New post in the private blog.

I Need Some Cheese

Cuz I have plenty of whine. 

*huge sigh* 

I hate being miserable.  I hate being so hot I can't get cool, but the minute I do, I'm freezing.  I hate headaches that won't go away.  I hate being achy.  I hate PMS.  I hate being grouchy and I hate being sick.  I'm not really that sleepy right now, but I don't feel like doing anything either.  Which is why I'm here, whining. 

And since I hate whining, I'm going to stop now. 

Maybe with my extended time of fellowship with the lovely couch, I'll feel like blogging something of greater importance later. 

Blech.  Anything would be more important than this.  A detailed report of the hairball that I just witnessed....well, maybe that wouldn't be more important...at least not by much.  Ha.

My sense of humor isn't sick....or maybe it is.  LOL. 

But hey.  I'm laughing.  That is better than I was doing at the beginning of this post.  Progress, eh? 

Pretty Sure It's The Flu

Cuz I'm downright miserable. Started getting all achy on Monday and last night started running a temperature and REALLY achy. Hasn't stopped yet. And I have to go get the kids from school. And take them to get their flu vaccines second half....

Fun.

Later.

Not Doing So Great

Trying Out Live Writer

On the recommendation of (the other) Faith, I decided to download and try Windows Live Writer and so far so good.  It downloads the settings from your blog and it's like you're typing directly into your blog, not in the post screen (that drives me crazy when I hit publish and the way I typed everything out is all changed). 

So basically, I'm checking to see if this is going to publish differently than it looks when I'm typing.  

And wow.  The way it loads pictures is thousands of times better....you can change all the settings right there without having to delete and re-upload if you got the placement or size wrong.  It even does borders and everything.  WOW. 

So far so good.  What else shall I test.  Okay how bout a map? So here's a map.  Look you can even do pushpins.  How fun.

A Map of Montana

 

 

 

 

Oh cool...and I don't have to play around to make my text fit down below it!!!  Woohoo!  And apparently spell check is automatic b/c it's telling me that Woohoo and b/c are not spelled right.  HAHA.  Nice. 

Well, okay now....I'm gonna post and see what happens. 

Catcha later!

*EDITED TO ADD: Wow....that was perfect....how cool! (Giant thank you to [the other] Faith)*

Weekend Woe

Actually it wasn't really that woeful, except for the fact that I did another "three day posting absence" kind of thing. I guess some people wouldn't consider that "woe."

LOL. OHHH well.

Been staying busy.

Have nothing really important to say except that K-man's antibiotics for ear infection are making potty training quite difficult. *SIGH*

And really....that's not that important. Only about 2 more days of that.

Oh and my alternate (read: evil) state of mind (otherwise known as PMS) appears to be gearing up for a lovely time of it. Stay out of my way. Consider yourself warned. No further comment. (LOL!)

Even that is totally unimportant (unless you live with me...hahaha).

Seriously....I have nothing of the slightest bit of interest to talk about. My busy life, but I've posted enough schedule for awhile....must find something better to talk about. I'll put that on my to-do list.

Thanks for reading this woefully unimportant post. Your day (or night) can only get better from here, right? *grin* That almost rhymed. (wincing)

Later!

A Crockpot Flop

I tried Mac & Cheese. Blech!

It should have turned out right. Smelled good. But it had a weird weird texture and taste that was totally not creamy velveeta. Maybe we're just spoiled.

Extremely funny though that K-man, who doesn't even LIKE mac & cheese, ate it and said it was good.

Oh well. I'm entitled to a few flops right?

At least I didn't do a pathetic job on the house cleaning today. Something in my favor anyways. LOL!

Oh yeah, Munchkin has a viral infection. Not strep, not ear infection (at least not yet, thank goodness). Still fever on and off, so I guess she'll be sticking with me tomorrow, too. If she feels better I may still try to do my errands tomorrow and just let her tag along. I'm sure she'd love that. She told me she would rather do that than go to school. HAHA.

Later!

This Crazy Thing Called Life

Wow, where do I start?

I apologize in advance if I be ramblin tonight b/c my life is all tangled up in knots right now and I'm spending all my time trying to untangle everything.

Monday - Math tutoring, errands in town
Tuesday - Moving the rest of the sod patch the neighbor was getting rid of, to our yard full of bare patches that we call a lawn. (She's extending her flower bed out into her yard a ways and didn't want to kill the grass when we could totally use it. I have one thing though...the grass that was greener on her side of the line? Is totally not as green now that it's on our side!! HAHA. Actually it is getting green again now that I've been watering it in good...hahah) Oh and I also finished up the scrappy magnetic calendar that I started over a year ago at the last convention....I'll post that project and pictures later.
Wednesday - Physical/TB test for foster home license renewal, returning the wrong sized air filter that I bought on Monday (that was like $17 bucks), deposit a check, pick up some groceries, get a land line hooked back up to the house so that our fire inspection will pass, reschedule the kids flu shots since I almost missed the fact that I double booked tomorrow morning, church, got home and Munchkin's running a fever (I knew she wasn't acting like herself)
Thursday - IEP Meeting with Munchkin's speech therapist first thing in the morning, school picture day for the kids, KC's parents for supper and Mr TechSupport to work on some computer issue (not sure how all this stuff is going to factor in with Munchkin being sick tonight)
Friday - Back to the doctor for TB test read, thinking about going back to the town I used to work for lunch again (I went through my books faster this time although it doesn't seem like I was reading that much, but I need another library fix, plus this is thrift store 1/2 price sale week at all three stores down there, and I'm still looking for Munchkin a winter play coat. I didn't realize until I got all the winter stuff unpacked that the only play coat she has is for temperatures between 55-68F), licensing home visit to check the house over...not that it's changed any in 2 years except the last time they visited, we were childless and the house stayed clean after I cleaned it. HAHA.

Anyways....Monday - Wednesday is a rundown of actual happenings. Thursday and Friday are possible plans....now that Munchkin is seeming to get sickly, the plans may change....there may be a doctor visit in there that is not for me.

I wanted to get the load of laundry in the dryer folded and put away today but that didn't happen. I also need to do a little basic housecleaning sometime between now and Friday's home visit, so I forsee myself scrambling to get some of that done tomorrow between the IEP meeting and time to pick up K-man and I'm not sure where Munchkin is going to fall in that picture yet.

Seems like I had other thoughts running through my head when I opened this post, but now I can't think of them. Oh well.

Oh yeah, one thing. I'm not going to link this b/c I never got a response to the comment I left this person and if I freaked her out with my comment at least she won't see a whole bunch (okay who am I kidding?....FIVE) people flying to her blog from here, but for you people that know me, go open a new tab and in the address bar, type in walkwithmebyfaith (dot) blogspot (dot) com and go look at her blog. Go look and then come back.

Are you back yet?

How bout now? LOL. Just playin. Anywho, how strange is that? She's only been bloggin about six months, but from what I can figure, she must be around 2 years older, married 1 year longer, hubby's names start with the same letter, OUR names are the same, we both sing in church choir, read some of the same blogs, the whole kid issue (or lack there-of)....it just keeps going....

Anyways, she seems to have it so together and so crafty on top of it. This Faith is sadly lacking in the "Having it together" department...and in the sewing department....and we won't even get into the pointless blogging department (except to say that I'm the one that's got that one covered). Ohhhhh wellllll. I'm trying to retain my normal color (for a few moments there I was feeling a little green monster trying to change my colors....LOL!!)

If she responds, I'll let you know. Speaking of responses, I need to go check those people I tagged a few weeks ago....the randomly chosen strangers...I've never gotten any response from 6 out of the 7....is this how Jesus must have felt when he healed the 10 lepers and only one came back? Ya try to be nice and nothin but rejection. *sigh* Oh well.

And on that ever-so-positive note...I think I'm gonna hit the sack.

Later!

This Is Bad

Totally not homemade or crockpot fare, but this pizza ROCKS!!!

I think they might even be buy one/get one at Food Lion for a few more hours (I think Food Lion's sales change on Wednesday morning).

This was supper tonight and KC even allowed me to have FOUR pieces of pizza (LOL to Mike/Amanda).

For the rest of you who would be like, "huh? What's she talkin about?" Well, I had to miss church Sunday morning to take the K-man to the doc, and apparently my name was brought up (I'm not really sure how) about how they saw me eat 4 pieces of pizza and couldn't believe it (yeah, i'm not really that skinny, so I don't know why that's a big deal) and someone else commented to KC later, that it was because he wasn't with me and he didn't allow me to eat more than two pieces. LOL. Hah. They are just soo funny. *grin*

Whatever, but this pizza is just awesome!! And baked on a stone makes it that much better!
