Woke up this morning to no heat. Sometime during the night the heater stopped working. And why?? We ran out of fuel. I've been checking the tank and telling hubby we were going to need fuel, like soon, but he kept telling me to wait until the fool got back from India. So, I drove him crazy and nagged him about it every day. Then this morning when I realized why we had no heat I got mad and yelled at him. Just tired of his crap. Tired of him being cheap because he wants to save money to go to India. If he had been telling me to call for fuel and I didn't do it and we ran out he wouldn't hesitate to yell at me for it. Just did to him what he would have done to me. So, we're warm again and expecting a delivery on Monday.
The fool is back so hubby is going for sure, just don't know when yet. I told him to leave me extra money (didn't like that one) because with the heater sucking dry it will eventually get clogged and stop working and need to be repaired. Most likely on a weekend, again. I went through all this last year, only hubby wasn't here at the time. Feeling like de ja vu all over again.
It's been decided for me that I'm staying home all day today, lol. That's fine with me since I'm not the most energetic person today. Hubby wants to start his shopping tomorrow and since I need to food shop we will do it all at the same time, tomorrow. That works fine since I need to get started on my reading, which I haven't done yet. Did get the one load of laundry done so the boys can start theirs.
Rented movies last night. Saw Nights in Rodanthe and Fireproof. Nights was ok, but I really liked Fireproof. It's one of those movies that you can really relate to and makes you think. I really wish hubby could have been here to watch it with me, but he'll never make the time. It's sad because I think it would be an eye opening experience for him since we can so relate to that movie. They used the book The Love Dare in the movie and I think I'm going to get the book and try to get hubby on board with this.
Been working on hubby's vest and now that I've measured him, I'm not so sure it's going to fit. It's not so far done that I can't rip it out and start over, but if it's tight he won't wear it. Going to not do anymore and talk to someone in class and see how I can make this larger. I'm thinking it will be tight over the beer belly he's got, lol.
Ok, break time's over for me.

Glad it's Friday
Like most people, I'm glad it is the end of the week. It's been a kind of rough one. Tonight the boys go to youth group and I already rented movies for me to just relax with. We have a local movie place and the selection is usually pretty picked over. Not today though, there must have been at least 4 movies sitting there that I want to see. They are all one day rentals and I don't have that much time to watch movies. I'm hoping they will be there tomorrow when I return the ones I did rent.
The only weekend plans are to catch up on the books. Haven't cracked a book since Tuesday. And food shopping. Of course, lol. Looks like it will be a decent weekend, even though it's raining now. I was looking out my kitchen window this morning and noticed most of the snow was gone. But, what's in it's place is puddles, lol. I keep looking at my swing out there and keep hoping it will soon be dry enough, with the threat of snow gone, that I can go and sit out there.
I've decided that I'm going to go through this uncomfortable process of having my teeth done all over again. I'll have to inform work to. I think I'm going to try to start 2 weeks before hubby comes back from India, that way the small paychecks won't hurt so much. With the warmer weather coming I really want to be able to eat all the veggies we get out of the garden. It has been so hard not being able to eat salads to much. I really miss that, and so does my body, but when you have trouble chewing fruits and veggies, what can you do?
Only a few more knitting classes left. I'm really going to miss that. I was so tired last night and almost didn't go, but was glad I did. I started hubby's vest. What a project that is going to be. He better wear it, lol. After class I stopped by the station and told him I will be getting my wool order for him to take to India with him. I want wool, lol. People are already asking him to pick up some things to take over there to relatives. Me, I buy when I have the money and see something, so my collection is ongoing, lol. I always get stuff for the female relatives. He always buys lots of stuff for the men and never the women. I think that's just wrong.
Had the oldest download the bejeweled game on my ipod. Took the ipod to work today and got to play only a few hours because I didn't have much battery left, lol. I guess playing games really wears the battery down. It was a sleep all day day for my lady. She's been very wild lately, so I knew that was coming. Hope they let her sleep over the weekend so when I come back next week she's herself.
Well, that's it for my boring plans for the weekend, lol.

Starting to feel a little better
Well, I'm slowly beginning to recover from my melt down from yesterday. Still terribly annoyed about the situation, but I haven't made any decisions, yet. I should know, for sure, on Monday when hubby will be leaving for India. And how long. I figure if I start this process all over again, and the lab is true to it's word, and puts a rush on things, I should be done by May. Still another 2 months at most. I was told a month and a half to 2 months. That means by the time hubby might be getting back, I'll have my teeth done. He has to be back by May because I've decided that I'm going on the retreat with the church, even if my mother doesn't go.
Unfortunately, if I go while hubby's away, then I have a short pay week, every week because it about amounts to weekly dentist appts. This is totally lost on hubby. He says to use the tax money if I need it. Well, we just filed. By the time he gets back the tax money will be here. A lot of good that will do me then. But, the mans drinking heavily again so I don't know why I was expecting anything else.
I went to Bible study last night. While I was out someone had called and I just assumed that it was cancelled. Then I talked to the one who answered the phone and got the message I was supposed to return the call. Ooooohhhhhh. She was just calling to see if I was coming since I wasn't in church on Sunday. The she calls back a little while later about wanting to pick me and the boys up because she had to get my neighbor to. Ok, ok Lord, I get it, I'm supposed to be at Bible study. It was pretty much about "spear throwers." Basically they talked a lot about how so many couples have problems in their marriages drinking, abuse, etc. There is one church around this area that had such a problem with this that they started weekly counselling sessions for the couples in the church. But, even though I took notes, the one thing I remember was , God is in control, I'm not. God was giving me a not so subtle message which is why I needed to be there.
I started to lose it so badly yesterday because the last time I went through this I failed the test God gave me miserably. And what happens when you fail a test? You have to do it again. Guess I have to redo my test again this year. The good thing about this is, if I do what I'm supposed to, I won't be put through this again.
Now, to remember that and do it, lol.

Just need to get this out.............
And then throw something.
Was supposed to go to the dentist office tomorrow. Yeah, right, not happening. Supposedly, the lab sent my teeth on Monday. So they say. My dentist office doesn't have them. None of their offices have them. So they say. Bottom line, I have to redo this whole process all over again. From the very beginning. This is a 5 appointment process. I now have a dentist who only works one day a week at that office. This office is 45 minutes away, there isn't an office closer. So, the way I figure it, I won't have this entire thing done until the summer again. August maybe?? Each time you send teeth to the lab, it takes 2 to 4 weeks to get them back. The only other option, is to go without.
The receptionist said that the lab would rush the teeth if I chose to redo the whole process. And it would take 2 months, tops. Like I'm stupid enough to believe that.
The other wonderful news is, the fool will be back on Friday. Hubby is going to India in the next week or so. But, I already knew that. Why, because this is exactly how things started happening before the left the last time. First, the rear in the Jeep goes, days before hubby is supposed to leave. Then we run out of oil, the heater breaks down, twice. I have the clog of the century for a week that no one can seem to take care of, the washer springs a leak, the borrowed car breaks down, and, best of all. In the 9 weeks hubby's gone, I don't get paid, 3 times!!
This nightmare is beginning again.

Trying to get myself back on track
A little Christian History
February 23, 303
The Great Persecution
Day of the Roman Feast
"an edict was posted that ordered all copies of Scripture to be burned' all churches destroyed, their property confiscated, and Christian worship forbidden."
quoted out of One Year Book of Christian History by E. Michael and Sharon Rusten
I thought this was interesting. Learned something already today, lol. There is more, but because it's long and involved and something I have to remember for class, I thought maybe if I post these daily readings, paraphrased, it might help me remember it better to.
This weekend feels like it's just been way to long! Got nothing accomplished, and stayed in bed way to long each morning. I decided today that I need to get myself back on track. So for today, what's left of it, has to be devoted to my class. Has to. It's been a few days since I've done anything with it. Always have good intentions, always have something to side track me. I'm going to set up a reading plan for today, and the rest of the week, and try my very hardest to stick to it.
Boys went to school. I actually was surprised. We got a lot of rain and snow mixed yesterday, then late in the afternoon it all changed over to snow. Hubby called for a ride home around midnight, and there was like a crunchy covering on the snow. My car windows were frozen shut. I didn't even bother scraping, just let it warm up and the defrosters do their job. When I got to the station, hubby cleaned the car off really good for me. I wasn't about to do that in my pj's, lol.
Hubby was up at 5:30 am to get ready to go to a company meeting in Albany that started at 8 am. Poor hubby is in for a really long day :( I do hope he napped on the way there and the way home. He went with the owner/uncle. Don't know how long this is going to be, just hope for his sake it's not an all day training thing. He's going to need a nap for sure. I to was up at 5:30 with him because I had to drop him at the station where the owner was meeting him. But, I went back to bed and slept until almost 11 this morning. Tomorrow is back to reality and I have to be up at my normal time. That's going to really hurt.
I noticed last night and this morning, that none of the side roads were plowed. Just the main roads. You know most kids don't live on the main roads, it's the little side roads. I did think they would have a 2 hour delay, then I passed a bus this morning after dropping hubby off. Wow, normal day with poor road conditions. The super must be desperate. I figure, they've already used all their snow days and then some, what's one more? Especially if the road conditions aren't that great. Some of the other schools did close or do the delay thing. If they weren't maxed out on the snow days, this normally would have been a delayed day. And delayed days do count as school days. So I don't understand the logic, or lack of, behind this decision.
Hubby was telling me that his uncle (the one who has no license and stayed with us) will be coming to get his car maybe sometime next month. This situation really irritates me! Enough said on that.

Hmmm............don't think I like this
A few days ago I downloaded the new aol 9.5. I'm not likin this to much. It remembers to much, lol. Normally if I want to go somewhere I've been, like a day ago, I just pull down my history, find it and click on it. What I'm finding now is I have to click on the exact one I want. I used to go to the history and click on the dashboard and it would bring me to my blog. Now, it brings me to the last exact page I was on. I don't like that, lol. I do like that you can open multiple pages and and there is a tab at the top so you can see which is which. So far that is the only thing I have found that I really like.
I'm so tired today. I don't think I got enough sleep or something, just not feeling with it today, lol. Might go lay down for a while later. The oldest is home from work and hubby is at work. I just went to bed last night and hubby was on the phone wanting his ride home. Then, it seemed like shortly after that, the oldest was waking me for a ride to work. Must be all the interruptions in my sleep last night that is catching up to me. Tomorrow hubby has to go to a meeting with the owner and I have to have him at the owners house by 7:30 am. I'm going back to bed after. There's just no way. I've finally discovered that sleep is important. I never used to feel that way before.
We were supposed to get lots of snow today, but it's looking like it's just going to be rain with a little snow. I even stayed up to watch the late news last night and the predictions were for 4" to 7" of the white stuff. Well, the snow we had the other day is melting and it's just wet out there now. I did hear on the radio this morning mostly rain for us. Guess the storm changed track. That's fine, I really wasn't looking forward to more snow. I like the snow and the cold, but for some reason I'm starting to look forward to the milder temps. Not the heat and the humidity, just into the 50's and 60's so I can go outside with a sweat shirt on and sit on my swing and enjoy the outside. That's my favorite thing to do in the warmer weather. My swing was the best gift hubby ever got me.
Going to do some catching up on here and save the studying for tomorrow I think. I did catch a short nap and I feel so much better. For some reason I just don't sleep well at night lately. It's like I can't get comfortable enough to relax to sleep.
From the pics I posted yesterday I was bored and playing, lol. I now know there is an easier way to post pics. Oh well, you learn by trial and error. Still have to play with the sizing of them and probably other stuff, but I'm slowly learning. When I want to do this stuff I never have the time to actually sit down and do it so I thought since I really didn't have anything else I wanted to do, now was the time to at least set some things up so when I want to post a pic, I'll be able to.
Hubby's still wanting to go to India next month. Not sure if it's going to happen. He was telling me yesterday that the owner told him he could go, when the fool comes back. The fool is supposed to be back on Friday of this week. Hubby was saying something about maybe the fool won't be back until the first week in March. If he comes back then, hubby won't be able to go. His friends daughter is getting married on the 10th of March. There's talk of the fool coming back the 5th of March. Not enough time for hubby to go. Hubby was saying his friend would be way to mad since he postponed his daughters wedding so hubby could be there. I can see the guy getting upset, but I would think the guy would understand. I'd hope. Hubby was saying he would go around November instead to see a holiday celebration they have over there. It's a big celebration, similar to our Christmas. He said it's been 12 years since he's been in India to see that celebration. I'd rather he go then. He can take the time to save the money and maybe not have to borrow from the owner for the trip. He's already been saving money to use while he's over there. This way he would have more. He would also be able to take the oldest with him. The oldest wants in the worst way to go. It would be a nice thing for the 2 of them to go and the weather is not to hot at that time. So, we'll see what happens with that.
The kids go back to school tomorrow. I'm so looking forward to that, lol. Now, if they would just go to school every day until June, I'd be a happy mom, lol!
