Well it’s the relay for life nite.  I’m not typing this online, I had to work offline tonight, or should I say morning.  lol  It’s 1:25 and I have a pack of 5 twelve-fourteen year old girls walking the relay for me.  They are determined not to sleep, UGH, just for a few hours?  PLEASE?!  I didn’t get any sleep last night because of having to take over-the-counter allergy meds.  They were non-drowsy and decided to kick in at 11:30.  Not good for sleeping.

My friend KC of Connecting Rainbows put this joke up on her blog and it is scarily me.

Last night my sister and I were sitting in the den and I said to her, “I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle to keep me alive. That would be no quality of life at all, If that ever happens, just pull the plug.”

So she got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine.

OMG, I just about spit my wine out onto my computer. ROFLMAO

K, what does this post go in?  Old moments, bitchy day?  lol  Time is just flying, it’s already May 11th!  WTF?  That is the 5th month of the year and I have no idea where it went.

I’ve just figured out that I’m a little tired of being so stressed all the time.  I know it’s part of being self-employed, but not having a regular paycheck is really taking it’s toll on my nerves right now.  I just feel like I live for that next check and I do not like that.  I am going to work on that.  My websites are making more money each month and I have 2 new one’s that should put my monthly over the top enough to pick up another bill with them.  Course that means I need to not SPEND more online as well.  lol  That’s the hardest part.  Budgeting and sticking to it.

K, of course I got an sore throat immediately the next day.  Figured I was coming down with it and was ready to go get tested and just get it out of the way.  But we did move everything around in the house and it has been dusty.  Can’t paint the walls with everything on them.

So as of right now, it is just allergies and my throat is feeling better.  I have a client that had strep the beginning of the week though and two other clients that have sounded like the walking dead.  So I’m keeping an eye on everything and I’m sick of people being sick around me and not staying home.  I don’t want it, STAY AWAY!

So how do you like it?

I know it’s darker, but I really like it. I’m going to go through and adapt some of the things and make it my own. Now that I know how to fix things when I break them. Oh wait, that was the easy part, copy the page before you alter it. lol

I’m working really hard at focusing on the positive.  It’s been pure chaos the last week.  It’s not easy, but I swear it’s the only thing keeping me sane right now.  Kids are on spring break this week, so hopefully it will be a little easier to fit it all in.  I’m taking Thursday off to take them to the zoo, so that will help.

We’re also taking off for the weekend in a couple of weeks.  Were going to the ocean, but I think we may borrow my friends cabin instead.  We are just getting caught up on bills and I really don’t want to go blow a few hundred dollars we could put into savings instead.  Plus then we can bring all the dogs with no problems too.

Yesterday we had snow off and on and big flurries of it, but the roads stayed clear and it rained in between.  So we actually had most of our snow from Wed. night melt.

But no worries.  This morning around 8 it started snowing again and for the last few hours it has started accumulating.  Odd you might say?  Yes, completely odd for the Seattle area.  We may get some flurries up here in the hills through mid April, but never inches that stick around.  It’s supposed to snow all weekend.  I have way too much planned for Sat. to have the weather get bad.  But Sunday is fair game, BRING IT!  I refuse to leave my house on sunday anyway.  lol

Spring has hit and we just had our biggest snowfall of the winter.  lol  Too damn funny.  It couldn’t come at a better time.  I only have one morning appt. and I can postpone that easily.  I’m sorry to need to, but happy I can and looking forward to a snowday!  It’s 11:30 and it’s pretty much quit snowing now.  But we have over 4 inches already and my friend was keeping me updated that they have more in town.  SWEET!

I thought I was just being a wimp but alas I was not.  I had to run the St. Patty’s day dash with a hangover.  Totally my fault, but by afternoon I should have been feeling better.  We had partied the night before and I played with a friends baby all night long.  Well Monday morning I felt really quesy, but I muddled through my 5,5:50 and 6am appointments.  Came home and slept for 45 min, got the kids off to school and knew it would not be a good idea to go to the senior center and hold classes.

They are hit and miss aren’t they?  I did go to the doctors office and they couldn’t fit me in for an actual appointment until Monday (it’s wed.) so I chose to go to the walk in clinic.  I got there at 2:30 because I figured that would be after the lunch time rush and before people got off work.  Not for me of course.  I sat in the waiting room for 2 hours.  Thankfully I had stuff to work on in the car so I literally did not notice that it was really that long.
