Lone Black Spider

My Gosh am I droopy, depressed and tired today. I dont want to do anymore work, I can bearly keep my eyes open and I even had 3 cups of coffee today.
My dream for today (and tonight) is to sit on my couch, watch a re-run of the Sarah Connor Chronicles and eat Pizza. Why am I craving Pizza !?!?!?
I sure as heck better not have to go anywhere after we get home. No. Wait. The kiddo wants a haircut. Okay I can do that; which means watch someone else cut his hair while I sit on my butt!
Sometimes I just get into a funk like this. It needs to pass so that I can get on with my life. *sigh*

I have been thinking today. I wonder if my eating habits have something to do with my life problems. I tend to eat when I am stressed and if I think on it, I am stressed these days. Like some people my problems are money related. I want so bad to be debt free. It is like my eating; a rollercoaster of ups and downs.
Freedom Debt Relief can reduce monthly bills, create a savings account specifically used to pay off bills, and contact creditors to help reach a settlement. They are different from other companies as they do actually contact the creditors and help you settle for less than what you owe them! As long as they know they will get paid something, the creditors are willing to work with us; the bills get paid, and we are debt free!
Help with Bankruptcy, Dept Consolidation and Credit Counseling are also offered by FDR. When I was married, I was in debt up to my ears! I am now just about debt free, but I really need to stick to a plan of paying off my Cards, and to not continue charging stuff. Mostly I charge Gas, and that is what gets me in the end. I hate these high gas prices! I still use Cash most often, but I do run out and that is what happened this month.
So I guess I can chalk up my terrible eating habits to my bad spending habits; kick them both in the butt and move on to September. New Month, New Season, New Attitude; things have Got to start getting better!

I have no motivation. I was down to 2 pounds away from my goal, now I am back right up where I started this 10 weeks ago. I just want to eat what I want to eat! and yeah, that is what I have been doing and it shows. But I love Ice Cream, and Chocolate and Peanut Butter and Oreo’s !
Summer is winding down; this IS the last week and school starts next Monday. I go back to my 5 AM wake up time, get back to bed early again and I should get back to eating better again. But until then, sorry to say, I am going to have more Ice Cream tonight. so there !

I like Bugs, okay, most all bugs except Termites. However, we live in a Desert so we do not run across them much out here. We have friends in California though, that had an infestation and they had to evacuate their house for over a week! They are now very pro-active when it comes to termite prevention. The have a guy check out thier place every few months. Better safe than sorry if ya ask me!

1. I have no female friends (other than online!), all my friends are guys.
2. Come October, I will have been at my current job 20 years
3. I love Spiders and we never ever ever kill them if we see them in our house.
4. I go to bed at 8PM in the winter, cuz I get up at 5AM!
5. I need lots of sleep; at least 8 hours or I turn into a bitch, and I mean a Bitch!
6. I love reading death certificates (yeah, its work related) and finding out the cause of death.

so there ya go! prob more info that you wanted to know about me, hehehe

waaaaaah, I wanna go back to bed. Monday came way too quick and I am still exhausted from the weekend. We went to our local Amuzment Park, stayed till it closed, and I must be gettin’ old cuz my body still aches all over! Some of the rides really rattle the bones and its takes me longer each year to recoup. However, we are planning to go again soon, hehehe. They are open for whats called Fright Mare around Halloween. If I want to go during that month, I will have to get my Halloween invitations out soon, cuz it is a fact: my son hates scary rides, the dark, and he hates to be shocked by Halloween stuff. In fact we usually sluff school on Halloween each year and do lunch.
Anyways, I am getting off track here.
If I can last today and tomorrow, the rest of the week should be okay. *sigh*

My son has been evading (see picture below) doing his chores now for the past couple weeks. I chalk it up to it being the end of summer, and it being less work for me just to do them for him, instead of us getting into an argument. However, I am going thru that phase again of being sick and tired of doing it all by myself!!! Our house is not one of those cheap hotels where the maid cleans up after him. So starting fresh tomorrow/Monday, he will get his butt off the couch and help me out!

(this is really not a pic of my son, but some days I DO feel like he is invisible!)

Saturday at last! I am so glad the week is over. It has been a zoo at work. Today however, will be a nice day. We are off to our local amuzment park; Lagoon. It should be fun. We are meeting up w/a few friends as my work is actually sponsoring this so it is free!
Anyways, if I had a choice . . . I would rather go back camping. Here was the view from our campsite. sigh.
