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!

Identity Crisis...

Yep, I did it...I changed it again!....My layout that is...lol...I keep wrestling with the idea of paying someone to design something for me because I'm so jealous when I visit all these other blogs with their cute layouts...I never knew in all my life I would actually want an animated version of myself...Is that vain?...lol...I was so excited when I finally tweeked the last black & red layout to my liking...Then, as I was browsing random blogs, as I often do...Guess what I come across?...The. Same. Damn. Layout....

I don't know why I was shocked...It's a free template online...Anyone can download it just as I did...duh....lol...Want to know the worst part?...It was a good blog...I wanted to follow her, but hello...I couldn't follow a blog that looked almost exactly like mine...I know, That's Stupid...lol...Anyway, I'm really liking this new one...Please bear with me until I find my blogs identity...Who knows what it'll look like the next time you visit!...lol..

I Have Problems....

So this morning I'm running late...As usual...I know, you're shocked...After I drop Brodie off at Daycare, I go to several different cliet's offices to pick up/drop off whatever is going back and forth...So, I spend a good deal of my mornings driving...I've been doing this for several years, nothing new...About a month ago, they started working on the interstate...They closed the access onto I-10E that I normally use, so I've been having to backtrack to get back onto I-10E...This morning, there was a big wreck that caused the I-10 bridge to close...That really doesn't effect me because I don't go down I-10 that far, what does effect me is that all that traffic was being diverted to I-210...I'm listening to the traffic update on the radio, just learning about the accident that happend after the bridge was closed...It's right where I'm going...Great...Then I realize, while I've been paying so much attention to the radio, I've gotten onto the ramp that I use in EVENINGS to go HOME...Yep, I'm going the WRONG FREAKIN WAY...Now you say, Just get off the next exit and turn around...Sure, that next exit is 15 miles down the road.....I'm such a Moron...

If you've done the calculations in your head...I'm now traveling 30 pointless miles...I called my husband, just to make sure he knew how big of a moron I am...When I told him what I'd done, he cracked up...Ha. Freakin. Ha....I did end up laughing about it, because really what could I do?...We talked for about 10 of the first miles...then he said, "Well, I guess I see you in a few minutes..."  He thought I was gonna stop by the house???  I said, "Umm no, I'm not going home, I'm getting off the exit and turning around and getting back on I-10 (in the right direction)"  What in hell would I go home for? Let's recap:

#1      I started this morning already late

#2      I've added roughly 30 minutes to my drive (on a morning I'm already late)

#3      I didn't forget anything at home

#4      WTF would I go home for?????

You will all be happy to know that I did make it to work...(where instead of working, I am writing this blog)...I did skip 2 of my stops...No biggie, they'll be there tomorrow....And hopefully I won't be late....yeah right...
