Any number of things

Life is crazy.

Dealing with some family issues, it's surprising to me how little I let me get stressed out now. The current situations, which I will not elaborate on, would have left me in tears and freaking out...now, it's just another day.

Work is great, too much of it, but great. I just got a job offer to work for a bigger line, which means more commission, a raise, and less hours. A triple threat of lovely. Plus I use all of the products so I'll actually save money by working there (free stuff every few months).

Speaking of saving, grocery deals all around. I'm still mad at the crazy buy it all lady, but hey, what can you do. I was able to buy alot of stuff tonight for about 12 dollars, so I am at peace with my coupons. I hope albertsons always does doubles! Super good and cheap food.

I did buy a pregnancy test. Hey, it was on sale. I know i know, it just doesn't add up in case I do turn out to be one of those that tests don't work on, but you can't hate on me for trying. I didn't focus on the ovulation the last few months, so I would like to officially declare that "we are not trying!" to the universe... Just in case it helps.

I am Jack's Mental Angst

Seriously.

A few things I'd lime to rant about for a minute.

1. Grocery stores and their "deals"

If you advertise a special, please stock it. And to those ladies out there trying to coupon... Stop fucking it up for the rest of us. When you take all 60 of an item at one store and do this at ALL the local stores, you have not only beat the system, you have wasted my gas and my time so I could get just 5 of those.....5 is how many we would actually eat in a month... not your crazy ass stockpile to last you until the end of time.

2. Working 12 hours shifts

I can't say no and for this I should beat my own ass. I am so tired I couldn't if I wanted too. Trying to make a baby is nill in this whole never have time of my own or even seeing my husband...and FORGET sleeping or keeping the house clean. People always say my house never needs to be cleaned, I am sure they would eat their words now.

3. I am done with pets!

After Sadie, my patience has been worn thin and it's only getting worse. She seems to be better now (wow, doggie aspirin is a miracle) but everytime I turn around there is pee or POOP in my house! My dogs were soooo well trained before, I don't know what's going on. AND when I clean it up, I turn around and someone has puked. Sweeet. PITA is another story, why she chose to pee on our laundry this last week, I will never know, but it would be nice to kick her out of the house so if anyone wants a peeing cat, you just let me know.

Ahhhhrggghh!

Sibling jealously

Baby was born last night. I am officially an aunt and officially jealous of my brother. I didn't really get jealous of the pregnancy, just the aftermath of being able to hold a baby in your arms and know that they are yours to raise and love.

I feel badly for my dad, he's officially is a grandpa for the first time but my brother has sided with my mom and they aren't speaking. He didn't even get a email, text, or a phone call. I forwarded the information as I received it including pictures. I tried to broach the subject with my brother and my mom but just got dead response. I kniw that they should be able to feel what they feel, but this is an important milestone and one that should mend fences, not make taller ones. It makes me feel like when it's my turn that I should return the favor, but I'm not like that and unfortunately the only thing I can do is try to involve my dad as much as possible when it's us having the baby so he can really enjoy being a grandpa.

But, I can't wait to meet my newest family member, all said and done.

An unsuccessful attempt

Tried to have a garage sale, my OCD clutter phobia was on overdrive and my closets were calling for a cleaning. Mistakely, I chose late June to have this summer barrel of fun...rain and freezing! Yah!

I have so far sold 4 dollars in two days, and have had less visitors then come to this site in an hour! Maybe I should just do it here!

I figure it's not hitting the right clientele base, I don't own crap and dustables just as figurines.... I have alot of contemporary stuff that just didn't fit into the color scheme I planned for this house. Oh well.

It's only 9am and this thing is supposed to go until 2. 5 bucks bets I don't last past 11am.

In other general news: making my pantry full and o'plenty. Working hard. Nephew is to be born Sunday or Monday (4 years of trying and 3 invitros later).

Starting to wonder what's up with my body: cramping every day even just a week past period and the periods are lasting a long time (7days) last few months. I think it's time for a visit to "swoon" doctor.

Working for the weekend

My second job loves me.

They want me to go full time but the whole point of a second job is to have more money...not less. It's just a lower wage than I can handle as an only job. I've also got to tell him no about extra hours, I am just at my boiling point and could use one day off a week to actually be a day off. Thursday I had alot to do before my afternoon shift with them, a long list that really needs to be done so I can have a garage sale I've been planing for a while. But, he needs me to work a full open to close which leaves me with nearly no time to gather my things and get my head straight.

Hopefully he'll understand. I want to help him because he's a small biz guy that really could use some positive help around the place... but I just can't.

In my month of crazy, I am going full swing into this whole drink if I wanna, eat what I wanna, and spend money on myself...if I wanna.
I needed a break from it all. Too much disappointment. I know that the folks who actually read this have experienced much worse and for much longer, so I feel like one of these breaks every 6 months may be in order so I don't become a crazed negative person no one wants to listen to. (both in real life and in blog life)

Drunk at 11am

Yes. I am.

I am acting as if this is my last month of crazy. I am at the horse races with friends. It's kinda exciting.

Drunk at 11am. Sweet

So I lied.

Sadie is back to bad. It's like another 180 back to sick.
Next step is a xray, although both of us are unsure what good an xray will do in figuring out what we can do for her. She is not leading a quality life at the moment, but the vet... The vet could give a damn, they just want more money!

I may try to convience ash to wake up and go with me tomorrow, I don't want to go alone and have to get the death glare from them. He really doesn't want to, but sometimes you gotta team it.
