Venting.. bad day

I really wanted to Kick dh's butt for the last few days and tonight just set me off even more. He has been in a snit ever since his truck stopped working last week. He is pissed off at me for a few other reasons.. one I deserve but the other is just plan stupid. I have let the girls do the dishes in there cleaned bathtub a few times. .. well Monday they decieded to do some cups.. well they filled the tub and left the cups in there. Dh found them and chewed my butt good for it. Personally I thought it was no big deal.. whaaaaaaaa for him.

Tonight we bboy got hurt he threated to kick michaels butt if he pushed him off the bed.. ok didn't say that.. but the point was Michael was going to be in big trouble.. and his butt would hurt. Well while I was getting b boy dressed and the other kids were getting dressed Jason was so upset he threw up all over a pile of clothes in their room. Dh got pissed off about that.. I called his mom to see if she could come and help out with the kids so both dh and I could be with bboy in the ER.. guess what.. he got PO"d at that too!! Well she called back and asked if she could just take the kids to her house while we were at the ER.. he said fine.. then threw the phone accross the room.. I'm surprised the thing still works!!

He is just being an ass.. and I saw him head into the boys room before we left.. and was yelling.. I yelled, "don't you touch him or I'll be kicking your ASS!!"

He hasn't talked to me really all night.. just acting like this is all my fault that all this crap is going on.. Kiss my butt baby!!

Sorry I am in a horrible mood.. and am venting.

New Updates..lol.

It's been awhile since I posted. I did finally get to bake my cookies..made about 4 dozen cookies, and 9 pumpkin pies, 2 dozen banana muffins, about 3 dozen Breakfast burritos. Took all but 3 pumpkin pies to Salina.

Our visit with family was lots of fun.. well for the most part it was. We stayed at a hotel for 2 days and did lots of swimming.. they have an indoor slide and I finally conqured my fears and went down it.. several times. It is high and twisty.

I now need to get back in the game of school. Speaking of which.. speech thearapist finally called and we take the boys in next friday for the first meeting. Yeah!! Can't wait to get that started.. the boys are kind of excited.

Thursday thinkings

I Had big plans to bake some cookies the other day.. so went and got the tub of cookie dough and I find that all of it is almost gone. Oh i was upset. So now I have to make up some. Oh well. I have decided to bake pumpkin pies and more cookies. I'm also going to be making up some more breakfast burritos, and muffins.. that way to save some $$ for when we go to Thanksgiving in salina.

You ever just want to stop the madness?

Weird post title huh? There are days when I just feel like I am going around and circles and not getting anywhere. Kind of like a dog spinning in circles trying to catch his tail... pointless. These last few days it seems like I am getting nothing doen. no school, no housework.. it's crazy. Now I know I have done some school, and I do housework.. but seems like not enough.

Dh got a great deal on some T.P. from work as they ordered the wrong kind and couldn't send it back.. so now I have 3 cases of 36 rolls sitting in my entry way... need to find some way to store it. So I feel like the house is a mess as that is what you see when you walk in.

I speant over an hour yesterday decluttering the girls clothes... so I have two big trashbags full of clothes to give away. But at least now the girls and see what clothes they have to wear.. and it's all clothes that they will wear. I went through and put all the boys summer clothes away and organized their clothes... again. GGGGEEEEzZzzz when will they be old enough to know .. take your dirty clothes to the laundry area????? It gets tiring having to tell them all the time.... and if I don't check.. I end up with no laundry... till I go search their rooms. UUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!

And people wonder why I am so absentminded???? It got tired of the madness and left!!

Finally Friday

Oh the joy of finding out good news!! I can fit into smaller clothes!! A friend gave me some clothes .. that I figured would just fit my daughters.. but for the fun of it I tried a dress on and it FIT!! Whoo HOO!!

Plus my child support posted today... which meant I could fill up the gas guzzler.. That took way to much $$$$$!!

But then I look online.. and one of the companies I work for will be sending me out a check that was bigger than what I thought it would be!! Happy Day!!

Tonight I have to go and two assignments at Wal-mart, acutally I have 3.. but I think that would take to long.. so will do 2 tonight and then the other next week. Plus I have like 4 or 5 from other companies to do this month!!

And what do I do with this extra money.... I buy groceries!! Sometimes I use it on something special for the kids. But mainly to help out with groceries.

No More Torture

At least not with my dryer... we went and were able to buy a washer/dryer set today from a family friend for $75. Whoo HOO!! I am so happy.. I have tried 2 loads tonight.. and it's sooo quiet!! Also bought 4 bras at a garage sale today... not often I find bras my size at yard sales. So all together a great day!!

Tired of the chinese Torture here

Ok enough is enough... we need..no make that NEED a new dryer.. I can not handle the squeeking going on here. I try to ignore it.. but between that and the kids need to talk/yell all the time.. I amm at my wits end. I might have to run away till we can get a new one. We have to go look at and have payment arrangements in place.. just need to get a hold of the person so we can go get it... oh and have the $$$.

Then.. I go and register at Mcdonalds to play their online game of monolpy... cool, huh? However.. when you return to play again.. there is no login area... and when you try to play.. it says "use the login email address" But Where in the fudge do you login at!!!!!!! Oh I was so frustrated...still am!!!

And then I have dh who cannot figure out how to pour 2Liters of water out of my 2qt batter bowl. So I go and just put 1Liter in.. pour it out.. then fill it up to 1Liter again. I mean hello!!!! If you fill it up to the 2Liter mark.. no it's not going to pour nice and neat.

sorry this is a crabby, venting post.

I am getting very frustrated with our Schooling.. we have to log on to get out lesson plans.. but the stinking site won't log on!! I have tried waiting it out.. and it take toooo long.. esp when you have 5 children, with 3 different age groups to school!!! AAAAAAAAAARrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggg!!!

So I will try again today.. I really hope they have it fixed.. or they will be getting a very frustrated call from me.


One of my "jobs" for our local homeschool group is to cordinate field trips. Well I feel I have done a pretty good job. However we just had one on Tuesday.. and I had to tell people they couldn't attend. I had one person send me two not very nice emails about the whole thing. So I had to send out an email to the group.. reinerating the "rules" for attending future trips. I mean come on people.. I always say I need to know a final count 1 week in advance... normally not a problem if more call at the last minute.. but there are a few that say only x amount can attend. And there were at least 3 families that didn't even contact ME about going... they had contacted someone else... well that someone else didn't contact ME either. At any rate.. I hope they all understand me know. I did write it nicely.. even though I didn't feel like it.

today I did not do much of anything.. we watched a friends son the last two nights and all he did was yell and throw fits if I so much as looked at him. That was very tiring... then this morning I woke up and could barely walk as the small of back was hurting something fierce.

Tomorrow we will go on a Homeschool field trip to Wolf Creek power plant.. so that should be fun!! Taking our camera. Dh even took the day off to go with us.. yeah!! After we get back home.. I have to go and an audit for work.. $15/hr.. so I won't complain..LOL.

ok.. so this weekend will be kind of busy. Dh is working tomorrow.. he has worked 6 days a week for the last 3 weeks.. getting old.. but the $$$ is good. We have our home town "Americus Days" on Saturday that the kids and I will go to while he is at work.

I have two "shops" this weekend. Amber I will give you information later on that. ok it's later..LOL. Go to http://www.shadowshopper.com and you can join it for free.. or just go look around. I am now.. as of tonight .. I work for 4 different companies. One all I do is movie trailer audits ( I get in free.. write down the ad's and the movie previews), Two I go and do independent contract work ( place different signs in stores..do book aduits), One I just go and do little shops for (like movie rentals, grocery shops). They are alot of fun.. and very easy to do!! Some of them I even have to use my digital cam on. Feel free to go and check it out.

Tonight I went and did one of my shops.. I have another one to do tomorrow!! I also went to a scrap night.. and did 6 pages!!! Whoo HOO.. I have a few things I want to add to them.. but I am happy that I did that many.

I have to head to bed.. I am exhusted.

Monday.. AAAGGGGGGHHHH
