October 13 Columbus DayI have the day off! WooHoo!!! It's great! I love a day off!
I had MANY things to get done today. And I should have made a list. Cuz my brain had gone all ADD on me. It's seems I start something, move on to the next thing without finishing the first thing. Can't get organized. feel like I haven't gotten much done, because the house is kinda in disaray due to the ADD thing, but I have been busy most of the morning (well until I logged on to the computer)
 I have:taken Tink to school
went to the grocery storey-before my shower even and my hair was ohhhohhh
baked a cake
exercised
showered
beat the dog-no not really, but we did have words-he is SO naughty
Cleaned out the front coat closet
changed the mouse on the computer.
And now I really should make a list for what I want to get done this afternoon. But.... I probably won't, I'll just keep pinballing around.
 The repair shop came to get my car, they changed the water pump last week/2wks ago and my "Low Coolant" lite came on yesterday while the girls & I were in Kearney. SO hubby thinks my car must have a "slow" leak probably due to that they didn't get something tightened correctly. I called hubby when I noticed the light was one, so he says I will need to add some antifreeze and to watch the heat gauge thing closely, we were almost to Kearney so I told him I thought wal-mart would do that, he agreed. The girls & I went to the mall, did our damage then headed over to wal-mart. I stood in line back at the automotive department to be told "they are not trained for anitfreeze" WHAT!? I stood there and said " they just can't poor some in for me" and the lady was like "NO, they are not trained, yada yada" plus she had this not nice attitude. SO i replied " fine, i'll figure out how to do it myself" and I turned around and walked out. Oh did I mention that it was pouring rain! The girls and I started our shopping, I was almost in tears! Somewhere between complete anger and frustration. We finished up our shopping headed out to the car, in the rain, then I try to figure out how to get the hood open, and where the antifreeze goes. Several phone calls to hubby later, I am trying to the get the cap off the radiator thing and I can not get it off and I am now pissed at hubby for not being there. And please keep in mind that we are in the parking lot of wal-mart. Cars coming and going, cars that contain men, men that the watching this woman standing in the rain messing with the engine portion of her car. And the ONLY person that asked me if I needed any help WAS ANOTHER WOMAN!!! I couldn't ge the cap off to add the antifreeze and I was so mad and wet by this point I just called hubby and said "we are on our way, i'll call you when we overheat!" But, luckily, we made it home without overheating. I kept the vent on blowing cold air into the car just the get the air moving through the engine, hopefully helping to keep whatever cool, beside me & the girls, and I don't know if it helped or not. I hate dealing with that kind of stuff by myself.
When we got home, hubby was like all you should have needed to do was push down and turn, like a medicine cap and it should have came right off. To which I said "prove it" and I marched him right out the garage with my hands on my hips and made him take it off. And he struggled with it, but evently got it off. But he agreed, especailly in the rain when it & my hands were wet, that I probably would not have gotten it off. They just brought my car back........no bill, hopefully they won't charge for this.
Well I better get busy, my day's a wasting! October 07 FREE TIMEThis week is suppose to be my calm before the storm as next week is just {shudder} overwhelming. This is supposed to be a semi-free week. Tink has a game on Thursday at home. That’s it. I can handle that. So I have all week to bake cookies. Off at 4 on Monday, should be able to get right home and get started.
But then, I promised (and forgotten) Boo a new pair of shoes (and she wasn’t about to forget that-unload the dishwasher yes, new shoes, no) after school, -she went up two shoe sizes, did she need those?-We had NO food, so a trip to the grocery store, and a meeting with a bridal couple for their upcoming wedding, plus the normal taxi driving around picking up & delivering of the children to their many activities. I didn’t get home until 6:30. So much for getting a good start before we had to go to Boo’s parent-teacher conferences at 7:55. Which, I might add, she would appear to be the perfect child. All A’s, the teachers all said that she participates in class, asks questions, can “see” the bigger picture and is just a delight to have in class. Really!? ….She must be different at school.
Anyhoo, I did still manage to get some of cookies baked up last night.
BUT, tonight……..
Tonight, I again get off at 4 and there is nothing until Tink’s PTC. So I should be able to get started on more cookies right away.
HAHAHAHAHA October 02 slackerHi, my name is Tracie and I’m a slacker.
I haven’t, again, posted in awhile. Seems to be my M.O. I just can’t seem to find the time, energy, or the creativeness. All the blogs I read seem to reek from creative verbage, pictures, and a purpose. Then there are my posts – boring, uncreative. So anyway, that makes it easier to be a lurker vs a blogger.
Here are some of the highlights of the things I did not blog about:
The idiot checker at Wally World that gave my family the new catch phrase “Is this a cold item?”
Volleyball games/cheerleading/dance classes……ie. kids
I’m sure hubby did something pinheaded to blog about, but I don’t remember
Work/Supervisor—Let’s just say I really need to win the lottery!
Church-our youth pastor just up & quit with no notice-which is really a blessing, because there were issues and the kids didn’t like him, and, I am on the committee that deals with the staff AND I’m on the youth council.
October doesn’t look good for posts either. If I make it to the 18th, I’m home free, but until then..
28 dozen cookies 3 birthday cakes 5 volleyball games 2 meetings 1 team supper 1 cheer supper 1 wedding w/rehearsal Plus working two jobs, and keeping up with the house & kids
I will be lurking, just don’t forget me in my absence!
And now that I re-read this - I sound like a whiner.
September 22 Who is it?So Saturday morning when I got up, I woke Boo so she could start getting ready for Optimist volleyball practice, then I went downstairs to rotate the laundry and wake Tink, she had mentioned that maybe she wanted to help with Optimist Volleyball (some of the high school team usually helps out with this program).
When I got to the bottom of the stairs there was this dark purple addidas duffle bag on the floor. And I’m not remembering that Tink had a dark purple duffle bag although I couldn’t at the time recall just exactly what colors she did have.
I walked through the family room to the laundry room, did my thing, (you know the laundry) came back through, was almost through on my way to Tink’s bedroom when I notice Tink asleep on the couch.
I was like “Tink what are you doing there?” I leaned down and started rubbing her back saying wakey wakey Tink. The body moves, the head lifts and
IT”S NOT TINK.
My brain was working overtime trying to figure out why the face didn’t match the person.
It was “L”, Tink’s friend who evidently came over after I had gone to bed. I don’t know who was more freaked- her or me. Tink had gotten up from the couch and moved to her bed sometime during the night and Tink decided that 9 am was too early to help with volleyball.
