I'm sorry your life turned out so hard, Eugene.

She's been in school for 9 weeks now. WOW. She likes it but then she still hates it. We now get up at 6-7am even on weekends. There's no more tricking this kid into sleeping late by telling her that light outside is caused by the moon and  not the sun. Damn you  daylight savings time! Anyway. She goes to school to learn about letters, numbers, colors and friends. She even has 2 best friends! Gracie and Jaden. They are adorable little girls. She doesn't like boys though. I admit I am a bit relieved. Sometimes in Fridays they get to draw pictures. This Friday, she drew a picture that made me say 'what God's name is THAT?'. 

I asked her and she said," That's You, Daddy and me next to our house." I asked her what that was above us. "That's the sun and a rainbow." Thank goodness. This lovely piece of art shall proudly be displayed on my fridge.

I also missed talking about Halloween.. Witch was great!! (Yes, I spelled it 'witch' on purpose so you grammar police (Rodney) can hang it up!) Because we both dressed up as witches! She had her Halloween party at school and that went well. They got to play on a giant slide after it was over. Later that night I took her trick-or-treating to family houses and also took her to the fall fest at the church. Here's a few pics of that and of the very first pumpkin I ever carved!

Halloween was also my and Casey's 12th anniversary. It's gone by so fast. It doesn't seem like we've been married that long at all. We've been together for 15 years now. Almost half my life! Here's a few pics of the flowers he got me:

I love Halloween! It's my most favorite holiday. I got married on Halloween and I prolly did other things on Halloween as well.

Ok so I've been collecting these little addictive WoW pets since I started playing. To me, it's most amusing thing to do - get them out and play with the little guys. Recently, I collected 50 pets and was awarded Stinker. I was overjoyed. And then today when I was thinking that I'd never get to go fight that Headless Horseman and get the little Squashling that he drops, it happened. I was Trick-or-Treating and got a bag of treats. I opened it and there was a Squasling in there looking at me! My very own SQUASHLING! Ok.. I don't usually get this excited over things like this but they changed my drugs and now everything is great. Although I am going tomorrow morning for a lumbar media nerve block. If it's successful, they are going to set me up to have my back nerves cauterized.

I knew it would happen sooner or later.. and it finally has.  Click this link.

This made me lol irl early this AM after reading:

 

aaaannnnndd! This made me say OMG early this AM after watching it:

Spiderman: Web of Shadows

Do you ever suddenly realize that you're slightly miserable? Not miserable with life, but miserable physically? And being physically miserable is making you a little mentally miserable? I have! And on top of that, my effing teeth are starting to rot and that's making my entire mouth hurt. I think I found out my problem. N-e-u-r-o-n-t-i-n  I stay on the edge of aggravation all the time. Sometimes if I'm just touched I want to punch someone's nose. I go shopping and want to pick up my cart and slam it down on the cashier's head for checking out my groceries too slow. And it makes me feel stupid. Stupid enough to not be able to think straight at times. I like to think! (usually) But the most miserably worstest thing about it is the weight gain. I'm not talking about a pound or 2.. Two months ago at my appointment, they weighed me. I was a happy 129. Sure, I wished it was 109 but I'll take that 129. Today? 139. I gained 10 pounds in 2 months and I haven't been eating anything more than I used to. And my stomach will swell out so big that I'll actually look like I'm pregnant at times. I can't even keep it sucked it. I have to wear my pants unzipped around the house and that makes me feel like a cow. I cannot stand it. I don't care what they say, I still think it's what caused my 2 NEW cavities and made my teeth so damn sensitive. In a little over a month, I'll be able to go to the dentist. Fucking yay. And then earlier today, I started feeling all shitty. Sweating, shaking, panic-y. Took my blood pressure - 120/75. (if you can believe that.) So I then took my blood sugar. 54. Fifty-four. And all that did was give my fatass an excuse to eat some more sugar. Will this shit never end?

There was this little Captured Firefly that I've been wanting for a very long time now. I tried farming him before but found out a few days ago I was farming the wrong bug. I was killing Bleeders when I should have been on Needlers. No big deal. Today is day 5 of farming. I killed 1087 Marshlight Needlers over the course of about 8-10 hours and finally got him. (My Mi2 count says 1047 because I already killed 40 of them before remembering to turn kill count on.) Anyway. Then I thought 'Should I sell him for 2000g and finally get my epic flier or keep him as my companion?'. Yep, you're right. I kept him!

OMG He's so cute.	List of items looted before the firefly.

 

 

aaaaaaannnnnd  I had to use Internet Explorer a few days ago for something and within a few minutes, I was reminded of how much it sucked and why I use Firefox..

htf did that happen?

Today was the 4th day of school. The first day, she was good but cried at the last part of class because she thought I wasn't going to get her. The second day was a lot better. She cried a little when I left but was super happy when I picked her up. Some time in between dropping her off and picking her up, she got in trouble a few times. She climbed on the table and wouldn't help pick the toys up. I asked her why she didn't help and she told me she didn't have to pick them up because everyone else did it for her. Then there was the weekend.. A snotty nose weekend. A weekend of her telling me she didn't need to go to school anymore because she doesn't want to learn but also a weekend of her telling me how much fun it was. Then Monday came. Oh God Monday. She was just fine all the way to school but as soon as we walked in the classroom door, she hit the floor. Screaming and crying and finally puking on herself. It splattered on her shoes and all on the floor. I'm glad she refused breakfast. It was HORRILBE. I finally just had to leave her crying. I could hear her screaming while I was in the parking lot. "I DIDN'T TELL MOMMY BYE!!" over and over and over. I didn't go back in - I knew that would make it worse. When I later picked her up, she was smiling and happy and didn't get in trouble any. It blew my mind. So today I thought it was would better. It wasn't. We walked in the class and went straight to the trash can so she could puke again. and no, she's not sick. She can vomit on command and has done it since she was about a year old. She didn't cry as loud today and was barely crying when I left her. There was a sweet little girl that came up and asked her if she was alright. Kara didn't even answer her. She does have a friend though and that surprised me too. I mean, would you be friends with someone that made you pick up their mess? Oh wait! That's called marriage. That's all. Here's to hoping I pick up a happy kid today.

School Day 3	School Day 4

Today was Kara's first day of pre-school. She's been excited about it all week. I didn't think she was going to be able to go to sleep last night with all that jumping and squealing she was doing. She popped up out of bed this morning with bright eyes about going to school. We got to the school around 7:45am. Since it was the first day, everyone had to meet up and split the kids into classes. Kara was into everything there. Asking fifty questions about where the books were, where was the class, are there swings... You name it, and she asked it. She was very outgoing. When we finally got to her class, all the other kids were standing around with their parents. Not mine. She was rambling. When the parents were leaving, there were several crying kids. Not mine. She gave me a kiss and told me bye-bye. I left. I came home and had 3 hours and 30 minutes to do whatever I wanted. I got laundry done, dishes washed, house partially cleaned and even played about 30 minutes of WoW. By this time, I was ready for Kara to come home. I could pick her up at 11:30am. I left early. Very early. I spent extra time riding around so I wouldn't look like the 'eager' parent picking up a kid. I walked up the class door to get her. What did I see? A whole bunch of happy, smiling kids. Except mine. She had snot and tears everywhere. Her face was beet red and swollen from crying. Her teacher said she did really well all morning until it was time to get ready to go home. Kara was scared her Mommy wouldn't come get her. That made me feel good and bad at the same time. Good because it means my kid really does like me and bad because my kid thinks I'd forget about her.I have GOT to make a mental note to never be late to pick her up. She may have a breakdown.

Up and at 'em!	Out the door!

I have been trying for hours (literally) to recover my Sims2 Deluxe serial number. I have done everything the help thingy said to do. I logged into all of my maxis accounts then eventually merged them all into my EA.com account. EA.com is the slowest fucking website I've ever been to. It's even slower than Cingular.com. and they always send me to this retrieval page. And that's fucking great but all I can get off it are my Sims1 serials. There's not even an option there to put in a Sims2 serial muchless get one back. I have bought this game twice already. TWICE. I bought Sims2 when it first came out. Then as luck would have it, I lost my disk. Still have my serial for it but no disk. So when I went out to RE-purchase it, I got Sims2 Deluxe. Guess what! I have the disk but lost the serial! Do you see where I'm going here? WTF gives!? There was somewhere that said you can log into that EA.com place and you can click on My Games and get your serials from there.. I don't even have that option. I tried registering the Sims2 serial that I did have just to see if I could get into that storage part of the serials but it won't let me register what's already registered. I thought maybe it was a Firefox problem so when I try to get into it with IE, I get "Page loaded but with errors" so I can't do any of the drop down menus. and I am sick of my goddamn interwebz crapping out on me. I have been getting some "The connection with the server was reset" daily, maybe even hourly, and it's driving me mad. I'm sick of uninstalling/reinstalling/changing settings/resetting modem and/or router/restarting and cussing. and yes, it does it even if you bypass the router. *weep*

edit:

I found it! OMG I finally found it! It was so hard to find that I can't remember all I had to do. So here's the page that had the right links in case I need it again. Now I can finally get back to murdering my little Sim characters. What fun it will be.
