Busy Momma

Well I’m not sure where this post should go. Not even sure if I should be posting it. But I will. I have a feeling a changing of friends is on it’s way. This makes me sad and happy at the same time. Enough said on that.

Here is what I look for in a friend. BTW, I usually hang out with hubby’s friends because I get tired of the crap from women. Just in case you haven’t been reading past posts.
1. No whining. Bitching is just fine. It makes us feel better to get it off our chest. But whining means that you want to rehash it and rehash it and hope that everyone feels sorry for you. I don’t have time for you.
2. No guilt trips. If I’m busy, I’m busy. I will call you. But don’t spend the first 5 minutes of the conversation laying a guilt trip on me. I probably only had 5 minutes for the conversation.

3. Respect that I want to hang with hubby. Yes, I do love to go out with the girls. But, I don’t want to go out and check out guys. I don’t necessarily want to go out and dance with many other guys. I married my hubby for a reason. I know it’s a novel idea, but (shockingly) he is my best friend and we (gasp) enjoy each others company.

4. Get out of the mall. I don’t do malls. The only malls I will walk around and waste time in, have my daughter in them. I will go and spend time with her cause she wants to be there. Otherwise, 4 stores is about my limit. I don’t have enough time to do the mall all day and I definitely don’t have the money!

I’m sure there are a few more, but those are the real one’s that matter. It’s no surprise to most that I’m not a girly-girl. It’s just me. Don’t gasp because I’ve used the same purse for over a year. lol My daughter has a ton of purses already, so I’m starting to use hers. I will be ok. Meet me at the top of the ski lift and we’ll chat on the way down. Oh wait, you’ll have to catch me. I’ll meet you in the bar for a pitcher. I don’t do just glasses of beer. Toast to my new friend!

Someone above has granted me some help. I was still in a bad attitude when I went to internship today. First appointment was a no show, big surprise, so I decided to go to the circuit class and have my ass kicked. Boy did she! She was great. I wrote down the whole thing and plan on using it many times. We ran lines, did wall sits, side stepped the length of the gym, both ways! YAHOOO, I’m going to be rolling out of bed in the morning. lol

So, then I had down time. Went to dinner with a friend and had a good time chatting. Really wanted to go home still, but had a 9 o’clock appt. It was another guy. Did anyone miss that I want to work with other Mom’s? K, this is actually really good because I’ve had to break out of my comfort zone. Not only were both my appt’s that showed up guys, but they were also both 59 years old. lol Both in shape though, so that was cool

Anyway, I’m taking this guy around. He is telling me more and more about why he wants to build strength. Showing me the moves he has to make for his sport sailing, so I’m frantically trying to jot stuff down. Now we didn’t start off the appt. knowing anything about the sailing. lol I did know that he had some bone density issues, but he said he was on medication for that. But, I still changed up his workout to help build some back up. He was happy to hear that was possible. So yada yada, he kept telling me he was happy about all the new stuff he was learning. Stroking my ego, yep, I do have one. I didn’t have the calculation or a calculator to figure out his target weight, too many numbers in my head. So I told him I would get it to him next week, no problem. We did it real fast and I went up to where he was working out, gave him the number which was about where he likes to be anyway and he starts chatting more.

Come to find out, his doc didn’t tell him anything about exercise to improve bone density. He’s merely put him on medication. Come to find out, this guy quit the medication 4-6 weeks ago because he found out one of the side-effects was depression. He’d been on it for a year and a half and was having issues with depression and he’d never before had problems. So we chatted about that a little and he told me how happy he was to hear of this alternative. He has some other things, but we are going to tackle them at a later date. I was not looking forward to this appointment and I really almost passed it on to someone else. I wanted to go home. But it’s amazing how things are put in our space to help us. I am on top of the world right now that I just helped someone feel like there is hope with out medication!!! ON TOP OF THE FREAKIN WORLD! This is why I’m in school. To help educate.

The baskets are stuffed and the eggs are out. It’s freakin’ 35 degrees out. Yes, very below norm here in the Seattle area. The ski resorts have incredible snow still. And I’m sick that we have spent as much money as we can up there. Tomorrow is the last day of ski season and we can’t go. WAHHHHHHHHH Anyway, everything is set and I know they will be happy about it. They each got 2 new pairs of shoes and a new outfit, plus candy. I went to 3 stores to find the damned chocolate eggs with the peeps in them. I don’t think they even know they exist, but I saw them on a commercial and knew they will love them. So I had to have them so I could be the bestest easter bunny ever. lol

Hubby went and hide 70 some odd eggs. Yeah, I know you are supposed to keep count, but I’ve had a couple of beers and don’t give a crap. lol Anyway, I filled the plastic eggs and set the bag for him to put them out and he immediately said, “Finally the best part of the holiday!”. OOOOOOHHH, I’m teary eyed. Daddy loves to hide the eggs and then make fun of the kids while they try to find them. No wonder why I love him so much. tee-hee-hee These kids are going to be so wonderfully twisted as adults. We may actually still want to hang out with them when they get older. lol

On a side note, (see above that we are broke from snowboarding so much this year) our anniversary is today. This is the exact opposite weather of our wedding. It was almost 70 on the day we were married 12 years ago. Tomorrow we will be lucky to hit 50 I hear. Since it’s actually on Easter this year we won’t get any time to ourselves. But we have plans to runaway in May after my graduation. I’m already planning plates of oyster shooters at FX McRory’s in Seattle. bahahahaha

My daughter and her best friend (neighbor) came up with the idea to sell a bunch of their barbies. They made signs and BF’s dad went and put them up. They’ve been out there for only a day and a half and the little turkey’s have made $30! I never make crap at my garage sales. lol Their signs merely say Doll Sale too. Who would have thought it would bring in this kind of traffic. We had cars driving by at 8 and the girls posted 11. roflmao
Needless to say, I have now taken stuff across the street for them to sell. I told them I’d split it 50/50 with them so they are excited. I had planned to take stuff over to my friends yard sale for her to sell, but why bother? Hubby doesn’t want to drag the dining room table back and forth, but I just might have the girls help me. We want that and a coffee table gone too. Boy wouldn’t they be excited to sell that! lol
Moral of the story is if you want to make money at your next garage sale, have some kids do it for you! I’m pretty sure there is a guilt factor in there.

I am going to go through the cached pages in google and copy and paste old posts before I lose them. I seriously hope to get my wordpress back up and running someday, but for now I just have to get them back on here for personal reasons!

So beware of the posts being dated super weird. lolololol

Well I think it’s going to be a bad one. I have even less patience for stupid people right now. I was hit by a minimum of 3 morons at work today. I was ready to bite someone’s head off if I had to deal with another one! And it’s the little things that set it off. ARGHHHH!

Now that said, I had some great laughs with the great members and my clients today. So I know it’s the stupid fuckers that got to me. I hope tomorrow will be better. I have a stacked day so at least it should go fast if it sucks. lol

LOST is on tomorrow and they keep playing all these teasers that we are going to find out so much info tomorrow. YEAH right! I’ll believe that tomorrow night when I see it. lol I’m always more LOST after watching the show than I was at the beginning.

I have to get to a ticketbastard location tomorrow. My daughter wants Jinglebell bash tickets for her bday present and the online charges were horrendous. I’m hoping a couple of them will be dropped by going. Of course I guess I better figure out where the closest one is. I know Freddy’s sells through ticketbastard, but not sure if somewhere is closer. The kids at work will know. Here goes over a hundred bucks in tix and fees!

If there was a doubt, you really don’t know me!

I love my boards, but they are a lot of work. I love being able to go in there and make multiple posts in a day and know that many people that don’t post will benefit from my posts.

But alas, they have been down for about 2 1/2 weeks! WTF? Yes, that long. It’s sad and sick. It was a little thing to a great web guy to fix, but I’d tried a few things along the way and couldn’t do it. Why try to fix it when a professional can go in and fix it in seconds?

So other updates are on the way for the boards and I will hang out on phpbb.com so I can keep better up to date on how to do things myself.

K, the kids have gotten along way too well up till now and I hear major lauging going on in the bedroom. Never a good sign. I don’t see the dog either, EVEN WORSE SIGN! BRB

K, dog is safe, kids are dorks. Time for them to go to bed. They want a sleepover in daughters room and that looks like it will work ok. We’ll see 10 minutes from now where I stand on the issue.

Work was long today. Even with the 2 1/2 hour break so I could run back up here and go to little one’s football game. I’m super glad I did and I need to figure some things out. I really don’t like not being more involved. I don’t know any of the parents on our team and I’m not ok with that.

It was my day off today and I got it off for the most part. The kids were home from school so that was cool, no getting up to take the oldest. I still needed to go train a client and grab a few groceries, but that was only a couple of hours.

But I’ve wasted most of the day looking for and putting up new skins on my blogs. lol I really should have put new boards up, but alas that is not as fun. UGH, the wasted time I’ll never get back. It’s already 6:30 and dinner hasn’t been started, the kitchen is a mess and I have to get up early cause I have an 8 am client.

I guess it happens, at least I got to sleep in. Oh and we have the movie Click to watch tonight.

I really have to start working on tracking down my old posts in google and copy and paste them in here so I don’t have them lost forever.

UGH, I was running around this morning and I usually have breakfast at 7:30ish. I was too busy to grab something and I was really good and took my vitamins earlier. YIKES! I’m finally eating now at 8:20 and my stomache feels so bad. I wasn’t paying attention to the time factor and I know better than to take pills on an empty stomache. I’ll feel better in a few minutes, but boy it’s not the way to start the morning!

So I went to post to my weightloss blog and it’s having problems now too. I’m just going to forget this hosting on my own anymore. From now on I will just stick to my blogger accounts so I don’t have to hassle with it anymore. I’m so done with trying to log into my blog and haven’t it not connect. Now that there are a ton of blogger templates to choose from I don’t have a problem with it at all. So see ya WP, I loved using you, but I’m tired of the hassle. Now I just have to search around a little and find a cool template for the other blogs.

My boards are still down and I’m not sure what I’m going to do about that. I’m tired of messing with them and I don’t really want to hire someone to go in and fix them. But there is so much info on them that it makes me sick to just start over. I guess I better just suck it up and hire someone to help out and fix them before I lose all of my visitors.

So let me know if there are any good blogger template sites you have out there.
