Can we say I'm REALLY BAD!!!

Well I guess we have all figured out that taking the time, and remembering to blog, is not my strong suit!!!!! I'm happy anymore that I can remember there is a computer in the house let alone how to use it!

There are babies popping up all around me! My neighbor had hers about a month ago (a boy). One of my sisters had hers a couple weeks ago (a boy). My oldest sister is due soon... and guess what A boy. My sister in law is pregnant, my husbands bestfriends wifes daughter is pregnant. HA say that one three times fast. There were two others too, but I can't think of them at the moment. So what I would like to know, WHEN IS IT MY TURN????? Now don't get me wrong. It isn't that I hate people getting pregnant just because I am having a hard time. I am very happy for everyone who is pregnant. I am most happy for Carlene right now, because she understood what it was like getting frustrated because of no results.

So I have started a new project... yeah I know like I don't have enough. I was looking around the house and decided, it was more than time to paint the trim and the doors. Why you might ask? Because they are GROSS! Not only are they a dirty tan color, they just haven't been taken care of. So of course because it is something I wanted to do it is going to be a complete pain in the butt. Now I can't take off trim, because it is on there so well and tight, that taking it off destroys it. So I have to do all the trim in the house. I do get to take off the doors, and the cupboard doors and drawers and sand those outside. So that is good. To make matters worse, the last time they were painted, and I am pretty sure all the times they were painted, the paint was oil based Gloss. So I have to sand down the the last paint level, and ruff it up enough to where it isn't glossy anymore, in order to paint it and actually have it stick. Because let me tell you, NOTHING likes to stick to oil based gloss paint!!!!!! So be happy for me. I just got done painting the hallway cupboard door the other day. Now I am just waiting for it to completely dry and not be sticky before I can put it back on. Whomever painted last also decided A) not to even bother taking off the doors to paint and B) that they were just going to just not let the hinges get in the way and do a really bad paint job over them. Now the bad thing about that. They are SOLID BRASS. Not the new brass, which is lighter in color, and not solid. This stuff is the real thing! And they just paint over it!!!! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? I also can't do some of the doors until after summer. There would be no point in doing them with Jacob here, because they would just get ruined, or destroyed out of anger.

So that is my big honken plans. Aren't they so exciting. It is pretty sad that the biggest thing I am looking forward to is sanding, painting, and a new Rice cooker/ Food steamer. What a thrill huh?

I am not at all looking forward to summer. Jacob is of course getting worse. He now has Vandalism on his school record. His teacher next year is going to hate him before he even get in there. Tammy (the ex, and mother) finally signed him up to be placed in a special ed class next year. We will see how that goes. Mark said, that if things keep going like they have been that he is going to do everything in his power to get her to fork him over so he can actually get the help he needs and the discipline. Not looking forward to that either. But what can one do. I am so stressed out by that kid. Last weekend I was told by him that I am the most evil person, and that the world would be better off if I would just die! This is what I get thrown at me EVERYDAY by him.

Anyway, I gotta run. Gotta gather tools together for dad coming over tomorrow and all that fun stuff. Than I gotta start sanding the door I took off last night. WOOHOO.
