My husband has been working for the same company for the past 12 years. For the most part, he really hasn’t been happy. But because it’s a nice steady and stable job, he refuses to look elsewhere. He just comes home and rants and raves to me about the job and then the next morning he’s off to work again.

Last night he had a staff meeting, and he came home just ranting. Apparently they are changing the dress code at his work and expect him to go out and pay for a new uniform. To say that he was not impressed, was an understatement. I guess he figures if he has to start paying for uniforms, then they are going to make him pay for other stuff as well. Can you imagine having to fork out the money for a super pump 250 or a generator? But instead of saying anything to his employer, he leaves the meeting and crabs to me about it. Oh well, I’ve done this for 12 years and I expect I’ll be doing this with him for another 12 years.

My youngest son really does crack me up. He is an extremely bright boy, but sometimes he can be so dizzy. This morning around 10:00 am I get a phone call from him (from school) that he forgot his lunch box. So of course I told him I would run it down to him. When I get to the school his teacher informs me that he told her he knew first thing this morning that he forgot it, but he forgot to tell her about it until after snack. Why wait until after snack when his snack was in the lunch box. But I laughed and gave her the lunch box anyway. I threaten this kid every day that I’m going to have to invest in some hemorrhoids treatments because he’s a pain in my *you know where*. Oh well, I wouldn’t have him any other way.

My father in law’s wife really, really ticks me off. I really can’t take her on a good day. But this weekend she made me so angry that I informed my husband that I have no intentions of ever stepping foot in her house again. I feel bad for my father in law over this. But you know what, he married her, so he made his choice. I’m still so angry about the events that happened over the weekend that I still can’t talk about it. If my husband wants to go see his father and take the kids, that’s up to him. But it’s safe to say I will NOT go into her house until I hear a sincere apology out of this woman’s mouth.

My computer is only about two years old, but man… is it ever giving me a lot of grief. For the past few days it has been running so slowly that I’m almost ready to pull my hair out of my head. Then this morning while I was trying to do a blog post about an acne treatment guide, the whole unit just crashed. Well, I just forgot about doing the post and unplugged the machine and took out the battery. I let it sit for an hour and then plugged it back in. It’s still running slowly, but as you can see I can post. Hopefully this thing will let me finish all my work on it today and then I will be able to shut it down and give it a rest. I HATE computers sometimes.

Although it’s only February, it’s never to early to be thinking about summer. This past winter my husband has put on a lot of weight and last night he mentioned that he wants to have all these extra pounds off before the summer camping season hits. Well if he is going to accomplish this, then he really needs to start looking at the most effective diet pills now. He wants to lose about 20-25 pounds and doesn’t think he will be able to do this without a little bit of help. So… I’m trying to talk him into going to the doctor so maybe he can prescribe him something safe. Hopefully he achieves his goal. I’ll let you know.

Boy my nine year old was in a mood this morning. He didn’t want to get ready for school, he didn’t want to pack his lunch and he didn’t want to walk to the bus stop. When his father asked him what was up with him this morning, he crabbed at him that he was tired. I guess he doesn’t take any sleep pills now does he. And… the reason why he was tired this morning?? He stayed up late watching the NASCAR race. I guess that will teach him now won’t it? Probably not, he’s only nine. Hopefully once he gets to school and around his buddies he will come out of his mood. Otherwise, his teacher is not going to have a very good day.

Normally I don’t look forward to Mondays. I work every weekend outside of the home, so not a lot of stuff gets done around here over the weekend. This means I normally have a lot of work ahead of me on Mondays. Well today doesn’t look so bad. I have a bit of blogging to do today, I need to get some groceries and I need to finish all the laundry. Other than that, it looks like I’ll have the rest of the day to myself. Who knows, maybe I’ll even have time to look up Fort Myers vacation rentals on the Internet. Well, this doesn’t happen very often so I guess I’m going to take advantage of it. I’m actually going to have a “me” day on a Monday!

So how cold are you?? I’m freezing! Right now as I sit here typing this post, it’s minus 19 degrees outside with a windchill factor of minus 28. Man… that’s cold!! It’s so cold here lately that I haven’t even been able to go outside to go for my regular walks. I really have to dig out my fitness equipment and get my little home gym set back up. I think this is going to be the only way I get some exercise over the next few days. Unless it warms up pretty soon, I really can’t see me stepping outside any time soon.
