this entry is all over the place... my mind has been in a million different places lately!

Well, we are slowing crawling our way up from the hole we just got ourselves in. I'm happy to report that Monday, Tuesday and today were good days. Nothing big happening! Thank god. Monday the guys came to take pictures of the trailblazer and take it to the shop. As of yesterday afternoon they were still pulling it apart and had at that time given it an estimate of $4400... and they still had a little ways to go. Damn deer. Then that evening we went to Target and we used my birthday gift card (sniffle, sniffle) for groceries. (sorry kt... but just had to do it, I promise to take $50 as soon as I can afford to and blow it at Target). For the first time EVER we looked closely at what we were putting in our cart, how much it costs and the size. We were really trying hard to come in under the $50 total so we didn't have to dip into our checking account. We were SO proud of ourselves when it rang up at $44.10! Go us! Tuesday night my parents took us to the casino for dinner. Nothing better than the casino buffet! YUM. Then today went to work and came home for a quiet evening... which we really needed after these past few days. We had dinner, gave Ellie a bath, put her to bed then went outside to finish cleaning up the cut up tree trunks... we have my dad's truck since we are down a vehicle, so we took full advantage of that and loaded it up with pieces of the tree and all the brush and drove it back to the fire pit.

We have the movie Rendition to watch... anyone seen it? I think we are going to watch it tomorrow night. It is getting to late tonight... I must be ovulating because the entire middle section of my body, all around, it SO ACHEY. Almost feels like contractions! It's probably just worse this month due to the stress and lack of sleep I've been dealing with! I need to go to bed

Emailed Ellie's dr today... she is still on the acid reflux meds and we are going to continue them for another month or so... we are going to try a capsule this time... breaking it apart and putting it in a teaspoon of applesauce. Anyone have any other suggestion for getting a kid to take med's poured from a capsule into something???

I need to make an appt with my dermatologist. It is summer. I'm wearing less clothes. (scary I know). And I'm noticing more and more weird moles that I want checked/removed. I have had 2 removed so far... one being not cancer but stages before cancer... like if I would have ignored it it could have turned into that. I've been out in the sun alot this summer. I was supposed to go to my dr for a recheck like 2 years ago! Crap. It is just far away (Northfield, MN) and I have little time to take from work... suppose I can use sick time for it... will call this week. Promise.

I hate hate litter boxes. They stink.

I love seeing my flowers, that we planted this spring, start to bloom. They are so pretty and refreshing!

I'm reading a really good/weird book right now called The Shack.

I hate being broke.

I need a vacation.

I can't afford a vacation.

I want my car back.

My house is a mess.

Oh well. Tomorrow is another day.
