More News On The Bike..

The CHP detective guy called again this morning.. Dan called him back from work. Like I said they found the engine.. but they also found the gas tank as well as the selfish bastard that did this. Turns out the moron came in from Manteca and they also found another bike in bits and pieces in his possession.

They have him in custody and plan to "prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law". Great news, even better would be if we could get the bike back but since pigs don't fly..

What I'd really love.. is to sue him for the remaining balance on the bike because I still have to pay for it.

And to have him tarred, feathered and possibly drawn and quartered too.

An Explanation..

I am feeling a little bit better this week. Nothing has actually gotten better, I have just let the dust settle a little bit and I am thinking more clearly. There's not really a whole lot I can do to change it.. so I guess I just have to accept it and move on.

Let's back the truck up a little and I will explain everything that has transpired over the last few weeks.

First, the bike got stolen but that you already know.

Last week, just before I was about to head to the grocery store.. my truck was repossessed. This I blame Dan for wholeheartedly-sorry dear just can't sugarcoat this one. It was in his name and he was blatantly ignoring the bank. I am angry because I didn't want the thing in the first place because I knew we couldn't afford it nor did he even discuss it with me before he bought it. He HAD to have it and justified it by insisting we needed it for work purposes. Basically, something was supposed to happen and it has not yet. He should know better by now considering it's something that was supposed to happen 3 years ago. But now of course we are in debt because of empty promises and stupidity. So now we have 5 kids and no transportation and I have to depend on everyone else just for my basic needs and nessecities (like getting to the grocery store, to the bank, etc).

Moving on.. no sense in beating the dead horse to a bloody pulp.

Dan and I have to go to court on the 24th because our ever so lovely 14 yr old who likes to run away when he doesn't want to follow the house rules, has a hearing in juvenile court. This should be interesting.. just incase you didn't know, it's not a good idea to spray paint obscenities on a tractor.

I have decided that all of the proceeds from my money making efforts that I do online, will go towards buying ME a new (used) car. One that we can all fit into to replace not only the truck but my old paid off minivan that my "dear" husband decided we HE should sell because.. I can't even remember why.

I know there is more but I seem to have blocked out all traumatic events leading up to my nervous breakdown.. I'm sure it will manage to remind me sooner or later.

How Can You Argue With That Logic?

My 7 year old blonde, blue-eyed, whiter than white (he gets that from me) child thinks he's Mexican because he can count in Spanish and likes tacos. *Sigh*

Now really, who can argue with that? Try.. I dare you. The kid has an answer for everything.

I flipped on Nanny 911 and this family, god bless them adopted 32 boys most of which are Special Needs children. Going as crazy as I am with my 5.. I cannot even imagine 32. But hey, more power to them. I cannot image the amounts of baby clothes they must have gone through and the every day laundry?? Here I am not wanting to do my laundry for 7.. I don't even want to think about how much and how often they have to do theirs.

Back From the Dentist

First, I have to say that I love my dentist. He is so nice and doesn't treat you like your just a walking house payment. He had jut numbed me up and he said he'd get me some magazines to look at and I said, "Oh I brought one with me", which was my new Memory Makers mag I got today.

So he was talking to me about scrapbooking, asked what kind I did so I told him. He thought that was like the coolest thing ever because he's kind of a technical type of guy. So then he asks if I post them online and could anyone view them and I said yes. He asked for my gallery link!

I got a phone call tonight from both the CHP and the Tracy Police Dept to inform me that they found Dan's motorcycle engine on the highway. I have been trying to get in touch with Dan but I think his phone died because it went straight to voicemail. Either that or he shut it off because they were trying to call him and when the phone was answered they asked for "Peter" and when someone calls for Peter it's usually a creditor so he said they had the wrong number. Insert big old eyeroll here. So hopefully, he'll call later to say goodnight or something.

Speaking of Dan, remember how I mentioned I had something that I wanted to get him for his birthday but I couldn't share here because he reads and I didn't want him to find out? Well, I wasn't able to get it.. it's hard because number one I don't know if he actually wants this thing and number two-there was some mention of maybe needing an HDMI cable and I am not sure if I do need one or not. Our tower is so old and our computer, which I affectionatley call my "Frankenputer" because it has been rebuilt and upgraded so many times it no longer has a specific "brand". I am going to do some more research and try to make it his Christmas present.

I did get him something else for his birthday, I got him a new keyboard for the desktop. Alex got him a new PC game he had been wanting. It was a pretty nice surprise to come home from after the long work weekend.

Have a great night everyone!

In Bed..

I woke up this morning feeling like I had been hit by a Mack truck. I thought I felt warm, I asked Dan if I had a fever. My throat hurts, my head hurts, my back aches.. I am not sure if I'm really sick or if all of the stress from recent events are just catching up with me.

Anyway, Dan stayed home today and I'm spending the day in bed. Well, except for about an hour when I have to go back to the dentist. I have another appointment to work on my teeth.. yay more Novocaine. That was sarcasm there in case you missed it. They keep asking me if I've taken any diet pills, I keep thinking.. "Do I look like I've taken diet pills?" but I know it's just because they have to make sure nothing bad interacts with the anesthetics.

Right now I am watching The People's Court. I love Judge Milian, I think she rocks. She always makes me laugh and I love it when she does her "rough justice".. it cracks me up!! Right now I am listening to a case of this guy who got arrested and detained for over 17 hours at the police department by a association of militant Jews. I guess this group is something like a neighborhood watch program..only with Jewish men. Very interesting *insert plotting smiley guy here**.

Alright, enough of my delirious rambling.. hope you all have a great day.

My World Is Crumbling Around Me

And I dont know how to fix it.

Cranky and Nauseous..

Not a fabulous combo let me tell you.

I was at the dentist last night for the first of 4 Deep Cleanings which required anesthetics and a lot of them. First a topical.. then a shot in my gums and one in my cheek. Then another in the gums b/c I could still sorta feel it.

They told me not to eat til it wore off completely.. and I'm so glad I didn't wait otherwise I would have starved to death. I went to bed at 10:30 and my lip was still numb but the rest was all better.

I go back on Friday for some more. I'm not terribly thrilled as I have some anxiety issues. I'd rather be knocked out completely. I don't like being aware of what someone is doing in my mouth even if I can't feel it. It was the same with my c-section.. I am glad it was something they HAD to put me out for because I don't think I could have been able to be awake for it. It would have freaked me out too much.

Needless to say, I'm a bit sensitive this morning. I took some Advil so I'm good on that front but the kids are making me cranky and I feel kinda blah.. I'm guessing an after effect of the anesthetic? I don't know.. I've never had dental anesthetic before.

Anyway, I'm off to get the kids ready for school AGAIN. I got Liam dressed and now he is UNdressed and wearing a cow suit.
