Shuey’s Life

As much as I was saddened to here Michael Jackson died, I wasn’t surprised.  When someone has had that many medical procedures I can’t see how they can be a healthy person.

I may not have liked Michael Jackson as a person, but I liked him as a musician.  I grew up listening to him thanks to my aunt who was 14 years older than me and obsessed with Michael Jackson.

So here’s a little tribute.

Jon & Kate Plus 8…Yep…we all saw it coming. We knew they’d end up splitting up, but tonight I saw another side of Jon that I was really hoping wouldn’t come out. I saw the side of an inconsiderate selfish person who seems to be out for himself and only himself. I know I’ll get bashed for saying that, but seriously! I know Kate has been a bitch, ran the marriage, and all that, but tonight all I heard was Jon whining about how he needs this and he needs that and she ran everything while HE sat back quietly and let her.

Keyword there…he let her!

Jon, grow up already. You gt tired of taking care of your family, you missed being the party boy, so you went out and did what you wanted to do. Then you got busted, and now all we hear is how she treated you. Ya know what? Who let Kate run everything?

I’m so glad the whole “secret” is out because I’m so tired of hearing about it constantly. I’m tired of a show I used to love to watch being turned into a drawn out way for two people to communicate when they can’t talk face to face. At least now we can get back to what’s important, and the whole reason we watch the show in the first place, the kids.

What can I say? Father’s Day definitely didn’t go as we had planned this weekend. There were no gifts or nice dinners out. Instead Hubby and his dad spent most of the weekend trying to figure out what they’re going to do to provide for our families. Hubby’s dad worked right along side him, and in turn he’s lost his job as well.

Thankfully neither one of our dads care too much about material things, and they were just happy to spend time with their kids. I’ll actually be spending the evening with my dad tonight to make up for the fact that we couldn’t spend time together this weekend.

Maybe next year we’ll be in a position again to buy them the nice gifts we wanted to get them this year, and if we are I’ll definitely go out of my way to make up for it with bigger and better gifts.

I’d seriously like to order them both a Rolex from www.bestoftime.com. My dad used to have an awesome Rolex that he loved, and my sister and I ended up playing with it one day until we broke it. I can only imagine how it’d make him feel to receive a new one from me. I can dream can’t I? Oh, and if I can afford one next year I’ll definitely get him one. Normally I’d be skeptical of making such a large purchase online, but bestoftime.com has an A+ rating with the BBB. They also provide a 3 year warranty and free shipping, so it’s an idea I’ll keep in the back of my mind.

Oh who am I kidding? The situation we’re stuck in right now requires dreaming about buying nice things (even though I’ve never been a material kind of person) just to keep pushing on. At least I know no matter what my family is still here with us, and they’re worth more than any Rolex I could ever buy.

I’m so steaming mad right now I want to beat the living daylights out of Hubby’s boss. Hubby just called to say that all this bs his boss has been giving them about being out of work for 5 weeks then starting a 5 year contract is exactly that…total bull!

The truth is that job is on hold until at least 4 or 5 more lots are sold in the subdivision, and that could be awhile. That means that as of Monday morning Hubby is officially out of work for good.

There are absolutely NO jobs around here right now, especially nothing that pays enough for us to stay afloat on one salary alone. We were extremely thankful that Hubby was working a job with such a great salary, and now we’re technically screwed unless some miracle happens. I can’t exactly find a new job right now. It’s not like employers, especially when the job mark is already extremely slim, are dieing to hire pregnant women.

Yeah…I’m definitely ready to pull my freakin’ hair out.

This is definitely going to be an interesting weekend as I’m going to have so much to do. I still haven’t even really begun to get myself ready for the yard sale that we’re supposed to have next weekend.

Every single time I start to pull a box out of a closet or go through a basket of clothes I’ve set aside something comes up, and I have to take care of something else. If I don’t have a chance to finally go through everything I want to sell this weekend we’ll have to postpone the yard sale for a couple of weeks. I’d kind of like to do that anyway if we can just because I have 2 friends who were going to join us for a multi-family sale, but neither of them can do it this weekend.

With the weekend after that being the 4th of July I don’t know if it’d be a good time to sell or not. Yes there are more people off work and out and about heading to the lake, but how many of them are going to want to take time away from their Independence Day festivities to stop at yard sales?

Anywho I probably won’t be around much tomorrow or this weekend. I promised my dad I’d help him try to get the hay up out of the most recently cut field before it’s rained on, but depending on the weather we could be doing that at any time.
