Playdates,frigid, stupidity
Holy toledo was it cold today, much much worse than yesterday. I hate being cooped up in this house, I enjoy going and puttering around doing something. Of course I spend money on things I really don't need and usually I don't have any extra money. Today the girls went to some friends from school, the mom is really nice and exchanges playdates every so often which is more than I can say about the average mom I know. They have a beautiful old victorian type house, it has been remodeled but they still have the old hardwood floors in good shape. I tried to convince her to show me the basement but she was horrified that someone wanted to go down there. Shit we all have cobwebs and clutter down there so not a big deal to me. Maybe I have a obsession with the old houses, maybe someday she'll show me around. Oh and of course they did cancel school again today so we have had a nice break this week. I wonder if the school makes the kids make up these days at the end of the year, that would probably change my tune if I knew that. I did nothing of excitement while the girls were gone, took a half hour nap and laid in the sun watching tv. Shame on me I know but it felt so good to be able to nap and worry about what the kids are doing, usually you have to sleep half assed with one ear open for trouble.
I love the old abandoned houses I've been looking at along with a great many other people, I seen one today that they said was for sale so I asked how much it was. Oh my god are people crazy.. for a house that's ready to fall down with 17 acres they wanted $329,000. That's crazy, I thought perhaps maybe around $100,000 due to the land. I guess that's why it's still for sale. Maybe our state is really cheap compared to others around the states.
The animals today were not happy to have to go outside, I had to make all of the dogs go out. After about 5 minutes they were holding paws up due to the cold, I'd hate to be a dog. I sure feel sorry for all those tied out dogs that people tend to ignore, what a happy life...sigh.
I am really in a disgruntled mood, I was talking to a friend and she asked if I got the newsletter from the animal shelter here in town. I did not get it so I called there and asked the manager how come I don't get it, she asked me if I donated to the shelter. I do bring catlitter up around christmas time every year which I told her and she said "oh you don't do money?" So basically because I don't do money they won't send me the newsletter.. Not impresses since I've adopted 3 cats and a dog from the shelter over the years but I guess that doesn't count. I know I shouldn't be so petty but that really annoys me, they should send it out anyways just to keep people informed about animal health and other important things. Tomorrow the family and me are going to another animal shelter that has moved it's location, my husband insists on going with me so I don't come home with another animal. I'm pretty sure I am in control of that since I have 5 animals in the house already. I just want to see the new shelter and I'm good at talking people into adopting animals. I hate the way people walk into the shelter bringing puppies and kittens like they are a gift, little do they know that most of them get euthanized due to peoples stupidity. Sigh.. It's a war that will never be won and I know that you can't save them all but so much of the over population could be reduced if people would use their heads. Anyways..
The husband rented two movies tonight, has he ever tried to watch a movie with the girls in the house?? I doubt I'll make it thru one more or less two and I've never heard of one of them. We were invited over to some friends house but then he came home with the movies so we decided to stay home instead. The friends kid is a bossy little thing so I don't care if we go or not, I get sick of the constant bully attitude.
