Hidee Ho Neighbors and Buh-biiii!

Don't you love to see a For Sale sign go up in the yard of the neighbor that you find to be less than neighborly?! I do!! And it happened today! Yippeeee!! "Good riddance" to the NON STOP BARKING DOG (ya, it was me who called the police at 4am...I figured if I was up because of your dog, you should be TOO!), and "See Ya!" to the trampy little 17 yr old cheerleader who likes jumping half naked on her trampoline with her other cheerleader friends, (eh eh, before you say anything, NO, I'm not jealous...I'm concerned for my two boys - one of which is at that wonderful age of 12- and these girls weren't just scantily clad...they were in their bras and panties, in their back yard, no privacy fence, in our little neighborhood where houses are very close together!),
and BUH BI to you GRANDMA who came over to tattle on my children for being too loud at about 6:00 in the evening! Get over yourself!! And SHAME on you for just sitting there flicking your cigarette when I did the right thing and walked them over to your front porch to apologize to you! For what - I still don't know, but it seemed like the "NEIGHBORLY" thing to do!! Ya, you can bite me granny!! (Don't you all just want to move next to me??!! lol)

Anyway...moving on....geez, what a day! I was SO busy. I cleaned, painted, went to walmart, did laundry (which required me to wash here and go to the laundry mat in town), re-worded some things in my daycare contract, took everything down off the walls and windows in the daycare room, taught my homeschooled kids (ok, not really but I'll make them watch c-span later...does that count?) and worked...lol And it's not going to slow down any time soon. Tomorrow I am getting up a half hour early to take a daycare child a half hour before I normally open. I'm so nice! I'm not even getting paid extra for it and I think this family is leaving...so I'm stupid, but I'm NICE!
Then tomorrow night is Taylor's first baseball practice, unless it rains like it's suppose to. (wouldn't hurt my feelings!) Then I have major cleaning all weekend. Like major! I've let some things go and now I have triple the work. ugh. If your house is 10 minutes from being completely clean for company at all times... please leave my blog now!! Just kidding. Maybe you could send me some hints on how to do that?
Next week should slow down a bit. I have an interview on Wednesday... really need some kiddos, so say a little prayer it will be a good family! Thursday I have family coming for the weekend and Taylor has baseball practice that night. Friday I am off work (yee haw) and we have a Good Friday service at our church that evening. Saturday - busy with family, Sunday - Easter, Monday - off work again (another "yee haw"!), but sadly we'll be saying good bye to family. Then it's back to the grind until Memorial Day.

Well, there's more I wanted to cover... Like all the Florida House of Reps (D) on
C-Span last night at 10:30... My new idol is Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz http://www.house.gov/schultz/bio.htm She rocks!! Has anyone else noticed that minimum wage has stayed the same since 1997...that's almost 10 YEARS!!! By now, minimum wage should be $8.88!! I loved it when she compared that to a Big Mac value meal at Mc Donalds! She said that is what Americans are worth in pay...one Big Mac value meal per hour! Her and Ken Meek really intrigued me!

Does the fact that I've now given up The Golden Girls to watch C-Span scare any of you? Cause it DOES me!!!! You know what else scares me? This...

Times Are A Changin'

I had to do something last night that I haven't had to do for 10 years...I had to set my clocks an hour ahead. Grrr. Indiana really was FINE the way we were, but I guess the farmers disagreed. The good thing is that I will be on the same time as my friends and family in other states. Oh...and The Golden Girls will still be on at the same time each night. Yippeee! lol (I know I'm weird...you don't have to leave a comment!)

Anyway, I guess because of the whole time change situation, my internal clock got a little messed up cause I kept waking up at really wacky times all night long. Then I would sit and think to myself, "ok, the clock says 4:30 but it really should only be 3:30"... I had my alarm set at 6:50, but when it went off I guess my half-asleep self must have thought I had more time because I ended up turning the alarm off and going back to sleep. Needless to say I woke up at 8:20, ready to get up and get ready...thinking it was only 7:20 and I'd have an hour to get ready for church. BUT...you know, since church starts at 8:30, I just thought for some odd reason that it may be a little too late to go. lol

So, NO...to my nagging friend (you know who you are) who asks me each week "Did you go to church????!!!!" No, I didn't go. And now I don't want to hear another thing about it. Especially considering the fact that if you were still married, you'd never see the inside of a church... so don't go playing all goody goody with me now girlfriend!

We just got done having lunch...it was yummy. Nothing big, but it was good. We had spaghetti, a wonderful salad (with carrots, cheese, green peppers, crutons, and dressing), and garlic bread that was baked just right! It was so much better than going out and getting fast food!!

It's now 2:45 and I really need to get busy. I have painting to do... I got the paint last night and now I just need to get myself in the mood to start it. I am going to repaint our stairs and upstairs hallway. We have family coming for Easter and I want it to look decent. It's ok now, but since it was first done with flat paint by the builders, it just has a lot of little marks and fingerprints from two little boys who were only 6 and 3 yrs old when we moved in.

OH OH... I have joke for ya...
I went to bed real early Friday night, therefore I was fully awake at 6:30 Saturday morning, so I just layed in bed and flipped through channels trying to be quiet so I wouldn't wake anyone else up... I'm shocked that my outburst of laughter didn't wake the whole house when I heard this... here it is... try not to die laughing...

Yo mama's so crosseyed that yo daddy left her for seeing someone on the side.

I don't know why, but that just caught me funny and I seriously burst out laughing.
Anyone have a good "Yo Mama" joke? If so, please leave it for me.
