camping in the backyard

earlier today…….2:57pm

I’m not sure of the exact reason, but I’ve had a really good day with C (my youngest son). We wound up going to the chinese restaurant for lunch, it was good. Yum. (Even though we had watched a television program about how chinese food was made, it didn’t turn us off).

We got the camper all cleaned out, and we’ve been hanging out since. I just love how the camper is set up – what do you call it? Oh yeah, COMPACT. It is getting chilly though.

I almost forgot that I have an appointment in Dover with p-doc.

I tried on the ring today. OMG! Bea-u-ti-ful!

We are STILL waiting for my f-i-l to show up.

UGH. It’s raining and I just remembered that I left all of the windows down in my car. Booger-snot.

Got my meds filled – took them when we got home.

Looked all over Wal-Mart for a GOOD writing pen – so far the only ones I REALLY like are Bic 4 -ways. I steered clear of the book & magazine section so that I wouldn’t be tempted to buy any books. But I DID find a smoky quartz (it’s an obsession right now, just go with it) and silver bracelet that I liked. (Hint, Hint, K). There was some Bodycology Brown Sugar lotion that I really liked (this is the second time I’ve stood there sniffing the bottle). Didn’t have the money for it, so I guess I just have to stick with my Avon Skin-So-Soft and my Faith Hill Parfum.

By the way, hubby didn’t get mad at me for buying the smoky quartz ring on e-bay.

Here’s a rant for you – I’m reminded of it because I am looking out the camper window at the house across the street. The BRAND NEW house across the street. I don’t mind the new house being across the street, it looks better than the shitty trailor that used to be there. what I mind is the person WHO got the new house. A 39-year-old man who doesn’t work, has NO children (that are allowed to live with him – a story for another time – and he’s married to a woman who only lives there 1/2 the time and lost her daughter because the man was accused of molesting her (the daughter) and she (the wife) refused to leave him. I understand that he is unable to work (mental & physical reasons) but, a man who cannot work because "his back hurts too much" is at this very moment, out in back of his house cutting down wood and hauling it to another spot in his yard. Pfft. I, myself, receive disability (because of my Bipolar) BUT I also make an effort to work (CNA at the nursing home). I’m not jealous of him, I am pissed about it – oh yeah, did I mention that the town paid for his new house? I also think he’s doing/dealing drugs, but I’m not 100% positive. I know he smokes Mary Jane, but he has cars in and out of his driveway all hours of the night. I only feel safe across the street because we have guns and hubby taught me how to use them. Okay, rant over.

Hubby just called and said that he won’t be home until late – bummer.

C really wants to spend the night in the camper – sorry son, it’s gonna be cold & wet tonight. We’ll get a chance to use it soon enough.

STILL no f-i-l. I gave him a cell-phone that’s on my account, do you think he would have the decency to call? The he will come when I am gone to my appointment, and get pissed at me because I wasn’t home. Shit. Sometimes family sucks. Of course, this is the man who has disliked me since I was 15, and tried to get hubby to leave me for the first 10 years of our marriage (because every year at X-mas time I was in a mental hospital). And he IS the one who told K that I was crazy and one day he (K) was going to come home and find the boys tied to stakes and burned in the backyard.
