"just another manic monday"

BECAUSE I CAN, bitches!
stayed up too late last nite....work today. no charger in car, battery on phone about dead. couldn't get hold of Kevin. (him and Katie were mowing and going to the dr. and inspecting vehicles. Katie has been driving pulling the lawn mower trailer. I've never pulled a trailer.)
I came home, got hold of Megan re: dresser, convinced KJ to gas up his truck and be my helper, we figured out where she lived (you know who was reading the directions wrong), picked up the dresser for $10. 2 drawers need fixed. I trust Kevin to do this for me when he has the time. there was another dresser on swap shop that I almost messaged on last night but didn't, wasn't listed on there today. I want to find one that is sturdy enough for KJ to move out with.
turned a/c back on.
saw BJ while KJ was getting gas...she said we should go bigfoot hunting together, she would do tree knocks and I could howl!

Happy Fathers Day!

Katie drove to Bethany, then Kevin took over. had a BBQ at Koren & Cody's....although he spent most of his day on call at work. gave Ian his bibbies. Kevin found the Knobbs Creek whiskey he was looking for. Koren made ribeyes, hotdogs, garlic bread, baked beans, cheesey broccoli pasta, grilled potatoes, Watergate salad and homemade peach cobbler. she is the best! Best of all, Kevin got to spend his day with his three kids and his grandson. can't have a better Fathers Day than that!

Random Things About Deb

I worry about burning alive in a house fire, getting my car swept off the road in a flood and drowning, and getting violently murdered and dumped somewhere. or dying on the way home from work.....if I have to die, let it be on the WAY TO work....
I never thought anyone would ever love me.
It is rare for me to look in a mirror and not criticize myself.
I still want to go to college but it is so impractical.
I seriously do not think I could live without Pepsi.
I feel compelled to sew.
I really thought I would somehow become a writer.
if I could start my own business, I would buy the old Arbucles building on the square and have a coffeeshop/bookstore/photography studio.
I hope my kids are better to me than I am to my own mom.
I'm pretty sure that I miss my dad way too much.
I love Kevin and if something would happen, don't think I would ever love anyone else like that again, or that I would even try. I would never trust anyone else with my kids or grandkids. (I have trust issues).
if I had cancer, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't fight to the bitter end if it was hopeless, I think I'd just try to enjoy what time I had left.
I am so glad I got to be a mom and a grandma!
I lip sync at church because my singing is so bad.
it is a relief to be done with Band Boosters and Fall Festival and almost done with Girl Scouts. I am just tired.
I cry at work a lot.
Kevin is the better person in our marriage.
I often think that every day I have to work now is payback for the few years in the beginning of our marriage where I didn't work.
I want to move to the French Quarter and be a quirky individual.
I wish I was born on the bayou.
I dread making meals for my family. I would rather live on ramen noodles. I am lazy and just a bad person. and I don't like to cook. aren't moms supposed to enjoy cooking for their families?
the house isn't clean enough.
why do I insist on keeping the dogs when the kids don't like them? they drive me nuts, too. but they are an obligation, just like kids. you take them on, you're in till the bitter end (or they run away or die.) I am a pet person.
I am bad with money.
I have so much trouble saying no.
I have never flown on an airplane. I may never fly on an airplane. I am terrified of heights.
my memory is going. I can't remember important things, but I can remember pictures I wanted to take on vacation that Kevin wouldn't stop for just because there was no safe place to pull off the road without taking the risk of our entire family dying a fiery violent death after being hit by a semi....
I don't believe in Heaven & Hell, but I do believe in Bigfoot, aliens, and ghosts.
I am so thankful for dTv and all my quirky shows....Mountain Monsters, Ghost Adventures, Swamp People, Finding Bigfoot, Swamp Murders, Sister Wives, My Five Wives, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo....
I think I sleep too much. I'm almost 50...how much time do I have left?
I worry that when Katie leaves home and Kevin or I switch shifts so we'll be home at the same time that we won't be able to survive it. we've worked opposite shifts forever.
there are so many vacations I want to take.....
it hurts what few feelings I have left that Katie is embarrassed by me....but I am a frazzled, frumpy, graying, wrinkling, weiner dog owning old gal. that is who I am.
if Kevin was cheating on me, I wouldn't want to know. ignorance is bliss. this has always been my motto.
I still dream of our little cabin in the woods....
I am so proud of my kids....I want so much for them! it is so important for them to have options in life!
I feel backed into a corner.
I love my wild curly hair!

"A week at the cabin" Katie's facebook vacation pics...

Saturday.

Kevin & Kate were supposed to mow Marie's yard...but it didn't need mowed, so he got mower to mow ours. ran out of gas....no gas can...that was some husband ingenuity. OMG! windy. massive yard work....Kevin trimmed trees, I dragged brush. he mowed off roadside iris bed. I worked on my "courtyard". got 2 pallets at Girdner's (free) for my pinterest patio bar project. now need flagstone.....Josh over, then the boys went to hang out with Danny. Kevin to work. Katie on date with Brocky...although her hair didn't curl right, her makeup wasn't right, she couldn't take a good selfie or find a cute outfit to wear...she was nervous, which made me nervous. and watching Swamp Murders when she left didn't help that any.....
exciting shit going on! have 2 baby tomatoes...wild blackberries, green apple and crab apple trees are loaded with apples...and of course the musical stylings of the 17 year locust...
