HOLY CRAP!!!


Okay does any one have a life raft we could borrow? It is raining so hard that the mail lady is bringing everyone's stuff to the door! The mail boxes are leaking! The back yard is under a foot of water. And the front drive way is no longer usable. Yikes!! I was hoping to get some stuff done today. But, that doesn't look like it is gonna happen. It's raining way to hard. Nuts. Well have fun everyone!!!

YIPPIE!!! I miss him ALOT!! I have a new funny picture to share. I Know my dinners are getting boring but come on!! LoL
Mothra Jr has grown by inches and my ugly bag is getting uglier. Hope to get a workout in later before I get home. Even though this morning looks to be out of the question. Rain....Rain...Rain....

Tuesday, March 28, 2006

YEAH!!!!

I got the job!!!!!!

Good morning...


Well hello everybody. Going this morning to the gym. For two reasons. One: to work out some more. I have muscles in my arms you can see again! Yippie!! Two: applying for the day care position that just opened up. It's from 8:45 am to 1 pm and 5pm to 8pm. And I get to bring Anna an Kadi with me. Sounds good to me!! 5 hours in the morning and 3 hours at night. Not a lot of hours but enough when I can save ALL the money from it. Should help out a lot. Yeah! Mothra Jr is growing quite well. I now know how to make the Giant Mothra I am planning. A blankie butterfly. Yeah!! Project Happy!
I thought this picture was so cute. So I decided to share!!!! Well off to get the girls ready to go. Have fun all!

Okay Quick Question for Everyone.....

First pretty new picture of me!!!!!



Okay now I am against divorce. Really against it. But,.... Here's a big one. If a man decides he no longer wants to live at home. He calls his wife awful names. And while at his new an nicer apartment expects hi wife to clean it, do his dishes, and his laundry. While pulling his girlfriends laundry out from under the bed. What do you think she should do? He even expects his marital rights, when he has abandoned her. This I am going to have to say.... DUMP HIS BUTT!!!! Move an don't tell him where you're going. Mail him papers.
I feel so bad about the way I feel on this because nothing ANYONE says changes her mind. And nothing he does convinces her. I am emotionally exhausted. This is the first case of a marriage in trouble were I believe it would be better if they cut their losses an ran. But, if you look at it from his point of view, he has a pretty sweet set up. I can't help feeling angry at her for dealing with this, or really the lack of dealing with this. Not to mention furious at him for acting like a child. An expecting me to help HIM fix his "fat wife". Okay now I feel little better. But, does anyone think it is right to tell her to leave him? I am feeling torn about it. Even though I would've kicked his a$$ if I was in the situation. Dumped his stuff on the curb and headed for parts unknown, while on the cell with a lawyer. But, that is just me.
okay enough of that now.


I have started another ugly bag project, and a rather large endeavor with a HUGE butterfly for Heidi. Everyone send positive thoughts for "Mothra" OK.

HAVE FUN!!!!

Saturday, March 25, 2006

Well...morning....

Been looking for a job. Hoping to find one soon. Saving up for the honeymoon Dave an I want to take when he gets back. More than willing to take donations. LoL. We want to go to Savannah. Once there we need to buy a car (his job to save for). And drive it back. What's so great about spending two weeks in GA then a week on the road? *Drum Roll Pleas!* ..... His mom is watching the kids. We will be alone for more than 6 hours for the first time in 5 years!!!! We are gonna take some tours. And run around Savannah midgetless!! (no offense to little people...This what my mother referred to us as children) I am looking to sell those pretty butterflies I make. And anything else I can figure out. I am really good at receiving blankets. Right now I am trying to get a part time down town. I turn in like 20 applications day before yesterday. Guess I just have to hope. *sigh* Everybody hope for me.

WK 49

Well I have gotten through another long week. I am not even close to being finished on that blanket yet. I will just have to mail it when I am done. I have been able to go to the gym twice this week so far. Hoping to go this afternoon with my mom in law. Had a weird morning today. Spilled a soda in my yarn box!! I tripped on the clean clothes basket. Fortunately I only ruined two yarn balls. That were almost used up any ways. Yeah!! Kadi and Anna are acting really strange this morning. They keep whispering. I think they're up to something. I guess I will find out soon. I need to find someone to watch the girls this afternoon for mom an me. I hope I can. She actually wants to go!! And the fact that I miss Dave a whole heck of a lot. Have fun!!

Monday, March 20, 2006

Forever wondering what's going on....


I feel so spacey. Can't seem to keep my thought straight. And I have an appointment at the gym today. Hope My brain cooperates. I got to talk to Dave last night so I feel good about that. I have 3 good strips into my next baby blanket. Looks like I should be able to get it done. This one is going to be quite a bit bigger than 2 I made for Tara. I have the patio out front pretty much clean for the girls. So soon they will have a place to play outside. Yeah. Well I gotta get dressed so I can make it to the gym.

Saturday, March 18, 2006

Clean...Clean.. Clean...


Hoping every one is doing well out there in cyber space. I have conquered the main portion of clutter in my room. This does not include my bro in laws stuff he still has up high an down low in the closet. LoL. So now I can concentrate on my yarn tomorrow. Have to make a blanket for a cousins baby shower next Saturday. Another little boy to join the world soon.

Thursday, March 16, 2006

Anybody else just feel.....Stressed out?


Feeling a little stretched out. Wondering why I am the one who is supposed to get everything done. Heidi touched on the subject yesterday. I can see why she sat and asked the question. I have trouble asking it with out whining. Seems moms today are required to be taxi drivers, house keepers, accountants, gardeners, vets, and a few other jobs all wrapped into one. I have had several different jobs. And being a stay at home mom happens to be the most stressful. But, it's worth it for the good days. The smiles, and giggles that often erupt from the little people downstairs. Relaxing every now and then would be great too. When the girls go to sleep I do dishes and laundry. Folding while watching TV. LoL. I push in my yarn time when I can. Which is probably why it is crooked. I get up any where from 20 to 45 times during a project. I have been trying to go to the gym. I am attempting to find myself under the baby fat. But, when I go to the gym that's 2 hours of a break. Even if I am on an elliptical. It is even worth the 40 minute bus ride. But, between rain and colds I have been home for a week. Oh well, that's my job/s. LoL. I blog during their breakfast. LoL Everybody have fun! Cus I am going to try!

WK 50


Getting ready for the gym this morning. Kadi looks as if she feels better. I rolled all that yarn into balls. I have been making butterflies like crazy. I have been using fuzzy black yarn instead of pipecleaners I think it looks neat. I am now into week 50. Hopfully everything works out today so the girls and I can get out of the house. Well I gotta go. Everybody have fun!

Tuesday, March 14, 2006

At least I am far from bored..Right?


Well I finally got that bus pass. Anna and I went out yesterday. I got some new solo pieces. They are gonna be fun. I made a bunch of new butterflies to start a new idea I had. Here are some of them. I have gotten to talk to Dave a couple of times in the last few days. I love to hear his voice. He has been making fun of me . Calling my room the Dave shrine. I keep finding good picture Of him around the house in boxes. So far I only have 15 pictures. LoL. Kadi is really sick right now. So haven't gotten to the gym since last week. Can't get the other babies at the day care sick. And it sounds like Anna maybe getting it too. I just want my cough to go away. Oh well. I am finished rolling all that yarn into balls. I am going thought it quickly. Yeah!!! I love it! I am at least keeping really busy. Gotta go do some housework. Have fun everyone!

It's an Epidemic!!!



Well, yesterday got Anna hair cut. Since she decided it was time. Hers looks good. It's cute!
Now mine on the other hand was chopped an inch to short. But, it was no fault of the stylist. It was Anna. She jumped down from her chair raced over and slammed into me. We were lucky I have hair. She stood in the corner for the rest of that trip. Oh well, wanted to let it grow out once I got the bleach out anyway. I feel awful. My nose is all stuffy. And I still haven't heard from Dave. *sigh* Well, gotta clean house. Have fun all!

Friday, March 10, 2006

Yeah!!

I got my package from the Heidi lady. She is so awesome!!! YARN! YARN!!
Yippie! Thankyou!!!

Time to get a snipping....

Okay... glad I had change saved in a jar. Anna just cut her hair with nail clippers. No I am not kidding. Time to go to the salon. LoL. *sigh*

Once again the money runs dry..

Okay no money from the wreck is coming. The state is taking it. So I am now stuck with not enough money for everything. There goes the saving I had started to get to Barstow. *sigh* I wish I could get a hold of Dave. I think that emergency is starting to brew. It looks like we may be abandoning Mom up here if she doesn't come to her senses soon. I don't want to but, I may have to. Not sure what to do. Trying not to be stressed out. It isn't really working though. Missed the bus, if you couldn't tell. Was on the phone with people trying to get things through to them. Didn't happen. Kadi passed out every probably because she woke up so early this morning. And now it has started raining so at least we aren't caught out in it. Anna is driving me nuts today. But, she has been home for 2 days straight again. Well everybody have extra fun for me today!!!

Soo early..

Good morning. I guess. Feel really bad this morning. I have to take advantage of the clear skies this morning. And get outta here in a little bit. Going go get that bus pass, finally. Have fun!

Realization


The more I look at this photo that I took an posted this morning the more I like it. The bracelet Dave got for me on the window sill. I miss him a lot.

Aw man....

Waiting on phone calls. Or I would have left by now. It's already afternoon. Might as well wait on the mail lady now. Will have to get my bus pass tonight or in the morning. Before my Appointment. Man, I am going nuts. It's pretty outside. And I am stuck inside because people don't know how to use a fax machine correctly. Why can't people just do their jobs, without being nagged? I would love it if they would. Don't know what to make for dinner. And the loneliness is really starting to get to me now. Really need someone to talk to. With out listening to , "Mommy! Mommy the baby is being mean to me!" I have been listening to that all day. Kadi has been running up and slamming into Anna. That's how she hugs. But, Anna is a drama queen. So she acts like it's killing her. Kadi threw a HUGE fit. So she is up stairs in her play pen. I don't know what to do with her. So I just put her up when I can't get her to stop. Does anybody else have even suggestions? Anna didn't throw herself down like this. Kadi throws herself on the floor, and screams. Time outs don't really have an effect on a 16 month old. *sigh* well, off to find dinner for everybody. Have fun.

Time to figure it out...


Hoping to go get my bus pass renewed this morning. My allergies are starting in already. This spring should be good an miserable. Thinking about getting the rest of the bleach cut out of my hair today. I think I have enough change. If I do, I will. The fuzz is bugging me. Woke up bored today. Which is odd. I have felt trapped for the week or so. But, not bored. Always had something to do. Only on one day last week was I bored. And that's because I had everything done. I guess it's just the monotony. The same things over, and over. I am going to the gym later, if I go at all today. I don't really feel like it. Dragging the kids down there. But, I probably will. Cause I need to. I am slowly making myself better. I just wish I had a baby sitter. That is most of the problem. Everything is revolving around the girls. Which is ok, most of the time. I would just like a day for me. That's all. Well, that sounds horrible. Thinking about going to the mall. But, don't really have a reason. Just looking for reasons to get out of the house, I guess. The only adults that I talk to face to face besides Dave's mom are the people I meet on the bus. And my personal trainer. I feel so alone. I miss Dave so much. I feel like I am going crazy. I wonder if he misses me as much. Well, off to the store for that pass. Hope everybody has a great day. Have fun.

Wednesday, March 08, 2006

Nite Nite

Well, I hope everyone had a good day. Mine was pretty good. The mail lady let me down again today though. Waiting restlessly for two packages. Had a great workout. The girls were great today. And I got a lot more done on the second blankie. Tiring to go to sleep right now. I miss Dave a lot. In need of hugs. *sigh* Good night everybody.

WK 51....

Okay the count down has offically begun now. Made it through the first week. Just have 51 more to go. *sigh* Well, have to get ready to go to the gym. It isn't raining have to take advantage. Post again later.

Tuesday, March 07, 2006

One more time!!!

Well hello again everyone. We braved the rain and got on the bus. We were only rained on once thankfully. Just lots of wind. I got to the gym. Yippie! And apparently I have lost 8lbs this week. Well, I only eat when I am happy. So I guess I will probably lose lots of weight while Dave is gone, huh. It was a good 4 hours out. And Anna met some more new friends. I hope everyone is having fun. I did today!

Trapped..Again...




Wondering if I can deal with this much more. Ah!!! Well, I am getting lots of crocheting and house work done. The sun is shining, and it is pouring so hard the gutters are overflowing. If we needed the rain it would be different. But, we need rain like the beach needs more salt. Adult conversation is few an far between right now too. Haven't gotten a call from Dave in a couple of days. But, that is ok. I can deal. Because, I have too. I wonder if I am supposed to stay inside with the girls, right now. I can't take them out in this heavy rain. They will get sick again. Cant' have that. I feel so selfish. I just want a few hours to myself. Just a few. A whole day might be asking to much. I had to sit in the garage yesterday, while Kadi took a nap. Anna was watching the dreaded "Nemo". I was afraid I was getting to snappy with them. So I did enough laundry to clothe all three of us for a month. At least we have clean clothes, right? And they are being so good for being cooped up inside. They love the daycare at the gym, and they haven't gotten to go either. Anna had finally made some friends too. *sigh* They have no place to get rid of that extra energy. So they really are being good. I don't think I am ever going to get a good audition piece. I would just use one from the computer... But no printer right now. I wish Dave was here. He always fixes these things. And I need a hug. A BIG hug! Well, I guess today is movie marathon day! We sure have enough. LoL. We can go through Anna, and Kadi's toys and find the broken ones. We need to do that again anyway. Well, at least we have stuff to do. Even if it isn't very much fun. I should be getting lots of packages today. I love packages. Heidi's should be coming in any day now. *happy dance* Yarn, new yarn!! Yippie! I am watching it rain right now. Since there is no way we will make the bus this morning I am letting Anna sleep. No sense in dealing with the sleepy monster, unless I have too. LoL. It is a steady hard rain. It would be a good spring rain, if we hadn't had it for 5 days straight. It slows down for a little while. Then lets loose again. Oh well, everybody have some extra fun for me.

Dang it!

Okay that will teach me to hope outloud...it's raining... Hard. Again...

Morning, morning, morning!


It's 7am. Yes, it is that flipping early. *rubs sleep from eyes*. It isn't raining, so far. So this morning I am getting ready, right now, to leave in about 40 minutes. I am going hop the bus to go to gym. I need to break the cycle of sitting on my lazy butt. I also need to pick up some audition pieces. Things must be done today. *sigh* I must also call the insurance company today and see if they have everything under control now. Working on saving up to move. Can't afford Santa Rosa. Everything is expensive. Kadi slept all the way through the night. Which is sooo nice. I miss Savannah. Can't afford a home visit right now. I started another baby blankie, this one is in gemstone. I will post a picture of it later today. Also finish 3 more large butterflies. Oh well. I gotta get Kadi, and Anna fed. And finish getting Anna dressed. She HATES to get up early. Just like Daddy. Have fun for me!!

Monday, March 06, 2006

DONE!!!


All done!! It is slightly crooked though. *sigh* But, I think it will do the trick. Don't you? I think it's pretty.
And here are my butterflies. Dave made the red one, and the purple one while we were in Germany. And the yellow and pink were gifts. But, there rest are mine. Some are missing though. Must still be in storage. If anyone would like a butterfly just tell me! I need some stuff do. Still raining. *sigh* Now there flash flood warnings up. So I don't even know if the bus is running or not. Mom took off yesterday before I could ask her to watch the girls. So it has now been a solid week with them. I have been to walmart with them. But, I haven't been alone for over a week now. I am going nuts. Oh well. Kadi has all her teeth through now. Not completely in, but through the skin. I think I may start another blankie for Tara to go with this one. Hoping to get out alone at some point today. I don't even mind if I get soaked. Just to get away for a little bit. *sigh* Well have fun all!

Sunday, March 05, 2006

Man, I think all this rain is trying to tell me something.....

Hey everybody... I think today is the day I venture out alone. Just for the simple fact that people are driving me crazy. I need a little bit to myself. And as you can see it is impossible to take the girls with me. So I am going to bust out the umbrella. *WOOHOO* Well, I am more than half finished with my blankie for Tara. And it is going in my back pack today, so it might be done by the time I get back. I am including a picture, of my one of my passions which I can now pursue. If for no other reason than to keep me busy. This is my Bass. *Katie-BUG*. Yes, I named my bass. But, after my niece. She is older than my daughter. *smiles* My flutes name is *Jethro*. Which will make my brother fall into peels of laughter for a completely different reason. I have begun to loose weight again. Even with out the exercise. And dropping 5 lbs in two days would be good if I knew where it went! I am going to a music shop today to see about renting a horn, and getting some audition pieces for my flute. I was amazed with how quickly I picked everything for it back up. How much I remembered. Six years really didn't make much of a difference. Besides my face feeling like it was gonna slide off my face. *OW* And falling down the stairs yesterday didn't help either. *My Butt Hurts.* Anna is no longer allowed more than 2 toys at a time. I have a big bruise. But, Kadi is fine. She thought it was fun. Since all she did was bounce. LoL. I found a lot of Dave's baby pictures, and when I am able to get to a scanner with them. Look out! But, no scanner today. Rain might hurt the pictures. *sigh* Well, I have rambled on long enough. I will let everyone get back to their days. Have some extra fun for me. Just in case.


Saturday, March 04, 2006

It's Saturday...


Well, it's Saturday. It's me!! But, I can't really tell. No Dave here to be off work. I got another phone call though. Yippie! No gym again today. *sigh* I will get off my butt sooner or later , I swear. On the weekends the day care is a little more limited though. On Saturday, it is open 9 to 12. So I wouldn't make it today anyhow. And it is closed tomorrow. So I have to get Mom to watch them on the weekends. It feels awful to ask her all the time. I haven't really asked her to for about a week. Even though I have meant to. The girls are being great. So at least I have that right. Got to go to Wally world later to get some yarn for the baby blankie. Then it will be all done except for the edging. I haven't figured out what to edge it with yet. I was thinking red or orange. Something bright. It will be pretty when I am finished. Dave seems to be doing well. If a bit bored. I miss him a lot. Well, you guys have fun!!

Has Anyone else Noticed.....





That I seem to crochet better when I am trying to forget about some thing? I have noticed this. I am over half done with Tara's blankie. The only reason I stopped is because I ran out of the color. I have to go get another skein. I have my frumpy afghan going good. Soon I will have it done I am sure. It is a yummy soft afghan. Unfortunately it is in a discontinued color. AH!!! No! So this is the one and only afghan I can make in it. And to stretch out the color I am going to border each square and the whole thing in a deep green. Sigh. I would have loved a sweater or a scarf in this. Oh well. Our car insurance company is being a pain in the rear. Hopefully that works itself out. I don't know if I can handle the crap they are throwing at me. I have calmed down considerably. Not stressed anymore. Really, I swear. Why do you think the blankie got done so quick. It was raining this morning, again. So now it has been a solid week since I have been to the gym. Bad Gina!! Bad! Oh well. Hopefully I can go tonight. If not tomorrow. Not really anything I can do about it. Haven't lost anymore weight though. *sigh* I miss Dave sooo much. But, I am doing ok with that. I think. I just need a David hug. Well, have fun!

Thursday, March 02, 2006

HHHmmmmm......


I have started a baby blanket for my friend Tara(http://omanafreak.blogspot.com/). I am making one that's a little different. I changed up the colors in it. Instead of a using the usual muted pastels, I am using a bright multi colored yarn. I hope she likes it! Yippie! I started it yesterday. Almost half way through already. I keep spacing out while I am crocheting. I like the stitches I am using in this one. They're really easy. There are going to be four alternating squares. And a thick border around it. I like it. I hope to be able to get to the gym later today. I haven't been able to go because of the rain. And the fact that I have been having trouble leaving the bed in the morning. My stuffed dog is sprayed with my hubbies cologne and wearing one of his tshirts. I know I am pitiful. My mom in law is getting off a little early today so I was going to see if she'll watch the girls for a while. It will give me a little bit of a break. Which would be nice. I finally got a battery charger for my rechargerables so more pictures will be forthcoming. LoL. Still a little overwhelmed by the length of time Dave and I will be separated. I am sure you all will be sick of hearing about it soon. *sigh* The blogginess will probably be updated almost everyday to. Since keeping busy is a big thing right now. Just gotta keep my mind from wondering around in space to badly. Or I may get a little emotional. Having that trouble a lot lately. The recruiters walked by the bus the other day in uniform. I started bawling when Anna and Kadi started yelling, "Daddy!" Ack! I am having trouble right now. Well off to do some house work and get that blanket finished. Have fun for me!

Cool, It's a Box! (wk 52)

Well, Saturday was a rainy one. But, here in the sunny land of CA, it hasn't been so sunny. I was looking through a trunk of pictures in the garage, hoping to find at least one of Dave in highschool. THey seem to have all vanished. When the post man dropped in. He was terrified of the fuzzy one too. Jazz and Coz wouldn't do anything anyhow. But, hey he didn't know that. He had with a box from Dave. Full of goodies and presents for me! Yeah! Yes the Legos are for me . *sigh* I like legos ok! He sent the girls Candied pineapple. One of the few candies I don't mind them having so much. I am slowly turning into a health nut. But, that's a good thing right. If I wasn't allergic to half the plants on earth I would probably be a vegghead. Well, I finished 2 projects that I has on my hook. The batteries in my digital are dead so you'll have to wait until I get some later today to see them. The girls are doing well. Kadi keeps asking for daddy though. And Anna keeps asking when is next year. I don't cry anymore when they ask that. But. I am allowed to start my weekly count down now....soooo Week 52 has just begun. Everybody have fun! I am gonna go keep busy now.
