The New Year!!

Well I did some changes on the side for links and such. You will notice that I don't have the links complete for my characters except Krys, but I am at work, and we have websense, which blocks gaming sites, although I can read the "official forums" Its odd. Anyways, I tried proxy, but that gives you some goofy ass address and its not the proper link, so I will have to do that at home.

I have lots of pictures filling up on my new camera, have to get that printer hooked up and the camera software installed, doing that this weekend. And then it will be time to spread the love with pictures =) Have to show off those two beautiful boys of mine.

Resolutions:

EQ: Play when I can and make all the stinking food Zym has sitting in the bank for the guildies. Just cant get motivated for that, as I get no XP, and we really really need those batch refines. /nod yep yep. Krys's goal is just to keep up with the pace, be at top level before expansions, and slowly work on gear, or faster, depending on the rate I can get some money.

RL: OMG, since we have been without a camera for so long, its take lots and lots and lots of pictures of the babies. As for anything else, I hate making resolutions, because I always end up breaking them.

As for the weight loss thingy up top. I haven't changed it, well, because I haven't lost anything over the holidays. Haven't gained anything either, so that's good. We should be back to normalcy by the end of this weekend. And I can get back on track.

Oh oh, I did think of one more resolution. And that is to keep in touch with my friends better, because I really suck at that. Love to Stephen, Erik, Kim, and Denise /hugs =) (Yes, I only have four friends =p)

EQLand: Dinged Krys 37 sage, helped Scott finish up his blade of assassin heritage, checked ferrott for my last bouncer, killed PH went to bed. So Exciting!!!!

Merry Christmas

What a weekend this has been! Lets see, I wrote on Friday, I think it was. So Friday night, Scott’s mom took the boys out to dinner and then shopping. They left at 6:30 and got home at about 9:15. In that time, we were able to clean the house, finish up some cookies, make Port Wine Cheese Spread, and wrap all the presents for the boys and each other, and every one else.

So they get home, and whine of course about going to bed. Here is where I notice that Nathan is a little congested, and despite my best efforts, including holding him down, I cannot get him to take any medicine. Anyways a good hour later, they are finally asleep and then Scott and I head off to bed. I know that we did end up playing EQ, but I have no clue whatsoever what we did.

So Saturday we get up at like around 7:30am, Scott had to work. Now, they left him with an open-ended schedule, meaning they had no clue what time he was going to come home and be done with work. So I pick up the little, basically meaning, I follow the boys around and clean up their messes. Then I get THE phone call. The one where Scott says that he is going to end up working until his normal shift of 4:00, with no chance in hell of getting out early, to enjoy Christmas Eve with the family.

So anyways, we work around that, I make my Scrumptious Carrot Cake. Yummmmmmmmmy!!!!! And then finally Scott gets home, which leaves us about 45 minutes, and we have to leave. We head over to Scott’s cousins house, and stay there for a little bit and then head to my mom and dad’s, dropped off the boys and went home. My parents took the boys out to see Christmas lights and such for about an hour. It was just enough time to get the rest of everything in order and take a shower. For both of us.

Once the boys got home, which was about 9, we changed them into pj’s and then headed to the computer and checked the Santa tracker. That was cute. Trenton was getting all excited. So then we set up the cookies and the milk, put the reindeer food in bowls and set that outside, left the porch light on so that Santa could see his way into the house, and tucked them in. Read them a story. Then turned out the lights. All you could hear for about 5 minutes was Trenton talking to Nathan. “Nathan go to sleep, if you don’t Santa won’t show up and give us presents.” Then Nathan says “k” and that was it. They were out.

We put out the presents and then went to bed. YeeHaw!!

Christmas morning was cool. And crazy. They opened presents enjoyed all that they got, and then Trenton had a fit that Nathan’s presents were bigger. But then Scott had a talk with him, and said that his were cooler than Nathan’s and that made Trenton feel all better. People came over, we made dinner, and OMG Scott made the most wonderful ham. God I love my husbands cooking. And then of course we got to open more presents. Now lets see if I can get this right.

Trenton
V Smile Pocket (this was actually for both boys)
Games for the V Smile: Spiderman, Scooby Doo, and Mickey Mouse
Sorry game, with Disney characters
A bunch of little stocking stuffers
Two movies: Willy Wonka (with Johnny Depp) and then March of the Penguins
A slot car set
A Disney shirt, with Dash on it

Nathan
Two games for the V Smile: Elmo’s world and Care Bears
A Disney shirt, with Buzz Lightyear on it
A Thomas the train video
A wooden train set
A wooden army base/plane set (with 1000 little pieces)
A real train set, oh boy did that make him soooo excited
A little Einstein’s video

(I cannot remember everything, I need to start writing this crap down)

Scott
A nice shirt
An Eric Clapton CD

Me
A CSI puzzle (cant wait to start on this)
The Garth Brooks CD from Walmart
Three new outfits

Scott and I
An absolutely beautiful wind chime
A refrigerator (Scott’s mom)
A stove (from each other)
A digital camera, memory card, accessory set and a printer that you can hook up to the computer, or just pop the camera on it (from my parents)

This Christmas totally rocked.

Well, I did end up with one gift that I did not want, and that was Strep Throat. So yay me, I ended up with Monday and Tuesday off, so I played EQ all day. =)

EQland: I played a lot and ended up at 50% through 57, I hope to be 58 by the end of the year, and am anxiously awaiting the announcement of the expansion to see if we get a level increase or not. If we don’t, I suppose I will have several characters at 60, at least
tradeskill wise.

Awwww, my poor blog....

is lonely. =p. I have been sooooo busy as of late. Not cool, all I want for Christmas is a nice long nap and a drink =) First I am gonna do this one backwards.

EQUpdate: Krys is now a lovely level 56. And, OMG OMG, I got a master chest drop the other night, and closed my eyes, praying. "Come on, Ice Comet Master 1. Come on baby be in there. I moved my mouse over the chest, clicked on open as I closed my eyes. And what should appear before me as I opened them. Well, lets put it this way, I screamed so loud, I think I woke the babies. Yes sir, Ice Comet, Master 1 in my hot little hands. WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then last night, I am cruising the broker, (I need to get my Intelligence up, now that I have that lovely new spell) and what to my wondering eyes should I see, but a beautiful robe with Flowing Thought II (would sound much better if it were three) For only 3pp while everyone else is selling for like 10-15pp. So my happy ass ran up there and purchased that puppy. Keepers Robe of Quiesence (cant spell that, but if not mistaken it's the same as the EQLive Shaman spell) But I need some suggestions as to where to camp or what to buy to boost my INT. I am sitting at 326, and IC hits for max 5545, although I did get a 6k hit the other night, that rocked, about one shoted a lvl 54^. Was pretty nifty.

Eyezes finally dinged 51, hes so slow, lol. But he quit playing him for awhile, til they figured out most of the coercer stuff. He says "We were so screwed up, but now I can solo again, YAY!" My husband is so weird.

Oh one other thing: Concussive. Not bad, I did get a chance to use it the other night when trioing with Modex, I can pull aggro from his pet quite easily, so this was nice, cast it, cast IC, and boom, no aggro, for the time being. Wasnt too bad, but I can believe it will be fairly useful, on the big long fights. =)

RL: Not as exciting. I have made 14000 cookies. Okay, maybe not that many, but damn it feels like it. We are also hosting Christmas dinner at my house. YAY!

The boys are boys, the hubby, is being himself as well. Work has been hectic, C's mom passed away, so shes out all week, L has been sick, so she was gone two days and Peter has spent every afternoon at Hyundai, because their office manager is on medical leave. HECTIC.

But I have next Tuesday off, and I am gonna sleep sleep sleep.

Damn, bossman is here, will try to write more later and if not. (screw PC) Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Edit: Proof reading is your friend. bah.

Major Appliances

YAY me!!!! We are getting a new refrigerator and a new range on Saturday. Woohoo. Now I wont have to worry about the oven being 100 degrees off anymore. You know how nice that will be? And the fridge. With like fifteen door slots, for all that stuff, you know like ketchup and the like. Will save soo much room. It also has that door in the door thing, where you open this little cubby door, and you can pull out the milk. And....it has a child lock on it.

Well, yesterday it was supposed to snow like 14 gabillion inches, and we got around 2, HA!!!! it was pretty though.

The bus forgot to pick Trenton up yesterday as well, so he got a free day off school. As it was snowing big time when the babysitter called. So I just decided he didnt have to go yesterday. He told me, you know mom, I got to play all day at Ms Mel's and it was fun but boy am I worn out. lol. I thought that was cute.

I really need a digital camara. Badly. I want to take so many pictures. Maybe that will be a goal with income taxed this year. We are this close to getting EIC again this year. I hope we do, but if not, I dont we will ever get it again. With Scott working again. But OMG if we do. The past two years it was a 5k return on my taxes. 5k in my hand. I could really use it again this year. As we are close to finally having all the finances in order and being able to finally live comfortably.

EQUpdate: We went tooling around the living tombs last night. Me, Scott and his brother. (wizzy, coercer, necro, in that order) and boy did we have fun. The three of us are very very capable of taking out heroics. We prefer the ones that are actual groups of mobs, as we mez and then take em out one at a time, but ^^^ are no big deal either. As in enough open area I can take a ^^^ arrow on myself. Takes a while, but I can do it. But anyways we found this nifty little spot in the tombs, so I think we are gonna be hanging out there tonight, not to mention the dungeon XP modifier is always a nice boost =)

Jingle Bells

Santa smells. Robin laid an egg. The batmobile lost a wheel and the joker got away, HEY!! I have heard that 14 billion times this weekend. =/

All the christmas shopping is done, Everything. Now just to wrap, what fun. But the boys ended up with some good stuff, will run the list after christmas. I am sure between, my mom and dad and Scotts mom and dad, it will be a long list.

Saturday morning, I got up and was wondering around, and I hear drip drip drip. Our bay window was leaking, and the gutters had enough ice in them to kill a deer. So Scott spent part of the day out there chipping all that ice away, and Viola, no more leak in the bay window. Trenton was outside with him as well. Too funny, he is. He was making snow angels, and then shovelling stuff and scraping ice off the house. He was out there for about 2 hours. He fell asleep at 6:15 and slept til 8am on Sunday.

I ended up making 3 loaves of banana bread. Yes they didnt touch a single banana I bought, so I made bread, the stinkers. I also made strawberry pancakes, picked up the house, did 7 loads of laundry, did 2 loads of dishes and played EQ2 for 2 hours. I used my time wisely, OH OH, and I made egg rolls for dinner, so from start to finish, it took me 1hour and 15 minutes. Yup, just call me Susie Homemaker =p

Nathan is being Nathan, just as cute as can be, but he is beginning to be a pain to put to bed at night, I think its time for the naps to start slowly going away. Yup yup.

EQUpdate: Dinged 55 with Krys, Eyezes got 51, we found a good name farming place until...we realized his drops were lore. Which wouldnt be bad, except we are wearing the drops, so no more looting looting, from that guy. We did get a master chest from him, which was cool. Lets see, I also got my jeweler to 26, and began working on tradeskill stuff for krys. need to log in Zym and make more food and drink, but hell, thats hard to do when you are 60 and cant get any experience. It sucks. Maybe I will do that at lunch today, and ust get it out of the way.

Wednesday, December 07, 2005

I am getting bad at keeping this updated

Well other than the fact that baby and I have both been hunkered down with the flu, not a lot goign on. Although, I did take Trenton out on Monday for some Mom and son time. He really enjoyed it, and I kept him out too late and I paid hell for that yesterday. But we did have a really good time.

We went out to dinner, then went to Toys'r'us and the mall. And he played in the play area.
It was fun.

No EQUpate, as I have been so sick that I have been going to bed early, and when I havent been feeling like shit, I still am tired.

And I havent weighed myself in a while, think I will do that today, although I have a feeling it wont be good =(

Friday, December 02, 2005

I wanna do that again!

EQUpdate: OMG. I spent approximately 25 gold on the stupid gigglegibber goblin gambling game (say that 5 times fast while drunk =p) to try to win the (at the time) 475pp jackpot. Of course, I am not 475pp richer, but someone on Najena in the middle of the night, is now 500pp richer. Congrats to them =)

We ended grouping, Scott and I, with Borac and Sinister, and Modex tagged along. We went to Clefts of Rujark and hit the third floor, Epic X2 groups. OMG. Can I say that again? OMG. I think we fought for about 2 hours, maybe. I started the night with no Xp into 54. I ended the night with 57% into 54. That was some rocking ass XP. I am all about doing that again. Hell ya!!!!!!!!!

Long time no see

Let's start from the beginning.

Tuesday night: Things began just fine. Although Trenton was complaining of a slight stomach ache, and wasnt hungry. Thats okay I said, how much junk have you eaten today. That was the only thing I could think of. So the rest of the night was boring, and everyone went to sleep. YAY!!

Wednesday: Wake up. Trenton still complaining of a slight tummy ache. No worries, he is acting fine otherwise. So I get them all going. Send to Mel's. Go to work. 8:15 I get the call. Trenton is throwing up and has diareah. Nice. So I go get him and I leave Nathan there, and Nathan is just having an absolute fit, and I tell him I am taking Trenton to the doctor. and Nathan says he wants to go to the doctor with us. HA HA. So we leave, I get Trenton to chill, he throws up a couple more times. And finally takes a nap.

He wakes up about 45 minutes later and complains of his tummy really hurting and pukes a little more. So I am sitting next to him and say show me where you hurt, and he points to the part of the body where your appendix is. And then I ask him if he has a stabbing pain or if it feels like he is clenching up. He says stabbing and at that point he also has a low grade fever. So I get him dressed and take him to the doctor and say nothing of my concerns of appendixitis. And about 10 minutes later the doctor says he wants a full walk up, because he suspects appendicitis. So we spent three hours there, but they did give him a shot in the ass for the puking. That was funny, well kinda. Doc says this may make him drawsy, and sure as shit, he was gone about five minutes later.

He was gone the rest of the day, in and out of it, but no appendicitis, and he woke up Thursday morning, just right as the rain.

Thanksgiving day: Scott had to work from 7am to 11am, so when he got home we headed out to his moms house for dinner. The boys were going to spend the night with Barb, as we did not have a babysitter for Friday. So we have dinner, which was good, and then Trenton and Nathan decided they wanted to go to the park, so Barb and Tom took them and we left.

Scott went to sleep and I played EQ. Dinged Krys level 54, got bored and went to bed at 9. (that was so early, ha ha )

Friday: Got my stinking ass up at 4:30am and did some shopping. weeee that was fun. But Friday was pretty much uneventful.

Saturday: Backstory: My mom and dad fo to Harrahs casino quite often and have those little cards that you put in the machines. Well Harrahs had a major fupah and sent out coupons redeemable for cash for $525 which the gaming commision decided they had to honor, and seeing I saved those from the trash (as mom had thrown them away) Mom and Dad each had one, so they took Scott and I to harrahs, bought us dinner, and gave us each a $100 to gamble with.

Okay, back to saturday. Barb and Tom were going to take the kids overnight again, so Scott and I could go on this little adventure. As I am driving out there, through god's country. The car starts pulling to the left. Hmmm. Theres no pull on this road, (its just me and the boys as Scott is working) and I am driving wondering why the car is pulling, and then it hits me, OMG the tire is going....and then it starts, thump thump thump thump....fucking flat. Thankfully, some gentlemen pulled over and helped me change the flat on my tires that are only two fucking months old. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Okay, leave that, we get to Harrahs, have a good dinner. OMG, this buffet rocked. They had just about anything you could think of to eat. And then we went gambling, I lost $60, and ran into Scott just as we were about to meet up at our designated spot and time, and told him, and asked him how he did. He said he only put in $20, as he spent 45 minutes talking to some guy at the carribean tables. So I was like oh well too bad. Fucker won $400. It was great.

Sunday: Scott called in sick with anal glaucoma (my eyes cant see my ass coming to work today, haha) and we went grocery shopping. Spent almost $300 yesterday on groceries. Got our Christmas ham, I got all my baking stuffs, two movies, Madagascar and War of the Worlds, both very good, and then ate out, and put up the Tree.

All in all it has been a great few day. Only a few little bumps in the way =)

Monday, November 21, 2005

Whats happening hot stuff?

Do you know what movie that is from?? And the answer to that question is not a damned thing. Nothing exciting at all.

Trenton had a sleepover birthday party on Friday, and the Scott took the boys to his mom's on Sunday and I have the whole day to myself until 5pm. It was rather nice. Nice, quiet, relaxing. I played EQ2 the whole day. lol.

Had a funky ass dream this morning. In it I had gotten a nipple ring. I have no idea what the hell I was thinking. Oh yeah, that I wanted to pretty my body, becuase apparently, I was nice and thin. So, yeah, and I could have sworn Scott was with me and he said okay. But then I decided to show it to him and he freaked out and said take that thing out. and then the next thing I remember is I am sitting in my moms house (but its actually my house layout) and I am talking to Korash and Solis (dont know why there were there as one lives on one coast the other on the other coast) And I am about to tell them the nipple ring story and my mom walks up and I shut up, and then she tells me I need to pay her for tampons that I had gotten for her. So I got up and gave her a $20 check.

Friggin weird man. Just weird.

EQUdate: Zymeria is now a level 60 provisioner. Happened Thursday night. And that is all to report on that as well. lol.

Thursday, November 17, 2005

That was nice

/sarcasm off.

My cat has taken to sleeping by my head. The female bitchy one. And the dog, just absolutely has to wake me up to take her outside, even though Scott is sitting in the living room. So I hollar from the bed, Get the dog, and as Scott comes walking into the bedroom, he somehow, scared the shit out of the cat. Hence she freaked out, and jumped. Unforunately she used the back of my head as a leaping pad, and now I have these huge like 3 inch long scratches on the back of my head. Tears, I was crying like niagara falls. It hurt. Hell it still hurts.

And that was my morning. Good day, ya think?

Wednesday, November 16, 2005

Its Snowing

Its snowing outside. Trenton thought that was the shit. He was all excited. I want to build a snowman, he tells me. LOL. There just isnt enough snow yet. Its snowing but its not sticking. And OMG its freaking cold out there.

This weekend was definately a test on my nerves. I have loris little one (I may have mentioned that) and he is a handful. So needless to say, I honestly dont think I am gonna be doing that again. NO NO NO.

Nathan also spent the whole weekend sicker than a dog, poor little guy. And of course I got it, figures. Trenton seems to be doing fine in that respect. Thank goodness.

Lets see what else? Trenton has gone to sleep in his own bed, for two days in a row now. Weeeeeeee. YEAH!!! We are gonna have a little party. Very very cool. So very very cool. LOL. This truely excites me.

Well I called the mortgage company and got the process started on an Equity Line of Credit. I am hoping we get it, pay off all the credit cards, and then live life without having to worry about money so damned much. Payments will be $83 a month, if the account is at its limit. Considering you only pay the interest. Anything above and beyond that, gets put to the principal period. So I am hoping that this works and goes through. Keep your fingers crossed.

EQUdate: Not much going on in EQland. I need to update this site with all my characters, so that the progress can be watched if wanted. I am just so ready to get Zymeria to level 60 provisioner. Yee Haw!!!

Tuesday, November 15, 2005

Hey hey

Will you look at that? I have lost 5 pounds total. Yippee!!

EQupdate: I forgot this this morning, Zymeria is a 57 provisioner now, and I have a feeling she will be 60 by Saturday at the latest.

Ramble

Where to even begin. Its been a long weekend and such. Lets see.

Friday. Come to find out I am not covered by Scotts insurance, because Wal-mart is being stupid. And open enrollment for my work is not until January, so I guess I am screwed big time on this one. And of course, I am sicker than a dog right now, and I dont want to be here. But alas I was not here yesterday, because Nathan was sicker than a dog, starting Saturday, but hes fine now.

Friday night we also had a guest. Lori's little one, Damien, stayed the night with us. I will never ever ever complain about having the boys to myself ever again. OMG, the three of them, I dont want to say anything to lori, but she really needs to rethink her parenting role. Seriously, rethink her role.

Okay finding it very difficult to think right now, its sucks, I will be back with more I am sure, as soon as my brain begins to think.

Thursday, November 10, 2005

I am bored

To tears. We have slowed down so much here at work, that its been hell. I just realized that I eat when I am bored. Imagine that. I am sitting here, wanting to get some food, but alas, I am not gonna do that.

The boys room is finally all set up. The beds look awesome, the room just looks awesome. Trenton still doesnt want to sleep on his own, the little stinker. And I am at my wits end on how to deal with him in this situation. He really needs to get out of my bed and into his own.

Other than that, there really hasnt been anything exciting going on. Our house payment went down $7 a month. Oh, one thing though, next Thursday, Scott goes and takes the test for Chrysler. I so hope he gets in there. /prays

EQUpdate: I havent felt like playing Krys or my little conjurer, who is now level 19. So I have been grinding out Zym's Provie levels. Shes level 53 now, and they totally reset vitality this morning, so I am hoping I can grind it out and be 60 in the next two weeks. That would rock.

Friday, November 04, 2005

3 down

Well I thought I would weigh myself today. Although I had a really bad spurlge day yesterday. 3 pounds lost. Yeah!!!!!

That is all. =)

Thursday, November 03, 2005

Trick or Treat

Well, trick or treating went really well the other night. Nathan decided that he didnt want to wear his costume, but he was very good at saying thank you to everyone. That and he had to kiss every stinking dog that we saw. It was cute, but rather annoying at the same time. Trenton was Robin and he was very good, although he was the one to tire out and want to go home. LOL.

We have been doing lots of shopping, or window shopping, for mattresses and such, and I think that we have it figured out. The boys room is gonna be blue and yellow to go with the border that we found. We are gonna do the same thing to their room that we did in the living room (if you look at the boys pictures, you will see that we have the border acting as a chair rail). So the top is gonna be yellow, the bottom is gonna be blue, and then the bookshelves that are on the wall are gonna be painted blue, becuase the top is yellow. And then I am still looking for bedspreads. Would be really cool if I could find a blue/yellow plaid. And then the wallpaper border is this: http://www.wallpaperstore.com/scripts/Detail.idc?ProductID=386950&LogID=5222562&Page=1

Hmmm, anything else. I believe I have been doing really well with my eating, or eating no so much. Got to thinking, even if it takes me two years to do this, that is fine, becuase then that is much more likely to stay off. Will be really nice. One thing I have noticed, is that I am waking up hungry. So I must be doing something correctly. Takes time to shrink a stomach, lol.

EQUpdate: I dont think I have logged into Krys in so long. We have been screwing off with our conjuror/warlock duo. We did get a master chest the other night. A level 11 enchanter spell. I was really really really hoping for a master pet. But hell that didnt work =( Oh well, maybe next time.

Monday, October 31, 2005

Happy Halloween!!

Well, I am up here in the front of the dealership, covering the damn phones. I really hate the phones, as this computer moves really really slow, so for me to get my work done is horrendous. And the space bar does not want to work consistantly. So that is rather annoying.

Well not too longer and we can go trick or treating, or tick r teetin at Nathan says. Trenton is being Robin, and Nathan is going as a lion, RAWR. It will be so much fun. Will have mom and dad get the digital camara out and take lots of pictures. Thankfully, as of right now, the weather is being cooperative. I hope it continues that way.

I kinda gave up on the smoking thing. This was a really bad weekend, although I did switch brands so that its cheaper. Once Scott gets the job at the post office I am gonna have to do something like hyponotizism, to see if that works. Because me and my no will power are not working on this at all. Although I have not had any candy, even though it is floating around here like crazy.

I have been doing one thing, to sorta try to improve self image. As of right now, the only time I have been getting dressed up, or even wearing make up for that matter, so as of late I have been putting in earrings. So I am gonna make up a make up bag, and put that in my purse so I can start doing my makeup in the morning, here at work, because I never seem to have the time at home, and then the boys bother me and that sucks. Been wearing my hair down or in a barrett so thats not too bad. Maybe I could stick a curling iron in there, and do that as well. I seem to get here at about 7:05 and I am not supposed to start work until 7:30, so maybe I can use that time to my advantage.

Nothing much exciting happened this weekend. So nothing to report there.

EQUpdate: They changed the amount of experience you get from crafting, so this weekend, I got Zym from level 44 provisioner to level 49 provisioner. Go Go Crafting. =)

Friday, October 28, 2005

How weird.

The boys bedroom set is in. Interesting. Actually thats very cool. Now we can get moving on the boys room. I just called Scott and he is gonna call his mother, and then I need to get a hold of Brendon (Scotts brother) to get this going for the 5th.

YAY!

EQUpdate: I did forget this. I logged in Zymeria yesterday to get her set up to do on the fly provisioning. And I had enough XP to ding 44, I had to do one more combine. Now I know I did not leave her like that. If I were that close, I dont care how tired I was, I would have dinged her. Its just weird. Free XP, no bitching here. Just weird.

Do you pat?

I do. And apparently, I do it a lot. As was pointed out by my father, and then when asking my husband, he was in agreement. So, I watch myself. Trenton is sitting in my lap, I give him a kiss, and I pat his leg. Hmmmm. Go to give Nathan a good bye kiss. Pick him up, kiss him, pat his butt. Hmmmm. So I go and ask Scott. "Hey hun" "yes sweetie" he says, "Do I pat a lot?" He goes, "What do you think you did when you said hey hun?" Oh dear. So there ya go, annoying habit number 1.

We went window shopping last night. Getting some ideas for the boy's room. They get their bunkbeds on the 12th of Nov. Kinda interested in seeing how they react.

Anything else? Ummm, no. Not at the moment.

EQUpdate: Having fun on my little conjurer. She's level 14 now, yup yup. She is fun to play. But scott needs to get his butt in gear and make me some bags, yes he does. I have zero room on my character, I kill three things and then boom, out of room. It sucks.

Thursday, October 27, 2005

Can it be any longer??

Okay, I am missing the days of being completely bombarded with work, and not knowing where to turn. I am BORED!!! Do you here me?? BORED!! I cant take it anymore.

And thats about it. Sorry to disappoint today.

EQUpdate: I did end up buying Krys a horse. Only the 24% increase one, but it cost status points instead of plat, and I could do that. Weeee. No more sow potions.

Wednesday, October 26, 2005

Horse pictures

Here is Trenton going around the arena with Lori.


Here he is all by himself. Such the big boy!


Nathan really really loved the horses.


Hes being goofy, you just cant tell.


I had to take that poor little dog away from Nathan. He terrorized the thing.


And here they are together on the horse. Those two just had way too much fun doing that.

Pictures


This is Trenton all excited about his first day at school. Can we go now, huh huh huh?????

This is Trenton getting on the bus. Hehe. Isnt he sooo cute??



Heres the two cuties. Arent they the most precious things you have ever seen?? =)

Whew

Hmmm, my options for fonts has disappeared and I am thinking this is gonna be really tiny.

Anyways Trentons polyp is pretty much gone, we just have to do an additional week of medication. So that is good. YAY!!!

Other than that, not much to add right now, other than the fact that I am bored, and all I have left to do is file. Disgusting.


Yeah I found my font options. Okay, so anyways. Yeah, I did real well, yesterday for lunch I had soup and salad, okay, ramen soup, but hey. And then dinner was a disaster, yummy, fajitas. But so far today, my bowl of cereal, and i have no clue about lunch, as I didnt bring any. Bleh, but we are having roast for dinner at mom and dads, nummy.

Okay I guess I should go back to work.

EQUpdate: Got my little conjurer to 13. (She was apparently level 12 yesterday whoops) and um, yeah thats it. =p

Yucki

Well I weighed myself (230) and I have determined that I need to lose approximately 60-70 pounds, so that is my goal. Hopefully we can reach it. I have measurements, that would probably be more effective, maybe I can do both and track that way, hahahaha. Bust (44) Waist (41) and Hips (44). And I am 5' 9 1/2" tall.

Okay that totally sucked to admit. I am going home now. =(

Excuse me

Okay so my boss yesterday. See he is/has been giving me shit about my excessive absences. Let's see, my grandmother passed away in April, my uncle passed away in July and my son spent 2 nights in the hospital in June. He things that I should have not taken any time off for those incidents, because you know, they died, and there was nothing I could do anyways, so why not come to work, because we all know that work is our number one priority in life.

So anyways, we had a young guy get in horrendous car accident. Apparently he had to have brain surgery, he broke every bone in his face. They guys dad shows up here and lets peter know, and hes all like, ohh he will be okay to us, as the dad is standing there. Zero compassion. So Lori questions him on that. And he was like, "what was supposed to do? Take the day off?" First of all that was not appropriate to say, second show some fucking compassion.

So then later in the day, as Ali is walking around with the card getting signatures and collecting money, I sign the card and peter walks over, so Ali asks him to sign the card, and if he wants to give a donation he can. He gives her shit about the card she picked out, and then he moans and gripes about giving up the money, I mean really moans and groans, to the point of why the hell are you even bothering. The man has no fucking clue.

He just drives me insane, but that's okay, I am just biding my time, till my life gets all figured out.

On the other front, I need to lose weight and get moving. I am so tired as of late, and I know it has to do with, not eating right, not moving (being lazy) and all the such. And as we all know as well, I have not a bone of will power in my body, and that I need help, so I am enlisting Scotts help with this and we shall see what happens with that.

Same with the smoking. I need to quit that as well, just cant fucking afford it anymore. Maybe I should involve something with this blog on both those ideas. Like a update everyday on what I eat, when I smoke, or something. Or maybe even pop on and say I NEED NICOTINE. And with food, its not sweets that the problem, I hardly eat those, its the chicken, potatoes, and biscuits, absolutely smothered with gravy, a veritable heart attack waiting to happen.

And that's the other thing, with my family history I really should be more careful, I mean every one in my family, save two people, have died from heart problems. Not very good.

Wow, I am definitely long winded today. Any ideas on the above situations? Any?

The kids are normal. Trentons appointment is tomorrow, but I believe he will be alright, as he has absolutey no drainage coming from ear, and the pain has all gone away. YAY.

EQUpate: I actually played a little character last night. Shes a level 13 conjurer. Shes on the good side and I put her in the guild and then did a city writ and I will darned if that didn't earn guild status, I was quite surprised. All in all that's a good thing, as we have quite a few peeps on the good side. Friends from EQlive, that still play a lot of EQ and EQ2 is just a side hobby.

What a morning!

Actually it's not that bad. We had a blast Friday night, although I did not get home until 2am. I was a little drunker than I wanted to be, although I ran out of money and then a couple of sales managers showed up and they bought for lori and I all night long. The first band was good, the second band was good, the third band sucked ass, and then Bret Michaels was allright. He did some old Poison stuff, and that was about it. I left about 3 songs into his set.

The boys were kind to me on Saturday, and we all ended up taking a three hour nap. That was very kind of them.

So we spent all day Saturday being lazy and pathetic.

Sunday was pretty much the same, although Trenton developed an attitude to beat the band with. Grrrr. I was so frustrated with him, it was unreal. But he straightened up by the night time and then we went grocery shopping and spent way too much money.

Okay, my boss is an ass. The end.

EQUpdate: Dinged 53, yay. Didnt play much though.

Must run, maybe more later.

Its too early!

When I went to go wake Nathan up this morning, he turned and looked at me and said "Night Night" and for the next 10 mintues he screamed night night over and over and over and over and over......................

Well, you know what the problem was??? You really wanna know??? Every fricking 15 minutes last night he would crawl out of bed and come see me. You wanna know why???? Sure you do. He would bring me a fricking boogar. Here ya go mama. Thank you Nathan. Your welcome mama. Ewwwwwwww!!!!!!

Right now, I am in the process of waiting for the ENT doctor to call me back with the results of Trentons culture. I wish they would hurry up, I left a message about an hour ago.

The interview. You are not gonna believe this shit. Scott was supposed to have 3 interviews today, but the post office here in Rockford went on a hiring freeze for a couple of weeks, and hopefully she will be calling when the freeze is off, as we have a feeling that he has the job.

The doctor has called back. Trenton has a very serious ear infection, which has caused the polyp. Take the ear drops he is on and come back. We go back on Wednesday. If the polyp is not gone, we get to do IV antibotics. If that doesnt work, then its surgery. Not feeling too good about this right now.

EQUpdate: Krys did not ding 53 last night. Instead she was having way too much fun running through the haunted house, trick or treating and gathering pumpkins for her apartment. I actually lost track of time last night and realized it when I looked at the clock and it said 11pm. Yikes.

Again, no title ideas.

So, I finally get off the phone with my previous insurance carrier. Oh that might go out by the end of October. Dude. I have the hospital breathing down my neck, as Nathan spent the night back in June. Hello. Pay your fucking bills. I did not pay you $5200 a year plus your fucked up deductible/co-pay system, so you cost me approximatley, ohhhh, $8000 this year, for you to dick around with a $4000 bill, because you think its too high. Bite me.

Next: Scott has his second interview at the post office tomorrow. Please please please keep your fingers crossed. This could be one of the best things that has happened to us in a long long time. As we are desperately losing the battle with money.

Third: (I think, I just like the labeling, call it the analness in me) I am supposed to be quitting smoking (see how money is winning the fight). Wellllllll Its not working as well I think it should be. Gum, lots of gum, but then my jaw begins to hurt. And, of course, my obsessive need to blow bubbles all day long, is really starting to piss off my co-workers.

Fourth: (weeeeeeeee) I am going out on Friday night with Lori. Not gonna stay out long as Scott has to work Saturday and Sunday. But we got free tickets to go to Elixar to see Bret Michaels of Poison. Ohhhh Ahhhh. Whatever. We dont have to pay the cover charge, I will have a beer or two and be home by 10:30, or leave the bar by 10:30. No later. I have to get up in the morning. No way am I hanging out with my two lovely children, with a hangover. Not happening in this lifetime.

Lets see anything else exciting going on.....

Poop: Nathan hasnt had a poopy in three days, has me extremely concerned. I think I may get some prune juice and see what happens. I feel bad for the poor kid, as I know that has got to hurt the little belly, not to be able to go poopy. =(

The PeePee: Actually is back to normal. Alhtough Nathan will tell me, owie pee pee, I just kind of look at him, like you aint gettin anymore sympathy child.

EQUpdate: Krys is 52, about to ding 53. Only 9% away, but I had alot of XP debt, so I havent played her in a couple of days. So I am hoping to get on tonight and get her, her level. Yeeehawwwww. Got my call of ro, been playing too much gigglegibbler goblin gambling game. (HA, say that three times really fast while drunk =p) and other than that. Same ole, same ole. Kill, rinse, repeat. Actually finally have over 4pp to my name. I want a horse, then I will start working on spells and armor. As long as it takes me to level, I should be able to pull out an adept III every level, lol.

I have no title ideas

Well, lets see. Trenton developed an ear infection last week. Took him to the doctor and the doctor said (hmm, sounds like a song I know) Well its so swollen in there, I cant tell if he still has he tube in or if it finally fell out. Well here is some antibotics to help. So we take said antibotics, (doctor appt was Tuesday) By Friday its still not any better. So I make another appt. The infection, is still there, and then the doc says, make an appt with your Ear, Nose, Throat guy and see whats going on. So the appt is for monday.

On Sunday, Trenton also lost a filling in his tooth. Dear god, this poor child. And Nathan has taken to coughing. Okay, not good. So that leads us to a very very busy Monday.

10:00: Nathan to pediatrician, to find out he is starting to develop an ear infection. Get medicine.

11:30: Trenton to dentist to get filling replaced. Scott took him, but I met them there to give Scott the prescription, so I didnt have to run out to BFE and I could get back to work. While there, I noticed Trenton's ear bleeding. Egads!!!

12:00: On the phone to the ear, nose, throat doctors nurse. She says, its not an emergency, we should be concerned but its nothing to truley fret about (my ass)

12:30: Trenton back from the dentist. Cant eat for an hour. All he does is bitch about how starving he is. Another, my ass.

2:00: Head to ENT guy to see whats going on.

2:30: Finally see ENT guy. He says he cant tell if the tube is still in there, as there is a polyp in the way. Nice, I say. So he takes a culture, and then I have to call back tomorrow to find out the results of said culture. And I hope its not bad, and then of course we get another prescription.

Now we have Scotts wonderous insurance, which is saving us $200 a month in premiums, but, we have to pay in full for prescriptions, which will go against his deductible. So we spent our savings of premiums on prescription. Oh well.

Will be back with more, when I get off the stinking phone with my previous insurance carrier, about why they havent paid a $4000 hospital bill for when Nathan spent the night. Egads!!!!!!!

Bus vs Backhoe

And unforunately the backhoe won on that one. Trenton's bus was in an accident yesterday. You wanna talk about your heart hitting the floor. OMG. He's fine, everyone is fine. Just fucking freaked me out when the nurse called and was like, Trentons bus got in an accident. My heart fell, and I dont think I heard anything else after that. Ack!!! No more accidents allowed in my household.

Nathan on the other hand, is just peachy king. Although we went poopy about 12 times on the potty last night, (not diareah (sp?) He just couldnt figure out if he was done yet or not. But it got to the point, becuase I would get all excited for him, that he would get all excited for him. SO he says "poop poppy coo" Do you need that translated? kk "going poop in the potty is cool" yup yup thank god. /does the no more diapers dance.

Pumpkins and Owies

Well, lets see. Saturday morning we ran out to the pumpkin patch. Had a good time, we were there for about 2 1/2 hours. Going through everything, had fun in the store, ate lunch. Then we decided to head over to the Apple Orchard. OMG were they packed, but we saw a Raspberry picking sign on the way. So we changed our minds, and went picking. Which was rather interesting in itself. Trenton decided he didnt like raspberries. HA!! After about 20 minutes, it was one raspberry to eat, two in the basket. hehehe. They had red faces, and red fingers.

All was going well the rest of the day. About 8, Nathan came running in and said "Poppy" and I was like allright lets go then. So I get up and he says "Down Mama." So I sit down. Worst mistake I ever made. Within a minute there was a blood curdling scream and I ran in there. Nathan is holding his little pee pee and shaking horribly. The toilet lid had fallen on his pee pee and smashed it terribly. It was all black and he screamed and screamed for about 30 minutes. We went to the ER and seen his doc. All in all he is gonna be just fine. But OMG, I was literally sick to the stomach to watch him in that much pain. So now, if he is running around the house naked, he will come up to you and grab himself and say "hut pee pee" Yes, Nathan, you hurt your pee pee. Silly boy.

Scott started on days yesterday. Quite the readjustment for all of us. Trenton is having a hard time with it. I keep telling him go to bed, hes yawning and being cranky and he says I am not tired. Grrrrrrr. Yes you are. But we are all having a little difficulty adjusting to that.

EQUpdate: Well I am 51 and I dont think I have played that much in the past couple of days. Although, I am finally ally with the Court of Truth. So, yeah, think thats about it.

Big Boy!

Well, Nathan has been sleeping in Trentons bed, getting real close to having the crib go bye bye. Which makes me sad. No more diapers, no more crib, bleh. He's the baby, he must not grow up. But I guess its gonna happen, wether I want it to or not.

Scott starts on days next Monday. Definately this time. Yeah. And he has his interview at the Post Office tomorrow. Double yeah.

Had Trenton's parent teacher conference Monday. Turns out he is the social butterfly with a permanent smile pasted on his face. And just not any smile, a very contagious smile, so says the teacher. Cracks me up. Trenton will glue himself to me if we go anywhere. But to hear this makes me all happy.

EQLand. Hah! I havent done much of anything. But I did get to visit the arena, and OMG that was fun, lol. A total blast. But I still have yet to do a duel. I keep challenging Scott, but he says Hell No, you will one shot me. HA!!!! I probably would. =)

Bugs!

You will never believe what the Mr. Trenton brought home from school. Ready? Lice. Fucking lice. So, the dog and cats have been bathed, twice. All the laundry in the house has been done. And I mean ALL. The kids, well, Trentons hair was just shortened. Nathan, whose beautiful white/blond locks, had to be cut off. /cry /sniff. But everyone is clean now, and Scott spent over 3 hours working on my hair. Nasty.

Nathan is really starting to talk alot now. Thank god. Its nice to be able to actually have a conversation with him. Although his favorite words, are K and Yea. So, he will come up and say, "Mama, poppy" and I say "well then go potty Nathan" and he says "K!" Or I will ask, "Nathan, you want something to drink?" To which he will respond, "Yea." But think of the movie Fargo. To which I like to say, "Are you vom Svewden?" And he says "Yea" Cracks me up.

EQUpdate: Dinged 51 on Krys, she is also about 40% through it now. Quests are still giving awesome ass items as rewards. But the Xp from them kinda sucks, and so does the fact that I dont have any vitality. Ever. I finally got my faction oup with the court of truth, So I can get in there now. Very nice little place. Hell I may think about moving to Maj'dul. If the lag didnt kill me. Spent a ton of time exploring this weekend. Filled in the map from the Pillars of Flame. Been fun. Saw someone with a Hunter of Harpy title, and I soooo thinking that I want one of those, and there are plenty of them in PoF. Although I still have a couple of zones to explore off of Sinking Sands. Hmmmm. Having a good time, having a good time.

Interviews

Scott has an interview at the post office on 9-29-05. YEAH!!!! Its only part-time, but thats awesome, get a foot in the door. And its down in Dixon, about 45min - hour away. Buts its an oppurtunity. And if he gets full time down in Dixon, then I guess we get to move. Which will be allright. Its not too far away.

Nathan had a bad potty weekend. But I think we are back on track. Hes such a cutie. I was reading a book last night, Nathan came crawling in my lap and he says "Book." So I tell him, nope I cant read you this book, its a scary book. So the rest of the night I hear "Scare book" and he points at my book. He was too cute. Such a sweetie.

Trenton is being Trenton. He is getting himself an attitude though. I have no idea if that has to be from school or just him learning about the independence he is getting, but boy oh boy, we are about to go round and round about his new found brattiness.

EQLand: OMG I am having so much fun. Krys is about 70% through 51, got Zym up to 43 provisioner. Almost have Krys to ally with The Court of Truth in Majdul. I am having soooooo much fun. ITs great. And I have been fighting mostly blues, and I dont care. The quests are unreal, reward wise. XP from them are not that great, but the rewards have been very good. Hell, the only places I have been so far are Sinking Sands and Maj'Dul. And I am not bored of them yet. Although I am about to get a little pissy with these mummies. I need lesser mummies, not crypt mummies, not shrivled mummies, not mummies, but lesser mummies, bah. And then of course, Desert Madman, which drop what as loot? But, Water Flasks, of course. hehehehe. It cracks me up. Been lots and lots of fun so far, its great. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poopy!

Haha, that reminds me of gucomics. lol. Poopy!!!

Nathan went poopy in the potty. And he went all night in underwear, no mistakes. YEAH!!! I think we are done with diapers. /dance /dance /joy

=)

EQupdate: Servers were locked, so tomorrow I will have lots to share.

Wrong Week

Scott looked at the schedule wrong. He didnt start days this weekend, but next weekend. =( Thats okay, because he is on days. Gonna make life so much easier. I miss my husband. I miss him next to me in bed, cuddling up to go to sleep. I feel like we have been apart. And my subconscience feels the same way. I dreamt this morning, that Scott had been called by the military (he was relived of service about 2 years ago) and that he had to leave for a year. Guess that goes to show exactly how I have been feeling as of late.

Nathan. He has been in underwear since Friday =) YEAH!!!! Considering Trenton was 3 1/2 before he finally potty trained, and Nathan is only 2 yrs, 4 months. Weeeeeeeee. I am so excited. Hell on Saturday, (still putting him to bed in a diaper, though) I went in to check on him and he had taken his diaper off. I thought, OMG, he is gonna wake up in the middle of the night in a soaked bed, becuase he is not used to waking up to go pee. Well I will be a son of a bitch, he woke me up at 1am screaming "Poppy!!! Poppy!!!" I got up, took him to the potty, and then put him back in bed, and back to sleep he went. It was awesome.

Trenton has been Trenton. Nothing much to report on him, although, he is developing an attitude. I think that can attributed to part of kindergarten. Also, attributed to kindergarten, is that he seems more outgoing. Which is nice. I hated the clingy child. Hated hated hated, clingy child syndrome. =)

EQLand: Been bored, anxiously waiting DoF to get here, Tomorrow. Finished up a few heritage quests. I hate camping names. So that has been my downfall. No patience in that. Oh well.

No solicitation!!

On my blog, my phone or in my mail. Thank you!!

This is for the deleted comment, a solicitation for something, I didnt even finish reading it. Solicitation is bullshit, thank you.

Tuesday, September 06, 2005

Yeee Hawww!!!!!!!!!!

Scott is going on days!!!!!!!!! Scott is going on days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott is going on days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott is going on days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott is going on days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott is going on days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scott is going on days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott is going on days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not that I am excited at all. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoops, been awhile.

Well, I have been busy. This weekend for one, was very busy. Scott had to work all weekend, so the boys are I went running around.

Saturday, we headed out to Scott's moms house, they were having a corn festival out there. Was pretty fun. The boys ate lots of corn on the cob, played in the jungle gyms. Played in the sandbox, what a mess, and we went for two hayrides. They loved the hayrides. Got to be about 8pm so I told Barb, that we should head back to her house and give them a bath, as the 1/2 hour ride back home would most definately ensure sleepland. So we get there, take a bath, and then Tom comes home (Barbs boyfriend) and mentioned something about fishing. OMG!! Trenton then asked if he could spend the night, so of course they let him, and me and Nathan headed home. Nathan finished his snack in the car and was asleep about 10 minutes before we hit the house. Ahhhh peace and quiet.

Sunday, well, Scott was gonna take Trenton to the waterfront on Monday morning, well, good news for Trenton we were watching the news and realized that Sunday was the last day for the waterfront. So I had to find someone to watch Nathan, as I will not deal with him in that type of atmosphere. Well I called my parents house like three times and no one answered, so finally I called my dad's cellphone (haha, he didnt want one, now I am gonna bug him on it =p) and will you believe the nerve they had. LOL, they were in Joliet, at Harrah's, gambling. Well guess that went out the window. One other person I could think of and well here goes. You will not believe who watched Nathan (Kimmie, this one is for you) Brenden and Sarah. Yes, Kim, pick your jaw up off the floor. Of all the things, and damn, if Nathan and Elizabeth did not actually play together. Their house was a mess, but I was just so shocked that they watched him, it rocked.

So, Trenton and I headed to the waterfront. Rode all the rides, Okay, not all, I HATE the ferris wheel. And then we had some snacks. Trenton had a dragon painted on his face, and he played a couple of games, and then whined when it was time to go home. I dont blame him, I told him if we had more money, we could have stayed till it was dark out. He had a sad face and said that we really needed to win the lottery so we could stay at the fair, and also to go to Austrailia to see Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter). Gotta love my kid.

Scott got home Sunday night and said they had rearranged his schedule and that he had Monday off, and Thursday off. Cool. Although, I had to go to my aunts on Monday, to finish going through my grandmothers stuff. So we spent a better part of the day there. I got some pictures of my dad while he was in high school and pictures of my grandmother, and grandpa. They are so neat, considering they were taken in the 40's.

That was the extent of my weekend. Come back to work and am told I need to help Carol and Lori out, nice. Peter, I cant even keep up on my work anymore, especially considering all the time I spend working on their stuff. Thats okay he says, that I am allowed to have overtime if needed. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 hours a week is $100. Which would rock so thats my goal for now.

EQ Update: Krys is bored. Come on Sept 12 and the new expansion. =)

Why is it so difficult?

Why is something so hard to do? It really is not that difficult. Hello??? Do it as you are doing the deal. What? Its takes an extra minute. Oh good heavens. It will mess you up? Dear lord, you really do have a hard time with something that deviates from normal. Sometimes I wonder why you still work here. I mean I understand, you are always here, and on time and you do work constantly, but I could do four times the amount of work you do in the same time period. And not bitch about a sudden change in the circuit, or about how tough it is to do that. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. And by the way, if you would just listen to me for 2 minutes, instead of shouting how hard something it, I could make your life that much easier.

On the good news front. Scott has to have all his insurance paperwork turned into wally word by the 8th of August. He says he turned it in about a week prior to that. Well, apparently, the HR lady needed him to sign a couple more papers and then he was good to go. So instead of calling him or walking to his department, she tacked up a note at the time clock. There are two time clocks at wally world. Can you guess which one it ended up on? Yep. The one he doesnt use. So then he calls her about mid month, so he can find out when his insurance is gonna kick in so that I can cancel mine. She tells him that he didnt get it. What?!?!? So I tell him that he needs to go talk to the store manager or something and get this straightened out.

So last night we are sitting at home having dinner. (Scott had the night off, YEAH) and the phone rings. Caller ID says wally world and I really dont want to answer it, but I do. Scott gets off the phone says his insurance is gonna go through. Well it turns out Scott did talk to the store manager and asked for a monthly check of $150, which is the difference of his insurance and mine. It appears that was all it took to get the ball rolling in our favor.

Happy Anniversary!!

Happy Anniversary to my mom and dad, as they celebrate 32 years together. Can you believe that? 32 years. They got married at the ages of 18 (dad) and 16 (mom) and they had known each other all of 8 months when they got married. And still going strong. I called my mom this morning and dad had sent her flowers. He is just really really good at that, I think she gets flowers about 6 times a year, for the hell of it and then of course valentines, birthday and anniversary.

EQland: I am not grinding out Zymeria to level 50 provisioner before the expansion. Holy crap. Tradeskilling without vitality is hell, especially with just refines. I am thinking if I had finished products I could do it no problem, but these refines are killing me. So I will do just what my head tells me and then I will quit, lol. So if I have vitality, great, if not and I still feel like it, I will, but I am not gonna force myself to do it, like I was thinking.

Drip Drip

Last night, my sink began to leak. And I dont mean just a little, I mean, I went through 3 towels to clean it up and its still leaking. Scott took a look at it this morning and said its the faucet and the sprayer nozzle. So guess what we are replacing today? Yuppers. What fun excitement. I would love to just totally redo my kitchen, but looks like I am doing it one piece at a time.

There is really nothing much to report. I am so tired, that even if there was, I would probably forget about it, in my attempt not to fall asleep. Its all because I decide that I need to stay up late playing EQ and then I cant get my butt out of bed the next morning. And its not like I am doing anything exciting. Okay at lvl 50, you get no experience, I can incur debt, but I dont get any experience. So Modex (Scotts brother) and I ran around last night, killing crap and trying new things and incurring some debt. He and I are both lvl 50 now, just basically wanting to finish up some heritage quests and waiting for the expansion. I think I may be calling in sick on Sept 12. Hmmmmm.

Sleep baby. Sleep.

Well, this week has been rough on my dear little Trenton. Now for the past two weeks I have been trying to get him into a routine for school. Going to bed early, get up early, yada yada yada. Well, it didn't work. Normally (well until school started) he would go to sleep anywhere between 10 and 11 at night. Drove me bonkers.

All this week, Trenton has barely made it past 9. I knew he was very tired yesterday when I picked him up from the sitters. He was whiney, cranky, and just plain mean. So he sat on the couch while I made dinner. Every few minutes I made sure to tickle him, try to keep him awake. I basically just wanted him to eat dinner and make it to 7. Well, he fell asleep at 6, and I could. not. wake. him. up. It just wouldn't work, so screw it. Let him get an hour and then wake him up. No go. That little boy slept from 6 until midnight. Got up, had a bowl of cereal and then went back to sleep, till we woke him up at 6:45 this morning. That, my friends, is one tired little boy. But he was so chipper and happy and in a good mood this morning, it was great.

Nathan and I ended getting to spend the evening together, playing. We went outside and played baseball, played in my room. He likes to crawl under the covers, and tells you "shush" with the one finger over the mouth, its too cute, and then he will spring up and say boo. Or he will go and turn off the light and say night night, so you have to pretend to go to sleep, and then he will turn the light back on and say "Wake up!" and you are supposed to wake up like you just had the crap scared out of you, as that makes him giggle so much.

The one thing I get out of Trenton that I don't get out of Nathan is kisses. To get a kiss from Nathan is like taking candy from a baby. It just doesn't work. So last night, I figured I would start working on that. I love baby kisses. They are so cute and warm. Anyways, this morning I go to leave for work, so I give Trenton a kiss and Scott, of course, and Nathan all of the sudden puckers up his lips and I get a kiss from him. This would be like kiss number 5 from him in 2 1/2 years. lol. I just love kisses from my babies. /cuddles.

On a different note. I really would like to know where people can get off shortening your name without really knowing you, or having been introduced that way. My name is Angela, it is not Angie. You can call me Ange, but that is usually reserved for people who know me. (Not meaning to sound snobbish, hoping you catch my drift on that) What I really really really dispise is this. My phone rings. "Accounting, this is Angela" and they say "Hi Angie, I need blah blah blah" What in Gods green earth is up with that? Am I missing something? Do you know me? Did I introduce/answer my phone with Angie? No, I said Angela, now please that's my name call me that. Can you tell I dispise the name Angie? If you know why people do this, please enlighten me. The only person I do this to is Ms. Kim and hell I call here everything from Kimberly to Kimmie to Sissy. But shes my bestest friend in the whole wide world. =)

EQ Updates: I got Krys up to 50% through 49. I am so hoping to get her to 50 relatively quickly. Like by the end of the weekend. Fingers crossed but don't know if it will happen. She does has enough vitality, finally, to get all the way through 49, so I should be good. Other than that nothing much happening in EQLand. Just waiting for the expansion to come out. Will be sure to screenshot the beautiful moment of turning 50, and will post it on here. =)

As an addendum

I was reading more about the AD discussion and was linked to this: http://www.drudgereport.com/flash3tc.htm You know that really kinda pissed me off. Post Pardum Depression is not real. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Jackass.

Your PSA (public service announcement) for the day

Well as most of you know, I switched over to gmail. I am really thinking I am gonna like it. Alot. So please remember to email me there, and not at yahoo or hotmail.

Okay, I read a lot of blogs. Mostly parenting/trying to conceive/infertile blogs. And one brought up a point this morning on anti-depressants. The stigma that goes with anti-depressants and with depression. Now, I wanted to share, that I take an AD. Its interesting to hear some of the comments made on them. I do not take them for depression. I take them for PMDD. Here is a good site to check out: http://www.pmdd.factsforhealth.org/

These little pills have made an extreme difference in my life. I do not fly off the handle anymore. I dont cry at the drop of a hat. I am able to actually see the situation at hand before freaking out. My food cravings have stopped. I am still a little tired during PMS time, but no where near as bad as it was. It is really interesting to me to see the differences, and the fact that I can see the differences. I wouldnt trade in these little beauties for all the money in the world. (Well I might have to think about that)

Friends

So Trentons day went pretty good. I, of course, had to drag it out of him. Conversation something to this effect:

Me - How was school?
Trenton - Fine.
What did you do?
Nothing?
Ohhhkay. Did you read a story?
Yes.
What about?
Dont remember.
How was the bus ride?
Good.
Good? Was it fun?
Mom, Jacob was on the bus.
Jacob from preschool?
No, mom. Jacob from kindergarten. He sits right next to me.
Cool.
Can we have a sleepover?

Hahaha, a best friend on the first day of school. How cool is that? WAHHH!!!! Had to go outside after the phone call, as I was tearing up. Cant wait to get those pictures up so you can see how big he has gotten.

Bah, he had to grow up

Today is much harder than yesterday. I have already called Scott twice, called the babysitter once, and cant concentrate on my work. Today, Trenton went to school for his 3 hours and rode the bus. The sitter said that she would have him call me when he gets home so I can talk to him and see how his day went and how the bus ride was. I am just a ball of knots. So nervous. Nathan did throw a little bit of a fit when Trenton got on the bus, but that was only because he wanted to ride the bus as well.

Yesterday, after I picked up the kids, one of the neighbor boys came over and played with Trenton in the back yard. Nathan ended up helping me cook dinner. Now that is funny. He gets to put the seasoning on, and he will shake the bottle and go "POW!" everytime he shakes it. Sounds like a little Emeril. Which of course, reminds me.

A couple of nights ago, Nathan wanted to go to bed in Trenton's bed. Okay thats fine. Put him down. About 5 minutes later, out peeks this little boy from around the corner. Put him back. Again, 5 minutes later, he peeks around the corner. So, for a third time I put him back and tell him, one more time out of the bed and you are sleeping in your crib. Well about 10 minutes later, there is no hide nor hair of this child, so I go in back and get online. 5 minutes later....here come little feet, with his blankie, tippy cup, and bear. He walks up to me and says, "Lap." Ah what the hell. (By the way, I do tend to give in too easy, although my boys do listen to me) So I am sitting killing a few mobs here and there. Well my spells like to make a nice boom noise when they land, and kidding around I said to Nathan, "Boom. Bye-Bye" as a mob died. So the next mob, Nathan keeps going "Boom!" "Boom!" and then when he fell over, he waved at it and said "Bye-Bye!" and then looked at me and says "Nodder one." So we played EQ together for about 10 minutes, me laughing my butt off, and then I threw him in bed.

EQ Updates: Krys is still only about 20% through 49 right now. My goal is to have her to 50 by this weekend. If I can stay awake at night, I should be able to reach that. I am hoping, if not, should be no later than the end of the month, which will me about 2 weeks to work on other goals. Such as, finishing up some heritage quests, and also getting Zymeria to a lvl 50 Provisioner. She's level 40 right now, and theres no way to wait for vitality to go up, as that takes a full week to recharge, so I am gonna be grinding my way through these levels sans vitality. JOY!! I do know that we need to start working on guild levels some more, I think we are level 14, and max guild level is 30. And it is not going up with Desert of Flames, so I want to get to 30 before they decide to raise the guild levels. Gonna be interesting, to say the least.

Oh yeah

I have a camera that I have about 8 more pictures to take, and then get developed, but it has pictures of Trenton and Nathan on the horse. And then Trenton for his first day of school. Will definately be sharing. =)

Its School Time

First off, forgive me if I appear to lose my train of thought. I will typing this and trying to do the deposit for work at the same time. Lets see how this works, eh? =)

So bright and early this morning (haha 7am) I wake up Trenton and tell him we need to get moving. He, of course doesnt want to wake up. But I tell him its time for the first day of school. And he jumps out of bed so quick, he leaves a trail of smoke behind him. I could tell he was really excited as well, he only ate 4 bites of breakfast. He was running around the house, telling me that he was gonna ask everyone's name and play. As soon as he is done getting dressed he wants to leave. Well we had to wait about 10 more minutes, but we ended up giving in at around 5 minutes in. lol. He had his backpack on, he brushed his teeth and hair with no complaints, he just all around amazing.

So we get there. He walks into the classroom, and instantly clings to my leg. Grrrrr. Thats okay though. Class was only an hour long today, and she basically read them a story and told them what they would be doing through out the year. Parents got to hang around today. And tomorrow he gets to ride the bus to school. Now I am gonna cry.

Now what has me worried is Nathan. You see, if we pick Nathan up from the sitters and not Trenton, Nathan will have a fit "Tenton! Brthr!!" and point at Trentons booster seat. So I am really curious as to what he is gonna do tomorrow when Trenton gets on the school bus.

Okay must run, will write more later. but the shit about to hit the fan around here. Not good.

/Cry

Yeah, I got a comment!! /Hugs Erik. Such a sweetie. =) And yes, his vocabulary is finally starting to kick in. Thank god.

Now to the /cry part. Trenton starts kindergarten on Monday, and well tonight we had parent and teacher orientation. The classroom was nothing like the classrooms I remember. This room was HUGE. And they have their own bathroom. Shit, I remember having to get a hall pass. But they also do so much more than we did as kids. Now instead of half day classes that include a nap, they actually learn the alphabet, number, the sounds of the alphabet, and a tad bit of reading. /faints. No no, he is not big enough to do that yet. =(

In other related news (ha ha) the baby is getting two of his two year molars, making him a cranky ass, which is allright, only two more teeth to go, YEAH! And we made a step in the potty training, but if you ask Scott it was pretty damn disguting step. See Nathan will go pee all day long in the potty, doesnt bother him one bit. But the minute he has to go poop, he will grab his butt, yell "Poop! Poop!" and then you have to put him in a diaper, watch him grunt and groan, and then change him back. Well yesterday, he ran to Scott, holding his butt, and yelled "Poop! Poop!" Except when he brought his hand around front, it was filled with poop. Talk about having a shitty day. Hahahahhahaa. Okay, yes I know that was lame. But at least he pooped without the assistance of the diaper. =)

EQ News: Krys dinged 49 last night. And I am bored with Everfrost, think I am gonna spend the next week or so, just screwing off. =)

Hisssssss

The boys found a snake last night. Sucker was about a foot and a half long. Really skinny thing, figure it was a still a baby. So they chased this baby snake around the yard, and then it disappeared. Well, the minute it disappeared, Trenton's yelling, "Mom come help us find the snake." and Nathan right behind him saying' "Nake! Nake!"

Then Trenton tells me, the snake had dived into its little hole. Oh yeah, they found the snake by taking the sandbox, which is empty at the moment, and moving it, the snake was underneath. So anyways, I spend about 5 minutes helping them "look" for the snake. Finally I decide that I need to do something else. AHA, smart mom thinking "Boys, I think the snake must have went night night. Why dont you put the sandbox back where it was and maybe he will come out to play again tomorrow night." And wouldnt you know it, the little stinkers did it. And they worked together on it. I am so proud of my boys /wipes away the tears. =)

Shopping is not good for the soul

If you take two young boys with you. I had to take some clothes back to JCP's because they didn't fit the young Trenton. So off we go. All and all it was really simple, turn in clothes, grab new clothes, and heres the shit hit the fan. They had one cashier. ONE. And Nathan is not the type of child to sit still. Oh. My. God. By the time we were done, I had a bear hug type grip on Nathan, and I had sweat literally dripping off my forehead and my neck. It was pure hell.

But, I decided, seeing we had driven all the way out here, we might as well go downstairs and play in the mall play area. Now that was definitely worth it. Nathan ran circles around everyone, laughing and giggling. Trenton was pretending to be spiderman, so he would climb all these things, and then jump like he was using his webs. Well Nathan spied on that and decided he needed to jump off of everything as well. hehehehe. He would climb up, look at me and yell "Mama" and then jump. Now he always landed on his feet, but I'll be damned if everytime, he didn't also land on his face. The feet would hit and then he would just topple over. But he would get right back up.

So as a treat to Trenton I took them to the food court and they had ice cream, or cake as Nathan likes to yell. No idea why he calls it cake, but he does. /shrugs. While we were eating, they came over the intercom and announced the mall would be closing in 15 minutes. Well Trenton didn't hear the whole thing, so he asked me what it said. And I told him, and he freaked out. He gets up and says, "We have to go now before the mall closes and we get locked in!!" and up he was and out we went.

And that was my exciting night in the land of 2nd shift dads. Lord, shopping with Scott around is just sooooo much easier.

Go figure

Well showing my husband how to do the bills just didn't go as intended. What ended up happening, was I went in back and did the bills and he stayed in front and watched the boys so they wouldn't bother me. Same ole, same ole. I do feel better about most of it though, I got a lot of bills paid, and taken care of. Thank god. Hopefully we will be going somewhere soon.

Horses. OMG. Trenton just liked it. He had fun riding and wants to do it again. The baby, on the other hand. Here I thought I would have a problem with Nathan wanting to ride the horse. But I did want to get a picture of him on the horse. So we hoisted him up and I held him, and he seemed a little squeamish at first, but then. Shit, that boy had more fun than Trenton did. We got him to ride around the arena once, so when we stop, he yells, "Again!!" L says "You want to go again?" He looks at her and nod his head so vigorously, I thought he was about to fall off the horse. He enjoyed it so much. Now to see if I can come up with the flipping money to do this more often. HA!

EQ Update: I finally got the hubby to play his coercer. Hes been bitching and complaining that he can't solo any more. Okay so fine, we completed a couple of heritage quests and I asked him to join me in Everfrost. Now mind you I am, now, 63% through 48 and he is 60% through 41. So we go to my hunting grounds and I just start pounding away on the mobs. More or less, pulling him along. I keep asking, are your spells landing, because a lot of the mobs are red to him, and hes like yeah, as long as my stifle hits, I am good to go. Now mind you, I really really like to keep my mobs rooted, I wear a dress, I don't like getting hit. But every once in a while it happens. Noticed that while they were stifled, they did very little damage to me. The the hubby lets on to me. "Well maybe if I upgraded all my grey gear I could solo." Ya think?!

Dinner and Horses

Right now I am working on making dinner, Spaghetti. Which is my third choice, but everything I looked in the fridge, I was missing an ingredient, such as milk. And I am not dragging two kids to the store for milk. Especially when they are both running around in just underwear. Would take longer to get them dressed than it would to run to the store.

After dinner is the big awesome event that Trenton has been waiting for. He gets to go ride a horse tonight. This is his birthday present from L at my work. She's been begging me to take Trenton out there, and I just haven't been able to do it, so now she is kinda making me, LOL. Gonna have to stop and get a camera on the way out. Have to take pictures of this, and we are going to try to get Nathan on a horse for just a picture. Have no idea if it will work or not.

Tomorrow is a really big day of showing the darling husband how to do the checkbook. And how desperately our money situation sucks ass. But with him actually seeing where we are at, hopefully that will help him understand it a little bit more. So when I send him to the store for butter and milk, and he comes back with $15 in groceries, he will see what he is doing to the bills. And it's not his fault in anyway, its just that we took a $15k a year paycut, when he got hurt. And finding a decent job around here is like finding a needle in a haystack. Right now he is working at Wally World. And trust me, that is sooooo not the place to work if you need income. Good place to work just for the hell of it, but not to help support a family.

Welcome to the beginning!

Well here we go. Been thinking about this for a long time. Need a place to go, to talk about my kids, my hobbies, my life in general.

Times when I am pissed off at the world, due to my husbands work related problems, which in turn cause the lovely money problems. And times when my kids just absolutely make me crack up.

In all my life I have never kept a diary. I never knew what to write in it. As of now, I will probably still never know what to write, but the more I think about it, the more I need to have some memories, good or bad, written out and kept for awhile. Maybe even a place to keep pictures if we ever get a camera.
