Quiet Day

Not too much new going on. Animals are driving me a little crazy today. They just seem to be out to annoy me. Went down to Danny and Dina's tonight for a while. Danny got a bit of an attitude problem so I left with Micky and Joe. We drove around for a while but found nothing to do. Went to the gas station to get gas and talked to some friends of Joe and Micky's. Found out that those guys that were causing trouble the other night and out making up lies about what happened the other night sayins WE were trying to jump THEM. And that there was six of us, when in reality, there was only 2. DH has a much more level head when it comes to these things so I'm glad he's the only one that came in contact with any of them. I have a tendency to run my mouth when people have threatened me or my friends. I've very protective of the people I care about. Hopefully it'll all die down soon because Danny's moving this weekend. He lives right down the road from me right now but soon it'll be a 25 minute drive everytime I just want to hang out. Not like it's a long drive but it's not the same as just around the corner. I'll spend as much time with him as I can before he absolutely has to leave. Well, gotta get up early tomorrow, it's Friday and as most of you know by now, that's store day.

Just another Day

DH went and got himself (well I guess got us) a new car. It's a '99 Grand AM. It's silver. Pretty  nice too. I drove it tonight and everything felt good except the steering wheel felt a little tilted. Maybe I'm just used to my mom's Tarus. You can drive down the road with that thing and stay straight without ever touching the steering wheel. I'll be driving that baby to work soon. hehe

The boys all behaved today. Didn't have any problems. It was a quiet day, thankfully. I stayed at Danny's anyways for the day. I'll like to know what's going on and be there if something does happen.

Got a phone call this morning. Me and my mom's friends are on their way to our house. The humane society was called on them for their dogs barking at night. The people that called claimed they had 16-18 dogs (they have six, four of which are tiny dogs) and that they were being mistreated. These people take better care of their dogs than most people take care of their kids. There's no way they would ever mistreat any animal. Come on, would I be friends with someone that would? They were worried though because their pit bull is stolen. That's the dog we were going to steal because it was being beaten and we were worried it was going to be used as a bait dog. So, they brought Maggie to the house for the night just in case. She's a little doofus of a dog. She's pretty small but you wouldn't know it if you heard her walk across the room. She'd also sooner lick you to death than ever bite anyone. She's a nice dog. I hope they don't get called on by the humane society again. I can't do really anything to help them with that. It'd be different if our rescue handled that sort of thing but we don't and aren't in any way involved with the humane society. Well, I'm off to bed. I have a killer migraine. Dina gave me some pills to help with the pain but all the did was make me shaky and nauseous. 

 

Oh yeah, one of my parakeets gave birth to an egg today... I just wish I knew whether there was a little birdie in there or just an empty egg. I came home to check on them and much to my surprise, there was a new object in their cage that wasn't there before. I was a little shocked because Idon't have a nesting box or anything close to that in their cage.

Grow up People

Tonight was a messed up, not good night. Everything started off fine and then of course, the damned phone had to ring. It's a long story but I'll try to make it into a short one. Two of my friends, Danny and Dina, were on their way home from her house and there were two cars that were chasing them, trying to box them in. We've had troubles with these people before and a few times it was Danny's fault but this time it most definitely was not. A few months ago, they were chasing Danny, Dina and our friend Micky in Danny's car. They jumped Micky when he got out and were kicking him in the head and really looked like they might kill him. So, Danny grabbed a shovel (I know, not the brightest weapon in the world but he was freaked out) and hit one of the guys in the head with it while he was kicking Micky in the head. They took off, threatening to kill both of them in the process. Everything kind of blew over, or we thought at least because there was no more trouble after the cops got involved. Then tonight happened. Dina called me on my cell and was completely freaking out. She was scared to death and I don't blame her. She really was worried for her life. Once they got to Danny's house, the other guys backed off and went down the road. Danny called the cops and filed harrassment charges. I was steaming pissed that this was all starting up again so I called the guy down the road, who used to be my best friend's dad... that friend and I have since parted ways. I just wanted to get the full story. So I asked Jim, as calmly as I could at the time, what the other guys were claiming had happened. He started to tell me that supposedly, Danny had his head out of his car window and was trying to start trouble with they guy that was trying to push him off the road, then he said hush hush, this isn't any of you damned business, go to hell, and hung up on me. Ok, that really got me pissed and I was all about going down there and doing probably a lot of yelling. Instead, DH took the truck down there, thinking maybe being face to face would be calmer... and then again, maybe not. Jim came out of his house and told DH to keep that bitch (me) that he runs around with out of their business, off their property and not to call them anymore. Much to my dissappointment, DH didn't beat the hell out of the guy but whatever. He went to look for the guys that were messing with Danny. He finds them eventually, tries to talk sense and all the guy does is lie through his teeth about Danny. I know for a fact that Danny hasn't been starting shit again because I've been with him almost everyday for a month. Danny's mom, who tries to create drama when there isn't any, told Danny that DH was needing his back up with the guy, which totally wasn't true. Danny, thinking DH was in trouble pulled a bat on the guy and the guy took off. Now shit is really going to be messed up because he's going to think they got him alone just to jump him. Now, the bat was never used, it was just Danny's back up. DH tried to follow the kid again but once he got into the ghetto, he backed off of him. Now, this is the second time in a week that I've been called a bitch and I've got to tell ya, I'm not liking it one single bit. I'm a little bitty thing but I'll be scrappy if need be and I'm always willing to stand up for myself, even if others aren't. Someone calls me a bitch to my face and they'll regret it. Me, Danny and Micky might go up to Chicago tomorrow just to walk on the pier and relax. It's better for us to be away from here as much as possible right now. More times than not, I won't keep my mouth shut and I'll get myself into trouble if I see those people. I don't like it when people try and hurt my friends, especially when they're my best friends and one of them is like a brother to me. These people are all between the ages of 19 and 42. I think it's about time they started acting like adults. It's a bunch of BS too. We don't get into any trouble. We sit at Danny's house, watch movies, play video games and go out to eat. And yet, we're being messed with. I really hope we go up to Chi town tomorrow. Maybe everyone will just forget about the whole thing.... yeah, wishful thinking. Well, I'm going to go to bed now. I'm sore and tired. When I get really pissed and my blood gets going, I get really tired and really sore when I calm down. It takes everything out of me.

Notta New

Not much new that I know about right now. Haven't written in a whlie. I've been going through some stuff of my own lately. I don't know what is going on with me really. I feel like in the past few months I've become a completely different person. I don't know whether it's a good thing or not... yet. Sometimes I wish I could see the future. That way I would know if the decisions I'm making are for the best or not. Here lately, I've just been hanging out with my friend Dina, which is a lot of the reason I haven't wrote lately. I don't get home until the wee hours of the morning and by then I just want to go to bed. Usually so I don't have to think about things anymore. I feel like I'm at this fork in my life and I have to decide which way I want to turn. I just wish I had the answers before I made my decisions. I guess everyone feels that way at some point in their life. Sometimes I feel like I'm loosing my mind lately. I don't know what happened in the last few months to change me so much. I'm just not the same person anymore. I've just stopped caring what people think of me. In a lot of ways that's a good thing but in a lot it's not. I think you should kind of care a little bit, just to be considerate of other people's beliefs and feelings but lately I just have thrown all of that common sense out of my brain. I've been drinking a LOT more than I usually do. In the past four years, I've drank only as many times as I can count on both of my hands, that is until recently.

The puppy, April, is doing great. I've talked to my bosses about adopting her and they want half my arm and all of my leg for her. I'm gonna have to figure something out because she's never leaving this house. I just can't part with her. In June I'm going to start applying at vet's offices. I'll have my license by then so it'll be easier to go out looking. I won't have to wait until everyone gets off work to take me and then have to figure out a way to and from work. I can just drive myself, once my car is up and moving. I know I'm going to be in for a long drive to and from work. It'll be at least a half hour. The only vet's that are close to me, are vet's I don't want to have anything to do with. I'd rather not work at all than to work for someone who's only in it for the money. When it comes to animal's, I want a boss that cares as much about them as I do. Alright, I'm off to bed. I'm really tired right now and I've got bunny's to feed before I get to sleep. Hope everyone is doing good in joural land.

Same ole, same ole

Just a quick entry before I go to bed tonight. April's last remaining sibling, Killian, died on Tuesday. On Saturday April will be officially parvo free. Someone reported the shelter to the county. We're not exactly sure what for. The guy told us we had to do some landscaping work and rake up the leaves. As if we don't have better things to do. So one of our very sweet volunteers, went and got a bunch of landscaping supplies and made us look a little nicer. Hopefully it'll be enough to get these idiots off our backs. People really need to get a life. I really don't see what reason anyone had to call on us for but that's my opinion. Tomorrow April will be getting a really good bath. Just want to be sure there's no parvo anywhere on her body from her brother and sisters. I didn't do it sooner because I didn't want her to be wet and then end up getting sick. I figured it was just best to put it off until I was fairly certain that she was healthy. I still don't want to give her back. I don't think that is going to change. I love her. Even if she is one of the stupidest puppies I've ever seen. LOL

More Bad News

Casey died at 2am last night (Sunday Night/Monday Morning). We've now lost three puppies in a weeks time. I've decided that the name Jane just doesn't fit the pup that I have and am calling her instead April. Kind of like a dedication to her siblings that have died this month. I haven't been sleeping real well during all of this. I wake up several times during the night. I keep worrying I'll wake up and find that April is sick. I just couldn't deal with it if she got sick and died as well. I've gotten so attached to her in such a short amount of time. She's not even my "type" of dog. I go for the herding groups and the smart dogs. This pup obviously has the brains of a rock and is definitely not from the herding group. She's so not what I was looking for in my next dog. I don't even like puppies!!! It'll be so hard if I have to give her back. I don't know what I'm going to do yet. If I beg to keep her, it'll cause a million problems with me and DH but if I don't, I still feel like it'll cause problems. I love her. I can't help that. She's so cute. When she first got here on Saturday, the tips of her ears would fold down but now her ears will only stand straight up. She looks like a bat! She's so funny looking that she's adorable. She has bat ears and a curly-q tail. Well, I'd better be going. My muscle relaxant is kicking in and soon I'll be misprinting things. Plus, if I don't get to bed now, I'll have to take another one to help me fall asleep later.

Puppy Sitting

Casey is doing a little better today. The other pup is still about the same. This morning, Casey ate a small amount of rice and drank some water on her own. That's a really good sign though. No one else has gotten sick as of yet. I'm still puppy sitting. She'll be here until I don't know when. I don't mind having her. We went through almost a whole roll of paper towel today. That dog pees more in a day than I do in a week. And then she has to poop a good five times. She was playing nonstop from 6am to 6pm. I thought she would never go to sleep. I've never seen a puppy that active. DH's dog that is almost a year, slept a lot when she was a puppy. She played too but never like this one. Everyone thinks she's a fun little addition. I definitely miss my little Keifer though. Poor baby. I just hope the rest of them make it and no one else gets sick.

It's been pretty windy here today. Makes doing anything a little more difficult. Walking to the barn is a chore. You basically have to do it blind. Either you have hair in your eyes or dirt. The dogs didn't seem to mind it though. It got a little fresh air in the house that's for sure. I forgot to mention, we got three ball python's in yesterday as well. They're about three feet and in great shape. They're gorgeous snakes. They've obviously been handled quite regularly too. There's not many at the rescue that find them as attractive as I do. There's more cute and cuddly animal lovers out there than the ones that like the cold blooded reptiles.

Another Long Day

I am so drained. I just want this week to end already. Keifer died today. Casey is still hanging in there. Keifer's sister has also come down with parvo and is currently at the shelter. His other sister is here for the time. I'm calling her Jane. There's a song called "Jane Says" by Jane's Addiction that reminds me of her for some reason. This puppy is a little nut. She runs around constantly. I had brought her sister home too but soon realized that she too was sick. Before I left the shelter, I checked on the pregnant cat that we have. She started having contractions almost as soon as I touched her. A long day was becoming even longer. We took her into another room where it was quieter. After about a half hour of contractions, she had her first kitten. Only problem, mama cat has an upper respiratory infection and decided the only part of being a mom she was going to do was give birth. She left the sack on the kitten and everything. I took the sack off and Jenn began rubbing her to get her breathing again. Very quickly, another kitten was born. Again, mama did nothing at all. We took the sack off and rubbed till breathing. I stayed for a while longer. Eventually though, I had to go home and eat. When I came back to bring back the pup, I checked on mama, only to find she had had another kitten and had once again done nothing. We knew the kitten had just been born because minutes ago, they had checked to make sure there weren't anymore. We rubbed and rubbed but sadly, the kitten never got to take it's first breath. I just want to take a bath, relax and go to sleep. That won't happen though. I have a puppy to watch and I know I just won't be able to sleep. Tonight will be one opf those nights that I cry and eventually wake up and realize that at some point and time I fell asleep. I'll take a muscle relaxer and maybe that will help. Poor Jenn, she's stuck. She can't go to sleep because she has two puppies that need IV fluids and a cat that doesn't know what being a mother is all about. We still don't know if that was the last kitten to be born or not. It's sometimes hard to tell with cats. I'm going to watch a movie and laugh at a puppy.

Keifer and Casey

It's been a very long day, both emotionally and physically. We lost a puppy the other day to parvo. We hoped that would be the only one that got sick. Today I went up to the shelter with my mom to visit the horses. I wanted to show her this beautiful paint we have. I got there and found out one of our rotti mixes was acting sick. After visiting the horses, we went to visit all the puppies. Keifer was acting a little sluggish and I got worried and brought him inside. Keifer is my favorite dog there and is the only adoptable dog that I've ever become attached to. Eventually, we get the puppies to a vet that was willing to take them. He told us it was definitely parvo and he wanted to put all our puppies down, even though only two were showing signs of the disease. I said, no and left. I get back to the shelter and now we have two puppies who are literally dying in front of us and no drugs to treat them for it. I spent a lot of today and crying and trying not to cry. We made many calls to many vets and it seemed no one was willing to help us. Eventually, we called the emergency vet clinic and they told us to bring one puppy up and they'd give us enough drugs to treat both of them. The vet that was on duty was absolutely wonderful. She was so sweet and compassionate. She completely cut us a deal on the bill and drugs. I took the puppy back to the shelter and they've started IV fluids and antibotics. There's still no way of saying whether or not they'll even make it. Right now, Keifer has all bloody stool, is still vomiting and just isn't doing all that great all around. Casey, on the other hand, is appearing to do quite well and is currently sleeping. If Keifer lives, I'm determined to adopt him. I feel extremely bonded to this little pup. I've actually been advised by my mom to take a muscle relaxant to fall asleep tonight. She is usually against me taking anything for sleep but I guess she sees what a long day it was for both of us. I'll keep you updated. I really hope to have good news.

SSDD

Today was fun... NOT. I woke up, thinking, I should NOT go to work today... what did I do though? I went to work. I thought, you just don't want to go because you're being lazy, you should go and see the new puppies we just go in, you'll have fun. Yeah, fun couldn't be farther from the word used to describe work today. It started out fine. We were building a puppy pen and making it escape proof. Easy enough. After that though, we went to bring the puppies outside to play. I first brought out Peanut first, a 8 year old purebred boxer. (ok so the puppy pen isn't JUST for the puppies, we're putting the dogs in that pen that don't get along with anyone else as well) Luke, took Peanut out once I got her to the door so I went to grab another dog. I took Skipper out, a beagle mix of almost a year. Easy enough. I then go to grab Lucy, a Schipperke of unknown age. She's usually a little high strung so the following events should have been avoided, had I been paying attention to her. She jumped from her crate, and I caught her in mid-air. She then started acting crazy, trying to bite me however possible. I managed to get her to the door before I got the first bite, on my right shoulder. It's not bad, just a bruise and some puntures. I got her out the door and just as I was about to hand her to the shelter owner, she bit my hand twice. Not too bad as far as blood and stuff goes but I'm bruised up quite nicely. Did I stand around bitching and moaning? Maybe for a second. But I went right back to bringing out the puppies. After everyone was outside, I played with the puppies and made nice with Lucy. After a while, I noticed one of the puppies hadn't moved from the place I had put her. She very likely has parvo. I brought her in the house and we gave her two doses of ParvoGuard. She'll probably need to be taken to the vet in the morning, as she wasn't bouncing back as she should have. An hour or so goes by and suddenly, there's a puppy loose. So I spent the day carrying Keefer, a keeshound mix, around with me. BUT the goats got loose in the neighbors yard, so I put little Keefer back in his pen and rushed to the aid of the other volunteers. Only, to have Keefer, once again loose with the big mean dogs. Grab Keefer, get the goats back in the pen and make sure they can't get back out. A little while longer goes by... and one of the dogs is loose. That was an easy one though. She came right to us. Oh yeah, and earlier in the day, shortly after Lucy bit me, Macy, a border collie mix, jumped the fence into the pasture and was terrorizing the barn yard animals. It was one hell of a day. I'm tired, sore and just want to sleep for a year... but I can't, I have to get up to go to the BMV in the morning and then it's back to the shelter... maybe, if I'm not completely miserable by then. We also have a prego cat at the shelter that is about to give birth any day now. That should be interesting, considering I'm the only person to deliver kittens ever. Yes, life is about to get "interesting" again. I still have to do my own animal stuff yet tonight and I really just want to go to sleep! And by the way, in no way shape or form to I blame the dog for biting me. Well, at the time I did but now I don't. I always believe that if you ever get bit by any animal, it's the humans fault, not the animal. I knew Lucy's temperment and should've known better than to just pull her out of the cage like she was any other dog. The pic I'm going to try and put on here is a picture of what a Schipperke looks like. Hope everyone else is having a better day at work than I had.

I forgot something... I can't believe I forgot this! When I got home, my brother was on the internet and he called me to the computer room. Someone was on my screen name but there was no way it was me. Come to find out, someone stole my password and was using my screen name right then! I had to go through all kinds of BS to fix and the worst part is, I had to change my password, the same password I've had for at least 6 years. You can bet that I bitched out my hackers from my brother's name and procceeded to prevent them from sending or recieving IM's from my name. I was sooooooo mad. After the day I had, I had to come home and deal with that shit. Do you ever feel like the world is against you some days?

It's what again?

I am currently listening to the smallest little radio I think I've ever seen. I must really be getting behind the times or something. Me and my mom went to buy my brother some clothes for school today and two of the shirts he got, came with these tiny contraptions. I wasn't completely sure as to what they were, until we arrived home that is and I was told in the most adult-talking-to-two-year-old voice, that these were indeed small AM/FM radios. I kid you not, they're the size of a pager. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I really don't get out that much. LOL I'm just glad I can listen to the radio while DH sleeps... at least until the batteries on this thing die. Whilest out shopping for my brother. I picked up a few things for myself. Several very cute pairs of underwear. Most people that know me really well, know I'm accessory freak. At any one point and time, I can easily obtain well over 20 pairs of underwear. I know, nobody is going to see them, so what's the point? I really don't have an answer. I also got a very cute little purse. It's got a cat (go figure) on it and is beaded. Bought at Target for less than 15 bucks. I also got a pair of really cute flip flops, also Target, under 8 bucks. You can bet I was excited. LOL After all that, me and DH went out and rented several movies; The House of Sand And Fog, My Boss' Daughter, Mona Lisa Smile, Matchstick Men. We watched the House of Sand And Fog tonight. It was a good movie, just a little on the weird side. Watched Gothika last night. That is a crazy, messed up movie. Don't watch it alone!  LOL

Easter Fun!!

Woohoo! I'm on a list serv for Senegal Parrots and every holiday we do a gift exchange. I recieved my "easter basket" today. Turns out, my "secret sennie" is one of the people I talk to regularly off list! Her husband made Ellie a perch that she can use outside of her cage. Now she can sit in front of the computer on her own perch! She also got quite a few new toys and some treats too! I just had to share with everyone! I was so excited to recieve it today! I didn't even send out mine until today! I used a "secret" email to let the girl know that her eater basket was on the way. I sent her a few toys and some treats as well. I can't wait till the next holiday that we do this! It was soooo much fun!

Hope everyone's Easter went well. Mine was the same as every year. Went to grandparents house for lunch (even though they still call it supper at noon). Chatted with the relatives for a while. My grandpa is looking a little better than the last time I saw him. He's become pretty depressed since they removed a portion of his lung and he's still in a lot of pain. I cut our visit a little shorter than usual this year though. I've been "partying" a little more than usual lately and it's drained my blood of iron. Plus, I didn't take it two days this week. Always makes me feel crappy. By partying, I basically mean, four or five of us, casually drinking and making fun of "scary" movies. The woman are always so dumb in those movies. Oh no, they're going to kill me, I should run to the most obvious place possible or the place that only has one entrance. Why don't the men in those movies ever do the stupid stuff? At any rate, I came home, took a motion sickness pill and took a nap. I felt a little better when I woke up but it was short lived. I haven't had my PaxilCR since Wednesday and it's starting to show big time. I've been quite the moody little girl the past few days. Oh well, I'll have some tomorrow and in a few days, I'll be feeling much better and be a much nicer person to boot.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to everyone!!!! Hope it's a happy one for you all! Sorry it's been so long since I've written. I had to many problems with AOL journals, as did everyone, that I got frustrated and took a break from the journal thing for a few days. Nothing much really new in those days. Been hanging out with some friends a lot more than I used to. Has anyone else had problems adding animated graphics from Hometown? I had to copy and paste this graphic into the entry to add anything at all.

Something BAD happened today. I let all the cats out for a run around the house. I have three females that aren't fix, two of which are foster cats and one is the little stray. I also have to male kittens that aren't fixed yet. I didn't think either of the males were at "that" age yet. Well, I was wrong. I heard some noise coming from upstairs and find that my mom's little male, Tuffy, is no longer a virgin and the oldest foster cat, Mink now may be pregnant. Can we say Whoops! Let's just hope that I interrupted everything in time. We'll seeeeeee.

::Special Note:: Thank you Lila for the Easter card! A very Happy Easter to you too!!!!

My journal isn't working right at the moment so I'll have to put today's entry, on there tomorrow, if it's working by then. Sorry!

Always at Work

Last night was a long one. A friend of mine got into a fight and then came over to the house bloody and bruised. I'm the peace keeper around here. I try to calm the boys down with they get out of hand and lecture them the gentlest way possible when they need it. I just hope that boy stays out of trouble for a while. Mickey has always been the kid that was getting into fights and trouble. He's always been the one I have to worry about the most.

The dogs got into a fight again today while me and DH were helping our friends move. I got the phone message after I'd been "working," I'll explain that in a second. My mom was letting everyone outside when August went crazy and attacked poor Mia again. She's got quite a few bite marks and one bit punture wound. For now, it's keep it clean and make sure there's no sign of infection. We're house sitting tonight and will be taking Mia with us. Now onto the other story. While we were helping out friends move, they told us the previous owner had asked if they could leave their dog with them. They said yes, he's a sweet rotti with a great personality. Besides that, my friends were worried the people would just have him put down if they said no. He's obviously had a broken leg that was never properly cared for. He limps on his rear leg. The other thing is, I was told there was a cat somewhere on the land. (20 acres) While we were in the garage, I heard a meowing and eventually got a female black calico to come to me. The first thing I noticed was she had two collars on, one regular collar and one flea. They were both on there so tight, I'm surprised she could ever breath. The regular collar had cut into her throat a bit. We ended up cutting them both off of her. The people still insist they don't have a cat, even though there was kitty litter in the garage, along with cat toys and cat bowls. But they don't have a cat right? I hate people sometimes.

ARGH

My best friend in the whole world, or so I thought, is in the air force. He's currently in West Virginia. The last time I saw him was almost a year ago, June of last year. I've been trying to get a hold of him all that time. I've tried calling, emailing, everything but every means of getting a hold of him, has failed. His phone number had been changed, his email was no longer in service, blah blah blah. Now, this happens quite often with all of my military friends. They're constantly changing phone numbers and email but they usually call or email with new numbers and addresses, etc. Now, all this time, I'm wondering if my so called friend is alive and well or if he's been sent off to Iraq like the rest of my military friends. I get an email today from this friend. All the email says is "Stephy and baby" and there's an attachment. I download for what seems like forever and once the attached pictures are opened, it's been like ten minutes. Once I open these pictures, I am furious. Since the last time I spoke with said friend, they have become pregnant and have a kid. The pictures were of him and the baby. Now, tell me, in ten months, don't you think you'd call or write your best friend and tell them you're going to be a daddy? Much to DH's dismay, I emailed friend back and bitched him out about what a shitty friend he's been and how thoughtless he is. I mean, he didn't even say if it was a boy or girl, no name nothing at all. Just the attachment. DH frequently disagrees with my deciscions but this is my friend, my problem and I'll bitch him out of it if I want to. I told him congrats and goodbye pretty much. I seem to choose the worst friends. All my past friends have backstabbed me, lied to me, etc. The only "friend" I have now is a girl who has backstabbed, lied and done more. I told my mom today, at least I know not to expect any surprises from her. I KNOW she'll backstab and lie. The worst she could do now is be a good friend. LOL Oh well, Maybe in a few hours I'll be a little less bitter about it all. For now though, it IS my party and I will cry, whine and bitch if I want to.

Just sittin'

Just got home not too long ago. Went to a friends house for a little while. DH got a new cell phone today to replace the crappy one he did have and now he's busy messing with it and making as much noise as is possible. We went to Hacienda tonight. I was so hungry. Usually, we get our chips and by the time supper comes, I'm full. Not tonight! I ate all of my wet burrito and a ton of chips.

I rearranged our bedroom today. The cats were a little curious. The entire time I'm trying to move funiture around, there's a cat investigating the new open space where I'm trying to put furniture! I swear, they know when they're being a pain! Ellie just hid in her corner because the vaccum scares her. It has never bothered my other birds. They just squawk at it. Ellie on the other hand has a birdie pannick attack. That bird now has my alarm down to a T. I wake up constantly, thinking it's time to get up, when really the sun hasn't even started to come up yet, it's just Ellie being bored. Really, nothing else happened today. We're going into clean house mode right now because DH's friend is coming home for a week from the army. Of course, that means we have to at least appear to always be presentable. LOL
