2.1 Hermi, I am really angry with my sister right now and just want to say something to hurt her so badly. But I'm not gonna, because that's what feeds the fire.
I am so tired of her projecting her miserable life onto others, then getting angry when we tell it like it is. I mean, a person can only take so much right? So I am right there with ya, so angry all the time. We should start a club. The ABC's.

1. I have my pool OPEN!!!

2. For the first time ever, the water was not green or brown when I opened it.

3. It's a little chilly at night to get in yet.

4. I am beyond tired, but this too shall pass!

1. I had to fill out the packet of paperwork for Caleb for high school today (needed Darren's signature and he'll be gone, so had to get it now.)

2. Some of the questions they ask, geez. They want to know Caleb's first day of Kindergarten...the actual date! Er, I dunno, what the heck was the first day of school in 2001 for green track? They want to know what school Kota will be going to...again, I dunno, no one's told me yet! Then they want to know if he's ever been convicted of a felony or spent time in a juvenile hall or camp! What kind of school is my kid going to???? I never had to answer questions like that for elementary and jr high school!

3. Darren leaves in the morning for almost two weeks. Thought I was doing ok with it, but don't think I am...we've never spent that much time apart.

4. Was glad though that we decided to have the kids spend the night at my sisters tonight. Dakota was very upset when we left and I think if she'd been home tonight she'd have spent most the night in tears. As it was she had her cousins to distract her so she's doing ok.

5. On the other hand, I can proudly say I got everything he needed packed, packed into one suitcase! I was doubting it for a few minutes, but then I realized it would zip up easily.

3.1 Hope your doing alright without Darren Wargod!!


1. Stomach is in knots.

2. Going to Small Claims court today to sue the last owners of this house for taking my washer/dryer and various other things.

3. Its actually just the mediated settlement conference you have to go thru first before your day in court.

4. Afterwards I'm treating myself to a great dinner out. YUM!

5. Work is crazy busy. Its my year end and I'm so far behind

6. Filed my taxes ahead of time...for the first time ever!!!

1. Doing ok, I guess. I enjoy spending time with Darren, so when he's not around I miss that. Makes it tougher too that our schedules are backwards...during the day when I'm not busy, he's at work, and when he's getting off work, I'm just getting busy with the kids.

2. Dakota is not doing good at all though. Yesterday was really hard on her cuz she didn't get to talk to him at all. Caleb's ok, his thing is "it's only two weeks, not forever," lol.

3. The softball team misses him, lol. He's the coach that gets out and runs with them and goofs off with them.

4. I hope court goes well for you Cinnamon! What a pain to have to go through.

5. Have to take my car to the tire store today. I picked up a nail somewhere.

6. We got Kota's softball pics back yesterday. Turned out pretty cute. We had a buddy pic done with her and oldest and middle nieces that is great.

7. Caleb's been growing his hair out. Longest it's ever been (though compared to a lot of the boys around here it's not all that long.) His drama coach is making him pull it back in a pony tail for the play though, lol.

2.1 Wargod, my Dad used to leave every summer for two weeks for boot camp and boy did we cry. Mom cried too, but we didn't realize at the time that she was crying because he was leaving her by herself with five kids LOL. The homecoming was always so joyous though, those are some of the best home movies we have. It didn't hurt that he always brought us each a gift from wherever he was stationed. Maybe Darren could pick out a little something for the kids that is sort of native to wherever he is, with some kind of local story behind it. Takes the sting off a little LOL.

2.2 My father used to go to Oklahoma for 2 weeks during the summer (not every summer but maybe 3 times when i was growing up) and on that middle weekend he used to rent a car and go down to Texas for the weekend to visit his sister (who was divorced with 5 kids) and he used to help her fix things around the house, but anyways he used to pick up each one of us kids a little something

2.3 He's already pondering what to bring them back, lol. A little difficult cuz he really doesn't have time to go do touristy type stuff or shop around.

2.4 We're hoping these training trips won't be too frequent, but we do know he'll have to make them occassionaly every few years.

2.5 LOL about your poor mom, Gal! Being alone with just 2 kidlets and all their activities and moods is a bit overwhelming.

1. How's it going, Wargod? Time passing okay?

2. Cinnamon, hope it went well in small claims court.

3. You know it is spring when teenage girls everywhere break their school's dress code.

4. I'm awash in a sea of cleavage and short skirts/shorts.

5. And tans. I keep expecting tans to go out of style, given our better awareness of the bad effects of too much sun, but nope. They all still want to be as tan as possible.

6. This has been one of those weeks at work that I have screwed up almost everything I have tried to do. I can count 4 specific screwups I did this week. I could not be more glad that it is Friday. Hopefully next week will be better.

7. There are some creepy lechers out there. Just sayin'.

8. I need a back scratcher. Too bad they don't come in Viggo shape and size.

1. Times passing, Hermie, not really quickly but it's passing.

2. Darren is looking forward to Sunday when he picks up one of his work buddies (from here) at the airport. Guy has his own training to do and it'll give Darren someone to hang out with, eat with, and talk to. Actually, Darren's more looking forward to next Thrusday when he comes home, but he'll settle for having someone he knows there.

3. Dakota's been holding conversations with dad in her sleep. I laid in bed and listened to her for awhile last night as she told him about everything that had happened yesterday. Kinda funny, cuz she's been talking to him on the phone and im'ing him for days so he's already pretty up to date on whats going on.

4. Caleb said last night, "I need a man to talk to!" LOL, then he grabbed the phone and called my bil and headed off to his bedroom. We have a standing policy with sis and bil that if any of the kids talk to any of us about something, as long as it isn't scary or dangerous we keep the kids confidence, so I haven't asked bil what they talked about and he hasn't offered to tell me.

5. Over the years, I've had plenty of phone calls from school nurses. It's always the same..."I have Caleb or Dakota in the office not feeling well. I can let them rest here for a while and send them back to class or you can come pick them up."

7. Today I got a new call. "I have Dakota in the office and you need to come pick her up right away!" Uh oh, this has to be serious...chicken pox, Excorcist type vomiting, head lice, something cuz she's not giving me an option! Then she says Kota has a 102.8 fever. She was feeling fine this morning, what the heck? Says her throat is sore and her head hurts. So now she's in bed, drugged up and watching tv and waiting to see if the fever goes away or if she gets worse and we'll have to go to urgent care.

8. Really bad timing. I'm supposed to watch my nieces overnight (sis has a work thing tonight) and middle niece has a game I was supposed to take her to. The t-ball and coach pitch teams get one game on the big field a season and it's a huge deal to them with the scoreboard, lights, and announcer. Poor kid was already sad mom and dad weren't going to be there, now I can't either.

9. So sis is going to try to find a friend to take her and keep her til they're done with sis' work function. Oldest niece and baby niece will come over here (while Kota hangs out in the bedroom) for a couple hours and then they'll go home. Dangit, and sis just called to remind me middle niece is singing in school this afternoon and I was supposed to be there!

9.5 Why it's such bad timing...this has been a fairly quiet week for us and we haven't had all that much to do. Dakota had a game cancelled due to rain, neither of the kids have had practices and I really haven't had anything planned because it's a school week. Me and the kidlets were looking forward to todays plans just to get out of the house for a few hours and have something to do.

2.1 Court went okay....actually it was brutal. The lady I went against was super pissed off and really took it out on me...but in the end I settled for a new washer/dryer set and gave up the other items. Worked for me cuz that was my main beef. She had to write me a cheque right then and there and boy, was she bitter. Serves her right.... but I hope to never have to go thru that process again..too stressful for me. I think I cried for an hour straight afterwards just from the emotional release...

ps..Hope Dakotas feeling better!!

2.2 Glad court went ok, Cinnamongirl, but sorry it was so stressful.

2.3 Dakota is not feeling better. I'm holding out hope she has whatever it is oldest niece has (she got sick Thursday and finally started to feel a little better last night.) Going to give Kota a few more hours and if she still feels so lousy and is running a fever then I'll make a decision about taking her to urgent care. Better to go there later in the day since it'll be less crowded and quicker.

1. Dakota still isn't feeling good, but she is better. Her fever went down for a couple hours, came back up when the meds wore off but not as high as it had been.

2. She was also up and about for those couple hours, talked to dad on the phone and called the friends who had called to check on her yesterday.

3. Oldest niece was feeling fine by this afternoon, so good happy thoughts by tomorrow Dakota will be back to normal.

4. So, no urgent care today. I think it's just a bug.

5. Caleb spent all day down at his buddies house. I let him stay longer than normal tonight cuz longer he's out of the house is less time he's exposed to Kota.

6. Little "adopted" sis' birthday is tomorrow. I'm terrible, I forgot it til sis mentioned it today. Which means the birthday season is in full force for our family...next month is my bil, my aunt, Caleb, and one nephew, then it's Darren, oldest niece, another nephew, and me in June, etc etc etc. It goes until October, lol.

7. Heh, got a letter in the mail today from the school district informing us that the jr high Dakota will be going to is a program improvement school and we can request she go to a different school if we want, but there are no jr highs in our district that aren't on the PI list. Helpful, huh? I'd have to send her to a different city to get a school that isn't a PI school.

8. On the plus side, I did find out yesterday which jr high she will be attending next year. It's one only a couple minutes from our house and just down the street from the high school Caleb will be attending. Could be worse, could have been across town.

9. I am so tired tonight between nieces staying so late last night and Dakota being up. Told the kids we're going to bed early, for a Saturday night, and neither of them complained. Think they're as worn out as I am.

10. Our weather today was fantastic. Close to 80 degrees, no breeze, beautiful. Had to open windows and doors and turn on the fans. We're enjoying it for as long as we can since it's supposed to get nasty next week again.

1. Last night was really rough with Kota and I was kicking myself for not taking her to the dr. Around midnight her fever shot back up to 102, she was in tears with her head, shoulder and hip hurting, and feeling terrible. Gave her more medicine, a cold wet washcloth, and turned her fan on and promised we'd go to dr first thing this morning. I wake up and what do I find? Dakota dancing around the house and singing feeling perfectly fine. Her only complaint is her hair that is one big tangle from running a fever and sleeping the past couple days.

1.5 The hip and shoulder pain concerns me some. Hopefully it is just from sleeping and laying around a lot (most of it on the side she was complaining about.) But, one of the side effects of accutane in joint pain and she's also been complaining of knee pain for the last week (though could be softball.) I'll be mentioning that to her dermatologist next week when she sees him.

1. Oh no, sure hope she feels better soon. And CG, sorry for the stress, but so glad you won.

2. I have another highly invasive virus on my work computer. It is the 3rd one in as many months. They are going to start suspecting me of surfing for porn!!!

1. She seems to be doing good. Hasn't had any problems today, though she's bored to death cuz I've made her stay inside.

2. Niece though got worse, after feeling better yesterday. Her throat was nasty and swollen so sis took her to the dr. Dr said its not strep, but they're going to treat it that way with antibiotics (oldest niece has had problems with her throat the way Kota has with her sinuses, it's constant.) Dr also told sis there is a virus going around causing high fever, headache, body aches, sore throat and vomiting. Gee that sounds familiar.

3. Ack on the computer virus! That sucks Hermie.

1. I busted Caleb this morning. He likes to get up early, not normal person early either, and watch what he's tivo'd (things like Nat Geo or History channel shows) and Darren and I have been strongly discouraging this. We don't care if he's watching the shows, they're nothing he can't see and we know he's not playing online or the xbox cuz those are password protected, it's just the fact that it's so dang early in the morning and he needs sleep!

2. Darren had told me a couple weeks ago he thought he heard Caleb's alarm going off when he was leaving for work (that'd be about 4:55am) so we started setting his clock for him and I would check it before I went to bed. No problems or Caleb was being sneakier and waking up after 1am to reset it. Since we hadn't had the same problem, I stopped checking on my way to bed.

3. I had a horrible, restless night of sleep. Which is probably why I heard his alarm going off in the first place. Rolled over and looked at my clock and it was 4:10 freaking am! I laid there for an hour or so and he didn't get up. So when I got up this morning, I went to check his clock. He had the alarm set for 4:40, but had the time set half an hour ahead. He came down the hall and saw me and knew he was busted, lol.

4. Moms punishment....I took his clock. He'll now have to wait for my clock to go off at 6:45. I have no problem with him getting up at 5:30 or 6 to watch one of his shows before he gets ready for school, but 4am is way too early! Usually parents of teenagers complain about them oversleeping...not my kid, he wants to get up four hours early!

1. I am bored!

2. Darren's off work now, but he's busy working on some homework so no IM'ing with him right now.

3. Nothing much to do around the house and the kids don't get out of school for another hour.

4. I actually found myself disappointed that the mailman didn't bring any good junk mail to read! How sad is that? I should take a trip to the bookstore or the craft store or somewhere.

5. It's very nice out today. Dakota has a game this evening and I'm looking forward to it, not just because we'll get out of the house but because the weather should be good for sitting outside for a few hours.

1. Okay, you need a trip to the bookstore. Or, hey, the library! :-)

2. I'd been flirting around with this guy from high school that I reconnected with on FB, but I decided not to pursue it from a romantic standpoint, even though we are still good friends.

3. I think he was more interested in me than I was in him. I just couldn't seem to take that step.

4. Now he is dating someone and I feel inexplicably sad about it, like I lost something that could have been very special.

5. I'm still happy for him, though, if that makes sense. We were IMing earlier and he said to me, "There's gotta be someone out there for you, you're good people."

6. I told him I was just going to be asexual and reproduce through spores. I seem to be too much of a coward to do anything else.

1. LOL, Hermie, but if I get books from the library I can't reread favorites anytime I want! On the other hand, with the closing of Borders a couple months ago, I believe we are down to just the one Christian bookstore in town now so have to drive to Palmdale to go to a bookstore.

2. Dakota's game was bad tonight. Maybe the worst they've had so far, they lost 3-13. Think part of it had to do with half of them having the same crud Kota had this weekend. My niece ended up sitting out the last two innings, feeling too lousy to keep playing.

3. Kota was supposed to have tonight off from catching, but they ended up pulling the other catcher halfway through and putting Kota in. She was doing pretty good (she's turned into quite the catcher this year, if I do say so myself) until she chased down a runner, Kota got halfway to third and fired the ball to our third basegirl and missed...she hit the poor runner square in the back. I've been hit by Kota playing catch, I know that girl must have been hurting!

4. At least it was nice outside, lol. Can't be that bad if you're enjoying fresh air, right?

5. My littlest niece is mad at me. I think she thinks I'm hiding Darren! My nieces and nephews love Darren since he's a big kid and all, but if he's standing there and I'm standing there, everyone of them will run straight to me for some love. Not littlest niece, nope, she adores Uncle Darren and if she has a choice between the two of us, it'll be him everytime. She got to the park, ran right up to me and stopped, and said, "Where Dare?" When I told her he was still gone she pouted at me and walked away.

6. Totally agree with your friend and Escapee, Hermie. You are good people!

7. My phone didn't ring all day today when I was home. We leave for the game, get back home, and there were 8 messages on the answering machine. I actually would have picked up the phone for most of them too, lol.
