trying new stuff

I'm so sick of the same old food. Everyone in this house is sick of the same old food, but I don't know what or how to fix stuff they will like.  Every time I try new stuff they don't like it ..Well except for the smoothies.. That has been successful .. Yesterday I even added spinach to mine to see if I could tell, nope.. So now I'm gonna try to sneak it into Jeff and Jordans..I made kale chips today with our hamburgers.. I liked them, Jordan didn't, but I think with less of the cayenne pepper he will like them.. Next time I know to really pile the kale in the pan, cause they shrivel up to almost nothing.

So far its still a go for us to come to the bday party on Sunday. I still need to get directions though.. We got lost the last time we came over. Then we got lost trying to leave town.

Well I think its my nap time...

Cole getting too big

Well I pissed Jeff off , When I asked him what he wanted to give Cole for his bday , he said nothing.  I told him thats not fair.  So I got Cole a small cake from HEB and a card with money in it.  Jeff didn't know about the money.. I didn't tell him, I didn't keep it from him either . I just didn't bring it up.  So today he asked me how much I gave Cole and I told him the same amount that Jordan got for his bday.  So that is what pissed him off.. He doesn't agree that Cole should get money for his bday anymore.  I disagree.. If we have the money , and I want to give it to them what is the harm in that.  So I guess I will have to get a job next year if I want to give Cole money for his bday. Jeff also through a fit when Cole asked me to take in his boots to be repaired.. I told him I would , its not like I'm busy.  Again Jeff said you don't do things for me, but you jump when Cole asks you to do something.  Which is not true, I do everything for Jeff.. We have had this fight before and when I said I do everything for you , he said you don't wash my coffee mug from work.  So now after I great him at the door, like a good 1950's wife and kiss him , I take his mug and wash it.  So when he again threw in my face that I don't do anything for him , I just walked away.. I mean really what else does the man want from me.. Sometimes I think I should really get a job when Jordan gets a car.. Just so I won't be doing all the stuff the Jeff said I don't do for him , so he will actually see what I do..

I think Jordan is going to come with me on Sunday to the bday party.  I'm looking forward to visiting with everyone.

I don't really have anything else to say.. Hope everyone is well..

More tree's

Today is another day of tree cutting , Jeff is determined to get it done.. We will probably go up to the hospital for a bit then come home and do tree's . Jordan works just the lunch rush, so he will be home to help today.  My uncle's chain saw is larger than Jeff's , but he couldn't get it to start last night.. The ladder is huge though, so Jeff will be able to get up to the taller limbs.

Well really not much else to write about.  I'm hoping to go to the bday party on Sunday.  Jordan is off work and I'm going to see if would come along so he can get some driving time in..

Hope everyone has a great day..

Back on my pills

Well I'm still carrying around that extra ten pounds I gained from both surgeries.  Its all in my belly area still.. I look  pregnant. I have never had that problem before. Usually my weight gain is all over not in one area.  Everyone I talk to said I'm still bloated and its just the gas from the combined surgery.  Rondi told me when she had back surgery and she bloated up like I am it took 6 months for it to go away. She said it was weird its like she went to bed and then woke up with it gone. Lost 10 pounds in her sleep. Oh that would be nice!! Anyway I got back on my thyroid pills on Saturday, I have been off them for a while.  I don't know why I stopped taking them.. Just stupid I guess.  Hopefully between the pills, hormones, exercise, and eating better will get me where I want to be.

I am peeling from my sunburn I got from the tree cutting day and it is driving me nuts. I can't believe that I , the sunblock nagger, forgot to put sunblock on.. Yes Jeff is eating that shit up..I hate being sunburned, I hate my skin peeling !!!

I just mowed the front yard last week and it already needs it again.. Wasn't able to mow the back yard because of all the shit in the yard, now I need do it.. It is soooo tall.. I picked up sticks last night and plan to mow it here in a bit.. I just need to get motivated to do it.. With the cloud cover, I got the lazy's.

We are going to go to Jeff's dad's side of the family reunion in July.  We have never been. He hasn't been since he was a young boy, but he has been in contact with his Hayes family through facebook and they have talked him into going. I understand that he wants to see these people that he hasn't seen in years, but I would just rather do something else..Vonda is going to come and house/dog sit for us.. Mandy doesn't think they will have the money to go, but she is going to try. There house payment jumped from $760 to $1300. Had something to do with there home owners insurance.. I gave them the ones we used and now there payment went down to $780, but it will take a month for the change to go into effect..Our house payment is probably going to go up due to the taxes.. Since we have been here our taxes have gone from $1500 to now $1900. On a good note our property value has increased ten thousand since last year..We still talk about selling this place.. If Jeff could find a job somewhere else we would move in a heart beat.. I would love to just get rid of everything and buy a really nice travel trailer and some land..Once Jordan moves out we really don't need this house.. Hell he would move into a travel trailer with us. He doesn't care as long as he can access internet to play xbox.. My mom said we could live at her place, but my dream would be to travel around and stay at different places, but you gots to have money for that..

Our insurance company paid us a lot more than what I expected and they were so fast at getting a check to us. Now we just have to wait for the morage people to mail back our check.. I think thats such bullshit.. Insurance people said it is now the law. The check had to be in both Jeff's name and Green Tree .. So we had to mail them the check they sign it and mail it back to us.. Its not fair they didn't fork out the $1400 to fix the electricty. They didn't spend two days cutting tree's and hauling them off.. Why do they have to sign the check?????  Anyway moving on..

Well I have had my coffee, now I really need to go mow... hope everyone has a great week..

No time to exercise

I have not exercised this week like I had a planned, but I did get exercise in.  I hurt in places that make me feel old. We did massive yard work for two days.  The first day it was just me and Jeff and we worked from 11:30-7.  I tell you I got more of a full body workout hauling limbs and cutting them down than I would have doing my dvd. The second day Jordan was home to help, so my work was cut in half. We also didn't work as long, 10-3 or so.. Then Jeff built a fire in the fire pit and we roasted weirners and had smores that evening.. It was nice to sit and chill.. I also had two beers.  Thats something we have started doing again.. Having a few drinks on Jeff's day off. We are still not done out back.  We have to get a bigger chain saw to finish up.  I also want Jeff to make a bench out of the thickest piece of tree thats left.  He likes the idea, so he is going to try..I think it would look cool by our fire pit. I was thinking about mowing the back yard this morning, but right now I don't feel up to the task.

My cousin from Washington is coming in for the weekend, well she is flying down with her two kids to leave them with my aunt and uncle for the summer. So Saturday night we are suppose to join the family in a get together to eat and visit.  We are also suppose to go to Norton for Jeff's family reunion Saturday morning. We haven't been to one in about 9 years.. They just are so boring and when the boys were younger there was nothing for them to do. Now its just so boring!!

Well I did that lemonaid cleanse three times yesterday , and then bailed.. I can't do it.. I would rather take a pill that cleaned me out then drink that stuff and not eat.. I have no will power, I need food..

I am having an issue with my checking account.. I have always rounded up to the nearest dollar when subtracting my balance, that way I never have to figure in the cents. I suck at math so why add numbers, plus it has been sort of a savings account. We have done and bought things with all that extra cents.  Anyway as of two weeks ago when I figured the check book we were $135 over what the bank showed and everything had cleared already.  Then Jeff got paid on the 13th , but we didn't have electricity so no internet until late so I didn't pay bills or figure the account. Then all weekend I was busy getting food again and doing laundry, cleaning up from not having electric. Then we did yard work and so yesterday was the first time for me to sit down and figure the check book and pay bills. Only now my account is under that additional $135. I have gone all the way back to January and re added and subtracted and checked evrything that has cleared three times and can't find it.. How did it just vanish with out a trace.. I called the bank and a woman was helping me we got all the way to March then she had to help someone in person and said she would call me back,  but she never did. I tell you it is driving me crazy that the money is just gone, like it was never there..

I really want another tattoo, I know what I want , I just don't know exactly where I want it..

Well thats all I got.. Hope everyone is well..

Electricity is so nice!

I'm so thankful we have electricity again.  That was a hard two days, I feel sorry for those that have to go longer without. Of course they probably have somewhere to go. We could have left too if we didn't have so many dogs. Oh well , now we wait for the insurance adjuster to come on Monday, hopefully we get fully refunded what we had to pay the electrician plus money to pay for additional damage done from the tree falling.

Hope everyone has a great day

the gym

Well I went down to our Anytime Fitness yesterday to get prices for me and Jordan. I was thinking about how good Laura is doing and wanted to give weight lifting a serious try. Plus I think it would be good for Jordan. Well its not going to happen. As soon as walked in I felt over whelmed. I'm just not a gym type girl. I hate all the people staring at me. The guy I talked to was really nice and showed me around, but I just didn't feel comfortable. Not to mention I seriously do not want to spend $100 dollars a month for 12 months. So I will just continue to work out here at home.  Jordan said he would just buy him some free weights and go on youtube..  Love that kid!
Jordan got another raise at work, he is now making more money than Cole ever did up there. Cole worked there for two and half years and Jordan hasn't even  been there a year yet.. go Jordan!!!  So proud of him.. He really enjoys working up there. He got a really good compliment the other night. The owner's friend came threw the drive through the other day, Jordan of course was the runner, anyway she told Jordan and the owner that he was the best most funniest person she has ever dealt with up there.. I tell him all the time he is a funny kid, but I guess coming from a stranger means more than what mom says.. LOL
Well time to get busy with my day.. Hope everyone is well.
