Taking a break

And going to enjoy some "me" time. I've done about as much housework as I can stand right now. For some reason today, I'm tired of just making do. I'm ready to get rid of some of these things and get new. Like the vacuum. The on and off switch doesn't work anymore, so you have to plug and unplug it to turn it off and on. Not to much of a hassle. Except, it seems to have it's days, like today, where every little thing slips the belt off, and the hose decides to clog, repeatedly, where the bend is. This gets really irritating after a while. Can't even make it through one room without stopping a few times. Then there's the washer. It really needs help. The water doesn't turn off when it's supposed to and leaks all over the floor. But not always, only when it feels like it. Then it gets stuck, again when it feels like it, and won't spin. Hubby's looking around for someone he might know who could come and maybe fix this. Maybe these things are all bothering me because it is truly a Monday.



Go to vacuum in the boys room, which I rarely do, and step on some pic cd's that are laying all over the floor. Why?? I have no idea since they are my pics and the last time I saw them they were on the shelf where I put them. To avoid this kind of thing. But, that's the youngest, not happy unless he's into everything and making a mess. I do think the oldest was having a tantrum this morning because I heard him growling this morning before he went to school. He was also the last one out the door. He doesn't feel good anyway, so I'm sure anyone who comes in contact with him today is just going to be dealing with such a sweet child. To bad I can't ship him off somewhere for a few hours, lol.



Hubby's working nights now. The fool brought back the other woman and she started this morning. Hubby, worked his normal shift yesterday, came home around 4:30 went to bed and then went back to work at 8 pm because the fool couldn't work any later than that because he had to be up early today. Hubby worked until 1 am. I'm glad hubby did come home instead of going upstairs and resting for a few hours. But he knew as well as I did that if he went upstairs the fool wouldn't leave him alone. He knows coming home, I won't let anyone bother him. I even woke him up late and took the phone off the hook, lol. As soon as hubby walked out the door the fool was calling and calling. I didn't answer it. I only would have been mean to him anyway. Since the woman is back the oldest doesn't have to work every day after school. Just on weekends and Thursdays. The woman has Sundays off which means the fool has to open, (yeah, right) so I'm thinking of talking to hubby and having the oldest not work Sunday's. That way the fool is forced to work by himself. Mean I know. The woman opens at 4 and leaves at noon. Hubby comes in at 2 and works until closing. That leaves the fool alone for only 2 hours. He's upstairs watching tv or running all the other times. What really gets me is he crys to all the other family members that hubby is lazy and doesn't work!!

Well, while writing this, the washer just put water all over the floor and hubby's not happy. He wants to know why I haven't fixed this sooner. Maybe because he can't remember anything. I've been telling him about the washer, for a while now. He never says anything, so, ok fine, have it your way. Now that he's here and see's there's truly a problem, he wants to know why I didn't take care of it. Just can't win. He either wants to have it fixed, depending on how much it will cost, or replace it. I don't want another machine. I don't want to go looking for another machine. But, since we live in such a underdeveloped, rural area, it's hard to find someone to come and fix things, without wanting an arm, leg and the firstborn. Maybe it would be cheaper to buy something else. I did tell hubby, and told him to remember this conversation, that if we buy another one, we are buying the warranties. For as long as we can get. Over the summer we had to have the fridge fixed. We had it 13 months at the time. Really aggravated me. Since this is the second appliance we've had problems with, I think, for us its a good idea. I figure if we do that, then nothing will happen until the warranties run out anyway, lol. And before we buy, I need to check into how hard it is to get something repaired. Thinking maybe we should stick with Sears because they will come out here to boonieville, lol.

Took hubby to his docs appt. Didn't go in with him, I should have. Asked him what the doc said he has, he doesn't know. He came out with a script. What's it for, he doesn't know. Did she tell you to do or take anything special, he doesn't know. I asked him if he was still breathing, he looked at me and goes, I thought she would write everything down for me. Lol, apparently not, she is under the mistaken impression that you can remember things, lol.
