DE FOOT

i didn’t check my email yesterday-333 (so far) in my junk folder, WTH?! Oh yea recently asked why is there so much profanity in my online ’stuff’ but I dont really cuss that much IRL….BECAUSE I CANT cuss that much IRL-w/ 2 kids 1 who repeats anything she shouldnt so instead I get all my need for such foul language out on here. Profanity is the crutch of inarticulate motherfuckers. HA! I love that one….annnnyway I got my foot tattooed yesterday. OUCHIE, but not as bad as I was expecting. Dont get me wrong it hurt like a bitch but I’m really wanting my other one done now so you know it wasn’t that bad. It looks awsome too, lily was so amazed that she had to get her foot tattooed-so out came the sharpies. lol, ‘look mommy i got my foot tattooed like you’. so adorable. After I got home I put my foot up as per instructions, it got puffy later on last night. Gooped it this morning-tattoo goo just fyi and it’s happy. Yesterday I was up made breakfast and had gotten a shower, completely ready to walk out the door at 9am yesterday but my appt wasn’t till 11. I was so nervous from everyone who heard about my upcoming tattoo, ‘omg it’s going to hurt so bad, etc etc’. Ummmm….now jeff is antsy wanting a tattoo. but he’s going to wait a bit, I feel like that would be stretching funds to tight and nope that’s not allowed to happen. Most people choose to pay off debit and THEN build credit or vice versa but nooooo, i have to do it all at the same time in as little time as possible. I guess to make up for all the time and money we wasted instead of taking care of it before. It’s working well so far but we have to stick to our budget or else it’ll get screwed up like it has so many times before. I think one of the guys jeff got hired onto the company is about to loose his job. he’s been in the trade for 6 or so years and he’s pissed because jeff has only been doing it 2yrs but jeff is incharge. He thinks because of his ‘experiance’ the superviors should go to him and he should have the van and all that. But he KNEW when he was hired thats how things were going to be. Anyway today he didn’t come into work he hurt his back last night supposedly. I mean it’s very likely that he did-trip on his daughters toy and fall down the stairs even though it wasnt bad enough to go to the hospital-but he is ’sick’ 2 or 3 days a week. he goes to work but doesn’t work to what jeff and THE BOSS know hes capable. Kinda shitty but thats how things work sometimes. Jeffs parents are coming into town next week, we’re going to the zoo and such fun things w/ them. Lily is really excited, i’m nervous-I love ‘em both to death but usually the first day is kinda awkward, dont really know what to talk to them about. I’m sure once we move out closer to them that’ll go away as I spend more time with ‘em. I think in the soon to be 4 yrs we’ve been married I’ve spent a total of 3 wks with them? give or take a few days of course. I think we’re going to FL sometime this summer too-jeffs grandma has alzheimers, in the last year it’s gotten worse and he’s really scared he might not get a chance to see her again. She forgets lily’s name and age and usually doesn’t even remember we’ve had serenity. She’s such a sweetie and his grandpa too. I dunno I feel completely comfortable with them, it’s weird people close to my age or OLDER people I’m good around it’s that parent age kinda feel strange with. ok i gotta get back to my cleaning this was just a break to check the bank and post about my so much cuter foot. oh and an updated kids piggy bank balance as of this morning-$94.89

I really should keep up on my journals

I have an appointment this sunday for my late mothers day gift. I’m getting a tattoo on the top of my foot of a lily flower and a black figure sitting in a lotus position on the flower to represent both girls. Offically using bank of america, just since the beginning of the month I’ve ’saved’ 4.66 to be added to the girls savings account I have with the bank. It’s a pain in the butt because I have to cash jeffs checks at the old bank so we dont have a hold on the money. Oh well I still have the xmas club there so I can just make a deposit to that fund when I cash it. 1st bank is only a mile from bank of america anyway so it’s not such a big inconvenience. We tried to take the girls to the george washington national forest on sunday but the rain put a hold on that. we did make it to mountain mystic trading in front royal. we havent been there since before the girls were born, amazing-or not so amazing the man working remembered us. The car has been doing fairly well-has the occassional hiccup, but overal still running. Had some serious badness on tuesday when serenitys doc appointment was. It was having issues staying running and just as I was about to give up and call to say we couldn’t make it I thought-one more time and ta da worked out fine. Poor jeffie has worked 60hrs this week including today. He’s gotten to the point of leading jobs where he does a lot of driving though so it’s not so physically demanding. he complains about having to get into the work then stop go somewhere take care of something and head back to another site and get back into the work, but i do think he’s enjoying having his own van, and being a lead man. He was recommended for a $2 raise so hopefully in the next month he’ll be getting 14.50 an hour and then of course another one once he gets the journeymans license-that’ll be almost a year off though. He’s working hard, being a great husband…we both need to work on spending more *quality* time with the girls. They get plenty of attention but not the kind I want them to have. I think we need more FAMILY art evenings, and outdoor trips-like to the forest-more walking through town, museums, etc. Jeff has been so focused on work, school, and the kids that he’s neglected his art so i’m going to have to get on him about that. Sometimes I feel like quiite the b*tch because I have to keep on him with the complaining and such. He and I both know it’s just to make sure things run smooth with our life and i’m doing whats best. Example, he has his own debit card for the bank acct now. Not 2 years ago there is no way I would’ve let him do this because I didn’t trust his maturity to handle the responsability and fully expected him to just buy stuff and end up overdrawing the acct. He has a better understanding and acceptance of what has to be done to get what we want later in life. He’s grown up so much since the girls have been born. HAHA I was going to try and surprise him with star wars books for xmas but because of my hate for anything remotely a lie or witholding information I couldn’t keep it in-I felt horrible, like I was lying to him because really to get these books I’d have to spend money and then to keep it a surprise I’d have to lie about where the money went so yea out it came which he’s excited about of course. I had to go drive the car around last night-just to be sure it’s still running smooth for sunday when I go to winchester for the tattoo. There is no way I want to miss the appt so I’m all nervous about the car screwing up. I’ve wanted this tattoo for awhile and now it’s set and all-I’d better get it done. Oh yea jeff learned what happens when you try to cram for tests and get exams doen quick-your grade drops. He did 3 books and 3 exams in 2 days got 95.92. and 80 -these arent bad grades really but he wants to keep his average high (doubt the average matters, so long as you pass u can take that journeymans exam) it’s a personal goal. also squeaker is sitting up on her own for short periods of time-then falls over LOL but shes trying and her hand is getting better too. she still wont put it on the floor to crawl but it’ll be better soon, babies heal quick and the doc didn’t get crazed about it.
