Well, my aunt died last Thursday morning. The visitation was Sunday night, and the funeral was Monday morning. The dumb ass kid that was supposed to be arranging the funeral line screwed up and let all the mere acquaintances in the funeral line before me and my siblings. I was closer to my aunt than I ever have been to anyone else in my family, and ( Read more... )

I'm debating on whether I want to file a complaint with the IL Dept of Insurance about my ex-employer's business practices. He really is an unethical bastard but hides behind his religion so people don't see the real him (and he's screwed over quite a few people.) And...because he only paid me 10 hours of the 10 days vacation pay I was supposed ( Read more... )

I have a fear of the month of March. It is not an irrational fear of March; it's pretty rational, and I have the incidents and events to support my fear ( Read more... )

I have cabin fever...horribly. Dick is even more of a bastard than I first thought for not firing me when the weather is nice enough to do some yard work...or at least go to the park without fear of dying from hypothermia. I've never gotten like this when I took a few days off because I knew I would eventually have to go back. Now, I don't have ( Read more... )

The news claims that we got 8 inches. I wish my house were at the place in Peoria that got only 8 inches (well, maybe.) In the lowest area of snowing (not in the drifts), it comes up to my knees. Friday morning, a mini van tried driving down the street and got stuck in front of my neighbors house. As Marissa and I were getting dressed to go out ( Read more... )

Michelle and Malaiah came over to trick or treat with us again this year. Malaiah was Piglet, and Michelle even dressed up as Tigger. It would have been cuter if Michelle didn't spend the whole time we were out complaining about how much Malaiah weighs and about having to walk. I might have offered to carry her for a while if she wasn't freaking ( Read more... )

Last Saturday night, I went out with Terri (who came down from MI to celebrate her bday) and Kris and her new man (who is a fucking idiot.) It's too bad she and Doug are getting divorced. I miss Doug. He was so freaking unpredictable, but at least he was entertaining. And honestly, Kris annoys me. She wants a man to take care of her so she can ( Read more... )

This is our next event. I contacted the Journal Star and set up an interview for Sherry. It will be in the paper either tomorrow or Wednesday. We are also supposed to be on WEEK tomorrow night at 10. I am more of a behind-the-scenes person and would really rather not be on TV, but Sherry claims she won't be able to speak ( Read more... )

As we were walking into the ghetto fab Wal-Mart today, there was a very skinny, cracked-out looking woman who was missing a few teeth standing outside smoking a cigarette while her five children (I'm guessing they were hers), ranging in age from about 4 to about 10, were running around, acting a fool. Her shirt read "Don't be jealous ( Read more... )

Nacole and the kids are moving out Thursday, and it's not fucking soon enough. They are driving me nuts. I am sick of Shelbie's fucking mouth. (If she was my daughter, I would have smacked her by now.) I don't give a rat's fucking ass WHAT she's had to deal with throughout her stupid, little life, she has no right talking to my daughter like she ( Read more... )
