kevin hauled a bunch of stuff out of garage today to store while I was at work, GRM guys pulled in after me to mark phone lines, etc.
got my best evaluation ever, but heard once again the new manager that starts next week is a firing boss, Todd has a spot at one of his barns if I want it...don't know....(sigh)
took Katie to Kasen's for a bonfire/sleepover, came home to sort thru stuff left in garage, filled 2 trashcans, and made a pile of stuff to go into storage. found a handwritten diary in a Garfield notebook...so will type that puppy up for posterity, editing out the gruesome stuff (I'm sure it's in there, folks, when I bitch, I spare no detail!)
KJ called to see if I'd noticed the bill he'd emailed from school....just gave us a $90 refund, and now he has a $50 bill due June 15th....he got moved back into Tower Suites and tonite is game nite at 8:00...

10-26-95 kids & I "helped" Kevin load and cut wood to sell after I'd worked 5a.m.-3:30p.m. Mischief came along, & I let Snoball off his chain for a romp, too. Truck to Willis' clutch won't work. Wade 3
10-27 truck back, they fixed it for free Wade 4 bled line
10-28 Scooby Doo 25 hour marathon on Cartoon Network started 4a.m. Wade 3. Koren now collecting Goo-flump bks by RU. Slime. Why don't I get ideas like that? (it'd sure as hell get me out of the hogbarn and on my ass in front of the S.D. Marathon where I belong! Walmart..
10-29 daylight savings time began 2a.m. Koren on phone repeatedly with Ashley &" Jessica trying to decide who's going trick or treating with who-home a little after 2-nice to be back at a normal barn again. KJ fell asleep on couch 7p.m. crying because I turned off Scooby Doo Ghoul School tape to watch the Simpson's Halloween Special. I've lost interest in my old passions: Clint Eastwood, One Life to Live (used to be if I missed an episode in the days before we had a VCR, I'd call everyone to find out what happened, or call the daily #) , listening to the radio, cooking, even losing interest in Home Interior & Mary Moo-Moos. plan to paint cow kickers for kitchen (and now it's 2013 and never did do that!)& want to collect gargoyles now (didn't ever do that one, either ) also want to plant climbing roses & get Koren's room painted this summer and redone with a horse theme. I've also qauite taping all my old fave movies that I really don't like anymore. I'm getting too squeamish for scary movies and too fat to weat tight jeans, too tired to stay up after KJ goes to bed, and too tired to keep my ass awake in the AM when he's asleep. I'm too lazy to clip and use coupons. HAVE planted various spring/summer bulbs and daisies, ordered tropical fish eggs to hatch, got my xmas shopping well underway, joined Axosm Association of America. NEED TO get a leash and start walking Snoball, read to KJ more, buy healthier food, take Koren out to see Blaze 2-3x/wk. OBSERVATION: it's hard to be creative in the kitchen when no one in your family will try anything new. I want to meet someone that can make all those weird recipes in magazines without having to freeze the leftovers for them to eat themselves & make PB&J sandwiches all around.
10-30 stool not working correctly, Kevin & I have both dinked with it. Rain. Halloween parade in gym-Koren pissed because I was running late and couldn't find her cat Lucky & and another girl had HER cat...she wore her new lipstick, too. School conf-Miss Moore is very pleased with Koren-saw Horses-Pizza Hut trailer-made toasted pumpkin seeds-going to start a Playmobile western collection for KJ as the rest of his xmas present.
HALLOWEEN drizzle, KJ running up temp since early AM, Koren top molar still hanging on by a thread, Fingerhut called with great gift idea. Kevin took day off and put in a new stool---still not quite right but much better. took Jessica trick or treating with us-KJ conked out after 3rd house. Koren lost tooth at school after I'd made dentist appt.
