myramblingthoughtsMy Ideas, my thoughts, my everything

Its funny the ads people put out when they are trying to rent their place out. I am currently helping my sister-in-law find a house to rent and some of the ads I have seen have left me in a chuckle. One ad said 3 bedroom house with two bathrooms and they have toilets. Umm dont all bathroom rooms have toilets? Has anyone ever been to a bathroom that doesnt? Another ad I saw mentioned that they had installed led headlamps Which I thought was a good thing if the people looking to rent out place are very conscious about lighting.

I still cant believe how high the rental prices are though. I am so glad we own our own house and our mortgage is less than what these renters are looking for. A year ago I was happy being a renter but now that we own our own place I see the blessing in that. I am thankful that my hubby was set on buying a house and didnt let me talk him out of buying the house.

I get soo happy when my friends join twitter and facebook. I dont  know what it is, but I feel like I can communicate with them better online than I can calling them. I have been on twitter and facebook when they first started and seeing them take off and be so popular amazes me.

I have been sitting here messaging friends before I have to pick up the kids and I have to start dinner. It is hot and muggy outside and I really dont feel like cooking. I wonder if the hubby will settle for some  take-out tonight. I am awaiting his call to see if I have to pick up the kids or if he is going to get them after work.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I have been running the AC nonstop and I dont want to look at my electric bill next month cause I am sure it is going to be through the roof. I need to find a job soon to help out with the bills. I dont even want to think about how we will pay for things once he has his student loan coming in.

My kids started school this week and I have noticed that alot of the kids school work is assigned online. That would be a good thing but not so good for me. I am looking at desktop computer reviews because the desktop computer we had has gone completely dead.

You would think it would be easy to find a good desktop computer but its not. I have to have all kinds of software for my teenager. The hubby needs to have windows office software. I personally like to have photoshop software on mine.

I hope I can find what I am looking for soon. I want a nice flat screen computer monitor to go with the desktop too. I have had nothing but bulky computer monitor’s and its time I joined the new age and have a flat screen. I have always wanted a Apple IMAC but that is just beyond my limit right now.

Everytime I get sick I thank the lord that I have good health care coverage. I sit and think about those people that dont have coverage and I think about the elderly that need medicare supplement plans. I dont ever want to be old and not have good health care coverage.

It’s sad that we live in a world where not everyone has health coverage. If I ever had the power to change things the first thing I would change would be medical coverage for everyone no matter if they had a job or not. Sometimes I think that the world isnt as good as its supposed to be and I cant wait for there to be change for the better not the worse.

I know I put too much thought into everything but that is something thats on my mind.

I have been takiong it easy after last nights attack. I am watching what I am eating today and have been eating things that are very bland. I know I should just go and get my gallbladder out. I am too scared to get surgery and that is what is stopping me. I have good insurance and I consider it up there with Blue Advantage which I heard was one of the best. I really need to get over my fear and just get the freaking thing taken out.

I think I seriously freaked out the hubby after screamming in pain. He had to get up to go to work early and I doubt he had much sleep. I really hope he doesnt make me go to the doctor even though I know I should.

I had the worst night ever!! I had another gallstone attack and these attacks are no joke. I thinke they are worse that giving birth. I have given birth 5 times and the gallstone attacks have been far far worse than the labor and birth of all my babies.

I couldnt take the pain and was about to pass out. I splashed some water and sat down on the floor before I passed out. I would say that the pain lasted a good 4 or 5 hours and slowly subsided. I am wondering what caused the attack this time ?

I was close to going to the hospital but the hospital that is assigned to me is about an hour away. The hospital closest to me sucks and I really did not want to go there. I am gonna watch what I eat today and hope that I dont get another attack anytime soon.

I really need a planner or some kind of reminder to remind me of things. I totally forgot that I had open house today for the kids so now I am running around getting the little kids ready to go to the older kids school. I sometimes wish I could have a clock that would stop time and let me get everything I needed to get done. I would then click on the time again and time would go back to normal and I would have everything done.

I will get off of here and finish getting ready and go buy some cookies to take to the kids classroom

To get my mind off of things I have decided to get my holiday shopping in order. Can you believe that in four months from today it will be christmas. I always start my shopping early because I have to many kids to buy for. My family loves to throw holiday parties and have already stated shopping for holiday invitations to send out.

I swear our family does nothing but party. I love going to their parties and I am just glad that they are not thrown at my house cause the clean-up for those parties is not something I would like to do. If I ever did throw one of those parties I would have a clean up party right after because our family is huge and a party of 20 turns into 100 or so people attending.

There is nothing I hate more than a liar and fake people. I am nothing but honest and I expect my friends or people I consider friends to be the same way with me. I hate people that talk behind other peoples back. I feel like that is so high school and way to childish way to act.

I have never ever been jealous or tried to copy other people. I am not that type to want to be like other people that I must copy their every move. I have my own ideas and thoughts and I never ever want to be like someone so bad that I must buy everything the other person owned.

I like being me and I love being unique so if anyone ever thinks I am copying them or envy them they better say that about someone else cause it’s not me. I love being the way I am and would never be jealous of other people in the least. I will get off the soapbox now.

Do you have any bad habits or little quirks? My little quirk is that I like to collect promotional pens. Every store that I go to that offers free pens with their logo on them I like to get. I can never keep too many pens in this house. For some reason they disappear and when I have to take a message I can never find them.

I like the promotional pens because if I ever need the stores number their are conviently on the pen. Quite truthfully I think that any item with a logo from a place is great advertisement because everyone loves free swag and if your logo is on it people will know about your place and get stuff from there.

If I ever have my own business I am going to set up a bunch of promotional pens and stationary to give out and promote my business that way. Until then though I will keep collecting my promotional pens whenever I go to a place that offers them. I cant help but love free swag, dont you ?
