Got my Project Earth ticket and kicked ass on the placement test for school.
So psyched. I just hope Camp Cookieface can reunite for at least two days. It won't be the same without everyone. *hint hint*

Woo - Update!
Playing "Stay At Home Mom" is HARD. PJ and I hardly stay at home. LOL
The library is our new hang out. Which is awesome cuz it really cuts the costs of me buying more and more books. My normal checkout time is only two days, AND I don't have to wait for sequels to series to come out.
I was able to get Unemployment and we also had two months of EBT (food) benefits - but now I can't figure out what more information they want so we're cut off for now. I do admit navigating the State systems is a bit like a circus. I shall plod on though.
I've also picked up Crocheting again. Thanks to the power for YouTube my need for visual learning is satisfied and I can now crochet in a round AND make the dreaded Magic Ring. So far I've made at least 8 hats, two bags, one purse, and a Amigurumi pig (aka a doll made by crocheting). So wicked cool and it keeps me busy.
Emrick turned 8 a few days ago. We had a birthday party for him - his (and ours) first. It went smashingly well.
PJ is all signed up for Preschool in the fall. He'll be going 3 days a week. Also have signed him up for T-ball starting in June. Holy crap, I'm super domesticated now!!
My next goal is to really start cleaning out this apartment. I've even checked out books from the library on how to clean, declutter, and organize. Watch out for me!

Quickly Going More Insane
Having a hard time now. The boys are making me want to cry. They just won't leave me ALONE! It does sound funny now, but man, it's the truth.
Em's surgery went great. He was a real trooper, no fighting when they put him under either. He didn't like the taste that was left in his mouth tho after he woke up. So there was lots of crying and fits. He got over it.
I'm still waiting to hear from Unemployment. "They" said I should get an answer by the 20th. *crosses fingers and toes*
I actually submitted an application for the local tech college. What's wrong with me?? I even went so far as to apply for Student Loans! I still have to pay for the application fee for the school, so who knows when I'll have $$ to do that.
Right now I'm just sitting at Lauren's in the QUIET. She had to go off and get her kids from daycare, and I won't mind when they get back...cuz they're not MINE. *cackles*
Still have two more Christmas parties to look forward too. Hooray!

Status Update
Welp - how long has it been since I posted? Who cares, right? Here's a very slim run-down:
Uhhhh...
Had one Christmas canceled, was able to make it to the other two. The canceled one will take place on the 30th of this month.
Got fired on Dec. 31st. Happy Friggen New Year. Still waiting to hear if I'll get Unemployment or not.
Emrick is going to the Dentist this Wednesday. They're putting him under General Anesthesia since he won't let anyone/thing into his mouth. They'll clean his teeth, take x-rays, and fill the two cavities he has. Geez, almost sounds like what they have to do with cats and dogs. LOL We took a tour of the surgery center tonight and it went really really well.
That's all I can really think of right now. Since I have a bit more time on my hands I may just post more...for the two of you that read this.

Lovely dream, interrupted
I was having a wonderful dream early this morning when it was interrupted by a vomiting child. Thankfully, PJ is now old enough to know what's happening. So, I got him on the floor with a bowl. Most of it ended up in his bed. So I moved him to the living room, and Em into my side of the bed.
Now we are watching Over the Hedge and drinking coffee (well, just me on that one). Thinking about breakfast...and NOT thinking about breakfast.
Went to Lauren's on Friday night. Ro was up to get her car looked at. Us ladies went to Kahn's BBQ for dinner. Almost killed each other on the way there, like only sisters can. LOL - yeah, I can only laugh now that it's over. :) Got to play the new Wii Sports. Worth buying I do believe. Will have to purchase a new Wii though.
Yesterday, the boys and I went to New Richmond. Did laundry. Had Dairy Queen with Grandma. Had a nice game of Baseball going on with Grandma and Uncle Pete. The boys wanted to stay the night, but I did not. So we left around 7pm, hit Mickey D's for dinner, and wandered home.
Had to moved several children at once around 3am, but that was it until the Wake Up Call. He seems to be doing OK now - well, at least no fever and no complaining. I think I may have been phlegm-induced and not Flu Related. *crosses fingers*
Gonna go snuggle with the sicko and drink massive amounts of coffee.

It's been a while.
I've been more into writing. It's consumed me. :D
I'm, of course, in a bit of a funk now. As per my psyche. It's my own fault this time. Stupid me.
My cure-all would be to spend a day shopping at the MOA. REAL shopping, not window. But that won't happen any time soon. Hell, I can't even do it after tax return season this coming year. Again: My own fault.
Had some tragedies arise in the last couple of months. A close-close friend was admitted into the hospital for depression. Very scary time. I worry so much about this person. I wish I was closer. Just to reassure and give lots of hugs. I know they need them as much I do. I wish I could be strong enough for the both of us, then they wouldn't have to suffer. STUPID BRAIN AND ITS CHEMICAL IMBALANCES!
Also, a friend lost her 13 year old daughter in August. She had a genetic disorder and passed away after surgery to remove a benign tumor from her brain. I cannot even fathom the pain, heartache, and loss she's still going through. Her family is putting on a benefit for her next weekend. I'm hoping to make it down there.
I Finally have another friend that has children the same age as mine. (No offense to you that do not!!!) Her eldest boy is a half year older than than Em and half year younger than PJ, and they like the same things. Again, she's so far away. Damnit.
Went to the Ren Fest and State Fair this year. Had more fun at the Ren Fest. The State Fair is blah and there's just too many people. Pisses me off!! Of course this may be due to the fact that the same day we went was the same day Mike lost his job.
Mike was working for BostonScientific. It was awesome and he LOVED it. And then the asses at the temp service dropped him like a rock. Bastards! Anywho. So that's added some tension into the mix.
The boys are OK - physically. PJ is in super-psycho mode tho. He has to scream and hit everything and everyone. He's even picking on the cat! His new word is: Accident. So he claims that everything he does is one. *sigh*
Em started 2nd grade. And so far no "incidents". We've gotten him to actually swallow pills now, so I don't' have to plunk down $84 a month for a bottle of his meds (in liquid form). Now it's just $10. Very nice. He has a bit of a cold at the moment and I'm just waiting for a note to come home from school telling us to get him tested for the Swine Flu. LOL - which I actually think both the boys had it earlier this summer. I'm not worried.
Next weekend Carmen and her fiancee are coming up! I can't wait. I haven't seen her in at least 2 years, maybe more. Now if only I can see Jenny and Ali sometime soon, I'd be set. :(
And finally, per usual, I'm having self-esteem issues. This time it's mostly weight related. I know I'm up over my Do or Die limit. (As it: DO IT OR I'M GOING TO KILL MYSELF - not literally.) It's just so hard to find the TIME. Or the energy. Two small boys that wake up at the crack of dawn and go to bed when the rest of the World has been sleeping for 8 hours....I HAVE NO TIME! NO TIME! It's very frustrating. Add on top of that a husband who only thinks of himself, not even his CHILDREN first...it's a suicidal offense. I'm disgusting, everyone thinks I'm disgusting, and I won't be able to get what I want (really really REALLY want) until I do something about it. And, to my brain, apparently it doesn't matter. *punches brain* I've started to not go out anywhere or anyone. Usually I'm the one that makes the effort. I'm the one traveling to see friends or family. But I've stopped. Life is too embarrassing now.
Ho-hum. Blah blah blah. Buy a girdle and qwit-cher-bitchin' I know I know.
