I feel no older, wiser nor any worse for the wear. *shrug* Not at all what I thought.
Rotten1 has been at Grandma's since Wednesday. He may come home today.
Rotten2 and DH went shopping for my birthday. I got a pair of Happy Bunny jammies, a pair of Betty Boop jammies, a Hello Kitty journal, some smart ass buttons, a small jewelry box, and some Hello Kitty stickers. *grin* Can you guess who did the shopping?
I scrubbed the front deck last night, to prep it for painting today. Now it looks like it's going to rain. It rained yesterday morning too.
And that? is my first exciting weekend at the age of thirty.

I carry my cell phone in my back pocket when I wear jeans. I wear jeans most days. This morning, for the first time in the two or more years I've carried my phone this way, my phone fell out of my pocket. And landed.in.the.toilet.
*#($&(*#$*/(**$%!!!!!!!!!
It is now sitting in the warehouse in pieces while I pray that it dries out and comes back to life.

Friday Night Randoms
1. 5 lottery tickets and $10 later, I'm in the hole $8. Now I remember why I never buy scratch off tickets.
2. I'm exhausted, flat worn out. And I couldn't begin to tell you why.
3. Work has picked up, emotions are a bit wild, but all in all, things are good.
4. I'm loving the summer clearance sales for the kids - $3-5 for shirts, polos, capris and shorts at Old Navy, Kohl's and Walmart. Can't beat that!
5. School supplies are on sale! I've yet to pay more than $1 for the basics, with some stuff as cheap as 10cents each. Spirals, folders, notebook paper, markers, crayons, and much more! Yay!
6. I've actually gotten child support, again. I'm in shock.
7. 7 more days. Yikes.

kitty parents, please help
i'm at my wit's end with belle. she's about 15 months old. she's been with us since she was 13 weeks. never before have we had any litter box issues. for the last couple of weeks, we have a new habit that i cannot stand. her litter box lives in the laundry room, where it has been since she moved in with us. same brand of litter, same box. nothing new. at.all. still cleaned at least once a day. yet, belle insists on taking a dump on the floor, right outside the litter box at least once every 2 days. and most of the time, there are only 1-2 things in the litter box.
i've tested her, i've gone over 24 hours without touching the litter box. it was effing full of stuff. and she shit on the floor. i've cleaned it after every pee and poop. and she's shit on the floor. what is going on with her?
oh. and she knows what she's doing, too. she will scoop litter out of the litter box and try to cover up her shit on the floor. and then she will pee in the litter box not long after.
i'm about to boot her shitty ass outside.

Today, barely a cloud in sight after 10amWednesday, July 11
whew. *shakes head*
who knew cancelling internet service could take 11 minutes and 12 seconds? and that was only the time spent actually speaking to someone! i called to cancel our lovely peoplepc - dh found a better deal and i really wasn't thrilled with (okay, i hated) the software you are supposed to use. reminds me too much of the old aol. so i call to cancel. she asks why. i tell her because i want to. she offers me 30 days free. no, thank you. just cancel it. well, blah, blah, blah-bitty-blah...she can give me 60 days free. no, thank you. i appreciate it, but just cancel the account. well, they can host my old/new email addys for half price without any internet access - only $1.49/month. now, why the hell would i do that when i can get a bazillion email addys for free?! no, thanks. just cancel all services. thank you. okay, she's really really sorry to hear that i'm leaving, please hold for the 45 digit cancellation number. okay...so it was only 17 digits long. shit! who the hell gives out 17 digit cancellation numbers??? that ought to tell you something, if they started at 1. or even 1000.
*sigh* why do the simple things in life have to be so difficult? and did i mention i made this phone call with the cat in my lap and the dog on my feet freaking out because it's effing storming complete with cloud to ground lightening strikes within a mile of the house? gah.

Rain - July 10th - 1 inch in under 45 minutes
Rottens - still at the lake with the ex-in-laws
Child Support -i actually got 2 weeks worth of payments in a row. this is worth noting. i'll probably go into cardiac arrest if we go a full month.
Telephone Service - phone went out yesterday. by the time the verizon man came, it miraculously started working again. went out again tonight during the rain/thunder/lightening storm. miraculously started working when i unplugged the brand new phone line from the back of my computer. hm. is my modem dying a slow painful death? or is it the rain, as previously thought? dh ran all new phone lines in the house this morning.
bb8 - hm. i kinda like it. i kinda don't. it's still early. however, i'm favoring dani and dick. joe is the love to hate. jen is a whiny baby wannabe porn star. the rest? meh. i don't know who they are really. and dammit. i don't get showtime and don't have tivo. and i'm sure not going to buy either for this bunch. and what's up with hamsterwatch and rtvw feed updates? this svcks.
Rain - again. now. and tomorrow. and 30-50% chances from now til sunday. WTF? when did texas move to seattle and the rest of the country move to texas?
okay. so that's all i got at the moment. *waves*

And it's still freaking raining. But there may be an end in sight - Monday and Tuesday show only partly cloudy - no rain! Yay!
I need to learn Spanish again. I now have three fluent Spanish/English speaking employees. And I only know bits and pieces of what they are saying.
Frito Lay Munchies are the perfect breakfast/snack food. Today's bag is cheese flavored with Doritos (no peas), cheetos, sun chips and pretzels. Yum!
The Rottens leave tonight for 8 days and nights at their grandparents'! Yay! A whole week of quiet. I only wish I'd planned a couple vacation days in there.

Yay!
Apparently, I'm not the anti-parent that I thought I was. Thank you.
So, does anyone have any extra plywood or 2x4s that are not being used? I think we are going to need to build an ark.
In other news, DH thinks I've lost my mind. The Rottens each had a friend come over Saturday and spend the night. They were all there til afternoon yesterday. They had fun with their sleepover "party" playing Uno, swimming, watching movies and eating cake. To me, this is the stuff of summer. DH thinks I'm nuts for dealing with that many kids for that long. *snort* I just think he doesn't remember what being a kid is like.
