Not gonna miss it one little bit.............I couldn't run out the door fast enough this evening.

Ok gotta get back to my rum it gets a little jealous when I leave it too long for the computer!

Update

I know I haven't posted on here in like forever..........

Been really really really ...........ok you get the point.........busy!

I have the bestest (is that a word? Ms. English Teacher leave me alone!) news ever, a week ago!

I! GOT! THE! JOB!

I handed in my notice to my current employers last week and my last working day with them is this Wednesday! I have been so wound up, bouncing off walls, I don't know how they can put up with me I can barely stand myself.

I start my new job on the 29th!

So between celebrating that, I had a dreaded birthday in there. Wasn't too bad another year older, but did I mention that I HAVE A NEW JOB!

My girlfriend took me out, I got totally shit faced. (Yes I know I said no more drinking, but hey that would be like not breathing right?) This time there was no 3 pound weight gain. We had a blast. Only part that sucked was waking up the next morning at 6 a.m., didn't think that one out to well did I. I also learned that I am too old for that shit! Next time I am giving myself a day in bed for recovery!

The cousin I use to have sent me a text message that almost made me have an emotion until I remembered why I was so pissed at this person to start with and that flew out the window. Still haven't Run into that person in public yet, now that I have cooled off 1 degree I am not sure how I am gonna handle that situation.

On a brighter note! I found a new hairdresser! Whom I love! Got my hair done! It is Fab! Added more blonde this time! LOVE IT! (Can't wait to go blonder)

I am planning a trip to the beach next weekend with my kids, gonna call my favorite Aunt and ask her does she want to brave the ride with my terrorists and go with us. This is my celebration/last unofficialsemiweekend of summer trip.

(I am prob killing Ms English Teacher with this Blog entry. By the way spell checker didn't like my made up words either if it makes you feel any better).

But I want one............

My mom told me I couldn't have one of these for my birthday this year. This is not ordinary Barbie. This one has real diamonds and retails for $94,000. I don't see what the problem is!

I hurt!

I went to the gym 2 times yesterday. Once, to meet with my trainer at 9 am then again at 4 pm for my daughter to meet with her. Saved my cardio for the second trip and so that I could attempt to work off lunch. This morning I did not think I was going to be able to get out of the bed. Took me 3 tried to get off the mattress. From my butt to my ankles are so sore, I am shuffling around like a little old lady today. I think at one point today, someone with a walker actually passed me at the mall. It is bad. There had better be movement on that freaking scale!

Where was lunch you ask! Yes I know you are all dying to know. Ok so I flatter myself a little, I am allowed, after all it is MY blog and I did use to be THE PRINCESS!

Well not having as much time as normal, due to several things, one being picking the children up from school a little early and two being that gremlin that reset Lorri's alarm clock we ended up in Colonial Beach at the Riverboat. This was my first time ever to this place. I had never been there before they had to rebuild due to the hurricane so I have nothing to compair it to. Lorri tells me that it was like 600 times nicer now. I will take her word for it.

I was impressed, for the area that I was in. We were greeted by what I think must have been one of the owners. She was very proud of the new building and went on and on about how well built this new place was. There were several dining rooms to chose from and we ended up sitting in one that was right over the river. Very cool!

There were real linens on the table! Water glasses! Proper silverware! I notice these things and honey let me tell you to find them in this area is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. It is not to be found. The accepted idea of fine dining around here would make most civilized people cringe. You can dress them up and take them out, but they still be country people.

The food was great. We started with crab stuffed mushrooms. Huge mushrooms filled with real crab meat with not much filler. I had a broiled plate, crab cake, fish, scallops and shrimp. I was in heaven. I think, this is horrible but I was so involved with my food, Lorri had fried shrimp? Anyways it was all wonderful, we left stuffed and the bill was like 50 bucks. Not bad at all.

Since the restaurant sits in the water it is in Maryland, so there is a liquor store in there, off track betting and some other stuff to gamble, we did not do any of that, but if you wanted to the option was there. Although watching Lorri figure out the lottery ticket machine was highly amusing!

I cannot wait to go back!

Yes I am alive

I have been busy, sick and had sick kids.

The worse part of going back to school is the kids bring home all that first month of school funk home with them.

I got it, they got it and I have had all kinds of mad other stuff going on along with the funk.
Which I still cannot share.

Yes, I am a bitch!!!

It's only for a couple more days though.................

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Today SUCKED!!

I went to my doctors appointment this morning, got about 5 minutes from the office, they called on my cell phone. Due to weather they cancelled. It was just raining! Only in this native podunk town. So I now have a new appointment on Monday, yea me! Gonna be a busy day Monday starting with the kiddies on the bus and not ending till they come home. I would like to say I am heart broken but yeah I just can't drum up that emotion yet.

The rest of the day was a bust, I have sat here most of the day and played pogo and watched the travel channel!

Now that is excitement for ya!

Tomorrow looks like it is gonna be a repeat of today, hopefully with out the rain. Unfortunately it will have a huge mix of people that I have to claim as relatives. That kinda sucks and I really really need to get the gym fit in there sometime. I have so been slacking the last couple days.

I was looking over the blog the other day and saw that I needed to catch you guys up on some things.

1. The baseball game. We went! Just kidding. We did go the Prince William Nationals lost that night 13-3 to Lynchburg. They were slaughtered! Kids still had a blast. They had fireworks after the game, my kids had never been to a fireworks show before and they were wowed. They even got to run around the bases after the game. They thought that they were hot shit. Only time I wanted to kill someone was when the Fabio looking asshole in front of us who moved from the seat he was supposed to be sitting in to one where he could hit on some ho, made a comment about how he had to move cuz he couldn't stand my kids excitement anymore. I was tempted to show my ass, but didn't want the kids to come away with that memory so I let it go. But Fabio if you are reading Fuck off about 1/2 hour before you moved in on her the guy on the other side was grabbing her ass, I think she was playing you both!

2. The dreaded sleep study. The terrorist did really well with this. Even though he was wired up like he was gonna explode. This pic was before they put the things up his nose. He wouldn't let me take anymore pictures after that.

He was asleep within a half an hour after they turned the lights out. I on the other hand napped on and off all night long. It sucked. The doctor called me this last week, we are probably going to have to go through with the surgery. Oh joy! Just shoot me now! I am so looking forward to that.

I think it must be time to turn the Travel Channel now, the World Porker Tour now on. I am so not watching that.

I could tell you, but then I would have to kill ya!

Today was the best day ever!!!!!!!!

I cannot even share the news yet till next Monday!!!!!

Yeah, I know to quote my shit head daughter "I suck dog butt", but the chosen few know why as I sit here typing I am doing the happy dance in my chair!

The rest of the world has to wait. Sorry!

Lorri, sorry to drop that bombshell on you while you were on vacation, but remember you did leave me to go to VEGAS!!

That was rather rude. lol

There has been so much drama at work this week I am looking forward to this weekend at home for once. Even with a storm coming up the coast it has got to be less fighting in this house than there has been in that office. If they just killed each other I think there would be less talk about it all. *sigh* I am so done!

I have no big plans this weekend, hopefully hit the gym. Please note that I said hopefully. I am making no promises here.

I had a blast from my past today one of my ex BAM's (broke ass motherfucker's) this is how I am these days referring to my ex boyfriends, most of them fall into this category. Any how he called starting his I miss you blah blah blah shit today. Like I was supposed to drop what I was doing and run cuz he called. AS IF!!! Kind of amusing.

Gave me something to laugh about tonite as I was bouncing off the walls thinking about my other good news!

Well I am off to bed, it was a super long day and for some dumb reason I set up a doctors appointment for first thing in the morning. A month ago this sounded like a good idea, now that it is here not so much.

Goodbye, Rum! You won't know how much your missed!

The drinking has to go!

All this kids are back in school celebrating, great idea at the time. Right?!?!

I get to the gym yesterday..............I gained 3 lbs back............3 lbs that I worked my ass off to lose back in 3 days of rum filled haze.

So dear friend rum, you have been with me thru the thick and thin, the good and the bad, but I am sorry to say that my fat ass now wants to be a skinny one so AMF!

There will be no more liquid lunches/dinners in the near future for Jen. You will have to sit in the laundry room all by yourself and just have to dream about the day you will be mixed with a coke again.

You will be missed, my friend. It pains me more than you know to have to let you go.

I must go now and mourn the ending of a friendship of almost............well I cannot tell you that, it would look bad...........let's just say a very very long friendship!

SCHOOL IS IN!

The wait is over! School is back in! I officially have a life again! See my little Angels at the bus stop, they were just so excited to go back they could barely contain themselves. Yesterday from work I called my daughter and told her she had 6 more hours to go before her bedtime, cuz it was a school night. She told me to shut up. Rude child!

This here was the most beautiful sight I have seen in months! I am telling you, I almost cried!

I went for coffee afterwards and two men behind me in line were talking about how they forgot today was the first day of school. They couldn't believe how many people were out there taking pictures of their children getting on the school bus. If they only knew, we were really just taking proof that they were finally leaving us for 6 whole hours after a summer of hell and too much family togetherness!

What did I do with myself for 6 whole kid free hours today you ask?

What else, but take my bff who for the first time in 12 years is kid free herself (ok I drug her kicking and screaming out of her safety zone) to D.C..

Why, you ask?

Because for some reason every time I fart in Fredericksburg the whole town knows my business and I refuse to do anything in this God forsaken Redneckville any longer. That is why!

We went to Springfield and hopped on the Metro. Took that to Chinatown and immediately ran across the street to Starbucks for caffeine and a bathroom. While I was waiting for my friend I looked out the window and was treated with 2 MPD cops on horses.

For my next stop I was in Holster Sniffers Heaven! Every where I looked there was a police car with a uniform in it. I kept seeing FBI vehicles then DUH! It dawned on me we were next to the FBI office building. I am so stupid some times. While we ate/drank lunch we got to watch the big boys come and go from their building!

Where was lunch you ask?

Well decided to have a little fun and treat ourselves today, so we ended up at the Hard Rock Cafe! Our waiter was the bomb, the drinks were excellent and I am pretty sure the food was great. Did I mention the drinks. They were really really good!

On the way back to the car I tried to talk my friend into hopping on a plane and just leaving the world behind. *sigh* She wouldn't go for it and I had to bring her back down here so she could make it home for her kids school bus. So unfortunately I couldn't run away today!

There is always tomorrow!
