Well I can remember being at this point before. It has been a few years now, but I understand what's happening. I'm burnt out again. I knew it was going to happen, but I didn't know it would hit all at once. I got 10 hours of sleep and only got up once cause I was hoping it was snowing and not raining. lol So I should be refreshed right? Nope, big black bags under my eyes and no energy.
Lots of little stuff has gone down this week and none of it was very big or life threatening. But I just can't deal with any of it right now. I think last night was the final straw when I had to leave work early cause the kids had been home for too long alone.
Well it's off to work again right now. I have tomorrow off thankfully. I didn't get to write all I wanted, so I'll revisit this later tonight. I do have some things in the works to make a change, but that will mean some stress while we pay bills during the transition. :(
I'M SO BURNT OUT!!!
REVISITING:
Well I did a full 12 hours at work yesterday. Hmmm, any wonder why I'm burnt out? No, there is no wondering. I know and am just waiting for the transition to come full circle. Yesterday sucked and I didn't get back on here. I didn't even have the energy to watch tv and we know that is a sad state of affairs when that happens.
But I hate to leave focus on negatives, so I'll tell the happy story of coming home last night. Everyone was asleep of course by the time I got home and I was throwing a pity party in my head. :) I'm good at those if you ever need ideas. I get towards the front door and see that they put the Christmas wreath up, but notice that there's no ribbon on it. Odd, but thought maybe it looked like crap so they took it off. Nope, I totally forgot that hubby ordered a wreath and centerpiece from a friends kid. So I stood there with my face buried in the evergreens. It was heavenly. Brought tears to my eyes and was exactly what I needed to finish off the night in a better state of mind. Enough about yesterday, I'm going to start a new post about today!

SNOW!
Man oh man do I want to be on the mountain. We drove over yesterday and the pass was full of snow with only one of the resorts open. But our fav. resort www.skicrystal.com has been open for over a week now. They got over 69" in the last week alone! AHHHHH, me want to be there.
It even snowed here this morning. It's very wet and will be gone by mid day if even that cause the kids are playing with it all. lol But it's crazy that we've gotten a dusting this early. It's supposed to be a great season and this just may be proof.
I'm sure they are right about it being a hard core season. Hubby won't be going since eh may be on probation for his new job. It's taken him 5 years to get hired on and the last thing we want is for him to get an injury playing. I'm going to have to take the kids up by myself this year. :( Won't be as much fun, but we'll make it work. I just gotta find a friend to go with me. lol I don't know any other women that board or that will get up as early as we do so we can be first. Stupid girls!

Where'd today go?
Well I've done a lot of nothing today, but I've been really good at it. I made breakfast, for myself. Kids were gone and hubby didn't want any. I stood my ground and said no I didn't want to go to his buddies house. It would have been fun, but I didn't want to go anywhere. I did mask my face and shave, so that's cool. Oh and took a long shower also. lol
I've advertised on a site with all 4 sites and searched around on here a lot. roflmao But realistically I haven't done all that I wanted to. Oh, I've blogged on 2 of my accounts, so that is really good. AND I found this really cool free mom makeover ebook and posted it to everyone I know. lol DUH, I forgot to post it here, so I'll get it on here for you later.
I'm redoing a lot in the coming weeks. I'm overworked and underpaid. Oh wait, that's over 3/4 of America. But seriously. I could have 9 clients a month and make the money I want. That would be working 18 hours a week. Instead of working 45-50 hours a week and making half the money I want. Hmmm, is there a choice? Fuckin' A NO!

Lost today
I've had so much on my mind and so much to do, that today just skipped past me. But, a huge thing happened. My desk is clean! Also I went and reorganized my books and notebooks from school and many notebooks I have for biz. I'll try to keep track of how long it takes for me to destroy the desk. It's usually a few days, but since I'm gone most of the time now, maybe I can make it last a week. lol
I still have a little pile next to me that needs to be put in appropriate places. But with all the dust, I'm beat. Allergies suck! Oh and I vaccumed so that's not helping.
I've been going through a lot of biz stuff lately and I hope it all calms down soon. Nothing to post about for it yet cause the internet world is small, but some changes are in the works.
On a very sad front. I left a comment on the BuckCherry myspace last night. Woke up this morning to a friends invite to Josh Todd's personal myspace. WAHHHHH, what happened? This crazy bitch is a nosy bitch and wants to know WTF! K, so Josh's new album
Is out. It sounds great from the spots I listened to on myspace and I can't wait to get it. But, where's Keith? Some of us just gotta know! If he's doing something else too, then I want that cd. So I was bummed when I saw the new album cause it leads me to believe that they are no more. Hopefully that isn't the case, but yeah right.
Well off to eat dinner and put the rest of these papers where they belong before I work on sites.

still feeling icky
Well maybe I over did it yesterday. I was able to keep food down by Sat. evening, and was starving yesterday, but now my tummy hurts and I have a headache. :( I have to go to work today, can't afford another day off. Plus, I don't know what is on my schedule today. I feel really bad for everyone that I did a no show with on Sat. But unfortunately, I didn't care on Sat. I would have had to be awake for more than a few minutes to care. lol
So no working out today. That is 4 days in a row. But I'm sure I lost weight because of the flu, so we'll see how much in a little while.
Oh to top it off, we had a really bad windstorm come through last night and I didn't get any sleep. That helped me a lot. NOT!!! Off to slop on some make-up and get out of here. I hate being responsible somedays. (sniffle, poor me, sniffle)

Carry-over from yesterday
Yesterday started off really, really well. I went to a corporate wellness expo and talked to a bunch of cool people and even made some new sales. So it was great. Then along came time for the kids to get home from school and my Mom to pick them up. They had half day and this was the third one in a row. I'm not going to go into what happened, cause I really only know one side of the story, but it was bad. WTF am I supposed to do over the cell phone? Especially when I said I need to talk to him and I hear my Mom ask him if he wants to talk to me. WTF???????!!!!!!!!!!!! You do not ask the 8 year old if he wants to talk to him Mom when you are having a problem. You TELL the 8 year old that his Mom wants to talk to him. Needless to say, after he hung up on me everything got worse for them.
So I've only been given what happened by the 8 year old and we talked about it for 1/2 an hour last night. He and I understand why it happened, but it's still not ok for him to get violent. He needs to eat every 2-3 hours or his emotions get out of control for him. Here at the house we haven't had a problem with it in about 2 years. But I forget that others don't fully understand how important it is for him to eat since they haven't been witness to the mood swing that can happen.
I said my nephew could come over today, forgot I said that. lol But kind of figured it wouldn't happen becuase Mom wouldn't want to deal with whatever happened. No such luck. So she asks if hubby told me what happened and I said no, because we only saw each other for a few minutes last night, but that son and I had talked about what happened and what needed to happen in the future so it wouldn't happen. She then proceeds to tell me that it's not ok for him to lay hands on people in anger. NO SHIT!
She proceeds to tell me some more about how it's not ok and I explain the whole food situation and how that doesn't make it ok, but the fact that he really loses his control. I think this is about when the conversation got me cranky and defensive.
Her: "he needs to understand that it's not ok".
me: "he does understand"
her: "well he obviously doesn't"
me: "if you ask him right now he will tell you it's not ok"
repeat a few times
I tell her that he does know right now if you talk to him about how wrong it is, but that he gets so frustrated after he hasn't eaten that he can't use that good judgement he has. BLah, blah, it's not ok. I finally asked her how she wanted me to handle it differently. Does she want me to beat him? No of course not, but wtf does she want me to do differently than what I did? I didn't get an answer about what I should do differently. This is how living in that house was, no wonder why I moved out 2 days after graduation. Nothing I've ever done is good enough. Which is fucking ironic cause I'm not the single parent that has never moved out and is 30 years old! Don't tell me how to raise a son, you fucked up with yours! Oh oh, I'm getting super pissed now. Maybe it's time for me to eat?
I guess hubby and I will have to talk about it tonight and ruin our evening. I can't have this hanging over me now and I want to hear what my Mom's side of the story wass. I just didn't want to hear it from her this morning. I'm sure I should have asked, but just wasn't up for it. The conversation was long enough as it was.
On a great note, hubby passed the first fire dept. test and will move on to the other tests now. That was a major accomplishment and another reason why I didn't want to talk about the issue last night. It was supposed to be a night to celebrate. It's only 11am and I want a martini bad now!
Oh and it all that isn't enough. My mother lovin' hosting won't let me update either site. I rarely have time to do updates, so to do them and then not be able to update it sucks! I can't put my newsletters out either until I get those updates online. WAHHH, let's do over!

working a sunday ;(
Well it can't be helped. Or I guess it could be, but I want a piece of the money. lol Tonight is a big fundraising event at the mall and our gym is hosting the pre-party for all the shoppers. So I'm off to work tonight from 5-11pm. UGH! Tomorrow is going to be a long day with such little sleep, but if I get a piece of the 40-50 memberships that sign up it will be worth it.
The main problem is I have a new committment to working out, so after work I am going to do 20 min. of cardio. I figure I may as well, everyone will be asleep when I get home anyway. So that gets me home sometime around midnight. Then back up again in the morning at 6 to get kids off to school and get ready to go to work again. :( It will all be good. I also have to leave work early wed. and thurs. because of conferences, so the extra hours today work out.
This next commission check will be Christmas and I have to remind myself of that. lol
Right now I'm doing the everlovin' laundry. I knew I should have done my load of pants last night. One pair isn't supposed to be dried in the dryer, but I'm going to have to anyway cause I want to wear them tonight.
Off to make lists of chores for the kids. They aren't picking up the slack this week. Does anyone else have the annoying knats in the house? I know they are always around this time of year, but they still drive me crazy! Time to deep clean the house so they will die sooner. Off to get ready for work and watch The Break Up.

Unproductive
Not sure what's up, but I've been so scatter brained today. And I guess it actually has been more this week than just today. I have no idea what is up. I'm not normaly like this and if I am it's only for a day at most. I have no memory right now for the little stuff. One of those "if my head wasn't attached..." kind of feelings. lol
I'm sure it will be better tomorrow. When I was at work today it was actually better than normal. Of course I was only supposed to be at work to work out, but there was a new joiner that needed a tour and I figured why not make some money while I'm there. lol So I toured him with no make-up, messy hair in a ponytail and my workout clothes on. He still joined with me looking so scary. He must be committed to losing the weight. rofl OH and btw, I didn't steal a sale from one of the trainers that was working today. The receptionist had called 3 times to get someone when I walked in the door. It was just karma that I got there at the right time.
So today though. I had a bunch of stuff I really wanted to get done today, but couldn't focus on any one thing. I had a bunch of different windows open on the computer and never really finished any of the projects. I think tomorrow I will work on prioritizing my list while I'm at work. Then I will hit one thing hard on Sunday morning and finish it. Newsletters are probably the biggest one to hit. So I'll put those first and get them out asap.
k, better go and get some sleep. It's a long day tomorrow!

up to late
[gasp]Like that's a shocker. I'm usually sitting here too late with my farting dog under my feet!
But I really meant to go to bed around 9:30 tonight. I am going to blame it on Loretta. Yes, that's the problem. I don't get to talk to friends and she is online chatting with me right now, so it's her fault. roflmao
I have to be alert at work at 8am and I know I won't be very alert right now. I will have to grab money from hubbies wallet for the morning. I see a very large sugar-free rockstar in my future. lol
Many new ideas are flowing for my scrapsite and it's pretty exciting! If you are a digi kit designer wanna-be, then send me a line. Just put kit designer in the sigline so I see it. :) I'm really looking forward to working with some other home-based Mom's that want to make some extra cash. Oh and if you'd like to moderate some message boards please also send me a line!

Miss my old blog
I'm feeling sorry for myself. I'm missing my WP blog tonight. I'm very thankful that I got a bunch of the posts pulled out of space. But I actually miss the better organization of WP. That's saying a lot for this unorganized soul!
So I'm hoping that blogger beta will sharpen up and let me sort by catagorie soon! I sent it off in my comments when they asked. lol

January 31st, 2006 Whining
Yes, it’s more of a whine, than a bitch but shut-up. When I was prego with my youngest my doctor gave me the choice of being induced on the 3rd or the 4th. The 4th being my bday I asked if we could do the 5th so I wasn’t in the hospital on my bday like the 2 generations before me having their youngest child! WAHHH, never before this year have I felt the loss of my birthday. I’ve always had pretty crappy birthdays, so I don’t hold a lot of stock in them. But this year in order for him to have his slumber party they need to be here on my bday. There’s no question of that and I’m ok with it, but I still need to whine about it.
I think I’m also pmsing, so that’s not helping me cope with it. Next weekend we will have my parents (the best in the world) watch the kids so we can go snowboarding together on the big runs. I really, really selfishly wanted to move son’s bday party and go on my birthday. But, I will play the martyr like always and do what is right for the kids. God knows I don’t want them ever to think their bdays aren’t special, like I do!
I can turn this into a bitch real quick though. Here goes: My parents forgot my 16th birthday. I’d assume by now that this is a figment of my imagination, but I’ve had the same best friend since I was 8. lol And they didn’t even have a good excuse like on 16 Candles of a wedding or something. I was just forgotten. K, now I feel better. I would much rather bitch than whine!!! See, top that birthday crap. I have more if you can take them. roflmao

May 3rd, 2006 Rock on
It’s been really busy around here. I have 2 weeks and 2 days left of school and I’m working real hard at getting most things done this week. I have my final over the whole years worth of anatomy physiology on Monday, so lots of studying going on there. I’m only half way through the study guide and I spent 4 hours on it yesterday. :( I want it done today so a friend and I can compare our notes. lol
So, only 2 1/2 weeks until some money will start coming in. Boy this is much needed. I’m ready to start doing the summer play but we are broke. lol I’m dropping weight, therefore it’s time to get clothes, but we are broke. Damn it! Gotta get to marketing and get my sorry butt down to the gym to talk to them about training people there.
But on a side-note we had a blast last weekend with some friends. It was 75 here last friday and I was at work just dieing to BBQ. So I called everyone up and only one couple could make it. Good enough for a party for me. lol It was great to get together with friend. Haven’t done that much since school started. Sat. we spent the entire viciously raining day nursing hangovers and then sunday it was gorgeous again. We watched a ton of movies and did a lot of nothing. I was completely rested.
Since it’s been forever since I’ve been on here I hadn’t posted my good luck. I was trying all weekend 2 weeks ago to win tickets to the KISW rock girl gala and was having a heck of a time getting through. The phone rang a few times and had my hopes up. Then that following Monday I actually got a person on the line. HOLY CRAP! I’d won the freakin tickets. I couldn’t stop jumping up and down, the kids thought it was hilarious. Yes, they know that Mom is a freak. As long as they don’t think I’m normal I’m ok with that. :) Tomorrow we will be up at the showbox (21 and over club) for a huge deal. They are picking the rock girls for the radio station (don’t care much), but Buck Cherry is playing, Evans Blue and the New Originals. I LOVE BUCK CHERRY! You can’t even get there album around here. It’s always sold out. But you can hear the entire new album on their website, so guess what I’ve been listening to over and over. lol Oh did I mention I won these, so it’s a free date with hubby? At a damned rock concert in a small venue! Holy crap I can’t wait.
My friend went to the Tool concert last night and I can’t wait to hear how that went. The album went on sale yesterday and they chose Seattle to kick off the new tour. At a small venue as well I might add. Yes, we are still the center of the universe for many things that are good.

Yes, they know that Mom is a freak. As long as they don’t think I’m normal I’m ok with that. :) Tomorrow we will be up at the showbox (21 and over club) for a huge deal. They are picking the rock girls for the radio station (don’t care much), but Buck Cherry is playing, Evans Blue and the New Originals. I LOVE BUCK CHERRY! You can’t even get there album around here. It’s always sold out. But you can hear the entire new album on their website, so guess what I’ve been listening to over and over. lol Oh did I mention I won these, so it’s a free date with hubby? At a damned rock concert in a small venue! Holy crap I can’t wait.
My friend went to the Tool concert last night and I can’t wait to hear how that went. The album went on sale yesterday and they chose Seattle to kick off the new tour. At a small venue as well I might add. Yes, we are still the center of the universe for many things that are good.
May 7th, 2006 WOOOOOOOOO
Hey now, you’re a rock star, get your game on, go hey! Oh wait, wrong band. lolololol
The concert was awesome and I have the bruises to prove it. I was front and center the entire concert. I am so bruised and I know that I need to thank hubby for my not being even more bruised. Hubby was behind me, literally covering my ass. So I know that he kept the moshers and the surfers off of me, God love him. lol
I spent the entire concert right at the guitar man! I was at Keith’s feet the entire time. Fuckin’ A he’s hot! I’m pretty sure the kids are all hungry by now and of course that will be my job to feed them. lol Damn responsibilities! When are they coming back in concert? Better go check. I’d travel quite a ways to go see them again!

June 27th, 2006 Buck Cherry again
Sick of me yet on this? TOO FREAKIN BAD! So hope everyone caught them on Jimmy Kimmel live on Wed. night. It wasn’t the best performance, sound was pretty off, but it was them on national tv!
I’m not happy that every time they are in the northwest now it’s a bad time to go. Next time they are in portland is my daughters bday party. Can’t runaway that night. lol So I’ll keep checking their site for more dates to show up. But they’ve got to come around soon!!!

June 27th, 2006 Black Crowe’s
I can’t believe I forgot to post about this. Good grief. So I got my triple 999 club newsletter one monday morning and it had a link for tickets to go see the black crowe’s for 9.99. I thought, yeah right, they will be out on the grass. Still good, but not sure if hubby would want to go.
So ended up working that day and he calls my cell phone back. Says hell ya he wants me to buy them. Didn’t really have a doubt, he really likes them and we just couldn’t swing full price. So I call him and get on ticketbastard. Low and behold, these are good seats and undercover. In WA you really do want undercover in June, you never know what the weather will be.
His buddy at work couldn’t believe it. I knew I should have bought a few more tickets and sold them. But then the concert is on Sat. and hubby tells me on Sat. morning that his buddy got a free ticket and we are meeting up with them to ride the shuttle to the concert. Good times. We all got unexpected tickets. NO other wives are there of course, why am I the only one that loves this stuff? Can’t I find a friend?
Concert was awesome. We saw some other friends from high school that have a band and are going to go watch them this weekend. Hubby had come to realize that I can’t sit at a concert no matter how far away from the stage we are. ;) It’s just not possible when you feel the groove man! And we then went out to breakfast at the casino. Didn’t get home until a little after 2am. Felt like a baby again! We slept until afternoon and woke up to a beautiful day. It was a truly wonderful and fun weekend. Thanks Black Crowes!

June 27th, 2006 Searching around
And found some articles about Buckcherry. I know, I know, shut up right? lol NO! It’s my damn blog, so there. You can read a cool article from Keith here
And on a side note, I got my myspace account set up. It’s really just for my friends to check out and bug me. :) But it’s fun to load blinkies and graphics on there and you can change the layout super quick. Oh and load music on it. I like that option too. For those of you that do read this blog it will mostly be rehash of any good info on myspace. lol

March 9th, 2006 MIA poster
yes, I’ve been MIA and yes I don’t care. lol I had 2 weeks off from school and it wasn’t nearly enough. This week is pure hell trying to get back into the swing of things when I don’t wanna anymore! 11 weeks and counting until graduation, none too soon. If I can’t find a nutrition program online there is no way I’m going back to school this fall. I just can’t take all this anymore while trying to work. Especially since I’ve got my 2 clients to train and I’m working at the espresso stand. BURNING OUT FAST HERE
On a happier kind of note, my computer is not broke. I’ve been without it for almost4 days when the screen faded to black. I’ve been trying not to cry for 4 days and done a damn good job of that I must say. Then today it dawned on me that the computer would come on and there was just nothing on the screen. DUH, maybe it’s my 16 month old flat screen monitor that I FREAKIN love and now HATE! It was of course the problem because here I sit. So now I’ve got the older than dirt, hugest monitor in the world, back on the computer. Pissed off because the good one is broke, but this old one came from the boeing surplus for cryin’ out loud and has seen more hours of work than can be imagined. Technology sucks! But…I’m back on! YIPPEE

January 23rd, 2006 Are you KIDDING?
Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap. The Seapigs are going to the Superbowl! We still can’t believe it around here. We are always the bottom of the league and it’s just amazing we didn’t choke. I am a fair weather Hawks fan and wish them luck. But, I am a Steelers fan and love Bill Cower. So, whatever the outcome it’s all good in our household! lol It’s finally going to be an awesome Superbowl. We’ve had so few of those lately. I just can’t wait!
It’s my son’s bday that day so he’s excited and thinks we should go to the game for his bday. lol I tried to tell him that the game has been sold out for quite a while. Then he said that we should call them and have them say happy birthday to him on the air. He thinks he’s the only one with a birthday on that day. lol
(on a side note, my bday is super bowl sunday this year. lol)

May 18th, 2006 Friends (favorite post)
Well I’m not sure where this post should go. Not even sure if I should be posting it. But I will. I have a feeling a changing of friends is on it’s way. This makes me sad and happy at the same time. Enough said on that.
Here is what I look for in a friend. BTW, I usually hang out with hubby’s friends because I get tired of the crap from women. Just in case you haven’t been reading past posts.
1. No whining. Bitching is just fine. It makes us feel better to get it off our chest. But whining means that you want to rehash it and rehash it and hope that everyone feels sorry for you. I don’t have time for you.
2. No guilt trips. If I’m busy, I’m busy. I will call you. But don’t spend the first 5 minutes of the conversation laying a guilt trip on me. I probably only had 5 minutes for the conversation.
3. Respect that I want to hang with hubby. Yes, I do love to go out with the girls. But, I don’t want to go out and check out guys. I don’t necessarily want to go out and dance with many other guys. I married my hubby for a reason. I know it’s a novel idea, but (shockingly) he is my best friend and we (gasp) enjoy each others company.
4. Get out of the mall. I don’t do malls. The only malls I will walk around and waste time in, have my daughter in them. I will go and spend time with her cause she wants to be there. Otherwise, 4 stores is about my limit. I don’t have enough time to do the mall all day and I definitely don’t have the money!
I’m sure there are a few more, but those are the real one’s that matter. It’s no surprise to most that I’m not a girly-girl. It’s just me. Don’t gasp because I’ve used the same purse for over a year. lol My daughter has a ton of purses already, so I’m starting to use hers. I will be ok. Meet me at the top of the ski lift and we’ll chat on the way down. Oh wait, you’ll have to catch me. I’ll meet you in the bar for a pitcher. I don’t do just glasses of beer. ;) Toast to my new friend!

March 22nd, 2006 Still bad attitude but…
Someone above has granted me some help. ;) I was still in a bad attitude when I went to internship today. First appointment was a no show, big surprise, so I decided to go to the circuit class and have my ass kicked. Boy did she! She was great. I wrote down the whole thing and plan on using it many times. We ran lines, did wall sits, side stepped the length of the gym, both ways! YAHOOO, I’m going to be rolling out of bed in the morning. lol
So, then I had down time. Went to dinner with a friend and had a good time chatting. Really wanted to go home still, but had a 9 o’clock appt. It was another guy. Did anyone miss that I want to work with other Mom’s? K, this is actually really good because I’ve had to break out of my comfort zone. Not only were both my appt’s that showed up guys, but they were also both 59 years old. lol Both in shape though, so that was cool
Anyway, I’m taking this guy around. He is telling me more and more about why he wants to build strength. Showing me the moves he has to make for his sport sailing, so I’m frantically trying to jot stuff down. Now we didn’t start off the appt. knowing anything about the sailing. lol I did know that he had some bone density issues, but he said he was on medication for that. But, I still changed up his workout to help build some back up. He was happy to hear that was possible. So yada yada, he kept telling me he was happy about all the new stuff he was learning. Stroking my ego, yep, I do have one. :) I didn’t have the calculation or a calculator to figure out his target weight, too many numbers in my head. So I told him I would get it to him next week, no problem. We did it real fast and I went up to where he was working out, gave him the number which was about where he likes to be anyway and he starts chatting more.
Come to find out, his doc didn’t tell him anything about exercise to improve bone density. He’s merely put him on medication. Come to find out, this guy quit the medication 4-6 weeks ago because he found out one of the side-effects was depression. He’d been on it for a year and a half and was having issues with depression and he’d never before had problems. So we chatted about that a little and he told me how happy he was to hear of this alternative. He has some other things, but we are going to tackle them at a later date. I was not looking forward to this appointment and I really almost passed it on to someone else. I wanted to go home. But it’s amazing how things are put in our space to help us. I am on top of the world right now that I just helped someone feel like there is hope with out medication!!! ON TOP OF THE FREAKIN WORLD! This is why I’m in school. To help educate.
