Is this thing made of gold?

I was invited to my sons middle school open house last night. Scout tells me that I need to sign him up for an instrument to play in the band. We get to the cafeteria and see all the instruments and I sit down with this nice man and he asks me which one I need. I tell him that I want to play the trombone and then I turn to Scout and ask him what he wants. He says the trumpet. I was then handed a form to fill out and I questioned the man as to weather I needed my lawyer present or not. They all got a kick out of that. So I'm filling in everything and as it turns out unbeknownst to me that I have to acctually have to pay for this thing. I ask how much is needed and he pulls out a calculator. I know I'm in trouble then but I let him proceed. He tells me the cost of the new trumpet is $1,090.00 and I have to pay $19.00 a month for 58 months. As well as a deposit of $80.00. I finish filling out the form and give him the money. All the while I'm thinking to myself "that was my electric bill money"
After empt

Warning: This is a new post.

Imagine my surprise when I come home from work yesterday to find the managers golf cart in front of my apartment. Now, a hundred horrible things are running through my head...Are the kids alright? Did they get in trouble? How much is this gonna cost me?
I get to the front door and see that the porch is wet and I have a bad flash back to a couple of weeks ago. I swing open the door to find Lori and Mel both with their hands full of my furnishings. I glance down and see that I am standing in water. I look back up to Lori and say "are you kidding me?" I'm sure she saw the dred on my face because she says "I thought I would cry the first time this happened."
Come to find out, Scout had a friend over in the morning that used the bathroom and then the two of them left to catch the bus. The toilet overflowed and ran all day from about 7:30am till Feret got home at 3:00pm. The manager found out when our neighbor saw water in their livingroom.
So there are five fans and two dehumidifiers in my apartment that have to run till at least thursday. They are so loud. Why do these things happen to me? I guess its a good thing that I have a meeting on every night this week, otherwise I would have lots more time to sit in the apartment with the T.V blaring...
And to think that a couple of days ago I was worried about a Hurricaine?

I'm it

Found Mel's blog today and she suggested to post five random tidbits about myself so here goes...
1. My boss lets us smoke in the office even tho it's a state law that you can't. I switched from marlboro mediums to marlboro lights in order to help me quit and now I smoke a half of a pack more. : (
2. I am a single working mother of three busy boys, I work from son up to son down! Scout is 11 turnig twelve in Sept. Feret is 10 and a half (may) and Baby is 10 months today (oct).
3. I love to eat lunch...I will order enough for two people and then bring the rest home for dinner, I am sure this is not healthy but I have no way of stopping this. : )
4. I love to make things and if I can't finish them I get peeved! I made a changing table for Baby when I was pregnant and to me its a masterpiece.
5. I like to watch MTV. The Real World, Laguna Beach... I'm sure I'm too old (31) to be watching these things but its another thing that I am addicted to.

So who's next? Leave a comment and then post one on you blog...Tag Your it...

Kids are funny

We had our school sign-up for Cub Scouts last night. I told Feret that his best friend would be coming. Five min. later he was hitting me and saying that he wanted to go home. I put up with it for a little while and then I had to take him into the teachers lounge. He was not co-operating at all he just wanted to go home. So I packed up the Baby and we left.
By the time we got to the house he was balling. I finally found out that he was upset that Tyler was not there yet and I had to explain to him again that I called his mom and they should be comming. He agreed to come back with me and to behave himself. After we got to the school he apologized to me and he was fine the rest of the night. Even put his uniform back on!
Tyler never showed so on the way home we stopped at a pay phone and he called him. The schools are closed Friday so he asked him if he could stay over. Tyler of course said yes and I brought Feret over.
The sign-up went great. We had 23 kids and two adults fill out apps. Thats a big up from last year eight! Four of the Boy Scouts helped out with directing traffic and handing out papers. Scout even played a game of simon says with them. It's looking hopeful for our Pack this year. In my den alone there were three new boys. Thats seven in all, including Tyler who is transfering from his Pack in Golden Gate. Sorry Pack 505, If you only have one meeting a month your bound to loose some scouts.

Jaymo

So I commented on a newbies blog and they wrote a whole post just for me! How bitchin is that? Very...They have some neat pics and great posts. Leaves ya really wondering about some heavy shit. Hey Jaymo, look on a weather map today and see that a tropical storm is heading my way... Whats your weather like in the UK.
Well folks the only thing going on today is a scout meeting tonight and I hope that we get a good turnout. But with the weather looking as it does I can only hope for the best...

Ha Ha Ha...

I ran into a friend of mine that I met in scouts two years ago. When she found out I was pregnant with Baby last year she offered me a beautiful crib that was sitting in her garage from her other two kids. Well lo and behold she's pregnant now! Leslie has been with Ray for a couple of years now and she told me that he finally proposed to her on the forth of July in a rowboat! The two of them have such great personalities and are fantastic peeps in my book. When she told me that he proposed I said to Ray "Well the damage is done" We all laughed. She also blamed me and said that I cursed her. Too funny. Glad I'm not the only one that had a child well after the first ones!
And the Ha Ha Ha is meant in the nicest way possible...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We have reached a milestone here. This post represents my 50th post! Are we all jumping for joy at this moment in time? Me either. Anyway to continue on with my blog...
I have given away every last one of my Stephen King books, twenty-eight in all. I feel a little upset since I have been collecting them for 15 years but I am also joyed cause the woman I gave them to sounded really nice!
I had a guy respond by email to my ad on match . com. I cant respond back to him tho cause I'm not a member. And I know I have already talked about this but I guess I don't listen to myself! So Mike if your reading this, I am interested in grabbing some wings and maybe we can even throw them at mailboxes! But they would have to be from Buffalo Chips cause I don't fancy any others! Ok I won't be too picky!
Yak at ya'll later

Light bulbs and rubber plants

On Friday night Kathy and Tyler came over to see if Feret wanted to sleep over. Scout, the Baby and I stayed home and vegged out in front of the t.v.
On Saturday morning the three of us went up to Ft. Myers to go to the Scout shop. They have a way better selection there than they do at the Army Navy surplus store down here. They also have the "Scout Buddy" t-shirts I wanted to get for the Baby.
After we left there I asked Scout if he wanted to go see the Edison Ford Museum. So we got lost then asked directions and then found it. We had a great time and the tour guide was really good too. They are re-doing Edison's home so we only got to see the Ford house but they had all the furnishings in the museum. Scout was really interested in everything. Did you know that Edison was able to extract rubber out of a goldenrod weed? We saw the labratory as it had been right before he died. I would love to take the Cub Scouts there some day.
On Sunday I cleaned house and then went over to Kathy's house to help her paint the living room. I really am concidering starting a business... The Do It Yourself Helper I think I could do that. Here's the premise...You get the supplies and I help with the workload. You also watch my kids and cook dinner for us (thats my pay). I should really think about getting paid money but right now food is good to help out some friends!

Girl friday...

Well it's Friday and I have a beef with the bank I go to. I go through the drive-thru five times a week to make deposits for the company. I don't have a personal accout there (or anywhere else for that matter). However the girls know me pretty well and they cash my payroll check without having me come into the bank. When the regular girl is not there (out to lunch or on vacation) one of the two other girls will help me and they will also cash my payroll check. I went there last week and there was a new girl in the drive-thru. She insisted that I come in to cash the check saying that I needed to put my thumb print on it and all. So I park the car and go in. As soon as the regular girl sees me she says "Why didn't you just go through drive-thru?" And I'm like "Oh, I don't know, just felt like walking in instead". So the new girl turns around and says "oh, you know her"? ...Here's your sign...

Hey, and a note to Yer Man...Thanks for leaving an e-mail address so I can respond back to ya. Wish I could hear more of that irish accent!!

Baby food jars

Gave some baby food jars away to a lady that requested them on freecycle. She was really nice. She was going to use them for girl scouts. I told her why I was keeping them and she wanted to know why I'm not going to do it anymore (make snow globes for cub scouts). I told her because my son thought it was for girls. She just kinda laughed. She is going to make x-mas trees and do a science project with them. It made me feel good that I was able to help someone out for once.

The boys started school on Monday and things are going great. Scout had a friend that had gone on vacation all summer and when he came back the kid said that he was not his friend anymore. Scout finally found out why and they have since made up. It had something to do with Runescape. Its a computer game that you play online. Scout used to be addicted to it but now he has a lot more control and he dosn't have to play it when he gets computer time. His friend Timmy has a real problem with it though. He goes a little crazy if he can't play.

I put my last five bucks in the gas tank this morning. I'm hoping that it will make it till tomorrow afternoon when I cah my check. See where I live you have to have a car to get around. I live in a medium sized town. To me Miami is huge and dirty. For that matter so is Ft Myers. We are below Ft Myers (about an hour away) and West of Miami (about 1 1/2 hours) on the west coast of Florida. I work about 5 miles from the beautiful beach and live about 10 miles from the beach. Gas is up to $2.65 and the guy at the gas station said that its going up tomorrow. Just my luck.

Have you ever just scanned through some blogs? I read this one that the guy was living with his wife and she had a boyfriend too! He didn't want to leave because of the daughter and he had some emotional issues. I personally thinks he needs to high-tail it out of there and maybe he will start to feel better about himself, thats what I did...

Weekend

I had a pretty busy weekend. On Friday night I picked up the boys and headed to the mall. Ferret found some shoes (and1)and Scout found some clothes and a pair of Lugz (shoes). Then Scout stayed at Timmy's house and on Saturday morning I drove Ferret to Tylers. After that I picked up Scout and we went to another store so he could buy so Dickies (he got a pair of shorts and a shirt). We went back to Timmy's but Beth was not there so we went home. After we got home she called and asked if we were comming over. So finally about 4 pm we started on her garage. There were signs of rats and then we finally saw one. Mikey picked up a box and it ran across the room! We only saw it that once so its still in there somewhere. We only got 1/2 the room done and we were losing light at 8:30 so we had to stop to clean up and put everything back in the garage. There was sooo much garbage that we filled up two garbage cans and have a pile of stuff in the back yard that need to be thrown out too. In all there is about 52 square feet of garbage!
Scout and Mikey got into a huge fight. They were on the groun wrestling and punching and kicking. I know Scout clocked him good in the face at least once. Mikey is always causing trouble and Scout just had enough of him. After they calmed down we ate dinner and went home.
On sunday morning Scout and I atempted to clean house but it just was not happening. We were both very tired and cranky. At 2pm we went to Rondas house for the scout meeting and we sorted out our calender. Then we went to pick up Ferret and we all came home. They had a hard time getting to sleep and finally about 10pm I ended up turning off all the lights and going to bed myself!
This morning everyone got up on time and on a bus. I got a call from the middle school secretary and they were saying that Scout was not zoned for there. I sain "Yes, he is" and gave her our address. She says "Oh, I see it now" So he missed some school today but I'm hoping that everything is alright.
Oh by the way! When I told Ferret that he has the same teacher he said"No way are you kidding? I'm gonna have an awsome forth grade!" Yeah! at least someones happy...

Pumpkin Pie

So I went to the Kick-off Dinner for scouts last night. I brought Kathy with me and we had a pretty good time. I begged and pleaded for some help recruiting new scouts. And I am told it is taken care of. I sure hope so. I am doing all I can to get ready for this coming year in scouts. I have planned out our year somewhat and I will meet with Ronda on Sunday to do the rest. She is not going to do the leader thing this year and I'm the only other leader left so something has got to be done. On the other hand I already signed the boys in my den to do a skit and I am so exited about it!
Baby had a Dr's apt. today and he is all good. 20 pounds and 28 inches. Now I have to get a new car seat for him! He got a shot and yep he cried! But just till the nurse left the room.
Found out that Feret has the same teacher as he did last year. He should be happy. I think tonight I will take Scout shopping for school clothes and a car seat for Baby then have all day tomorrow to streighten up the house.
Tata for now...

How cute...

Last night I made pumpkin pie to bring to the scout dinner kick-off. It smells soooo good. While that was cooking I made tie slides. Although my idea of the plastic tubes did not work cause I got one that was too small. I used twist ties instead. I started with plastic spoons and filled them with plaster of paris. Then I bent the twist ties and stuck the middle part into the plaster of paris. after about 40 min I popped them out and wahlah. Tie slides. I tried to use marker on them but since they are water based it didn't work. Then I tried a sharpie, that worked. I drew out an alligator and wrote PACK 325 on it. They look cool. The dinner is tonight and I'm very nervous (as usuall)

My legs hurt...

I was at Beth's house on Saturday and she was saying that she needed to paint her living room. I said I would love to do it. I got there at 10 am and started moving the furniture with her son Timmy. Beth and her daughter Kathlene got back from the paint store at 12. It was really fun and with the kids helping we got alot done. But come three o'clock we needed to get the other colors for the dinning room and the kitchen. Off we went to get more paint and the color we got was lime green instead of the sage we wanted. So Kathlene went back to return it and came back with a great color. At about 10pm we finally finished the three rooms. It looks 100% better than before. The living room is now a dark tan, the dining room a sage green and the kitchen is a light blue (counter tops are navy and we wanted yellow but the store ran out of the yellow oxide). Before we painted it was all white!

On Monday night I went to pick up the Baby at my mom's and she asked if I wanted the desk and computer that she no longer uses. I said ok so we began to clean everything off of it and take it apart. We get it home and put it in the boys' room. It looks really good in there.

I have a Cub scout event to go to on Thursday and I need to call the school to confirm that we can at least put up signs the day of sign up.

Thats about all for now...

Jokes

Yesterday afternoon when we were closing up, some of the guys here at work brought a six pack of beer in. I had a beer and thought nothing of it. When I came in this morning Tommy was in Garys office and I hear him telling him that I was drinking on the job. Tommy comes over to my desk and pulles out an empty bottle of beer and the carton from my desk drawers. It was quite funny. I hope that Gary knows that Tommy is joking around.
After Gary had left for some estimates, Tommy asks me to go out back to the shop with him. Hes kinda fiddleing around and the other guys are just standing there. Then he asks me to follow him to the back of the shop. I dont suspect anything so I follow him. All of a sudden Martin comes up behind me and takes a round sticky piece of paper off my back. Not funny Tommy, are you just getting out of middle school? Turns out he had nothing for me to see in the shop and he just wanted to show the guys what he had done to my back.
I guess he's just getting back at me for making him calling one of our customers at 4:30 the other day (closing time) and him being here on the phone with her till 5:30 with a problem she is having with a shower in Michigan. I thought that was pretty funny! Although it wasn't what my intention was. He is quite a talker. I do still have tomatoe hanging on my bulitin board from when he was flinging them at me! I really need to clean it off!
This guy just stopped in here that bought a building a few doors down asking about the neighborhood. I said that we havn't had any problems at all. But I did mention that you had to, on occasion, swerve around the swat cars on the street. We have had a trailer burn down and a rape that turned into a murder. But as far a business goes, not one single problem.
Note to self: Remind Gary to get another dead bolt for the front door...maybe some cameras for the shop and sign up with the alarm system again...

Just a thought

I was singing to myself and I just thought I would put down some old songs that I used to listen to. I have thought of more but its getting boring now so maybe later! All is well.

Yo, vip, let's kick it

Ice ice baby, ice ice baby

All right stop, collaborate and listen

Ice is back with my brand new invention

Something grabs a hold of me tightly

Then I flow like a harpoon daily and nightly

Will it ever stop? yo -- I don’t know

Turn off the lights and I’ll glow

To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal

Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.

Dance, bum rush the speaker that booms

I’m killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom

Deadly, when I play a dope melody

Anything less than the best is a felony

Love it or leave it, you better gain way

You better hit bull’s eye, the kid don’t play

If there was a problem, yo, I’ll solve it

Check out the hook while my dj revolves it

Ice ice baby vanilla, ice ice baby vanilla

Ice ice baby vanilla, ice ice baby vanilla

Now that the party is jumping

With the bass kicked in, the vegas are pumpin’

Quick to the point, to the point no faking

I’m cooking mcs like a pound of bacon

Burning them if they’re not quick and nimble

I go crazy when I hear a cymbal

And a hi hat with a souped up tempo

I’m on a roll and it’s time to go solo

Rollin’ in my 5.0

With my ragtop down so my hair can blow

The girlies on standby, waving just to say hi

Did you stop? no -- I just drove by

Kept on pursuing to the next stop

I busted a left and I’m heading to the next block

That block was deadYo -- so I continued to a1a beachfront ave.

Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis

Rockman lovers driving lamborghinis

Jealous ’cause I’m out geting mine

Shay with a gauge and vanilla with a nine

Reading for the chumps on the wall

The chumps acting ill because they’re so full of eight balls

Gunshots ranged out like a bellI grabbed my nine -- all I heard were shells

Falling on the concrete real fast

Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas

Bumper to bumper the avenue’s packed

I’m trying to get away before the jackers jack

Police on the scene, you know what I mean

They passed me up, confronted all the dope fiends

If there was a problem, you, I’ll solve it

Check out the hook while my dj revolves it

Ice ice baby vanilla, ice ice baby vanilla

Ice ice baby vanilla, ice ice baby vanilla

Take heed, ’cause I’m a lyrical poet

Miami’s on the scene just in case you didn’t know it

My town, that created all the bass sound

Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground’cause my style’s like a chemical spill

Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel

Conducted and formed, this is a hell of a concept

We make it hype and you want to step with this

Shay plays on the fade, slice like a ninja

Cut like a razor blade so fast, other djs say, damn

If my rhyme was a drug, I’d sell it by the gram

Keep my composure when it’s time to get loose

Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice

If there was a problem, yo -- I’ll solve it!

Check out the hook while deshay revolves it.

Ice ice baby vanilla, ice ice baby vanilla

Ice ice baby vanilla, ice ice baby vanilla

Yo man -- let’s get out of here! word to your mother!

Ice ice baby too cold, ice ice baby too cold too cold

Ice ice baby too cold too cold, ice ice baby too cold too cold

Ricky was a young boy

he had a heart of stone.
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town.
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.
He had no money, oooh no good at home.
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it’s18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it’s18 and life to go
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline.
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.
They say he loved adventure, ricky’s the wild one.
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.
Bang bang shoot ’em up, the party never ends.
You can’t think of dying when the bottle’s your best friend
And now it’s 18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
Accidents will happen they all heard ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away.

Body and beats I stain my sheets I don't even know why
My girlfriend she's at the end and she is starting to cry
Let me go on like a blister in the sun
Let me go on big hands I know your the one

OVER THE HUMP...

I seem to be a bit aggitated when I get home these days. I have simply run out of patience with Scout and Ferret. They are really driving me up the wall. Scout will antagonize Ferret to no end. And when I ask him to stop he says "make me!" Ohhh I could just...just...
I got home yesterday and they started with the Pokemon cards. "Mom Scout stole my holigrafic Bulbousaur." I ask Scout if he took it and he said "no." Then ten min later he grabs his deck of cards and shows them to Ferret. Guess whats on the top of his deck? Yep! The same card that Ferret just said he stole. So Scout says "Yeah, well you took my Charzard" (or whatever) From that point on I could not get them to stop arguing. Very fustrating!
I finally get the Baby to sleep and sit down to watch some (M)TV. (Yes, I am a MTValoic) and after about a half hour Scout decides to run a remote control tank into the living room. That would have been fine at any other time but the Baby woke up and I was a little POed. So I ended up being up for another three hous and not getting to bed till midnight. Ugh!
I hope that they are just getting cabin fever and not having a change in their usual character. My boys are usually very sweet and a bit mischeivious. I just learned that the other day the went knocking on doors to borrow viniger and baking soda to make rockets. I know that I have tought them better than that but they were with another two boys who must be a bit braver than my two.
I think another reason that they are acting out is because school starts on the 15th and we have not gone clothes shopping yet. Scout starts his first year in middle school and he wants to make sure he has the "right" clothes. Rick had better fork over some dough!
And speaking of hump...I really need to find a boyfriend! I heard on five different occasions this week that men like women my size. So whats the problem. Oh I know, I am way to picky and have no self esteem. I do think that I am pretty and all but when I meet people I think that I have nothing to offer them. But, Yesterday while I was a work one of the guys came in to cool off for a bit and he started telling me his life story. I am a very good listener and I have excelent eye contact! I don't have much to say but I will always listen. He told me that his girlfriend back in argentina would always say that she would never get married or have kids or be happy, then he came here to start a good life for them and he got a call from his mother that she (his girlfriend) killed herself! I started to cry right then. I think he blames himself cause she never liked him doing drugs or drinking and he never stopped. Also the fact that she used to tell him she was going to die. (She hung herself in the bathroom) He tells me that he wants to stop the using but has no reason to. He also said that when he was in Argintina he had a lot of money from selling but when he came here he lost everything cause the durgs are more expensive and it is more dangerous here to sell. He told me that when he came over on the plane, he had his shoes filled with cocaine. never got caught. I really feel for the guy. He has lost so much. Whereas my lazy ass ex had nothing but good to gain and he pissed it all away.

Fans

I just received my electric bill for last month. Remember the fans that the manager got for my apartment for the flood. They were on for three days streight and it cost me an extra $30.00. WTF! I guess I should be glad that she didn't charge me the cleaning bill.

Note to self: Talk to kids about the importance of a candlelight dinner. Oh shoot I hid all the matches. Scratch that...Talk to kids about making up their own skits and plays for each other so the t.v. wont be on all night! Yeah that should save on the electric bill for next month...

Highlights of the week...

1. Gave away all of my sons GI Joe men on Freecycle...even the one with no legs.
2. Went to Leader meeting for CubScouts with the Baby and he was the best behaved one there.
3. Went to Subway for lunch and ordered a tuna salad and 6 inch BLT...made the woman think the sandwich was for someone else.
4. I read my E-mails while my boss is in his office next to me and then when I hear him get out of his chair I switch back to work related stuff.
5. Played "pencils" with Tommy at work, and broke three pencils, he won.
6. Just banged my knee on the desk and it almost brought me to the floor.
7. I took a moment to regroup and now I am just wondering whose gum is under my desk!
8. My boys made Marshmellow art for me and hung it on the wall.
9. I had to hide all the lighters and matches in the house.
10. Not having power stiring has tightened up my boobs!

And just for the sake of copying another blog heres my lie of the day...I told Coca-Cola to put the lime in!

TYPICAL

Well the weekend has past and I had nothing planned. Dad decided to try and fix my car on Friday night. By Saturday night it still was not fixed so he brought it back to me. I felt really bad cause he tried so hard and he hates working on cars! The power stiring has been gone for a couple of weeks now and we got the part two weeks ago. He put the new hose in and it still leaked then he tried to rig it a different way and now it doesn't leak anymore but still no power stiring.
Rick the kids dad wanted to see the boys on Sat. but I didn't have a car so on Sunday when he called he said think about it and call me back. so on the way out there I called him and he changed his mind and wants to see them next weekend. Typical. I cant count on him for anything. He still has not given me any money and he still wants me to take the child support off. I really need to stop talking to him on the phone but am having a hard time with that. I guess I am so used to him telling me what to do. Oh well I just need to start hanging up on him and hear his threats again.
Farret got his hair cut and the lady did a really bad job of it. I didn't pay for it though so I cant complain that much. He was with his friend Tylor and he was getting his done.
I went with Scout to get school supplies and such. Really didn't have the money but its done now. Ferret will have to wait till next week.
Other than that not too much going on, Later.
