The great carpet debacle is finally over. On Tuesday after a shit ton of phone calls from an irate mom and an annoyed hubby, which one of them actually hung up on me at one point (bitches) I get one last call at 6:30 at night telling me to come over to the house quickly. Oh god this cant be good. I figured she wasn't over there because she texted me at 5 and said let me know when they leave so she can take out the trash can. So I hopped in my car and went over. They were all there (including the carpet guy) she was writing a check, and had picked out some carpet......FINALLY, I said to the hubby's co worker, they have been driving me crazy. He laughed and said you don't know the half of it, you think you heard a lot of bitching, I think I heard enough from your hubby to last a lifetime. So they just wanted my opinion on the carpet she picked.....I politely said it's fine, and I don't give a flying fuck what you put in here just as long as you picked something, and you both stop calling me.
So Wednesday was a nice calm phone call free day. I still even have full battery life. YAY ME! We did go over last night to clean up all the dust and debris from the ceiling re do. Got most of the floor painted with KILZ. The boy was hungry so I went to go get some Jack in the Crack for dinner while we were working. I, of course was a good girl, knowing I would have to eat in front of the hubby and got a chicken sandwich, but what he didn't know was I added 2 tacos to the order and ate them on the way back to the house sneakily leaving the wrappers in my moms car so she could throw them away....hehehe, the meat-a-palooza continues. Oh and I got a text from my sis in law who is entertaining the step bastard in CA for a couple of weeks. It says she took her niece to get her nails done and had the bastards eyebrows waxed in the process. I was like he actually let you talk him into that? She said yeah, but it took some convincing. Can you imagine, a 16 year old BOY getting waxed. That would have been priceless to see. I think I would have paid money to see it. She says it looks good. I reply yeah it might now, but wait till it starts growing back. Can you say uni brow, I mean its bad enough this kid has a Herman Munster forehead but add a uni brow to it.....fucking awesome. I cant wait!
Tonight the painting continues, but on the walls this time. Hopefully we can bust this out by Saturday and have Sunday off. Here's to wishful thinking!

Mediator
I find myself being the mediator at the moment. First with my Hubby and Mom, regarding the damn house renovations. My Mom has finally lost it and so has the Hubby. I was wondering how long it would take them to break. I am surprised it actually took this long. And we are only 2 weeks in. 3 more to go woo hoo. First off my Mom is freaking out over the carpet not getting in on time for her to move. Second my Hubby is freaking out over the fact that my Mom is freaking out and has it handled. But Mom doesn't believe him, therefore Hubby is ready to strangle her. All while I am getting phone calls from both bitching about the other. I know he will get it done, and she is....well that's just the way she is, so I am trying to calm the whole situation down by telling them both what they want to hear. So far it has worked until now. Now they are both yelling at me. Pretty soon they can both stick it up their asses and deal with each other.
Second, Menopausal Minion is back from vacation. Bipolar minion is already passing her work on to the other one. This time she did have a legitimate reason. I was at my desk and noticed an email saying one of the secretaries needed help. I told Bipolar to go help her and she says where's Menopausal? I said I don't know that's why I told you to do it. It's not like you got anything else to do anyways. Next I hear her calling Menopausal and saying the secretary needed help and to go help her. I'm like I told you to do it. She says she's gotta run home cause she ripped her shirt down the back. OK I said, good excuse. So she says this errand is right by my house I will take it on my way back to the office. OK sounds good. Then Menopausal starts in "well I'm glad she's taking my errand away from me" (sigh) is it really that big of a deal? I'm wondering how long before it comes to blows between them. Hopefully soon cause I could use a laugh.
Last night I went into my room where the boy was watching TV. I smelled this god awful smell and was like WTF is that? I figured it was the hubby's shoes because he just got home and changed his clothes. I opened the window wider and turned on the fan and told the hubby his shoes are stinking up the place. Then a little while later I called the boy for dinner and the phone rang so I grabbed it and the boy was sitting in front of me at the table when I get a whiff of nasty feet smell again. I bend down and smell his foot and it about knocked me on my ass. OMG! his feet reek like his dad's and he's only 6. Holy shit if they smell this bad now, what the hell are they going to smell like when he hits puberty? I wonder if they make odor eaters that small, cause he's going to be needing them.

The weekend
So here I thought my Thursday was the day from hell. HA, I was wrong. Friday sucked so much ass, it left a hickey. Aside from it being slow as hell, but with the running back and fourth to the store a million times, then with the promise of getting off slightly early from the boss, she totally reneged then yelled at me. I finished early, like only 45 minutes, but still, it's 45 minutes. Then as I'm waiting for her to tell me to go, I finally gave up when I had 8 minutes left of work. I texted my mom because she was picking me up to take me to the lake, when of course the boss walks in and says are you on facebook? Um NO, I'm letting my mom know when to come get me. Don't you have anything to do she says and walks out. 8 fucking minutes, REALLY, you bitch. I found something to do for 5 minutes and walked out FUMING. Met my mom at the house threw everything in the car and then continued to scream at her about what had just happened. Needless to say it was a long car ride to the lake.....for her. I had the last of my meat-a-palooza on my way out. Sirloin burger with bacon.....yum. That calmed me down a little, but the drinks I had once we got there helped more.
Saturday was a nice day of boating and swimming. The girl decided she wanted to try water sking. She was up and running the first try. I am so proud of her. She did a really good job. My poor son was fried under his eyes because my first mistake was sending him out with the hubby, who only put on sunscreen once so the poor guy wasn't such a happy camper the rest of the weekend. But the day was nice, then the thunderstorms decided to start up. We lost an easy up (that's ok it wasn't ours anyways) had sand in my chicken, and was stuck in the trailer with all the kids for a short time. Small space and lots of kids equals unhappy me! Once the wind died down a little we went out by the fire. We ended up with some new neighbors that afternoon. Oh the sweet sounds of mariachi music blaring at 10 at night. We were all kind of laughing cause the people next to them were having a radio war blasting of all things Nickleback. So it was a mariachi Nicklback mash up. Then the ranger came told them to shut it off. as soon as he left it went right back on. Then we noticed it had picked up pace, it was kind of like punk mariachi music, if you can imagine that. All I have to say is thank god I have ear plugs.
Sunday we all packed up and went home. The in laws decided to take the step bastard with them for a couple of weeks...oh the sweet joy, this day just keeps getting better. Got home, showered, and jammie time it was. Then some pizza and the race and off to bed.
Today I was a little worried about seeing the boss because of that little snafu Friday. But she actually apologized this morning and I said sorry too, cause I don't want to be a total bitch, and I like my job (well most of the time) So now it's back to chicken, kids and work.....BOOO.

The night off!
Well after a day from hell yesterday, I certainly deserved my wonderful night I had to myself. I started my meat-a-palooza yesterday afternoon by getting myself a jumbo jack and 2 tacos from jack in the box. Then topped it off with an arby's melt and loaded potatoe bites for dinner. I bought 2 additional sandwiches for lunch today. Tonight will probably be taco bell since I'm heading out to the lake after work. This is not gonna be good for my diet, oh well. So anyways I got home to a quiet house, it was so nice, ate my food the messed around on Facebook for an hour or so. I put on my jammies and put in my movie, hopped into bed and relaxed.
I slept surprisingly well last night without the hubby. Which he has called like 4 times already this morning. I really didn't miss him or the kids at all. The only one I seemed to miss was the dog. So I guess it's going to be a crazy day today, because I have to go get more beer, water, a birthday cake for my sis in law, a present, and sunscreen. Fuck he hasn't been there a whole day yet and already needs more beer and water? WTF are they doing out there?
So I get into work this morning and go empty the dishwasher upstairs and stacked the glasses that needed to come down to the kitchen and they fucking fell over. I broke like 3 glasses this morning. So I picked it up and went to the janitors closet to get the vacuum and start to go down the hall and notice the fucking thing is missing parts. OK, why do we still have this thing hanging around if it's BROKEN? So I run downstairs to get the other piece of shit, I swear this building is huge and we only have 1 crap vacuum from like the 1960's that works? Ha, yeah, well that's and understatement, the thing barely sucks, I was vacuuming for like 10 minutes and there is still some glass on the floor, finally I said fuck it and moved on. I really hope it's not gonna be one of "those" days.
I cant wait to get out to the lake this afternoon and sit my ass in a chair for the next few days. Fingers crossed this day will go smoothly and quick. Fingers Crossed. Have a good weekend!

Just Let Me Lie Down!
I think my hubby finally got the camping crap all done. It took him all damn day, 1 ruined lunch hour and me going to bed waaayyy past my bedtime, but I think he got everything done. The in laws decided to come over last night, my sis in law texted me at like 5:30 and said they were stopping at the store and would be over. I figured 20 minutes or so since they were ordering a cake and that was all. An hour and a half goes by before they showed up. So after chatting for half an hour I'm like can we please go eat cause I'm starving and its like 7. We normally eat around 5-5:30, so went out and had a few glasses of wine, ate the most delicious pulled pork (I know, no chicken) and potatoes and by the time we got home it was 9:30 and I was stuffed beyond stuffed. He of course had to hook up the trailer and boat so they could just leave this morning (I don't know why he thinks they are going to be on time) so he busted ass for like an hour getting everything hooked up because they were suppose to meet at our house around 7:30. So I watched some TV and then went to bed. I am so freaking tired this morning, and am not used to going to bed this late without being able to sleep in. I think with all of the non stop work from last weekend and then trying to get ready for the in laws this week, it's all catching up with me.
But alas the angels are finally smiling down on my poor tired head. I can actually hear them busting out in a chours of Hallelujah. I, yes me, have a whole night to MYSELF! I could literally pee my pants with excitement right now. I called my Grandma and asked if she would keep the girl tonight. I have a netflix chick flick due in my mailbox today, hubby is gone with the dog and boy for the night. I am going to get myself a piece of meat for dinner, make some popcorn, watch my movie in my nice comfy bed, and call it an early night, I cant fucking wait. I can actually get up late in the morning, not have to yell at anybody to brush their teeth and get dressed. OMG! Ya know it's the little things like this that make me HAPPY!

HHHUUUUHHH!
So my Hubby took the day off from work to go work at my moms house today. Ha, yeah, I didn't think that was going to happen. Instead this morning he decides to go shopping for camping. The in laws are here and they are leaving tomorrow morning for the lake. I am coming out on Friday with my mom because I couldn't take any days off this week due to menopausal minion taking her vacation. So anyways, he pulled everything out last night, and decides to shop this morning. Well he made it to Wal-Mart and that's about it. After 6 calls from him this morning while he was at the store, then he was yelling at me that he couldn't find something on my list, I was ready to turn off my phone. So the last call I got was I don't think I'm going to make it to your moms today because now I have to fix the seat in the boat. There is nothing wrong with it, it was fine and hasn't been used since the beginning of July when we went out last. I think it's just and excuse. Which really sucks cause she was paying him for today, but not now, ASS, and we need the money too. I am going to say this again, this was a really bad time for them to come visit. So now he's home, yay, another lunch hour ruined.
Yesterdays lunch hour was ruined by my Grandma who needed to come over to check the price of more hotels that she had already called on, but just wanted to make sure the Internet price wasn't cheaper. She brought me lunch though, and guess what it was chicken. If I have to eat another piece of chicken I swear I'm going to lose it. I didn't want to cook last night cause we only had chicken in the freezer and she brought all this fried chicken over so I ate a half can of chips and a half tub of macaroni salad with a peach chaser for desert. I think I nailed all the food groups in that one.
I really cant wait for him to leave tomorrow because then I at least have the house to myself for a night. Well, no scratch that. The girl will be home. Hopefully she doesn't bug me. For dinner I think I'm going to get the biggest greasiest burger I can find. Or some meat product that I don't have to cook and don't have to get out of my car to get and that's not anywhere close to chicken or chicken bi product.
So I was channel surfing on Monday after the whole cleaning bit and TLC has a new show on called the little chocolatiers. HHHMMM, curiosity got the best of me, so I flipped the channel. And OMG! it was actually midget's who made chocolate's. WTF, TLC? Little people big world and the little couple wasn't enough? Although it was like that show the cake boss and ace of cakes only without the cake, and weird crap made out of chocolate. But really? I think we have went a little (no pun intended) to far. It's bad enough that I couldn't find anything to watch last night and ended up watching that show about the Duggars, and all I have to say about that is I really hope her uterus falls out soon. The world does not need anymore weird prairie dressing kids who think they need to in turn have a butt load of additional kids to feel closer to god. Stop it, you ruining society. And taking my tax dollars. Because unless your a freaking millionaire there is no way in hell you are supporting all those kids on your own.

I'm Fried!
Well after a seriously long ass Friday at work, I went and picked up the boy, dropped him off at Grandma's house and went to work at Mom's new house. I have to give props to these construction workers, cause that's some HARD work. We started by scraping the popcorn off the ceiling's in the entire 1500 square foot house. My hubby thank god had got there a couple of hours before us and had 2 rooms done. We started on the master bedroom. Holy crap, after an hour and a half i was ready to go, but I soldered on. We got that done finally, took a pizza and beer break and back to work. 6 of us were there and managed to get most of the house done. Yay us. Around 8:30 we decided to call it a night. Covered in dust from head to toe went home got in the shower and went to bed.
Saturday, got up fairly early, went and had breakfast and back to the house for more scraping. My hands hurt so fucking bad, I could barely hold my fork. Mom was already hard at work when we got there and I jumped in to help. We got the living room and kitchen finished and that left the laundry room. If I had to scrap anymore I was going to puke up ceiling dust. We left it and made the step bastard do it. Hell he is getting paid I'm not. The mud work was started and we got busy vacuuming up all the crap. Around 4:30 we decided to go shower and eat, then we hit Lowes to buy a dishwasher. Hubby and Mr. DMV were asking so many questions my Mom was like I don't care, I'm so tired ask me tomorrow.
Sunday, since we got all the scraping done we decided to pull out and hedge some bushes in the front so the painter could paint. Let me tell you about pulling up juniper bushes.......it fucking blows. They are the hardest god damn things to get out of the ground. Hubby had to take a saw zal to one of them, and I think it ate the blade. Alas it finally came up. After some minor cleaning up we decided to call it an early day since we were busting ass for the last 2. So we went home around 3 and I jumped in the shower, I was so tired and I was trying to shave my legs. My shower is tiny so I have to move the head so it points to the back wall so I can sit and shave. So here I am hair full of conditioner, body all soaped up, razor in hand trying to move the shower head and BAM, fucking thing breaks off, water shooting with fire hose force right in my face. I freaked out knocked over the shampoo bottles knocked all the crap off the shower caddy trying to stop the water. The I get the bright idea to turn it down, ha that just made the water shoot out cold. I turned it off tried to put it back on said fuck it threw it on the ground grabbed my towel and went to the front bathroom to rinse off. Hubby was like what are you doing? And I'm like the fucking shower head broke off I was all soapy. Good thing we have some spares. After that fiasco I put on my jammies and went to the couch. Then he decides to make chicken (ha I know more chicken) and says what side are you going to make. Huh what was that? I have been busting ass for 3 days and now you want me to cook, fuck you I don't think so I threw a veggie steamer in the microwave and that was our side.
Today, since the in laws are coming in tomorrow and I haven't had time to do anything, the house still needs a scrubbing. I got up, took the boy to camp, and me and the girl came back and tackled the house. I made her dust everything, then clean the windows while i scrubbed everything else. After 4 hours of deep cleaning we went to taco bell. Now I'm going to go lie down cause i can barely type right now. Thank god for spell check. I swear they picked the worst time to come visit. I dont have time for this, this week. Now we have to go shopping for camping this weekend. When am I going to do this? I have to work tomorrow, and I'm lucky any of the laundry got done this week. It's done but god knows when I'll put it away. ok time for nap, my brain is melting.
