Quirky Mom, Quirky Family
What is everyone doing today?
I’ve done a little bit of work, taken the boy to camp and it’s eyebrow ripping day today. Not sure what comes after all that lol I need to head to the food store as well… but I didn’t write my meal plan 
I guess I should do that first.
Good Afternoon! What is everyone up to today?
So far I’ve been to the AT&T store and stuck a data plan on the twins phones (which they are paying for themselves, thank god – my mobile bill is massively out of control), to the pet store to get a flea collar for the cat, flea spray for my dads room (which I don’t understand and the dogs are never in there) and carpet cleaner because my yorkie decided right in front of my bathroom is the place to bego instead of her damn pad downstairs. Laziest dog ever. We had lunch at Baja Fresh and deposited some cash into the bank. Now I can rest?
We saw Harry Potter last night – I dozed off in a couple of places. It wasn’t bad, just not… engrossing, I guess. We’re going to let the boys see it with camp tomorrow, but we warned them about the dead in the cave and few spots after. Dorian said as long as there is magic he is ok, because magic is good and always wins. Of course, there are no killer robots, so he should be OK anyway 
(Dor is petrified of Terminator and thinks one will come kill us all) Malachai digs horror flicks, so I think he’ll be ok. I’ll be shocked if he sits still through it anyway.
Dad and I are going to swing by the bank at some point, as we need to find out what we need to do to put my name on the deed to the house. Does anyone know? I mentioned it to him again, because my auto insurance will come down if I am a homeowner (short term benefit) and when he dies, if I am on the deed, our property tax stays locked in at the current rate (which was assessed in 1997) instead of at whatever the current rate is when he dies (long term benefit).
I think Eshiva and I need to make something today, but I’m not sure what just yet.
Let me start with, we got a new car! We got a silver Mazda5 stick and I fucking love it. It’s the cheap model, but this cheap model has frills my van doesn’t have (although the van some some frills the car doesn’t have, so it’s a toss up). It’s got a black cloth interior, next to no trunk, but it has rear air which is why we got a new family car and not a new Fishie car. I’ve promised him in five years once it is paid off we’ll get him a new car.
I have had something in my right eye for two days. I think it’s an eyelash, but I can’t get it out and it is annoying.
I double paid a bill, so I am broke till the 24th, which sucks. At least I had the money to cover the double payment, but I feel so effing stupid for doing it to begin with.
I have an idea for a new style tattoo needle, Michael is going to bring his soldering gun and needle jig and stuff home so I can test it out. If it works, it will have limited use (like dedicating an entire machine specifically to this needle, so it’s not gonna be the next big thing lol it will be nice if it does what I envision it doing though!) but if it makes things easier, is it worth it? Well, maybe just for me lol
The Orkin man came to take care of the bee nest that was under the kids fort part of their swingset. We need to get out there with gloves tomorrow and pull the planks up and get rid of the actual hive, and then hose it down but good. He said not to touch to powder or let the kids touch it. Joy. We put some stuff in the pool today to keep it clear and algae free. I need to recover it and turn the pump off. I know, not running the pump 24/7 doesn’t help, but I can’t run it 24/7 as the outside socket doesn’t work.
Is there more? I bet there is, but my brain is mush right now.
Good Morning! What is everyone doing today?
I am off to sign more papers, to the ins. office to adjust what I took, and I swear there was something else. I also need to call the dentist to cancel Eshivas appointment because I flippin’ overpaid my mobile account (I paid the fucker twice! Ugh!) and it killed all my extra cash this week. OTOH, I have a credit so I don’t have to pay them next month. Blessing in disguise? Who knows. I, however, feel like a freaking dumbass for *forgetting* I already sent them $$$ and then paying them again on top of it!

Good morning! We’re off to the car dealership today, and then off to a friends house for yummy Korean food and good times 
Sounds like an awesome Sunday to me! What are your plans?

What’s everyone doing today?
We’re hitting up GoodWill to find some dresses for Eshiva, who has decided that the boys hand me downs aren’t good enough anymore. She wants dresses. Lots and lots and lots of dresses. Miss Priss over here *groans*
Then we’re off to Target for a new first aid kit and some undies for Dor (who is so going to outgrow me by the end of the summer if he keeps this up). I need to curb my spending, but I also need a complete first aid kit to toss in the car when we pick it up, not just a box of bandaids.
Then I need to clean out the van and I think I might actually wash it for DH. I still feel bad he got fucked out of “his” new car and the “family” got a new car instead. It just made more sense, and this one has rear air so…. I get the new car and he gets the old car. I want to try and make it nice and new for him. It’s been kiderrized with spilled drinks and stuff, but I can at least wipe the dust and dirt out lol
Then we’re off to pick up the car! They said it should come in sometime today, they would detail and wax it and all and then call us.
I will not have any exciting “things to do today” after today.
Oh, todays Things are (in addition to my everyday things) clear all floors, change the bed clothes, clear off the desk, create this weeks menu and tidy out front. The last three things were actually yesterdays, but I wasn’t home yesterday sad.gif At least Monday is an easy “chore” day.

What’s going on today?
Today is an easy chore day for me (sweep & spot mop), but I should do some stuff that I didn’t do yesterday.
We *should* be picking the car up before noon. We should have had it yesterday, but apparently it was coming from the Gulf coast and apparently they didn’t fucking leave till like, 4PM. Fuckers. So, it will either be ready and we can walk out the door by noon or it will wait another day. They said they could deliver it to Michael at work, but WTF? Like he has time to deal with that shit at work. We’re also pissed they drove it from the other coast, so my new car? Not quite so new now.
Malachai has therapy from 1 – 2:15, and I was planning on letting the kids swim today after, but we had a bees nest powdered yesterday evening and the bees are pissed off. Orkin is coming back today to put this powder stuff down again, and tomorrow we can pull the planks on the playset and remove the hive. Yep, the bees are under the fort part of the kids swingset. Smart bees, right? Long story even longer, now I need to find something else to do today because out backyard has angry bees in it.
