.. If I can do that when I get home.. just 10-15 minutes that all it takes... that will get me started...
Oh, yeah I came on to talk about being hungry at night.. I know that eating after a certain time is bad.. I try not too.. the last year or so I have gotten sloppy in that and have eaten.. So Tuesday I was HUNGRY, I eat a salad about 6 and by 9-10 I was starving! but I did not eat... =) I went to bed with my stomach growling at me.. I was drinking water.. oohh, I will have to try drinking some tea...
anyway, last night same thing.. ate 2/3 of a chicken breast and some broccoli and cauliflaur (spelling?) at about 6 and then nothing else!! I was even up late until like 11:30 and did not eat! I am proud of myself..
I remember from before that the hunger at night can go one for several nights to more than a week, I am prepared for the fight!! hahaha =)

the day I hit rock bottom
mentally the day sucked the big one...
physically the day sucked another big one....
financially it sucked the third one....
pmsing and very broke does not go well with a kid who wants things.. even though they are less then $5 and $10 bucks... that is now $15 less in the gas tank, and I don't get paid again until the 15th...
him being on my laptop when I am work is stressfull also.. for some reason he could not type in "ecosystem" properly!!! he tried three times, then had to get Suzanna, she tried twice and finally got it... hello E C O S Y S T E M !!! nine little letters! damn kid!! and then he asks if I can change it to something easier. Even has the nerve to say he that can look around and see about doing that....WHAT?!?! I tell him in no uncertain tone of voice and words, that if he does that he will NEVER be on my laptop again!!!
ok, now on the some of the physically shit that happened to me today
on the way from work I had to stop by the store, i was not in there more that 4 minutes and some ass in a big 4 door truck had to park too close. I could not get in my truck!!! It was either climb over from passenger side - which I am not flexible enough for that.. or wait for the ass to comeout of the store... I decided to try to squeeze in.. I almost got stuck! I have this soft tissue damage on the lower back, and man let me tell you that FRIGGIN HURT squeezing in!! and then my right leg was almost not able to make it in. I was almost literally STUCK!! I felt so humilated! I could not give up, so I forced past the pain and got in my truck.. for good meassure and it did help the tension some, I slammed my door into the asses truck a couple of times. I was sooo mad and hurt and humilated. I cried on the way home! partly from the pain and partly from the humilation!
I have reached the low point, I need to change!!

Yeah!!!
The last two weeks I have not gotten on and blogged... sorry!
But the last three days have seen me driving 1600 miles to get my boy!! I did it in 2 1/2 days!!!
Dang!!! But my body is screaming at me today, as well as my checking account!! YIKES!! It took about $500 give or take a few... That is about $400 that I did not have to spend.. so bill paying this month is going to rough..
But anyway the boy is home!!! YEAH!!!

Day 13... July 13th
Man do I have some catching up to do...
Day 9 - July 9th... very busy day! both at work and at home doing a college assingement.. did not stop until about 9p.m. by then I was so stressed and wounded up.. that I could not go to bed right away. Dad had gone to Elko Thursday evening, Suzanna was in bed as she had to wake up at 2 the next morning... so i decided to go and watch tv or a movie.. I watched Angels & Demons.. I have been wanting to watch that movie, just have not had the chance.. what a good movie!! now I want to read the book,,, I know it is usually the other way around book first then movie.. but anyway,, my boss has read the books and he says the book #3 is good!! The Lost Symbol.. or the Last Symbol.. I can't remember..
July 10,, Michelle's wedding day... I had a lazy morning.. I should have put gas in the truck before Suzanna got off work but I didn't - it was too hot to run around I wanted to go home and get some research going on my assingment for the next day.. so that is what I did.. Suzanna got home about 1pm, showered, and then we went got gas and her something to eat.. left town about 2:15.. we got to Elko just after 4pm, but Michelle would not start with out us.. so Steph was all bent out of shape! biatch!!! Reception was ok,,, too many people.. too many giggling young ladies.. too many times of Jim (the groom) saying that me & suzanna were his favorite lesbian aunts!!! ggrrrr!! i am more than that! I hate, HATE, it when people just see me as a lesbian!! I am more than that!! Suzanna is more than that!! if he would have been saying favorite aunts,, would have been different - but no he had to keep saying the lesbian thing!! anyway, that rant over! hahaha
Anyway, I wrote a blessing in their wedding card.. I will post it later tonight.. i had suzanna read it and she said I was a shit!! hahahah hehehehe.. there is nothing pagan or wiccan about what i wrote!!! it sounds like an Irish Blessing! hehehe I even put God in there, instead of Goddess & God.. I put God, just God....
Left Elko about 7.. got home.. suzanna had to go straight to bed as she had to get up at 2 again!! So what did I do??? I watched Angels & Demons again!!! and started a new cross stitch.. this is one that kenny picked up at a craft store a while back.. eventually I can work on my dragon again! oh after the movie I was ready to go to bed.. went to the restroom first, was in there reading Harry Potter #7 until 1:45... sheesh!!
July 11 - Sunday.. another lazy morning for me as I did not get to bed till 1:45.. suzanna got up at 2.. so i did not really sleep until 2:15-2:30.. then when I did get up, I had to read HP#7!! had to finish!! could not think of anything else! not my college assingment not eating nothing until it was done! this is only the second time of reading #7..
got a call from a good long time friend about 1-2 pm.. I have known her since 3rd grade.. ours dads have known each other longer... i met her because i went to the wedding where her mom got married to my dads friend.. well she called to say that her dad had died on Saturday.... what a shock!!!!!!! he was always such a good guy! dependable, knowledgeable, macguyver like mechanic....
as my dad was still in elko till that evening.. i called my sister and told her that way we could decided wether to tell dad now or wait until he got home... we decided to tell him then as i did not want anyone else to call later while he was driving or something.. so my sister told him...
the rest of the day was spent working to keep my mind off of the loss of a great person!!! RIP Ralph
July 12 - Day 12... Monday.. dad talked to Ralphs wife and found out more of what happened and found out that the funeral was Friday..
So I decided to call Kenny and tell him what happened.. I told my ex first, and then I told Kenny.. that is the first time that it was really hard to tell someone.. not even telling my sister was as hard as telling Kenny!!
July 13- Tuesday.. was doing ok, until my friend just came in to see about some food to settle her stomach with... she has to take her daughter in to see "papa" and she is nervous about what is going to happen.. her daughter is usually so outspoken and delightful.. but that is her Papa!!
Ok I am crying now and I really need to stop.. I am all caught up now and need to get some actual work done!! hahaha dang internet always intervenes...hehehehe

Day 7
July 7
Today is so much better then yesterday! Yesterday sucked!! From Monday evening to Tuesday morning I had a sinus headache that progressed to a migraine. By the time that I got out of bed yesterday I had already woke up several times throughout the night with my head feeling like it was in a vicegrip. But usually sleep helps this things, not that night!!!
Yesterday morning was a blur of pain and tiredness. I got to work and took both sinus headache pills and migraine pills.. by ten o'clock the pain was gone but I was so out of it. For my lunch hour I leaned back in my chair and slept.
When I got home last night I had to get busy and turn in my first assingment for class. Enviromental Science. The first assingment is just an introduction posting a discussion board thread. Just about done when dad comes out to start dinner. These are the times that I hate having my desk where it is. The radio was on and it was kinda loud. Which usually does not bother me, but it was on the local country station which is staticky.. actaully when the radio is at all stations are staticky!! So I hurried up and got done with my intro and retreated to my bedroom to read chapter 3 in my text book and ended up reading some of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I have only read that book once or twice. I think possibly just once. So this would make twice.
anyway, last night went ok. tonight is the first class chat. The first real assingment is due on Friday so tonight and tomorrow night is going to be reasearch and writing.
I miss my son!! We talked a little bit on Facebook yesterday! A little bit.. like 6 sentences.. but that is ok... I am glad that he is older and that his dad is not a stupid as he was when he was with wife #3. I am also glad that my son does not have to put up with that stepmom anymore!! hehehehe
Ok, time to get to work.
Later all!!!

Day 4 - July 4th
Woke up ok, spent too much time in bed so woke up with slight headache and a backache. The headache was not too bad.. took some meds and it was ok, until after I gave the dogs a bath. Giving Fluffy a bath hurt my hips and made my head hurt more. But as the day went on, it was ok, but the headache came back worse.
Anyway, enough complaining... Kenny called and said that they had fun today playing at the lake. Thats cool... then it dawned on me that I have not spend the last 2 forth of July's with Kenny. Last year he was at Boy Scout camp.
ok, ok, enough i am not making sense tonight because of my head.. just wanted to come on and put some thoughts down...done..
good night

Day 3 - Nightmare!!
July 3rd
The start of the third day without Kenny. He sent me a picture message at 4:53 am, but I did not know it until later. He called me at 6:15 am. I answered to talk to him. He did not realize that it was early I would be sleeping. Where he is at it was 8:15. But that is ok, I got to talk to him. They drove through the night to reach Michagan. Even thought they only have one headlight....
Anyway, I was happy to hear from my boy!! I miss him dearly! But being half asleep and missing him is not a good thing.. the combiantion gave me a nightmare...
We (Suzanna, Kenny, and I) were waiting for a show to start. It was some type play or concert. As it with the older kids they don't like to stand around, so Kenny was looking around the area. We were in a market place or store. He had his cell phone, and I told him to stay close and check back every few minutes. For a while it was ok, then the concert opened and we were allowed to go in. There were many people behind us, and it was such a way that we could not wait for kenny to show back up.
He was not answering his phone! When we got to the auditorium he was still not there!! No answer!
so I went to have him paged, and there was too much that I had to do! They could not just page him! There was a form, an actual form!!! that I had to fill out! It was not fun! There was certain stages that had to happen before they could page him. I had to "do some gardening" (I am not sure what this means! but I had to do it!) it was only after this was done that the stage could be clearing and the next implemented.. then we could actually have him paged!
It was at this time that I woke up! I don't like having dreams of Kenny being in danger!! And having him several states away is sooo not fun!!
So, day 3 is underway...

Day 2 without Kenny
July 2nd..
Last night went ok, I was hurting! Not because Kenny is gone, but because my body does not like to have its monthly thing!! One big constant cramp!! Hurts to sit, lie down, get up, walk, sit back down... everything!! The last year or so Midol has not touched the pain really at all. Tried the white willow bark,, it dulled it a little, but not much.
Anyway, enough complaining!! Kenny called last night! YEAH!! I thought that they were heading straight to Michagan, but I guess they changed the plans. They were in Cheyenne WY. Heading to Michagan today. Kenny says it has been ok so far. Good, I am glad to hear that!
The trip to Michagan will be better then the drive over to WY. His dad can not take the other two younger one (Kenny 1/2 brother and sister). So it will just be Kenny and Mia in the back seat.
It was quiet in the house last night, I miss my bud! I expect that here in the next couple of days it is giong to get worse.... I am used to him going camping with the boy scouts and being gone for a few nights, but a month is different!!!!
We watched the Lovely Bones last night. It was different, and thought provoking. A good movie! Speaking of movies - Eclispe!!!! yeah baby!! Ok, so I love stories about vampires, werewolves, dragons and all sorts of mythical beings! But if I had to chose Team Edward or Team Jacob.. I would def go with Team Jacob!! Damn them guys are stacked!!! and tanned!! whew!!! I love the coloring on Native Americans to begin with, then throw some muscled men in the picture!!! (pant, pant) LOL listen to me!! Hey I may be a lesbian, but I appreciate the fine male form! hahahaha

Day 1 without my son
Ok, yes he left yesterday, but I did get to see and spend time yesterday.. so we are calling today day 1.
I miss my boy! He is my only child! He has more of my heart than anyone knows. Even though we fight over chores and homework, I do love him!
At least now Kenny is old enough that I don't have to worry too much about how his dad is taking care of him.
I woke up this morning knowing he was not in the house, knowing that he was many miles away, knowing that he was in a different state. Knowing and not liking!!
I really hope that he has fun. I really hope that his dad treats him fairly.
Ok, I am done with this for right now. Might come on tonight and blog again.

Monday, Monday
hhmm.. i sit and think often why I even started a blog when I hardly ever write in it.... I enjoy reading others blogs.. so I need to try to got something down at least every other day..
Here are thoughts for today (and yesterday):
I really hate it when the ex-hubby comes to town. Not that I hate him- gotten over him! Long time ago! No what I hate is that if Kenny wants to visit with him while he is here, I usually end up taking him over to my ex-father in laws place. I don't like my ex-FIL. He is a prejudised, egotisitcal, hilly billy ass!! excuse my language! But I really don't like this man! Kenny is 12 years old and I can probably add up the total time he has spent with this grandson to maybe a total of a week!! that is adding all the minutes here are there! But other grandkids who have parents who like to kiss ass... get to spend more time! Sorry if I am not an alcohalic who thinks going to the bars constitues a family get together!
They used to say "oh, we just had a barbeque.. you should have come... brought Kenny, would have loved to have seen him.." or "oh, we went to the lake last weekend too bad you did not bring Kenny out..." "next time you will have to bring him out and you guys can have fun also" you see how it was all past tense???? the was one time where we notified at the last minutes that something was going on.. so I am supposed to drop everything to go and spend time with these people?! I don't think so!!
Funny this is.. the ex-sister in law lives right up the street! she used to watch Kenny for me... now she seems to hate Kenny! I don't know what Kenny ever did, but it is bull shit! He used to ask how come he could never go to XXX's anymore. Now he has gotten over her also.
Yesterday, Kenny was with his dad from 11am till 9pm... I had to take Kenny out the exFIL.. make a quick gettaway.. luckily when I went to pick him up the exFIL and his wife were in bed, so everyone was next door... the ex tells me that his dad got all bent out of shape becuase Kenny has a cell phone and called him.... I told the ex "SO?" WTF??? he is 12 (almost 13 yikes!!) so is he upset because he called his grandpa or upset because he has a phone??
Ok, so enought ranting and raving about the ex and his stupid idiotic family...
whew, I feel better getting all that off my mind...
later and blessings to all who read this...

My dogs
This is Fluffy.. yes a Black Lab named Fluffy (that is what you get when you let a 3 year old name an animal)
This is Nala, the little spoiled dog who I fought to be able to get for over a year... and guess what?? I am not her human.. Her list of humans is #1 Dad, #2 Suzanna, then me.. But I love her!!
How can't love that face?!Saturday, May 29, 2010
Weekends... some busy.. some not..
The weekends are usually time to either relax or do college assingments. There have been weekends where my time is dedicated to all of one, with no time for the other. Of course college assingments rank up there the highest, as the papers don't wirte themselves. Sometimes I am lucky to be inbetween classes, or have a light work load.
Last weekend I was not feeling good. So I did not so much as relax as I just sat around taking midol every 3-4 hours. Last Mondays assingment was not too hard so I worked on it a little here and there.
This weekend I have to "revise and strenthen up" the paper I wrote last week. I have to make it not sound so much like an assingment, need to make it sound more personnal. But also make sure the paragraphs are complete. Hmmm, well I will do it.. tomorrow! hahaha It is not due until Monday evening. I am off Monday so I can work on it Sunday and Monday. whoo-hoo!!
Today, my son and I had to be at the local cemetary to do a Communtiy Serivce day with the Boy Scouts. Every year the Auxilary and Scouts put flags on the graves of Veterans. Then on Memorial Day the flags will be taken down. It was a beautiful morning! The last couple of days have seen rain and snow coming down, but today... blue skies, a slight breeze- just enough to fly the flags...
(well I had a picture to put here, but my computer is not reading the sd card.. so I will try again later)
Have a great and blessed weekend.

To my mom on Mothers Day.. all my love...
Mom,
I still feel you around the house,
At times, I hear you laughing,
Every time I see a mouse in the house,
I remember the time you threw your books at one.
I miss watching movies with you,
As you would drive us all nuts by rewinding,
And rewinding your favorite parts.
You are a hero to me, the bravery you showed
While fighting a losing battle, I will never forget!!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Nine years ago on November 11th my mom passed away after a long hard fight with cancer. I miss her dearly.
Mom
I Love You,
I Miss You

What I should be doing today..
I am sitting at work, I should be stapling weight tags to invoices ( I am like a year behind on this duty), or entering data into Quickbooks, or the dreaded packing up of files. I might not have a job after this month, granted it will probably take until the end of June to take care of everything. But the boss does not think that is it looking good that the co-op is going to continue, he said Monday that it would be a good idea to start packing up the prior years into boxes, so that way it would be easier and faster to move to storage (where ever that it going to be!!) when it comes time.
So yeah that is what I should be doing, what am I doing instead??? Just got done playing on Facebook! Checked on my zoo, my farm, and played some bingo, even won a game!!! came reallly close on another couple of games.
Now I am going to go and check on the Pioneer Woman and see what it up over there and then get started on an assingment for college that is due tomorrow. I have been exhausted in the evenings and have not had time to start typing it up.
Hasta for now!!!

Thought for Wednesday May 5, 2010
Too much fabric softner in the laundered clothes makes my nose tingle, and not in a good way...
There was so much in the washer last night that I could smell it in the hallway, thought it was my nephew washing his clothes. Come to find out it was my lovely women. Love her, but don't love clothes to are too fuufuu-y smelling.
Blessings!!

Oh Happy Day!!
I would have to say that the days where I make my ex husband mad are good days, because I always come out in the end feeling better!! I am not sure why, but I do...
Take this weekend for instance, I was paying bills and realizing that money was going to be tight. Having a 12 1/2 year old who likes to have food, games, food, clothes, house, gas for vehilce, food.. did I mention food?? I hope that he is on the edge of a growth spurt, because it is hard to keep his belly full. Anyway, yes money belt is tight. So I put a status on facebook about how I was feeling. Granted I have said things before about child support not coming in, and if you ask around I am really leinent with my ex.
But this time he was not happy, not happy at all that I was telling his business on facebook. According to him he is paid up,, hhmmm.. how can that be?? He is supposed to pay monthly 18% of his wages no less than $100.. yeah!! he got off really easy on this one!! $100 per month!!! I have not received "monthly" payments since March 2009, so 13 months ago.
In Ocotber 2009 he filed his taxes for 2008 (by the way he owns his own business), he tells me that IRS sent him a letter and that $xxx amount of dollars is going to be coming to support Kenny... Ok, so we have been through this before, it takes 6 months!! If you ask the IRS they release it at the same time as the rest of his taxes were paid to him.. he got his tax refund in December 2009. It has been a few years and I cannot remember if it is 6 months from the time of filed or the time of his refund.. but I am thinking that it is the later, because April has come and gone and no taxes/child support. So it might come in June.. not holding me breath!! Stopped expecting child support long, long, long, time ago....
Oh and then he filed his 2009 taxes in (I think) February 2010, so six months will be??? August.. I am not sure when he recieved his part of refund so who knows how long this one will take.
But see this is how he gets away with telling me he has made two payments!! TWO?? In thirteen months??? 2!! Monthly it should be 13!! but he made 2!! And he says that he called and "they" told him he is all paid up.. hhmmm... He filed taxes in Ocotber 09 and Feb 10.. this in now May 2010,, so lets not count May as it just started,, so March and April.. right there is two months, so how can he be all paid up???? It does not sound right!
Oh to go back to when this happened before, the IRS says they had sent the money, the Child Support division says that they have not recieved any. We (yep him and me) spent weeks on the phone before and even was told by the Child Support office ladies to stop calling.. hhmm..
So anyway, there is my rant for the day/weekend... Thanks for listening.. =) Oh Happy Day!!!
Oh and now to end with a picture we took uptown today....

Saving for my own accounting business
One of the ways that I plan on saving money to open my own business, it to have it visually sitting there - where I can see it every day - every payday- everytime I want to squander money.... the pig is there!! HAHAHAHA

After customizing!!

Reflecition for the day....
When sitting in front of computer and reading.. it is better to busy thy hands with thinking putty, then with Jelly Belly's..
I love Jelly Belly's but I find myself eating way toooo many... so I decided to dig out my thinking putty, to keep my hands busy, and it works!!! Not only that, it is exercising my arm muscle's too!!
Whoo-hoo!

Pet Peeve!!
The current pet peeve -
- When someone makes a statement and you don't know what the heck they could be talking about!
My son just walked in the dining room/my office.. and said "Nothing else is running"
???? "What?" I ask him. I am thinking - Sure could use more information!!
He says that there is no other water running in the house, but he still does not have any hot water. Oh, Ok!!
The situation - My dad, my son and the two dogs when up in the mountains/canyon this afternoon. The dogs and the kid came back muddy and stinky! So the dogs got bathed and then the kid was going to get in the shower.
While he was bathing dogs the hot water ran out.
They came out to ask if I took a shower or anything.. told them nope.
So dad checked the water heater - sure'nuf - the fire went out. He said that it took awhile to light back up.
So when my son comes out and says that the shower has been running and that there still is not any hot water.... hhhmmmm... well lets see - TURN OFF THE SHOWER!!!
So I tell him to turn of the water and let the hot water heater fill up and WORK!!!
Told him to give it about 30 minutes!
aaauuuggghhh!!
Now back to college assignment's... ggrrr have 2 assignment's due on Friday in a subject that I am still learning.. How am I going to get an A???? Try my darnest!! that is how.. if I don't get an A on first assignment just have to make sure all others are an A! hehe

???? "What?" I ask him. I am thinking - Sure could use more information!!
He says that there is no other water running in the house, but he still does not have any hot water. Oh, Ok!!
The situation - My dad, my son and the two dogs when up in the mountains/canyon this afternoon. The dogs and the kid came back muddy and stinky! So the dogs got bathed and then the kid was going to get in the shower.
While he was bathing dogs the hot water ran out.
They came out to ask if I took a shower or anything.. told them nope.
So dad checked the water heater - sure'nuf - the fire went out. He said that it took awhile to light back up.
So when my son comes out and says that the shower has been running and that there still is not any hot water.... hhhmmmm... well lets see - TURN OFF THE SHOWER!!!
So I tell him to turn of the water and let the hot water heater fill up and WORK!!!
Told him to give it about 30 minutes!
aaauuuggghhh!!
Now back to college assignment's... ggrrr have 2 assignment's due on Friday in a subject that I am still learning.. How am I going to get an A???? Try my darnest!! that is how.. if I don't get an A on first assignment just have to make sure all others are an A! hehe

To be a mom, yet not a mom
Yep that it how to sum up, my part in the family. Let me tell ya how it is in the house, it is my dads house, so in comes Papa. Then there is me, in comes Tina, my son was born 12 1/2 years ago, we moved in when he was 6 months, so 12 years ago, in comes Kenny. I met a wonderful woman who has gratiously agreed to be my partner, she moved down from Oregon about 2 1/2 years ago, in comes Suzanna.
Ok I work from 8am to 5pm Monday-Friday, Suzanna usually works 11:30m - 8:30pm 4-5 days a week, she never has the same set days off. Papa does not work, at least right now. He usually does seasonal road construction, but the last couple of years for health reasons he has not been able to work. Kenny is in the 6th grade, I drop him off at school before I go to work, and Papa picks him up at 2:50pm. So there is 2 hours before I get off, about 2:20 minutes before I get home. His homework is hardly ever done, correction, hardly ever even started!! Unless Suzanna is home, she gets him to get it done. But Papa, can not seem to get him to do anything!! Homework, chores, pick up his dish!! anything!!! It is very frustrating to walk through the door and get blasted with, "Kenny is not doing what I say, he is being a little shit". Over and over... I finally told my dad about 3 months ago, that it needs to stop, I can not handle coming home and not even being able to take my jacket off, or put my wallet down. I told him, how come you are like this with him, you were not this way when I was a kid.
I understand that I am too old to be living at home, but I am working on changing that, I am working on getting a Bachelor in Accounting, after that I am going to apply for better paying jobs, and work on getting Suzanna, Kenny, and I our own house.
I love my dad with all my heart, he has had it rough the last 11 years. With my mom getting cancer and going through chemo's and radiation, knowing that it was terminal, knowing that nothing would help. They were prolonging what life she had for the grandkids. I love my dad he is one of my heros.
I just get so frustrated because everytime I try to parent my child, it only works for a while, and then Papa is giving in to Kenny, or just letting it slide..
Anyway, I am glad that I have this blog to let my thoughts out! I am not sure if anyone reads, and it does not really matter too much.
Off for somedinner and then to find my center.. need to calm these anxious feelings, ground them down, and fill myself with positive...

Alien world outside my window
Who took the air and replaced it with dust? That is all I see! Well, ok I see more but not much, visibility is at about 1/8 mile is my guesstamation. The wind is howling, and shaking my office building, which was built many years ago - like 30+. I am not sure when it was built I just remember it always being here. The lights have flickered a time or two. Maybe we will loss power, yeah!! But I still have to do even with out power.. that would just mean no computers and no phone!! Which is the yeah part!!
My allergies are kicking up a little, I am allergic to dust!! I know living in Nevada and allergic to dust??? But it usually is not too bad just as long as I don't go driving around in the desert during the summer. But bring in a big wind storm.... well, it is hard to breathe, and my skin is starting to crawl, my eyes are the worst, feels like sandpaper for eyelids!!
Anyway enough of the drama, drama, BS!!
Time to get some work done while the power is on.
Blessings to all

Who put sandpaper where my eyelids were?
I feel like my eyes are getting scraped every time I blink. Maybe my allergies are trying to play havoc with my day. Well, they need to stop! I am trying to have a good day. Just took an allergy pill so we will see how it goes from there. It is hard to get any work done when all I want to do is close my eyes.
My sholders and arms are sore from working out. I have not done regular exercise in years, but times are changing. I am tired of being so heavy! So we bought a Wii. It came with Wii Resort which is fun!! I have found out that the sword challenge is a very good way to release stress! hehe =) But anyway, yes there are some games in there that require physical activity. Actually almost all of them. Then I buy the Wii Active, it has preset work out routines or you can create your own. Which I did. I have done workouts 4 times in the last week. But Tuesday decided to add to the work out some sholder presses. That is what is making my shoulders ache, but I will continue and will over come.
On the "change of eating" (it is not called a diet!), I did really good yesterday, had a salald for lunch and dinner. Dad grilled salmon, made rice and steamed asparagus. I made a salad topped with salmon and aspargus. Stayed away from the rice! YEAH ME!! NOw to keep it up!! I am thinking of walking at lunch time today. I bought some Skechers Shape-up shoes last week, almost 2 weeks ago. These are the most comfortablest shoes EVER!! I love them. So yep yep I walk is in the works for today!
Oh, my list for work today:
1) get off internet
2) finsih spreadsheet
3) TURN OFF THE INTERNET
4) call the boss on a contract
5) start the sales jounral for March
6) do not turn internet back on!!!
7) try not to get tooo irritated with bossman today
list for home tonight:
1) Wii workout
2) PayJR. pay boy for his chores
3) start organization on desk
4) check to see if final grade has been posted from class yet
5) balance checkbook

Good Wednesday Morning
I go in to wake up my son, and he is already awake!!! whoo-hooo! He just needs to get out of bed. Maybe I will to work on time today!
I need to talk about the journey to lose wieght in a family that does not eat the way that I need to eat in order to lose weight. It is my fault and no one else that I am at the weight that I am. And I don't want to tell family, No we are not going to eat that! I am ok, with making my own dinner. We buy salad mix, boil some eggs.. I can make a salad.
So last night I get home and I guess the plan for dinner changed, because my dad and my son were going to the movie, so that left Suzanna and me. I was supposed to a meeting but not feeling like a social person. So I opted to stay home. What does she want for dinner? Jack in the box! Not my ideal weight loss place. I am a fast food addict, I know this, and to break away from the bad eating habits that has caused me to be so heavy, I need to NOT EAT FAST FOOD! So I tell her that I really was not in the mood for Jack. So I did some Wii Active, got a work out! She took a nap. I woke her up because I was getting hungry. yes, we did go up town, but not to Jack, we went to Taco Time, which is better for me, and tastes better!!
Time to go and make a salad to take to work for lunch today...
Have a good day all!!
Blessings!!

Operations Management Principles
Whew! Ok, here is the thing. I am enrolled in an online college, now 17 years ago I went to a college in Reno, NV. This college waits until I try to get my transcripts for my new college to tell me that I owe them money. And I not talking about a few hundred, no, I am talking a couple thousand - $2405 to be exact!!! Yikes! There was no way I was going to be able to pay them, or with my monthly budget vs. income, be able to stick anything more than $50 per month in... So I hung in there until I filed my taxes. So when I got my refund back, #1 was to pay the college!! Done! Now send my transcripts!! Well, instead of sending them the to new college, they send them to me!! So I have to stick them in another envolope and forward them on. So now the wait it to see when they finally get to the office of Prior Learning for the new college.. but in the mean time my next class was English Composition I, something that I was not looking forward to, not because I am bad at grammer or spelling.. no, I figure it is going to be boring!!! And it might be a class I took for my Assoiciates 17 years ago. So I managed to get another class bumped up yesterday!! whoo-hooo! So instead of English Comp I, it is now Operations Management Principles. Sounds a lot more interesting, and might even require me to use my brain!!! hahaha
The class that I am taking now is not very challenging. So I am looking forward to a class that is going to put me back on my toes... I have slacked in the research and schedule study time, becauase this class just did not require it.
Anyway, that is about all for now!
Tata!!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!
Well, here I am sitting down at Flying Pig, having a beer and atteneding class chat. It is loud in here and my headphones would not work with my laptop. Guess I should have tested before I brought them. But that is ok, got through it. This class is pretty easy. Kinda waiting for something more challenging. This class was about the Online Experience. Ok, I could have used it when I first started, but I have been going since May 2009, and know how to get around and how to submit assingments. So they develope this class with a "Personal Action Plan" Each differnt part of it is submitted in a different way, and uses different techniques - from discussion boards, word papers, and a power point presentation. So far I have been getting 100%, but that is also becuase the teacher provides the rubrics grading sheet. If you follow along, you can't get a bad grade, unless you turn it in late.
Anyway, enough bout school, I want to complain about my son for a little bit. My boy is 12 years old, and he loves my laptop, which is ok, if he asks for permission. The last week or so he has forgetten that little tid-bit. I even found a friend of his on my laptop last week. Was not a happy camper!! Kenny got a talking to about that.
Then this afternoon while at he calls to see about going on and looking for something, so fine he has permission for that. He knows that I was planning on bringing my laptop down to the Pig while waiting for my love to get off work. I get home and find him playing a game on the laptop, in the living room. Unplugged so the power is draining! I told him, #1 you did not ask to play a game on it, and #2 if you are go and get the power cord and plug it in so that I have a full battery. Well, he takes it back to my desk, so I think ok, he plugged it in. It was not for another half an hour, that I get out there, it is not plugged in, plus he left it open! I told him, thats it!! I am changing the password! So, of course he wants another chance but he is not going to get it. So after I am done with this I am going to change the password.
Thanks for listening to me, I hope everyone had a good St. Patty's Day!!
Blessed Be!

To Facebook or NOT?
I am a Facebook Addict! I admit it! I am hooked on a few of the applications.
First there is Zoo World, now I started this many moons ago, but it did not interest me, then my friends got into it and started sending me animals. Now threre really is not much that needs to be done in the game, just a few clicks here and there. But the thing that has gotten me in trouble is the fact that the money does not accumulate. Yes, you get a daily profit, but it does not go into your cash unless you have the application running. Now everything costs money! But some of the levels that you need to achieve are to have so much $$$ saved up, at first it was small 3 million, then 4 million, then 15, now I need 45 million!! I am at 33 million.. But it is getting kinda frustrating because I can't just leave the application on, if it is idle the clock stops! Yeah, yeah there is the treasure hunting.. where you visit each of your friends zoo islands and find the animals that has the treasure. I can do my small neighbors just fine, but get into some of the bigger ones, and the computer freezes. ggrrr.
Next is Farmville, I love farmville, you dont have to go in everyday, and the cash you accumulare depends on what crops you plant. So you just have to figure it out, say plant 2 day crops and then you know that you have 2 days until you have to go back, and then you have 2 days before the coprs wilt.. so 4 days!!! I am doing pretty good there.
Well, that is about all this morning, I have to get some work done and so I can not facebook anymore!!
Blessings!!

What a beatiful day!
The weather is turning out to be so beautiful the last couple of days. I looked at by 18-speed when I pulled in the driveway, and really want to take a ride. But I have homework to do. Have an assingment due Friday night, and need to work on it tonight and tomorrow as Thursday I have Scout meetings.
I got home and dad tells me that there is more stuff for to look through in the garage, NO! more dust!! Ok, heres the thing, dad has been cleaning up the garage, lots of dust out there. I am allergic to dust!!! Seriously I am! So yes, I will go out here in a few and look through the stuff. Last week, found lots of books, most of those were my moms. She wanted to start a used bookstore in town, and never got around to it. There were not a lot of books, but about 100 or so. I had to keep a couple of Anne McCaffery Pern books. Love that series!!
That is about all for now,
Later all!
Blessed be!
