So... I'm up earlier than I thought I would be. Flyboy had to fly today which means last night we were on crew rest. "We" because he has a hard time sleeping without me in the same room and so when he goes on crew rest, I have to too. Makes sleeping more of a challenge really... kind of hard to sleep when you aren't tired.

I don't know how long I will be on the computer this morning; I have a lot of busy work to do. I am waiting on the call from my previous employer saying she received the fax and then I get to finish the flash cards that Flyboy was studying. (He passed the test even though I didn't finish coloring them all. He got a 95% on it too! The ones he missed were questions not on the flash cards...) His buddy, we'll call him Radar (no I am not giving him that name because he is like Radar from M*A*S*H. Radar just fits, trust me.) has to study the same books and is having trouble retaining it. I don't blame him. It's written in a very boring way, hopefully not like my blog. (lol) But anyway, he is borrowing the flash cards and I need to finish them. I also need to do some laundry and the dishes Flyboy promised he would load into the dishwasher last night and didn't.

It's actually a very nice morning. It's about 50 degrees out but it is a crispy cold morning. I can't wait for winter to come! I hope it snows a bunch! Anywho... I need to get started on my chores that way I am not tempted to crawl back in bed and sleep a little more. I didn't sleep to well last night. It has been getting too warm, it’s weird. So this is Cadaver1 signing off for now, Bye!

*UPDATE*

wow ^ that looks pretty intense (the *update* lol) I think I am making some pretty good time this morning, well afternoon now. The dishes are done and currently drying, laundry is in the dryer and has about 15 minutes left and all the flash cards are organized by section and filed in numerical order (to the best of my ability). I called up the collections agency to see if they faxed that itemization paper because I hadn't heard from my employer yet. Sure enough, they did and so then I called my employer up. (I assume I don't have to use "previous" any more...) She is SO awesome, the hospital and the collections are giving her the run around and she isn't taking it. (she used to be a manager at a collections agency for many, many years) So she has been busy fighting them because it is seeming like there is nothing owed and paperwork wasn't properly managed between the Hospital and their internal collections agency (not the same agency that I have been calling) On one hand this is great news, but on the other it stinks like none other because my credit is taking a BIG blow from of their mistake, and it isn't going to be wiped off my credit for a while, it'll just say "this account was closed or paid". Grr. Well, it's not like we are planning on buying a house anytime soon. Right now we are doing different types of investing and saving so we can possibly buy one out right or at least put a nice down payment on one. Anyway.. I must get back to coloring so I can eat lunch. (I really need to get these cards done so I am not allowing myself to take a lunch break until they are done. Plus I have no idea what I want to eat for lunch yet anyway. All I know is that I am REALLY hungry!)

*UPDATE #2*

Let's see... I called up the collection agency who dealt with a Cingular account I had and discussed the same account AGAIN, and they are now sending the information, stating that I paid it a year and a half ago, to Equifax, because apparently they didn't get it the first time. Grr. I tell you what... Anyway, no, I am not done with the cards and I think I am about to fire myself, because I am going to take a break anyway and eat. I think I need  a time out from coloring. Since I started these flash cards (500 cards ago) I am just a tinsy, itsy bit sick of coloring. You know? There is only a limited amount of color combinations from an 8 piece marker set. I have crayons and colored pencils too but, they aren't as BOLD. *yawn* I am going to eat now before I whither away into nothingness ("Ha! That’d take awhile" wow! Even from the air, Flyboy has to throw a Zing my way...)

Mood:  incredulous

Well... This morning has definitely been interesting so far. Apparently it dropped to about freezing last night so when I went to start the car this morning it wouldn't turn over. (the ignition grease gets too cold and then when I put the key in to start it, my key isn't recognized, so the computer thinks I am trying to steal my car and then shuts off the fuel pump. VERY inconvenient, let me tell you)So Flyboy and I both figure it is the ignition. I mean it was 40 degrees this morning. Well, it takes 15 minutes for the computer to reset after a failed start. (That is the inconvenient part) The problem was, I couldn't remember if it was 15 minutes or 11. All I knew is it was an inconvenient amount of time. Flyboy swore on his life that it was only 8 minutes to restart. (And the morning, stubborn, disagreement begins.) So to prove him wrong because he won’t drop it, I attempt to start it after 8 minutes... It completely turned over and then died, (fuel pump is still shut off), which completely reset the timer back to 0 minutes.  "See! It started you just didn't hold it long enough." I won't go on but he wound up late to work after he gave up the argument and allowed me to attempt to start the car after 15 minutes. Grr… men.

Now I am waiting on a phone call from my previous employer to talk about medical bill matters. When I had split my knee open at work I of course had to get it stapled up. Well I was sent one bill, the company paid it and I checked my credit report after being denied for the thousandth time and it was saying I still owed and it went to collections. !?!?! You know? So I have been going back and forth between the debt collectors and my employer. Apparently there was a doctor bill and then a hospital bill, like for the staples and such. The difference between the bills was only $7 or so. Like I said I received one bill, only twice. And the same info was on both except one was $628 instead of $620.25. I mean even the account numbers were the same… Now the debt collector is saying it is a different account number on the bill for $620.25. So needless to say I have been the middle man for an annoying amount of time. My employer doesn't mind paying if it is owed and heck, I don't blame them, $620 isn't gumball money. Right now I am waiting for the collectors to fax an itemized list over to my employer, (the one that is being sent to me via snail mail) I am hoping I will get a phone call soon. RAWR. Well... at least my allergy headache is gone.

I should hop in the shower here pretty soon. Flyboy is getting off work around 1230-1300 today, though really it all depends on how long his meeting is. Tomorrow I don't think I will write any until late in the evening. (I will explain tomorrow) but yeah. What a morning. I can't wait for the rest of the rest of the day to unfold... *drips in sarcasm). Well, I am going to log off for now.

Take care!

Mood:  hungry

Well, I have returned. I declare that it is nap time soon! Today I babysat Mr. 3yr old. Fun times. His mom and little sister are coming back later this afternoon, so we only had a small adventure today.

After he woke up I tricked him into cleaning up all of his toys and the mess in the living room. hehe. He thought it was a really FUN game. We read some books that were on the floor and then he got to be strong and put them away on the shelf for me. Then we put together all of his puzzles after he found the pieces. All of his trains had a party in the depot and then he learned how to fold up a blanket. He also got to be a flying super hero who flew from the table with dirty cups and soared to the sink and put them in the soapy water. (his dad said he could have one of the cookies grandma sent if he was good) So after he ate breakfast and he put away his last dirty sock, he got a "high-five" and a blue sprinkled cookie. (he LOVES "high-fives" and cookies too!) I was suprised, it only took 45 minutes to accomplish all of that.

Next he got dressed and then he put his shoes on all by himself. (its slightly rare to see him do that) We decided we would go to the park, and take the kick ball too! (it's a little farther than Moma Mouse's house to Sir A.J, Knight of the Round Table's school. No busy streets though, it's in the middle of the neighborhood =) ) So we locked up the house and I made him walk all the way there and back too. He was exhausted when we came back though, took us 30 minutes to walk back!

 We got to the park and immediately went to the slides. hehe. Then he thought it would be fun to roll the ball down the slide and for me to catch it at the bottom. After a while we went on the grass and played kick ball. He ran the whole time! He had a blast too! Then I convinced him to be brave and try the swings. (we never went back to the slides after that! "Can you make me go higher? Please?") hehe. I had to make him stop and drink his water, he didn't want to stop playing! I don't blame him, it was nice out. Now of course this park has trees, lots of them. And with trees come... billions and billions of squirrels. "Can I chase the squirrels?" sure, why not. So he ran after them and I walked after him. We wound up underneath this small tree that was full of acorns both in it and on the ground. He, of course, was curious about these weird shaped rock things. Nature Lesson Time! Now we are chasing after the squirrels trying to feed them acorns and return the ones they dropped (buried really). Those squirrels were mean to him though. He was sooo excited to be chasing the squirrels and even more so when he got really close. Well these little buggers would run 2 feet in front of him and just taunt him; then, as soon as he'd get a 1 foot distance they'd move just a little bit.  "Here Mr. Squirrel you can eat this acorn..... Wait! you HAVE to eat this acorn! You dropped this acorn Mr. Squirrel."  I had a hard time not laughing. It was cute. He was so determined to give the squirrel back his acorns and feed him the ones that he found. I think we ran around doing this for a good 50 minutes.

Finally, it was about time we headed back to his house. (his dad would be home really soon, and we still had a ways to walk) Our new mission was to make it back home fast, so we could have some crackers and cheese. We were both starving (burned a lot of energy).  Not 15 minutes later after we go back, his dad came home. YAY! I get to go home and see Flyboy! (he was forced to take today off. Too many comp daps apparently. Hey, I'm not complaining.)

So, I am now home and just finished up my tacos that Flyboy made for me. (he cleaned up the house too!)  I think I will jump in the shower and lay down for a short nap. All the pollens and grass gave me a headache. It isn't too bad, just annoying.

This weekend was fun-ish. We went to the mall and found a dress for the Ball this Friday. It is semi-formal, so I think this dress will be great. I took Flyboy with me, since I have no idea what I am looking for and he seemed have way more fun shopping for this outfit than I did. Grr. He wasn't suppose to enjoy it. But yeah pretty busy.

Oh! Since I didn't post yesterday....

Mom!

I better go for now! I'm having a hard time focusing at the moment. Flyboy says "What do I need to say? I fly!" lol. I think he needs some coffee or something. I may take him outside for a walk later tonight... Poor thing has been cooped up in here since I left at 0600. I had the car so he couldn't drive anywhere. (I can't remember if I told everyone but he officially has his license now. That in itself is a LONG story that my brain can't process until it powers off and reboots.)

So... this is

Mood:  not sure

Well, I figured I would take a break from my busy day and ignore it for a while. I didn't really want to wake up this morning but grocery shopping made me do it. grr. Spent 200 bucks there and then it took me forever to get home. (President came to visit.) Came home, had Flyboy unload the car (he didn't have to be at work until late this afternoon) then took him to work. I am now back home cooking all the meat, sorting snacks and doing laundry. That reminds me, I need to check the oven. Hold on...

Okay, I'm back. I think I will give it about 10 more minutes. *yawn* Well yesterday, the boys (Flyboy and 3yr old's dad) wanted to stay late and play games, both not realizing that I was beat, exhausted and wanted to go home and crash. We stayed there until 2200. grr. So as soon as I came home I crashed. I don't think I would have been so tired if the house was cool, that heat was killing me. I would have open the doors but there was no difference in temperature and no breeze either. Oh well.

Though, I do have some news. I love how husbands spring things like this on you. Well Flyboy, somehow, won us free tickets to the upcoming AF Ball and there is no way we can get out of it because we are being sent as reps of his Flight. Yeah. Guess when it is...? Next Friday! I don't have anything to wear and so now I get to (10 minutes. oven check.) (yup, its done) find a dress and schedule a bunch of stuff this weekend. Don't get me wrong I find this as an honor and feel very privilaged to go, but this is slightly inconvienint. We actually were planning on going next year. Oh! Guess what? flyboy just messaged me and said he was released early. Awesome right, he will P.T and then I will pick him up at 1530... if my jeans are dry. All my pants just got put in the dryer.

--------------------------

Well I think I am going to start on dinner. I don't know if my step-dad will swing by, hopefully he will. I should probably call him. I am sure he wouldn't mind some home cooking in the middle of his trip back home. hehe. Hmm.. *yawn* I may write some more later tonight, not sure. I still have A LOT to do in the kitchen. So good night for now.

Well, Good Morning all!

I really didn't think I would be up THIS early. The alarm isn't suppose to go off until 0730 for me. I guess this is what I get for taking a 3 hour catnap after chores yesterday. I told Flyboy not to let me sleep. Oh well. I don't think it helped that I woke up starving either. So I am eating breakfast at the moment too. Yes, of course it's non-traditional breakfast. What is it you ask...? Tacos! I needed that tupperware dish to pack some of Flyboy's lunch today. 

Anywho... I will be posting all throughout the day on this particular entry. I think it makes more sense rather than posting a bunch for one day. Well... my tacos need me. =) hehe

This is Cadaver1 signing off.(hehe I ALWAYS wanted to say that. ) Bye!

------------------------------------------

Well  I updated all of the pictures with comments and I hope it is more interesting. I think I am going to check the weather, then hit the shower. I still need to pack Flyboy's lunch! I will see you all at Nap Time!

----------------------------------------

Alas! It is three hours into Nap Time. Woohoo! Flyboy should be getting off in an hour or so. I don't know why, but it is REALLY hot in this house, it's killing me. Anyway, we watched a movie about Monterey Bay Aquarium Monterey Bay Aquarium, and of course, he loved watching the fish. Hehe. Then we dropped Flyboy off at work (he didn’t have to be in until noon, but we dropped him off early so he could P.T.) Then we drove to Flyboy’s house to put his extra shoes away. (He LOVES going to Flyboy’s house. It is so cute.) Of course Mr. 3 year old was hungry and wanted a snack. Okay, so how about something healthy, like an apple. He didn’t want an apple, well at least not until I had him help me peel it. I have one of those apple peeler/ cutter and core remover gadgets. You put the apple on the rod and rotate the handle like a Jack-in-the-box, and it ends up slowly peeling it and everything. Very awesome, I tell you. Anyway, he thought that was the coolest thing. He got to pick out his own apple to peel and rotate the handle. (under my supervision of course. I explained to him what was going on and everything and he was just ecstatic. hehe)

So after that big apple was peeled, cut and de-cored we put it in a plastic sandwich bag and headed back to the little guy’s house. I tell you he sure did love that apple. I cut the apple into bite size pieces which made the bag unable to close, it was so bulky and by the time we got to his house they were ALL gone! I mean it was 1100 when we got back and his lunch time isn’t until 1130 because he Naps at 1200. Apparently he was hungry. Then he ate all of his lunch (macaroni and cheese Chef Boyardee style) then crashed. Hehe. I will say that today wasn’t as busy as Tuesday, but I still am tired. Though that may be due to the fact I woke up so early this morning.

Anyway, I need to work on a grocery list. Tomorrow is payday, which means grocery shopping. I have a big list this time. Since plans changed regarding moving I put grocery money away into savings and we used up the excess food we had around the house. I don’t like completely wiping out my cupboards because then grocery shopping hurts too much. Lol Oh well. *yawn* I should probably start on the list before he wakes up.
