That's seems to be the root of all evil anymore. It's one of my main worries. I sit here and think about how nice it would be if I never had to worry about money again. I swear I'm going to turn into one of those old ladies that goes to Bingo every Thursday and gives evil looks to everyone that calls Bingo before me. Or plays the Lotto all the time. I doing what I can to help contribute to this family, but it's so hard to do when I have 3 kids and no one will hire just on the weekends. And if they do then my appearance isn't good enough for them because I have at least 3 tattoos that can't be covered up. I would babysit, but my own kids have a tendency to stress me out and I would hate to see what someone else's kid does to me. It's the truth though. It's not like I would hit the kid or anything, but I get terrible headaches when I'm really stressed and they take DAYS to get rid of. I try to avoid these headaches at all costs. We have nothing of value and what we do have I told J that those things are the things I will NEVER sell even if we were completely desperate.
We worked hard to get these things at the time I want to be able to have something to show for what we earned and deserve. It would be wonderful to be able to have a savings again. Or the large amount of money we got back for taxes.
Going to get my ass in gear in my workouts again. I'm sick of being a fat slob.

Not So Nice Mommy
The girls did every possible thing they could think of this morning that they knew would annoy me. I blew up at them a couple times, but that didn't stop them for continuing to do it. Some days I wonder why I even had kids. So i ended up being in a bad mood this morning. Now I'm about half stressed out and fighting a mild headache. I just don't understand why they can't listen to me.
I got about half the laundry folded last night finally. It's sitting in laundry baskets waiting to put away. How many days til I do that??
I really don't have all that much to talk about today. BLAH!!!

I Actually Smiled Today
I haven't smile a REAL smile in SOOOO long. I truly don't remember the last time I smiled and meant it. And it was over something kinda stupid. I put a bunch of seeds in water yesterday to speed up their germination. I checked them a few hours ago and a bunch already sprouted. I smiled.
It was a HOT one today. 93 with heat indexes of 96-97. Thankfully we have AC. I wouldn't let the girls set foot outside until about 8:00 and C was PISSED. She threw fits all day because I refused to let her run around outside in the heat. Yeah they have a pool, but I'm sure it's pretty warm by now since I filled it up yesterday morning.
waiting on J to come home so I can take my Melatonin and go to bed. Little Man and C are refusing to go to bed and I'm starting to get kinda tired. I miss being able to get a full 8 hours of sleep a night. Well so much for C refusing to go to bed......I just found her fast asleep on the couch in the living room. No way am I moving her.
I really should work on folding and putting away laundry. It's not going anywhere though. It can wait til tomorrow when I'm in the mood to do it. I am finally just about caught up on dishes again. trying to convince J to buy me a small dishwasher. It would help me out a lot and let me get caught up on all the housework and stay caught up.

My Book Obsession
I've always been a lover of books, but lately it has been getting out of control. My local library recently started offering ebooks you can "checkout" over your computer from anywhere. They don't have EVERY single book out there, but they do have more than enough to keep me occupied when I have nothing else to do. I've been checking out the ebooks for less than 2 months now and I think I've got about 50-60 of them on my eReader. I haven't read all of them yet. It does save on gas and I don't have to drag all the kids into the library and listen to them scream when we have to leave. I can remove the DRM, add them to my eReader and return them 10 minutes later and start the whole process over again. Yeah I'm weird. What else am I going to do since we don't have cable or satellite. However, I did find a website where I can watch some TV eps for FREE!! YAY!!!
It's another hot one out there today. 90 today and 92 tomorrow. The girls made me set up their pool and then they complained that the water was too cold.
Almost done applying for school :) I need to buy a color cartridge for my printer because for some stupid reason I can't get it to print black only. Figures with my luck anymore. So then i need to get all the papers printed out and sent to them. They sent me and email saying I had 3 days to get the financial aid papers sent in or they would make me pay the full amount for the class. Um sorry but you would need my SIGNED application to try to pull that shit on me. I'm not stupid. I'm not COMPLETELY applied. Duh!!
Little Man was in a crappy mood earlier when he woke up. He was up about 1/2 an hour before I put his butt back into bed. The girls have been making me watch stupid movies today. I can only watch movies so many times before I want to throw the damn things out the window. Now they are fighting about what to watch next. GAH!!

Hello Summer Vacation???
Day 1 of Summer Vacation........So far so good with all the kiddos being home at the same time. Told A that i wanted her room clean TODAY. I've been after her and after her for days now to get it done and she keeps screwing around or making excuses as to why she isn't in there doing it. She's 8 years old....she doesn't need me to do it for her anymore. It drives me up the wall!! Now she and C decided that they had to go outside so now it's just me and Little Man and he's screaming and crying because he can't walk in my shoes. This boy throws fits about nearly everything right now. It can get pretty stressful sometimes.
I bought myself some Melatonin yesterday because I have heard from several people now that it works GREAT when you can't sleep. I took some at about 10:50 last night. I would have taken it earlier, but A and C decied they didn't want to go to bed before 10:30. The Melatonin worked fine until I woke up to have a 1/2 hour coughing fit and when J's alarm clock went off at about 5:30. I could tell that when I did sleep it was a deep, restless sleep. Which feels really nice.
I decided yesterday that I really need to get my ass in gear in going back to school. I've been looking at online schools that accept FAFSA, but the classes I want to take most likely won;t be completely covered by Financial Aid. I really don;t know how this all works because I haven't tried doing it before this. I applied to Ashford University, but I still need to get a cartridge for my computer so I can print off my application and send it to them. I applied for the B.A. in Accounting. The cost for the class is a littler over $46,000. YEOUCH!!! If i wanted to get a CPA I HAVE to have a B.A. You can;t get a CPA if you only get the Associate's in Accounting. UGH!!! And this is another thing that adds to my stress.
I have a link that would be GREAT if all of you would click on it. It's a website that I joined where you completel missions to earn free stuff and I have to compile SMILEYS before my missions are complete. I'm not totally sure how it works just yet because I just joined in the past hour. It takes some work to earn your free stuff, but that's ok with me. Not everything in life can be easy :) I've been prostituting this link everywhere hahaha.
I hope everyoen has a great Monday!!

Uneventful Saturday
Well at least I hope it stay uneventful! I haven't gotten anything accomplished today and C has been overly demanding to the point where it's starting to drive me a little nuts.
A's last day of 2nd grade was yesterday although i don't know why they even bothered to go this last week. Sure one of them was a make-up day from all the snow days, but still. For the last 2 months they had tacked on an extra 1/2 hour to each school day to use as time for make-up days. That threw my whoel schedule out the door and made it hard for A to enjoy time at home to do whatever since she then didn't get home until 4 and her bedtime was 8. So by the time she got homework done, read for the required 15+ minutes a day, eating supper, and taking a shower she didn't much time to just sit and relax.
Hoping to get at least one decent storm this afternoon. As of right now my Bing bar says that it's 90 out. And it gets humid here in the wonderful Buckeye state. So 90+stickiness=STORMS!!
I have been obessive about the eReader I had gotten for Mother's Day. The local library does ebooks now so I don't have to go all the way into town to get books. So I've been going book crazy the past month. I actually lost count of how many books I've gotten and read so far. Bette than sitting around and watching tv all day even though we don't have cable or satellite to begin with.
Well, that's it for today. I hope everyone has a good day :)
