So, Lindsey is officially two years old today. Sad part is I am still not sure if her name is spelt 'Lindsey' or 'Lindsay', bad aunt, but she at least knows who I am now and calls me Aunty unlike Bobby who seems to always ask who I am. Sometimes I think he is just being a little prick just because he can. Because if the two year old can remember the five year old should too. Right?
Anyway it's her birthday today but sadly Steph can't come because she is working in the afternoon. I think it is really bothering her she has to miss out. Plus now it looks like we are going to have to chang the date for the kidse present next week. Because of steph's classes. Which is fine but it looked like for a while she just wouldn't be able to go to that either.
But I am very excited to go to the kangaroo zoo again I think the kids wil really like it. I just need Steph to come so each of us can take charge of a child. Plus I promised she could take a million pictures since I wouldn't go back for her camera on Bobby's Birthday.

I guess I should actually get out of bed now and shower, otherwise I will have another lazy day. *sigh*
Oh and we went to work source yesterday to see if we could get anymoney for school for steph and they were like 'do you have a job?'
Us: "yes"
Them: "oh. Well did you make more than $5,00 in the last six months?"
Us: "Um yes."
Them: "Oh...hmmm...well are you elegible for food stamps?"
Us: "No."
Pretty mcuh we make too much to get their help. We were both a little confused because more than one person working at the hospital told us to go there but this seemed like something for homesless people or the very very poor. It was so weird we felt a little stupid walking in there.

Ok Jae time to get up! -_-

I have two good things that have happened.

One is the Steph is officially in Nursing School.  She starts in one week.  Someone apparently dropped out at the last minute from their competitive admittance so to fill the hole they ran down the waiting list and they had called 30, I repeat 30, people waiting to get into the program before they called Steph.  So we ran down to the collage and got her all signed up and it is official, She will be a nurse in two years!  Talk about a long time waiting.  This just means now money is going to be really tight since we only have a week to put together $950 for school and then another $600 for school supplies (text books, uniform ect...)  but hopefully she will be able to barrow someones books until next pay period.  We are just lucky we both picked up a bunch this pay check so we have the money to pay for the classes. *sweat drop* at least this means in two years I can finally quit this job!  We can move...again... But into a bigger place!  And have a Baby.

My other good news is I have officially lost 25 lb. in the last three weeks!!!!!!  YEAH!

 :)

Yeah!


I do only have one issue.  I keep accidentally deleting my comments....grrrr. I am no longer touching them. This is ridiculous.

I would just like to say I am reading the  Percy Jackson books right now. And they have renewed my intrest in the stories of the Greek Gods.  And in all the years I have looked stuff up about the gods and learned about them I have never bothered looking into how Hero and Zeus got together.  I knew of course that they are brother and sister....But what I didn't know what that Zeus had tried to court Hera and she refused him.  So he turned himself into a small animal pretending to be hurt.  Hera took pitty on the animal and when she held it to her chest he turn back into himself and raped her!  Raped!  *sigh*
And to cover her humiliation she married him.  I would be angry and vindictive toward him too.
It just shocked me because she is the the Goddess of motherhood and Marriage.  I mean I knew the stories of the greek gods were like that but for some reason this shocked me.

The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door.
 

Dear Dogs and Cats:
 
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The 
other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the 
middle of my plate and my food does not stake a claim for it becoming 
your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the 
slightest.
 
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing 
me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I 
fall faster than you can run.
 
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king-sized bed. I am very sorry 
about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure
 
your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they 
sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, 
stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking 
tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to 
maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
 
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by
some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not
necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw 
under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the 
same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - 
canine/feline attendance is not required.
 
The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other 
dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.
 
Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on 
the front door:
 
TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:
 
(1) They live here. You don't.
 
(2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.  That's why they call it 'fur'-niture.

(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.

(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly.

Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
 
(1) eat less,
 
(2) don't ask for money all the time,
 
(3) are easier to train,
 
(4) normally come when called,
 
(5) never ask to drive the car,
 
(6) don't hang out with drug-using people;
 
(7) don't smoke or drink,
 
(8) don't want to wear your clothes,
 
(9) don't have to buy the latest fashions,
 
(10) don't need a gazillion dollars for college and
 
(11) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children ... *
