Way too many commitments...

I have decided that I have way too many commitments. There are too many people that depend on me for physical help! I'm conflicted. I have to miss my daughter's field trip today because I forgot about it and my MIL needs me to help her pack today. This is the only time I can help her, because I work on the weekends and she works all week. I had also told a friend that I could babysit her daughter today, but when she asked me yesterday, uh-oh...forgot about that too. She's okay with it. Not even mad at me. For that, I am greatful. Mom called me yesterday because I need to get some boxes in the mail to my sister that lives overseas. She wants me to do it today. Does anyone else see a pattern here? I have overextended myself once again! I am going to have to say no to people next week, as it's Spring Break and I will be watching kids all day nearly everyday. I think that I should have them send some food or something so it's not so hard on the pocketbook.

Anyway...that's just today, let's see what tomorrow will bring.

Just for kicks...

Let's assume that I am feeling good. (Big stretch, as my back is killing me!) And let's assume that because I'm feeling fine that I can do just about whatever I want to. Now, what do I do? Do I go outside and play with the kids? (Who are, by the way, driving me INSANE!) Do I send them outside and hide from them? Or do I just sit here on the computer and pretend to be deaf? All of these options are very much a viable thing. So, WHAT would you do? Please don't everyone answer at once...

Just another day...not.

Okay, so I should have posted this when it happened, but I am getting it done now.

I got a call from a collections company and the guy was soooo mean (yes, mean, not rude). First, he called asking for my mom or dad. When I called back, it was actually me this guy was looking for. So he asked me if I knew how to get in touch with "Jen," and I said that it was me. And he then proceeded to get very mean and rude and all that. I hung up on him and he called me back. When I didn't answer the phone when he called me back, he left a message and then hung up and called back, getting the answering machine everytime, about 6 times in less than 2 minutes. After that, I picked it up and asked him for his company's information. He refused. All I could get from him was the spelling of his last name. I hung up and he called back, I answered and he said to me, and I quote, "Get a job, Jenny, and stop mooching off your husband!" That really got to me. I told him that he didn't know me to talk to me that way. I also asked him if he thought I was below him, to which he answered, yes. The conversation ended with him hanging up on me. I didn't call back.

I have since written letters to the company this guy is with, the company that placed the account with them, and the Attorney General's Office. I hope this guy gets the help he needs and gets fired for talking to me the way he did.

Okay, that's off my chest. I am thinking that I need to contact a lawyer to sue him for speaking to me like that. I will never get over this.

Birthdays!!!

So it was Joe's 43rd birthday on Monday and today is my neice, Erin's 12th birthday, and this coming Monday will be Joey's 4th! and that's just this week...lol. We are going to got to Medievil Times for Joe's birthday. We are going to stay overnight, sans kiddos! We all know what that means...lol. I get to sleep in the same bed as my hubby! Go me! I'm not sure which weekend this will be, so will update when it happens...

On a different note, I am about 6 weeks behind in my literature class. I know, I'm bad. But I do have everything written out so I can catch up without being hooked up to this machine. (A laptop would make this so much easier...hint hint)

For Joey's birthday, we will most likely be going to Chuck E. Cheese's. I need to go call my neice and wish her a "Happy Birthday!"

Busy, busy, busy me....

Okay. I know I'm a very busy person. So, what? Does that mean that I need to slow down? Do I have to quit doing the things I love? No. It just means that if you need to contact me, you will have to do it on my terms, when it is convenient for me. Selfish? No. I'm not selfish. I am the most giving person that I know. If I am accused of being selfish, then that is their opinion. I will be selfish with the little free time that I have. No one will tell me how to spend what little time I have for myself. Yes, I know. This has nothing to do with being a mommy, but hey, now everyone knows what's going on.

Anyway. I just wanted to say, I'm a busy person!
