KENTCUKY

Boyfriend is leaving tomorrow for Colorado. He'll be gone a week. Last time he went I was glad to see him go for a bit. This time I wish he wasn't going.......and I kinda miss him already.



I took daughter to the orthodontist yesterday to have her braces adjusted. I dropped her off at the front door, and then I parked at the next office over, in front of the Pediatricians office.......The sign over their front door read "Northern Kentcuky Pediatric Group"............I debated in my head whether or not I should call them about the spelling in their sign. I mean the sign's been there for atleast 20 years. Certainly someone has noticed before now?...........and then I thought maybe they don't know and since it's a business they'd appreciate knowing so that they could correct it?...........so I called and asked the lady who answered the phone about the sign....at first she didn't believe me .... & then .......she laughed her butt off......seems they didn't know......................I wonder if they'll fix it?

No Title

Work is killing me. I have to many patients. But I'm being good and pretending to have a good attitude,,,,,,,,,,,even when boss man talks to me, and I think he talks to me just to piss me off, but when he talks to me I just smile and pretend not to dislike him.

Daughter cheered at her first high school football game this past Saturday. She was a little nervous and forgot a couple of the cheers. So she just kinda stood there while the other girls did the routine.............I don't think anyone noticed. :O)

WHen I was a teenager my dad hired me to work in one of his stores......... on my first day, Stretch, one of the other employees says, so as to notify some of the other employees, "son of a bitch is here!" The back of the building was glass and it overlooked the employee parking lot. I turned to look outside to see who Stretch was referring to and was surprised to see my dad. I was 15....young, naive, and had never considered that someone would think of my dad as a son of a bitch. The comment just made me feel protective of my dad, and it hurt my feelings.
It wasn't until I was older that I understood where Stretch was coming from, not that I agreed with his comment, but I understood..........and it wasn't until I was older that I told dad what Stretch had said. Dad laughed.

Last WIll

This is my oldest sisters dog. I feel a little guilty because I can't remember his name. My sister has willed him to me should he out live her.

Friday

Daughter likes high school, kinda, sorta....................she stayed after school yesterday to make posters for the big football game on Saturday. It will be her first high school football game, so she's pretty excited.



Son started back to college last week. Yay! We'll see how it goes...



Middle son and daughter are mad at their dad right now...... It's difficult when they are venting to me about him. Part of me wants to join in and bitch right along with them but I know it's not the right thing to do...so I just keep my mouth shut and listen.

I went shopping today and bought a pumpkin scented candle, some candy corn, and a few other things..........they had a health fair at the little shopping center so I went ahead and had my blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, body mass index, and bone density checked for free...........everything was normal except for my bone density. He said I should be taking calcium to prevent further bone loss...

I think the temp. was 103 today. When I got home from shopping I went swimming, in the buff.......it felt good!

Short People Got........

Boyfriend and I were out the other day running some errands. As we drove through the parking lot of the store we had just left, boyfriend pointed out a red, convertible, VW bug. He said to me "You'd look good in that..... it would be great for your short legs." HUH? Did he just say I have short legs? My mom's 5'2.....and my 4 sisters are all 5'6 or shorter. I'm 5'7.....so I've always considered myself as tall.........and while there's not much about my physical appearance that I'd brag about, I've always thought of my legs as being long, well defined and tone. So when boyfriend referred to my legs as short, I took it as an insult.................not that there's anything wrong with having short legs.......but to me it felt like an insult disguised as a compliment.................... oh well...

My Troll Rings

We celebrated my moms 70th birthday weekend before this past weekend. She looks good and is doing well. I still can't believe she's doing so well. xox to my mom!

Today is daughters birthday. Her dad canceled her cell phone because she went over her minutes for a 2nd time, plus there was the time she had 240.00 in download charges..........so she spent her birthday money on a new pre-paid phone.
She was a pretty baby.......I was certain I was going to have another boy but was pleasantly surprised when I delivered and the doctor said it was a girl........I wanted to name her Claire after my husbands grandma but husband said no............and so we agreed to name her Emily. When I left home to go to the hosp. to have the baby, my sons, 4&8 at the time, gave me these troll rings to wear for good luck. They looked just like troll dolls with a huge head of hair. They gave me 8 of them.....one for each finger.......I'd never been away from my boys before. I missed them terribly and felt sad not having them with me. I put a troll ring on each of my fingers and corny as it sounds, the rings comforted me. ................the lady from vital statistics came up to have me feel out the birth certificate. I'd forgotten that I was wearing a troll ring on each finger. The lady kept looking at me like I was some kind of weirdo.........whne I finally figured out why she treated me and was looking at me like you might look at a psych patient, she had already left my room.........made me laugh.

not the cook

I cooked supper this evening for boyfriend.I was a little embarressed when boyfriend found the code sticker still on one of the tomatoes. lol...oops!

Pot Luck

I heard a song on the radio that I like. I think it's called Teardrops on My Guitar....or something like that. It's a sweet little song and I think most of us can relate to it...................and then there's another song I like....a country song.....I have no idea the name of it....but it's about 2 boys who find a shoebox hidden in their moms closet. It has pictures in it of her before she was their mom....pictures of her on the beach, wearing a bikini and a tattoo on her hip that the boys didn't know she had. It's a cute song. It makes me smile.

Daughter started gymnastics this week and has learned how to do a back handspring. Yay for her!.........and oldest son called in to a radio show and won a 3 day all expense paid trip to Vegas. Yay for him!

Ex-husband will never forgive me for the divorce. I really wish he could find it in his heart to do so, I just do........but it's never going to happen.

Took daughter school clothes shopping today, and took her for a haircut and eyebrow waxing............we had a great time.........she's a good kid and I love her!

first "make out" kiss

I think I've mentioned before that my daughter is a chatter box and she's seldom at a loss for words........today she was at a loss for words..........on the way to cheerleading practice our conversation went something like this....Daughter: Shay and Trevor went to a 9pm movie lastnight. 9 oclock, mom!(meaning there's no reason that she shouldn't be allowed to go to a 9 oclock movie with a boy) Trevors the first boy Shay has kissed....no! it wasn't Trevor! She kissed Brad first but he wanted a make out session so Shay dumped him. Trevor wasn't her first kiss. Trevor was her first MAKE OUT kiss! Yeah that's right cause after they had their first make out kiss she was so excited and couldn't wait to tell all of us about it. Allie hasn't been kissed yet. I like Allie. She's so nice, Mom. Allies mom wants me and Allie to be best friends. We're good friends but Mariah is my best friend. Allies dad is funny. He's really nice, and he calls me Girlie. He reminds me of dad. Him and dad sat together at one of our football games last year and they both stood up and danced.It was funny. Me and Allie laughed. Do you remember the first guy you had a make out kiss with, Mom?
Me: Allies dad.

Sunday

Tomorrow is my middle sons birthday. We had everyone over this afternoon for an early dinner and cake. Son celebrated his day by sky diving for the first time this morning. He said it was the biggest rush he's ever had.......he wants me to go with him the next time. I don't think I could do it.

Daughter will be in high school this year. We're going to go school clothes shopping Friday. She was quick to let me know that she will need more school clothes than usual since she's now in high school. Lordy!

Employee of the next few months

One of the day shift nurses resigned. Her last day was a couple weeks ago. Work isn't going to replace her. They decided that me and the other nurse, in addition to our own patients, will split resigned nurses patients. I guess I won't complain out loud. As a matter of fact, I'm going to be the best employee from now until Christmas. I'm not going to call in sick, or be tardy. I'll volunteer to stay over when someone calls off...if we have 6 feet of snow, I'll make it to work.....I'll cross every T and dot every I...........and then I'm calling off on Christmas Day and the day after Christmas if my Christmas vacation request isn't granted. Is that wrong?

Ex-husband is cheating on his girlfriend. I know I will sound like a mean person when I say this, but I was glad when I found out. I don't like his girlfriend.
