Well, a whole week without a comment from me.

The last week has been hell. Con wasn't the only one sick. I got slammed on Saturday with the crap. Slept until Monday and have been fighting a pain in the ass cough since. I don't really feel yucky I just sound bad. The rest of my family is really ill though. My aunt has pneumonia, my cousin and her kids are a step away from it. My nephew has a fever that won't stop. My mom and dad could stand to have thier lungs sucked dry and I get the pleasure of running all over for everyone getting medicines or juice. I guess if the worst that I have is a cough I can't complain too loudly but this was supposed to be a week of getting everything done before I start the new job. Well there is always Saturday.

Good news though, my back is back in working order so sticking to the PT was a good idea Scottie. Bad news is I have to keep thinking of things that don't work on me so I can keep seeing the therapist :). I will not go and ask her out no matter how often Con presses the issue. She's cute and nice and speaks French and Italian fluently and and and and. I haven't got the nerve to just ask her out. I am not really thinking I want to date right now but I also know that I just haven't got the nerve to ask her. So I will just have to keep hurting myself until I do.

I am overly stoked about starting the new job. I have even had my clothes pressed for the past week. I am still trying to figure out how I am going to avoid traffic during the 2 weeks of Olympic Hell since all the damned events that are going to take place at the Oval will all start or end right when I need to be leaving. Maybe I'll just stay down at my parents house so I can try to avoid the worst of the crowds. The dog has mellowed out in the past 4 weeks. So leaving her isn't going to be a problem. About the only thing that I can think of that HAS to be done is getting a decent hair cut. I do have about a bizillion other little things that I would like to have done but they will have to wait. I did manage to get in one more test at school. My goal was two but everytime I turned around I had something else that had to be done. Network Infastructure shouldn't be rushed though so rather than blow $100.00 because I am in a rush and I fail the test (already did that with the last one), I will just take my time and study.

I got to run and go find my blasted sister. She has my car and if I have any hopes of having a decent hair cut I need to get it back.

BTW, anyone know how Lorene's mom's eye's are? I never seem to get a hold of her to find out myself.

God awful green is gone!

Not sure why I picked that color. I'll have to remember I hate that.

Today is Friday. That said, on to important stuff. Wednesday night at the Center, the kids had thier focas group. This weeks topic was body peircings and tattoo's. We didn't talk all that much about tattoo's but I did learn a few things about poking unnatural hole's in your body. I couldn't believe the things that people do to thier bodies. OUCH!! I can grasp the concept that some people might want pencils hanging out of thier ears. That way you always have one right? I am even beginning to understand tongues with barbell's shoved through them. But do people honestly have to have forked tongues? The whole idea of sticking loops, or anything else that belongs in an ear, in genitelia is just, ahhhh disturbing. I can't imagine hanging myself from hooks to cleanse my body and soul either. I guess to each his own. Right?

Yesterday was kind of quiet. Physical therapy hurt. I have come to the conclusion that I will never tell anyone I trough out my back again. However, I did like the hanging in air while walking on a tredmill thing. That did take all the pain away fo a little while.

Today, Psyc class for the dog. Who just might get left there. She is driving me nuts today. It's colder than polar bear shit outside and all she wants to do is run in and out of the house. Too cold outside but the snow is falling, so what, she wants to go back out just to find out that, duh, it's cold outside so let her back in, then whine because the snow is falling. ARGH!

Weekend is kind of busy but I think that I will take it one little thing at a time. If I want to sleep in though I am going to have to sleep outside. My aunt is going to watch my cousin's kids again. How is it that I end up tell my cousin to find another babysitter and I still end up with the kids around me all the time? I guess I will be glad to move in with my parents. Not only will I not have to pay rent, I just might get some sleep. I hate the thought of moving in there but....a penny saved s a penny earned, and sleep does a body good. Hopefully I will be able to get enough money put aside to get my own cardboard box to live in. Ofcourse my parents will probably drive me nuts long before that happens. We'll just have to see.

Have a nice day!

Excellent Weekend!!

I have had the pleasure of having Cameron, Dondra's boy, for the weekend. Friday night I picked him up from his house and on the way home he bought me dinner. Sweet huh, take note men, he's nine and already knows how to act like a gentleman. Then we stopped and got a video, "Star Kid" (cute little movie), and a video game for the playstation, "Monster's INC" (excellent fun). We chilled out the rest of the evening into the night watching video's and playing games. Sent him off to bed, which I guess was the ultimate because he got to sleep in my room. Tried to sleep myself but did really get much rest. Saturday morning we got up and played games and ate scrambled eggs in our pajama's. Around 10:00am we decided that we had better get bundled up and take Abbie to the doggie park. When we got to the park all the other dog owner's there were grabing thier dog's and leaving. I can't say that I blame them it was 19 degrees and the wind was blowing so it was like -50 degrees out there. Well since Cameron is a kid and Abbie is a dog neither of them noticed the cold and ran thier little butts off. After about 15 minutes, Ruthie (Abbie's little doggie friend), showed up with owners in tow. Slowly after that it began to pick up. After about an hour, Abbie began to slow down. After an hour and a half she was begging to leave. I guess the cold caught up with her. By that time I had no ears, my toes were killing me, and all three of us were coated in mud, although Abbie was definatly the worse. I could have sworn I had a YELLOW Lab not a Black one. Home we went. Washed the dog. Dog and Grace crashed on the couch while Cameron went right back into playing video games. Wish I could have that energy. Trina bought us all Chinese food for dinner, which is one of Cameron's and my favorites. After that Cameron and I watched the football games, WOOWOO RAIDER'S, and played Pokemon. After 5 hours of Pokemon it was time to call it a night. This morning Cameron woke up early, snuck him and Abbie downstairs, took her outside and played for awhile. Good kid!! He's in playing games and I'm in typing. I think I will shove food down his throat now. He keeps saying he's not hungery. I think he is but he doesn't want to have to go home after breakfast. Sorry kid.

Get a nine year old for a weekend. They aren't too bad to have and they seem to forget that you are ancient.

Things observed, ummm, yesterday.

So call me stupid but, if you owned a Geo Metro and you knew you tended to go a bit fast into the turns, wouldn't you wear a seatbelt? I know I would. Apparently the driver going into my parents neighborhood didn't see a need to. I am sure he/she regrets it now. Took out a brick fence and the windshield. Kinda cool to see them lying accros the hood of the car though.

Spring in in the air.
Saw a Robin today. Spring is usually about 3 to 4 weeks away from my first site of one.
Woowoo! SLC in 2002! Go Skiers!

Why is it whenever you need the sleep the most you can't get it? Don't worry though, as soon as you can't afford to take time to rest your body will demand that you do so.
Wow!

I can post AND publish again.

ARGH!!

Blogger is screwed up again!
ACK! Scottie must be sick...

he hasn't blogged yet today. That is highly unusual. By now he has, at the very least, two blogs and working on his third. Don't know what to do if he is too ill to blog. My day isn't complete without his comments about life, the girl, the schooling, or anything else that comes to his mind. I have been living vicariously through him. I hope it's not to icky. I would make him some chicken soup, but it would be cold before I could get it to him.

Get better Scottie-boy.

Interesting Horoscope today...

Though you always have a fertile imagination and a poetic turn of mind, today you might find your level of artistic inspiration far higher than it usually is. Some powerful and perhaps disconcerting emotions could bring thoughts and ideas to your mind that normally wouldn't be there. Therefore, this is a great day to write, draw, paint, or make music. You might make use of modern technology in order to make the creative process quicker and easier for yourself.

Maybe web page design isn't too bad an idea.
My butt hurts!

Went to the Physical Therapist's today. Didn't like that. Why is it that you can tell them right where it's hurting and how you hurt it and they will always find that it's coming from somewhere else? I hurt my back the other day while playing with Abbie and somehow it's all coming from my butt. I guess that it's not all bad though. I did get a woman to play with my ass. I know it's a therapy thing but I'll take what I can get.

I went to the Center last night and got signed up to work with the youth down there. That should be fun. I also got roped into working on the web page so we will see if I really am any good at it.

Off to the doggie park.

Abbie got the bad guy's!

Well last night was a fun one. Around 2:00am Abbie started growling. When I tried to get her to quiet down she began the little woofs. I decided I had better look outside and see what was up. There were 2 kids out trying to steal our light bulb's from the outside lamps. What's up with that? So, I let her out and she chased them down the street. The kids got away with the neighbor's light's though. Probably should have called the cop's but I didn't. I would love to find out why they were going around taking out light bulbs though.

Next time I will listen better to the dog.

Good Morning.

This morning I was awakened by Makayla bawling and screaming that she didn't want to go with Trina today. 5:30 in the morning and I and all the neighbor's get to hear this. Nice! So they bring the child in the house with her bawling so hard she is on the verge of making herself sick, to find out that she thinks Trina is mean. They actually had the nerve to ask her why she thought this, not like I haven't told either of them the answer before. Since the child couldn't even catch her breath they both started at each other. Ahhh, the peaceful morning sounds. Getting extreamly tired of it all, I shouted out that it might have something to do with the fact that every (I do mean every) morning Trina yells at the kid. either she wakes up too slowly or she wants to be carried or she doesn't zip up her coat quickly enough or any other number of reason's that I can't even begin to list. She actually yelled at her because, ohmygod, she wanted to tie her own shoes one day. What the hell was she thinking? So now Shawney is made at Trina wose mad at me whose mad at this whole situation. If either one of them had and ounce of intelligence they would see just how well this whole thing is NOT working out and go about making changes. However, neither do so I think I will just shoot both and bury their bodies in the desert. Maybe then I will be able to get some sleep.

I did say I was going to not keep my first New Year's resolution, didn't I?

My dog is nuerotic as I am.

Took my dog to the vet today to find out if there was anything I could do to get Abbie over her seperation anxiety. Diagnosis...Dog has a serious case of seperation anxiety and is now being refered to a puppy psycologist. The vet gave me some cloazapam to help calm her down a bit so that when I do have to leave her alone or with someone else, I don't end up have to pay for a new DVD player, don't ask you don't want to know. Other than that there is nothing else I can do but lock her in my room and just start doing 10 second trips away from her. Hopefully she will learn that I am coming back and the world is not going to implode on her.

We'll see.
