Stuff

Not much to report here. I spent the day with my mom today, and then Abby's friends from across the street came over after we got home and left about 20 minutes ago. The kids are really sweet and they love Abby but, their parents have ALOT of energy. They are both chatty Kathy's. Phillip and I aren't very sociable people, so we stick with the friends we have and tend to not go outside of them. I really suck at being fake, and people know when I'm being fake....because I suck at it. Some people are just bubbly and full of things to say, I would rather you wrap up your whole weeks worth of stories in 10 minutes tops. Don't take a damn week to tell me about your week. I don't wave and say "hi" to my neighbors, hell I don't even say good morning to people at work. It offends people at first but once they get to know me they just accept the fact that I'm not friendly unless I know you and like you otherwise, don't look at me and don't talk to me because I really don't give a shit. =) Yeah yeah I'm mean, whatever.

I have been making an effort lately to try to be one of those "all american moms" that knows other moms names, and their kids names. I've started with the people across the street. Even though I'd rather them just smile and say "hi" from their house, when they decide to come to my yard I engage in conversation. I've started talking to the moms at Abby's school when I pick her up. It requires big effort. I used to be on a couple of moms boards and I ended up leaving them because the moms are fake and judgmental. These moms at Abby's school are like that too. The only reason I'm bothering is for Abby. If I don't try to be sociable and make myself known Abby will suffer for it because everyone one will think her mom is a weird bitch and she'll never get invited anywhere. It's friggin politics, they're everywhere they can't be escaped. So I'm trying really hard. Especially since she'll be starting school next year. I think I'll have the hang of it by then. We'll see.

On another note. We will be starting "house projects" next weekend. I think I've decided to start with recycling some furniture. There are alot of little things I want to do. One of the other things we will be doing that isn't really a "project" but, we're getting a new t.v.. We've gotten our money's worth out of the one we have. My major project is to get new floor! That won't really be "my" project but rather me paying someone to do it. =) If I could just have my damn floor I probably wouldn't do another damn thing to this house. LOL

****Also, I got everyone's emails about not being able to post comments, umm.. I think you have to be a blogger or have a gmail account because I set mine to private so it wouldn't pull on search engines. I will look at my setting but, I won't make it public, so get a gmail account, or just keep emailing your comments. :)
