Please...

Right now being on the steroids, even though I am on anti-biotics.... please keep away if you are sick. I have not been able to fully get over what ever is going on for the past two months. Most times when I have at least seen people I have been on anti-biotics. This includes if any of your immediate family is sick too. This will be for at least the next 8 days. While I am on steriods. And still appreciated if I ever get over this crap!

So

So I am realy sick. 3rd round of anti-biotics, steroids, and codeine laced cough medicine. I need to get better.

Mn unemployment....

If you need it you can now apply on line... MN on line

I am done!

No more x-mas parties/family obligations! I am now done. The worst one was today. Had to go to the FIL's house. First off he lured us down there under false pretenses. To set up his new tv. Get down there it is set up. We had to tweak it... but nothing that would of required that much time. Lies! Then we ran to the mall to radio shack and target to get an antenna for their other new tv. Then had to pick up something to eat... the fil contently changed his mind from going out to eat for lunch to lousy pizzas that I could not stand to eat. The thought nauseated me. So got some Boston Market sides. And the girl gave me 10% off! Bonus! Brought it back. Then his trouphy wife tells me from looking at my lunch. "oh at least you will be able to eat potatoes." For they knew that with this pregnancy meat is one thing that is hard for me to eat. It makes me sick. She was wrong. She made spuds with so much sour cream in it the hash browns were floating. Both Keith and I were disgusted. So my dinner was a roll and corn. Wywy got all John Deer shit! I can handle one thing but seriously three and one he can not play with due to the small parts. I have a fealing that some things will be ditched at the cabin. One is so big and he already has a dump truck like it. Ugh too many big toys. Wywy still loves his piggies. But at least once a day he trys to go Ozzy on one of them. Mmmmm pig heads.

Also made a quick stop to the great grandparents. I am really sad that we could not stay longer. For it was Wywys bed time and it showed. Must go see them soon again. For I love them.. now the Fil ......

Bah humbug

Today started out slow. And could never get going. Did the trational run to Cub for french bread for a tradition...... and starbucks for the annual x-mas eve mocha. Showed up at the fathers around 10:30 am... also had doughnuts in tow. The old man was dragging too. Neither of us could get happy about the day. Just flelt off. People started to show. Still could not get going. Just kept saying I have no ambission. Angie asked if I was going to be this way thru the whole pregancy. I just wanted to pop her in the nose. No ... but when the past three nights you have been waken many times by a spouse or child. Can not have caffineen in large doses. And the holiday just seams like another day. ..... It sortive takes it out of you. It lasted longer than most years. Wywy never took a nap... looked like hell because of it. But he did get a few good toys, thank you all. Now I remb. what the foundue that Erica made is missing. Dill!!! Oh well I get to make some more tmrw. Just trying to feel happy and with as lousy as the past few days have been.... just can't do it. Sadly makes me sad... for this was my favorite holiday. Just seeing so many people being strapped.... and as we all struggle in some way or another. Happy happy....

Pink eye

Yes it has struck. Keith. He woke me up 3x prior to dawn. Bitched about it and at about 8 am we went to Min. Clinic. He got the meds so he will not be contagious tmrw. But can not wear contacts and dose not have glasses. Also his contact rx expired. So after the first of the year he is geting a pair... one way or another. So he is home today and cranky too boot. I can not wait til the 9th when he has his eye exam. Tee hee hee... But thanks to the above I am exhausted. The only thing that made my day better was a trip to BK the first one in 3 + years for frech toast sticks. And of course the boys got their cini-minis. Need less to say the attitude of all improved. Now lets see the rest of the day.

Cabelas

Do not go there this close to x-mas under any situation..... bad news..... too many people.... If you do not know the back roads you would still be there if you showed up at 1 pm today. I am glad I knew the back roads but still.... *shudders* it was so bad that I could not get to 94 and had to take 101 home.

Freedom and a snow storm

So got nothing done due to the snow storm. It was the ultra fine snow where visibility was greatly reduced due to the wind. So we went no where.... But the soon to be step-mom had ventured over to the area due to her boys cousins b-day party. She asked if the fussy one could go on a sleep over. Said why not. So he left and then we decided to take a risk and to go a restaurant a few miles up the road. It was nice. Just hope we can get out to breakfast tomorrow. The temp dropped 6 degrees already and is expected to drop further. And when it gets below 0 salt dose not work. Needless to say on our way home we were fish tailing a bit going at slow speed.

Is it disterbing.....

A. That I helped my supervisor look in to in home paternity tests so she can determine if her 17 year old has a kid.

B. I finaly have a real play date for the first time for the kido.

C. Not working for the rest of the year after 1:15pm tmrw...

10 wks down at least 27 to go...

Well we did it again. I am pregers..... edd of 7-10-09. Had an ultrasound yesterday and all is well.

No news is good news at this point...

No real progress on the work thing. Some of the security has come in. But one of the applications they gave me security to the wrong section. So I hope that it dose not come in til Friday afternoon... after I am done with work. As of 2:30 pm I will be free from work for the rest of the year. True it is to watch my kid due to daycare being closed but hey.... better than the alternative. I just know I will not be looking fwd. to 1/6.......

Bideing time

Still no news on the work front. Starting to get worried. I have a new supervisor that starts on the next pay period.

Tpt

I have been a critic of TPT (Twin Cities Public Television) for years. Then with the new tv we found TPT Kids. It is great. Keep in mind that I do not let my child watch more than an hour of TV per day (not to say it is on in the background when we are doing other things...) But it was there when you needed to get the little one to rest with a cold or be entertained when an impt. matter had to be delt with. Now refer below. The first good thing TPT has done in decades will be gone....

"Why are we eliminating the tpt KIDS channel?

Our original plan was to convert tpt 2 to all-adult programming and have a separate, full-time channel for educational children’s programming. However, in order to insure that this programming is available to all cable and satellite households, as well as outlying over-the-air households, we determined that it will be necessary to maintain children’s programming on tpt 2.

With children’s programming remaining on tpt 2, the tpt KIDS channel would be redundant programming for nearly 12 hours per day. In addition, we know that the audience for children’s programming drops off dramatically after about 8 p.m. Therefore, we would have been maintaining a full-time kids’ channel that only provided a unique, useful service for about 2 hours a day (between 6 p.m., when children’s programs stop on tpt 2 and 8 p.m. when the audience goes to bed!) We decided it was not a wise use of resources to maintain the 24/7 tpt KIDS channel."

Sad part is I know of so many familes that have non-traditional hours like mine. The elimation of this programing is lousy.

Party

It went ok. A few less people showed than expected. So ended up with left overs. Ended up going to bed at 11 when most people had left. That did not phase some guests. They decided to stay til 1 am and continue playing rock band. Then I was woken up by them when they left. Ugh.... the only reason I went to bed is due to my cold getting worse that day. Mr. Fussy showed up at 9:30 am and I did not feel well the rest of the day due to too much snot in the system. Note to self you must keep snacking with sinus issues..... I just need this cold to be gone. And I need to prob. rest more too.... why could this not be the 22nd of dec?

New Specs..

Finally got a pair that works. But the cold got worse or I got a new one. I keep taking the anti-biotics.... May I feel good tmrw.

No controll

So I got a call from my supervisor today. I am getting a promotion not by choice. Or should I say no choice. No mention of how much or any pay raise. And to top it all of I will need to go in to the office for a week of training prior to x-mas. They do not know if it will be next week or the week after. Makes life lousy for I do not know what hours the training will be. Or what to do about my duties of picking up kido......... I avoided this once before and not looking fwd. to it.

For those of you in to yarn arts

Her show is over! Or at least will be the end of December. There is a god.

Drugged...

After 4 weeks of suffering I now have three rx's. Including anti-biotics. So I sit here feeling lousy. I need to rest more. Especially since the party is on Sat.
