The weirdest day this month

Hi all in internet world.  So I haven't had much to blog about lately.  I am sure you don't care to hear about my sons rantings about King George, or my other sons whining about everything, or about the babies new backpack, lanyard, and sponge bob clothing fetish.  Yep daily he must have at least one item of Spongebob clothing: Preferably both shirt and pants (which by the way he learned to put on himself so he amuses himself by dressing and undressing himself in a variety of sponge bob combos throughout the day)...next he grabs his purple lanyard that his brother brought home from some school assembly a year ago, and then puts on his "packback" just like "dory"...the back pack is yellow, blue and red.  It is a toddler size that we procured as a free gift from either the Dr suess book club or the Childrens book of the month club.  He finishes off his ensemble with shoes, sponge bob slippers or my fuzzy pink slipper socks.  He is eccentric and adorable at the same time.  Anyone want to join me in a class action law suit against Nick Jr..for not providing warnings before their programs that sitting in close proximity to your toddler during said show may produce bruises, black eyes or other injuries? Especially during Yo Gabba Gabba.  Those flailing arm dances really can pack a punch.  They are in utter dancing, singing bliss while flailing their arms about and spinning around copying the dancing of the kids and characters.  Yes so when I go to the doctor Monday how am I to say...My almost three year old gave me a black eye.  for the second time!  Do you think they'll buy it or refer me to domestic violence centers?!

Okay so on with my day.  I am a horrid insomniac.  I never sleep well.  I was just falling to sleep when my ten year old plops in my room, starts shaking pop cans, turns on the computer and starts watching cartoons.  Hello we have cable!  I told him to go downstairs and watch tv.  Also told him not to re-enter my room until 6 am unless there was a major emergency.  I roll over and start to drift off again and then hear stomp stomp stomp, creek....and again tell said child to leave the room.  Again starting to drift off and again he comes in.  This time I yelled.  We all can't be Michelle Dugger can we?  By this time I have given up on sleeping.  At 5:50 Nick comes in, but not for the computer or tv...he is looking for underwear and clothes to get dressed for school.  I let him know where they are.  Then he gets dressed and talks to me for a few minutes and since he is ready for school I let him on the computer for a half hour.  Dylan (the aforementioned sleep wrecker) comes in and cries because nick is on the computer and I said he cannot use it because he didn't listen this morning.  Then the baby is up singing and bouncing around.  He is so adorable.  I wake up the husband.  And then after the children go to school, I read the Julie/Julia blog for a little bit (I googled it around 3am).  Then I fall asleep around 10 am.  I am awakened by a cat on my stomach which makes me have to use the bathroom.  Yet it is eerilie silent in the house.  My husband is curled up on the bed next to me, the baby is napping,  I can't figure out what is different as I make my way down the stairs to tinkle.  Then I figure it out.  The electricity is out.  So I wake up husband worried that some idiot at the electric company put our check thru too early as they promised to post date it for the first.  Nope turns out the neighbor had two tree's cut down and they turned off the electric to four houses on the block just in case and it should be back on in three hours.  Fine I went back to sleep.  Today was an early release day.  Meaning Nick was in my room talking about something and wanting something to drink as soon as he left it seemed.  Ugg.  Anyhow.  I drift off again, hubby is up by now.  20 minutes later husband and all kids are in my room again and I am awake now. I am told I have mail....

The return of Wally!  Remember how I said that hubby had found a lump in the ladies..and I went to the doctor and they did all sorts of tests.  Then I got a letter either last Saturday or the Saturday before stating that everything was normal....well I get a letter today and an urgent phone call stating that "Your recent digital mammogram showed a finding that requires additional imaging studies for a complete evaluation"  The phone call was taken by my husband and was urgently scheduling me for follow-up testing on MONDAY.   Okay whatever happened to the letter that said "the result of your digital mammogram on 2/09/10 was normal:"... what are these things like pregnancy tests or those invisible pens the longer you let it sit the darker and more visable it becomes?  Was somebody drawing on it?   WTF?  I am convinced that this is a conspiracy.  There is nothing wrong.  They just haven't seen enough of the ladies.  I don't like to pay for having my boobs squished, felt up by various people; wet, thick, slimy stuff rubbed all over them....Shouldn't they be paying me for that?
Good news is I got a 80.00 check today and went to cash it vs. depositing it because well we are slightly withdrawn in our CA and we needed the cash for some food for the weekend.  I get money on the first and it will more than cover what we are behind.  No biggy.  So we went to Wally world and got my check cashed, got some groceries, cat food and diapers.  Came home and got a phone call from the electric company saying we needed to call them by 9 pm tonight.   So we call.  Turns out that there was no memo on the account that we paid the bill but upon further investigation (a different page in our account) it showed the post dated check there.  So we were all good.  Again another URGENT false alarm.
I then get a call from my Sister in law.  I told her the fabulous news of the mail I received.  Then she decides to tell me that she has great news to tell me.  That she is retiring her old head bitch (best friend) and I am now the glorious holder of that title!  Yeah...I have worked hard for that title, now if she only would have seen it years ago that I was qualified for that position it would have saved us both some heartache.  But hey the point is I am finally IN!  Along with this dubious title, I get unwavering loyalty, no longer will she sit silently while others bad talk me etc.  I am happy.  Really I am.  I was wondering if she'd ever notice my potential. I of coarse demanded a certificate of award.  And then asked if this is like the booby gate.  Next week will I get a letter saying she is sorry but I am not as qualified as previously thought and my title given to someone else?!  We both got a laugh out of that.  Yes we are strange, and dysfunctional in normal world.  But if you knew of our backgrounds it is the most functional thing yet!  He He.  Anyhow I love her, she loves me now.  It is great to hear.  I am sad we had to move so far away.  Like I said if she would have realized this over a year and half ago, maybe I'd still get to be in Iowa somewhere.  Sigh.  Oh well.  Stinky in-laws...(Not her), the others.  But of coarse blood is thicker than non blood.  So I can't fault her for wanting to go along with the others.  I of coarse know nothing of the bond of sisters because I never had any.  I have two older brothers.  So basically I am an only child when it comes to siblings.  He He.
I am still addicted to my Facebook.  I am still slowly regaining memories of my youth and I am still confused about my life.  But who isn't.  So I am wondering what to do...should I blog about something important.  A theme perhaps.  I was thinking about cooking the recipes out of RR 30 minute meals and telling you how much time and money it actually cost and if they are any good.,  I don't know.  I feel like I have no purpose but to be a pin cushion and lab rat to doctors and a complaint department for husband, children and family members.
Okay is it normal for a laptop to heat up so hot?
That is it for the night.  I mean morning.  Time to try to get some sleep before I catch children sneaking in to use the computer or steal my Mountain Dew.  In a few hours I will be waking up to the shrill blood curdling screaming and fighting of my children and husband.  Can you see how enthused I am!  Tomorrow  Tomorrow I'll Love ya Tomorrow....yeah blow it out your ear Annie.  It is a Hard Knocks life and no amount of singing makes it go away.  He He...well then again people do seem to scatter when I don my MP3 and sing some Avril or JLO...or maybe some This is the story of a girl...who cried a river and drowned the whole world!!!!!
