My Life...And Some Thoughts!
Ok, I've been bitched at for slacking off on my posting so here I am...making people happy once again.
Not much going on in my life...Hubby is on his second vacation of the summer and I'm SO ready for him to NOT be on a vacation. We are at each others throats constantly because there just isn't anything left to do. Yes, we could do the camping thing or the beach thing but truthfully, I'm tired of it. The summer is winding down and I'm trying to get into "back to school" mode. 
He's ready to still be go, go, go! We decided to play this vacation day to day. Whatever we want to do when we wake up in the morning is the plan for the day. We all wake up wanting to do SOMETHING but none of us really know exactly what that something is. He spends most of his day out in the shop making his knives pouting because after a very expensive summer so far the funds are exhausted to the point where I don't dare to be quite so spend-thrifty. He pouts because everything we think of to do is something that costs megabucks and he knows we just can't risk it. Our young teen has had a terrible week emotionally. 
A planned double date didn't go as planned and then a very good friend decided to be a little twit and baby gilr got her feelings hurt. Nothing Old Mom and Dad can do about it so she's just spending time alone in her room pondering what happened over and over. Mom, the one that was in the hospital last week is doing better but the meds are taking their toll on her body and she's spending her days on the couch mostly. She's ugly all the time and tends to still take it out on me...although she is mostly bitching about the other grand-daughter (not my child) and her stupid antics that she's been pulling lately. Word of advice to all those 22 year olds out there...
DON'T GET DRUNK AND THEN CALL YOUR GRANDPARENTS TO CRY ON THIER SHOULDER BECAUSE LIFE ISN'T GOING AS PLANNED! You can all go ahead and call your grandparents for advice but don't do it drunk! It really pisses them off.
How about some stuff to think about...this is what has been in my mind lately...
I noticed today that cats eyes don't move. Ever notice that? People have muscles in their eyes that allow movement from side to side and up and down and all around without having to move thier heads. Even Dogs...when they are laying peacefully on the floor they don't have to lift thier head to see what's going on...they just lift up an eyebrow and peek around. But cat's don't have this ability and I just noticed it. Our kitty love his rides to camp...but I can't help but wonder what they see and what they are thinking when the car is going down the road at 55 mph and trees and bushes are zooming by. Do they actually see this? Think aobut it, when we are riding, we have constant eye movement becasue it's too hard to focus on one steady spot. Try looking out the side window the next time you are riding down the road. It'll give you a headache if you think about it too much...trust me. Cats have no eye movement so it can't be too great for the health of thier eyes when they go on those trips to the vets or just for a ride in general. Keep in mind it's only us strange people that take thier cats on car trips!
Something else I've observed lately is the countless amount of money that changes hands at a typical State Fair. I went to our state fair a few days ago and was watching everything going on while hubby was getting some relief in the potty. After paying to get through the gates and for the ride passes and for the greasy food and the cotton candy and the carnival games...OH MY GOSH! Any of us working our hard ass jobs are definitely in the wrong business. Thousands and Thousands of dollars go through a typical fairground in just an hour. And with the price of gas lately and school shopping and family trips and we can't forget those $150 basketball sneaks for our young athlete, you'd think that people would be too broke to head to the fair. NOPE! All walks of life head to the fair as soon as it arrives and many of them don't just go one day. Most go countless times, depending on the length of the fair. And what happens to our children at these things. Young girls, no more than 12 or 13 running around with what little figures they have hanging out of skimpy little tank tops...shorts cut up to thier ya'ya's. All of them out there flaunting what they have for whatever they can get out of these young boys. These are the same young girls that get honor roll and act respectable from September to June. I just don't get it! The next time you head to a fair close to you, stop for a moment and look at what I'm talking about. And think of the endless amount of money being spent, sex being handed out to strangers, and idiotic behavior taking place. And then stop to think WHY you are there. Look around at the people...most you wouldn't want to be seen talking to. But here you are hanging with the best of the worst.
These are just a couple things I've been thinking aobut lately. Hope they made you stop and think about things too...Hope you enjoyed this post.
For those of you who bitched about my slacking, Satisfied??? I promise to try to post more often. Bye All!
