So my parents and Roberto are fixing to leave to go camping for 10 days at Roaring River. I don't want to go. Are you kidding me? 10 days in a bus with my family fighting over one tv? No thanks. I plan on going up one day next week to hike and eat and stuff, but I'm not ready for a week of torturous family time.
Our air conditioner has been having problems though and so the ac professionals are going to come out this week and tear out the old one and rebuild it on a firmer foundation because it's been leaking condensation and water like crazy the past week onto the carpet in the bathroom. Dad finalllly started shop vaccing it out a couple days ago, and I finally asked him why he didn't just use our shampooer to suck up the gushy carpet water. I'm a genius right? So anyways, they've been tinkering with the ac and the electrical wires and they've torn out 2 walls of paneling (yes, paneling) and I'm thinking the way that my luck goes, I'm going to be trapped at home for 10 days with my cat with either no power or no ac. Looking forward to some alone time and getting my laundry done, all 6 loads-how I want- and to CLEAN the snot out of this house. I try to stay in my room at all times when I'm here because the state of the junk piles on every surface just frustrate me and stress me out so bad. And the laundry smells. You can bet I'll be rewashing all the "linens" this week. Grrr. I went and checked that Mom's keyboard was still in the motor home- there's a HUGE space under the master bed in there. I know where I'll be storing my next body. WOOT.
Tuesday, I had an interview at Bright Haven Learning Center in Springdale. It's basically a Christian childcare center. I have an "observation interview" Monday morning. Wish me luck and pray for me. I'm officially out of money and savings. Taking care of mom and entertaining her and cooking and cleaning pays squat around here. It really stresses me out. I think I've figured out that it's not that I "can't sleep", it's that I can't fall asleep. No matter when I take my meds my doctor has me on, I can't fall asleep til after 4am and love to sleep til 2pm. This sucks. Especially when I need to do something the next day.
I went to FPL twice this week with Mom. I've been checking out Dvds. So far I've watched, Joe versus the Volcano, The Color Purple, Bridges of Madison County, City of Angels, Blue Valentine, The Reader, Return to Snowy River, Bullit, and Memoirs of a Geisha. Next is Cool Hand Luke.
Next week I want to go take advantage of the chairs that overlook the downtown and some Arsagas. Who doesn't love arsagas #amiright? Mom got the new testament on tape, and i got slaughter house five. I'm excited.
Ya'll- I have been eating better this week for sure. Not only are we out of the little debbies that I like, but I have been making these awesome salads everyday. I bought a container of dark greens and have been adding cucumber, an enitre carrot, bacon strips, sharp cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and zesty italian dressing.
RECIPE
Lately, I have been marinating chicken breasts in a huge squeeze of zesty italian dressing in a ziplock and then broiling it the next day. I also chunk up sweet potatoes and regular potatoes with the peels still on them, put thm on a cookie sheet and drizzle with oil and then shake fajita seasoning on them- like taco seasoning,but it's fajita, and then roll them around with my hands to get a good coat and then broiling them. The potatoes take about 12-15 minutes, and the chicken no more than 15 if you cut it up in nugget size pieces. YUMMMO. The dressing really makes the chicken TENDER and flavorful and the oil and seasoning add flavor to both potatoes plus they kinda fry up like fried potatoes. Yum. It's really good on my salad too. If you're keeping tabs, Hugo doesn't like cheerios, carrots, cucumbers, or sweet potatoes.
Here's a video of my lil one eating lettuce.
He's enjoying Mommmy's salad choice too:

Also, I really wanna open the courts back up!!! Who wants to give me some moneys?! I want to do a family style dining in the back, and do a bakery up front. If this daytime daycare thing doesn't work out, I will definitely see what I can do to get that MAYBE started. Gosh. What a dream job.
If you are on twitter, you know that I'm basically a retweeter. My handle is amberdtyree by the way.
Here's some tweets from some of my followers that I found hilarious and want to share with you.
-I dream of the day when someone orders a #2 at a fast food place, that the cashier drops his pants, poops on a tray, and hands it to them.
-The suggestion box at my work flushes. :(
-Everytime the doorbell rings, my dog runs for the door. I don't know why. It's never for him.
-Instead of bear arms, I'd rather have the right to giraffe legs. Let's move on this one Obama!
Ok More thoughts later.
Big Love to my T boys Tyler and Terry, Ash, Jenny, Kate, and Rugo :)
