Ramblings of a middle age woman

well it is Friday afternoon.
The job was long today and boring and hot.
I listened to my tunes while I washed walls today.
Kind of boring but it needed to be done since the little stinkers can’t seem to keep their dirty hands off of the walls.

Have half of this hallway done and will finish the other half on Monday

We are making great progress and will have it all done in plenty of time.
Which is good considering I was worried when the summer started.

Off to the fair and Billy Currington.

Have a great weekend!!!

tonight I have been home alone.
no one is here but me, the cat and dogs.
It is a good feeling even if I’m not doing anything productive.
I should start laundry but probably won’t.
I have been trying to write but it is slowly leaving me.
I even tried on my dress for the wedding.
gosh I need to lose weight.
my goal was to lose twenty pounds before the wedding and I haven’t lost a pound.
ugh.
so frustrating.
of course working the second job and having access to all that food hasn’t helped one bit.
Don’t I always make excuses???
Let’s face it Marge you are just lazy!!!!
Unfortunately how true is that.
But I’m happy with the exception of being fifty pounds heavier then I want to be….so that is something right????

My sister has to work a twelve hour night tonight.
She should be at work now.
I feel bad for her.
Hopefully she will email.
It stinks that she doesn’t have Internet.
poor girl has to work for the next five nights straight I believe, working twelve hour shifts.
or maybe she only has to work eight on Monday and Tuesday?
I can’t remember

anyway…..it looks like it might rain all though I don’t think we are suppose to get any until tomorrow.
ho hum ho hum

well happy weekend to one and all.
Not sure how much I will be on the next few days with the fair going on and us being busy with that and my working mornings at the second job.

well here we are almost to the end of another work week.
amazing how quickly it all goes….

just flies by.
we have gotten a lot done at work…..which is always a good feeling.
Four weeks from Monday is when School starts.

I am going to have to get more hours at the second job because something keeps coming up and I can’t seem to be able to make ends meet any more.
So frustrating.
I love having the nights off Monday through Friday but….I need the money….so what else can I do?

work more hours.

Anyway this weekend is the fair but other then that, besides working I have no plans.

another day at the job.
Hump day, if that matters to anyone.
Not me since I work weekends.

work was very busy working on the temps and I’m happy to say that is done.

all seven of them!!!!
Although I was working in air conditioning and now I’m not since I got all of them done.
Kind of a strange thing to have to adjust back to, heat and humidity.
But….guess I have to since the school is not air conditioned.

the West Liberty fair is on this week and my husband and oldest son are going to go.
I HOPE to have a quiet night at home.
IF none of my daughter in laws stop over that is.
HOPE HOPE HOPE!!!
I love visiting with them but I’m looking forward to writing and don’t want to be disturbed.
However if one of them happen to come over, I guess I will deal  with it.

I have showered and am ready for my husband to go so I can get down to some writing.

Happy Wednesday everyone!!!!

it was a busy day at work today.
Amazingly so.
We moved two teachers and that meant being out in the heat off and on for four hours while we moved these two teachers.
ugh.
So glad that is over with.

The kids came over tonight.
The grand girls were running around playing together.
Keira was adorable as always.

A little over two weeks until the wedding.
So much to do….and never enough money to do it with.
I don’t have a clue what I’m going to get them for a wedding present…but come to think of it I didn’t get Matt and Crystal anything after spending seven hundred on their wedding.
The food is already at $610 and I have to do drinks yet besides the food.
And baked beans and potato salad….so that will probably be close to $700 when all is said and done.

Got the girls room back in order after my sister moved out.
hope she likes her place well enough and is happy there.

Well I feel like it should be time for bed and it is only eight pm
BUT I didn’t sleep well last night so….I suppose that is why I feel so tired tonight.

Anyway I hope everyone had a good Tuesday.
Talk soon.

I went out to lay in the sun.

Normally I can be out there and enjoy it for four or five hours (okay, yes it is too long for anyone) but today I was out there a mere two hours and got so sick I almost passed out.
I literally drug myself inside, took off my bathing suit, wrapped a towel around me and went to bed and passed out.
I have never had that happen to me before.

Okay yes I use to faint when I was a teenager but we are talking thirty years ago!!!!

This was bad.
I slept for nearly an hour, with a fan on me cooling down my body.
Yes the sun is intense
My sister asked if I was drinking ice water.
Why yes I was, don’t normal people drink ice water when they are hot?
She said that down in Florida construction workers would pass out being in the hot sun and drinking ice water.
it does something to the body.
NOW that I know that…..I won’t drink such cold ice water any more when I’m outside.
Weird, very strange to me,  that I would get this bad reaction but….guess my day of sun bathing today is over…..

and look on the bright side, I learned something today!!!!

okay so I don’t have a lot of days off.
I took today as a vacation day because simply….I’m tired of working.
Yes I had the 4th of July off but we had a house full of people and I didn’t get a lot of relaxing done that day.
So today I’m a bum.
I’m going to soak up some rays and read and just relax.
Tomorrow will be here soon enough and I have a lot of stuff still left to do at work.
seems never ending but…it is coming to an end.
I do think five weeks from today school starts.

not so sure I’m ready for it emotionally but…guess I don’t have a choice.

Until we sell the other house I am stuck at the school.
NO IF’s AND’s or But’s about it.
Just stuck.

So anyway the warm sunshine is calling to me and I think I’m going to go answer.

Ever been in a relationship with someone and you know deep inside of yourself that this person isn’t good for you?
Ever wondered how you could care for someone who just brings you down instead of lifting you up like they should?
Ever think it would be impossible to cut them out of your life and yet you know you have to ….for your own sanity?

ever wonder if you are crazy?

learning to let go is incredibly hard yet necessary……

even when you feel like a huge piece of yourself is missing once they are gone……

funny I watched the rest of this movie “The River Wild” and found out that it was filmed in Montana, Canada and Massachusetts

Not Colorado.
Just goes to show you what I know.

the annual West liberty fair parade came to town today.
It seems to become less entertaining each year but maybe it is just me getting older?
but this is the time of summer when the fair hits our little town and with it it brings hundreds of people around the surrounding communities to our little town.
We go every year mainly for the singers who come to entertain us….My husband likes the races, as does my oldest son.
They both like the tractor pull too…..so….they get a bit more enjoyment out of it then I do.
However it is our yearly tradition so……we will experience it….

of course once the fair leaves town then before we even remember to blink….summer is over and school starts…..
