VIVA!

I'm heading out to Vegas tomorrow. I have four days off and plan on spending them in Vegas with my sister and our spouses. It really isn't my ideal vacay, but it's one I can afford and easy to get to and back having the 4 days in which to kick back.

I'll make the best of it, Relax....rejuvenate and renew. And hey? who knows? maybe I'll win a jack pot or two?

It's Been 6 Months

It's been 6 months since my brother John died of the disease cancer. I still remember the night I was on the phone with my parents as they told me long distance that my brother was slipping away, he wasn't going to make a recover and that a ventilator was keeping him alive. It's such a surreal feeling. At the moment he passed I felt a part of me ripped away. A part of me wasn't merely taken, it was ripped, ripped from my heart, my soul, the part of me that makes me who I am. Forever changed!

A couple of weeks ago I was at a restaurant listening to Hawaii music, the guy I was listening too, was from Maui also where John lived so naturally my thoughts went to John. Not even a minute there after the musician started playing this song.

It was truly a message that I will cherish! Love and miss you John!

Late For Work...

You don't know the great pains I go thru to write this blog. Like right now how my right pointer finger is throbbing from the pain of burning it on the toaster oven, yet here I am so faithful to my blog and it's few followers. hehehee.

So anyway I woke up at 6am this morning along with hubby...no, no I wasn't making him breakfast, I had to go pee pee. Anyway he goes downstairs and I follow and he sees that Zach is still asleep. Hubby, whose name is Hina says "oh no, I think he had to work at 6am and it's 615." So he gets Zach up and Zach runs out of here like a bat out of hell to get to work. Great we say to ourselves just want we need is an unemployed son. We are trying to get the kid (man) out the door on his own if you know what I mean.

Any who Hina calls me several times today asking if Zach came home. Wondering if he is suspended, fired etc. I say to him that I have no clue. I haven't heard from him all day.

Fast forward to 3:30, Zach comes in the door and says "Guess what?" I bite and say " YOu got fired!" Zach says "No, I didn't start work until 7!" :)

Home in the Evenings mean Changes

Well these new morning hours are kicking my butt! Getting up at 0310 for a 0425 start is UGLY....U -G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi, you UGLY! OH my goodness, this new shift will take some getting used to, but working mornings gives me a chance to be home with the kids in the evenings. For better for worse we are all home in the evenings. That means I can be home to stay on top of the chores, homework and family life in general. In theory anyway :)

Last night the kids and I were all sitting down in the dinning room working on various projects of our own and we were talking, laughing and joking together.

It is going to be fun!!!

CLOROX BLEACH

I feel good enough to get out of bed today and clean up a bit. My plan is to wipe down everything with Bleach. Kill the germs baby! I'll open some windows and let some fresh air in, wash my bedding then I think I'll call it quits from there.

It's payday for me, but instead of going to the bank myself I think I'll send Zach on that errand for me. Later in the day I'll pay my bills and see what I'm left with for the next two weeks till the next pay day. If I have enough mulah I'm going to put some money aside to join a gym. SMILES!

SICKNESS OH MY!

I'm SICK! How sick? Well sick enough to stay home from work, but not sick enough to stay in bed all day. I want to run to the store to get some meds. Something for body aches and pains and some saline nasal spray. My friend Theresa promises me if I can put some saline up my nose my cold will go away faster. I'm trying it, because I'm going to a small concert on Saturday and I want to be over this.

Right now I have to go and flat iron my hair so I am presentable to walk into Target. Never know when the Paparazzi will strike right?

I have two weight loss buddies and we have been using email to encourage one another and keep accountable. It's only day two but I love having the two of them to do this with. One of them is my niece and one my sister in law. The sister in law is the MIL to the niece if that makes sense.

Toodles!

Give me a Break

This is not my own original thought, I heard about this skit on Talk Radio, yes people CONSERVATIVE radio. This is a skit done on SNL. Remember all those Sarah Palin skits they did? The ones about what a dumb idiot she was and she could see Russia from her front step etc.? Well CNN and MSNBC were so shocked and horrified by this skit on the President that they actually defended President Obama in their news broadcast.

Watch Wolf Blitzer defend President Obama from the above SNL skit.

This is why I get irritated with news shows like CNN and MSNBC and the national news broadccast etc. I haven't watched the news on tv in years. I watch only Fox News, and read blogs online for my political news fix.

Just the other day on MSNBC a New Caster said that the Republican Party wants half of America to die.

I get so tired of reporters not reporting the news, talk about misinformation? I've decided to call them on stuff, they freaking SUCK!
