Fun Weekend!

But oh so tiring!! Last night I was actually getting shakey and kinda dizzy because I was just sooo tired.

So Lee has had 2 more softball games. Lost both, sadly. They haven't been playing real well lately. Thurs game started good, got REALLY BAD, then ended good, they did a good ralley. Lee would have had a run in but the person got out right when he was getting to home plate, so it didn't count. Oh well.

So anyway on Friday night we had planned a pool party at a friends house. He was out of town in panama city so we took over his house, hehe. He has a kind of in ground/above ground pool. Its like got a deck built up around it, so it looks like an in ground, but it isn't. It doesn't have a deep end. Which is okay for playing in and such. I brought buns for the hamburgers and a desert that everyone loves. (its got a layer of angel food cake, strawberries, then vanilla pudding, then whip cream, and you do it 2 or 3 layers. Pretty good! Jamie calles it Yum Yum, lol)

So we played in the pool (the bro and sis in law and our two friends amanda and ryan, well amanda didnt swim for some reason) and Lee cooked the hamburgers. Then we went in and ate, then came back out and played in the pool for like 2 or 3 more hours, lol. Lots of fun! Even Lee had fun I think, although he didn't ever get his head under water, hehe. I got on his shoulders once and Jamie got on chris' and we had a chicken fight. Which I won of course!! I always win those! hehe, good thing Lee has strong shoulders!

Anywho, so we got home about 12 that night, and had to get up at 6 the next morning, UGH! My dad acquired a new rental house (I think he has 5 or 6 now!) so he need us to come help lay some flooring and clean up a bit. The last tenants left a HUGE mess. Roaches everywhere, stunk, dirty, dog poo in the tub, etc. NASTY! And it was soooo hot in there. I was just dripping sweat. Thankfully after we did a bit of work, Jamie and I got away to go to the mall to go shopping. Yeah! That was fun. She needed some new church clothes so we walked up and down the mall, both stories, all afternoon shopping. We also took some photo booth pics, they are so funny! I will have to post them, left it at home. I wanted to get an air brush tattoo, but Jamie didn't seem too keen on it, so I felt bad making her wait on me to get one, plus my shirt was in the way of where I wanted it, and they were 5$, so I didn't. I wish I had tho! I wanted the chinese symbol for serenity on my left shoulder.

The second one was it, I think. Oh well, next time! I got Lee some shorts from Aeropostle and some socks that were on sale for his sister, she loves stuff like that from stores like old navy, abercrombie, etc. I tried to give them to her yesterday but every time I got near her she ran off like she was avoiding me. Fine!

I also got some of the CUTEST SHOES EVER! Thats them to the right, they're madden girls. They were originally like 40$ and I got them for NINE. Scoreeee. Jamie also got some really cute ones for 9$. Heres were made by some weird etienne aigner or something name. I wore them Sunday and felt SO sexy, lol. The night before I put them on and I was WAY taller then Lee, who was barefoot, in them, heheheh, that was fun. I was about the same height as him with his shoes on tho. He's 6ft.

So thats all the money I could spend, thankfully lees shorts were half off so they were 18 something. Tight money week again, as usual. Although this Fri Sat we are going to make 300$, yeah! There is a guy in church that owns fireworks stands. Lees mom and his little bro have been working at 2 diff ones. Well they need more people for the 4th this weekend, so he is going to pay us to work Fri and Sat. But its going to be from 10 to 9 Fri (possibly later) and 10 to whenever people stop buying on Sat. Which is like midnight or later I'm sure! UGH. We also have to miss our family 4th of July party...sniff. Not cool. I'm about to get bummed out about that, better stop thinking about it. It WAS going to be this past Sat, but they changed it all of a sudden, thanks. So now we are going to miss it. -_-

I've been thinking about what to do with the money...I want to go to the beach SO BAD. But I dunno if 400 is enough! (I was thinking we could swing an extra 100 of our own money to make it 4) I was looking at hotels and the decent ones are at least a 100 bucks a night. Sniff. I mean, I guess we COULD stay in a 60$ hotel room, but is it worth it?? I wanted to be in walking distance of the beach, but they are so expensive...I was thinking about taking the sea doo so we could play in the ocean with it, how fun would that be!! But we need at least 100 for gas, AT LEAST 100 for food, then if the hotel costs 100 a night...I dunno. Mobile is cheaper then Gulf Shores, but not near as nice...

So we went back to the rental after the mall and did some more cleaning, watched the boys do some more floor (they were putting down that laminate snap together wood stuff in the WHOLE house) and then I got Sims out of the truck and let Jamie play that for awhile. We finally got to leave about 7 something and got home, let the dog play a while, then went to BED.

Next day was church, then small group. I was wanting to go swimming again, but then we decided to go see Transformers 2. It was REALLY good. Although a lot more sexual innuendo then was needed, as well as cussing. I mean, this is a FAMILY movie, with 5 and 6 year olds! Come on you morons!

After that we went on home and it was like, sighhh, so good to be home! I made chili dogs and we watched Shooter. Well, part of it, it got close to 11 so we took our butts off to bed. Now I'm at work, so I can be off Friday for the fireworks stand. Lee and Josh are working 10 hour days this week to make up for missing work Fri.

So speaking of work. Dad said last Monday that he is needing to hire a full time person to work in his office at his shop soon, if it keeps on being so busy. I WANT TO SO BAD. But heres whats stopping me:

1. The Aunt - I've worked for her nearly 5 years here, and I feel like she would be DEVASTATED if I leave. She'd have to find someone else to work and we have gone through at LEAST 6 girls that all quit. I'm the only one that has stayed. We also had one get fired cause she was stealing from another girl who worked here. Stupid girl. Plus its like, okay, sorry, I like my daddy better then you so seeee yaaa, I don't want her to think that...
And its a lot of responsibility, the stuff I do. Something you don't trust to just anyone. It would have to be a very special person that she would trust to do what I do. I wish she could have her daughter work, but she has 2 small girls and I doubt she would have anyone else take care of them during the day...but you never know. That would make me feel a LOT better though if she did take my place. I wouldnt feel bad at all about leaving.

2. Money - I'm not sure how serious he is about employing me full time. Is this just something that is for a little while, and if it gets slow I can't work? Or what? I mean, I know its hard to say if he is going to be busy...and it seems like summer is always busy because of the heat messing cars up. So is it going to be slow in the winter?? Will he keep me on?? I mean, I'm pretty sure those wont be probs but I worry. And what if something happened to him and he couldn't work anymore, I'm out of a job. But that could happen to my aunt too...
Although its not like I make much at all. 8$ an hour won't break anyone, lol.

Pros!

1. Possible insurance. YES, I think that is a possibility, dad and mom need some, so they had a guy out the other day. I asked mom, jokingly, if dad was going to have insurance for me when I started working there, and she goes, maybe! I was like, REALLY? That would be SO GREAT. Then we could start planning a family...I'm starting to move that way a bit. I took care of my nephew yesterday afternoon and he is just SO ADORABLE!! It was so fun. But I dunno...

2. Happiness. I really do not enjoy working here. Yeah, its nice to be able to get on the comp for quite a bit, and not have to do a whole lot. But I don't like messing with people, and I don't like always worrying if I'm not doing what she wants me to, or not good enough, etc. I don't feel like that with dad. I know what I'm supposed to do and I do it. There is no gray areas like there is here. Plus, hes my dad, I'm much more comfy with him. And I don't deal with people much at all there, if I do its to take there money, not help them pick out a purse or jewelry and then when it breaks have to deal with them.

3. Motivation. I would be SO much more motivated to help dad out with his business. Because I care about it more. Id be more willing to work harder, do more for him, etc. Like advertising, PR, whatever.

4. Freedom. I never have to work saturdays, and I get to get out and go get lunch, put in deposits, run errands I'm not stuck there.

So anyway, sorry for the boring monologue. It helps me get my head straight. So I'll shut up for now, ta ta!

Helloooo

So I guess its been a bit since my last post, so I better blog again!

So our first softball game went GREAT! They won! 5 to 4. It was a good game, the teams were pretty evenly matched, which I LOVE. I hate getting killed by a much better team, and then its kinda sad when you do it to another one, lol. They practiced against the redneck white trash team again Saturday night, and killed them again, lol. Although Lee didn't play as good this time, he wasn't hitting real well and he was running to 3rd and couldn't stop on top of the base and ran past it, so he was out :(. Of course now he is saying things like, I'm not much of a contribution to the team, etc. Ugh, he didn't get any points in the real game either, he did get on base though. Just the other people batting after him didn't hit good enough to get him to home.

I'm not sure if he is going to make it tonight to the game. He has been working late this week, and its early, 6:30. So we will see. I will probably go even if he doesn't to hang out with my peeps. I'm glad if he does go, that I have my camera this week. The younger bro had it last week when he went chasing tornadoes. (which they didn't find)

So I really hope he does good tonight and feels good about himself...

Annnyway, I got the sea doo tagged! And a battery in it! YEAH. Dad actually bought the battery, for working up at this shop on mondays. Yesss. Haven't taken it out yet, but probably will this weekend if not before. Speaking of money, we spent SO much this weekend, ughhh. Stupid!! I think we will be okay, but its going to be close. We ate out WAY too many times, and then went to the movies.

Speaking of movies, our 3rd wedding anniversary was last Wednesday. We didn't have the money to do much, but decided to go up to the Monaco and watch Terminator. But it takes an hour to get there (huntsville) and we got there RIGHT on time, and the seats were full. So we changed it to UP, which we LOVED. It was soooo funny! I had a lot of fun, and I think Lee did too. We wanted to eat somewhere too, but Lee got home kinda late to go before and it was after 10 when we got out of the movie. Oh well. The Monaco is in this new mall near us, it looks like a European city kinda, its outside and has water running through it, SO pretty. I love it. This is it: Bridge Street Town Center

Speaking of movies AGAIN, I am SO excited about The Proposal (sandra bullock) it looks HILARIOUS. Although I'm a little annoyed when I just saw it has nudity in it. What the?? Its PG-13!! Geezeee, ridiculous.

So had a pretty decent day yesterday. I got up with Lee to make his lunch and then just stayed up and cleaned the kitchen and living room. Then went back to bed for an hour, lol. I worked at dads till about 1pm or so and then stopped by walgreens and then went home. Got suited up for the heat and all sunscreened up and mowed the lawn for a few hours. Got it all done! Worked on my tan too, yeahhh. Then Lee finally got home and he grilled pork steaks for us. I made some blueberry muffins and corn and it was gooood. We watched Gran Torino while we ate. Not my fav movie so I played Sims3 while I watched, lol.

So pretty slow at work so far, kinda excited about after work. I love games, its fun to get out and about. I hope Lee can make it, I don't think he really wants to...sigh. Hes got to finish a side job, hopefully today so we can get the money from it. But his stupid boss has been working them late, so he can't get it done. It only likes about 2 hours.

So I guess thats all for now. Ta ta!

I'm Not Lost!

Just been entralled with my new Sims 3 game and not wanting to do anything else! Lol, Michelle knows what I mean! It came out last week and is about all I have been doing at work, well, besides working that is ;).

So! Had a pretty fun weekend, even though I had to work Saturday. But lets backtrack a bit to catch up.

Last few weeks have been really tight in the money area, kinda nervous about that. We had 5 weeks last month and that screwed my schedule all up. So we have quite a few things to pay for these next two weeks and I'm worried the money is going to run out. :( But God willing we will make it. Lee also has a old friend that used to go to our church, wanting him to do some remodeling on his house. So that will be some extra money, whenever he gets over there to do it.

Oh, guess what! I convinced Lee to get on the church softball team this year! He did it the first year we started it, right before we got married. He was actually on our honeymoon the first game, haha. But he didn't get to play much and didn't like it. Then, we had a lot of older guys on there who got upset if they didn't get to play so the coach coddled them, etc. Wel the next two years Lee didn't play, and so this year came around and now its a different coach, with mostly younger guys his age and lower playing. So my bro convinced him to sign up. Yeah! I like it because it gets him doing something (he always says he has no hobbies) and out socializing, and I get to be out socializing with my sis in law and we are now getting to be good friends with the sis in laws best friend from high school and her husband.

So they have games every Tues and Thurs night, which might get old pretty quick. I like practices, but game make me SO NERVOUS! Its like he is my little kid, I want him to be good and do good, and to feel good about himself. And if he does bad I feel bad cause HE feels bad, etc, lol. And they he will get upset and say stuff like, I knew I'm not good, I shouldn't have sighed up, I TOLD YOU SO, lol.

Anyway, he did quite well in their first practice last Thurs, and REALLY good this Sat at practice. They actually got asked by another softball team if they wanted to do a scrimmage game. (not a church team tho, these guys were REDNECK WHITE TRASH to the core it was hilarious. Mullets and tatoos and smoking while playing and snaggletoothed wives with 2 teeth in their heads, hahaha. NO JOKE! It was like something out of a movie)

Anyway, he got like 4 or 5 runs in! And did sooo good, I was so proud, it was a good confidence builder for him. Hes never been an athletic guy, physical, but not athletic. But he can do good if he practices. Sat morning before I left for work I threw some balls with him to help him practice, it was fun. He was laughing at the way I catch balls, saying he didn't know how I caught them, I guess he thought I was holding my mitt in a weird angle when I caught, whatever, it works for me!

Anywho, first real game is Tues night, then I believe another Thurs. I hope he does good!! They usually don't win many though, lol. Also gotta come up with 40$ for sign up and then another 12$ for a shirt...gahhh.

So about not much besides that has been going on, work, etc. I'm at work again today because the boss had family in town so she swapped me for tomarrow, so I will be off Tues instead of Mon. I guess Im working at my dads garage on Mons till about lunch time now. For free, apparently. Yeah. Lee is not happy about that. Can't say I am either, I sure could use some extra money this week. Its not looking good at all. I've been messing with my budget for about 30 mins now with little luck of stretching it at all. Need more moollaaa! Mortgage is prolly gonna be late this month. :( Lee wants me to call up and see if we can refinance and get a lower interest rate and lower our monthly payment. We heard about one couple that did and went from 6 to THREE percent and then lowered their payment a LOT. Thatd be nice...

So Sat after work we had ball practice, and then Sunday was church and then small group. Chris called the night befoe to tell us to bring our bathing suits cause they were taking the boat out the next afternoon. Yeah! So after small group we got changed and got the boat hooked up and headed out! Amanda and Ryan (the couple I talked about earlier) came with as well. They are fun. Amanda is a bit girly girl, but she does okay. (shes also gorgeous with a really nice tan and body, just love that -_- yeah, she wore a bikini)

So we drove around a bit then stopped and the boys all jumped in to swim. We layed out a bit then I jumped in, but got out pretty quick cause it was COLD still! Then we got the tube aired up and Jamie and I rode that for a bit, SO FUNNNN! Then Ryan wanted to try it, so I rode with him, then he wanted to go some more and tried to get Lee on it, but he wasn't having any of it. (he does NOT want his head under water, and thats what would happen if he fell off, lol) so Jamie jumped back in with him. My butt was so sore from the water beating it, and of course my abs too cause I was laughing so hard the whole time. It was great fun though. So after that Chris wanted to boogie board (knee board) so that meant I had to drive the boat since no one else has a license. Well that always makes me nervous, tho I try not to show it. I did okay though! Lee said I did good, lol. I've only drove it like 2 times, lol. That being my 2nd, haha. There was also a lot of trash in the water, so I had to keep dodging that, not fun. I piled 2 life jackets up under me so I could see over the windshield, haha, the seat should be made higher. Chris sits on his knee, but that is sooo uncomfy.

So after that we decided to head on in since it was getting late. Got the boat back on the trailer and Lee and I headed out to go get some dominoes while they took the boat back to mom and dads. Then we went back to chris n jamies and ate pizza and watched Bolt, again, lol, ryan and amanda had not seen it. I love it though, so I don't mind watching it! Its hysterical.

And then Lee and I headed home and that was it! We have been having a good few days together. I feel closer to him, its been getting a little shakey last week or two. I need a lot to keep me happy in my relationship with him. And he doesn't always get that, but he is doing better.

So that is long enough! I'm hoping to get some pictures from amanda from yesterday. She took a lot while we were on the tube, lol. Should be pretty funny!

Ta ta!
