That’s right folks today I celebrate another birthday. What am I doing? Spending it with my folks and husband. I will be eating tuna noodle (my favorite) and hoping that birthday luck will be mine and Momma and I will win the card game.
And you bet your ass there will be cake!!
I lost my Uncle Gene last night to cancer. Mom called me last night, but I didn’t get the message until this morning so I’m still processing some. Uncle Gene was the uncle I was closest to. He would call the most often and when my Aunt Ardis passed he became a larger part of our family again. He was funny, he was strong and he was loved.
Hi! I’m at my folks once again and in little while we are going to eat. Then we will be playing beauty shop and taking care of some foot care for the folks. So how is life going folks? Are you all happy and well? I am doing pretty good. On my second day off and enjoying it. I went shopping yesterday and bought a pair of shorts to show off my big fat dead chicken colored legs. Actually more for the coolness, but what heck and of course a new t-shirt. And after my visit with my folks I will be going home and cleaning a bit more. A little at a time. One pile at a time.
Question when you were a kid did you drink right from the kitchen faucet? Do you ever do that now? I did that the other day because I was being lazy and didn’t want to dirty a glass. I realized I don’t hardly do that anymore. Is it because I have lots of glasses? Is it because the sink at home is filled with dirty dishes? Is it because my boobs and belly get in the way? Probably a combo of all three. But for a minute I was a kid again!
Okay so hear it goes. Life has been frickin crazy and I have been working my butt off. Why? Because that’s just what I have taught myself to do. Hours available? Mine, mine and all mine. Stupid? You bet your ass. But I think God has put a couple of signs up and I’m supposed to slow down. What signs? The fluid in the lungs, the weight gain and probably the hardest for me to mention… I have been working so much I forgot my dad’s birthday. I didn’t even realize it until I talked to my mom. A little more then a year ago I was so concerned that I might lose him and now I miss a fucking birthday. How does a person do that?
So I talked it over with the people in my life and they had lots of great wisdom. The best was, “It’s great to want to pay the bills, but you can’t kill yourself or ignore the people you love. Work to live, not live to work.” Okay so I’m going to try. I turned down over time this weekend and so I have Friday and Saturday off. One day at a time right? Find stuff to do that I enjoy again right? Taking some advice from the little train that could, “I think I can.”
Okay so I’m trying to think about what to say that you may find interesting and I really got nothing. I mean I worked, my new resident was cool with me and didn’t try to grab my “goodies”, but neither did anybody else this week.
My frame of mind is that of a woman who has a lot of steam to blow off, no money and limited time. That could be because I didn’t have any anti-depressants for a week or it could be the return of the everyday bullshit.
I don’t know about you but I get so tired of dealing with people that don’t think, don’t give a rats ass about other people or themselves. I’m tired of feeling like my feelings don’t matter and I’m tired of holding my tongue. So here it goes…
1)One stupid people at the gas station not getting gas don’t park in front of the pump unless you are getting gas (and I’m not talking about the kind that comes out your ass). Park and go flirt with the chick behind the counter, don’t let you dick be in the way of my gas pump.
2)Woman with small child in store. Either get your kid under control or I’m going to run his ass over with a cart! Why is this child out of your sight? Do you drop him at Kroger to avoid paying a sitter? I didn’t have him don’t make me responsible for him.
3)To my old man. Two people live there. Two. Bottles have a place, so do dishes and clothes. I had the pleasure of wearing a shirt that you washed yesterday that you washed and dried. It was one of those loads that had sat in the washer too long and should have been rewashed. Do that next time. Not dry it so it smells like mildew.
4) And finally those of you who have money trouble…And when I say money trouble I mean you are working, but don’t have enough to buy new shoes or eat out everyday. Fuck you. Complain when you can’t pay your rent, can’t afford medication or your kid doesn’t have food. Who gives a fuck if your jeans are faded. Mine are patched, but I wear them. Stop and be thankful you have a job. I am, every single day.
Oh I feel better. Much better in fact. I just needed to say that. Now I’m going to go about my day. I think I’ll start by picking up the house a bit and then I nap and read!
Good Morning my friends! Hope all is well on this beautiful Tuesday morning. It’s a bright sunny day and I’m awake. I wouldn’t be but I went in to work for a little bit this morning.
So to do a little catching up…. We have a new resident. He came from that other group home that I told you about where I was used as a human punching bag. The guy is the one who is VERY affectionate to female staff. So one male staff needs to be there at all times. I lucked out. Not sure if it is weight and height that keep his hands off of me or the fact I have already proven I can take a punch, but he is cool with me. But still the rule applies even with me. Our group home is much more laid back and our residents are older then the other home he came from so it could make a huge difference in his behavior. Not to mention more overtime until we get staff. Since the staff has to be male it could take a bit of time. $$$
Home is pretty good. All my furry children are doing well. They love that I spend more time at home. I love I get to spend more time at home with them. I took a picture of my house prespring cleaning and I’ll post that for you when I get up to Mom’s house. I’m cleaning a little at a time. Got the stove cleaned and looking sparkly, the dishes are staying done up for the most part and today I’m cleaning the fridge inside and out. Then if I have any energy and the fridge cootie monsters don’t kill my ass I’m going to tackle my bedroom. I’ll take a picture of that before and after to so you can praise me for my effort. Especially since I HATE house cleaning and I HATE that it ever got that messy in the first place. That and praise is the next best thing to you all sending me chocolate as a reward. Should I get a reward for cleaning my house? Hell yeah and for staying married so long and for staying out of jail and for being so damn cute even if I am too damn fluffy! I think we all deserve rewards for what we do everyday! Chocolate for EVERYONE! Okay maybe not for me. I think I have reached my sugar limit!!
Okay I have to go get busy. Tell me what everyday thing do you do that you wish you would get more praise for?
I’m running short on time due to spending a great day with my mom out and about, but I did just want to say hi. Vacation plans were changed and so I have spent my time and money doing stuff that I want to do around town. Dinner out a couple of times, hair trim, highlights (tried to get a picture, but it didn’t do justice to the color) and I got my gym membership and shoes. Plus odds and ends. Girl stuff and since my plans changed at the last minute some stuff done on my truck before the trip. While I’m heart broken that I couldn’t go I took some of the money to pay some bills too. So I wasn’t just a spend freak.
I have two days left to my vacation and I’m going to tackle my house a bit I think. And read. I bought a huge collection of Jane Austin stories while at the book store!
A day early, but the greeting still counts! I’m working Easter. SO I’ll be cooking and trying very hard to not eat the boys candy!! Colored Easter Eggs yesterday with my residents and my boss. I must say some of them were a real work of art! I splatter painted my green egg with yellow and blue glitter.
It was fun. Today we are at my mom’s house to visit with friends Mike and Dar and the folks. Ate a good meal (huge meal) laughed alot and now I’m typing to you! I hope you all have lots of big plans for tomorrow and enjoy the day!
What part of the chocolate bunny do you eat first? I eat the tail. Everybody should eat a little tail! 
And it’s bad. God help me for saying this, but some times confession is good for the soul. I’m addicted to Dancing With The Stars. There I said it and I’m not sure how I feel. It started simple enough, I wanted to see Billy Ray dance or okay I wanted to see Billy Ray wearing as little clothing as possible, but then I got hooked. When I saw Joey and then John dance I was torn. Do I stay loyal to Billy Ray or do I switch? But then I decided I have room in my heart for more then one favorite dancing star. That and I still have the Billy Ray eyecandy!
What show is your guilty pleasure? It’s okay look I said mine and I didn’t explode or anything!
Yep it’s really me and yep I know I promised I’d be back sooner, but I had a good excuse or two. First I went to work in another group home for about a week where I got the living snot kicked out of me. One of the residents had a melt down and I got knocked around pretty good. See in normal situations when someone came at me I would be able to defend myself. Swing back and whatever. In this case I can’t I have to try to calm them while being head butted three times and slammed against a wall. So I got pretty banged up and that was my last day there. I ended up with bruises on both my arms and a slight one on the chin and one right in between my boobs. Ouch!
Then while I was home recovering from that I got a cold/flu. With a fever of 102.8. I haven’t run a fever like that in years. So that freaked me out a bit and then I ended up going to the hospital to get meds and stuff. I was sick as a dog for four days.
But I’m happy to say that I am feeling a 100% better. I have two off days at least a week and I have no idea what the fuck to do with myself. But my vacation is still on. Where has pretty much been decided. Now I have to confirm. Hope all is well and I’ll type at you soon!
