February 10, 2007 Any place
"If you could physically transport yourself to any place in the world at this moment, where would you go?" Humm... I still don't really know. I really am happy where I am, I wish it was about 73 degrees outside, but I'm happy here. Sorry I can't give a better answer.
Today's question: "If you could have lived through any war in history (without actually fighting in it), which would it be? Since I really don't like war, I will need to to think about this one hard.
Duck is finally starting to feel a little better. MC is doing better, at least he isn't as bad as he was. There isn't anything really new to say.
I did go to the bank today to close out an account that is never used. The girl came up and said, "Do you want a cashier's check or cash?" Well just cash, it was only about $160.00, she said now, it more than a thousand. HUH??? She must have had the wrong account. Yup! She did, she closed our main account, which also means that the mortgage check has not gone through yet. DARN it. So she went back and closed the right account and gave me cash, and then informed me that when she close out the main acct, it canceled our credit/debit cards. OMG! I could tell that she was ready for me to rip her apart, but heck, what can I do? I can take it calmly and say, hey, it was an accident or I can ruin her Saturday and mine by getting upset and yelling at her. We don't need to spend any money anyway, we have enough food, just gas, and we can get cash for that. Okay, well I need to get Sunshine, he's terrorizing the cat AGAIN. Poor kitty.
Maybe more later...maybe not.

February 09, 2007 Good news and the visit...
I rec'd good news tonight, I wish the two a lot of luck in minding wounds. And I was serious about the date night thing...just because you are married, doesn't mean that you can't have a date with your wife/husband. I will be here if either of you need someone to talk to. We love you guys!
And now the visit.....Have you ever had to visit the Social Security Office???? I think that being rude is a prerequisite for all government jobs. I mean, for crying out loud, how many times do I have to say that I haven't used my maiden name for more than 3 years now??? Did you not hear me the first 5 times I told you lady???? Okay, I feel a little better. I'm still having to hyphenate my name, they couldn't change it since I didn't have any documentation showing my birth date and maiden name together. What a crock of CRAP. I have an IN state Driver License, I have doctor's bills in my new name and the most important document of all.....my marriage license. OHHHHHHHHHFFFFFFFFFFF. I'm very frustrated. Then after I had already called to find out how it was going to work to get MC's SSN, apparently everything the lady told me on the phone was a lie! The lady behind the counter even had the nerve to ask me what the rush was for getting his SSN....I told her that we wanted to file our taxes an needed his number in order to claim him. Then she told me that we couldn't claim him since he was born in 2006. Uh...yes we can...HELLO? Then she precede to tell me that had until April 14th to file, DUH! I told her that when you are getting money back, you don't wait till the last minute. IT WASN'T ANY OF HER FREAKING BUSINESS. So now we have to wait 4-6 weeks to file. This has been a disaster, considering the health department didn't even have him on file.
Call of the wild, thanks for listening!

February 09, 2007 Humm.....
Well yesterday I learned to not speed read something that was potentially a hate letter.
Today I went up to put the clothes away and saw the my darling cat has puked all over the play room...yuck. Guess what I'll be doing when Sunshine takes a nap and Duck is home.
The last "IF" question...."If you could spend one whole night alone with anyone in the world who is currently alive, who would you select?" - Well, I've put a lot of though into this question and my answer is very controversial. I get to spend just about every night alone with my family who I love and enjoy spending every night alone with. But I think that I would spend the night alone with Osama Bin Laden. Now before you "X" off my page, here are my reasons. First I would try to make the man understand that he isn't doing God's work, killing innocent people in wake of his cause is wrong and goes against the Bible and God. Number 2, if I were to spend the night alone with him, guess what, we'd know where he was and he could be arrested in the morning, or in the night I don't care. Perhaps if his group didn't have a leader the would disband, or at least hopefully.
No since I misses a day I will ask and state yesterday's question/today's answer.
"If you could spend one whole night alone with anyone in history, who would you choose?" Well that's easy, I'd choose Jesus, no question about that one.
Today's questions: "If you could physically transport yourself to any place in the world at this moment, where would you go?" Some place warm comes to mind, but I think the questions is due more thought than that. I'll give my answer tomorrow.
I haven't been able to exercise with my friend all week and part of last week...I'm bummed. I want to loose weight, but I need motivation. I think I will bring my prom dress down and hang it on the front door. Seeing it all the time will motivate me to eat less, drink more water and exercise more.
I'm going to start making a list of things that need to be done around the house that I don't know how to do or can't do. Like the toilet tank needs to be fixed. My goal is to get one thing done a week or should I say Duck to get one thing done a week. I am going to keep the house us and start to move our bedroom to the small one and the toys and kids stuff to the big one.
Well Sunshine is hungry and the baby is starting to fuss...gotta go, at least for now.

February 07, 2007 And the answer is....
Okay, so I've had about a day to think of the answer and....of course the obvious win the lottery popped in my head first, but I thought it deserved more thought than that. If I was to be granted one wish it would be that Duck and are a good enough parents to raise children that make a difference in the world while leading a good life. I guess that's every parents wish, but that is what I would wish for other than the lottery.
Tomorrow's question: If you could spend one whole night alone with anyone in the world who is currently alive, who would you select? Oh the possibilities...
I've folded all the laundry besides what is in the dryer and I'm going to wash the table clothes today. I also need to touch up the kitchen, it's fairly good, but I still need to de-clutter the counter. That is my project for today, de-clutter the counters in the kitchen and the top of the refrigerator.
Has everyone who reads this seen The Village by M.N. Shamalan? If you haven't, I recommend it. Granted it isn't the best movie I've ever seen, but if I could live like that for the sake of my children I would. I just can't pluck and kill the chickens...it may come to me some day, but certainly not today.
I spoke to Dad today, he said something about visiting us...I'd love it! As long as long as he'd let me cook. I'm sure that the kids would love to see him also. I get kinda bored here all day by myself with the kids and doing the house work. I miss some of the social interaction that I used to get. But until I am better about keeping my house clean, I don't want regular company. I'm working on it.
Duck is still running a fever, but it down around 99-100 area. MC is sick still, very congested and doesn't seem to get much better. Going to call the doc tomorrow if he isn't any better at all. Duck is going to the SSA office to get the SS number for MC tomorrow. I have to get the BC today.
Well I think that's all my news for now, I'm going to finish my de-clutter session and try to do some sit-ups today. If I get the notion later I may do some Tae Bo, I really need to. I'm tired of this excess flab hanging off my bones. Duck and I have made the agreement that if I lose 50 lbs, I can cut my hair off, and he won't say a word. I can't wait, I'm going to be this side of bald! Okay well I guess I better get up and do it. I'm also going to start keeping track of everything at fitday.com. It is a free website that will track things for you and help you decide what and where you need to do more or less.
Perhaps more later, stay warm.

February 06, 2007 Family Decisions
I feel bad that I have not been able to exercise with my exercise partner, MC is just so congested and it isn't fair to him to keep taking him in and out in this horrible weather. It is snowing so hard right now I can hardly see my neighbors house. The accumulation is just amazing. The truck has also had problems running the past few days, okay let me reword that, it hasn't been running the past few days. Duck has been driving the car to work, it makes me feel better with him doing that anyway. Not sure why. Duck is still sick, he was running a 102.1 last night. He still doesn't want to go to the doctor, I'll ask him again today. Sunshine did really well at his DT appt today. My house is picked up and my floors have been spot cleaned. I will go over them real good the next warmer day we have. Probably next week. I need to mop the kitchen floor and run the dishes, do a load of laundry, fold the laundry and clean the bathroom, sounds like a lot, but it is really only about an hours worth of work.
I found my favorite book today while I was looking at the book shelf. (imagine that a book on the book shelf) It's called "If..." so every day I am going to post an If question and think about it before I blog the answer. "If you were granted one wish, what would it be?" Humm...oh the possibilities.
I spoke with T last night and the news wasn't as good as I had hoped for. He did make a good point about himself though....he must start putting the children first. As a parent it is hard (for most, easy for us) to put the children first everytime. We have some close friends (K&G) whom we feel, feel the same way as we do. Yes I said feel twice, read it again if it didn't make sense. We are always thinking of our children first, granted the whole world can't revolve around them, they can't get everything that they want all the time, but it is important to us that we give them what they need when they need it. It isn't about always giving them what they want. He also brought up another good point that made me think about Jo. We were going to adopt him, and it think it may have been a mistake had we actually been able to go through with it. Don't get me wrong, I loved Jo and I would've done anything I could have for him, but would I have been as fair to him as I am to Sunshine. Would I have given him the same amount of love and time. Would I have felt that the same love for a child that isn't mine biologically. The answers are, we will never know. I loved him, but life would have been so much different. He would have been better in our home by far, but our hands are tied. I even went to DFC to see if I could at least get him placed in a better home, but they wouldn't do anything since I wasn't in the right county, even with a letter from his guardian/step-grandfather saying that he couldn't parent the kids. I pray for him all the time, and I do think about him all the time. I wish that we had the money to fight, but I'm not sure how it would all work out in the end. I think he would have a better shot at life if he lived with us and that we would show him more love than he has ever been shown. Unless someone can catch him before he falls too far, he is going to wind up one of those statistics that turn out bad. Unfortunately, I see him winding up in jail for a heinous crime that he commits. The best I feel that I can do is pray for him everyday. Maybe this is something that Duck and I should really sit down and have a heart to heart about.
Stay warm,Katy
