Weekend @ the jewel of NC!! Statesville! Hangin' with muh mum

Going to Statesville!! ITs where I'm from. It s where my friends are. Its where I'm from. **Expletive** Statesville!! Hey Hey! I am a Christian now. none of the filthy talk. Unless I'm really really angry!!! GRRRRRR!!!!! I have a meeting with my boss today. Mid year stuff. I need to ask what in the world I need to do to get a huge bonus again next year. My old boss and I hated each other but we needed each other. He had my money and I had his 100 cases a day. BOOyah! Now I am not sure what I need to do. I could not sleep last night. Olga went up to Statesville early so I was all alones in muh creepy ghetto house. I watched the last king of scotland. It was okay. I did not like it much. I will always see Forest Whitaker as the black samarai in ghost dog. pure silliness. He played Idi Amin. He was a crazy dictator that was a mass murderer ala Adolf Hitler. It was not about him really at all. It was about this goofy scottish doctor that was Idi's doctor. Mayham ensues for 2 hours the end. I downloaded two episodes of House to my trusty PMP. I can't get enough of the witty banter. I am getting old. Then I started Lord of the Rings. It is sooo long that I had to fast forward through the last parts to get it all on the disc. It was stupid. That movie is 2 1/2 hours long. I also downloaded some more weezer, eels, and Tom Waits. Waits has got to be faking that weird throated singing voice.

5th element at work today

I downloaded the 5th element onto my PMP and I will watch it at work today. Angel saw a big fat guy with no shirt on yesterday and she said "I feel like my childhood has been stolen." pretty funny. I think that she is absorbing my idiotic sense of humor. The other day she was at walmart with olga and she asked what it would be like if everyone wore the underware pulled over there shirts. I blame the water in Concord. Yesterday I asked my next door neighbor how much he was paying to have siding put on his house and he said he did not know. I think he must have been crazy. The siding looks nice. The house will go up up up in value now. I need to either paint or get the house sided. I still can't believe that guy did not know how much he was paying. He must have been scared of me. White guy! eeeek! Run!!!

KHAAAAANNNN!!! Trekko and new songs

I downloaded some new songs and recorded Star Trek revenge of khan to my fancy media recorder yesterday. Petty Weezer Tobymac SuperChick Eels and U2. I like easy listenin in my old age. I played my guitar and messed around with my B2 bass processor. I like using bass stuff with the guitar, it gives it an incredible edge. The distortions are good and the EQ is really good. It also has all of the modulation settings any nutty bass player needs, like Octave, phaser, wah, and super pitch shifter for irritating the locals. It also has a built in drum machine. The drum machine is crazy. It has everything a lone musician needs to be pathetic. Sometimes my 2 year old will come in and beat on the drums with me. Nothing is more sad than a guy in a room full of instruments that he can play but he is alone and can't play them all at the same time, Ha!

The new baby will be here soon and then 2 weeks of vacation and then 4 more weeks of making sure Olga does not lift anything. Then back to school. CPA is in sight! just 5 more classes. I can make it. Then 1 and 1/2 years and I will have the Masters degree. Then I can be a super financial geek with a high degree. Liberty U is a very good school and it is not ridiculously hard. I still can't figure out if I have gotten smarter or that the classes are easier. UNCC was such a cesspool. I could have gotten through Liberty in no time. UNCC crappy state run loony bin. I have the degree on my wall though. I can say I got through it. Well back to work. I need to clean some more financial folders so we can add more useless folders and then clean those out too. They say that this is accounting/financial experience.

new bed, found my watch, redecorated room

We got our new bed on saturday. It is pretty nice and we saved about 300 $. We also bought a bed in a bag to redecorate. The carpet is still not due til maybe tomorrow. I hate home depot. They have ripped me off too many times. 3 water heaters, 2 broken heaters a faulty washing machine, the accusation that I was trying to steal insulation. They are big jerks. Now they are saying oh the carpet is being shipped in from over seas and it won't be here for a while. When we moved my bed I found my watch. I like this watch and I lost it a long time ago and now it is found! Muh precious! now I am back at work. not much else to say.

talk show meeting, so tired

We had a big meeting with the CEO in this big talk show like meeting. All of the execs were on a stage and it was really high production. Like laser lights and videos and stuff. I am still kindof mystified that the CEO of the company comes and speaks to us pions. It is very nice. I ate like 5 kashi bars, almonds and grains, and drank two MT. Dews. whooohooo. My concerns about Fire international were validated by the Lord yesterday. I was reading about this guy named Steve Hill. He used to be one of the pastors for the brownsville debacle. He basically took the revival for all of the money he could by lying signs and wonders and then quit. The church is in shambles and barely making ends meet, and this guy is as rich as rich can be. So I am driving home and I see the Fire church sign and it says "Fire School welcomes Steve Hill!!" That was very nice.

New Cars, Troubles, and Lemons

I am getting a new car. It is my mom's old car. I am very happy to get it. I am kindof sad to be getting rid of my old car. I have really grown to love that car. I have loaded all kinds of junk in that car. That car took us to washington dc to see the sights. We went to the mountains in that car, and it took me to work 500 times. It barely has a/c or heat and it stalls at lights. I haven't changed the oil in 6000 miles and the breaks are bad. What a great car! Good bye nice car. The baby is due in like 4 weeks. Isabella Schaber. It will be nice to finally get it done. I will also get a nice 2 week vacation. JD is at camp. I hope he is having fun, and hope he does not get in any trouble. The stupid washing machine is still wobbly and the repair people say that it is the floor. I guess I have to go under the house and jack the floor for stabilization and then build up the floor to level. I did not want to have to do that. I told the repair guy that I wish I could take the washer back and get a crappy one that would work better. This will be the last maytag that I own. The dryer is wonderful. no problems.

Claudia's quote for the day:
"Winkle, Winkle, Winkle, Winkle, Winkle STAR. up the sky. MOOOOOON!!! Daddy."

Shakers, quakers, and washing machines oh my!

My stupid washer is still shaking. I strengthened the floor and leveled it. Still bad. Self leveling yeah right. I will call them again, and ask that they don't send the same fat smelly know it all as last time. My 200$ did not shake like this 550 $ washer. It will work out. The Lord says that he causes the rain to fall on the righteous and the wicked. I guess we are getting the hail. I have a sinus infection, and took a quarter day off from work to sleep. I am so intense. No rest for me ever. Most people would have taken the full day. Just shoot me up with drugs and set me off! Claudia's quote for the day:
"I hungry!" Olga says,"you're hungry?" Claudia says,"I not hungry!!"
I put in solar lights outside. They are very nice. gotta go I feel woozie.....

My husband is making write about the weekend, I would much rather be solving questions on Answer Yahoo

Ladies and gentlemen of the blog world. I am writing this today, because my entertainment was not productive in my husband's mind, (ha, ha, ha).

Well, on Saturday we went my niece's High School Graduation, I was so very proud of her, I even cried. I have been worried many times that she would not make it. She has fantastic plans to go to college. The ceremony was held outside and it was very hot, we were late and there was no where to sit. On top of that I am eight months pregnant and big as house I cannot seem to get up by myself, my feet are swollen and it hurts to stand for a long period of time ( how pitiful). Then after that we went to the graduation party for my niece, it was great, not, everyone was smoking, drinking and cussing . My sister my nieces mother was not even allowed to come to the party because of my nieces dad's girlfriend who has severe issues, She had a hissy fit when my sister attempted to take a picture of the 3 of them (the dad, daughter, and girlfriend). Which is really stupid drama. We did not stay long. I love my niece but really I could not be in the house it was very uncomfortable. Then we met my sister for lunch at CiCi's Pizza. I left the children with Ryan and we had a great day of shopping and eating out, of course all I bought was a cat bowl and flip-flops. I had lobster for the first time. It was fantastic. My Sister's Boyfriend runs and manages a restaurant on South Blvd. It was very good and very romantic and very quaint. I would go again. On the outside it seems like a biker bar bar but when you go in it is very nice. It's not cheap either, it is a very upstanding restaurant. I brought Ryan home my steak and he said it was the best steak he had ever had. It was a great over all day.

On Sunday, went to church, then we went to rooms to go in Charlotte. We are looking for a new mattress. I just don't see spending so much money on one. It just wasn't the right deal. I asked God to provide one for us at a price that we can afford, and I believe he will. Several months ago, I asked for a trampoline and a swing set for free. Ryan not convinced started looking to purchase one the whoa and behold God gave us both for free. God provides all my needs and sometimes throws in things I really want. We went to a couple of other stores too. We were looking for clothes for Angel, she desperately needs summer clothes. We came home that was our day.

I see that he prays so I will do the same.

Dear Father; I thank you for this day, I thank you for my children, I thank you for my children, I thank you for this fantastic life you have given me. Lord I ask for a good week this week that will enrich and bless us greatly. I ask you to help Angel with her testing tomorrow. I pray for patience towards my children this week, and that I will be a good mom. I ask that you will give Ryan spiritual guidance for home and work. I pray you will help us to break Jd's cycle of rudeness. In Jesus name Amen

Yard work. Walmart. ugggg..

I bought some more plants at Walmart, did not get enough dirt. One of my trees died. I buried it by throwing it into the woods. Claudia thought that was great. I had to spend the next half hour telling her not to pull up my other trees that are still alive. I am such a bad influence. I hung up discipline charts. To discipline. Such fun. I put together the bench I bought 3 months ago finally. For 34 $ you can't beat it. It took me a long time. My dad is coming to help me stretch the wire fence. I hat admitting defeat. He asked me if I asked Olga's dad if he could help. I told him I did not feel like being lectured by Rick. I posted comments on Brian's blog. He still does not check them. I don't know why I bother.

Prayer: Dear Father. I pray for my church that they will stay doctrinally sound and not fall into blaspemy. I also pray for my children that their discipline will improve. In Jesus name I pray amen.

JD and the Major Breakdown

JD had a crying breakdown at the kitchen table. He was sad because he misses his friends from kindergarden. I don't understand it at all. I finally got rid of the horrible VHS tapes, except for the kids tapes. I have to replace most of them with DVDs. $$$!!! The CEO is coming to our floor to walk around. He is a pretty cool guy. Super intellectual no non sense guy. I will so be out to lunch. Better safe than sorry. We went through 4 bags of clothes yesterday, only 56 more to go. We have extra pack rat clothes in the attic. I guess just in case we lose weight or something. : ) I got the netflix deal yesterday as a surprise for the family it is a pretty good deal. You can watch movies on the internet as well. I always hated blockbuster and I don't like giving them my money. I was thinking about our presidential candidates, and I have come to the conclusion that we are completely screwed. I think it will come down to Hillary Clinton, which most people are really voting for Bill because they believe that he will help her. That is very stupid. Hillary is a super head strong and stubborn. She will not allow him to be in the picture at all. If you vote for Hillary, you get Hillary. The Republican candidate will probably be Fred Thompson or Rudi. Honestly I think Rudi has a better chance at winning than Fred does. Who wouldn't want to have a president that has such a gangster name. HEY I'm Guliani! Shoot dis guy! Putin, WHO the H*ll is Putin. Put im' in da lake!

Dear Father, JD needs help coping with his emotional problems. Give us the wisdom and the patience to deal with him properly. In Jesus name I pray Amen.

Clean! Clean! Clean! Pain! Yelling! Sleep!

We cleaned up my son and daughters room, and I tried to install a ceiling fan in the sunroom. The stupid wire box is loose so I had to brace it, then I got the light and fan engine up and turned it on and it sounds like a plane engine. WRRRRRRSSSSSSZAAAAA!!!!!! Junk fan light must go back. I had an argument with the wife this morning. I complain about stuff and I guess I went too far. My fault, apologized, wife still mad. The maytag people have to come out and fix the door on the oven and I have to reevaluate the levelness of the washer and dryer. They are very nice appliances. Claudia my 2 year old got in my face and told me "I love you forever, and I go no where". It was sooo cute. My 8 year old told me to lick his feet and I nearly came unglued. He spent the next hour in the chair and then cleaning for the rest of the night. Don't disrespect the Dad. He also started crying in front of a little girl that was at our house. I could not believe it. I felt embarassed for him. It did not faxe him at all. I just have nightmares about him growing up and driving women away with whining and crying. That won't really happen. He likes all attention focused on him, he can be difficult. We need more consistancy, Olga says. He is still a good boy, at least he does not kick and scream. I downloaded some weezer songs and Tom Petty. Good stuff. They replaced me as the youth bass player. I could not keep playing with the kids though. I felt wierd. I am also so busy with all this extra stuff and school. I took my guitar amp home. They were playing bass through it. That is a no-no. Guitar through a bass amp fine bass through a guitar amp no. I setup a lonely guy band in the sunroom. I have a drum machine and two amps, a mic, my guitar, and an octave setting on my bass multi effects. It is kindof depressing. I can only sing certain things and my range is ridiculously small. The church band never practices and I can feel my skills corroding. Maybe when the church building is finished we will do something.

Good Sunday, Start of another week

We went to church and I got to play music for the first time in 3 weeks. I was rusty and I really need to play music with people once in a while. I miss it alot sometimes. One of the singers asked Pastor Matt to pray for her itchy sunburned back and He said dear Father please provide her with wisdom to use sunscreen Lord. It was pretty funny. Angel finally got the money from the church to go to camp. I don't know why they did not want to give us assistance. Maybe it is my fat bling bling or my awsome dented up car that smells like feet and has the bare minimum capicity to stop when the brakes are applied. Perhaps it is my cribby yellow mansion in the heart of the downtown Concord ghetto. I saw a crack head and a pimp near my house the other day. The guy was really strange he kept ichting himself and moving eratically. He had a stick and kept hitting the ground with it. Just another colorful local that needs to be in prison. He will be soon enough anyway. Every summer these people get stranger and stranger. Last year it was the crazy coke dealing rastafarian that went crazy and started throwing shoes in our yard and telling me that he knew I was that guy that murders people. Weirdo. I cleaned up the sunroom and reset up my sons computers. We had a long talk about people that care about things and people that do not care about things. He had all of his computers. 3 old computers. disconnected and laying all over the place. I managed to hold my temper. I messed with the fence some more and I could not get it to work. I will have to go with wood. I can pound nails. I was very tired and Olga wanted to go grocery shopping. I hate grocery shopping. I was really worried for some reason about how much we were spending. I even accused Olga of impulse shopping! I get pretty stupid when I am tired and irritable. She said what am impulse buying? laundry detergent, soup, orange juice. That was really funny. I have to lift everything because Olga has a hernia and can't lift anything, and it is stressful. anyway we only spent 154$ which is way below the usual 200$. Olga did manage to get some reeses, 4$ worth of cherries, CD-Rs, and supplies to make rice pudding, Yuck, oh and 2.50$ for scooby doo push ups that were nasty. If I kept my mouth shut we probably would have spend less. I like to think that by complaining like a ninny that it helps us save money, but in reality it makes Olga want to spend more to get even. HAhahah!!!

Prayer for the day: Dear Father please help the people in our church that have medical problems and heal them if it is your will. Please expand my wifes understanding of correct biblical doctrine and help me to better see different points of view. In Jesus name I pray Amen.

Today we went to the lake. We played in the sand and we all had a very good time. Claudia was very scared of the water at first and then I pretended that I was a boat and she started to have lots of fun. JD refuses to learn how to swim, he is very stubborn. For the 8th straight day I have not gotten to watch Flags of our fathers for goodness sakes. The lake beach is much nicer than it used to be. It has showers and nice bathrooms and changing rooms. We went to golden corral and we ate too much!

The great fridge scare

Yesterday was fun. The Refridgerator compressor stopped working, but not to worry I fixed it. We all went to the Library and Angel got the library job. Only 2 hours a week. What a job! For the record straight 6th day! No Flags of our fathers! I helped our friend cindi and her brother put our old washer and dryer in their truck. Today we get our new appliances! The floor under the washer and dryer was very nasty. I have to put down some plywood under it so we don't rot out the floor. We go swimming at lake norman tomorrow. It's free! With a family of 5 you have do everything on the cheap. I hate being cheap, but we live on one income, not two like 90 % of the people out there that have to have dual incomes. It is nice coming home and the house has been cleaned and there is food. Homemakers have got it harder than anything. Running errands is a pain in the neck. Dealing with the kids all alone for almost an entire day would drive me batty nuts.

Prayer for today: Lord I pray that I will be able to really start clearing this 160 account. I pray that my children will be well behaved, and I pray for better understanding and wisdow in my daily life. I also ask that Olga's health problems will stop, and she will feel great all the days of her life. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
