Ohhhh

I am still here. Rock on!!!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Trenton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of all the things, this boy is now 6 years old. Yay! /cry

We are doing his party in Darth Vader/Star Wars. Gotta love it. The party is Saturday.

Okay if I get the chance to talk about the summer I will, but I will just post things from here on out. Although I had to tell the lip story. God that still just breaks my heart.

Anyways, back to work. We are having a tax audit. Sounds like fun, eh??

EQUpdate: Krys is now level 70, and she is working on AA#33. Zymeria is now level 42, and has 4 AA's (maybe) I have also been working on my carpenter, i think she is about level 36/37 now. Should work on her at lunch today. Hmmm.

What fun

Okay to catch up, hope I get everything.

The Young at Heart Festival. This marks the beginning of summer and never ending running, lol. It happens every Memorial Day weekend. Starts on Friday, ends on Monday. And it is about a three minute walk from the house. The boys just absolutely loved it.

So we have our game plan for the weekend. Seeing it is sooo close to the house, we have no choice but to go and go often. We get home that Friday night and you can hear the music and see some of the rides. Trenton and Nathan are just begging to go. So we tell then we have to eat dinner and clean out the wagon and we will head over. Woohoo!!! They are screaming and running and dancing, lol.

So we head over, and we tell Trenton that he needs to help Nathan here and there as this will be Nathan's first year of riding rides. We planned on riding rides, then grabbing a snack and heading home as the sun went down. So much for those plans.

The boys start riding the rides. The bouncing castle, the mini roller coaster, the elephants, the balloons, the train, the carousel, and then the teacups. Tis the teacups where all hell breaks loose. They were getting off the teacups and I was trying to get Nathan's attention as he was going the wrong way (just thinking about this makes my tummy turn). So Trenton saw that Nathan was going the opposite direction and tried to get him. As he reached for him, Nathan turned and all Trenton did was get a hold of his shirt. And then it happened. Nathan fell, and he screamed. I said "Shit!" (this is important, lol) and then I grabbed him and saw blood. Nothing else just blood, and he was screaming, I knew it was bad and the next thing I said was "Oh Shit!" really loud. Some lady says don't use that language and I think I sent about 4000 daggers her way. Lady, my kid is screaming and bleeding, fuck off. (HA! that told her)

I have no clue where first aid is, and neither did the carnis (who were dipshits anyways). So I grabbed Nathan and pressed his head to my chest and went running. I stopped for second to gather my direction and prayed that I was going the right way. Well, apparently I stopped right next to the firefighters association tent and thank god I did. I must have looked really frightened, plus I had blood all over me (was wearing a halter top type shirt, but better looking, lol. exposed much upper skin though) and they come running out. Now here is where I really freak out.

The first fireman takes Nathan (hugs him to help calm him down) from me, the second asks his name. Then they pull Nathan back so they can see his lip. OMFG his lip is totally split in half. I freaked out. They said lets go and I just start running after him. Run into Scott in this mess and yell follow me. We get to the first aid tent and I start to hyperventilate.

Anyways, they check him out, and get one of their golf cart thingys and Nathan and Scott head over to the walk-in clinic across the street. The paramedic comes over and tells me she saw no damage to his teeth or gums and that a few stitches and he will be fine. I, of course, in tears, but now a little more calm, say okay and turn to walk to go home, get the car and go to the clinic. She says wait and then says I need to be cleaned off. Huh? And I look down. I am covered, covered, in blood. Then I realize one very important thing.

Where is Trenton?

Apparently, he has been attached to my side this whole time. Poor thing. He, at this point, doesn't realize how hurt Nathan is, and asks to go on the rides, as I say we have to go home. And I say one more. He rides, I then tell him we have to go home and I have to go to the clinic to get daddy and Nathan. He looks confused. Then I tell him how bad Nathan is hurt and Trenton starts to cry. You see, he thinks he did this to Nathan.

He says that he was supposed to be watching Nathan and that he was not a very good big brother to allow him to get hurt and all that. OMG, I wanted to cry for him then. I felt really really bad for Trenton. He felt so bad, that he told me, that he did not ever wanna go bad to the festival. Ugh.

So we get home and my next door neighbor, Terry, is outside. Perfect. Terry watches Trenton while I head up to the clinic. On the way, I call my mom and dad to come over and keep Trenton busy, so not to bother Terry too long.

I got there right as they were about to start the stitches, and I could not do it. I had to sit outside of the building, so I could not hear him, then the nurse came and got me when they were done. I go inside to this little boy, with a quivering lip (5 stitches in total 3 of which are in his actual lip, not the skin around it), and hair soaked with sweat, and body drenched with sweat. So I picked him and we are getting ready to leave, doc comes in tells us how to treat it, and then Nathan pipes up.

"I wanna go ride rides!!!" This cracks us all up, nurses and doc, included. It didn't detour him one bit. We tell him its late and we can ride tomorrow and we need to go see Trenton now.

We get back to the house, where Trenton and my mom and dad are outside playing. Trenton gives Nathan a hug and then turns to my mom. My mom says the look on his face was fear and sadness. He looks at her and says "Can I spend the night?" In a kind of tone of voice of shame, scared, nervous, upset. The poor baby.

So there was our first night at the Young at Heart Festival. Good times, I tell ya, good times.

I am back

I have taken a little hiatus. We have been extremely busy and on the go since Memorial Day Weekend.

Now I need to go and read where I left off, but heres a quick synopsis:

Young at Heart Festival
Nathan stiches in lip (OMG that was horrible)
Fishing, fishing, and more fishing
Lots of time at grandma's fishing and swimming
Milwaukee zoo
Scott on third shift
Me working on burnout
Krys - 70 wizard/70 sage/28 aa's
Zym - 39 Defiler/70 Provisioner/4 aa's (slowly working on getting her up before the expansion)
Trentons upcoming birthday
Trentons upcoming first day of first grade.
Nathans speech.

Been busy busy busy busy. Will be back =)

Gas prices

I grabbed this off the eq2 forums. I think it is very appropriate.

Yuck

I got my haircut last night. I dont like it. It is too short now. It was about mid back, now it is at my shoulders. It is too short. Think I said that already.

Babies got their hair cut as well. Nathan did much better this time around. He did not squirm or yell or hollar. He actually let Dana cut his hair. Trenton of course always does well with getting his hair cut. The thing with his hair is he has about 14000 colics in it. So it either has to be short or long. I really feel bad for this kid if he ever decides to let it grow out. Gonna be hell for a little while.

Nothing more pressing than that. Although if you watch House. OMFG. That was just totally unreal. I love that show. But the thing about this episode is it was a little more graphic than I really liked, lol. I can handle watching an open heart surgery on discovery, but that eyeball popping out, just really made my stomach turn.

EQUpdate: Didnt play last night, but I had dinged 68 on Krys, Monday night. Go go Cacotoxic Stain in Bonemire. Good place, I like.

Attack of the chocolate pudding

Here is a clean Nathan:


And here he is after I had to go potty (he needs a haircut bad!!):

A few pictures

There it is, ladies and gentlemen, the big birthday present: The Big Wheel!!

Trenton taking the slide for the plate.

They stole my bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!! =)

This is one of my favorites, this is Nathan wanting to be like big brother and go to school.

No Internet

My new goal for this next few months (like I can keep a goal ha!) is to keep this blog up. I did really really good when I first started this blog, which is commonplace for me, and then I began to trickle off, again, this is commonplace for me. And I knew it. Now I just need to work on that.

We went without interest for a total of 8 days. Insight Communications screwed up royally, so we had no net, and we got bored. So, Scott and I decided to tear a wall down. Really. Our kitchen is now 10X12 bigger, and OMG does that make a world of difference. It's wonderful.

The one thing about waiting this long to post, is I can never quite remember what the hell I did the past couple of weeks. So I guess I will just remember what I did this weekend.

My birthday was last Thursday. I am now the ripe old age of 31. =( Well, I guess its not that bad. I did end up with a new shirt, The Fifth Element (movie), Oceans Eleven (movie), The Black Eyed Peas (cd), and Kelly Clarkson (cd). Paranthesis for those not in the know.

Nathan turnes 3 today. Now that one really makes me sad /cries. He is doing very well. For his birthday, he got: 3 games for the Vsmile, baseball cards, a baseball outfit, a book, two movies, a Dora mat for the sprinkler, and then a big wheel. YAY!! I will get some pictures up tonight, actually. I still have to download them off my camera.

Trenton is Trenton. His last day of school is the 31st. I cant believe he will be out of kindergarten and on his way to first grade. Just unreal.

EQUpdate: Krys is 85% through 67. Makes me sad though, as she should be closer to 69 by now. Oh well. Worked on Zym a little bit, she is 70% through 69 Provie, no hurry though, I am sure just making food for myself will hit me to level 70 at some point in the near future.

Okay, I promise to start updating everyday =)

The snowball effect

One day (actually, a week ago Sunday) my husband decided to fix a light out in the garage. Yup. Do you know what happened after that? Hahahahah

So anyways, he fixed the light, and now there was no power in the garage. So he went and started to rewire the garage. Ok. Well the washer/dryer are on the same circuit as the garage. He says no worries, we don't like the paneling in here, so I will just take that down and rewire a new circuit for the washer and dryer, and we can drywall the laundry room. Sure. Ok.

Well you know, I should fix this outlet on this wall (other side of the wall to the laundry room). Well we talked about taking this wall down anyways. Yup. Sure. Ok.

But now its almost done. We opened up the kitchen into the laundry room, which is now gonna be dining room. Will get pictures up, as soon as it is done. Gotta see if I have any before pictures. /ponder

Trenton has his root canal and crown done on Monday. No more screaming YAY. He feels much much better. Thank god. It was really starting to get very bad, the pain in this tooth. So bad to the point, that the two nights before the crown, he was up part of the night. I really wish they had a ER of Dentistry.

Nathan started his speech therapy on Tuesday, and had his hearing test on Wednesday. He passed that with flying colors. And speech I think is really gonna help. He needs to slow down. I think the majority of his problem is that he is speaking much quicker than his brain is thinking about forming the words. He slows down and you can actually understand what he is saying, even with 3 year old inflections (think thats the word).

EQUpdate: Krys is 66. Actually about 80% through, so I am hoping to see 67 this weekend. The acrylia changed for ad3's kinda pissed me off, and thats only cuz I sold three of those before the announcement on test. So actually, I am kicking myself in the ass for not saving those. =(

Zymeria hit 69 provie. Although, I never made food to sell. I think this tier I am, I was selling all my extras after handing stuff out to eyezes, modex and myself. Wow. Truly impressed. I just need to go on a harvesting session. Big harvesting session.

One other thing. Scott and I wanted to try out WoW, just check it out see what its all about. But they don't have a free trial. I guess they did at one point, but thats no more. So if you hear about another one, let me know, please? Thank you. =)

Its Coming

Theres an update coming today, I can feel it. Nothing much going on, but I do need to get some pictures up. Okay one little cute story.

Last night, Nathan was eating candy. Now almost 3-yr-olds do not keep a clean face, and considering it was green candy, his face, and especially on the tip of his nose. Anyways, he has me drag him into the potty, and he does his thing. He turns around to walk out and stops. He takes two steps back, looks in the mirror, looks at me, looks in the mirror, looks back at me, and says "wat happen my nose?" Hahahahaha, remember he is a little slow on his talking (starts speech next Tuesday) But that just cracked me up, and to boot, he just really started asking lots of questiosn this week, and I mean TONS.

EQupdate: Short and sweet, Zym, 69 provie, Attalyne, now 31 carpenter. Krys is 66, and I think that about it. =)

YAY!!

Well this past week has just been hell and back and ended with a bang. lol.

Let's see. A week ago Saturday was Scott's final interview with Chrysler. He called me as he got out of the interview and was on his way home. "Honey, they are gonna call me today with my schedule, pay rate, and start date" Woohoo. We both dance around and have a good day, till say, 1pm. They hadn't called. Sunday, no call. Very annoying. Scott had Tuesday and Thursday off, so he was starting to feel really anxious.

Had the phone forwarded to my cell phone on Monday, just in case. No phone call. We are making dinner and I say to him, "They are going to call you tomorrow." At this point, Scott is feeling a little sick (Worried), and I as well. To be this close to being out of Hellmart, and out of financial worries, is just too much to take.

Well about 10 on Tuesday, I call Scott to see whats going on. He says he is just playing EQ2 and is about to go take a nap. So we get off the phone and go about the rest of the day, or so I thought. He calls me back about 15 minutes later. My first question, was of course, I thought you were taking a nap? He tells me, well I was but, Chrysler just called and I have orientation tomorrow and I start work on Tuesday. WOOHOO WOOHOO.

But alas, that is a Wednesday and he has to work, oh dear, if he calls in sick he is sure to be fired, considering all the days he had taken off in the past two weeks, for Chrysler and the Post office. So he decideds to just do the right thing. He goes in and talks to the co-manager of the store and is upfront and gets things taken care of.

So Wednesdays bring orientation. 8 hours worth. I finally get to talk to him when I get home from work. He says they are in the process of switchign hours. IE going from 8 hr days to 9 hr days. And that they will call next week, and when they call, he starts the next day and of course this is all going to be second shift. Grrrrrrr. More anxiety. So then he himhaws about what to do with walmart. We get to talking and I tell him, that I think he should make Friday his last day, because he does not want to miss the phone call from Chrysler. And even if he doesnt work next week, the way paydates fall at walmart (every two weeks) versus Chrysler (every week) it wont hurt us at all.

So he going in on Thurs, tells Friday is his last day, he gets some crap about it. Hello????? $20/hr vs $8/hr. Hmmmm let me think. DuH!!! About 15 minutes later he calls me back, and says to write this down, So and so's name, h26 chassis, and then be there one hour earlier. And he starts Tuesday. "Oh and one other thing, hun. I will be on first shift" WHOOOPPPIIIIIEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About 20 minutes later, the whole roller coasters comes crashing, the tears finally end, the headache begins, and I want to just take a damn nap. But its all done.

He starts tomorrow. 45 hours this week. 9 hrs tues-fri and 9 and sat. Oh did I tell you that they pay overtime on a daily basis. After 8 hours a day, the rest are overtime. Did you know, that Saturdays are pure time and a half, regardless of how many hours you work that week. And Sundays are double time. Holy buckets of joy, batman. And next week, I think is 54 hours. Mon-sat. 9 hours a day. I think I am gonna cry again.
________________________________________________

Easter was good. Lots of candy, lots of fun. They boys were so cranky by last night, I wanted to scream, lol. But they were very good. I have a few pictures, they were being goofs. Will get them up soon.
________________________________________________

EQUpdate: I havent been playing much, my mind just too preoccupied with other things. This weekend went well. We grouped up Friday night and ran around Sanctum of Scaleborn, that was fun. Had a really good group as well. And I really want to group with Troubadors, a hell of a lot more.

Sunday, Scott played an alt, and he got into a group with them. I threw up LFG and went on my way. Okay, I am gonna go here and rant. Some guy in the Barren Sky was /ooc for a dps or a healer for Palance of Awakened. Now, I havent been there yet and I really wanted to go, so I sent him a tell. He says I am not high enough DPS. huh????????????????????? I am a 65 wizzy, my best damage spells are adept3 or master. and I dont have enough dps?????? Ass wipe. Ended up getting a group for the Nest, and dinging 66. Rock on, baby.

Hmmm

Lots going on. Lets see.

Scotts final interview is at Chrysler tomorrow. 90% of them walk out with their schedule in hand. He also had another interview at the post office Wednesday.

Trenton had his tooth pulled yesterday. Today you would never know that the work had been done. Hes totally normal.

Nathan, well, is Nathan.

EQ, not too much going on.
___________________________________________________

Scott has his final interview tomorrow at Chrysler. 90% of them walk out with their schedule in hand. He is so nervous. They called yesterday and said that he needed to be the walk in clinic today at 1 for a final physical and a pee test. He had to go into work today and request today and tomorrow off (on top of having Wed and Thurs off) and had a talk with his boss, stating personel problems afoot. He boss was cool with it. So thank god. He was so afraid (and I was a little as well) that he would lose his wally world job, trying to get into Chrysler.

So keep those fingers crossed.
___________________________________________________

Trenton had his tooth pulled yesterday. He did allright. Although, he did scream and yell when we got home. I think the anestetic (lord knows I spelled that wrong) was wearing off. He was screaming, "I am never going back to the doctor again, you cant make me!!!!" Does not make you feel good.

So we put his lovely fallen (pulled) tooth under his pillow. And the tooth fairy brought him $2. Well Nathan didnt want to sleep well last night, so I went and laid with him, as I did not feel like fighting with him last night, (I was tired) and a few minutes later I here some noise coming from the top bunk. I look over and there is Trenton climbing down. He sees me look at him and begins waving his two dollars bills around, with a huge ass grin on his face. He was so excited. It was great to see.
________________________________________________________

Nathan has been funny this past couple days. It has been very nice out as of late. So we have been playing outside alot. And the boy really loves baseball. Well Wed night, Scott was cooking a pork roast and went to add water to it, and it was cold water to a hot glass dish, so can you guess what happened? Yes yes we exploded. So I head outside and ask the boys what they wanted for dinner. Nathans answer.... "No. Play outside." Twice he said that. Bah. The whole night, thats all I heard.

Then the next morning we wake him and the first thing out of his mouth. "outside. Baseball." This is gonna be one interesting summer.

Nathan also started gymnastics last night. He did really good, except he kept wanting to do what the other kids were doing. As in, he kept taking off and going to other centers and not the ones you are not supposed to be at. He was really cute, though, and tried really hard to get everything done.
___________________________________________________

EQupdate: Not much to update. The only day I played this week was Wed, and we went to scrawling cliffs and made a few $$.

Kids these days....

"Trenton, what did you do in school today?"

"I forgot"

"I just picked you up. How could you forget that fast?"

"Mom, I took the memory card out of my brain, and put it away." (said in all seriousness)

Gotta love them =)

Ahh my poor Trenton

I decided to switch dentists with Trenton, as I didnt particulary care for the dentist we currently had. Trenton has 2 fillings, and both of these kept falling out. I mean both, twice, in a six month time span. And he didnt use novacain to kill the pain, he just did the freezing gum thing and also no laughing gas. And in the 2 years he had been going, they have never taken an Xray.

So I decided it was time to switch dentist and see what a different one did. Well we chose a pediatric dentist. So his appointment was yesterday. OMG. Heres what we get to do in the next month:

Visit 1: A cleaning and flouride treatment. No big deal.

Visit 2: Extraction of tooth L, as it is abscessed and no way to save it. Joy! This was caught on the XRay, btw. This is also the tooth that has had the filling fall out twice. This will actually be done under general anestetia (god I know I spelled that wrong).

Visit 3: A Crown for tooth I. As it is abscessed, but savable. Joy! Also caught by the Xray. This tooth has filling.

Visit 4: A crown for tooth S. As it is abscessed, but savable. Joy! (notice the sarcasm in that). Also, alas, caught by Xray. This tooth has a filling. Which is not there at the moment, because the last dentist, pulled it while she was flossing his teeth, and they decided he could wait a month before it was refilled. Wha????? (That was the clencher of changing dentists) Also, at this appointment, we will have one of his molars filled.

Visit 5: We get to get two more molars filled.

Visit 6: We get fitted for a spacer for the tooth that was extracted.

Visit 7: We get the actual spacer placed, and we are all done. YAY!

Now this is gonna cost us almost $1700, and thats with insurance, covering a good portion of it. I feel so bad for this poor baby. Makes me wanny cry. Okay, well, I did cry. Dammit he is only 5, why the hell does he have to go through this, and hopefully this is not a precursor to the rest of his life and teeth. Gah.

EQUpdate: Did not play, was not in a mood too. Although I was playing Luxor on the zone.com.

Thought it was funny =)

We went and did Cazels Mesa for the first time last night, myself, scott and scotts brother, (necro) all 64. Oh yeah, I hit 64 yesterday. So anyways, we run through it, had a rough start but ended up pretty good. The mobs range from 58-64, so not too bad. Got a couple names and got a master chest from Cazel. What I found funny was this:

We drop Cazel and he drops metal. Woohoo. We pop the chest and inside are two items. One a Fabled belt and the other, a spoon. WTH?? A spoon? What is up with that? About 1.2 seconds later, Scotts yells, Enchanter epic. I look at him like, wha??? There is no enchanter epic in eq2...........OHHHHHHHHH, that enchanter epic. hahaha. Kudos to the devs on that one. A play on a named, thought it was cool. (For those that don't know. Cazel in EQ1, dropped a spoon that was needed to complete epic v1.0. He was in Oasis in Marr)

So then we headed over to the roost. That was pretty cool, all green though, but still not too bad. Got quite a bit of aaxp last night. Now Scott wants to hit up the Hidden Cache and Lockjaws Liar and get the aaxp out of there. Oh and nevermind the fact of possibly getting a metal (master) chest. Nope not that at all, as the mob hits the red in health, you can hear Scott chanting: metal metal metal metal. Hahaha

Very Uneventful

As the title states it, we had a very uneventful weekend. Scott had to work all weekend, so me and the boys just hung around and didn't do much. Although, it was nice enough that they got to go outside and play on Sunday. Was a very nice day.

Those boys are both becoming so independant. I kinda (yes only kinda) miss hearing my name all the time. On the other hand, its nice to know that I can start something and be able to finish it without stopping 14 times along the way. Although the one thing that I cannot understand is, that even though Scott is home, and he works weekend, you would think the kids would be thrilled to see him, is that they never go to him for anything. Maybe it's so engrained in their heads to come to me, but man, please, go to your daddy, for something. Please?!

Scott passed his physical for Chrysler, and he and the interview lady have been playing phone tag. Poor guy. This is destroying him. Just call today, so we can get this show on the road. Please. =)

Scott's mom goes in for surgery today. Hip replacement. She's not that old and this is her third major surgery in the past 3 years, plus she has had a couple minor surguries along the way. Long story to tell, but lets just say, that if her first doctor had not been such an ass, this would have never had to happen.

EQUpdate: Hmmm, krys is still 63, although she is now 80% through. She dinged 68 sage as well, so thats cool. Also got Zym to 66 provisioner. Decided to quite trying to sell App4's. Had a lot of money tied up in that. Acutally it was a little over 3pp. Now trust me, I am not rich beyond any means, but damn, I now have 5pp. Woohoo. Think I am gonna save some of that up, get like 20pp before I go collection quest completion crazy, lol. I believe I am mostly set up armor wise, not doing too bad. My int is sitting at 459 right now, which (if I figured correctly) is only 2 points below the hard cap. So we all good there, what I really need to work on is wis, Yikes. I am getting resisted alot lately, but my wisdom sucks.

Bye

Borac decided he is not gonna be playing EQ2 anymore. You will be missed, you and Sinster both (Sinster apparently quit as well). Eyezes, Modex and I all had a great time grouping with you. We had finally found a steady group and were hitting content we hadnt been able to do for a while.

You are both very good people. You will truly be missed. /hugs /dance

Rejoice in what is known as real life, and have fun =)

Okay, heres the skinny

Heres the deal: The lady I work with, we have been dealing with this stuff for over 2 years now. And not to sound mean, as I know she needs help, is that its driving me batty. She does nothing but bitch and complain about her life. How she has no money, how the only reason she is around is for her son. I am sorry, thats a good reason, but maybe you need to start looking at the bright side of things. Hate begets hate and all that. If you think life sucks, everything will begin to suck.

We have givin her shit tons of advice on what to do, everything from goign to the doctor (shrink) to the little things that will make life easier. She refuses. It just gets to a point of, if you are not gonna help yourself, after two years, why should I help? But, of course, being who I am, I do tend to worry about her. Just wish she would get her head out of a hole and go to counseling. I dont care if it costs money, pay them $5 a month and be done with it.

The boys, are doing well. Although, Nathan spent 3 hours playing the Vsmile last night. He is good at that. Very good. Trenton decided to watch TV all night, and I had no energy so I didnt argue.

EQUpdate: Didnt do anything at all last night, okay not much anyways. Gained about 40% tradeskill on Krys. Found out I want and Ebony Imbued Great Staff (I think I am missing a word in there) I have the rare, I have the Scintillating Flower, now if I can find a woodworker that doesnt charge 1pp to do the combine. Grrrr.

Did get Zymeria to level 64 provie last night. That was cool. Need to spend some time on Gazer Isle provie harvesting. =)

What do you do?

The person you work with, says she wants to kill herself, yet refuses to get help because it costs money, and she wont spend the money, cuz shes a single mom, and has no other income, and is living paycheck to paycheck? She also refuses to listen to anything we tell her, any advice, oh no no no, i cant do that.

Can I take her out back and beat the shit out of her and hopefully bring her to her senses? No?? Didnt think so.

Is there anykind of state assistance in this matter? Is there anything at all that can be done?

Btw: Her son just turned 4 in February.

Are we having fun yet?

Mondays are always so...lame, I guess you could say. This weekend wasnt too bad. Had a birthday party to go to, for our niece on Saturday. She turned two. She is such a cutie. The boys ended up spending the night at grandmas as well. So that gave Scott and I a chance to be together, by ourselves, for a change. Was rather nice.

Although Scott ended up getting sick on Sunday. The boys came home, and you could tell they were tired. The did nothing but eat constantly and were in bed by 7:30 and asleep by 7:35. The poor things. But they had an absolute blast. They played at the park and went fishing and watch Harry Potter: GOF.

Grandma had to say that when they went to the park, that Nathan went straight for the sandbox, and the minute he sat down, he took his socks and shoes off. Brrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got down signing the boys up for gymnastics. They love their classes. I actually talked the girl into moving Nathan up to level one, even though you have to be 3, but hell he has been fully potty trained for like 9 months now. So we get to see what this will be like, lol.

EQUpdate: Okay, been tooling around KoS, havent really tried to level. But I dinged 63 yesterday, YAY, and I also dinged Krys, 66 sage. So that was cool. Got my Fusion Adept 3 made, got Scotts adept 3 domination made. Apparently that lasts for like 30 minutes. Wow. Now I just need to find another moonstone, so I can get Ice Nova, and then anything after this is just pure bonus. Weee.

Got Zymeria to 63 provie, she will be 64, possibly 65, by the end of the week. Trying, really trying. But I am not pushing it.

I also moved Krys to a three bedroom apt, in North Freeport, Got my 4 bank slots, now if someone would just buy my stuff. I swear. lol. I put all my app 4's up for 10g, and any food zymeria is making, but hell its the no stat stuff at the moment, so of course it is going kinda slow. Thats why I want to push her in levels, So i can sell and make some moolah.

=) Gotta get some pictures. Maybe I will do that tonight while screwing off, juts dont keep me to my word =p

Ummmm

Why cant I view my blog? Why am I forbidden? HELP!!!!

One more thing quick

And I have to work for a few minutes at least: How in the world is it possible that I cannot view my own blog anymore? I mean it comes up with Forbidden code 403, like I have to have a password. It is the weirdest damn thing.

HELP!

Wow

Wow, I got a mention at http://eqjournal.blogspot.com/ woohoo. I feel totally awesome right now. Considering I was really upset at the fact that some took my name and made a jewelry store: http://www.krystaleakreations.com/ I mean how can someone take my exact name. The name I came up with in 9th grade, several number of years ago? Would like to do something about it, but I have no idea. Hey Aggro, aren't you in the law business, lol. Probably not a damn thing I can do about it, though, is there? Oh well, still kinda makes me mad. But, wow, but Mr. X made me feel a lot better =)

I am so easily made happy, hehe. I feel all giddy now.

Well I have so much to talk about. Its been so long and I have been actually busy at work lately (which is where I post from) and been too busy playing KoS. So heres a rundown that I hope to get to today: KoS has been a blast, Krys is now 62 wiz/64 sage. Zym is 32 defiler/63 provie, and I got my other two tradeskillers (carpenter and jeweler) to level 30.

Nathan is, well, he will be 3 in May. And I still call him my baby, and now my baby is all signed up for preschool. I am gonna cry /sniff /sniff

Trenton is doing absolutely wonderful. He is learning his letters and sounds and making great great progress. He truly is an amazing kid. Although the poor baby had to deal with the death of the babysitters cat, which was his partner in crime and nap buddy.

Scott is still working at Wally world. Although........he has an interview tomorrow with DaimlerChryler Corp, to go work on the line, woohooo. He got a letter (he has already taken 14 tests for them, it seems like) stating he is pretty much in. YAY!!!!!!!!! Lets all keep our fingers crossed.

OMG I Swear

There is a post coming today. I am so horribly neglectful. =)

Too cute, awwwwwwwwwwww

Scott and I decided to make new characters to try out the new newbie experience, as they remade the isle of refuge. So we both made humans/good. He is a Berserker and I am a Swashbuckler. I tried my best to make Larizza feminine with softer lines and some fill in the face, and made her as small as it would let me. So anyways I took this screenshot and isn't it too cute:

I could not get them to stop staring at each other, bleh. Heheheheh =p

Some pictures

Okay so I took some pictures. This first one is of the bedroom portion of my apartment. I only have this part decorated. And in all actuality, I am waiting til I can upgrade to a three bedroom apartment. Need guild level 20 for that to be a status apartment, and I am grabbing the one that has the 4 vault slots.

This is a picture of the other side of that room. It has the dining table and a nice fireplace. There is another room but it nothing more than a book shelves and a market board and all of my kittys (5) and my two other pets.

Here is close up of the fire place. I really like this and will have one in everyroom in my new apartment.

This is one of a graphics glitch I experienced last night. The headless Eyezes. My poor hubby =(

And this one. This is now my new favorite spell for spell effects. This is from the Ccoercer line, it is called Demoralizing Gaze. I had Scott casting this spell constantly. Gotta love the first night with a new computer and video card.

And thats my slide show for today. =)

Uh-huh Just What I Thought

Well I think I may have pink eye. Isnt that nice? I woke up this morning with my eye glued shut, and now it itches like a son of a gun. My only problem with this is my contacts. I only have one pair left, and my glasses are about 2 prescriptions behind. So its likely I will not be seeing much the next few days. Ewwwww!!!!!!!!!

Had my carpel tunnel test yesterday. Hah! Never wanna do that again. They shock you and stick needles in you, and then he turns around and says, theres not a thing wrong. Okay then why does my wrist hurt and my hand numb? Any answers for that? For some reason it just doesnt seem right.

/skips along singing "I got a new computer! I got a new computer!" /skips off

OMG, this thing is absolutely amazing. I cant remember all the specs off hand. But is a 2.8 gig dual processor, 1gig ram, I got a new video card, 256 nvidia. It has integrated sound, OMG, the sound is unreal. And I no longer skip through Maj'dul. As a matter of fact, I am having zero lag, latency and any of those issues. My zone times went from approx 1 minute to around 10-20 seconds at most, it used to take me around 3 minutes to zone in Maj'dul, god I loathed that zone, not anymore. I see spell graphics that I have never seen, all the pretty colors. Everything is unreal, its like a whole new world.

Yee Haw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boring

Tis why I dont post all the time anymore, for some reason I think my life is plain. Lol. And last night was just another night.

Nathan did get his hair cut. That was, um, interesting. No no no he screamed. And then he got his blankey, and he sat in my lap and he did okay. Dana likes to finish the guys up with the electric razor around the ears and the nape of the neck, she calls it the tickler for the boys. And here she is doing this, and nathan is shrugging his shoulders and pulling his head down. I thought it hurt him or he was scared. Nah, he was trying to hold still and not laugh, but the laughs were starting to escape.

Trenton, Scott and myself, played the sorry game though. Holy crap, that took an hour to play the whole game. And Trenton won. Even though he cried about 3 times and I have to threaten to put the game up. He would cry everytime someone would pull a sorry on his pieces. But he still ended up winning. Him and I had a nice long talk about his whining and crying.

We had a dentist appointment for Trenton the other day. A good ole teeth cleaning. Apparently one of his fillings was loose, because as she was flossing his teeth it came out. So now we have to get that redone. And also he has two loose teeth. One on the bottom and one up top. Not that loose yet, they barely wiggle, but they do wiggle nonetheless.

EQUpdate: We were supposed to cyclops in PoF last night but Scott decided he didn't want to log in, so I got on and made spells for guildies. 5 scout spells and 7 shaman spells. I will be darned if that didnt take me near an hour to do that. It kinda sucked.

And that was my night, of what should be relaxing. It was boring.

Bah

I was doing really well at updating this, but that has gone down the tubes. I need to just log in and do it. Be like Nike, Just Do It.

Other than the usual, nothing much going on. I do have a ton of pictures I need to up on the site. And if there were any cute stories, I totally forgot them, which is why I need to start updating this more.

Trenton has been signed up for literacy help, as he is little slow on his sounds and some letters. As a matter of fact, we got his report card, that shows which letters and such he knows. He knows all but 3 capitol letters. Only knows 3 little letters. and as for sounds, its marked that he knows none. So we have a conference scheduled sometime in February, so that we can see if he has improved any, or if we have more work to do.

Nathan is being as cute as possible, although he has pink eye in both eyes. Getting those eye drops in there is a pain in the ass though. He did though make us laugh pretty good last night. They were watching willy wonka (the new one) and they wanted it movie theatre style. So they get the air mattress, no lights, popcorn, juice, and then the movie. Well at one point Trenton fell asleep, and Nathan was just laying down watching the movie all intently. Well its comes to the point where Mike TV is talking about the TV room and hows its not possible. And Willy turns around and yells "Mumbler!" and then Nathan sits upright, and yells "Mumbler!" and lays back down all non chalant. Very funny indeed.

They went sledding on Saturday. I know Trenton likes it, but I was very afraid of what Nathan would think. Wouldn't ya know it? He gets down to the bottom of the hill, and yells "AGAIN!" bah, he is too cute.

EQUpdate: Well Krys is 59, and eyezes is 55, gonna get him 56 tonight, we are hoping for 58 for the end of the month, and gives three weeks to get 60. We found a good spot to duo and get good XP, two spots actually. So we will probably be there a lot, unforunately. I really hate grinding, but, eh, what are you going to do about it? I have been working on Krys sage, and shes at 42, about to ding 43. Have all my harvests for the run to 50, just have to make the papers and quills, and have scott send me the inks. Hoping for 60 before the expansion, for spells, but we shall see.

I am also really excited about the new tradeskills. No sub components. YAY!!! I cant wait. Although it means more harvesting, which is boring, thats okay. I like the fact that I have my stuff and I dont have to spend several hours making papers and quills, and Scott is all thank god, about no more inks (hes the alchemist). So very excited about this being implemented.

I am just Flabbergasted

Trenton just totally blew my mind last night. I mean literally, jaw dropping, OMG, I can't believe you did that. We all know that Trenton is not my sleeper, never has been, and I though never would be.

Last night, they were taking a bath, and Nathan got out, Trenton stayed in the tub. I hear him yell, taking the plug out, which means he is almost done, as he likes to stay in till all the water is gone. Well I was talking to Scotts mom, and so I finished up my conversation. When I go to get him, hes not in the tub, and I hear a giggle. I look over into his room and he is in bed. hmmm. What are you doing? I ask. He says that he is tired. He had started his movie, and was laying in bed. So, at that point (it's 7:30) I tell him he needs to get dressed and tell everyone good night. So get dressed, he asks for a drink, which I get him, he goes and gives everyone a kiss. Asks me to tuck him in and turn off the light.

Are you really that tired Trenton, I have to ask him. His response is classic gold. "Mom, I had a really long day, especially at school. We had to do all centers today and I am just worn out." Hahahahahahahahaha, he was asleep 20 minutes later. /boggled

I am now wearing a wrist brace. I knew it was coming. I have carpel tunnel. I knew I have had it for a while, just never been to the doctor for it. Only reason I went yesterday, was that my hand went numb and never came back. I go in on Feb 22, to have the testing done. Seems a little interesting to me.

EQ: I dinged Krys 58. Just now started on the Peacock club quest line. Scott and I running around doing it. Seems interesting. A quest within a quest, and when done leads to another quest. I like stuff like that. =)

Nothing else to report really. Am working on a video clip, a couple actually, to get hosted so I can post them here, and then also get time to upload some pictures I took of the boys. =) All in all, everything is well.
