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.

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.
