Randy @ MindSay

A fast update of a bit of everything. 

1.  I have started getting my mail on an every other day biases!  My moms is sooo proud of me!  I started because I was waiting for checks to come in for the kids and various First Communion presents from all the family and "pagany" friends that sent to them.  Now I am waiting on my checks to come in.  So now that I have gotten in the habit we can start actually "writting".  Craftywench dear, I need you to email us full addy and your mini me's name and your name again.  DeLaney said she won't promise any decent letters (they just got done with proper letter writing at school so she is burnt out) but she will write!

2.  I was very upset with my TKD Academy instructor Monday and ran into Aj's wife yesterday and told her why.  It looks like my cousin's wife has been talking and the owner/instructor is beleiving every word she has to say about me.  Which is funny as hell cause the stuck up bitch doesn't KNOW me, doesn't talk to me outside of saying hi, and thinks I am "white trash" cause I don't dress in brand name clothes.  Carrie is upset over this cause she had to deal with my cousin's wife talking shit about her last year.  AJ is going to talk to me Friday cause he is worried that after we get our black belt at the end of this year beginning of next year instead of stickign around that we will leave the Academy.  AJ knows that I don't put up with this type of shit but I am also not going to play highschool bull shit games, I'll call the instructor and cousin's wife out and be dayumed any family fall out.

3.  After 7 years (i though it was 5 until my moms counted back) I actually took myself to my hair stylist and got my hair colored.  The kdis and I got our hair cut Wensday or Thrusday last week and I splurged on hair color yesterday.  I think I look kick ass hot with my new do.  The bottom half of my hair is a purply reddish brown and the upper layers are reddish brown.  So when I put my sides up you can see the purple and when I actually blow dry curl my bangs you can see it also!  My hair stylist instead of charging me for my length which at the moment is short and thickness of my hair (usually takes a lot of dye for my hair even when short) she charged me just for shortness for two different dyes even though the bottom dye she used a full bottle of it she said!  I was very happy over not paying close to 100 for my dye like normal!  It was closer to 50!

4.  I don't know if I told you all about the plan I had in plotting progress but I started it.  At the end of May when my kdis get out of school, instead of taking them on their first camping trip, they will be staying with Pappo and Mammo (Unless daddy is home those two days) while Mommy is bettering herself.  I registered for 1 of 6 classes to start my certificate/licensing process to become a Certified and eventually Licensed Drug/Alchohal (sp?  can't ever spell that word) Counselor!  The total amoutn of classes is $1300.00 but you only pay for the class your taking.  And if the class that is scheduled doesn't fit in your schedule you just wait for the next one to be listed, it doesn't hurt you!  It is through the Lincoln Medical Center and a program called TAP out of Lincoln.  The series of classes are held every 6 months.  Sometimes on the Western/Central parts of the state and the other times on the Eastern/Central part of the state.  Right now they are in the Western/Central parts of the state but I am going down to a weekend class in Lincoln the day my kdis get out of school for the first class.  I have NOT told Randy yet, because Randy told NOW would come up with a way to sabatoge my plans and he wouldn't even realize it.  Once it comes closer I will inform him and he will get over it.  My parents and my sister (and one friend) are stepping to the plate to help with the kids especially when it comes to the week long classes coming up.  After I do the classes I have to intern at 1 of 4 places near me or try to get on at the IHS out paitent clinic.  Once I get that over with I can get licensed and work anyplace in NE as a counselor.  I am going to hold out for the IHS Drug/Booze Dependency Unit to be up and operational to get on with the Tribe/Gov't.  They are in the process of building it now right next to the new IHS hospital my moms works at!

5.  My garden is tilled and my onions planted.  I have to find my other seed to get the other cold weather seeds in, my herb garden needs one more tillign and then I can plant that, and Coltin's room is about done with the fixing of cracks so I can paint!

6.  Randy has been an ass lately so when he is home this week we will hash that out.

Over all life has been good.  I even wrote gwydionjim a letter while he is at boot camp.  He might even get another one here when I mail out the last of the kids' thank you cards for all their First Communion Presents!  Yes I make my kids do snail mail thank yous!

Seriously.  Go get a calandar, for those who know me, and mark it on the calandar that I apologized to Randy last evening.  I am honing in on my time of the month.  I don't get bitchy or extermely moody during my time.  On my cycle, I get tired and crabby but not bitcy.  The week to two weeks before my cycle I get down right nasty bitchy.  Worse then I ever am normally.  Well we can tell I am in that week or two weeks now.:D

I snapped for absolutly NO REASON on Randy and the kids yesterday afternoon.  As anyone knows with kids, you can clean and clean and clean your house and NEVER will it look cleaned.  You can wash and wash clothes and NEVER be done with laundry.  And I looked around my house yesterday and said FUCK IT!  I was soooooooo tired of cooking and cleaning.  Definatally got full on Spring Fever now.  Yay that is my excuse! 

Picked hte kids up from school and lectured them on the fact I am tired of cooking and cleaning for their ungrateful asses.  The kids must have known I was getting close to snapping because no smart ass remarks and they did minor things for me when we got home.  Before we left for CCD class last night (I had a stupid parent meeting while they were in class-that put me in a BAD MOOD just thinking of dealin with one of the nuns and some die hard catholic parents) I called Randy and point blank said his ass was leaving work somewhat early tonight because I had it with cooking and cleaning.  Basically snapped at the poor man for no reason what so ever.

Put him in a nasty mood himself:D  My work was done really.  But when I walked in from CCD class with the kids, Randy had my kitchen cleaned back up, the dinning room, and living room pretty much done, and a load of laundry going!  Not to mention, instead of making a meat loaf or burgers like I told him to wiht the burger in the fridge, Randy went out and got a package of steaks, a package of herbed garlic taters, and a package of green beans and some of my smoked bacon to chopp up and put in the greenbeans with butter!  You know that put me in a good mood and got me all horny!  And if you didn't read my one blog about what makes a woman horny go back and find it and you will realize why it made me horny to see a clean house, and a man in the kitchen!:D

I decieded that I did snap on the poor defenseless man for no reason and it really wasn't his fault that I have Spring Fever so I said sorry.  He stopped in the middle of chopping up the onions and shrooms to saute for hte steaks and asked me if I had a fever.  I shockeded him.  I apologize grudingly for things I know I was in the wrong about but never about the whole household shit!

After that we had a good evening, Randy took over with the kids and DeLaney got spanked for the first time in about 6 months for being a lil pig.  When Randy cleaned out the living room he found tons of her shit she was stashing behind my couch and has heard me constantly telling her to get out of my living room.  Then the kids went upstairs cleaned their rooms and procedded to use their new prank book and set up tons of pranks.  Randy stayed up longer than 8:30 since he has today and Friday off.  I am letting him sleep in.  Mark that on the calandar also.  Usually on his days off in the middle of the week, I make the man take the kids to school.  I am being a nice wife again.  I figure he can take the kids to school on Friday!:D 

Paging Dr. DoLittle!  Paging Dr. DoLittle!  Your needed at Niassa's house STAT!

We had a ruff night last night.  Randy and I did that is.  Our poor dog had a ruffer night the poor baby.  So ruff that I am having to call my cousin aka my Vet and see what she wants to do with my doggy. 

The kdis and I got home at 10 pm last night.  We were going to go to taekwondo until I realized half way up to the city that it was Bring a Board Break a Buddy night aka Bring a Buddy Break a Board night.  So instead, we went with our friends to celebrate a 10th bday!  The kids went and saw Water Horse and us adults went and saw In the Name of the King.  (Don't waste your money on In the Name of the King!)

Anyway I finally crawled into bed at 11 last night.  Randy had been sleepign since about 8:30.  He enjoyed his night home with out any noise let me tell you.  At 11:30 pm, Spud was having a dream or so we thought!  He normally starts running in his sleep and barking and one of us has to nudge him on his doggy bed to get him to turn over!  Just like I have to kick Randy to get him to turn over when he gets to snoring to loud! 

Well we couldn't get Spud to stop and then he started growlign and moaning.  I sat up and told Randy to go get the lights, I wanted to see what was wrong with my dog.  As Randy was crawling out of bed to go turn the lights on, Spud got with it enough to try and get off of his doggy bed but couldn't walk, tried to bark then and couldn't.  He managed to crawl over by our basket of clothes over Randy's dirty clothes.  Randy got the light on and we realized my poor dog was having a seizure!  Randy tried walkign over to him to make sure his tongue wasn't going down his throat or that he was bitting it and by that time Spud was coming otu of it and growled at Randy.  Randy stopped and talked to him a bit to let him know he wasn't going to hurt him.  The seizure lasted about 10 minutes.

After Spud got his body back he was so tired and huffing and puffing.  Randy picked him up, which by the way is no mean feat with a dog that is way over weight and we only managed to get about 5 lbs off of him before winter hit, so that he could get a drink and didn't have to walk down the stairs.  After Randy and Spud got their drink, Randy even let Spud come sleep between us but then he couldn't go back to sleep and he slept on the coach last nigth cause Randy feel asleep watchin the History Channel.

This morning, Randy and I talked and as far as we know this is Spud's first siezure.  But for all we know he could have had others when we weren't around.  So I am calling my cousin the vet and going to ask her what we should do.  Watch and wait or bring him up.  Tammy my cousin knows I dont' waste a lot of money on animals so if the tests are to expenseive I will just ask for somethign to keep Spud comfy and if he is sick probably put him down.

I really hope he isn't that sick cause Teri (the lady we got the dog from) woudl be devestated as would her lil boy whose dog it actually is!  Tehy still claim Spud as theirs but they know he is apart of our family now especially when he HATE Teri's hubby and Teri said Spud HATED men, and Spud LOVEs Randy and is very friendly towards all men with us.

Spud has been very loving towards all of us this morning and Randy said he had to pull Spud out of the work truck cause he wanted to go with Daddy this mornign at 5:30.  I think Spud has realized we will take care of him the poor thing.

We had an interesting day today, let me tell ya!  I was up at 4 am because I slept through my pain pill dosage and I tried popping up out of bed.  Yay that was fun!  We sleep on a queen size air mattress that sits on two twin size box springs.  Really close to the floor!  I had a folded over pillow under my knees and a huge comforter underneith my feet so I wouldn't feel the blood loss  I tried to turn over on to my stomach and can we say I yelped like a cat who got wet the first time and rolled myself out of the bed!  Randy slept straight through it!  Even my muttering and cursing trying to find the wall that had the cane next to it!  I found the cane and realized with my knee hurting and stiff there was no way I was going down the steps upright.  I tossed the cane down the stairs and proceeded down the steps on my ass!

Anyway I got my pain pill, checked on the boys sleeping on one of the hidabeds and hobbled my way back up the stairs.  Yes, I mananged to kick Randy with my good leg........by accident of course I again woke up at 6 am because I heard the subtle sound of the tv going from one channel to the other so realized one of the boys was up and around.  I again slid my butt down the stairs and made coffee, gimped into the bathroom and grabbed a load of towels to start laundry and wondered into the living room where Austin was up and watching cartoons.  He came into the kitchen with me and DeLaney wondered downstairs.  Austin and DeLaney proceeded to make waffles while I busted out the apple slices and dip for breakfast.  It was a nice morning .........no fighting!  Having a kid in the hosue that isn't related to DeLaney does wonders to my mood!  Finally Austin decieded Coltin had to get up so he went and put the kitten's butt in Coltin's face and threw a pillow on him to boot!  Coltin came in grouchy as normal and I told him to stop and you know what that lil punk ass kid of mine said?!? 

"You better watch out mom cause I will hide your cane and crutches on you!"

Dayum kid takes after me way too much!  Finally about 8 am, Randy wondered down and grabbed a cup of coffee and a cig and wondered into the living room.  Where he promptly challenged Coltin and Austin to a game of Halo 2!  Then he had the nerve to tell me I should really sit down and get off my leg.  I ignorned him liek normal:D

I just sat down at the kitchen table to enjoy reading the news, blogging on mindsay and drinking my coffee ......I realized that DeLaney and Casey (her friend that went to taekowndo with us) had Shondeen's birthday party at the Roller Rink afterwards and I had NO LITTLE GIRL gifts in the house!  I hurried up called Brenda (Casey's mom) and asked her what she got because we do the cheap bday shopping at the same place.  I have I said that I love Dollar General?  Got the run down of what they got Shondeen and rearranged our plans to meet from our place to Dollar General. 

I didn't want to mess with putting the ribbon on my cane that Randy got me so while DeLaney and I were choosing a variety of Faery and Princess items that didn't match what Casey got Shondeen I found myself some purple bows to put on the cane!

The whole time trying to walk as fast as I could up and down the toy isle at Dollar General and get in and out of Randy's big ass Truck!  Again Randy goes you really need to sit down and get off that knee!  I of course continued to ignore him!:D

We get to taekowndo.  The girls rode with Brenda and the boys with Randy and I.  Teri and her boys, Conner and Colin meet us up at the Academy.  While the kids were busy breaking boards, Randy was busy playing on his cell phone, Brenda, Teri, and I were discussing the rowdiness of kids and what we were doing for the Eqouinoix (sp?) and ohing and awwwwwwing over the kids breaking their wooden boards.  My cousin's boy Ryan came in for a private lesson to make up for all the classes he has been missing from football and harvesting and his brother Eric got himself a date tonight.........an older woman!  He is a sophmore and she is a senior!  Go Eric!  Again Randy made a bid at getting me to sit down and this time I told him to shut up!  Teresa, Ryan's mom, started laughing at Randy and said just be happy she is standnig in one spot!  Brenda took the girls to the birthday party and we took the boys to Micky D's and then Austin on home!

Again where Randy got all uppity about me sitting down and taking a pain pill!  Well I couldn't very well sit down after taking a pain pill because Brenda would be bringing DeLaney home!  Doesn't that man know anything?  So I did a few more loads of laundry, sanded and added soem more spackle to my hall way wall that had a hole in it and finally finished priming the kitchen and started painting the color on the wall!  All the while gimping to and from the kitchen to the living room!  Finally I had to go outside because Brenda showed up and Dooley was all tangled up on his chain and me and gravel just don't get along so I had to grab the cane again! 

You should have seen me!  Climbing up on a chair to get up high and then trying to figure out how to get down with out jumping on my knee!  I figured it out though!  Grab the non painted wall for balance and jump off with the left foot first!  Finally after cooking dinner (Steak, Cottage Fries, and Tomatoes!) Randy grabbed my cane from me while I was sitting down and put it across the room!  Theif!!!!  Handed me a pain pill and said shut up, swallow the dayum pill and put your leg up woman!  I love it when he gets all manly on me!

The above pictures are of me finally getting off the couch after he got all manly on me and I was screwing around going "Look at my pimp walk!"  Don't I have some sexy legs!  And just for you pervs out there wondering!   No, I don't have anything on under my tshirt!  :D

I bet your all waiting for pictures of our taekowndo testing huh?  Well your going to wait a bit longer because I am not going downstairs to upload them to my laptop!  I am having fun using my new monitor!  Flat 19" Screen:D  Wow I have a lot of room on my desk now!

Randy, my idiot hubby (yes I do love him but he is an idiot) took some good pictures and some crap pictures of testing.  He didn't know how to get off his non existing ass to get better shots!  Anyway I'll post them later.  We all passed and got our Yellow Belts (our academy goes white, orange, then yellow) and now I am going to be a belt rank behind the kids unless I heal fast and convience the doctor and physical therapist to let me do what I want to do after my surgery friday!    Dayum my knees!

I also got some pictures of Randy attempting to making homemade pizza last night.  Yay the dumb ass thoguht he was going to be home this weekend and not have to cook or take me out for a supper.  I dont' give a rats ass if we went out for lunch/dinner after taekowndo testing the man owes me one night a week where he cooks or takes me out when he is home.  His mother is a right piece of work, didn't teach the man how to make homemade pizza.  I ended up having to help him through out the process.  But now he knows how to make it with out my help.  He no longer is to cook me steak.  He ruins my meat!  I want medium rare or MOOOOOOOOOing steak and he doesn't pay attention and gives me well or medium well steaks and that is just a waste of decent meat cause I won't eat that unless it is in a stew pot!  But Randy does make mean cassorales, just don't give him a can opener with a can of peas or frozen peas, he goes a bit pea crazy!

Anyway I am going to finally start cleaning and putting away my computer room/office today.  It is going to take a while because I have three printers, a lot of boxes, wires, papers up the ass that have been thrown in here since we moved in during Feburary and short on money and time to get various racks, book cases, and shelves.  Tell ya what I am going to do though, I'll take progress pictures! 

Well I am off, I have to finish priming the last bit of the kitchen so I can get paint tomorrow for hte kithen walls!  I am hosting Thanksgiving this year so my walls down stairs have to be done, as does my computer room/office, and I have to figure out what I am doing with the rest of hte mudporch items!
