1:27 a.m.

So it is 1:27 am and I am still awake! This is not a good thing. I think I posted about my insomnia before. I never know when it is going ot strike and for how long it is going ot be here. I can tell you this I hate this feeling. I am dog ass tired yet my eyes will not close. Sucks for me. OOHH I can even here the hint of sarcasm in my own typing....;)

So it looks like Tuesday is not going to be as great as the weekend or Monday. That's okay gotta take the good with the bad. Hope you all had a lovely night's sleep last night and that I have at some point before the alarm goes off fallen asleep myself.

Had a Blast

We had a blast this weekend. On saturday we went to the parade and my kids got more beads than any other year! Good times! Yesterday we drove up to a friends house in Lake Wales and road the 4 wheeler all day and then cooked out. The kids had so much fun and I think I even saw my hubby smile a time or two...;)

Have a great Monday everyone!

Endless Cliffhanger #1

Okay I got this idea from Mama B. This is what you do.

I will start off the story
The first person who comments adds on
The second person who comments adds on to the first
The third person who comments adds on to the second
And so on, and so on
You can add to the story as many times as you wish
The story will go on throughout the weekend
Oh, and spread the word so we can get a great story going!

Have fun with this. I will keep it up over the weekend. I know that you all are creative so lets see it.

Jennifer was so nervous as she and Chris waited at the restaurant to tell her parents that...

looking forward to the weekend



I am looking forward to this weekend. The kiddos and I are going to the annual Gasparilla parade this weekend. They have decided that this year there will be no beer sales and are only going to allow mixed drinks.... Okay am I the only one thinking WTF??? No beer so lets give them something stronger. Who knows what the Tampa city council was thinking when they came up with that one. I do know that we have been going to the same spot for the past couple years and this year we may try something different. Not sure yet what we are doing. Here is a the official site for the YMKG. Go take a look and let me know what you think. Have a great day I am off to work.

I got nothing

I have been sitting here for 5 solid minutes and I have nothing to write about. I had the most routine day today. I worked and had dinner and watched American Idol with the kiddos.

Gotta say AI was pretty funny. I about fell out of the chair at a couple of those people. I mean come on really you can not tell me that they actually think they are good?!?!!?!!? Gotta say I love the the Pickler girl she tugged on my heart strings. Hope she makes it in the next round. Okay that's all folks I am going to bed....G'nite

Do They Deserve it?

If you are a regular reader of my blog you know that in 1999 I lost my son Jakob to what they think was an umbilical cord accident. MY son was born still on September 23, 1999 at 41 weeks gestation. He was perfect just not breathing. My husband and I grieved and prayed for relief from our pain. Just as we were settling into what had become our new idea of life we get a package in the mail. I open the envelope and much to my surprise is my son's death certificate. Now the reason this is a surprise is because I asked about a birth certificate and was told you don't get one!! According to the law my son was never alive. Well in my world never alive meant he could never die, but guess what he did and now I have the official paper with the seal of the state of Florida on it to prove it. I struggled with this nonsense for a long time until I heard about a small but determined group of parents that were getting what was owed to them and their babies "dignity". This group has grown a lot in the past six years and has accomplished many great things in many states but they are still working on getting birth certificates issued for past and future births resulting in still birth in many states. The reason I am typing this post is to hopefully inform more people and in turn those people will visit the missing angels web site and get proactive. If not for me may for the 26,000 thousand families that will receive a death certificate this year for a baby that was in the laws eyes never even born. I did not type this post for pity or for sorrow. So please go over and visit the site and see if there is anything you can do to help out where you live.

My phone is wired

This morning I was trying to multi-task which I usually do well. I was doing homework, moving my cell phone, and having a cup of coffee. Well I decided that my phone would be okay on the printer and the coffee next to the printer. As soon as I sat the phone down it slid off the printer right into my coffee cup. So I pull it out, grab a towel and pull the phone apart as fast as I can. I let it dry out most of the day. When I just put it back together and turned it on it started blinking al kinds of colors and then it died. I wonder if I can get the phone company to replace my phone if I tell them it overdosed on coffee...;)

The Power of Pink

I am at another of my residential customers houses a few weeks ago. They have a new house in a new developement that is still under construction. I open the front door put my stuff down and think to myself wow that building going on next door is loud. So I go to clean the master bath area. The blow dryer is on the counter so I wrap the cord and bend over to open the drawer the blow dryer goes in and realize that the loud sounds are not coming from the construction but from the drawer. I think to myself must have been in a hurry and didn't get the electric razor shut off. I pull open the drawer and MUCH to my surprise there sat a bright pink vibrator going off in all it's glory. I just shut the drawer and walked away.

I have another customer who has a picture cube on it but all the pictures are penises. You would be amazed at the things people have in their houses and even more surprised at what they leave out for their housekeeper to find.


*Added* Don't forget to check out my renter Chatty. She is only here for another 12 hours. If you have not checked out her blog you are missing out on a great read. Go over there and click on her icon in my sidebar.

Naked as A Jaybird

So I am not sure if I have ever told you all what I do for work or not..
My mom and I own a commercial and residential cleaning service. I handle more of the commercial, but i have a couple regular residential customers. So on Wednesday I go to a customers house to clean. Usually this person is home and I just pull the bedroom door shut until he gets up and leaves for work. So I proceed to pull the door shut and said person is in bed butt naked and of course he is covered up from the waist up. I almost fell over dead. Here is my customer naked as a jaybird with his johnson sticking straight up in the air. Needless to say I just turned around and headed to a different part of the house until the alarm went off.

Oh and if you think this one is funny wait until my next post...

A Little Friday Humor



Not that it would make a difference around here. My kids are already wired and the dog owns the place.

Feeling Better

Thanks to everyone that posted about my headache yesterday. Not sure what caused it but it is finally becoming a memory tonight.

I was going to go to a signing supper at a local mall tonight but I figured that with my head hurting so bad yesterday that I better take it easy today. So instead I stayed home and cleaned my entire house top to bottom. SO much for taking it easy. Oh well at least I get to start the weekend off in a clean house. Oh well going to go watch a James Bond movie with hubby.

Headache

I have been nursing a serious headache all day. I have taken 800mg of motrin, a goody powder, and 2 excedrin and my head is still pounding. I sure hope it goes away soon.

I started school on Monday. I love my sign language class. We have had 2 classes so far and have learned about 500 signs. She has been teaching for 30 years and she loves what she does so it is a fun class.


I have a meme to post and I am sure things that I should be saying but my head is killing me and my brain is not functioning right at the moment so I will post something more interesting as soon as this headache goes away.
