School, TV Shows, Brother and Work
Kailee's last day of school was on Friday. Now all of my days are running together. I have no clue what day it is now that she is always home. She isn't driving me nuts yet. Yet being the key word there. I think she is happy to have a break. She is still asking about kindergarden. She thinks it is right around the corner. I think maybe this weekend or the end of the week I will let her call her best friends from school. Maybe I can talk to their mom and set up a playdate. Since I know no one and she will have no one to play with, I doubt she will want to stay in the house and hang around with me until September. Yes I avoid the sun. It is not a friend to me. Neither is the heat. When you have a bunch of fat....well it doesn't help in the summer to say it nicely. ~laughs~
Other than that I have been watching summer shows. I think this is the first summer that I have had this many shows to watch. TV viewing is getting better.
Sunday nights ~ 4400 ~ Dead Zone ~ Missing (which I tape since it is on the same time as Dead Zone)
Have to say Sunday night on USA is what makes my week. Can't wait for it.
Mondays ~ Summerland ~ I started watching this last summer. I am not a die hard fan. Just something to fill some time. I don't mind if I miss it or not.
Tuesdays ~ Rescue Me ~ Empire
Rescue Me is a good show. Part of FX's line of pushing the limits of network TV. Got to love that.
Empire is a miniseries on anicent Rome. Good stuff!
Wednesdays ~ The Inside ~ 30 Days
The Inside is a cop show. FBI to be more exact. Extereme cases or what not. It is alright.
30 Days is pretty neat. A show that puts you in someone else's shoes. Not reality TV and not a documentary. Makes you take a real look into other people's lives. I think it is only six episodes though. I hope they continue with it.
Friday or Saturday ~ Into the West ~ I normally watch it on Saturdays. I have always been interested in the time period and Native Americans. I guess that is because I have a tiny....and I do mean tiny part Native Amaerican in me (Cherokee and Blackfoot) and I always wondered if something similiar to the show is what it was like for my ancestors.
One thing that I was mad about was that Nip/Tuck isn't coming on until September. I found it last summer when it was in its second season and I was hooked. Watched it from the very beginning when they played the reruns in order. It was left as a huge cliff-hanger. Someone's life being on the line. I have waited so long for it. Only to find out that they have moved it to September. That is basically a whole year with no new episodes. I am pissed at them for that. I read an article that the creator/head writer is leaving the show....or trying to. And I guess it is causing some problems. Still that doesn't make the situation any better.
In other news, I found out that my brother got into some more trouble with the law. In the past he smashed in someone's car windshield and had fines and community service. He did it again and was now placed on probation, which he isn't following. Instead of trying to work it out he is looking to move so when the warrant for his arrest comes out they won't find him. He calmly said, "in 7-10 years they can no longer act on it." I had to fight the urge to lecture him. I know he hears it from everyone else in the family. I have tried to step back as the "mother figure" in the last couple years. He never listened to me before so why continue to be that person. I would much rather be someone he can talk to than hold back from. In fact he told me about his move and he hasn't told anyone else yet. He will be moving with his girlfriend of a couple months, who is a stripper. I talked to her on the phone when he called a couple days ago. She seems nice. One of the first times I have ever talked to any of his girlfriends....ever. He got fired from his temp job cause he called off too many times. Now he is working as a back-up bartender. I just worry about him a lot. I wish he could grow up and get his life together.
Not much else to report. My life is boring. Though John did hand over a job to me today. He has been working on ebay a lot. Doing a shitload of listings and such. With the real estate he hands over the duties to others. With ebay he has trouble delegating. I have offered to help countless times. He finally got so over-whelmed that he gave me back the duty of emailing out the tracking numbers. I sat here for almost three hours getting all of them out. Three different sites for products. Now that I am in charge of that there is no way I will let it get that backed up again. I wish he would have asked me earlier. He has been exhausted cause all he does is eat, sleep and work....seven days a week. He really needs a break.
