I am gonna wait over 2 hrs to get my car inspected after not sleeping all night or the day before..... SOOO it's home to do laundy and just relax.....
After some serious surgery on the puter including the transplant of a new power supply and about 6 attempts to reload XP my puter is back up and running well AND all my files/programs survived... YEAH!!!!!!!
Looks like my dad has gotten the go ahead on his health eval report to allow his extension in Korea til Jan when he will officially retire from the US Govt and live in Korea as a private Joe Shmoe..... On a sad note yesterday was the memorial service for his boss who passed away 2 wks ago over there....

BUSY BUSY BUSY man this has been a busy weekend.... I FINALLY have my car up to snuff and ready for the shiney new inspection sticker!!! I now know WHY places like Meineke and Midas will charge you 300 or more to install a new muffler or exhaust system... it's a BITCH!!! BUT I got my new exhaust pipe on the car today and my car sounds or rather DOESN"T sound lovely now!!! I had the windshield replaced the other day - man that was FAST!! I was really impressed w/how quickly they did it... I swear the whole process only took about 30 min or so... I parked the car over in the public access area near the ATM and they came and changed the glass... all for the low low price of $200!! Well there goes anything extra I might have had for the next few weeks...
Other then that not much else happening... My power supply is acting up at home so I am limited to work access for a bit (TG I am working nights thru the 8th) but will be around as much as I can.... I better go - got alot to do here tonight.... Til next time....

SOOO it's been a slightly busy week for me.... We didn't really do anything spectacular for Deven for his birthday but he had a nice day.... I feel sorta quilty not doing anything over the top for him but we did send in cupcakes on Monday to school and I took cupcakes w/us to camp yesterday.... He seems to have had a great time overall.... He's enjoying camp but man it tires him out... I managed to make a small amount of leaway (sp?) w/the house - the laundry is almost caught up... only 5 loads to go! *L* Then I will sort, fold and put away... I managed to find the counter, only to add a few things to it again! *L* But I did get the yard looking much better and the pool is up... I am working a few extra hours tonight to put towards the great trip to Canada in 2 wks.... actually TWELVE DAYS!!! I sooo can't wait!!
I have switched comment systems so that people can leave comments.... I better run, gotta do a little paperwork then I can just veg the rest of the night.... Til next time...

*sigh* At this time 6 yrs ago I was blissfully doped up via epidural and not feeling much of anything other then inescapable pressure... I still can't believe my BABY is gonna be 6 today at 3:02 pm.... WHERE has the time gone??? I remember when he was still sooo little and my short 7.5 wks home w/just him, his 1st Thanksgiving, his first trip to the ER at 3am that morning, his 1st Xmas, when he first walked (or ran in Deven's case!).... And now he's done w/Kindie and headed for 1st grade!!! We have been through soo much the past 6 yrs, esp having him diagnosed ADHD and bipolar this past yr, our trials w/the medications and yet he's still my baby.... MY BABY is SIX!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEVEN!!!!! I hope your day is wonderful and you enjoy every minute of being six!!!!! {{HUGS}}}
Ok so I am in a funk lately and I just can't seem to get the fog to lift... My house is a disaster area waiting to be condemned and I just don't care.... I am TRYING to weed thru the laundry and pick up here and there.... I am TRYING not to let the dishes overrun the sink and I am TRYING to just do more of everything but I am really failing at it all...
I miss my friends... I miss the conversations, the laughter, the comraderie, the warmth of the close circle of friends... I MUST do something about it all and do something quickly I think... Just as soon as I can clear my head....
There has been sooo much happening in my life lately I feel like I am on a merry go round that just won't stop... I had a job interview for a small promotion on Tues and I think I did ok - I should know one way or another next week I think... Then yesterday evening I had a phone interview for a lateral in Alabama and I think that went ok... although the more I thought about the more I realized if offered the job I won't take it and when they had asked that I said I would unless I had a better job offer... *sigh* I see myself lying to them gently to turn them down if I do get offered the job... I am waiting to see how I fair w/the local job announcement that would mean a big promotion w/i 3 yrs...
Deven is officially done w/school for the yr and TG as it was a rough year as all of you know from following my life... The boys are now in summer camp at the preschool... They LOVE IT!!! Well sorta... Deven has been exhausted the past 2 days being in the big kid class where they are busy busy busy all day and don't nap and Dilen had a rough start when some brillant mind decided to move him to a younger class downstairs w/a different teacher... the poor child cried for over 1/2 hr at the door before the director finally said ENOUGH!! You can't do this to my boy and sent him back up to his room/teacher where he had been all year... God I love some of the women at that school for how they really care and look after the boys... And I got a great compliment on Deven after his first day when 2 teachers familiar w/him said they didn't even realize he was w/the class he was so good!!! Ahhhh it does my heart good to hear that.... I am volunteering at the school 3 days a week, W-F from 9-4 and working on getting them to give me those days free for the boys but even if they don't I am enjoying spending time w/the kids and helping out at the school...
My mom is coming to visit and help me whip the house back in order and to finish painting the hall at a minimum... She should be arriving Sunday and only staying til Weds or MAYBE Thurs.... Just a short trip to help me out... I really do appreciate her being willing to come do this but I do pray it's merely a SHORT visit and she doesn't try to angle a move back in....
E and I are doing well - he's really trying to better himself and I am trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but there are many days were I really don't see us married thru the end of the year - in my heart I just don't see it happening - there is something missing and it's leaving a huge hole in my heart and my life... But still I am trying....
Well it's off to finish my work before I attempt to grab a cat nap.... Til next time...

Well E has to wait til July 12th to talk to someone at the residential place... *sigh* Now let's just pray he actually GOES since I won't be in town to monitor him to make him go.... But he does seem to be on the right track this time.... slowly but steadily...
I managed to get most of the dishes done, and I have made great progress on the laundry - well it's washed and dryed anyway.... I figure it's a start... Today I hope to do a few more dishes, 2 more loads of laundry and vaccum the kitchen, wipe down the table and vaccum... If I can get that little bit done AND manage a nap too I am head of the game.. just gotta continue to tame and maintain til mom arrives Tues afternoon.... Well it's off to try to catch a cat nap... Til next time...

OMG did a hurricane come thru my house??? Geez!! I almost can't wait for mom to arrive to help w/the cleaning and such.... And then a dear friend has bought me a day of cleaning but I don't know... my house is sooo icky I just feel odd having a stranger in... I"ll think on that one... I am slowly working my way thru the laundry so that's a start... and I really NEED to do dishes and mop tonight.... I might need a baby sitter for the night and I can NOT have her here w/house as gross as I have let it get...
Now - I know I have asked before and it's probably getting to be a tired story but as MOST know my DH is an active alcoholic and bipolar.... He's made attempts to clean up in the past 9-10 months and hasn't succeeded but he's trying again.... Please pray that he finally gets his act together this time.... Right now he's in an ER being evaluated and such and I have found a place that has a 30 day residential program AND takes our insurance so HOPEFULLY we can get him into something and he will do well....
Well now I better head off and work on the dishes.... Til next time....
