Clearing out

I've spent most of my morning boxing up things I don't have room for but want when I get my own place. I lived in the dining room for 3 years & in that 3 years I accumulated a lot of stuff. Now I am in a normal sized room, while I can fit everything in here, I hate the look of clutter. What looked great in my HUGE room looks like clutter in my new small room. I also need to clean the top of my closet out. There is stuff up there I couldn't tell you what it was. Things people have handed down to me, things I'm accumulated over time & now don't like. So I hope to do that next weekend since I have a 3 day weekend. All the things I do not want are getting priced and going into a garage sale. I'm having one soonish to raise money so I can go to Scotland for a study abroad program. I hope I can go *crosses fingers*. If I don't get to go, the money just goes into my savings. I suppose the real reason I'm blogging is to stall, waste time. I always get lazy around noon time.

OH, a few weeks ago I decided I wanted new bedding. Stuff that went with my room & all matched. Up till now I had sheets my mom handed down to me, a comforter she gave me for Christmas a couple years ago (I love it, but it doesn't match my room). So I went on Overstock.com on the hunt. This is what I ordered.

I only paid $100 & I got the comforter, bedskirt, the two blue pillow shams, the two brown pillow shams, and the two decorative pillows. I haven't put it on my bed yet because I need to go to Target & get teal sheets, and some plain teal & chocolate pillow cases. I also have to get square pillows of the blue shams. But I'm so excited. I'm going to Target this week. I'm having a hard time waiting lol. And I refuse to put it on my bed until I have all the pieces.

So ready for the weekend

It's 9:41 P.M. on Thursday night & I'm exhausted. I am waiting on my uniforms to dry and I still have dishes to do. I am beyond ready for 2 P.M. tomorrow to come. I'm hoping tomorrow when I get home that I'll get pictures & a video done on my E.L.F. order that came in. I also get my new bedding in, but I won't put it on my bed till I make it to Target to get the sheets I want & a few more pillow cases.

While I'm here I want to talk about a message board I own with a couple friends of mine. Serenitymb.net! We have members but none of them post. Only like the same 4 people post on there. I have no idea what to do to get people interested. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm open to all suggestions.

I know this is a piss poor excuse of a blog entry, but I am so tired. So I'm going to go wash dishes & go to bed. Night loves.

It got worse

So my day got worse. Really? Was today supposed to be all the bad things I had coming my way for the month? Sigh! Let me tell you about it.

I get home, and as I'm walking to the door to go inside I happen to look and see my mom's bathroom door sitting in the shed. I was like what the hell is it doing there. So I sent her a text asking why it was off the hinge and sitting in there. I was not trying to stir up trouble, I was just curious. I mean maybe something happened and she had to fix a hinge or was getting a new door. A lot happens while I'm at work lol. Well I come inside and ask my sister. She said she didn't know. Well my sister went and asked my moms boyfriend if he knew. She then comes back to me and says that he said it's a practical joke. He then comes back here and says to me not to tell her anything. I reply "I sent her a text already asking why it was there." He replies "Thanks a lot", and he's snippy about it. I'm like wtf "I was just asking her. I didnt know what happened". He says "Yes you did." he then storms off down the hall. A few minutes later I hear him on the phone with my mom fussing about the door. Apparently, she was bitching because one he got off the phone, he got in his truck and left. So I text my mom again saying he left. Now, he has a habit of randomly showing up where ever my mom is to start shit. This time it happened to be Wal-Mart. He came back 15 minutes later, she came in 5 minutes later. And when she came in she was PISSED. Her face was almost purple. She's slamming doors screaming "Where is that asshole". Once she found him all hell broke loose. She told him he was supposed to put it back before she got home and then I left the area. I didn't want to be there. Once it stopped, I went into the kitchen where he says "Thanks Kyli. I'm gone." I said "I didnt do anything". He said "You always start shit. You don't care about your mothers happiness.". I screamed "You did it to yourself. YOU TOOK THE DOOR OFF THE HINGES". He said something and stormed off. More fighting and yelling followed, I stayed away. Anywho as he's packing to leave my mom goes to turn on the ac, it's broken. He pushes her and says "let me see
"...Then says "I'm worthless but I'll fucking fix it for you.". Then then goes to the breaker box turning EVERYTHING in the house off, over and over and over. SIGH! He goes in the attic and decides a mouse chewed some wire. When I come out again hes acting like all is well saying things like "Can I stay till tomorrow?" "I'll stay and fix it. I hate to see you get gouged money wise with something I can fix."!!!! Really, wtf? So I then told my mom all the shit he said to me. It pissed her off again, and she went outside and talked to him. As of now he is still packing. So I'm not sure. I really hope he leaves. My mom deserves soooooooo much better.!

He is a lazy POS! Does nothing around here except make mess for us to clean! He has no job! He tells me mom that he is 65, retired, and earned his right to be lazy. My mom understands that,and he gets like $1200 a month from social security or something like that. But he pays for nothing here. Every once in awhile he will buy fast food for dinner, but thats all. My mom pays ALL the bills, buys ALL the food, bought him a lot of new clothes and such. All while he can't wash a dish. She said if he would just work a couple days at Auto Zone or be a Wal-Mart greeter she'd be happy. Just so he could help pay something. My moms bills have doubled since he came here. The electricity bill because he leaves EVERYTHING on constantly. She spends double on food now then she did before because he always eats and always whines until she cooks a full on meal for dinner. Before he came we ate 2 or 3 full on meals a week, then did left overs and soup & sandwichs alot. He doesn't want that, he wants meals. So after my mom works all day, he whines for her to cook and clean. Then he tries to act like this is his house. My moms brother did some work on the house a few weeks ago, and he talked to my mom about it. The boyfriend was like "He should have talked to me. I'm the man of the house. This is my home.". My mom was like "I own this house, I pay the bills, I'm paying for the repairs, so STFU!". I mean really, come on! I could go on for days. But I know my mom isn't happy, she ALWAYS tells me how miserable she is with him here. But she wont make him leave because he has no where to go and she feels bad for him. Oh well, he's gotta go.

BTW incase you wondered where his $1200 a month goes, he has 4 kids all over 30, who don't work and take it all. They call all the time wanting money and not paying it back.

What a day

Wow. Today has been an interesting one to say the least. It was just one thing after another. To begin my day, we received an e-mail from the principal saying we were in a lock down situation. Turns out a mental patient escaped from a mental hospital not far from where I work. He had also been sighted in the area. I don't do well in those situations. I'll post a link to the news article in case your interested.

http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/latest/112942164.html

Ok so that all was going on. Well then during lunch a child choked on his food. I'm talking bright red in the face choking. Luckily a person certified in CPR was able to help him out. I also learned that only 3 people in the entire school are CPR certified. Thats scary! So this summer I'm going to see what I need to do to become certified.

Lastly, a man was there today installing a card swipe thing, I just swipe a card when I go to work & not use a key. Well during lunch(lunch was a busy time) we heard a thud. So everyone was checking on everyone else, trying to figure out where the thud came from. Then we remembered the man installing the thing. We open the door, and there he is, on the ground, out cold. I FREAKED out, my boss was screaming. It was awful! My first thought was "Is he breathing", which thankfully he was. He was out for about ten minutes. When he came though, he wanted to sit up, but the school nurse kept telling him no. He got very "pushy". He was screaming for everyone to get away from him, no one to touch him etc etc etc. Well when the ambulance arrives he REFUSES to go to the hospital. Now mind you, hes puking everywhere, and the back of his head is crushed in. Yes, crushed in. It's a concrete & ceramic floor. Anywho, it took over and hour to get him to finally go with the EMT! He kept insisting he drive himself home. And we had the big people from the school board showing up. Awful! What they think happened was he was on his ladder doing some wire work right inside the ceiling and he got shocked. Had to be a hell of a shock to knock him off the ladder. He fell 5 feet at least and hit that floor. Guys, thats a VERY unforgiving floor. He was lucky to get off of it at all. But that really scared the shit out of me. Only comfort I got from it was with the ambulance and firetruck lights and sirens, I knew the nut case wouldn't have been around there. And if he was, he booked when he saw the lights.


But everyone, that was my day. I hope this means tomorrow & Friday are smooth. I don't think my heart can take it. When I saw that guy laying there, I literally felt sick. When I got the email about the escaped person, I felt sick. When I saw the child choking, I felt sick. So PLEASE let the rest of the week go well.

New Year of possibilites

I love the New Year! It always feels like a fresh start, that nothing can hold me back! I feel like the world is new! I have so many big plans for the new year :) I have two areas in my life I REALLY want to focus on, health & money. Other areas in my life need attention also, but those two are the ones in most need.

As far as health goes, I've got to loose weight. I'm a total fat ass. Some people may find that offensive, but this is my blog, so I don't care. I'm very over weight. While I'm happy, I know this will end up killing me and that scares the shit out of me. So I'll be making better choices for myself. In order to help me with this, I've decided to make some changes to my life style. They are :

-Give up soda. I normally don't drink it all that often. But I go though spurts where I drink WAY too much. Also, when I went back to school this semester, I found myself drinking it a lot more. So I'm going back to teas & water, but mostly water. Good thing I love water :)

-Fast food. I eat it way too much. It's just so convenient when I have classes right after work until 9 at night. It's so easy. But no more. I'm limiting myself to two fast food runs a month. Two is WAY better then 10+. Also, I'll make better choices. Like if I go to McDonalds, get a Happy Meal w/ apples instead of a 10 piece meal with fries. Or Taco Bell, get no sour creme. Also limiting the fast food, will help me with my other New Year theme of money.

-Exercise. I used to love to work out, now I never do. So when the new year starts, I'm going to start with walking. I used to walk EVERYDAY 6+ miles a day. I miss that. That was my "me" time. I'd plug in my ear phones & go. This might help my mental health also :)

I'm sure as I go, I'll find other tips & tricks to help me in this dept. I hope to lose 50+ pounds this year. I know what I want to weigh at this time next year. Lets hope I get there. This isn't just about weight either. This is about my blood pressure and overall health. Diabetes run in my family, I don't have it yet. But if I keep going the way I am, eventually I will.

Now the second area I want to work on in my life is money. I work for a school & only get paid once a month. That alone SUCKS. But the end of the month I'm counting change to put gas in the tank. So I have to be careful. I need to learn I don't make a lot, so I can't spend a lot. After my bills & school payments I'm left with about $330. Not a lot when about $100 of it is gas. But I do have some plans to help me.

-Savings account. Now I can't open this until income taxes come in. Once I open it I'll make monthly deposits. I'm not sure how much atm that will be. Also, in August I'm going to juggle some of my insurances around to save money. So when I do that I will be able to put more up. I'm 24, I need to make some kind of net for myself.

-Sales. I am a sale hound, if it's on sale I by. Need it or not. That has to STOP! So if I don't need it. I'm not getting it. On the other hand, if I need something I'm going to take the time to find a deal, sale, coupon, etc. Example, when I go jean shopping,I need to hunt the clearance racks BEFORE I look at regular priced stuff. I have a bad habit of doing it the other way around, and I spend more and get less that way.

-The limiting my fast food intake, soda in take, getting smaller portions at restaurants will also help with the money issue. I don't even want to know what I spent on food in the last year.

So those are my TWO major areas I want to work on this year. I'll be working on others, but those take priority over others. I'm excited to get started, and hope I can do it :)
