WOW
Time flies when you are ill and working and generally trying to hold it all together.
For those with weak stomachs or any sensitivities at all please go read something else.
I am on day 26 of my period.
My doctor reccomended a hysterectomy some time ago , but I put it off. ( against of all people's advice My Father in Law) Turns out he was right.
But anyway, at the time, I was gearing up for THE CRUISE and even though I was still in the 2 months away range, I did not want to take any chances of having recovery issues and missing this once in a lifetime trip. Which it was. It was a much needed 10 day vacation with my parents that made memories for a lifetime.
However, shortly after my birthday, my husband became redundant and my COBRA has not kicked in. So now I am having major female issues and really all I can do is go to the ER.
So after enduring 6 days of a chemical d and c ,things are even worse.
So I am gonna go back as directed and see what happens.

This Blog.
I am playing with the template. I like the fire, but it was too dark. I have my dark moments but there are so many things I wanna blog about. My interests vary and I will occasionally just post a bunch of things that I like. You may or may not like them, but I can guarantee that there will be some thing you like. As we move into fall I am starting my online looking for Birthday and Christmas. You have to do that when you live in a tiny rural town. I also like researching retro Christmas and Halloween.
I wish I had the money to collect Retro Halloween. But I have too many other collections to start a new one. For example, there is my kitchen which is retro 50's ( Almost) and the attached breakfast area holds most of my Mary Engelbreit collection ( some pieces are on my desk, clothes that my granddaughter has that will go on hangers over the dryer,etc. The reds and blacks in the collection tie in to the colors in the kitchen..and I finally have a place I can put most of my Scottie dog collection. See it all kind of interacts. Kinda like the voices in my head!
Then there is my book collection and my love of cooking gadgets, my husband's old book collection,and of course the biggie,my purses and shoes. Because there are extra people living here and while it is a decent sized house(which we still do not have all the remod done) alot of this stuff is packed up in rubbermaid tubs in the storage shed.
My point is my blog will probably be all over the place like my mind and my collections.

Bringin home the bacon, Chinese style
I am going to try to explain what I do for money. You already know what I do for small kitchen appliances.
See, in Most states ( that have at least 3 brain cells in their legislatures) allow their public schools to be reimbursed by Medicaid or the state's medical aid program. My parents have always been active with Special Education students, starting with my middle sister. This led to my parents using their influence where they could to advocate for Special Needs children. Which led to their Medical Billing merging with the CISS program and POOF! Here they are today with almost 60 counties that they bill and collect for.
Now what I do is I take all kinds of data. And analyze it.And I send out these AWESOME reports that say NEEENER NEEEENER you can't do that ,or you can't do this, Or I am telling your boss how lazy you are. Yep . This Kat gets to tell on people for a living. How lucky can one girl be??
In all reality, my parents company is there to see that the Kids are getting what they need. It is an awesome thing my friends.
On another note. My husband cannot speak Chinese. I can. Did not know that did ya?
Japanese, Spanish, and French. My mother says I used up all in the words in the English Language so I had to start on others. It has helped in the many years My husband and I spent in the hospitality industry. Even my bfffffff since second grade who turned out to be husband's cousin, who is also half vietnamese would call me to help her understand what HER mother was saying. It's a gift ,I guess.
So back to Chinese, Ni Hao, Kai-Lan was coming on. And Bill was trying to say Ni Hao.......I must admit....I peed a little laughing ( HEY I have birthed 3 large children...my preemie was 7pounds at 34 weeks) quietly mind you. As I tried to help him pronounce it , I realized that I was right smack in a comedy of errors and it would go on and on until my bladder broke. He has not started speaking to me yet.
But that is ok because I keep the key to the liquor cabinet. Not that HE would drink it all, but so I know exactly how much booze I have at any given time. I also have adult children that may try to steal my booze. My cigarettes and corn dogs are ok BUT STAY AWAY FROM MOMMY'S SPECIAL MEDICINE.
Anyhoooooo I need to get back to work ( read looking like I am working while I watch Ghosthunters) and I am just drained. I realized that when I gave Maddie her stickers I said they were autocollants and she looked at my liked gramma had lost her mind.......A long time ago ,baby girl, a long time ago

A day in the life.
I thought I would keep a running diary of today for tonight's blog entry. Because I am good to you like that.
Morning. I got up. Had coffee. Peed. Read the news.
Coffee kicked in, so I worked for a bit.
Maddie told Poppop that he can't play with my boobies. Let us discuss this.
1- she has never seen him do so.
2- but her mother still likes to run by me and poke me in the boob.
3-I don't want him playing with them right now. Me not like him.
I just said FML for the 100 the time today and it is not even noon.
Lake of Fire. ( google gehenna)
The more work I do the more is created.
Oh weeeeeeeeee Haley is home. ( I found a picture online I SWEAR is her. And it is at a SC walmart)
My foot is asleep. I tend to sit with my left leg crossed under me. Which is really comfortable until the foot goes numb, I stand up, and then 1,000 hungry, angry naked mole rats are gnawing at my foot.
That last sentence is awful in structure.
I am going to stand up now.
Ok. whew. Time to take my crazy meds. And back to work. Why yes, the crazy meds are my lunch.
Have you checked out Pandora.com???. Awesome online radio. Like everything else including my cat, it is tied into FB.
I went into the kitchen for more coffee, and I saw lemon wedges on the cutting boards. YAY Cocktails!?
No, hubby just decided to froo froo up his drink. WTH??
I had to leave FB. Someone I really love was just ASKING for me to point out her stupidity. And I could not do that. I will go back later.
Right now I must type up this report and send it in. Then gird my loins for school time.
Don't you wish you were me??
Right now I am hiding in the bathroom just so I can think. There are way too many people in this house.I need to get out. Even just for a few minutes. Go feed the ducks or something. GAH.
Gonna zone out in front of iCarly for a few. I loooooooooove this show. It's on Nick.
OMG I am so sleepy.If I take a nap tonight I wont be able to sleep tonight..........hmm is that Logan's mobile or THE ICE CREAM MAN????????? Dernit. Apparently it is the music in the Baby's room in the Talking Barbie House.
We had homemade pizzas for dinner. I make the dough in the breadmachine usually but I am wiped. Hubby bought deli cheese pizzas and we added toppings. I am gonna watch another iCarly and try not to zone out. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Although today has been sucky like a dill pickle. There has been some good parts. Business is getting better, I have more work than I can handle. I have actually gotten some photo editing done. Maybe one day I will sell more than 2 prints. Right now I just want to focus on the positive. I guess I am just kinda gonna be a sloth for a bit and then crawl in the bed. All of the above will probably be future blog posts.
It was the only way I knew I would get a post done.

I am so tired.
But it is a good tired. See along with my oldest moving back in , I kinda had to create more cabinet space since we are cooking for more. Which is fine, I do have a pantry. Unfortunately it was clogged with stuff I am going to ebay,items I got on sale post holidays, and hurricane supplies. I did my best!!!! You have to understand my house.
The nice man we bought it from owns a wonderful construction and renovation company in Charleston. This was the first home he had ever bought himself and there are wonderful touches here and there, including a garage that is 1/4 storage and the rest an apt. I will post pictures later.
There was one thing he neglected. Kitchen counter space and new wiring.
As for the wiring I tried to find a clip of Green Acres. Where you cannot plug a 5 and 7 in at the same time. You remember. I know I do. So don't lie. I will know. And shoot flames of fire just like my toaster will do if you use the microwave and toaster at the same time. Do not dare use a hairdryer. Oh the inhumanity that will follow. It usually involves a lot of foul words and my tripping over the CAT FROM HELL.
As for the kitchen counters. Let me say you could buy a small country for what my vintage steel 1952 MINT cabinets are worth. Alas only the bottom cabinets ans porcelain sink survived.
The only issue is that I do not have enough counter space for my appliances and doodads and my cooking.
Now I am of the mind that you can never have enough small kitchen appliances. Yes, I am that easy. A cuisinart or kitchenaid attachment can get more out of me in the bedroom than diamonds or furs. ( THANK you Nana for taking care of me in the fur,diamond and pearl department. Now only if you could remember who I am). Yes people I get BENDY for things that help me create my culinary masterpieces. I won't tell you what I did for the new blower. It is still illegal in most states.
So anyway my kitchen is kinda crammed. But I sorta went through stuff. At first looking at each item and finding a proper place for it......I worked well into the evening. I should not have had those vodka tonics and cough syrup. I think the rest of the stuff is bound for the dump.
It's ok Nana, Bill hid the good stuff.

The next few days........
Are probably going to be short snippy posts,if anything at all. Meanwhile, my friend Viki over at http://glitterfrog.blogspot.com/ is having snake issues. Go read her. Don't make me get out the FIRE.
I will also be playing with the layout and enjoying my peace and quiet over the holiday.

I need a new do boy.
Ole Bill is just not cutting it. I mean he is great in at least 2 areas. Cooking and babymaking. Only the babymaking parts are disconnected. But they still work just fine.
He is an awesome dad and husband. But due to the aforementioned busted legs, I feel kinda quilty about asking him to get something. The fact that he just says no takes care of THAT.
I work hard and I am adjusting to new meds so that should overrule his boo boo. Right?
I just realized how shaky I am. Alcohol plus new bp meds is not so good.

Kill him,no it,no him WITH FIRE.
Let me preface this by saying I heart my hubby very much. I am so blessed to have him.
But there are times I want to KILL HIM WITH FIRE. Obviously I have never acted on this urge. Cuz there are no intertubes in jail. I looked.
This urge that has occurred more frequently lately. My poor sugar wugar is in between careers. He has been in Food And Beverage Management for,like EONS. Really. We. are.that.old.
But there is a small issue. I married a crip. Yup. When I gave all those vows to honor,cherish,and love ( notice there was no obey. Pastor Bob knew that I knew where he lived) I knew that his right leg would forever be an issue. I got that. I understood. It was cool. Well other than spending 10.5 months pregnant with out first child wondering if she was gonna have a club foot too. And then it was like she knew I was worried because lil me took 2 weeks extra in there. That is so like her.
Anywayherewegetbacktotopic. My dear one , a few years ago broke his leg in a fall from a hunt stand.So now we have 2 busted up legs. YOU ONLY GET 2 YOU FREAK.
This brings us to almost our point. He obviously does not get younger each year like I do. Duh.
And he has always been a large boy. So his legs are not doing very well. I mean that is a lot of awesome to carry around.( yes he was reading)
So his company was all" we don't like you limping so we are going to fire you. And we wrote the book on CYA. Especially after all those racial cases we had to fight off."
So here we are. We are both at home ALL day and watching every dime and having an unusual amount of what I call " I am going to make mommy want to drink the hard stuff" thrown at us.
Which brings me to the fire.
Seeeeeeee My husband should have been a lawyer. Because he can take something simple and argue it six ways to Sunday and convince you he is right. I especially hate it when those are directed at one of the kids because then I can't sit there and piss him off. I have to be parental.
So I sit there and listen to him make the same point a different way for the eleventyhundreth time. I and I squint at his head. And I pretend I am a firestarter. And I focus that energy on his widow's peak. It helps a lot. IT DOES!
However this is really FRIKKIN AWESOME to watch his dad do this to him. I giggle like a school girl.
We will muddle though all this, we always do.( HA! you biatches who thought we getting hitched because I was pregnant -not you Johnny,I miss you so. I wish you could see the little girl who looks just like the little girl you were so proud of- hahah)

I have brought it back to life.
I doubt my 5 readers are even out there. Meh. I'll just get my sister to pass it along. This is the blog that not everyone can see. The darker side of me. Because some day's I am just not little miss sunshine. Ok so very few days I am little miss sunshine. FINE LYNN. I am the swamp creature.
