So.....How do I even begin....Took Jerry and Zack to breakfast. I love going to breakfast! It was really good and we had a good time. So I was driving back..(I drive because Jerry is a speed demon and I didn't want to get pulled over) So I was going about 33 in a 35 on Odlin Road. I passed a cop car and thought glad Jerry's not driving because he would be doing 50 through here ... I smiled to myself..Then notice the cop car pulled out and there was a car behind me and when the lights came on I thought HUH wonder what that guy was doing cause he wasn't speeding...So he pulls over and the cop keeps coming....Then I think Oh must be an accident or something so I pull over and the cop pulls in behind me. SO I start freaking out. Jerry hands me the insurance and registration...I get my license out and my heart is in my throat. I looked at Jerry and he looked at me...I said I wasn't speeding..He said I know...
So the cop comes to the window and I hand out my license. He doesn't take it but walks to the front of the car and looks at my stickers then peeks in the window at me and goes "Oh...Sorry...I saw your parking sticker and it looked like a purple inspection sticker which would be expired. You're fine to go...Sorry." I laugh nervously and the get to heck out of there....
Thanks Mr. Cop for making me pee down my leg today for no reason. I told Jerry that I can't even drive a legal car without getting pulled over for a bad inspection. That is twice in a month...Of course the first time my inspection was out and that is why we got a new car...So I wouldn't have to worry about that stuff....GO FIGURE!
See...Nothing to do with Ingrid...but...I might send the blog police out after her...Or better yet the Blog Warriors. (Cue the dokken song Dream warriors...HEHEHEHE)
I was just going to let it go. Let Jerry and Rick do their best to call Ingrid out and convince her to blog. Then I thought NO! That's not how this crew rolls. No BLOGGER GETS LEFT BEHIND!!! Whether you are in jail or just so terribly bored with your day to day train wreck of a life the BLOG MUST GO ON! In these times of suckiness and unbloggidyness we only have each other. I urge all of you to reach out a life line to those of us who blog slack. Who knows who's life you might save? It might be your own. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but Blog soon. Ask not what Ingrid can blog for you but what you can Blog for Ingrid. For the land of the free downloads and the home of the brave. God bless America. Amen. Cause we are aliens and that's how we roll.............
I have been trapped in this house all damn week.......Sick husband.....Sick kid....Everyone starts to feel better and then is starts to snow.......YUCK!
Zack was pissed this morning when he realized it was Thursday already LOL...He has been so out of it with a fever etc. that he lost the whole week. Poor guy. It sucks to be sick on your vacation.
I have yet to get sick and I feel like doing a dance...(Picture it...I'm doing the moon walk and now the robot!) WHOOOO HOOO I survived!
So my dad sent Zack a 30 dollar Harley t-shirt. Totally awesome of him to do...Does it make me petty though if I make the simple comment that I think it is gross that I had to wash this thing before Zack could wear it because it reeked of cigarette smoke! Geesh....Maybe he is around it so much that he doesn't notice it...BUT it was bad. Zack even went MOM what is that smell? :) Oh...my parents....Love em...but....
This time of year sucks...I think I prefer MUD SEASON to this coldish, crappyish weather. I think there should be a law that says once the snow turns brown it needs to go! Maybe it's just me. I am ready to BBQ. Ready to sit on the porch and feel the sun on my skin. Ready to move to a warmer state LOL......
The guys are feeling better today. 4 solid days of misery for them. I feel bad. I didn't get it though and for that I am grateful. I have been pumping the vitamins to myself so I think that has helped me to not get sick.
On a side note...You know the great thing about having a new car...You can go places and not be worried about breaking down and all that. The bad thing is...Between the down payment, and up coming car payments and increased insurance...I can't afford the gas to go anywhere LOL...Life's a bitch that way. So we are back to being poor. It was a nice run while it lasted. I suppose were not really poor. We just don't have any cash :) Time will correct that I am sure.
Well off to make coffee and all that great morning stuff.
The boys both have the flu. I am really glad that I got the flu shot for Zack. He's been sick 3 times and if this is not the flu that he has then I'll be a monkey's uncle (which is hard since I am neither a monkey or an uncle...) Jerry and Zack are running fevers and both passed out on the couch snoring away. Poor guys. I have been taking good care of them. Which means in Mom rules that upon the moment I get sick I'm on my own. Funny how that works. No rest for the wicked...or Mom's :)
Well here's to hoping that everyone else out there is doing well.
I had some 110 pound chick jump on me cracking my joints and pushing my hips and shoulders back where they belonged. Holy crap!!! I feel like a train hit me right now but she assured me that if I iced my shoulders and took Advil I will feel like a million dollars by tomorrow. I messed myself up pretty bad this winter shoveling and all the stupid stuff I do that I shouldn't. I guess I have one leg longer than the other too...That is always good to know...Helps with the self esteem. Anyway if I do feel awesome tomorrow I will make sure and tell everyone and see how to get Jerry in there to fix his back. Poor guy.
He's working 6:30 until 8:00 tonight and then 6:30 till 5 tomorrow...alternating with the other manager there until the crisis that is Fair Point subsides. In this economy I am holding my tongue about it. He is lucky to have such a great paying job with great benefits and in the end it will be worth it.
If you didn't see the presidential press conference last night you missed some impressive stuff. I was not sure how I truly felt about Obama...I did vote for him though...Boy was he intelligent and confident. I felt like our country might have a chance to pull out of this funk it is in. I loved the statement he made about the senate and the house should stop playing politics and worry about helping the American people. He seems to be representing the people like a president should. I have read over his bill because it is on line. It's very neat to be able to do that kind of thing. ... Anyway enough politics...
Yep that's me Taxi cab to the rich and famous...well to the hubby, sister, and all the kids....(BANG BANG BANG) I don't really have a life right now. Fair Point has kidnapped my husband and he has been working 12 hour days and part of the weekend...(this is just temporary. If you have not heard about the hell that is Post Verizon ... Fair Point then you must live under a rock and I envy you ... LOL) My sister's Truck is scheduled to be repaired starting on the 16th and...God only knows what is going to happen with that...(This too is just a temporary thing) FEBRUARY VACATION comes!!!! Whhhooooo Hooooo! If I had money I would hop a plane and take off for a week....(Not gonna happen) Instead I will be sleeping in....(God doesn't that sound so decadent!!!)
I know I shouldn't complain because some of you don't get February vacation to sleep in. (That sucks !!! and I hope you get some much needed time off too!) I am griping simply about the fact that I run around keeping 6 people's lives in check & All I have learned from the whole experience is thank you GOD!!! You are so wise as to not give me the three children that I wanted to have when I got married....AS IF....I don't know how my grandmother survived having 5 sons..... Of course back then it was "if you want to go somewhere...walk!" God knows I could use the exercise...but Union street is a long ways to walk LOL...
You might have guessed I'm kinda loosing it. I get like an hour and a half to myself a day and I think I start to get a little weird when I am alone. I do productive things like fix guitars and laundry...dishes...blog ARGGGG. I feel like I'm one of the kids in the breakfast club trying to come up with a "WHO AM I" essay......I have no idea today...So I stick the pen up my nose and roll my eyes...Maybe tomorrow it will all be clear who knows.......
