- Today is April 7th...HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEGGY!!
- I'm so glad that my Spring Cleaning is finally finished!!
- Hubby is not playing nice with me today...he knows I need to run some errands and pick up groceries, but he's dragging his feet getting ready!! ARGH!!
- If I've been busting my tail everyday for the past 6 days, then why are my muscles still hurting?? I thought the more you did, the more the soreness was worked out of them. *sigh*
- I was doing laundry yesterday and found another pair of jeans to donate to the thrift store. I put them on, fastened them and they fell to the floor!! YAY ME!!
- It's a good thing that I've decided to go back into the work force...though I would have preferred to do it this summer, it seems I need to do it immediately. Matt lost his job this past weekend...he's now devastated!!
- Hubby is still looking for employment...thankfully he has been approved for unemployment!!
- All of this month's bills have been paid...I just hope we have more income coming in before next month's bills are due.
- I had a telemarketer call at 9:30pm last night...instead of answering it and getting angry at the idiot that decided to call that late, I just let the answering machine pick it up. Guess it wasn't important...they didn't leave a message. LOL
- I think I need to go light a fire under hubby so I can get all of my running around done today!!

Ten Thoughts Tuesday 7/15/08
1. It's nearly 1pm and I'm still trying to get motivated enough to move.
2. Every muscle in my body is screaming in pain from yesterday's overexertion of removing grease, dirt & grime off of every surface.
3. The discovery of the leaning wall and the layers of flooring yesterday was a setback I wasn't expecting.
4. I spent some time reconfiguring the design, before bedtime, and I'm quite pleased with the new solutions
3. Sherry posted yesterday about the Making Your Home Your Haven challenge. I had to tweak the "cleaning routine" a bit since my entire house has been turned upside down while doing my kitchen, but overall is completely doable and I'm looking forward to adding this to my everyday routine.
4. Did you know that dog and cat hair will stick to walls, appliances and the underside of chairs and tables? Just what I found on the side of stove and dishwasher yesterday made me want to cry.
5. I've never been one to pull out appliances to clean behind them. Install and forget it had been my motto until yesterday's major cleaning. I'm thinking I need to incorporate "clean all surfaces of appliances" maybe every 2 weeks to control the dust and accumulation of pet hair.
6. Kat was healed during one of their drama nights in Jasper this past weekend. \0/ She no longer needs her glasses. She came home Sunday night jumping up and down and telling me all about it. *giggles*
7. Speaking of Kat's drama team...every weekend, for the rest of the summer, they are booked. (Some even being out of state.) She's getting a printed schedule for me tomorrow night so that I can keep up with everything.
8. Foraged through the pantry for dinner ideas…looks like we’re having Salmon Croquette with rice & green beans.
9. I can’t put it off any longer…I’m draining and sanitizing the freezer sometime TODAY so that I can start restocking this weekend when the child support check arrives.
10. Hubby woke up today happy and all smiles. I have no idea what put it there, but I’m glad to see him smiling again!

Monday Mayhem...
For those that missed it, I spent half an hour throwing away close to $400 in frozen groceries yesterday at lunchtime...not because of faulty freezer, but the fact that someone unplugged it. (From the temperature of melted water, thawed food & SMELL...I'm guessing at least 1-2 weeks) Due to yesterday's humidity and my lack of iron stomach, I put draining & sanitizing off until nightfall. However, plans tend to change so quickly in this house and it was put off again. (Lid is closed TIGHT and awaiting me to clean...though I might be investing in a gas mask now)
I was already taking the day off from the kitchen due to stiff muscles. By the time I was finished throwing all of the gross food out, I was really hurting. Spent most of the day lounging, rubbing lotion on my legs and trying to massage the cramps away, and applying medicated heat patches to my back.
Kat made it home around 9:30pm. I feel my baby girl slipping away from me. She no longer talks to me about everything going on with her. We never spend any time together since she started working full time and traveling every weekend with the drama team. Though I'm proud of what she's doing and the hard work she's putting in to it...I'm feeling somewhat neglected and ignored. Used to, if you were looking for me, it was automatically assumed that Kat would be near. I know I've whined before asking if this is what it's suppose to feel like when you are no longer needed, but this feeling is heart-wrenching.
I rode with hubby this morning to help with directions to the place for his drug test. Turns out he didn't need me. He had to go to Wal*Mart first to pick up the paperwork to take to the hospital, but while there he had another "small interview". (Dang...how many times must someone be interviewed to work in a garage?) Nearly an hour later, hubby comes back to truck sans medical paperwork. I asked him what was up and he said they decided to put him in another position making less money that what he was making at the Truck Stop so he said he was sorry he wasted their time for the past 6 weeks and that he would have to decline. It didn't sit well with the guy in charge, but he did leave it open for hubby to return at a later time.
Hubby was disgusted. He was told the reason they were giving him less money is because of his work experience and history. Hubby asked what he meant since he had managerial experience at AutoZone, Napa, and the Truck Stop. He then was told they wanted more years than what he listed. *sigh* For what they wanted to pay him, he would have been making LESS than what OS is making now at Costco changing tires. So we stopped by a couple of places on way home for him to get aps.
Hubby has been on the phone ever since we arrived home nearly an hour ago. Unsure what will happen now...especially since we thought he HAD this job and was quoted a certain amount 2 weeks ago and it didn't happen that way today. Something more for me to worry about and try not to let it get to me.
A few minutes ago, I received a message through my MySpace from YS saying that he was coming down with his Dad and Grandma to get pickup his other sister Somer. Would only be here for the weekend and would be able to spend Saturday with me. Now I'm really freaking since my entire house is turned upside down and my kitchen in shambles. How am I suppose to be relaxed and play gracious host to Grandma Joyce when there isn't a clean spot to sit? ROFL!! Guess I better get off my hiney and bust tail to get the kitchen halfway completed.
