Heya guys! Merry Christmas!! Hope its been a good one for you...mine hasnt been SO bad! Im really exhausted b/c of not gettin much sleep, esp this week! Its mainly been about 3-4hrs at a time, and my body is wearin out real quick! I know I've been rather moody b/c of it. Of course I dont get to sleep solidy tom. either b/c I get to have crybaby. I need sleep SO bad you wouldnt even believe. I've got a house full of dirty dishes since his family was over here today, which didnt turn out the way I really planned...so that kind of sucked, but its at least over!! I made a list of all our gifts *like I do just about every year!* so I'll put those below. Im kind of feelin nauseous right now so I think im gonna eat something. Ricky also scratched the inside of my eye last night on accident so thats hurtin like hell. I may need to go to the eye doc, but im not totally sure about still bein on my moms ins. and how much it would cost for me to go...ugh! Well im off to list gifts and eventually get some shuteye. I know we're all gonna sleep good tonight, as the dogs are already in bed sleepin, lol! They are mega pooped!!

Heya guys! How have y'all been? I've been the same, pretty much just stressed and tired! Im really hopin I only have to watch crybaby for 2, MAYBE 2.5 days next week, but its not like Mel tells me anything so I can make any plans. Instead im havin to stress myself out to get things done WAY beforehand, ugh!

I havent written in like a week so I really dont even know where to start. Last week/end was pretty borin/lame. I wanted to do my Christmas shoppin, but we were hopin for Joey gettin his bonus on Mon, so we just waited it out. I didnt end up leavin the house all wkend b/c startin Fri night, all the way till Sat night, I ran fever! At the time we didnt have a therm., so I had NO idea how high it was, but I swear the last 1 was pretty high b/c it took about an hr and a half for it to break once I took meds. The others took about 30min. Idk what was really wrong with me tho. Sun I felt a little better, so I did some cleanin. I was still weak from bein sick so I wore out real quick!

Once Joey got home from hockey we ran to get him gas, stop by Walmart to get me some Sprite and a therm., and ran to get foodage from Taco Bell! Mon evenin it started with this freezin light rain and stuff. I was really hopin for at least a delay start to the day, but we didnt get enough to make schools delay or anything, so it sucked! I wanted to sleep in and not have crybaby as long, but of course no such luck! Tues and Wed were pretty cold days! Tues night we went to the hosp to see his Aunt. She had surgery that day on her bladder. Once we left there we had dinner at Wendys, then started our Christmas shoppin and got some groceries. Joey hadnt gotten his bonus, which sucked b/c we were usin what was left on 1 of my credit cards. We had just enough left to get everyone we needed to get for. We did really well, we got 4 ppls gifts for about $60! I wasnt able to spend as much on ppl as normal, but im sure everyone will understand with the economy still like it is. They should just be lucky I was able to get them anything at all.

Wed night we ran to Dollar Tree for me to get a few things. I guess I actually got 17 things, lol but its all good. Then we went to my moms, and then went to see this display of lights. It was really pretty and we got some good pix *hopefully, havent looked at them OFF camera yet to know for sure*. It cost $15 and I really dont know if it was worth it. Maybe if it was longer...oh wellz! Then we also went to this neighborhood which somehow got the name of Interlochen. Its some fancy houses that decorate and everyone drives by to look. They have one lane for lookers, and another just for residents. We went 2 years ago so a lot of the decorations were the same, but it was still fun to see. We got lots of pix of those too, so maybe next entry I'll have those uploaded for y'all to see!

We also got 2 more gifts at Entertainmart. Ate at BV of course. We couldnt wait for Greg b/c we hadnt eaten in like 9hrs, and we were already part of the way there so. Too bad too sad for him! Last night I went with mom shoppin, and well I had to finish 1 person, my brother! He should be home tonight around midnight, I guess dependin one the roads! Hopefully there wasnt too much snow up there!! This AM AT&T was supposed to come set up our new cable TV and internet, and well they never showed! Somehow it didnt get put in for today, altho we got a card from them remindin us of our installation date! They put us in for tom. as a high priority! Oh yes b/c I want to get up early on a Sat. Its supposed to be between 8-2, and I am torn on when I really want them to come, b/c I dont want to be left alone with him/them but I dont want to be woken up either. I am supposed to go wrap all of moms gifts cuz she hates to wrap, and I love it, so it works, lol!

Joey called me with VERY good news today! he finally got his Christmas Bonus today!! It was a little over $400, which is SO awesome, b/c once again we were tight on money and just tryin to get by! We havent talked about what we're gonna use the money on, but im hopin he at least pays $100 on the credit card I just used to buy gifts with cuz that'd be really good. I was goin to take a holiday since its due Jan 1 but if he can pay, then that'd be awesome!! Well I need to be off gettin this house clean. We arent makin much progress which sucks since Christmas is less than a week away now! I think crybaby is awake from his nap so I need to upload these pix and deal with him I guess, for one more lousy hour, lol! Have a nice weekend guys!!

Thurs Dec 11 2008



Heya guys! How are y'all? Im def unwindin from a VERY stressful day! I was so stressed/mad I was startin to shake and I was almost gettin into this violent rage, it was horrible!! Thankfully I've calmed down, esp since I added a little malibu rum to my lemonade[:-P] but im just thankful tom. is finally Fri.

[color=red]So lets see if I can recap the past week in a nutshell! I'll try to keep it short, but ya know I sometimes go on and on about the little things! Oh wellz, guess y'all dont mind too much or else ya wouldnt be readin this thing still![:-D] Last Thurs night was busy! We went by his aunt/uncles for just a bit because he wanted Joey to help him put things in the attic. Then we went to see my mom so Joey could hook up the new blu-ray player. The cable my dad bought didnt work so it wasnt set to watch or anything, but she was ok with that. We got dinner at Jack in the Crack and once we left from seein mom we went and got groceries at Walmart![/color]

Ugh Fri we passed up the Stars tickets Joeys work gave out, to go to his cousins b-day dinner. It was SO annoyin because we got there when she said it would start and well she wasnt even there. It was SO cold cuz the place sits right on the lake! They were 30min late *we were SO hungry and almost left* and we didnt really know anyone. It was kind of weird that it was mainly her b/f's family and friends there, for HER b-day. We were a little uncomfy, but we were ok. The friends were goin to go out somewhere afterwards, so we were goin to go also, even if just to hang out since we didnt really have any money to spend. Well Joeys clutch was seemin to go out, so we just decided to come on home so that we didnt get stuck somewhere random without the money to get a damn clutch so we could get the car home. It kind of sucked comin home so early but oh wellz. We eventually went out to get fluid for the clutch and to grab some Taco Bell because we didnt get full off our dinner since we got small meals due to money.[:-(] Money def sucks! I hate when it keeps us from havin even the smallest amount of fun, but whatever!

We slept in Sat and was just bummin around when I checked my email and saw Old Navy was havin a sale on jeans for just $12. I was plannin on gettin Joey 2 pairs anyways, and since I couldnt just hop in my car and go get them, I had to tell him so we could go get them. I ended up gettin the dogs sweaters b/c I hate thinkin that they're outside freezin when tryin to potty. Plus I knew I was sendin them to the groomer soon so I knew they'd prolly miss that extra fur, lol! For some reason the sweaters are really big, even tho the size is in their weight range. Who knows what the deal is but its annoyin! We didnt do anything else till we got ready for the party. It was SO cold outside wearin a dress, but I was ok, lol! It was nice *livin the fancy life* for one night, lol! Of course it was open bar like last year so that was awesome. I drank less than last year, and actually I think Joey did too, but it was his last drink that set him over the edge. He wasnt bad tho but we sat around talkin a bit before leavin. His little gift were dominoes, and since the ladies passin them out, knew me b/c I worked with them in parkin, they gave me a set too, woot! I put them under our tree just to make us feel special openin something else Christmas AM, lol!

Sun AM we woke up early *for us on a Sun anyways, lol* and went to the Dallas Stars practice. We go once a year, which the past 2 years has been on our Ann. wkend, cuz thats when they practice at the Stars Center closest to us. We got autographs/pix from the few that were there. We have a lot of injured and it seemed most of the *big named* ppl werent there for some reason, so I didnt even know most of the guys, lol! Im a true fan tho, promise! That took awhile for them to do that with each fan there that wanted to do all that, so once we got home and ate *almost 3 by this point*, we decided to take a small nap. Went to Moms again so we could get the cable for the blu-ray and hopefully get it hooked up. Finally it worked! Mom bought us dinner at Colters, which was super yummy! So as y'all saw Mon was our 4yr Ann. It wasnt anything special, but at least we had the day together.

Tues night we went to his cousins house to get a meal plan for Christmas Day & to borrow their steam vac. Y-day night after we ate, we went to moms again because the sound for the TV went out. Dad called right before we got there and he said it may just be dusty so to use that air dust stuff and see if it would work. Sure enough thats all it was, but now my dad wants to buy a new 1, lol! He was already sayin we could have the old 1 and mom was like well lets wait till we get a new 1 1st, lol! I mailed him a Christmas card the other day and he surprisingly already got it! I havent sent his b-day/happy new years card yet. Guess I'll do that Sat when I mail my check from Mel. We needed to get milk on the way home so we stopped to get some, and Walmart was SOLD out! How do you sell out of milk!? So here we are at midnight drivin around lookin for milk. Thankfully the other walmart had it. We werent goin to go to BV this week because of money, but we decided to just go for queso. With tip it was just $4, lol! Lucie went to the groomer today! She was really due back at the end of Oct! It had been about 3.5mos since she had been and its supposed to be about every 6-8wks. Ricky is goin next week. He was due about mid Nov, so not as bad as Lucie. I want them lookin sharp for when Joeys family comes on Christmas, lol!

So today was hell because of Kash. I really dont want to even think about it. I dont know how he gets under my skin so bad, but he def does! I feel so bad that he does that to me, but I cant help it. Part of it could be TOM. I just cant wait till he starts goin to daycare. I def wont be so stressed with feelin like I have a kid when I SOOOO dont and dont want any, ANY time soon AT ALL! Joey went back to work today after havin 9 days off. I wanted him to go back but then not. I dont really get anything done with him home, so in that sense its good so that things get done around here because his family is gonna be here 2wks from today and this house is still in NO shape. We've been workin on the carpets so I hope those come out really clean! Well theres much to be done around here so I shall be off to get this place in somewhat of ship shape, lol! Hope y'all have a nice weekend!!





melonpup: Well I wish it was just one week, but its actually every Tues/Thurs for the next 5 wks that I have to be up about 30min earlier. Im lucky tho that 2 of the Thurs are holidays, woot!
