Twinkle twinkle little star...
I've got the the blues. Not the real blues, I'm way too medicated for that. Just the kind that makes you want to sing a little. I have a rip roaring migraine, and though it is also medicated I can still feel it "lurking underneath". Why am I on here? I probably shouldn't be, the computer always makes my migraine worse but I don't want to clean anything nor do I want to go to sleep just yet. I overdid it today, it was too hot and I pushed myself too far. I mowed the front lawn and then cleaned out the pool. We have one of those 18 foot round pools and I had to finally bite the bullet and just empty it out and start all over again. I hate wasting that much water but what good is a pool if you don't want to go in it (because of the cloudy water). I bleached the hell out of it but just couldn't get rid of the cloudiness.
So my husband is in Iraq. He is stationed in Habbaniyah, a camp somewhere in the desert. He's called a couple of times and sent me his email address the other day. He has to use a calling card to call me so I don't know how often we will get to talk over the next 7 months. The Navy fucked up our pay. He put in for DLA (which he should have done last year when he moved home from San Diego), it was supposed to be deposited in our account 2 weeks ago and yet it still isn't here. I am so royally screwed if that money doesn't come soon. The base is giving me mucho grief and won't tell me anything about it despite the fact I have a Power of Attorney. Apparently it isn't the right kind of Power of Attorney. I swear they go out of their way to find a reason to not help you. I don't know if they hire the most irritatingly unhelpful people they can find or if its just something the job does to them. So I'm dirt poor, like not paying my electric bill poor, but waiting on a nice $1,200 check that should have been here 2 weeks ago. ARG!
My back porch looks like a freaking prison. Our damn Lab can't stand to be outside by herself so she RIPS the screen down from the enclosed porch. I don't know why, she never jumps through the hole she creates. I guess its just to prove a point she rips down the screen. So I had to switch to aluminum screen AND put up plastic coated chicken wire. Now I've had the plastic coated chicken wire along the bottom of the patio for years but now its around the top part too. I hate the way it looks but I'm sick of replacing the screen every other day (not to mention its expensive).
So I'm supposed to see an endocrinologist to see why the hell I'm infertile and fat. Four different doctors say I fit every symptoms of a malfunctioning thyroid and yet the tests come back normal. This latest doctor thinks it might be my thyroid and a hormone problem. I know I don't eat like a should but there is no reason I'm still big as a house. Today I had a small bowl of cereal for breakfast, 3 small pieces of pizza from a personal size pizza, and 3 cups of popcorn for dinner. Oh and a tootsie roll, can't forget that. It was a midget one but still.
Emmy peeked in at me yesterday at a public restroom. Looked right through the keyhole. Saw me changing some womanly product and asked what was wrong with me. I didn't know what to say. How could I explain it to a 6 year old without getting into too much detail. So I said "Well you know how Charlotte (our lab) goes into heat? And you know how I have to put a diaper on her if she is in the house? Well, Mommies go into heat too." :p Karl asked what I am going to do if she tells a stranger "My Mommy is in heat". (Which is not out of the realm of possibility since she is always telling strangers inappropriate private things about our family). I said I would just say "Oh thats how she says I'm hot." :D God that kid is so funny. I made her try a bite of my carrot and raisin salad from Chick-fil-a (and in all honesty I didn't really like it either) and she made the most horrible face and spit out every molecule of it into a napkin. And then she says "That was just...just...horrifying!" Hehehe
Well, ok, its 11pm so I don't feel too much like an old lady if I hit the sack now. My excedrin migraine medicine usually gives me a total caffeine rush but I'm not feeling that so much tonight. I think I could easy go to sleep right now...
