Strummin Along To The Tune of Life

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO WHAT A RIDE!"

Babble from the Humble House of insanity

I just downloaded Rains Garth set she got for Christmas. It is awesome. The Dance is my favorite. On this Cd the crowd sings with him. Now how exciting that has to be, thousands of people knowing your song! Funny thing is I am not a big country fan! I like all kinds of music right down to classical. I like a variety.
All depends on my mood, God knows that can change at the drop of a hat!
I like typing to music, it helps my flow across the keyboard. So if I have to type say a letter, I like music to type too that helps me flow, hey Baton Rouge is flowing purty good right now! I will have to keep that number in my mind for a future typing frenzy!
It has been pretty quiet here today. CT has been in alot of pain today so he's been sleeping pretty much for the whole entire day. I just let him sleep. Nothing more I can do for him.
Rain was at a friends babysitting, Son was working, so it was me & the beast. Even they were pretty much quiet today. I think the weather being rainy & cold was alot of it.
I looked out into the yard today, and man... yuck yuck! All the snow has melted leaving a mucky ugly mess. The yard is full of shreds of wood and stuff from where we tore the bathroom out and threw all the stuff outside. Now that the snow has melted and the piles are gone, left behind are the little pieces of stuff that just add to the yuk muck.
I can't wait for spring to come and the grass to grow. I will have to wait for the mud to freeze up a lil bit and go out and try and pick up all that crap. Otherwise the lawn mower will catch it all and that is about a dangerous mix, wood shards being thrusted out into the yard. I don't think I want any splinters! I rem back when the kids were lil ones, and we were out in the yard and their Dad was cutting grass and a rock flew out and hit me in the back of the leg and cut me. That was the last time I ever let the kids be out when the mower was being used! I mean they were far enough away that I thought they'd be safe, I never dreamed a rock would fly that far!
I yell at Son when I am out and he comes around the house with the mower to let me get in the house! I am a chicken!
I got a little of this and a little of that accomplished today. It was hard making myself keep motivated. It is not my best quality in the middle of the day. I am a night owl. I like cleaning at night. Like right before bed I like to clean my room real good and then I get into bed and it feels so good knowing the room is all clean! Ok I am weird!
I am almost wishing I could go back to midnights. I love them. You come home, kids are in school, you sleep, then get up about 2 pm fix dinner, and have the rest of the evening to be with the kids. You never miss an event. It is great, and it is more money. My boss says no that she wants me in the admissions dept that she isn't going to waste me in the ER dept. Hmph, she doesn't seem to mind "wasting " me on the weekends!
I keep trying to find something closer to home being I have a transportation dilemma. There are no jobs in this town. It is ridiculous. I can't lose my pay & benefits. I think this town should be voted, the town least likely to advance into the present with the rest of the country! Oh God if you mention advancement, developement, the old fogies scream! But... there's more gambilng joints being added everyday, and that is A ok! Weirdo's! They have added a gamblin joint in the freakin laundromat , bakery, glass house showroom, for cryin out loud! Crazy! There are about 20 places that I can count in my head!
Well off to another place. Good day.

    Its gotta be hard to live somewhere and not be able to work close by due to no jobs. I bet the driving to work gets old at times.

    Oh I love the dance. It reminds me so much of a young friend who passed away from Cancer at the age of 29 years. That was the song playing through her headset when she finally went. Sad I know but now that memory will be forever tied to that song.
    You have a nice journal and I love the gown you made.
