Tuesday Toodles

Well, thanks to Mudder Nature's cool front closing in and yesterday's stress I had one of those thumping headaches today and stayed in bed till NOON.

I would like to say a VERY BIG THANK YOU for all your comments, each one!  I love you all!  (and NO I don't offend very easily if any were wondering)

Tom and I had a chance to talk over the events of Sunday night.  I am one for details....he gave me an outlined version.  When I told him the account was gonna show a negative $300 he was surprised.  HOW?  You can get the "available" balance with the ATM card.  But ya know, booze always fogs the brain.....tells it things that just aren't so.

I never did get to the bank or get a call back from the lady mgr about how in the world they decided to give away money that wasn't there.

A friend has posed some good questions to me about Mr Man's behavior.  He and I discussed his desire to please his father...I reminded him that this was just not possible.  The "Don", as in my FIL, (think mafia here) has to control "the family" and therefore is always pointing out what is wrong in YOUR life.  I say it's time to put "Don" in his place and quit trying to please him.  I'm not saying be a bum or anything, but just be who you are.  It was a tough lesson for me...but one I had to embrace regarding my parents.

Tom is in constant pain....because of his accident in 85 (he was hit by a car as he was walking across a street while on duty NYPD) he has had multiple knee surgeries...broke both legs and busted the right knee.  2 years ago he had a total knee replacement...that didn't go well.  He's still in pain.  So he drinks to dull the pain, smokes to forget it.  I can understand that theory.  I remember back when I was having my own troubles (late 80's early 90's) that all I wanted to do was sleep or zone out.  That way I didn't have to cope.

Is Mr Man always honest with me?  or himself?   I think he is with me, because he has learned that if he lies, I will always find out the truth.  (Just ask my brothers LOL.)  With himself....no....he will say outloud "I don't want....or I won't...."  but he let's that voice within talk him into things.  I like this comment "constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves"........how true in a lot of cases.

Never a dull moment........

I did get Miss T to dance......she will finally begin working on her solo for this year...that's gonna be cool.  The Lyrical group routine is coming along great.  She and I had Taco Bell (ugh) for dinner, I'll suffer later I'm sure!

My bestestfriendinthewholewideworld Cindilouwho has finally seen the light and has left the boyfriend....she will be moving back home (again) and is seeking employment nearby.  She misses her granddaughter and her family and friends.  All for a stupid man.  I told you so!  It will be nice to have her home again.  She's so funny and I miss her alot.  People ask me if we're sisters.

Are the mosquito's bad in your neck of the woods?  They are horrible here.  As soon as I step outside, WHAM, half a dozen are on me like I'm a buffet!  There's a question for God when I get there.....what's up with the mosquito????????

And.......we have a huge black lizard on our deck.  Hugh I tell ya...with blue stripes....dunno what he is, haven't looked him up yet.  I'll have to make sure my .380 is loaded,,,,ok, ok, I'll use the BB gun.  Now if one of these guys gets in my pool...................

Speaking of my pool, Tom laughs at me when I say I want a solar blanket for it or a heater......hey, it was upper 80's today outside, it would have been nice to take a dip but Noooooo, the pool is at 72 friggin degrees.  Maybe next year.

Maybe................
