Friday's Just Sayin'


Surprise!  A Friday's Just Sayin' on Friday...Who knew?


1.  Relay For Life was a HUGE success!...That makes me very happy because I worked my ass off...In total, our team raised over $4,000 for the American Cancer Society :)  There were even 7 of us that lasted the full 12 hours until 6am....Technically, I was there for 16 hours....Just Sayin'....lol



2.  Just because I am a woman, a mother, and a wife, does not mean that I am the only f*^%! person who can arrange something for dinner...The last time I checked, I worked a full time job...and when I do get home with Brodie...it's 6pm (or after)...So all a great deal of my time is spent getting his dinner together (he usually eats leftovers from the night before because by the time I cook a meal he's already asleep), convincing him to actually eat it, putting dishes away, washing dishes, vacuuming, sweeping, giving Brodie a bath, getting Brodie ready for bed, etc...So, excuse the hell out of me if I don't have a nice meal prepared every night...Just Sayin'...



3.  The Bachelorette Party that I was invited to is this weekend...I'm very excited to have a break!...I hope my son and my husband have some good Daddy/Son time :)  I wonder what they're gonna eat...Just Sayin'....



I'm leaving you with that picture because, well it makes me happy...and in less than 24 hours I will be there!  I hope everyone has an amazing weekend...I have a lot of blog reading to catch up on :)

Have I Been Forgotten?


I know everyone thought I was being such a baby when I talked about how busy things were gonna be for me in my last post...Well, I was right! :p  It's been insane around here...Things are finally settling down a little bit :)  The bachelorette party fun is this Saturday and I can't freakin wait to be lounging by a pool, sipping an adult beverage, & relaxing...I swear I will return refreshed and ready to blog until I have annoyed the hell out of you ;)

I'm Out Of Adderall


Consider yourself warned...This could get really out of hand...lol...Don't fret though, I'll be able to get my prescription tomorrow :)  Now you're probably thinking, "Great, the day she's not medicated, she decides to post something."...Well duh, if I had taken my medicine this morning, I'd be working right now...AND I wouldn't have just eaten a 6 piece nugget, french fries, red beans and rice, and a biscuit from Popeyes...I deserve to be miserably full....


Anyway, my next couple of weeks are so busy...I'm participating again this year in Relay For Life...It's basically a walk to raise awareness of cancer and of course to raise $$ for the American Cancer Society...(Thank you Asha for your donation)...I'm not technically the team captain, but have been acting as such because I tend to take control of projects like this...Our team captain is my boss, she doesn't mind this at all...In fact, I'm sure she's come to expect and appreciate it...My 2 big projects were making and keeping track of all of our Raffle Tickets and money collected from selling & working with my husband to design our TShirt for the night of Relay to sell to our team members and thankfully, other employees not participating...I sold 43 shirts!...I'm no salesman either...I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but it is...to me...lol...This week we have a Team Captain's Meeting...And next week we turn all our donations in Tuesday and Relay is Friday...To be honest, I'll be glad when it over...lol


I really am looking forward to the weekend after Relay...A friend of mine is throwing a bachelorette party  for her friend from high school...I've only met her once, but I'm invited...I think it'll be a much needed break...We have a couple rooms reserved at a casino hotel, so we get to hang at the pool all day Saturday...honestly, that's really what I'm looking forward to...I could care less about the 'party' and fake penis paraphernalia...The weather better be good damnit!

Friday's Just Sayin'...On Sunday


Here it is...Late I know...Oh well...lol....I thought about skipping it all together, but I'm coming to like writing this :)  So without further adieu.....


1.  Thursday Sucked....I had to be in Lake Charles at 9am for a conference for work...Something I cannot be late for because, well that's rude to walk into a room with 100 people listening to a lecture...Not to mention embarrassing when the speaker stops to see what asshole can't show up on time...Anyway, I make sure my lazy ass stops hitting the snooze button and gets up so Brodie and I can be out of the house in time for me to drop him off at school and in time for me to still make the important runs for work that I needed to that morning...All is going exceptionally well, my son is even cooperating...Sitting on the potty...Engaging in a little pee action...Getting dressed without acting like I'm asking him rip out his toenails...It was pleasant...UNTIL...We get out to the truck...I drive an Envoy...I love my truck...I have since the day I saw it...I get Brodie all buckled in...Get myself buckled in...Turn the key...**Tick Tick Tick Tick**....F@#! Me!...My truck won't start...Like an idiot of a woman, I think, hmmm...Maybe I should just try  again...SURELY that was a fluke....Turn the key...again....**Tick Tick Tick Tick**....F@#! F@#! F@#! F@#! !!!!!!!!!!!!!....I am a very adaptable person by nature...UNLESS...something is wrong with my vehicle...The reason is because I am a closet control freak...in normal crisis, I find a solution for the problem, execute, botta bing...crisis over....Vehicle Crisis is a completely different story....I don't know SHIT about Vehicles...Well, aside from the whole driving and putting gas in it...Since I don't feel like I can control the crisis, my immediate reaction is to Freak the F@#! out....Luckily, my husband was still home....So, I come inside and try to calmly tell him that my truck won't F@#%!* start...He is as cool as a cucumber...This pisses me off...Can't he see I am rattled beyond belief???...He walks outside with me, tells me to try to start it...again **Tick Tick Tick Tick**....He says, "Yeah, your battery is dead"....Ummmm, how the F@#! is my battery dead...Nothing was left on...He tells me to calm down...Then tells me that he threw my jumper cables away....W. T. F. did he do that for?...I had a nice little set of jumper cables in the back (not that I know how to use them)...they even had a cute little case to roll them up and store them in....Well, that didn't matter because that shit was gone....I asked him if he had and jumper cables in his truck...Nope...I'm really on the verge here of a breakdown...I feel the tears...(I cry if I'm pissed, stressed, annoyed....etc)...I control myself because I'm not trying to look like a complete neurotic mess...Calmly, I asked if he could maybe CALL SOMEONE to let us borrow some jumper cables so we could get the F@#! out of there...He did call his step-dad....He lives about 3 minutes from us....Ok, I felt relief...Until my husband said that he said he would be over in a little while...Ummm, I don't have a F@#$!* little while...I needed to leave 15 minutes ago....

His step-dad finally shows up...They jump my truck...I ended up having to skip my runs that morning...but I showed up at the conference at exactly 9am!...They hadn't started yet....Thank Goodness!...and all is right in the world again...

Until we break for lunch at the conference...My husband told me when I was able to get away from the conference for a few minutes to go and see if the truck would start....So, I walk out into the parking lot...Honestly believing that the truck was going to start...**Tick Tick Tick Tick**  F@#! Me....I called my husband to tell him...He says, you definitely need a new battery...He said to call him when I was done and he'd meet me there to jump it again...Even though I didn't need to go anywhere...The feeling of knowing that I couldn't if I wanted to nagged the hell out of me...

He did come give me a jump and Brodie and I did get home safe and sound...That evening, he called a couple places to price my battery and such...And, he went and had a new battery put in..YAY!.... I thought...Problem solved!...Just Sayin'



2.  Friday Sucked worse....So, the problem is fixed right?...Nope...When we were leaving Friday morning...Yes, the truck did start....but that bitch died on me 3 times backing out of the driveway!!!...It's not an issue with the battery, but apparently something else is clearly wrong!...We do have a long drive way, but as far as I knew, your car shouldn't die...Period...End of Story....I do a lot of interstate driving during the week...I was beyond nervous to get on the interstate....My husband wasn't home and his phone was going straight to voicemail, so I just decided I was gonna give it a go...Once I got the speed above 35, it was running fine...just like normal...but I'll be damned if that truck didn't die on me at several red lights when I got off the interstate...The afternoon was the worst...Heading home from work...Traffic is always worse on Fridays...My truck died 2 times in traffic before I was able to get onto the interstate...I cried...I did...Like a little baby...I sat in my truck crying saying "Don't Die, Don't Die, Don't Die, Don't Die" every time I would have to slow down...I called my husband when I finally got on the interstate to tell him...He felt like shit because he feels responsible to take care of these things and here he was getting a phone call from his crying wife about more issues with the truck...He apologized over and over....He said he would have it fixed immediately...Not to worry...The funniest thing about this conversation was at the end he said "Just be careful getting home...if you need anything call me...and don't worry about cooking anything tonight...I'll pick up whatever you want."  :D  So of course, I wanted Crawfish :)  I have never been so happy to pull in my driveway...It was a relief...He took it yesterday to have the oil changed, oil filter and air filter changed, a slow leak in one of my tires that I had been telling him about was fixed...he had the tires balanced...Then he came home and changed all the spark plugs and something else that I don't remember...I drove it for the first time this morning, and it's purring like a kitten ;)  He's my hero...Just Sayin'


3.  I was un-followed this week....*tear*....You know when you only have 22 followers it's really obvious when that changes to 21...It makes me feel rejected...Just Sayin'


That will do it for this week's Friday's Just Sayin'...On Sunday...I hope it was worth the wait...Now I must get back to my wifely duties and fold some clothes...Hopefully, I'll have some extra time to catch up on my favorite blogs!...Hope everyone has a great week!
