Well, we finally moved.

Ugh, try moving from a 3 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom apartment. BooHooHooooo!! These last few weeks have been hectic and tiring, both physically and mentally. But we are finally settled. Well, as settled as can be.

So, the last two weeks of school for the kids was crazy. First of all we had the end of the year picnics, and a final kindergarden field trip. June 7 was the k trip. We went to the San Fransisco Zoo. That was the same day we signed the lease for the apartment. Then Thursday, Friday, Saturday was busy with moving things, sorting through boxes that had been in the attic for nearly two years, and unwillingly submitting to throwing away a bunch of stuff. And it was hard. ;( Tons of stuff that was up there was ruined by the damn rats. Remember when I said that we had to deal with them? Anyway, stuffed animals and books and clothes, just ruined from the urine of the rats. Some stuff was even chewed up. So I had to get rid of a lot. That was not fun.

So by the time Monday rolls around I was more than just tired. My entire body was aching and sore from having to move. We are now in a third floor aparment. Up two flights of stairs with boxes was not the best thing to do. I don't recommend it. Ever. But anyway, Tuesday comes and we have the Kindergarden end of the year picnic. It was fun. We went to the local park, which is the main spot for all kindergarden and first grade picnics for most of the schools. The kids had a blast, played on the equipment, had a few scraped knees, jumped off trees... you get the picture. So then Wednesday was the 2nd grade picnic to the beach. Oh, boy. I should have thought to bring extra shoes and socks for my son. The tide was waaay low that day and nearly everyone decided to go crab and fish hunting in the rocks. Of course it was really muddy. Out of 60 kids, maybe one brought extra shoes and socks. Of course his mom brought them for him, remembering last year's trip with his older brother. Too bad she didn't say anything to the other moms!

The picnics out of the way and one more day of school. Thursday, June 15 was the offical last day of school for the kids. My daughter graduated from kindergarden!! I thought that I would cry, since she is the younger, but I didn't. At least dad came this year. He didn't for his son. :x Oh, well, what can I do about it now. So after school got let out at 11:30 am, we went to Fresh Choice for lunch since that is what the kids wanted to do. Then we went home and watched a movie.

So I didn't do much in the way of unpacking since we moved until the 23rd. At least I got books put away on the bookshelves, and some clothes put away. But we didn't have our beds put together still. My mom bought us a new couch, knowing we did not have any living room furniture other than folding chairs. So Saturday Dh put the beds together, and I tried to put the rest of the stuff away that was in the boxes taking up all the room in the living room. Sunday, DH played soccer and then we went to pick up the couch. So finally the living room looks like a living room. No more boxes cluttering the way. Of course, now I still have to put away clean clothes and wash the dirty. That will never end. The apartment manager said that laundry is also known as infinity. He's right, it never ends.

So that's what's been happening in my life the last month. Saturday starts a whole 'nother month to worry about.

A little fun stuff just for you!!

I'm trying to be more positive in life!! So I'm not going to post my woes for a while!! Here's some fun stuff that I have come accross recently (mostly in emails)! I have more, but I will post them later!!

The Ulitmate Female Joke

It has long been contended that there are male jokes and there are female jokes. And there are unisex jokes. Here is a joke I consider a true female joke. I offer it to you in the hopes that women will love it and men will pass it along to a woman who will love it.

A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him. The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her. (As all men will.)

Before she could offer her apologies for so rudely staring, he leaned over and whispered to her, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $20.00, on one condition."

Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The man replied, You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words."

The woman considered his proposition for a moment, and then slowly removed a $20 bill from her purse, which she pressed into the man's hand along with her address. She looked deeply into his eyes, and slowly and meaningfully said....

"Clean my house."

Immigration Support!!

Ok, even though I've had rough times with DH and I have often wanted to kill him ;), we really do have good times, and he does support me in stuff I do, albeit not the way I would like...

So I also support him and anything that upsets him. Like this immigration issue. Boy oh, boy is that really worrying him. Not that he could get deported, he is a legal resident, and has been for about 5 years. He's worried that he may be stopped from applying for citizenship.

Well, I inadvertatly started a thread at the forum I so lovingly call my second home (mommyjobs) and something amazing happend. There were a few friends that supported the idea, and one person who was misunderstood to be against the whole issue. That wasn't my objective at all. All I wanted was to see who was supporting the marches and rallies that were ongoing today nationwide. My friend Camille posted it about it, A day without immigrants, which is what the organizers are calling today, May 1, 2006.

This is my stand:

The United States of America were built by immigrants, and developed by immigrants, and have always supported immigrants. Immigrants view America as the only nation that is open to all cultures and languages. Now, we have Democrats and Republicans fighting immigration, and the whole point of our nation has been forgotten. Now, Mexico is considering making it legal for people to posses small amounts of drugs, but still illegal to sell, hoping to curb the drug traffic. But the political environment here screams and wants to completely close off the border, and pleads to the Mexican government not to allow their drug policy to go forward. And Mexico is pleading to the US that they not allow this immigration policy to go forward. WTF? And what about all the other people that are considered immigrants?? It's not just Mexicans!! There are Europeans, Iranians, Chinese, Japanese, Argentinian, Egyptian, and the list goes on and on and on and on... CMON PEOPLE This stupid immigration thing seems like a personal vendetta againgst spanish speaking people. AND I WILL BOYCOTT THE GOVERNMENT UNTIL THEY STOP THIS CRAP!!! Families are being pulled apart for no reason. Deserving people are being denied urgent medical care. There is no American Dream anymore.

Why did England send people over here in the first place? To start over and make a better life for themselves!! So why do so many people want to come here now??? To START OVER AND MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR THEMSELVES!!!!!

I'm really mad now! I find these proposed laws extremely against the whole founding idea of the US. If these laws pass, I will gladly renounce my citizenship. It's not worth it.

Edit-My other good friend Jac also has a strong stand, which is nearly identical to mine: you can read about it in her post Support Illegal Immigration.
I don't have an account where she blogs so I couldn't leave a comment- so here it is now! There is a reason why I fell in love with my spouses family! They accepted me with no if's and's or but's and my mother in law cries each time I leave when I visit! I enjoy the peace I have when I visit Mexico and I would live there if I did renounce my citizenship! No questions asked. The people down there have such a postive attitude for life that is not apparent here, unfortunately.

My bad week...

I've been to the hospital twice now becasue I got a staph infection in my left leg. I just wrote about the dangers of staph and my problems on my other blog. Needless to say, I have had a bad week. And now I have to worry about the hospital bills ;( I have no insurance. I don't know what to do. I have not been able to make money from my biz. Actually from neither of them. And autosurfing is no way to make money either. I've lost about $15 there, which was all loose change, but frustrating nonetheless. Forgive me, I need to go bawl my eyes out now. No money + bad infection= AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! ;( ;( ;( ;(

WHY ARE MEN SUCH BAD LIARS???

My vent is about DH. Nearly every day this week he comes home and immediately falls on the bed and goes to sleep. He doesn't even bother to move things off the bed, whether it's clean clothes or other, he just falls onto the bed with his dang dirty work clothes still on and falls asleep. He sleeps for a couple of hours, then he wakes up, takes a shower, and immediately goes to the store and comes home with an 18 pack of beer. Then he and his buddies proceed to plow through at least four 18 packs, tear the kitchen apart with thier munchies, and stay up listening to music until nearly 2 in the morning. Now like I said, this has happened nearly everyday this week, starting on Wednesday. Saturday he didn't even go to work. Friday night, actually Saturday morning he finally came to bed at 5am. Friday afternoon he and his buddies decided to have a bbq in the front yard of all places. So of course now there is approximately 6+ boxes of empty beer cans, and quite a few empty cans piled up in front of the kitchen windows, on the ground.

He finally confessed to me last night too, that he has been talking on the phone to his ex-girlfriend nearly every day since December. He confessed that he nearly left me and the kids to go back with her. She still lives in Mexico. He ran into her when he was there in December, and says that he still feels something for her, but that it's just a great friendship feeling, not love. He claims he loves his kids and me enough that he would never leave us. He'd rather deal with my mood swings and laziness than leave his children to be with another woman. I knew that he had been speaking to some girl on the phone, cause he would leave the house to make the phone call and if I caught him on the phone he would walk away or ask me to shut up. so I already knew that he was talking to someone else.

*SIGH* I just can't trust anybody. ;(

I have to write about this...

I don't really know how to put my feelings into words about this subject. It's a little tender for some, but the info I just was introduced to makes me, well, extremely pissed. I'm talking about the events leading up to, during, and after 9/11.

At mommyjobs.com, we had been discussing this subject, rather heatedly, I might add. Here's the link if you're interested http://mommyjobs.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=3090. But what comes into play is the fact that on April 28, the first of two 9/11 movies will be released in the movie theaters. This movie is about what the families believe transpired aboard Flight 93, the one that crashed into a field in Pensylvania.

Or did it? What about the American Airlines flight that crashed into the pentagon??? Did it really? And why was there so much controversy about the subsequent events with the twin towers? They shouldn't have fallen, that much has been said, but were they damaged enough from the planes to fall like that????

I urge you to watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGEb40o17yE. This is part one of three. You will need to watch all three. Watch them with your full attention, at a time where you will not get distracted. You will need about one hour and thirty minutes to devote to watching all three videos. Warning, you may feel sick to your stomach after you finish watching them.

I have nothing more to say about this right now.

Rain, Whining, and Lack of $$$

Sara, you really got me with this one!
Ok, so Sara, my buddy, has a great blog entitled My Mothers Fault, and in that post she was dealing with the "mama guilt." UHHH I can totally relate!

Here I was today, trying to deal with the darn rain, two whining kids who wanted to go into Target to buy a new game for the gameboy, and needing to get gas and pay for DD's doctor appointment somehow! I had $19 in cash and I had to fork out $100 total or the doc wouldn't see her. So I forked over the last of my precious $$, and maxed out my CC with the rest of the payment. Then the doc gives me a precription for DD for an eye infection, which means I have to go to Target anyway to fill it. UGH! So the kids start whining again, and I have just barely enough left on my Target card to pay for DD's meds and some brownies for her and her brother. But of course, he wanted to buy a game, either for the computer or the gamboy. Sheesh! They can't understand me when "I say I have no money!" So now I start to get the mama guilt! I never wanted to turn into my mother! Thank goodness she hates the computer and doesn't even go on the internet, cause she wouldn't want to read my life crisis the way I put them out! Half of the stuff I have blogged about she doesn't even know about and I'd like to keep it that way! But I am afraid I am starting to act like her with my kids, so I can truly say that "it's my mother's fault!'
