I'm better
Well my bad mood went away last night.. once Gail got home and I gave him attitude until he looked really concerned/sad.. then I felt bad and it got better from there. lol
He apologized about the clothing in the middle of the floor..but I didn't bring up the fact that he left when WE had company to go hunting. I'll wait until he invites a couple over and then I'll leave to go do something I enjoy. I know that's probably really petty, but it's the only way I know to get my point across without a fight.
Supposed to get my new tattoo tonight..I want to be excited but I know better..since he keeps putting it off. So, thinking why would today be any different, right? We'll see.. if I get it then yay and I'll post a pic. It's nothing major and will likely only take 15 minutes to get done..which is great considering I sat for over 8 hours for my last one! My fear with the new one is that it's going to really hurt since it's going on my wrist. After my last one that went down close to my ankle I had to rethink getting one on my foot.. cause man it was tender. Now.. I've got 7 tattoos..and none of them really hurt much.. each had their moments..but all in all none of them were like..holy shit you gotta stop type pain..but I psyche myself up before..for sure. BUT..all that said. I'm REALLY good at just kinda going to that happy place and using that with meditative breathing to get through. I was told after completing my last (8+ hours) tattoo that I am the perfect client for getting a tattoo cause I sit there completely still..don't ask for breaks and just zone out. I was like..yay. haha So... after all that rambling, I just want to get this damn tattoo so I can pick my next one. lol :)
I'm sleeping better, but not without the benadryl. I still can't believe that a doctor suggested I use benadryl as a sleep aid as apposed to putting me on sleeping pills. but, hey.
I'm next door at my neighbors house, babysitting Bella..she'll be 2 in Dec. and she's so precious and sweet and super easy to watch. It gives me some spending money, so it's nice. I think I'll start getting my nails done again, it's something I really enjoy..
So..we're in the process of doing a wedding for Oct 23. For a friend..so we're not making any profits, but it's a good chance for me to train Nikki on how to do the things that she'll need to know. Not to mention that the bride works with and knows a lot of people and the power of word of mouth it enormous. So.. we'll take pics and use them for portfolio/ad purposes. It's a smaller sized wedding so we're doing a bridal bouquet, 3 bridesmaids, 2 corsages and 6 boutonniere's. We're also helping with the alter and table decor and a few small odds and ends. It'll be a good learning experience for Nikki without being overwhelming.
I've got a million things going on..lol. I've decided that I want to do a bake sale for pediatric cancer. It's been on tv lately.. it's the one with the glad containers. cookies for kids cancer So, I'm in the process of doing everything to schedule that. It's something that's really close to my heart with everything I went through with Hayden and being so worried that it was going to turn out to be leukemia as the dr. had feared. Fortunately for me it wasn't..but it really hurts my heart that there ARE parents that have to deal with that..and then there are the children who are in pain and dealing with all of that when they should just be kids. So, I'm getting ahold of Walmart to see if I can have it there, since there is so much traffic there on the weekends, I think it would be a great opportunity to raise a lot of money for those kids! Obviously I'll be baking, Nikki, Tasha, Olivia, Jineene and possibly a few others. I plan to contact the local news as well as the local radio stations to get it out there. I'm going to advertise with flyers, Craigslist and local tv programming(in addition to the radio and tv). I'm excited!!
The first weekend of October I'm having a yard sale, getting the storage unit cleaned out of all the crap I simply do not need anymore. If it's been in those boxes all this time unless it's pictures I don't need it. We're going to sell the pool table too..and turn the room back into more of a family room again. We enjoyed it more when we had furniture down there and could just relax with a fire in the fireplace (winter obviously) and watch tv or whatever..and there's no room for any of that WITH the pool table in there, and we rarely use it these days anyway.
Tomorrow Hayden and I have to go to the school for him to pick and instrument for school band. He's narrowed it down to 3, the clarinet, the violin and the drums. So.. tomorrow he'll get to try each of the three and see which he likes best and then we'll rent that instrument. If he decides he wants something different they do free exchange(if the rental price is the same) and all three are in the same rental price range. So, we're going to have some squawking, some screeching or some banging going on in the house.. yay :/ I played tried to play the clarinet when I was in school. I'm excited for him tho, cause it's a fun learning experience if it's something you really like to play. I personally think he'd enjoy the drums the most..but it's ALL his decision. The following week is his orientation. I'm not too concerned with it since his teacher is still off on maternity leave so it'll just be his sub. I'm hoping when his teacher returns that she'll make arrangements to meet with everyone.
I'm feeling better from the bronchitis, still have that nasty/annoying cough tho..Bleh!
ok..well you're all updated, lol.
