Payday...great, but sucks
If you are in the military or a military spouse you will know what I am talking about. The 1st and the 15th are our paydays. I love payday, don't get me wrong, but everything that comes with it sucks. Today I had to babysit, so after that which was after 2:00 pm I had to get everything I needed to get done before the weekend. I had to go pay rent, go to the bank, go to the commissary, in which was PACKED. I also had to pay all the bills this morning. Stuff like this can get me exhausted in no time. This weekend we also have to go school shopping for Zander....because Brandon is leaving again very soon and he just came home last weekend. So much to do around payday I swear. Do you gals feel the same or is it just me?
Sleep...what's that
My little mini vacation from babysitting ended yesterday, but today is Friday. I got so use to going to bed late...waking up without an alarm, it felt so great. Even though I am in my mind 20's, I love to sleep in and yes people my child does also. Yesterday my alarm went off and I actually feel back to sleep, I just ignored it and the hubby kept poking me for me to get up. Well, this morning I got up earlier than I usually do. What happen was I woke up and the hubby wasn't in bed, he gets home around 4 in the morning and it was a little after 6. Well, he was in the living room, it was so quite in the house that I got up and went looking for him and was going to call to see if it was still at work, but he was eating pizza rolls at 6:00 am in the morning....guys. Anyways, so he comes to bed and I was trying to go back to sleep and he just kept talking what time do you have to get up.....wake me up at this time....just on and on. I love him, but all I wanted was just to go back to sleep. I ended up getting up because he wouldn't stop moving so now I am super sleepy. It is funny actually....lil man got up looking for me wanting to go back to sleep, so where did I stick him...in bed with the hubby. Tomorrow hopefully I will get to sleep in.
Talking about sleep I am kinda dreading when Zander starts to school, because that means waking up early 5 days a week. I have done it before it is just that I have to get use to it. I have to learn to go to bed a little bit earlier than what I usually do. Need to only get on the computer to do my homework and to check my msgs and then get my butt off.
Anyways, I am off of here the kids I babysit should be arriving in a couple of minutes. I hope everyone got a goodnight sleep and got to sleep in.

Luck....yeah right..can you say bad luck
My bad luck started Sunday when I woke up. Come to find out the cable wasn't working at all, so I called and they came out first thing yesterday. Yesterday their server crashed so not only my cable was out my Internet was out to. Life without cable or Internet SUCKS, by the way. This morning the guy came out and fixed it thank god.
Continuing on with my bad luck Sunday I went to have my hair highlighted and trimmed. Well, the woman that done my hair wasn't paying attention at all. She kept on talking about her stalker guy and playing with her friends hair while she was highlighting mine....so she told her other friend to wash out my hair and the top of my hair was almost white and the rest of the highlights from root down was a darker blonde. She fixed it and the problem was solved. Then she started cutting my hair and I told her split ends and dead ends off so a couple of inches gone. Well I noticed yesterday I have a lot of split ends she probably didn't even take 1/2 inch off of my hair. So I am NEVER going back there.
Oh the bad luck isn't over just yet.....Yesterday we went to the movies and messed around at a couple of stores. Came home in the AC is BROKE. I called the homeowner and he is suppose to have a guy come out today, but I haven't heard nothing from his guy that fixes the unit. I called the homeowner back and I am waiting on his call. I am just thinking god that it isn't that hot outside at all. This is the reason at this very moment I do not want to be homeowners....at one point I thought it was a great idea to buy a house, but after I take a closer look into it things like this that happens to your house if you don't have a lot of money saved or not have debt....you are going to put yourself in a money pit trying to fix things like this.
This week as only begun I am pretty sure the bad luck isn't over yet...wonder what it is going to be next?

Starting a new week
The in laws have been in since Thursday and the hubby got in yesterday. I am happy to have him home. Sadly the in laws are leaving us tomorrow and it is going to be months before we will see them again, hopefully they will come in for Thanksgiving. We have had a blast while they have been here, minus the HOT weather that we are having, temps past 100 really suck. I am ready to start the new week though and get everything back to normal. Talking about getting things back to normal, this morning I woke up and my cable isn't working at all. There is this error msg on it...stupid FIOS. First thing in the morning Verizon will be here to fix it, but I miss ARMY WIVES tonight. I hate missing it, but thank god for on demand. They better have it on demand tomorrow where I can watch it.
While the in laws have been here we got new tires for the truck, which they helped us with. My father in law grounded me from driving my truck till I got new tires, so of course I got them....a southern girl has gottas to have her truck. I love having them here they help out a lot with lil man and they bought hubby's Christmas present early because he is going to be deployed for the holidays. Plus, I am going to miss the good ol' southern cooking for the dad.
This week I start a new college class which I am excited about, but I have enjoyed my 2 weeks off from school...not writing papers, not checking in everyday for school.....LESS STRESSFUL it seemed like. School, school, school...my lil man starts preschool. I know I am being a huge baby about it, but him going to school all day is a huge change for the both of us. But on a good note I am very excited to go school shopping for him, I think we are going to start school shopping this week.
With everything said...I think I have said everything I wanted to say...I am going to go and spend time with the family.

I hate credit card companies
I freaking hate credit card companies. Best buy up their interest rates so our payment went up a dollar. The statement was late for some odd reason coming in the mail and I paid what w usually owe. The statement comes in a day after the bill is due and it is a dollar more. So, they are charging us a 40 dollars late payment fee for $1...I mean what the crap. So, we called and they dropped it down to $20, but still it was only a dollar. I cannot wait till we are out of debt were we do not have to deal with companies like this. They are stupid I swear a huge charge only for a dollar.

An alright day
Today my day started out a lil bad. Medical sucks 99.9% of the time it seems, while on Tricare Prime it seems that way. The doctor refuses to give me a referral when they have no appointments this week available, all they told me was to go to the ER when it is not an emergency, but I need to be seen. So, for the first 2 hours of me being up I was calling a bunch of numbers and still have no appointment. Thinking tomorrow I am going to go face them in person.
After putting up with a lot of dumb people with medical I decided to take lil man to the park, but first of course he ahs to have his John Cena cup from 7-Eleven. I agreed to get him one. So, we go into 7-Eleven and they have 4 wrestling cups and they have only 3 stakes sitting there and what is my luck the one that is missing is John Cena. Zander at this point is telling me he wants no other cup, but the john Cena cup. We walk up to the counter and the older woman looks at me like I am stupid because Zander is demanding for this cup. The younger lady walks over there and starts pulling out all of this cups from the dispenser till she found Zander his John Cena cup. I am so glad that she found one or I would of been stuck going around to 7-Elevens all over town till I found him that freaking cup. Now he is carrying around the action figure that comes off of the straw.
At the park, while Zander was playing I decided that today I am going to start getting things down that are on my "bucket list". Today me and lil man went for a mile walk and after we came home I decided to mow the yard, which I consider my workout for the day, lol. I am going to work out everyday from now on even if it has just to be walking. After 30 days I will mark it off of my list. Also, Day 1 without eating fast food, YAY. I find myself a lot of times being lazy with not cooking when the hubby isn't home, but I want to break myself from that. If I can go 30 days without eating fast food I will be happy.
Tonight I have to clean and wash clothes...Why, my in laws are on their way way down, they will be here tomorrow. I am so excited to have them here. They seem like the only ones from back home that ever comes up here to see us anyways. Plus, I love my father in laws cooking. He can cook and I don't complain when he is here because I get to have country cooking. Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know that kind of cooking is bad for me especially when I am trying to lose weight, but it is only for a couple of days. Talking about losing weight I am hiding my freaking scale. I have a bad habit with almost stepping on it everyday, so I figured if I hide it and only weight myself once a month it would probably make me feel better. I want to lose 40 pounds which will put me down to the size before I got pregnant with lil man. I am determine to get back down there.
Well, I am off to clean and do laundry....Oh what fun...but as we all know it is part of being a mommy and a wife.

I'm BACK
It has been a VERY long time since the last time I have blogged, but don't worry I'm back and hopefully no more long breaks. I have finally got my blog page almost like I want it so you will see a lot of changes to my page. Hopefully I will also start back on photography and of course graphics if I ever find the time.
So, so far it has been a very long summer, hot to the extreme, mother nature needs to make up her mind on what kind of weather she wants to have. This year and weather has been something else. First, started the year off with snow, A LOT of snow and now it is hot, to hot if you ask me.
Since I have blogged last I have made new friends and sent some other ones packing that I felt like I could not trust or just not my "type" of person I like to hang around with. I love meeting other military wives because we are all going through the same thing and I feel that a civilian wife wouldn't know what we have to go thur. Plus, when the hubby's are away our friends are our families and we depend on each other to get thru the long, sometimes rough, and hard months. I want all my wonderful friends to know I love them dearly.
On to the next subject, I am so excited that my lil man starts preschool this year. I am hoping to find me a great job in the criminal justice field, I am going to miss him when he is at school all day long. I love to babysit the kids I am watching right now, but it is time for mommy to go back to work, which I won't probably do till I find that right job just for me.
Well, I am going to go for now I am going to go relax in the pool, lol.
