Time flies when you're having fun...or moving.
The Thing turned 36. I bought him expensive cigars and we had Mexican and Margaritas with Inigo.
According to Eco-Libris.com I've killed 17 trees with the cardboard boxes I'm using to move. I think that's a gross underestimation.
The Boy turned 17. I bought him Rock Band (or something). His rendition of 'Black Hole Sun" got him booed off stage. I couldn't have agreed more.
The number of douchebags I encounter during my daily commute rises in direct proportion with the fewer number of days I have to make said commute.
The Girl got her first wiggly tooth. I haven't bought her anything yet but when I had her venture a guess at what the Tooth Fairy would bring her she said "A $30 gift card".
It took The Paperweight 28 months but he finally filled out a change of address card. The post office, in their infinite wisdom, has continued sending me his mail and he is now getting mine and The Boy's. It's a good thing they're raising their rates again...
In the 18 months and 13 days since I met The Thing, today was the first time I was actually mad enough to yell at him. Though I didn't technically yell. It was more like me choking on a sob and saying loudly, "And I'm really fucking pissed off at you." I'm not like a lot of people, girls in particular. I know my limitations. And when I say, this is too much for me to handle at one time and it's not going to work out, I mean it. No, I'm not stronger then I look nor stronger then "I think I am". I'm me, plan and simple and I've lived with myself long enough to say hey, I don't think I can do this. And I said it way back in September and that was before remodeling one house, buying another, being diagnosed with cancer, quitting smoking, and packing up my kids & my house and moving to another state.
No, he didn't yell at me. You guys know us better then that. We had a nice long talk instead. Two, in fact. Then I chilled out with a couple of beers and now I'm climbing in bed to ponder 5 year olds with $30 gift cards.

I got booed off the stage playing Guitar Hero, too, and I'm pretty sure I deserved it.
Mike said, "Can't you play something that resembles anything that's music?" Not on HARD, asswipe! (As he's still sucking you-know-what on medium.)
Mario Smash Bros. and Guitar Hero have me convinced that I missed my calling as a sharp shooter or rock star. Is it too late?
What, no Grand Theft Auto IV?
Somewhere there's a ho that needs a smack-down.
You do have a lot on your plate right now, many of those "most stressful events" at one time. I feel for you.
Just keep repeating what you said back then..."I think I can. I think I can. I think I can."
HATE moving, just HATE it!!! Yep, I'm like that, only I just can't let it go and do it all....very stressful.
Good luck with the move....how much longer?
So have you already made the move in totality? Are the kids done with school? I agree with Kelly -- your plate's full.
Congrats on the quitting smoking thing though. I know that's been tough for you. But you'll be with us much longer now!
$30 gift card to where? Chucky Cheese? *snicker* Gap Kids? LMAO!
Loren...I normally can't get into video games at all, but I did find myself singing along at times. I may have to try it if I ever find myself home alone.
Bob...He wants GTA as well. He thought Paperweight was getting him that one but he ended up welshing on that deal.
Kelly...thanks for the encouragement.
BTDT...Amen to that. May 31st is the Uhaul date.
CC...kids finish on the 30th and we're splitting the next day.
::big fat raspberry:: regarding the smoking. I'm so miserable and depressed, my ass now has it's own zip code and I spend just as much money (seriously) on tictacs and gum. Why did I quit again?!
dude, do you realize how much $30 bucks per tooth is gonna add up to be???????
hmmmmm......i wonder if i'm too old for the tooth fairy?
Yeah You, and Yeah Thing. Life is good if you know it and celebrate it. You two know that. Blessings for both and each and you two together.
