Can you believe it? April 28

Joe loves his job, and I'm happy that he does.  He works very odd hours but we're both ok with that.  But when he has more than 2 days off in a row he starts to drive me batty.  He just doesnt know what to do with himself.  See the problem is....there is so much to do that he doesnt know where to start.  Today I took him to Lowe's and told him to buy everything he needed to do this project he wants to do.  So we priced everything and totaled it up and it looked like a reasonable price that we could handle......and then he hems and haws and says "forget it".  He had bitched about doing this project for weeks and now he "doesnt feel the time is right".  Okay, so what do you feel like doing then?  Um, lets just go home.  Uh, no.  You're going to buy something to keep you busy before we leave here. So we argue and I get so fed up, we leave empty handed. See, and whats going to happen is this....let me do alittle fortune telling.  Scenario: I start school on May 15th and will have absolutely NO free time.  On May 16th he'll want to start a very complex project and he'll need my help lifting or nailing something every 20 minutes or so. Ultimately I either kill him or study in my car on the side of the highway with my kids in the backseat. 

Ok, other than that, today has been lovely.  Its 75 and mild, the wind is blowing alittle and the sky is cloudless.  The back 2 acres has been cleared of brush but we cant start burning until May 1.  Once we burn all the debris, we can bring in someone to grade the land and maybe add some topsoil.  Its going to take some time but eventually it will be grassy and nice.  I wanted to buy a nice shed to put all my lawn stuff in but ,of course, Joe assures me he can build a shed cheaper and wont let me get the shed I want. 

Anyway, Averys bus is coming so I have to go.

Toodles.

April 26

I think I attract bad luck.  I dont think I'm cursed or anything but I think people who are cursed are drawn to me.  I'd like to just go a month without anything shitty happening....30 days, thats not alot to ask is it?

Avery has developed a tic. I know that sounds stupid, considering he has stims all the time.  but I know the difference between a stim and a tic.  We were forced to see a stand-in Doc today.....all I wanted was a consult from her to neurology.  She argued with me for 20 minutes about the tic and I finally just told her "Give me the damn consult".  She typed in the consult and left without so much as a bye-bye.  Just because you CAN be a doctor, doesnt mean you SHOULD be one. Dumb bitch.

I'm also having a hard time finding care for Avery this summer.  It looks as though I may be staying home with him instead of going to school, like I had planned.  Makes me angry and then I feel guilty. Guilt pisses me off.

Okay, so its been a bad day.  Well, there was one nice thing. I won a crock pot in a raffle.  That was a nice way to end a crappy day.

Is it April already?

Ok, so here it is...April.  I know I havent posted since December.  In my defense, I was not in much of a position to post since I was sans computer until March 24.  Anyway, things have happened and blah-de-blah. Life and so on, all very boring and not worth repeating. One fabulous thing that I made happen for myself, I'm going to school.  I finally know what I want to be when I grow up and will get a chance to realize that dream because of my darling husband (who knows that once I decide something, well, you might as well hitch a ride because its gonna happen whether you bitch or not)  He's such a great guy.  I will only be taking 9 credit hours this summer because of scheduling with the kids and whatnot. The classes are also accelerated so its going to be like absorbing 16 weeks in 20 days, very intimidating.  I'm stoked.

Ok, so thats about it. Oh, Avery had his 12th birthday last Saturday.  We didnt have a party because well, he doesnt like them.  I gave him presents all week and on Sat. we had a cake. Quiet and stress-free just like he likes.

Prince George has been a huge change for us.  Joe is still bitter about some of the problems we had with the builder, I hope he can let it go soon.  I love the house.  It isnt a mansion but its just what I wanted....big enough for us and easy to navigate.  No stairs.  A huge master bedroom.  I'm happy.  The yard needs work but that will come with time.  The time I spend driving has increased bigtime......I think everything is 30-40 minutes away...in opposite directions of course.  I'm learning to plan days so I can group errands together, saves gas.

Well, thats it.  I'll try and post more often in the future.

Tata!
