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.
