Weary Wednesday

It feels like Monday. It's been really hectic at work. The company is growing, and so are my responsibilities. There have been discussions about making me supervisor, but I just can't see that happening. I already do the duties of a supervisor, who knows what they'll have me do if they actually give me the title! Abby officially has 2 boyfriends. It was 3 last week but apparently they "breaked away" as Abby put it. She asked me today if she could kiss them when they're married. Some of the other little girls are having issues since all the little boys dote over Abby. The teacher told me today she has to keep a close eye because the other little girls act ugly when they see the boys over by Abby competing for her attention. LMAO She's been drawing tons of pictures. She is getting really good at drawing people. I like her bug drawings, those she does well. I will have to take a picture of my office and post it here. It is a shrine for Abby's artwork, and pictures of her. LOL

I found my next purchase for the house. I'm creating a sitting area where the technical dining room is. There was a half wall between that area and the living room when the house was built and the first dumb ass that bought this house tore it down, so this will go in it's place to divide the space. Anyway, here it is, I'm going to have two chairs and a table in between them with a lamp and books, and whatever else. The next chore is to find the curtains I have pictured in my mind. ;) Once I get my floor it will be even better!

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. :)

Update on Abby

I got the final results back from the doctors office today. I found out Friday she doesn't have Crypto TG! They're convinced it was a virus (even though noone else caught it). She seems to be getting back to normal so, guess I can't complain. We brought Kimchi back in the house. He is a severe pain in my ass. I'm crate training him. So far so good. He is like having another child only, he's the really annoying kind nobody likes. ROFL! I think because he was outside and got less attention than he would have if he was inside. Hopefully after a few days he will settle down. For now all I say is "NO" and "SIT". UGH very frustrating. He terrorizes the cat and for whatever reason no longer wants to eat his own food, but wants to eat Ritzy's. It only further proves I don't want anymore children, although I'm not sure why people compare puppies to toddlers, because puppies are WAY more irritating. I would know, I've been through it 5 times.

Abby has been letting me rock her lately. I used to rock her to sleep every night when she was little. She outgrew that around 2 -2 1/2. Now after bathtime every night she asks if I will rock her! I love it! I miss her being a baby very much, but I don't want more. I don't ache for more babies, I ache for her to be a baby again. It's almost over, before you know it I won't be able to hug her in public. She's very smart, she has a smart mouth too. LOL We have to be careful what we say around her because she WILL repeat it. She told Kimchi yesterday "SIT YOUR ASS DOWN" ROFL! She heard Phillip say that to him. When she's irritated she'll say "You're pissin me off".... she got that from me. Whoops! I have to pay close attention, even if we don't cuss, she picks up little sayings. She's said sun of a biscuit a few times too, HA I started saying that to refrain from cussing, but that clearly isn't appropriate for her to say either. LOL

I have more videos if Abby dancing I will post later. It's bathtime now.

It's only Monday...

Fortunately I'm not sending any kids off to school yet. I panic just thinking of sending Abby to Kindergarten. It goes by so fast, it makes me sick to my stomach. She's so big, and getting so smart. It's almost all over. The sweet years have not come to pass, but they will soon. I miss the big wet kisses from her toothless mouth. =( She's been having stomach problems since last Sunday. I've been riding it out to see if it's a virus. Well it's not a virus because we've hit the 7 day mark and Phillip and I haven't gotten it, and neither have her classmates. I took her to the doctor on Friday and they sent me home with stuff to get samples of her bowels with. (that was fun) I dropped them off this morning on my way to work. She hasn't complained at all except when she has to go to the bathroom. She's been eating the same and I've been giving her alot of Gatorade and water. It appeared to be getting better over the weekend but, I got called to come get her today. Apparently she went 4 or 5 times and was complaining her stomach hurt. She was sleeping when I went to get her. Poor thing. The doctor said it could be up to 5 days for results. He testing it for Crypto. Apparently there isn't really an efficient way to treat a public pool for this as it is a parasite. (or so the doctor said) I won't know until the results come back if that's what it is or not. So she'll be eating lots of bread and bananas the next few days to try and stop her up. She's still too young to give over the counter meds. She's acting fine now, so I think I will send her on to school tomorrow. I got her the cutest little uniforms. They have to wear uniforms during the regular school year. I'll post pics later.

I finally ordered a new bedset that I think will go well with our room color (hunter green) or I suppose that's the color. I like the color, I just wouldn't have chosen it for my bedroom. I'm too lazy to paint it right now. I have other house projects to do. I cleaned the whole house Saturday, and helped Phillip do yard work. It wasn't too bad we waited until about 5:30 to start. I really want to rip those hedges out and put something else, I just don't know what yet. It would have to be something low maintenance because I suck with flowers or anything that requires frequent water. I even killed drought resistant flowers!

That's all I have for now. Peace.

Tax free weekend!

My favorite time of the year! I had planned on having Abby's friend over tomorrow night but, I remembered what this weekend is! I am not taking a 4 and a 5 year old shopping with me. I don't even want to take my 4 year old. I may have to reschedule for her to come Saturday night instead. Abby won't be happy about that. Maybe if it's not hot Saturday I'll make her go to softball with daddy for a few hours. There are quite a few stores I want to go to, Abby is usually worn out after the first one. Last year I took her she had all my Victoria Secret stuff I had bought strewn all over the other stores we went in. Not cool. I have a 40% off coupon for Kohl's which is usually a pretty good bargain. I can go there and buy all 3 of us stuff and get out of there at a little over $300. I want to go to the Linens N things by my work because they're closing the store and everything is 70% off. I also want to go to Bed Bath & Beyond, and Garden Ridge. I don't know if I'll brave the mall this year. I would have to be there right when it opens. Back to school is almost as bad as christmas. Phillip pulled a muscle in his shoulder and has been preventing me from getting uninterrupted sleep the past couple days. I am so glad tomorrow is Friday! That's all I've got here. Happy Shopping!

I'm 27!

I took today off. It was a much needed extra day before heading back to work. We had a good weekend. We took Abby to the waterpark on Saturday, Abby got to swim a good while until some kid crapped in the pool. DISGUSTING! I really don't understand why some parents do not teach their children to get the hell out and go to the bathroom. Anyway, Sunday Phillip and I braved Super H the new Korean mart in Carrollton. I've been a few times but, not on a Sunday. Holy Lord! I won't do that again. We tried to go get massages, that wasn't supposed to be until next weekend but, next weekend is a busy weekend. The place I had originally planned to go to in Dallas off the tollway is $280 for couples massage, but there is another place in Frisco that is $200. The place in Frisco was booked. We'll try to squeeze it in next weekend.

Today I was rather productive. I washed all the sheets, towels, clothes, dried them, AND folded them! That's a rarity. I hate folding clothes. Abby and I went to Target to return some earphones I bought for my shuffle since Phillip bought some different ones, we went to the Sprint store so I could buy a silicone skin for my phone since they've been sold out, then we went to Sally Beauty supply, and tanning. The girls at the tanning place LOVE Abby. They told me today that they see alot of kids and she is by far the most beautiful girl they've seen, and the most well behaved. =) Abby likes going because they dote on her. LOL Phillip surprised me with flowers for my birthday. I told him I didn't want anything for my birthday, especially since next weekend is tax free weekend. Anyway, that's all here. I'm prepared for the rest of the week I suppose.
