Remember.

Silence for soldiers, tears for the fallen. The silence worth a thousand words and even more heartaches.

Sun shinning in my eyes, remembering those who never saw the sun again. Without a blink the tears fall as the guns fire in honor of our men.

Wives, children, mothers, fathers and friends all surrounding as they hear their loved ones name listed. I can feel them cringe in sorrow. Forever gone, we forever cry.

For all our men and women who served for our country and for us, the fallen and the fighting, Thank you.

Lest we forget.

Im more on track that a train!

This morning has been very successful. I cleaned the disaster room known as the critters den, where parrot Eli, and bunny Godzilla (Zilla) have the run and flight of the room. Eli decided since he soaks his food to soften it, that Zilla would like her food in her water too! He also thought the rest of her food should be eaten off the floor, the whole floor. Zilla decided her litter box needed to be cleaned so she dug it all out onto the rug. It took a while but its CLEAN!

All the while Tikka whined at the bottom of the stairs. Why she didnt just walk up them I dont know. I took her out and dumped the litter box out and remembered Dan asked if I would pick up all the poochy poop. So as I dodged the land mines I decided he was right so I began the journey of picking up turds.

Stink pile picking up was complete so next was to sweep the whole house. Tikka made it her duty to eat most of the dirt once it was piled up. If only she could have done that before so I didnt have to sweep it up.

Laundry time! sheets, clothes, towels, its all getting done. One load in the dryer, one in the washer and I just folded a load and put it away. Oh buzzer went off, time to fold!

I could not ask for more.

Im just so happy with my perfect life.

I have the most amazing husband and we are so wrapped up in each other. He mean the world to me and I couldnt ask for more. (in a man that is, NO men wash dishes, clean and all that. So he is the perfect man, any more perfect and he'd be a woman. tehe)

We have an amazing poochy. Tikka is only 6 months old and already sits, stays and closes the door on command. She also doesnt jump up on the couch without an invitation and she grabs her leash when she needs to go out or when we are getting ready t go. She does need to learn what 'lay down' means but she at least has 'sit' and 'stay' down packed. She also will shake her lifeless duckie like crazy when we tell her to 'GET SOME, GET SOME!' (army term) She is so great.

Perfect husband, perfect life and trying to add a perfect baby to the mix. (hopefully already a bean, we'll see....fingers crossed!)

I am the happiest woman alive!!

On the job hunt once again. No more BAD kids!

So I got a message from the kids I was babysitting's mom. She said, "heard my boy was rotten today, do you still want to watch them?" The babysitting fiasco was only the tip of the iceberg that day. So many bigger more important things happened later so I was over the top stressed out. Before I had got this stressed, but after the kids left, I had already decided I was going to look for another job, a real job. My plan was to deal with my house getting destroyed, and ripping out my hair, till I could find something else, then tell them too bad so sad. Rude, I know but they could have always gone back to their old babysitters house. When she asked me if I still wanted to do this, I said, "well I do have the rest of the week to calm down so we will see how next week goes. If I decide I don't want to do it anymore, I will still watch them till you can find someone." She then told me that her sister is watching them from now on till she can find a new sitter. Yes, Im happy I don't have them anymore, but now I've wasted 3 WEEKS of my time, taking care of them when I could have got a real job that doesn't involve my house getting destroyed and I could get more than $35 a Day. With all the time I had them, I only made $150. Three weeks of my time for that! I tried to tell her at least 5 other people told me I should be getting the amount she was paying me for all 3 kids, just for one for a day. She basically told me I was full of shit yet she cant kind a sitter why? Hmm... I wonder.

Oh well. Im handing out resumes monday and had a friend who is seeing about getting me a job where she works at a dog grooming place. I haven't had much luck with the jobs from friends or acquaintances rather but we will see. Its something right.

Every time I turn around.

Im not sure if I like having kids I cant discipline since they aren't mine. This morning the 3 year old boy who is not potty trained, decided to refuse getting his diaper changed. In doing so, my couch got super peed on. Mad already, I take him upstairs to put him on the potty. He was on the potty while I cleaned the couch. I went up there to check on him and there is a LOG on the floor. He pooped and peed on the floor. I made HIM clean it up, but he kept throwing the tp in the potty before it was finished so there was a huge wad in there. I was going to hold half of it with the scrubber and flush then flush the rest so it didn't plug it. He decided to flush it even knowing I told him not to. Toilet CLOGGED. While I went to check on his sleeping sister, he DID pee in the toilet which I praised and rewarded him for. Well the first flush flooded my bathroom so now I have no towels to have a shower. I sent him downstairs while I finished cleaning. He did, and he emptied his sisters bottle on her and the dog. Now I have a sticky dog and sicky kid that cant bath and a wet bathroom. We borrowed the neighbours plunger and the situation is fiiiiiinally covered. Im glad I have the week off to re-coup.

Barking up the baby tree.

So it looks like the husband isn't going over seas. (look like because he would have had gotten his green passport papers and have them handed in next week and he hasn't even got them) I've been seriously thinking about this for the past week and finally decided to ask hubby about this being the last month on bc. He said no after thinking about it for a few minutes. When I asked why he said when I can get the jeep you can have a baby. When I asked later the answer was "......(head shake) then he said, "I want the jeep" and I want a baby so there. He also wanted a laptop which he got in July and said he wasn't going to get till october. He gets everything he wants even when I say no, yet I would be in big trouble if I did for anything I want let alone a baby. I dont even want to do all the temperature checks people do, and eat crazy food that apparently makes it easier to conceive, I just want to go off bc. Thats my rant for the afternoon.
