Alone

Recently, I had a job as a hostess that I loved... But I wanted more $$, so I ended up getting a job with Comcast. The downside to that job was that I would be working weekends and most nights I wouldn't get home until my kids were going to bed. So, I turned down the job at Comcast after talking to my boss at the diner and being told that he would figure something out in order to keep me on.

That was almost two weeks ago.

So now I'm back to being a stay-at-home mom, which I love... Or used to at least.

But I find myself feeling so alone and out of sorts, kind of.... I don't get it.

It never used to bother me a whole lot to be 7 hours from my siblings and my BFF... But now I just want to be closer to them. I think mostly just to know that people I love and can rely on are close by if I need them.

I have a couple friends here, but after 8+ years of living here, I still don't have anyone I feel like I could just pick up the phone and say "hey, let's go (shopping, out for coffee, out for drinks, etc.)".

I would move back to NH in a heartbeat if we could find jobs for the two of us making enough money to survive... And a place that's reasonably priced. Things that I'm sure don't exist in NH.

So, here I sit in PA... Where we moved to be closer to my parents, who we never see... Alone.

Cah-ray-zay!

My 7 yo just held a phone up to my ear and said "it's Donnie Wahlberg calling to congratulate you for loving him. Now you get a gold medal!"

~~~

The hubs is sick... He has Bieber fever!!

~~~

My daughter, who was conceived, born and raised all of her 6 years here in south central PA... She has a Boston accent. Numbers = numbahs

~~~

Aw shit... The tooth fairy has to come tonight. Don't know if I have money!!! Shitballs!

~~~

Oh awesome... now the boy child has left the tooth fairy a note asking what his/her name is!

How the FUCK do I know?

I guess I shouldn't write my name there, huh?

~~~

My daughter has decided that she is going to marry her friend, Dallas.

Dallas' mom and I decided it'll be cheaper for them to get married now, rather than wait... so we're talking a Chuck E. Cheese wedding.

~~~

So, the other day, my girl child decided to make herself breakfast.

No big deal, right?

HA!

She put three packets of Cream of Wheat in a bowl along with the right amount of water AND milk... microwaved it and started eating.

It must not have been sweet enough because she added brown sugar, butterscotch chips, chocolate chips and a shitload of sugar.

I only guess that it was a shitload of sugar because a day or two before, the hubs filled one of these:


And as I was noticing things she used around the kitchen, I discovered that this sugar dispenser only had about a quarter inch of sugar left in it.

That's a fucking shitload of sugar.

It was really no surprise when later on in the day she came up to me crying that her belly hurt.

All I could say to her was "Well, you have had 3 days worth of fiber and about a weeks worth of sugar... I'm not surprised you don't feel well."

By Request - because it has just been too long!

My life just hasn't been very entertaining lately. 

I have been crazy busy helping out at the kids' school. Thankfully that has come to an end... for now.

 Thank God for SUMMERTIME!!

 "I think about you in the summertime.
I'm sittin' here in the sun with you on my mind." 

Sorry... Little NKOTB for you.... couldn't help myself!

 Anyway, the most entertaining thing in the last few months happened a week or so ago.

I was cleaning out the piles of shit my kids shoved into the corners of their room... I got tired of looking at it.

I looked through the papers that were in the said piles of shit and found this little gem:

That's by my sweet little 7 1/2 year old son.

 When I first found it, I was LIVID!!

But after having the hubs give his opinion and help me have a little chat with the boy child, I was able to find the humor in it.

All I can say now is "At least he loves 'girl parts'".

 =)

yeah, so...

I decided that since I'm two weeks behind... 14 entries worth... on this 30 days of me thing, I'm not doing them...

So, you got 17 days of me.

That's all you really need to know, anyway. =)

hmmmm...

So, it's been awhile since I've posted anything...

And I'm really behind in my 30 days of me thingy...

My life has just taken a crazy busy and not very entertaining turn lately.

Most days I'm too exhausted or busy to find much funny... let alone blog about things going on.

Not to mention that a lot of days, I'm using a lot of my energy on keeping myself from crying since my daughter is difficult one.

That is not something I'm getting into right now.

I thought girls weren't supposed to be difficult until they were teenagers.

Maybe she'll be a piece of cake when she's a teenager.

LMFAO

Wishful thinking, I know.

Take me away...

I just realized that I haven't posted anything but the 30 Days of Me Challenges in awhile.

My life really hasn't been all that exciting lately...

Crazy busy, but not all that exciting.

Unless you count 3 trips to the pediatrician in a total of 4 days... for a total of 4 doctor visits.

Both kids had wicked colds.

The girl's was just that, but I just had to make sure.

The boy had croup with the first visit... 2 days later a double ear infection and the following day, an allergic reaction to Augmentin.

The pediatrician is a 40 minute drive one way... which gives me a total of 240 minutes of driving to and from the doctor this week.

Each doctor visit cost $15... for a grand total of $60.

Augmentin cost $35... and the new antibiotic the boy is on, Omnicef, was $50. Grand total of $85 in meds.

My children were crazy expensive this week... $145!!

I need a vacation... preferably one that doesn't cost me a damn thing!!

30 Days of Me Challenge - Day 17

Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

Uh... Whoever Donnie Wahlberg's girlfriend is!!

And why?

Really?

I don't think this needs a "why"... it's pretty self-explanatory!!
