Awwwww

Well it looks like I didn't win the powerball. I only got one number :o(

There is always Saturday. Now it is even more millions.

Happy Valentine's Day

It is Valentine's Day again. I had a decent day. My husband and I both had the day off together and school was back in since the snow. So we had the whole morning/afternoon alone together. My husband gave me a really pretty card and a dozen roses. They are a pretty pink color, lighter pink almost white at the bottoms with the color getting darker as it goes up to the tips of the petals. I gave him a suggestive/humor card and a book titled "101 Ways to Spoil Your Wife." I also bought the matching book for myself, mostly so he wouldn't be offended.

Since we had the day off together we went out to breakfast. Then we went to a nice restaurant together for lunch because we wouldn't be alone for dinner. We went to Red Lobster for lunch. For dinner we went out to dinner as a family.

We spent some time at the slots this afternoon. We only had $20 to play with. We won $60, total $80. But we used it to play for a while longer. When we left we had doubled out money though and each of us had $20. The powerball is up to $300 million so we visited various stores to buy tickets. We have 15 tickets total. When we were at one shop a guy there pulled out a wad of money and bought $50 worth. When I mentioned that to a lady at another store she said a man had come there and bought $300 worth. That is a lot. But I guess you have to spend money to make money. I already have many plans for my money when I win it.

I got to thinking about my weight gain. I have also been having swelling. I am all puffy. I talked to the doctor about it and got some lab work done. I got good news and bad news. The labs are all normal. So I still don't have any answers.

I am happily doing my weekly exercise class. This week we started a new routine. I am sore today again. I am limbering up. I am able to stretch a little bit further than before. I haven't been feeling so well this week. I am awfully tired. So I haven't done any extra exercise at home like I did last week.

But I did find a new way to use my ab lounge ;O) It is just too bad that I don't have the foldable kind that I could place in the bedroom.

Not the best of days

Today has been a day of many emotions. First thing depression (if you read "watch me shrink" you know all about this), then anger. Now I am tired but thinking clearer.

I have just filed my taxes. We get back from federal this year but owe state a combined $93. I hate state.

I can't think of much to write at this moment and I am tired about working all day and racking my brain over those taxes. So I think I am going to head to bed early tonight. It has been a draining day all together.

I survived

I had my second night of exercise last night. It hurt while I was doing it but after it was done and then again today I feel great. I have been practicing all week to get ready. I have been doing 100 ab loungers and 45 minutes or 2 miles on the treadmill every night. I have been really behaving myself.

Child support update:
Most people have heard of a dead beat dad but have you ever heard of a dead beat mom? We called the bureau to find out about attaching her taxes this year because of her not paying and screwing around with us. They said that it was already in process. They have contacted her state to have them take care of it. They have noticed the pattern of non payment and jumping from job to job and quiting when she gets found out and they start garnishment. They do realize that she is playing the system. And like I said before she is currently not working and living out of a hotel. At her age there is no reason why she can't get her ass out and work. Lazy is what it is. Oh Well.
