My mom called me today to tell me that Brittany was driving Marshall's truck! She (my mom) was totally freaking out. Well, to be honest with you it freaked me out too, but I didn't let her know that! lol Marshall and Brittany were working in my mom's yard and while Marshall was cutting tree's he let her drive his truck from one end of the yard to the other to dump all the stuff in back. My mom thought for sure she would hit a tree, but I guess she did really good.
*~*NOTE TO MARSHALL*~* I'm glad you and Brittany are bonding and stuff, but don't encourage her to start driving already......she's only 11!! Sheesh, before you know it she will be stealing the car! lol

Tomorrow we are taking the kids to the AirSho. Anthony is going to love it. He loves airplanes. I just hope it isn't too loud for him. I hope you all are having a great weekend! ~HUGS~

Well, I've made my rounds to my favorite blogs, drank two too many cups of coffee, and have answered most of my emails. I think I'd better quit stalling and get to work getting my house clean. Having the kids home all day sure creates a lot more work! More dishes, more clothes (why do girls have to change two or three times a day?!), just more messes! I want to have it done by this weekend because I'm sure most of it will be spent at my mom's house working once again on her yard. I really don't care or think anyone will notice they way back corners of trees that need to be trimmed but can't seem to convince my mom, so it's easier just to get it done! lol
I think I need to clean my desk. I have three coffee cups sitting here and only one of them has fresh coffee. I haven't as of yet drank out of the wrong cup but as time progresses the chances of that increses! Ick. Although I can tell which cup Marshall left here, his cups have Jack Daniels written on them, mine have Winne the Pooh. LOL....that pretty much sums us up wouldn't you say?

Well, the driving yesterday went ok. Joe never did call back....he'd better not do that on the 4th because he is supposed to drive us that day! lol Anyway, Marshall didn't want me to go through a day of nerves without actually driving so we went for a drive last night after dinner. I was so nervous but it wasn't as bad as I thought. You have to take turns slower than normal but for the most part it was ok. I'm still nervous about driving in town mostly because of all the construction/detours going on right now. I would hate to end up in a place where I have to back up. That still scares the shit out of me and I refused to back it up into the shop when we got home. Next time we drive I'm going to make him sit in back so he can tell me how it feels from back there. I want to drive a little more before I go order my tuxedo and NO I will NOT wear one of those stupid hats! lol

Today is the day, I learn how to drive a limousine. Everyone keeps telling me that it isn't hard, it's just like driving a car, only bigger. I don't think they realize that that is what scares me.........the bigger part! I can just picture myself taking a turn and leaving the rear half of the car behind! Joe thinks I can learn in an hour, I think he is crazy! And of course they will expect me to back them into the shop which I don't even want to think about! Ok, I'm making myself a wreck. I think I need another cup of coffee! lol

Last night we spent another night working in my mom's yard. This damn wedding had better be the most gorgeous wedding ever! lol And oh my gosh, if it rains I am not going to be happy! All of the wedding books (yes I have bought a few isn't it pathetic?!) say that you need a backup plan for an outdoor wedding. Here's my plan: it will NOT rain! lol My mom's friend from the Windbreak offered to let us hold it there because he is going to be closed for the day. But I really don't want to have it there, besides when it rains on the 4th it usually doesn't last long. So everyone can just huddle under the canopy I am renting. lol Okay, I'm getting stressed again.

Speaking of stressed.......my dad called yesterday. (Remember the package I mentioned a few days ago?) He said, "I got your package, that movie looks funny." and then he starts talking about the weather. He never mentions the letter or list I sent or whether he is going to help out with expenses or not. I mean, I only sent him the list because he offered to help and so I wanted him to have an idea of how much this was all costing. So we have this entire conversation and he never once brings up the money thing. And I think I was too shocked to even mention it, I mean what could I say? So at the end of our converstaion he says, "How is your mom doing......I haven't talked to her in awhile.......I think I'll call her up to say hi." So I call my mom to tell her he is calling and tell her about my conversation with him as we wait for the call waiting to click. I ask her what she thinks it means that he didn't mention the letter I sent him and she says she thinks it means that he isn't going to help out, which is just what I was thinking. So we hang up (still no call from my dad) and I call my sister. I tell her the same thing I told my mom and ask her opinion and she thinks the same thing my mom and I were thinking. So she says she is going to call him and just see if he mentions it to her. (Are you confused yet? lol I think I am!) So she calls him and they talk and he brings up the letter to her?! Now why wouldn't he mention it to me? I think I am going to scream! Anyway, he says that he wants to talk to my mom to discuss the expenses because he has no idea how much weddings cost. Sheesh........ I am telling you this is the cheapest wedding ever, and he didn't help at all with my first wedding, he didn't even go to my first wedding. So my sister told him that he was getting off cheap and since she isn't going to have a wedding (her and Jeremy plan to get married alone on a cruise ship) so he should just be glad he only has one wedding to help pay for. Somedays I think maybe we should have just got married in Reno while we were there last summer! My dad still hasn't called my mom and he never gave my sister a definite answer as to if or how much he is helping so I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Marshall is selling one of his trucks to help pay for our portion of the expenses (keep your fingers crossed that it sells soon!) and hopefully I will make lots of money driving limos to cover the rest. Speaking of which, I guess I should stop stalling and get ready to go. Joe should be here in an hour or so.Wish me luck!

Well, I'm off to an early start today. I get to be tortured with another interview. This one is at a bank, I can only imagine it would be a boring job but a boring job is better than no job and MUCH better than the job I had with the "Adams Family". lol I have stayed away from jobs like this because I just don't work well with women. Give me a place with a bunch of guys and I am happy. lol I love working in truck/auto shops, the only problem with that is that people (men and women) think you don't know anything because you are a "girl". That gets kind of frustrating, I mean, most of the guys I have worked with in parts centers know less than I do but because they have a....well.....you know....people figure they know more. lol Oh well. So I'm off to the bank to try to get a job where I have to dress up everyday and I don't get dirty.

Marshall and I are also getting our marriage license today, the time is going way too fast and I have sooo much to do! I put up the little countdown thing on my blog because I thought it would be fun, I am starting to hate that clock because I am realizing how little time I really have to get everything ready. Liz and Eden, I could really use some help with something. I had a wonderful idea, okay it was wonderful at the time, but now I am just overwhelmed by the whole thing. I'll email you with details later today and hopefully one of you can help. :-) Okay, I've really got to go this time! lol Bye

Feeling somewhat better, I just went for a drive blasting my new cd, smoked a cigarette (okay 2), and drank 2 bottles of water. The kids are playing outside and Marshall is working in the yard. I'm not in the mood to make dinner (okay, I'm NEVER in the mood to make dinner, that is why Marshall usually does it) so tonight it's frozen pizza for dinner. One of the draw backs of living in the country.....no pizza delivery! :-P Hope you all have a good night. Oh, I can't find your number anywhere?! The one I have I think is an old one. Email it to me would ya?
I absolutely hate job hunting! Why is it that the first person you have to deal with is a stupid, anorexic receptionist who has no idea what her job is much less the job you are applying for but she talks to you like you are an idiot and have no business walking through the front door. At the same time I have a sneaking suspicion that if I'm not somewhat nice to the bimbo my resume will end up in the garbage next to her box of bon bon's?! Shit! I have been told by one job that I don't have enough experience and by two others that I have too much experience! What the hell? So I guess in the mean time I am going to have to start driving limos.

What really pisses me off is that I really liked my old job, I just despised most of the people I worked with. I liked my boss but in order to keep my job I had to work with his old hag of a sister who never brushed her teeth, his asshole brother-in-law and two of his nephews. The only person I liked was my boss and his dad but everyone else there hated him so I had to listen to them all bitching and complaining about him. These people are the poster board family for dysfunctional! I have never in my life seen people so @#$%*! (<-- edited for a PG audience) up!

Okay, sorry about that, I have so needed to vent about that stupid job but didn't because I was trying to just forget about the whole experience. Oh well, time to move on. I'm sure I'll find a job, today was just such a waste of time.

Well, here is my before and after photos. I couldn't get a very good before picture because there was no one here to help me this morning. Damn, I really need to invest in a web cam! lol I felt like such an idiot trying to snap my own picture! But here it is, me and my hair! hehe


BEFORE


AFTER

When I got to the salon my hair was put into a ponytail and cut off, 15 inches of hair! What an easy way to lose 10lbs! lol My hair was donated to Locks of Love through the Roger Maris Cancer Center. Larry cut my hair, he is my mom's hairdressesr. He has never done my hair before, but I think he did a great job. I don't think you can tell from the pictures but I had my hair highlighted. It looks awesome. I'll have to take a better picture in the light so that the color comes out better. I wasn't sure what Marshall would think of my hair but he says he really likes it, and Anthony said, "Mom, I reallllly like your hair cut!" Larry is going to also do my hair the day of the wedding. Usually when I get my hair cut I just sit with a magazine hoping the person cutting my hair won't talk to me. lol Today was the first time I actually enjoyed having my hair cut. Larry is hilarious and I guess he is going to go to my bachelorette party! It should be a wild night. lol Oh, and I waxed my eyebrows for the very first time........all I can say is OWWWW!!

The girls also had their piano recital tonight. They both did a great job. Before I know it Anthony will be up there playing the piano! They are all getting way too big! Well, I'd better get going. I have a ton of laundry to do and children to referee! *Nite*Nite*

Roasting marshmallows...the
best part!
Brittany, Danielle and their cousin Tori

We had so much fun yesterday. The graduation was fun, although there were so many people and because it was raining they were all crowded into Marshall's dad's house. Josef was adorable, I can't believe how big he is! After the party we went to my mom's house and went back to work. Bill already had one bonfire going and shortly after him and Marshall had a second one going. It was nice because there was a soft rain going at the same time which kept me from worrying that the fires would get too big. Once the fires slowed down the kids made smores and then spent the night at my mom's house to watch Harry Potter with Bill who hadn't seen it yet. Anyway, it was a nice day but now it is Monday and back to a hectic week. Today I have a few job leads to follow up on, I am getting my hair cut which has me nervous and my mom needs help cleaning limo's. Did I tell you I think I am going to drive (limousines)? I have never driven before but I could really use some extra money. I'll let you know how that goes. I am nervous about my hair because right now it is almost down to my waist and I am cutting it to my shoulders! I'll try to get a before and after photo. I have to run I am as usual running late!

Congratulations Kristy!


Graphic by Mary's Little Lamb


Today is Marshall's niece's hich school graduation open house. We are headed over there this afternoon. Lately it has been hard to get together with all of his family at one time so this will be nice. I am so happy for Kristy because I know how hard she has had to work to graduate. I am also excited to see Kristy's son Josef, he is about 10 months now, and I haven't seen him in awhile, I am sure he is huge! I will probably have to beat off his other aunts to get a chance to hold him! lol

Every time I hold him Marshall gets this look in his eye, like "please don't give her any ideas!" lol I honestly don't think I want any more kids, three is more than enough! But at the same time I don't want to do any thing final to prevent having children because I'm just not ready to completely shut the door. You know?
I just want to say that I am making this post against my free will! Marshall is making me post this because he thinks all I do is make him look bad on this site........like he really needs my help! hehe Anyway.........he wants me to make it clear that yes, he did only make a shopping list with two items on it (see my earlier post today), but I went into town and spent a few hours shopping, and I forgot one of the items. And no, I didn't forget the toilet paper! ROFLMAO

And since I am here making myself look bad, I felt like a complete idiot today! My mom and I went into town to get some stuff for the yard and we took Anthony with. He was hungry so we stopped at McDonalds to get him something to eat and my mom set his drink on the dash. I made a sharp turn and it of course spilled and spattered on my windshield. I of course say "shit" as I am trying to stay in my lane and keep the pop from running into the vents. And from the backseat Anthony yells, "Mom! Don't say that word!" Can you believe that?! I felt like an idiot, but it was funny so I apologized to him but was laughing at the same time. And my mom is of course laughing, when Anthony yells again, "It's not funny! Don't say that word!" How sad is that?! lol
