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. =)

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.

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.

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.
