I've been busy!

And it hasn't been fun busy at all.

Let's just say it involves my kids, and it's a freakin' miracle I have a single hair left in my head.

But, since I like to consider myself a good mother, I'll not tell of all the stuff my kids (or one in particular really) have been putting me through.

Instead, I will list the things I have NOT been doing to keep busy.

1. See High School Musical 3

2. Bake a cake

3. Spend the millions I won from lottery scratch tickets

4. Watch the Brewers win the World Series

5. Learn an exciting new dance

6. Knit sweaters for the homeless

7. Visit Bora Bora

8. Stand in line for the new Google phone

9. Go to the spa for a mani/pedi massage facial day (but JESUS I could really use something like that)

10. Drag Racing

My un-boring life...

To be honest, my life has been anything BUT boring. In fact, some would say I've been having too much fun (and they are probably right). However, being the nice girl that you all think I am, I can't really post about un-boring stuff.

The "good" stuff that I can post about involves silly crap that no one really cares about.

Like, weather radios. I bought one. It's annoying as HELL. When there is a storm, it goes off every 2 fucking seconds. I'm sure it would be helpful in the middle of the night, but in the daytime I'm pretty aware that there is a goddamn storm, thank you very much. Of course, I wouldn't want to be without one, either.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.... The National Weather Service has issued a blahbedy blah blah blah for the following counties (and they should really probably list the counties it doesn't affect, that would take far less time and energy).

So, my mom decided I needed a different weather radio. The fire stations were selling them for cheap, and Charlie Shortino (one of our local weather dudes) says this brand is the best.

I'll hook it up to humor her, but I can't imagine it's really any different than the one I bought. I'm cringing at the thought of programming it and hooking it up. I'm sure it's equally as annoying.

More "good" things involve my cat rescue organization. We recently bought a shelter for the feral cats (oxymoronic??). To save some money, we are doing much of the work ourselves. Yesterday I went to help out with some drywall sanding and painting on primer. Tough work for a soft sissy girl who sits at a desk all day. Hopefully it will make the kitties happy.

Lastly, I've started getting "The Sopranos" from Netflix. I never had HBO, and never watched an episode before.

I think I'm in love with Tony Soprano. He is just a mega-stud.

The "bad". Well, I'll just say that "bad" isn't really bad.

The "ugly". Well, I'll just say that if the cops come to my house one more time I'm gonna have to open a donut shop.

6 random things tag...

I got tagged for the 6 random things tag thing by Micgar. I'm sure there are certain rules, but I break the rules. I hate tagging people (although I don't mind being tagged).

Anyway, onward to randomness!

1. It's raining today. One of the things I really love about rainy days is seeing worms. I know, it's weird, I have no idea why I like them. My mom even tells me that when I was in Kindergarten I would be late to school all the time because I would count the worms and play with them on the way.

2. There is a Culver's restaurant practically in my backyard. They change the specials on the sign outside everyday, and it cracks me UP! There are 3 lines, and the first line is usually an ice cream flavor, the second line is a dinner special, and the 3rd line varies... but I always like to read it all together so it sounds something like this... "Strawberry Shortcake BBQ Pork Iced Coffee". Fridays are the BEST when it involves fish!!!

3. I may have bitten off more than I can chew with the cat adoption fair. The current "Tame Cat Adoption Coordinator" is moving away, and I said I might be interested in the position. She said she was hoping I would be... yikes. Am I crazy??? Yes.

4. Tuesday night I made sloppy joes for dinner. They were yummy!

5. I don't know what I'm going to have for dinner tonight.

6. Sometimes I think I really am getting old, because my teenage kids irritate the living hell out of me*, I can hardly stand their music, and I'm constantly asking them to turn it down. And, if I hear my son Shane's ringtone one more time I might throw his phone into a puddle.

*but, of course I love them dearly
