Wal-Mart Discount

Ahhhh I love my Wal-Mart discount. It makes me feel privileged. Low prices HA! I get them even LOWER!!! Because my husband is now a Wal-Clone who gives up his real life for Wal-Mart, I can get things cheaper!! I know it is only 10% but it is better than nothing. Last night I went to buy the Wahl Hot Air Styler Plus. It just makes my day to have the register ring up $19.77, slide my card through and have it read $17.80. That $2 adds up people. I wish that Wal-Mart owned everything in the world and we could get it cheaper......

Examples: Wal-Burger, Wal-Hair, Wal-Gas, Wal-Cars, Wal-Phone, Wal-Electric.....When does it stop? WHEN DOES IT STOP??????

It feels like Wednesday

Why oh why am I wishing my life away? The calendar says it's Tuesday but it feels like Wednesday!!!

Josh seems to having a good time on his pilgrimage. He is staying with a guy from Reno and a guy from Alabama. He toured "The Home Office" yesterday and had lunch at the cafe there. He has homework that he has to work on each night. This week he is learning about operation of a Photo/Connect Center and next week he learns technical/maintenance of the machines. Then the day before he leaves he gets his Wal-Implant (That is what my co-worker says) so that he becomes the Wal-Clone perfect employee.

I was informed that my future brother-in-law got a job in Clintonville. I am happy that he got the job, because that is what he wanted. I just don't want him taking my sister away. She will be 2-3 hours away from all of her family. I guess that I always hoped that we would all live within an hour of each other and our parents and be able to get together on the weekends. I guess that I was just fooling myself. I always wanted my children to be near their grandma and grandpa, and I wanted them to hang out with their cousins. I had my cousin Chelsea that I played with almost every weekend. I loved that!! I wanted the same for them.

I am not sure where our lives will head. Where Wal-Mart will take us next. I guess I have to get used to the idea of being away from my family........ Damn It!!!

What Is The Name of This Game?

Congratulations to North Carolina!!!!! Congrats to ME!!!!!!!!!!!

I am tired Good night!!!

Damn Tired

I hate daylight savings time. The springing forward is always the worst. Instead of getting up at 5:30am as usual it felt like 4:30am. It is hard enough to get up at 5:30 as it is. Now it is that much harder. I know I will adjust, but not soon enough.

What really didn't help was the fact that I scared shitless to fall asleep last night. Jackson didn't want to go to sleep. He knew that someone was missing. So he kept barking at the door. I would tell him to get into bed. He would sit on the bed until I started to relax, then he would get up again and whine at the door. This my trusty guard dog. The one who barks at a piece of dust falling to the floor. I was uneasy, I don't like being alone. I was even more of a wreck because our bedroom door doesn't lock.

WHAT IF SOMEONE BREAKS IN????

I tossed and turned over that thought for a while. I don't want to sleep with Josh's 22 pistol under the bed. I would probably end up shooting myself in the foot in an emergency situation. I then got up and grabbed the phone. I then wondered if I should get the other handset too. You know the robber could get on the phone and screw up my dialing and I would never get 911. Then I realized that the keytones were turned on. So I spent 5 minutes figuring out how to turn them off. I then wondered what I would do since the bedroom door didn't lock. I figured that I would run into our bathroom and lock the door. I am still undecided if I will be taking Jackson into the bathroom with me or leave him to the robbers. Then Randy came home and I fell asleep because I figured that if he heard a lot of noise he would call 911 for me.

I hope that I sleep better tonight!!!

Only The Lonely

Well, Josh has made is pilgrimage to Mecca. I only wish he wasn't going to be gone this long. When I dropped him off at the airport today I said good-bye for 12 LONG days. Aside from a summer in college I have never lived alone. Even during that time Josh and I were dating so it wasn't like I was living alone so we spent almost every night together. Since Josh and I made the commitment to our relationship about 4 years ago this will be the longest I have been without seeing him. During the time that I was between school and work I spent almost every weekend with him. Since we lived together the longest we have been apart is the week that Mom, Danny and I went to Florida.

Josh and I have gone through a rough week preparing for him to go. We have been at each other's throats all week. If it wasn't me getting mad at him for letting the laundry "die" in the dryer, he was mad at me for telling him he couldn't buy parts for his paintball gun. So maybe his trip was timed perfectly, but it is still going to be hard. I am glad that I have my little Jackson to come home to. He has been snuggling with me all day. I am sure that he wonders what is going on. I left today with Josh and came home along. He looked really confused when I returned home alone.

So, off I go to sleep in my Queen size bed all alone. I will enjoy the extra space but, I will miss the safety and comfort I feel with Josh beside me.
