Just another manic monday....

Tim was laid off. I've never been the kind of girl who could keep panic, love, desperation,hope,emotion,hate, sarcasum,and happiness to myself so here it is.
He's still working, but was told by his boss, that he (the boss) could no longer garentee that Tim could make a living off of the runs (semi: big truck/ runs:loads) he takes. Also He (Tim) was getting a pay cut ($139 now/ 195 before). So like 1/4th less in his pay check. Yeah us!!!!
This nesecitates me getting a job, again Yeah me!!!!! Please note the sarcasum. I have always been one of those girls who thinks mommies belong at home if possible. Not to say that they can't get a job, or persue a career if that's what they want, but if you have kids, you should take care of them. A day care worker shouldn't have to potty train your kid for you, not fair to the kid, not fair to the worker, and if you like kids not fair to you. If this doesn't work for you DON"T HAVE KIDS STUPID! I repeat: IF YOU CAN"T TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN DON"T HAVE KIDS! I realize this may seem like I am judging everyone. Nope, I realize that everyone has a different situation, Sometimes people (women) have to get jobs because the family can't make it without a contrabution from both parents. I will soon be joining you in this endever sisters! I understand that different situations call for inventive solutions (i.e. Dad stays home),but for me and my family, I wish, and get the feeling (holy ghost, maybe), that home is the place for me. I do complain, about not leaving my house for weeks on end, except the occasional run to church, but I don't get to talk to alot of people at church anyway. I try to be busy thinking about what I should be thinking about ( i.e. Jesus Christ, Heavenly father, my soul), but knowing me (if you do, that is) you know I have a hard time sitting still, and would rather keep my hands busy.
In all I'm, like the title says, Just another manic monday.

Anadarko (cough*sucks*cough,cough)

Sorry about this one guys! I can't help my self, but I am irrate. I just have to say that Anadarko (the Oilfield company) SUCKS! I guess I'm just bitter. Tim is a sub contractor, that contracts for Bj services. Anadarko recently decided they were being ripped a big one (Which I totally get), but they decided to go with a different company to do their cement haulling. This totally krimps my style, because it pretty well puts my hubby, his boss, and six other family guys out of work.
It's not that I think that they should be charged out the WAHOOO for their work, but Tim having a job is good too. I'd really like to not move to TEXAS (I HATE TEXAS)! I know that I have to be fair, but my sence of fair play is at work here. Bj may or may not have been doing a good job, but My hubby, his boss, and co-workers have been doing excellent and are sot after all over the basin. Now they can't be used because of this wicked wrong move? Hope Valeri doesn't mind if I say this, but OH MY GOOD CRUD!!!!!

Sleepy Sohie

My baby (yes, I know she's three, but she will always be my baby. Even if she doesn't like it.) has been so weird about falling asleep lately. When she doesn't get a nap she falls asleep on sombodies lap. Tonight was no different. After we feed them some Strawberry short cake, she curled up around me, with one her head on one side, and her feet on my other side. She almost looked like a tutu. She refused to move so I could put pjs on her. So I put her to bed in her play clothes.

Little giggles

We spent today playing in the mud. We took Tim's motorcycle up to the honda hills and played around. It was gross and muddy and totaly exhausted my kids and husband. Tim was asleep by 7pm. Ashlee asked to go to bed. I know, right? Gavin fell asleep watching X-men. Sophie fell asleep on my lap, and I had to wake her up to change her into her pjs. She was still half asleep when I pulled off her shirt and fleece. She put her arms over her head, and as soon as I had her shirt off she poked me in the nose. "Poke," and that was it. She fell back to sleep. I had to still angle her in to pjs. It was weird. Then carry her to bed. To funny.

I did it again!

Then come back, let me know you're going to play, and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Remember that only the first 5 comments will receive a gift from me, so be quick!"This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!2. It'll be done this year (hopefully sooner than later.)3. You will have no clue what it is going to be.4. What I make, may be strange. Who knows!Now, what to make, what to make....... hmmm. :)

I fell off the wagon (aka Totally addicted).

This weekend, I have been living in sin, I have even introduced others to living in guilty pleasures. First, I got my parents hooked on facebook. I got my Dad so hopped up, that he's doing my mother's facebook too. He won't let her do it.
Next, I have been on a major suger high. Since this last week was Valentines, chocolate has been out in full force. Good news, I haven't snuffed it yet.
Last I have spent most of the last four days playing the Wii. I have a new game. One where I don't have to shoot people, have anyone explain it to me, or look up the instructions on the internet. I has also been cheating on the game by spending copious amounts of time on the internet, and at walmart buying food storage. I feel so dirty.

Happy Valentines Day!
