The Loot We Got!!!

well, bear and i made out pretty good for the holidays! we got the kitchen island cart we asked for. got a new handmixer, new toothbrush (electric), pie drippy pan, chrismas ornaments, wall hangings, a name sign for by our front door. bear got new jeans and a grill cover.... i got a cookie jar and cake stand. gotta find room in my tiny house for those last two items... bear got me an emerald ring and a movie!!! that man has such great taste! christmas isn't quite as exciting as it used to be... sometimes i wish i was still a kid. i'd be playing with toys currently... but my toys are useful so i have to wait for the right time to use them LOL. hope everyone had a great christmas.

Merry Christmas to All!!!

well, bear and i have finished prepping the food for christmas. casseroles ready to bake, waffle mix ready for the iron. eggnog not nogged but pretty delicious all the same. cider ready to make into wassail. house clean... for now. presents under tree... cat in the bed and me wanting to follow after him. have to get up around 5-ish to begin the cooking and dressing of table. but it'll all be worth it i hope. bear gave me one of my gifts early... emerald ring, which i had mentioned i wanted one but he got me one far nicer than i had even picked out. natural emerald vs. lab created...he has such great taste... i love this man!!! he says i get another one tomorrow. how sweet is he? i can't wait to see everyone's face when they get their gift hope they like their t-shirts.... gram gave me 2 gifts early... the candle ring thingys and a table runner.... she just loves me so much and i'm grateful for that... she's the best ever! well, merry christmas everyone! i'm sure i won't get a chance to say anything tomorrow... enjoy the holiday!

I'm gonna be a good girl and wait until after the christmas holiday to turn in the stupid woman. the more i thought on the subject the more angry i became. i was afraid i'd say something really bad! who me? yes me... i was making myself angry the more i thought on it and i was thinking on it because i wanted to have a pretty good idea of what i was gonna say when i got to speak to the person in charge...so i will wait until after christmas...this may be a mistake but oh well i will just do it this way... can you believe that it is almost christmas day? i went grocery shopping and the cost was astronomical...UGH! and the crowds were pretty bad too. shopping sucks! but i think i'm pretty ready to have christmas here.. house is basically clean the food is pretty well prepped so all that has got to happen is cooking... i hope!

I've come to a decision!

After talking to my mother-in-law and my own mommy i have come to a decision. i'm going to call that 800# and ask to speak to the head honcho! that's right i'm gonna get on my high horse (lowly though it be) and demand to speak to the person in charge. then after i get them i'm going to demand a formal written apology from that bitch i spoke to yesterday. that or i want her to have NO job! as my mommy said i'm getting feisty in my old age heheh... yeah well i'm just tired of being nice and taking everybody else's shit! they need to get some decent office/work decorum... etiquette was created for a reason... so you didn't go around beating each other in the head with clubs i imagine...i could be wrong of course.... after i get my way on this i may of course go back to being nice and maybe sweet but not too much so!

** ps. if miss kristen takes a look at this i'm sure she'll say it's awful cutsie-wootsie... my picture that is... but oh well it makes me smile :)

Pretty good day?!

well, i think today went pretty well. had a bunch of different kids from different schools. i think all in all it went well. they didn't seem to bicker too much and only as the day went by did they complain of boredom but what do you expect after you've been there for like 9 hours... goodness can you even imagine? actually today seemed more relaxing than pspm does on a regular day LOL... so i went and bought food for magic and then came home to feed the dogs. they were so happy to see me and play. i love that they love me and are happy to see me no matter what. so we ran around the dog lot like maniacs...well they are maniacs so what do you expect and billy didn't even charge the gate!!! hooray, he usually is only good for his daddy but of course, i did have a piece of tin in the way, so could that be the only reason he was good for me?! then i came inside and have listened to merlin (the cat) bitch at me for being gone all day... he misses his daddy too and fills his spot in the bed at nite or at least tries to. of course when his daddy does get home mer will harrass him for about 24 hours. i think the animals miss bear almost as much as i do! got a message from sis she needed birthdays so i called but she was out so i left them on her answering machine... and now here i am. it's exciting life i lead isn't it? LOL so that's it for now....except for the cat jumping in and out of his tent like a nut just now and then racing into the living room! crazy cat!

It's 7:32, do you know where i'm at?

This sweet little kitty looks almost like my darling Merlin,

when he was an itty bitty boy (i.e. before he weighed 16 pounds!)

Okay so it's 7:30 at nite and i've been home for a bit... maybe an hour or not quite. the kids were good today... yippee.. i really do love those kids. they wished me a merry christmas and one mother sent me a gift. another mom said she had a gift for me but she'd rushed out the door w/o it... i told her that sounded like me, forgetful. LOL holidays are so crazy. so all those kids made me feel so much better. found out i have to work tomorrow; well, i knew i had to work but found out when... 7 am until ? 6 at the latest. but miss cindy said if there was a staff member to be sent home by like 4:30/5 that she'd make sure i would be the one. whatever, with Bear up in Jackson county it's not like i have a reason to rush home, is it? i can't wait for him to be home. he found out that he (hopefully) gets the week from xmas to new year's off. i'd like to have some time like that with him, but at the same time that lack of paycheck would suck really bad. guess that's all for now. we'll see how tomorrow is... after all i'll have a new set of kids b/c there will be a combination from several schools. SCARY!

Bad day

okay so now that i've posted my first blog and got myself established i can actually use this thing....
today has started out terrible! number one it started yesterday. i had received a message on my phone to call some lady at an 800 number so i do... and when i get the answering service i find out it's for some collections agency! not only that but i find out the office opens at noon! so i call at noon to find out that they are in a meeting. so i leave a message. i say to call me before 2! no call. i go to work and then come home, no message. i call back, the answering service says they are in a meeting! still, again, i'm not sure. it's 7 at nite people!!!! i leave another message.
they call me at 9 this morn and wake my butt outta bed. i'm so ticked off. plus i can not figure out what i could possibly have a collections agency calling me for. so this woman gets ever so hateful with me and tells me it's the first time she could get through to me and she has other people to work with. which is not the issue but she basically calls me a liar when i say i could get thru to no one! then she goes on and on about how legal action is being called on me. i say i've paid the credit company and regularly and that i'm not even over my limit. and the company is still sending me bills regularly! she says the amount is not cutting it.
so then finally after she has harrassed me for like 10 mins or so she says "is this ________________?" i say "yes." "is your social ___________________?" i say "no." "is your address _____________________?" i say "no."
i say "my name is _____________, my social is _____________________, my address is ______________________, my phone number is _____________________. do you even have the right account number? "
so she says "well obviously ma'am if the other info is wrong then the account number is also incorrect. I will mark your number off as a wrong number, okay?"
Stupid woman! shouldn't they ask all your info first before getting someone all up in arms? i mean for godsake! she just started in right away about how i was gonna go to court!!!! damnit!
well hopefully from now on my day will go better. I called Bear (my husband) but he's not called back but then he's at work so.... hopefully he'll not be too worried... i hope the kids are good today... they've been good the past 2 days but i think that's partially in anticipation of santa claus! they are, after all, k and 1 grades.

My First Post!

today i've done it. i've joined the high tech world. i decided to get myself a blog.... partially because i enjoy reading everyone else's but also i never find the time to write in my journal anymore and maybe i'll do this instead with more regularity...could just be wishful thinking on my part but who knows i may really follow thru on this. let's hope so. here's a picture of my Bear and me! isn't he cute? (this pic is from 2003, time sure does pass...)
