Greatest is LOVE!

I would like to start off by saying just ignore my stress induced post this morning. Not the one about the fest, but the other one. As I said in that post my mom and dad's estate sale was today and I have a habit of displacing stress. I had a talk with Hubby and he was the one to point that out to me. I am so glad that he knows me better than I know my self sometimes.

I spent all morning in tears about the sale. The sale it self was a big cluster fuck. They took things from the house that was not to be sold, and left things that were. My mom and sister went to the action house last night to mark the things that were not to be sold, but we still had to buy back family heirlooms. We only stayed long enough to get a friend of dad's to act as our family buyer. Then my sister went later and there were more things that she had to buy back that we had missed before. Again things that they were not to take to sell. She had to buy things that that I had pulled out for my son. I will tell you seeing things that were not to be sold out for any one to touch just about killed me. I mean they took things like my dad's flag from hem he retired, and the tri-corner hat that my mom made for my son out of a cheep straw hat. They dug in the attic and the closets and they were not suppose to. They took the doll house my dad mad for us when we were little. My sister had to pay a lady $50 for a family heirloom that was marked not to sell because they sold it before she got there, and the lady acted all pissy with her. I am glad my sister was there she can be a real bitch when she wants to be.

It is done and over with now. If it is gone we are not getting it back now.

I may or may not have done something really dumb. I just claimed a prompt for drapery_snarco. I have never done a anything like this before. I think that I can do it. I picked a quote prompt. "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." --William Shakespeare

I have about two months to write this. I do have an idea that came to me when I saw the quote, so that is something to start with.

It is Saturday and I woke up at 7:30 am and could not go back to sleep. That is not normal for me. I know what it is, I am stressed. It is less than two week until Christmas and I am broke. Not my son will get fewer presents but I can't even pay my bills. I keep doing math in my head and come up with nothing. I am not sure what I am going to do. I guess I could hold out for a "Christmas miracle". Did you catch the sarcasm there. I work with a woman that has gotten so many Christmas gifts from the community that she could almost not buy any gifts for her kid. I know that she has done nothing, and people are just giving them to her, but, damn. The part of me that is bitter says that it is because her husband left her, and he is a dead beat. And people look at my family and think that because I have my husband that we are ok. My hubby has not work since he was diagnosed in Feb. of '07. He can't work. I am the only income. I make just over minimum wage. Even with my 2nd job I don't get payed until after Christmas. I just don't know what I am going to do.

Today is also the day of my parents' sale. Today I get to watch all of the things that my parents have collected over the years get sold off one peace at a time. Yeah, I am a little stressed.

Hi all!! I am at work on break, and I have 15 min left. That is not enough time to start reading anything. I feel like I am so far behind on my f-list. Especally on IJ. I read LJ and than it is to late to even start on IJ. If I have missed anything important just let me know. Other wise I will get around to reading it, someday.

Yesterday the daycare closed at 1 pm and you would think that I could play catch up then, but the weather had the internet down until 8 pm. Instead I took a nap!! That was nice. I can't remember the last time I could take a nap.

I am so in love with my new fandom, House. But the other day I was reading a House/Wilson story and House turned into Snape in my head. Has that happened to any one else?

Speaking of House, I loved last nights episode. My fave part: House asking Wilson if he had ever cheeked the price of Fireman strippers and Wilson said YES!

So I have had a lot of shit going on.

( My life. )
Well, yeah, that is my life.

Just a getting to know me memo.

I saw this on dreamsofspike and thought it might be fun!!



Christmas Gift Toy & MySpace Layouts at pYzam.com

This has been seen all over the place, and I thought I would share it with you lovely people.



There has been some people who have said that this isn't very accurate, but I think it is for me.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my f-list!!

Well the day is almost over. It was very different from any Thanksgiving that my family has ever had. We rented a house to have Thanksgiving at. It is wheel chair assessable so my dad could be there. That was awesome. Because we rented such a big house we invited a ton of people. I think my mom counted their were 31 people there. My dad invited his family there. I know I shouldn't say it but his family is all white trash, well most of them. His sister came up and she is cool. My mom invited a lot of her friends, including one of her "special friends". My brother in-law came. My sister invited friends from work and their families. It had the potential to being very explosive. It turned out really good. We had a lot of fun. Everyone brought something. We ended up with lots of pie and wine. I don't have a taste for wine so that was not something I had. The food was great, and one of the best parts was that the people in charge of the house do most of the clean up. My hubby got to see my dad for the first time sense the stroke, and I think it was good for him. I have been trying to tell him how bad Dad is, but he never got it until today.

The only bad thing was that my sis had her wallet stolen at the Thanksgiving party. She thinks she way know who did it. She did call the cops and report it.

I came home and to a nap. Then Hubby, Mike and I watch "Hancock". Hubby bought it today. Hubby and Mike thought it was a good buy, I am not so sure. It is the kind of movie that I would only watch once. Mike loved it, but he loves any thing with a superhero in it. I did like that it was very clean. Very little blood, and really minimal violence, and cussing.

Really a good day. Tomorrow my mom, two of my sisters and I are going out to the house to pack up what is left to be saved and not actioned off. That also has the potential to be bad. Wish me luck!!

To everyone who is stuffing their faces today:

We had a meeting tonight at the daycare. It looks like that the daycare will be closed at the end of December. I am very shaken up about this. As much as I bitch I do love my job. It is hard for me to even think that I will not get to see my kids graduate preschool. I am not really to worried about money. I have talked to my sis and I can get hours at Taco John's. I love my kids and I love the daycare. The director gave her notes that even if the daycare stays open she will not be back after the new year. I know that there were a lot of hurt feelings but I never wanted any one to quit. I have cried and now I feel numb.

I had one of the best afternoon with the school kids at the daycare. They were playing Harry Potter. There was fangirl glee at that. They had me pick who got to play who. I convinced a boy that Snape was a good guy. I spent a lot of time saying "no unforgivebles". LOL One kid really new his stuff and was using real HP spells. Really it was awesome!! OK I am a Harry Potter nerd, but really who cares. The kids loved that I knew so much about HP.

What has surprised you the most about me (if anything) since joining my flist? Was anything completely unexpected or have I always fit the picture of me you have in your head? Post this in your own journal IF YOU WANT TO and see how you have surprised people!

My hours got changed at work. I lost a half an hour, so I go in at 9. The nice thing is that after I get my son of to school I have at least 1/2 an hour to be on the computer. I am not looking forward to the cut in my pay, but my lovely sister got me a part time job. She is the Ass. Manger at our Taco John's. I worked there for 10 years before I got my degree and my job at the daycare. I guess I still have some pull there because when Holly asked about weekend hours the manager said there wasn't any, but when she told him who they were for he say that they would always take me back. The only down side it that I swore that I would never go back there, but with my hours getting cut and Christmas coming up I need the money. One really nice thing: free food and most important: FREE MT. DEW!!! Really they have the best Mt. Dew in town.

I have to go and don't have time to spell check so if you can't read I will edit later.

You Are Ernie

Playful and childlike, you are everyone's favorite friend - even if your goofy antics get annoying at times. You are usually feeling: Amused - you are very easily entertained You are famous for: Always making people smile. From your silly songs to your wild pranks, you keep things fun. How you life your life: With ease. Life is only difficult when your friends won't play with you!

I was looking over my past posts, and God, I am a whiny bitch. Not something I really want to be. I don't know what has been wrong with me for the past few weeks. I think that I might have seasonal depression, and mixed with all the shit at work, with my dad and everything that goes with that I have become aforementioned "whiny bitch". I have thought of going to get some medication to help with the depression. I mentioned this to some RL friends and I get a lecture on how I should deal with things and not rely on drugs. I don't really want to fill your f-list with me being a "whiny bitch", but this is one of the only placed that I don't feel like I need to put on a show for. And I am doing it again.

I just feel better writing it out. Even if you see that I have posted and go "Oh, God, Jenny is being a whiny bitch again." Really it has to get better. Right? And I know all of this crap is suppose to make me a better person, but really I like me better before I became "whiny bitch" girl.

In conclusion I am making a "whiny bitch" tag, so if you don't want to read about me being said "whiny bitch" you don't have to, kay?
