Busy day! We had company last night. She left this morning at like
11:00, then my girl and I went out front and played in the yard. She
did the hard work, weeding the mint area, and I planted morning
glories by the carport area, and then started corn and peas, and
replanted a houseplant, and a piece of my grape vine that came off,
and all kinds of fun stuff. We had a talk about our girlfriend, and
her drama, and it was good to talk, I like talkin my my Grrrl now.
Then, she was sunburt, and were worn out, so in for a shower, and
aloe! I worked on my water recapture project, and she rested. We maybe able to get help xeriscape the yards, cool. However, the more I think about it, the more I wonder if that
means I will loose my places to grow stuff, and my water recapture
project? Oh well, it would be nice to have it all done and pretty. A
deck out our side room would be nice too ;)!
This is the story of my journey...

Saturday April 9th
Today was a busy day, as usual. I woke, got ready, took the kids to
see Nana, then I went to work for a while, trying to make up the time
I missed on Wed. when we were at the Urgent Care ALL day!
Took the middle kiddo to a softball game she had to work, she is in
sports med at school.
Came home, getting ready to go out again, when my mom in law came by
with 3 of our neices. I got hugs, it was awesome. She brought us a
rug, more awesome. They left, we went grocery shopping.

Went to get the girlfriend, went to get the
Kiddos from softba, picked up her friend, came home, I farmed, yes,
I'm addicted to farmville on facebook, but I can stop anytime I want to!
We ordered dinner, ate, then came up to our room and watched the other
guys, too funny! Love that movie!
Now, I have locked myself in the bathroom to blog, the kids are
watching the movie, my Grrrl and our girlfriend are joking around, I
think there may be a junk food run in the future! I can't breath
because of the crazy wind. There was so much I wanted to do this
weekend, but today the wind, tomorrow it is supposed to rain. I wantto
waychthe Kennedys miniseries I recorded. My middle kiddo wants to have
a Taken marathon, also a good suggestion. I need, want to hem some
pants, and start some seeds. I saw somewhere that you can start them
in toliet paper rolls, then just plant that whole thing. Too cool, and
I have been saving the rolls for a different project, whcih can
wait...I guess I better go, what will be will be, hem or not, I have
work clothes, plant or not, there is next weekend, but I will try very
hard to watch something on TV for MOST of the day...and crochet.
Oh, I ws not able to give blood, that is why I was up sp early. And I
had a thought this morning..I was internally dialoggong...
Why MUST I always be doing something else when I might have downtime
( like giving blood)
Is it because I don't wanna be alone with my thoughts? Are they dark
and scary?
No, because he only thoughts that I would be having are new things I
wanna craft, or plant, or try...
That is all, I better go, before they think I fell in or something!
Haha, sorry, potty humor!
A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something

StarDate -31119.5 ( Friday April 8th )
Well, it has been a crappy week, as far as peoples moods. Everyone has issues this week, and all I can say is that I am glad that the week is over. This weekend is designated for relaxation and rest, and peace and calm, and quiet, and rehabilitation.
I am going to give blood Saturday morning, if my iron levels are high enough. I have been taking iron pills. If they are not high enough this time, I give up!
This weekend, I want to build a trellis for my morning glories to grow up. I want to plant them somewhere new as well. I saw this thing in Martha Stewart magazine when we were at Urgent Care for 600 hours on Wednesday. I got lots of neat ideas from that magazine! Woohoo.
However, this weekend is designated for R&R. However, those things are fun for me, so... We will see. It might depend on the weather too, which is supposed to be crappy... UGH. Not cold enough to hide in bed under the covers, but in bed just the same, or on the couch, or in my recliner, crocheting... watching a movie marathon... Sounds good!
That is all for now. Oh, what do I love about my Grrrl today? That happier moods MUST prevail!

Thursday
Well, one day closer to Friday! A strange day to be sure. A big project on my desk. Challenging, but I like it that way. I am so tired, this week has kicked my butt. My office is so hot, and when I talk on my cell, I sweat all over it. I dislike that... A LOT. My Grrrl is worried that something is wrong with me, there is nothing, but if she is reading signs from me, then maybe I am putting off a vibe without even noticing? The only thing that is bothering me is that it is so hot, and I am so sweaty, ugh, and I want to be outside where it is pretty right now, but this weekend, when I can be outside, it will not be... HOW UNFAIR! Today was rainy here in the morning, I would have loved to be in bed watching movies, with the window open so I can hear the rain on the carport, with my special Grrrl right next to me... I miss the cabin. maybe we can go soon. That would be awesome! I just texted my best Grrrl about that. We always have such expectations about going there, and something usually brings us down, kids being bored, not wanting to hike, whatever. This time we ARE going to have fun, if if effin kills us!!! She just texted back. SHE'S ON BOARD!!!
OK, well, I better get back to it. Break is over!
OK, well, I better get back to it. Break is over!
No Post Wednesday
This has been and still is the longest week ever! Yesterday I tried to get an appointment for my oldest due to the car accident, but there was nothing for like 2 weeks, so I had to take her to Urgent Care. Didn't think that it would be that bad, or take that long! Holy Cow! We got there at like 11:45, didn't leave until 5:00! Nothings broken, they thought her collar bone might have a hairline fracture, but nope. The PA that we saw said that we might need to make a follow up with her regular doc if she is not feeling better by Monday or so. We'll see. I hope that she gets better. It amazes me how fragile the human body is! I mean, we can do all kinds of amazing things, but the seemingly littlest things knock us on our butt! Our girlfriend is is so much pain right now, she can't move her neck, and she has missed 2 days of school, I hope that she makes it today. She needs to go to school become a nurse, making lots of money, and take care of us! ha ha! ;)
So, what do I love about my Grrrl, from yesterday. Again, it is her willingness to go that extra mile for me. She thinks that they are little things that she does, but coming with me to the Urgent Care yesterday was very nice of her. Especially since I know how she feels about hospitals, sick people, waiting rooms, and the public in general! She always makes my life easier. Last night, we had to go see my Nana in the hospital, she was so down, that even after the long day we had she was a priority! My Grrrl got me and the kids out the door, and took care of our ( sometimes difficult ) girlfriend, and then she had dinner cooking when we got home. I bet if I had not taken the freeway ( and driven to fast ) it would have been plated when we walked in the door!
My middle child is feeling neglected, and who can blame her, she is right about middle child syndrome. I need to work on paying her more attention. It is hard, however, when she is as moody as she is. Man, I have to say, based on my experiences thus far, 15 IS the HARDEST age to be a mother of! I love my kids, but she is driving me bonkers!
My oldest is fine, and my son is moody as well. What a great life, no? I think that my early days are getting to him. He gets up at 6:30, and since I have been doing that schedule, he has been more moody. He was moody before, but he is MORE moody now. It could be the age, or the fact that he is the only male in the house, or the phase of the moon. Then again, it could be the messed up week we have had. NO normalcy to this week whatsoever! I need to work on that too. Tonight, my middle kiddo has a baseball game to work, so that throws some normalcy out the window, but we can make it a whole lot better than it has been. The rest of this week, and next, I am going to strive to make the nights normal. We all need it.
Well, that is all I think. Time to get my nose to the grindstone...

Tuesday...
So, yesterday my daughters got into an accident with our girlfriend. Scary. I left work, a bit early, and the boy and I were gonna walk, but my Grrrl met us on the walk on the way home, she brought my youngest daughter. So, I got home, changed super fast, grabbed a bite to eat, I think? We went to the shoppette and got drinks for everyone and headed to the scene.
The ambulance was there, checked everyone out and everyone is fine. My youngest daughter complained of pain, but there was all kinds of issues. We had to get the car towed to our girlfriends house, get her kid, some clothes. We brought her home to our house, she was to shaken up to be at home last night. My kids had to ride the city bus home, and walk from the stop because my Grrrls car is so small, and my van is out of commission.
I took my daughter to Urgent Care. She was in all kinds of pain. We were there from 7pm until 930. The Dr. gave her muscle relaxers and told her to take ibuprofen. We came home, and I had to have my Grrrl tell our girlfriend that she was gonna have to sleep on the couch, because I needed my sleep, and when we have slumber parties, no one really sleeps, and I have no room! I don't think that she took it very well, but upon talking about her since then, she was just bummed about the situation, etc. No car, trying to go to school, etc.
Anyhow, now I am at lunch, my daughters have the day off, so that is good, my achy one can sleep. My Grrrl is gonna take our girlfriend to the Urgent Care soon, and I am going to finish the day, and go home a bit late. My son and I are gonna catch the bus at a different stop today. Trying out a new thing. Seeing if we catch it one stop before the busy one, if we can get a better seat, or a seat at all for that matter!
The girlfriend is gonna order pizza for dinner, and my oldest is making a cake. I am not sure if she wants to spend the night again, but it will be a crazy, yet yummy night.
So, for today, what I love about my Grrrl... Yesterday she was on the ball at every turn. She rushed to the kids at the accident sight. She rushed home to make sure that the boy and I could get in the house ( I didn't have my keys!) And she got us all back to the kids. She took care of everything, including the drama of the girlfriend, and the kids and me, and everything. She is my rock! Always has been. I can look back now, on like 10 million things that she has done to be my rock! I love my rock!

Monday Yucky Monday
What a day. Didn't want to get up. Son is grumpy, didn't get enough sleep or maybe it is the weather? It was FREEZING and breezy on our walk to the bus. At least we were in the sun at the stop. He grumbled all the way to the stop, can't say that I blame him much, I was grumbling at the cold in my head. I should have brought a hat, and that was on my mind, then it was, well if I had brought a hat, it would have just messed up my hair, vicious cycle in my head!
The weekend was nice, we cooked out, yummy food. Our girlfriend came over and we had a slumber party. Not much slumber, to crowded, watched movies, etc. The weekend was busy and I didn't get to see my Nana at the rehab hospital, there were issues with her phone, and we were told not to show up without calling, so I didn't go. When I finally did get a hold of her, she sounded very down, but at that point it was to late to get there before visiting hours were over.
Now, it's Monday and the girls don't have school today or tomorrow and I know that the 15 year old will complain about being bored all day, and she is stalking her ex, and I don't know what to tell her about being bored, other than, you are 15, and have a room full of cool stuff, figure it out. Plus I had some tasks for her, but she didn't want to do them, so there you go. They are gonna be miserable today, because my Grrrl has to do laundry and with the issues in our house, the TV has to be unplugged for that to happen. Hope that gets fixed soon.
Well, I guess I better stop complaining. It doesn't do any good, plus it is payroll Monday, so I better get on it.
Ever get hit with a wave or tired? Well that is where I am right now. There are so many things that I want to do, that I feel I need to do, but my Grrrl is right, the world won't end if they don't get done right away. I think that I am getting sick again, and I really don't want that for me. But at least I would have something to blame my tired on?
OK, well, now that that is off my chest, time to get crackin'. I may post again later, depending on how the day goes!
Yeah, Time Warp on the iPod... That'll get me going!
