Since someone asked in a comment on another post (and I replied), I thought I would post that there is no update. Haven't heard from the police and I don't expect to. I am pretty sure we will never see it again.
Anyway, I'm off to bed. I will check in again tomorrow. Have a good night.
Ok so it's more like kids ruined my couch but it has holes in it and I think it's time to get some new furniture. The stinky thing about it is that it was a huge set when we bought it and it was nice. However, we moved and the full set does not fit in our living room. So the loveseat and the coffee table are over at my moms and they are the only pieces that still look nice or don't have my husband's butt imprint in it.
I would like to get some more modern furniture the next time around. I am a trendy person and I tend to flow in that direction. I would like it to still match my coffee table because I really like it. It is wood and it has a lid to hide things in. Great place to store toys with small kids.
In other news- I have something special "in store" for this week. It will be released on Thursday so watch for the announcement!
Hope you all had a great weekend and day today!!
Craptastic is more like it. I am pretty much tired of my cable service. Not so much the service as it is the DVR box they gave us. We've had our account for as long as we've lived here, which is about 3 and a half years. In that time we've had to call and have them replace the box 3 times and the remote 1 time. The problem we are having with the box is that it often gets hung up when trying to fast forward, rewind or look through the guide. All of which I am sure isn't really the box but the connection through the cable.
So we are thinking of switching to satillite. I would really love to go with the new service from AT&T. It would mean a faster connection to the internet too. Our internet isn't throuhg the cable company right now but it would be an added bonus to have it all on one bill.
I am sitting here surfing looking at used cisco equipment, I didn't know that Cisco owned Linksys as well and they have some nice looking DVR boxes.
So that is what I am doing at this very moment in time. I should go clean something so I'll be back later on. Have a great Saturday!
Well, isn't that a drastic change?
Dan ended up coming straight home from work and will go to Party America on Monday. He's got a race this weekend so that will help out SO much provided they have a good weekend. Although anything would be an improvement over last weekend. Cross your fingers for us!
After he got home we went to the grocery store to do some food shopping. I made chili with lean stew meat instead of ground beef. It turned out really good. Then after the little kids went to bed we watched a movie with our older son. It was funny because it was a movie from "our time" and Alex had never seen it. It used to be one of my most fvorite movies and watching it now I can't believe how cheesy it was. Funny but cheesy. It was License to Drive with the Two Coreys.
Now in between blogging this post I am sort of trying to research Lasik eye surgery. I have worn glasses pretty much all my life and I had corrective surgery on my left eye when I was six. I am pretty sure I have astigmatism and I am farsighted, I think. I can never remember which is which and what I am. Anyway, I am basically trying to find out who and who isn't eligible. I would love to get rid of these glasses altogether.
Anyone out there had Lasik?
First,I just wanted to say thank you to the people who commented on my last post. I'd love to say that things are looking up but that hasn't happened yet.
There's no word yet on the bike. I really don't expect there to be but I keep hoping that maybe just maybe someone out there is looking out for us.
Dan just called a minute ago to saythat he wasn'tcoming straight home from work because he was going over toParty America to fill out an application. He already spoke to the hiring manager. Because of the holidays coming up they are hiring extra stock people for the season.
We were supposed to go to an engagement party tonight but we decided that we should probably stay home because the gas is too much.
Ok, enough depressing junk. Let's lighten the mood a little bit.
A cute funny story for you. The other day I kept getting silly medical ads in my email for pulse oximeters. I was joking with my friend about it when she asked, "What in the world is that??" And my reply was.."You know when you go to the hospital and they stick that thing on your finger that makes it look like you need to phone home? That's a pulse oximeter."
We had a good laugh, it was cute.
It's almost 8 pm and things are starting to sink in a bit. This morning Dan went outside to get on his motorcycle to go to work and found that someone stole it. Right out of our parking spot while we were sleeping. So now we don't have a commuter vehicle and are left with just the truck. Which in some cases might be ok except I have kids to cart to school and back. Not to mention we still have to make payments on it and it is highly unlikley we'll ever see it again.
Dan's talking about taking a 3rd job. I really don't know if our relationship can withstand a 3rd job. We barely see each other as it is and I know we both resent each other for it. Him because he hates having to work 24/7 and me because he's never home. But alas we really have no other choices.
We can't afford for me to work outside the home and I'm not qualified to do anything. I've been a SAHM since I was 19 years old. The things I do know how to do, I have taught myself so there's no formal training. I've been turned down for several jobs because I've had to disclose my medical condition. I know they can't not hire me for medical reasons so they just say it's something else, but I know the real reason.
I feel very stuck and hopeless right now and I don't even know where to go from here.
