What a scheduling nightmare this week is going to be. My car is being held hostage at the mechanics.( Read more... )

I really should be downstairs cleaning up. I really can't stand housework. Maybe I should go back to work full-time so I have an excuse to hire a housekeeper. Maybe I'll win the lottery and I can get one of those housekeepers who follow you around and clean up after you. I can't wait to have a bigger house so I can at least hide all the clutter ( Read more... )

Maybe because I don't actually play the lottery. UGH. The transmission in my mommy-mobile (minivan) is going out again. I just had it rebuilt last summer and now it's doing "it" again. Slipping getting into 4th gear. The mechanic my dad uses said "That's bad". NO SHIT. Of course, the warranty has expired. Scott's car is in the shop this ( Read more... )

Has anyone seen that commercial where the dad gives the mom two cell phones for mother's day and exclaims "IT'S A MOTHER'S DAY MIRACLE". I love that stupid commercial, and I have been wanting a new cell phone. I have one picked out. Now, I could easily buy this phone, but I have been trying to convince myself that I don't really NEED a new phone ( Read more... )

The house is at the end of a cul-de-sac on a nice long street. Established (read: old) neighborhood with lots of mature trees. The scary dark wood paneling is actually real wood but ( Read more... )

Seriously. If one more person tells me TACO BELL when I ask where to get good mexican food I might have to get a gun permit ( Read more... )

I was just catching up on some LJ's by others, which reminds me of my current dillema regarding faith. You see, I am in the middle of a HUGE faith crisis. It really wasn't bothering me until recently. I was sooooo active at our wonderful church in San Antonio. Church, sunday school, three different ministries. I LOVED it. Then...something ( Read more... )

Seriously, I'm going to do it this time. I'm packing up all my shit and taking off for the hills. What to take with me...hmm...clothes (few, definately no bras), toothbrush & toothpaste, emergency supply of chocolate and coke (the good coke with all the sugar), vibrator with some decent lube, pics of kids...damn...maybe the kids could come too ( Read more... )
