A very special Happy Mother’s Day to my Mommy...THE best in the world.

I love you!

I did buy myself my own mother’s day present.  I got a new digital camera.  I just got it yesterday, so I’ve only taken a few photos (which are now on my Flickr page).  I love it.  Since I bought myself something I told my family that I would love for them to HELP me (notice I didn’t say just do it for me) clean the house up so that I’m not always having to do it myself.  I live with such pigs. Why is it so hard for them to pick up after themselves?  I work full time then have to come home to clean and cook.  It’s getting old.  Especially when the kids are well old enough to do a little to help out.  We’ll see how long this lasts…

In other news, I’m needing a change or something.  I really thought by getting my blog into a new format (EE) would help boost my blogging interests.  I DO want to blog and have lots I could blog about, but this blog is a bit too well known for some people.  So maybe a change is in order.  I don’t know.  Even my son has this url I’m sure.  He doesn’t read it, but he could.  Not that I have anything on here that I wouldn’t want him to read, but you know what I mean.  I need an outlet to help release the built up stress in my life.  Suggestions??

I’m going to spend the day with my Mom for Mother’s day.  Mommy’s always make things better.

This weekend my hubby will be going on a short trip and my son is going to be doing a field trip with band which ends with a few hours at an amusement park.  He has to be at his school before 7 am tomorrow and they are not expected back until 11:45 tomorrow night...if they are lucky.  See they will be coming back from Williamsburg area and let’s not forget that the Richmond race is tomorrow too.  Can we say traffic?  So I asked my mom if she wanted Brianna for the weekend so I wouldn’t have to get her up extra early tomorrow or keep her up extra late tomorrow night.  So I have a free Saturday pretty much all to myself.  I wonder what I can get myself into?  I know a pedicure will be had, and I’m sure I’ll clean the bathrooms because they need it and no one else is coming in here to clean it (although I keep wishing).  Then maybe a little shopping or something.  I do need to work on some things for the office which I may do tomorrow evening while waiting for the boy to get back from his trip.

Other than that, my life has been pretty boring.  I kinda like it like that though.

Anyway, it was back to work today and I was busy as ever.  It did make the day go by a little faster since I’m pretty much draggin my ass all day today.  Hubby left for a weekend trip and of course I do not sleep well when he is not here so I am SUPER tired. He got home late last night too so that meant going to bed late for me.  I’ll be lucky if I can keep my eyes open past 9 pm tonight.

Well I must get back into the routine of my life and figure out something to fix for dinner and wait for a load of clothes to finish washing.

Happy Birthday Fool!!! and Happy Birthday Brett!!!

Hope you have a fantastic birthday!!

Misty and Shelly do you see that?!?...it’s called the SUN.

Finally.

The rules of the contest required each finalist to compose a four line poem in one minute or less, and the poem had to contain the word “Timbuktu”.

The Duke graduate went first.  About thirty seconds after the clock started he jumped up and recited the following poem:

“Slowly across the desert sand
Trekked the dusty caravan
Men on camels, two by two
Destination--Timbuktu”

The audience went wild!!!  How, they wondered, could the redneck top that??  The clock started again and the redneck sat in silent thought.  Finally, in the last few seconds, he jumped up and recited:

“Tim and me, a huntin we went
had three whores in a pop up tent.
They was three, we was two,
So I bucked one and Timbuktu.”

Co workers asked me “oh where are you going exciting on you vacation?” I said HOME.  I’m a home body. I like my home and I like being home.  Yes I’d love to be going somewhere if the worlds aligned right and all but this week I’m on vacation at my own house.  No I will not be lounging on my ass doing nothing all week.  I do have plans like cleaning, laundry and more cleaning.  Throw in an oil change for my car too and whatever else I can conjure up.  The best part is I am NOT AT WORK.

Today may be a lazy day since I didn’t sleep that well last night.  So probably a laundry day and watch some good old TV or a movie with my daughter (who is also here with me all week).

At any rate, while you are at work slaving away, remember....I’m on VACATION and at HOME. tee hee

Stupid oil people.  Stupid government for not doing something more to help.  Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!

Something has to be done.  What are you doing to save gas/mileage?  What are some prices where you live?
