Life moves so slowly in the Fast Lane

I have been so very busy here lately, and I just keep adding more to my plate, those around me saying I am taking on too much, but then I get requests for help, so go figure. It seems as though I haven't any time for myself and my husband, yet all I am doing is hurrying around to wait. Hurry and get the babysitting charge to school just so I can wait in line to drop him off at the door, hurry up and get to the school to pick babysitting charge up so I can wait in line to get him in the car, hurry up to all the bill places to pay bills, just to wait in line. Be 15 minutes early for a doctor's appointment just to wait 45 minutes to be seen, but if you are late, then they cancel your appointment. Do you get the picture? And now, for extra money, I am cleaning a few houses as well as babysitting. And I just applied for a receptionist job at the local cable company. Maybe I will have a few minutes to myself to enjoy with my husband, but it doesnt look like it will be anytime soon.

Oh Wow!

Has it been that long already? Another year, another set of useless resolutions that are only useless because I never seem to do anything about them. I always get caught up doing everything else. I keep vowing I am going to loose weight and start exercising more, but those particular resolutions never make it out of January. I always say I am going to get more organized...although that one might be working...I am more organized now than I was 10 years ago, maybe I just need another 1o or so years.... :\
There is that, and the fact that stress never seems to help, and funny, all this time I thought it did. :P

OMG!!! HE GOT ME ADDICTED!!!!

MY husband and I have found that we enjoy playing City of Heroes together.....He got it a couple months ago, and then I got it at the first of the month. I already have 2 characters, one is a level 13 and one is a level 6. My house is a mess and all I can do is sit behind my laptop trying to level my characters up.....it's that addicting. Actually my house isnt that bad, I do my chores before I get on the game. But it is a new toy that I haven't wanted to put down yet.

Butterfly Migration

I really love my husband. The other day he called me outside just to share the sight of about a hundred little monarch butterflies flitting around the backyard. It was a wonderful sight that we just stood cuddling and watching. And then that night we had the joy to experience a Japanese Owl Moth. We were standing outside before bed talking, when this huge creature came up. At first I thought it was a bat it was so big, then we saw it was a huge moth that was absolutely gorgeous. We sat watching it until it flew off and became one with the night.It was a great day.

My house, the Halfway House

Sometimes I think my husband and I will never be alone. We moved one roommate out (he was supposed to go to SC, but ended up in the hospital), but before that, my brother's Ladyfriend moved in, then my brother moved back from Florida to be with her while she finishes out school. Today we are expecting one of the military guys we know back from Iraq, and he is staying with us for a while because of a divorce, then at the end of Septemeber, one of the other miltary guys we know is coming back from Iraq and staying with us til he finds a place. After all this I have put my foot down and said NO MORE!!!!!!!!!! My husband and I have not lived alone in the four years we have been together, and we are quite ready for it. Oh well, at least we are getting rent out of these people. Money is always good, helps pay the bills.

Vacations and Stress

Sorry I haven't blogged lately, but I was on vacation for a month, and then sick. Two days into my vacation, I get a phone call saying my roommate had a stroke. At 29 he had a stroke! And then he was doing ok, and they were trying to find a facility to release him to...a rehabilitative facility. The his stomach ruptured and he went septic, and then he got a blood clot in his leg, and now there is a mass by one of his kidneys. When it rains, it pours for him. And then to top it all off, as we were coming home from our vacation, my husband had to take me to the emergency room for a kidney infection. Lovely, isn't it? All this has just got me thinking about my own health problems and the fact that I am overweight and that was part of what caused my roommate's stroke, and I keep wondering if I am next? Plus I have the blood clotting disorder. I don't know. And then to top it all off, I don't know if I will be able to go back to school this semester or not, I still have to call the college.

Life Lately

I have been so very busy lately.  We went out to dinner Friday night with a friend and her two daughters and ended up taking her to the emergency room with heart problems and they kept her overnight.  We got her two daughters overnight.  Emi is three, and very headstrong, and Katei has hit that impossible age between twelve and twenty-five (she’s 12).  But Auntie Skye gets along great with both of them, as long as Emi isn’t tired.  (
I have been trying in vain to clean my house, and like always, it seems to be a futile struggle.  Oh well, when I pass to the next world, I can say although my house wasn’t clean, I truly lived life and loved it.
I found a cute, new little german café that just opened near my house.  The food there is AMAZING!!!!  Sexx-C and I both had full dinner sized lunches and dessert and I bought two Kinder Eggs and it was only $29!!  Myjic, I am gonna have to take you there when you guys come visit!  Even if it is just for the desserts!  OMG!!!!  I about died it was so good.
Oh well, I guess I had better go clean since I have a few extra minutes before bed.
