I Am Sick of This Week Already

Last night was awful. I went to make a nice supper for my daughter. I peeled some potatoes and put them on to boil. I got some corn on the cobb and put it into a pot. Then I cut up some chicken and went to bread them and fry them up for home-made chicken nuggets. I had some nuggets in the pan and was getting ready to bread some more chicken when the plate I had set on the burner exploded and flour went everywhere. Then I knocked the egg wash over onto the carpeted floor of my kitchen. Danielle comes out and says"It will be an eggceptional supper" I was so irritated that I cussed her out. We yelled at each other and she went to her room and I stayed in the kitchen. Then as I was taking the pan of chicken out of the oven I burned my hand on the pan. Evidentally I need to get some new potholders because some of the ones I have are not thick enough to keep the heat out. I was about ready to throw everything outside and just call it a night. But, I finally got supper done and even made enough chicken for us to have leftovers. It was very delicious but I am not EVER making that meal again.

Today I had to work an 8 hour shift. I could not sleep last night and so I was so tired. Telemarketing for 8 hours on no sleep is miserable. I kept slurring my words and this Canadian hit on me. Not that there was anything wrong with that, but I was not in the mood for a flirtatious buffoon. Now I am watching a bit of TV and getting ready to move my vehicle under a tree in case we get hail. I have a cracked windshield and hail will probably break out my windshield entirely. I really hope tomorrow is better or I am going to crawl into bed and not get out until my unlucky spell is over.

Too Tired to Move

It is Wednesday and I wish that it was Friday. I have been getting up and going to work and working 8 hrs. Today I was so tired at the end of the shift my eyesight was getting blurry. It was a lllllloooooonnnnngggggg day! I am thankful that I was not one of the people laid off, but today I could have used a nap. Maybe the reason I was tired is because my brother brought the DVD's over for the series True Blood on HBO and Danielle and I started watching them. They are so addicting. Tonight I am going to bed at 10:00 no excuses!!! I have to have enough sleep so I can call people and bug them at work!!!

Oh What a Weekend

What a fun Friday night we had. I started out my day working at telemarketing. I have been having trouble sleeping and it was a struggle to stay awake since I had not slept for two days. So after work instead of going to bed, Danielle and I went to karaoke. There was not a whole lot of people there and we had a blast. Mike and I sang I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher. After we finished the DJ said it was a good thing we were brother and sister or her would make us get up and sing the dirty version. I had no idea when he called me up a little later that he would be making me sing the dirty version with him. It was so bad in parts I was to embarrassed to sing. But I am not the only one he embarrassed. He made Mike sing the song Sweet Transvestite for the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Danielle also had to sing an embarrassing song. We stayed out until about 1:00 a.m. By the time I got home I was so tired that as soon as my head hit the pillow I was asleep. I slept until 2 in the afternoon on Saturday.

When I got up I chopped up veggies for stir-fry and fruit for a fruit salad. I chopped so much I got a blister on my finger. Mike and Pearl came over for supper and then Danielle and I just lazed around. I was not feeling so well. I think my body went into shock from all of the healthy food I ate Saturday.

Today Danielle and I have been cleaning and we just finished taking the dog for a walk. We walked about a mile. I was dripping with sweat from the humidity, I wish it would have poured on us while we were walking. Bella (our Dog) is now taking a nap on the couch, Danielle is in her room cleaning, and I am getting ready to take a cold shower.

Work

Although I am off work for the summer until school starts back up I still work at my part-time night job. We did not work last night and today I got a call saying that Danielle will be off for two weeks because there is not enough work. I am able to go in and work but only if I work 8-4:30 Thursday and Friday this week and Monday -Friday next week. It is a lot of hours and I hate getting up early in the mornings during the summer, but it sure beats being without that extra paycheck. I have on more payment to the hospital in Nebraska and I have that bill paid up so I really need to work no matter what the hours. Then I will just have one other medical bill, a car repair bill, and my student loan to pay on. The student loan is something I will be paying until the day I die. I am debating on getting a different car. I hate having a car payment, but this one is getting up there in miles.

I feel bad for the person who is not going to be able to work during that time because I am working. I hope it is someone with vacation time.

Danielle has been sleeping most of the day. She is having a relapse with her mono. I am just going to let her sleep so she does not get any sicker. Poor girl is sick and going to be without a paycheck.

I was going to go to my aunt's garage sale on Friday. I will have to wait until Saturday unless she is having it Thursday evening.

Well I need to get some dusting done, laundry finished and my bathroom cleaned (it is a terrible mess).

Danielle's Favorite Place to Sing in the House

Danielle loves to sing and I had to include of video of her singing in the bathroom. Does she sing in the shower? No, she sings in the bathroom looking at herself in the mirror. I find this so comical and so Danielle. She is and always will be someone who marches to her own beat instead of following everyone else. She told me that the bathroom is the best place to sing because of the acoustics. Every time I see one of these videos it cracks me up.

Monday

All day long I have been thinking how I really did not want to got to work. So Danielle and I got ready and left for work. We get all the way to work when we were told there was no shift tonight. I was a bit annoyed, but if I hadn't lost my phone again, I would have gotten the message before I got there. Then we get home and the computer messed up. I thought it had crashed, but after working on the computer for over an hour I fixed the problem. Now Danielle is on my list of people who are not allowed to download anything from the internet onto the computer because she never reads the small print.

I have been enjoying my summer off. I have been sleeping in late every day. I am getting my laundry caught up (Yeaaahhhhh) and am working on spring cleaning. During the school year Sundays are Family Housecleaning Day. That is where everyone in the house has to clean until the cleaning is done. Danielle says that I turn into a cleaning dictator on those days. But some day (not in the near future) the girl is going to have a family of her own and it will be interesting to see if she has her own family housecleaning day.

I can not believe Danielle is a Senior. We are going to start taking Senior pictures this summer. We are looking for interesting places. Maybe if Netter gets to come back this summer she can show us some interesting places around Tecumseh to take some pictures. We are planning on taking the pictures ourselves. It is crazy to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on pictures. When Danielle goes to the Kansas City Art Institute she is going to need a laptop so we will be needing any extra money to go the the laptop. Plus if we take our own we can make them unique. We plan on taking some around Tecumseh, Milford, and any other interesting places we can find. It seems like just yesterday when I was bringing her home from the hospital. Who knew she would grow up into a beautiful, funny, and unique woman with the mouth of a truck driver.

Danielle Singing

Danielle and I have been going to sing karaoke in Baileyville. It is a nice little place and she has a really good voice. I love the way she sings this songs and of course she hates it. She calls me her music pimp because I try to get her to sing songs I like and of course she hates most of the songs I like, but that is the way a mother daughter relationship works. There is only one song that she has sung that I hate and that is Sex and Candy. There is nothing more shocking than talking to friends and hearing your daughter sing the words "I want sex and candy" I swear she only sung it because she knew it would cause me to have a priceless look on my face.
