Nudged
I got a nudge from apeystar so I figured I'd do a long overdue update. It's been a while since I've written in this thing but lj kinda goes in spurts for me. I read posts everyday but I just don't like to post unless I feel like I've got something substantial to say, I don't now but I guess I'll ramble a little.
I'm lovin the new house. It's so nice to live in a place that makes you want to invite people over or atleast not embarrassed when they do show up. Plus Greg can't smoke in her as per the rental agreement so finally my house smells like absolutely nothing unstead of stale newports.
All 5 of us have been passing the flu back and forth between us. It's always worse for the kids but when I finally got sick everyone else was fine and they still expected me to cook, clean, and everything else. When I'm sick is about the only time I really miss being a kid, atlest then I had my own mother to clean up my vomit and make me chicken soup.
I can't wait till income tax time. I always look forward to it but this year I plan to buy a truck with some of ou money. My problem is that we've got this old Jeep. It's a '93 and has already had the engine replaced once and the miles just continue to creep up. Sometimes I feel like Al Bundy from Married with Children with his old Dodge all excited when he got enough miles for the odometer to roll back over and start again. The stupid old thing shakes and rattles down the road and the damn radio doesn't work. I could deal with just about anything except no radio, that drives me nuts. And my frickin husband feels like he's too good to drive the damn Jeep so he drives the Lumina around trashing it. That fucking car is supposed to be mine, it's in my name, it was bought for me by my grandparents, and we nearly got divorced over it when I first got it cause I did it without clearing it with him first.
But now it's actually a battle for me to get to drive it since he feels that he shouldn't have to drive the Jeep for his own selfish reasons. Anyway I've given up fighting over the Lumina with him and told him that as soon as that tax check is in hand we will be going up to buy some sort of older used truck. At this point I don't care if there's holes in the floor boards and it has to be driven like a Flinstone car as long as the radio works.
