In Which I Vent and Say Nothing Funny

You'd think that with NOTHING good on television that I would have more time than ever to sit down and post but guess what....I haven't touched my computer for three whole days until this morning. I know, how is that even possible?! I've got a ton of things to do and what seems like no time to do any of it. I haven't been home since Saturday morning and even though we were gone all weekend my house still manages to look like shit. I'm wondering if the cat threw a party while we were gone because I know I didn't leave it this dirty!!

The bad thing about not living near any family is that when a holiday weekend comes up or really just about every other weekend comes along we have to pretty much drop all that is going on, pack up, and hit the road to go visit. We love to do it but good grief it's good to get back home when it's all said and done with! Dorothy was on to something what that whole, "no place like home" chant.

The thing that sucks the most is that we never get anything accomplished over the weekend and afterwards I got to unpack for everyone and put everything up as well as the other stuff that needs to get done that was left. It usually takes me a day and a half to catch up to where things are at the barely manageable level as opposed to the out of damn control level things are at right now!

This is going to be a short week for so many reasons. One, today feels like Monday but it's Tuesday already and two, not only do I have to unpack from this past weekend I now have to repack because we are taking a long trip to the other freaking side of creation for an interview for the husband. We are leaving Thursday afternoon sometime after we watch A1's *sigh* 8th grade graduation. We'll be gone until sometime Saturday because we're going to spend the rest of the day on Friday and that night to kind of scope out the area (read: find the essentials like Wal-Mart, Target, and Old Navy 'cause I won't go if they don't have those!).

It wouldn't be all that bad to move but it's just when we seem to get settled into somewhere and start to get comfortable in an area he goes and puts his name in the hat for somewhere else. I get that he's doing it for the betterment (is that even a word?) of the family but hell's freaking bells moving sucks donkey balls! Literally, and I'm not looking forward to it in the least bit.

It's bad enough we already live one state over from family but now he's wanting to move us an entire work day's drive away and I'm not looking forward to it at all. There will be no more "quick trips in" to visit the family. It will now be a real fucking ordeal in which we have to either drive in in the middle of the night Friday night to be there on Saturday morning or we yank the kids out of school on a Friday so we can be there that night. I'm sure their schools will love that little nugget of information when we go to register them. That is if I can find somewhere I feel comfortable taking A2 for preschool since it only took him the entire time here to get to where he looked forward to going.

A1 has been bummed out all weekend long because he's afraid that after this Thursday, when he gets out of school, there is a chance he won't get to see his friends ever again if the husband gets picked for this promotion.

I feel a little sorry for him since I have to say he's made the most friends here but I'm thinking that won't be such a bad thing either since I'm almost certain a few of his friends right now aren't the greatest of influences. (Read: he has his own computer and we found stuff that shouldn't be on it because he slipped up and "forgot" to delete the history.) But still, I can understand how he feels because he'll be starting high school this time around and as if that wasn't hard enough of an adjustment, being the new kid in town on top of it all is bound to cause more than a little anxiety.

I guess when it boils down to it I understand that the husband is really chasing his dream. Hell, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be able to sit here and blog all day from time to time or better yet read all of my favorite blogs from the comfy ass groove of my own couch. I'd have to be doing it all from work. FYI: I am not a morning person and I don't even know what I'd want to do if I had to work right now. I haven't had to work for several years because of his job and his choices so what do I really have to complain about?

I'm extremely proud of him for moving up the ladder and if he gets this job he will have topped out at his ultimate goal. How many people can say that and how awesome would that be for all of us? I guess I'm selfish and wish that he could accomplish this goal a little closer to home or better yet right here where we are but I know that that isn't even an option.

I've just got to suck it up and be prepared to pull up stakes and move again if that's the case. If it doesn't happen now it will eventually. I'm guessing the sooner we get it done the better I just cringe thinking about another house full of boxes and no idea where anything is or where I want it to go. I'll bitch and moan about it for a little while but it will all work out in the long run. Besides where we are headed this weekend may be the closest thing that comes up for a long while and if we don't get this one we may be forced to have to go even farther away. See, I can see the bright side to it all. I'm not completely closed minded.

Best thing I can do right now is to just let go and roll with whatever happens. It's not like I can change it so there really isn't any need to be bitching about it. I knew what I was getting into when we hooked up and moved away from home that very first time over 10 years ago. Plus, I've made a lot of different friends from a lot of different places and I'm thankful for every one of them. Some of my better friends live in my computer anyway but who knows maybe my best friend in the world is living 8 whole hours away from me at this very minute. She better love to shop is all I've got to say!!

Let's move on, no pun intended.

Oh, I've been on my pills now for an entire week and so far they haven't caused me any problems what so ever. Got to say I'm pretty happy about that. I can't even tell you about any side effect at all. No headaches, no increase in appetite, no aches, pretty much nothing at all. I've set my cell phone alarm to go off every day at 6 in the afternoon and that's how I've been remembering to take it every day. Keeping my fingers crossed that the longer I take it and the more of it I get into my system that I'll still feel the same way about it and I'll still won't have any side effects.

I've also been taking my vitamin, the One A Day Weight Smart one, and it's not caused me any problems either. I read some reviews on it where people thought it tasted awful or it caused them to feel nauseous. How in the hell can you taste a vitamin? Are they chewing the damn thing, putting it in their mouth and swishing it around in there before they swallow it? I don't get it. Put the damn thing in your mouth and chug it down with something to drink. No tasting necessary. Maybe it's an aftertaste they are getting. I don't taste it one bit.

I made the mistake of taking it before I went to bed the first night and that wasn't smart. The caffeine or whatever ingredient that's inside it kicked in and I couldn't really sleep that well. I now take it after I eat my first meal of the day and I can tell that about an hour later I get a little energy boost. Nothing that makes me bounce off the walls or any other extreme but just enough of a boost that makes me want to get up and maybe do a little something. I'm not positive but I think it also makes me need to go pee a little more than usual too. Maybe that's their weight smart catch, it makes you piss out some water weight. Meh, I don't care. I'll take whatever tiny bit of help I can get in the weight loss department!

I was doing really good on the weight loss thing last week. I actually got on the scale and saw 137.14 for the briefest (again, is that even a word?) of seconds and that felt pretty damn good. I held steady though at 138 for a few days. I was ecstatic to be in the 130's even if it was floating around the bottom end! Bad news though, after spending the entire weekend at home where I ate like a pig I weighed 140.1 just a few minutes ago. I'm going to see that damned 130 if it kills me! I'm crazy enough to even believe I can see 125 and stay between that and 130. That's my hope anyway!!

Good news, I wore a t-shirt the other day that I would never have thought about wearing a few months ago because of all the lumps and bumps and that was pretty awesome. I managed to buy a new bra the other day too that *gasp* actually fits and that in itself cut down on some of that freakish back fat that has kept me from wearing a couple of my shirts.

Who knew that if you bought one that actually fit around you properly that it would cut down on some of that shit!!?? I'm pretty sure the sizes are rigged though. I never would have thought to buy it because it always seemed a bit freakish but I bought a 36 D and it fit. There is no freaking way that my boobs are a D but how else can I say it, it fits.

I've never bought a D in my life. I've always bought a C and when I bought the first one of those it never seemed quite right. I know what you're thinking too, maybe I should have bought a wider band but I tried that and that never helped. I've tried a 38 and I think I even tried a 40 and they were both way too big when it came to wrapping around me. Even in the 36 I have to ratchet them into the last hooks. I don't get it. Bras are a mystery to me. I'm just happy I now own one that will hold both my wonky boobs in without any spillage or ugly back fat imprints. Nothing like looking as if you've got nice sized boobs when you are walking towards AND AWAY FROM someone!

Enough about my boobs. Any Days of our Lives watchers out there? I have watched it since I was 12 years old and for the longest time couldn't go a single day without it. For the past year I've slacked off on watching it because the story lines were dumb as hell (yes, even for a soap opera!) and I would just read about it on one of my all time favorite websites.

Now, the person who use to run the site sold out and it's been taken over by a new crew. I hate it! This is the second time one of my Days sites has just up and either shut down on me or changed. Since I can't stand to read what they write about it I started watching again last week. It's not that bad so I think I'll actually pick it back up. I've actually missed watching it a little but they've got some new people on there that I'm not quite sure about yet. We'll see. It's not like there is anything else on that I can watch. The Real World isn't exactly brain food. I'm just biding my time until the new Big Brother starts. Didn't I mention I like to watch junk that requires little to no thought whatsoever!

Okay, since it's become pretty apparent that this house isn't going to clean itself and the bags aren't going to get unpacked and then get repacked for our "trip" this Thursday afternoon I've got to get up off my lazy ass. Good thing about the end of this week is that the boys and I will be hanging out in the hotel Friday while the husband goes for his interview so I plan on hitting everyone up that I added to my new blog roll. I've got to go back and make sure I didn't miss anybody so if you commented on any of the last three posts and don't see your name on my roll I promise I'll get you there by weeks end and I'll stop in and comment on each one of your sites!

Have a great week guys and maybe next time I'll have something a little more worthwhile to post about besides my boobs and Days of our Lives and no guarantees but I may even reread and edit it to make sure it doesn't have spelling or grammar mistakes in it. This one isn't that lucky. Feel free to point and laugh at all errors you find in this one.

Almost forgot, for some reason this stupid song has been stuck in my head for two whole days. I have to say I was glad to get that damn Buffalo Stance that one of you guys planted on me out but I'm hoping I can pass this one off to one of you and finally get this out of there too!

I love Bowie but holy hell I need a break!!
