Futons smutons!!!!!

Let me tell you broke SUCKS!!! along with utility company's & target & futons & work dot dot dot...

I send out a question to you.. how do you get a 236 dollar gas bill in the middle of summer when the only thing you are heating is water??????????? Yea I am baffled also..

on to Target & futons.. So I see this futon in the paper for 99 dollars I think hey I could use this .. my little ugly green couch has seen better days and needs to be put to rest!!! So Monday I go to the Target by my house.. they are out.. but they give me the number for the other Targets around the city.. so I call a couple they are out also.. WOO HOO I call the one at 435 & Shawnee Mission Pky and they have 7 .. my lucky day!!! so I go over there about an hour to and hour and a 1/2 later .. I find a associate.. and he looks ... they are OUT!!! WHAT I just called how did you go through 7 in that short of a time... ok i am ticked.. i have drove over here for nothing!!! I am on the phone again.. WOO HOO the Target by The Great Mall has 3 .. they have put my name on one and I have 24 hours.. a bunch of other crap happens when we get home so we don't get to be till VERY late.. i cant sleep it is past 1 and i have to get up around 430 for work needless to say I over slept .. but I was only about 5 min late for work.. Tuesday I have to leave work early because of the crap that happened on Monday. . so cool i will get over to Target much earlier.. I go get the futon.. and I am off for home.. we get it out of the car I cook dinner we watch TV and then comes Wednesday.. I am so pooped from Monday & Tuesday I do nothing with the futon.. Thursday night comes and I think hey tomorrow if Friday and it is trash day .. we will put this together and get the box out of the house.. (plus I have Friday off.. YEA).. we get the futon out of the box.. and how strange .. no instructions on how to put it together..and there seems to be more parts then I should have.. it looks nothing like the picture on the box.. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...... so I call Target and the manager is baffled.. he says bring it in tomorrow and I will make it worth your while.... So I take McKinley to school and I am off to Target.. once again.. grrr I walk in and there is one sitting on the dolly waiting for me.. the Manager comes up we go to my car and get the futon.. bring it back into the store.. and we walk back to the one they have on display and hummmm looks nothing like the one i brought in.. oh and he was going to give me some type of coupons but low and behold they are OUT and on order.. SORRY!!! I said story of my LIFE this week anyway.. I was needing some stuff.. but i am so pissed about this whole thing i just get my futon and go!!! I am still kind of ticked so I called their 1-800 number and tell them the story of driving all over KC to get this couch the promises made and not give.. so I will be getting a $15 gift card in the mail... Jaser comes over and he is going to put it together for me.. we get it out of the box and we cant find the legs or the hardware.. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.. i get on the phone to the manager of Target getting ready to BLOW and I give Jaser the instructions.. he yells WAIT.. there is a secret compartment in the futon where the parts are.. YEA!!!!!!! so now it is together and all is well...

The rest of the weekend has been spent cleaning.. I did take a break and go with Amanda to see Momma Mia!! I thought the movie was good..I want to live in a musical.. hehe

Well here's hoping that my coming week goes a bit smoother.. I am having a jewelery party on Tuesday.. Wish me luck.. not sure how well it will go I have better luck on the weekends.. but oh well it did get me to clean..

How old do I feel???

McKinley is starting 6th grade today!!! How did this happen??? Yesterday he was just starting kindergarten..... Oh and Quentin will be in 8th grade... AHHHHHHH... The older they get the older I have to get.. NO NO NO NO!!! I am refusing to at least act older...hehe

On a different note.. love the 4 10 hour days except for the week (this week) when it isnt your turn.. hehe.. guess it gives me something to look forward to YEA next week I do have 1 whole day to myself CANT WAIT!!!

Got to go see the Aunts last Sunday.. it was great.. They all look so good.. Makes me think that my sisters need to do something all together soon..

Take care... time to take my 2 year old oops i mean my 11 year old to 6th grade.. BOO HOO...hehe

Take a walk on the wild side!!!

Well today is my first day off.. it was nice to not have to get up this morning. However Wednesday & Thursday I could hardly get out of bed.. this moring i was wide awake at 6 am.. BOO HOO...hehe figures!!!

let me back up .. yesterday we went to the school to get Quentin's class Schedule.. he is pretty excited about his classes.. he has 3 that he is really excited about Spanish 1 and performance 1 for the first semester and the 2nd he will have art 2D

Today the boys and I walked up to the school (glad I got McKinley a bike that is quite the walk) His teacher is Mrs. Harris.. she is new so we will see how she is.. then we left the school and walked to the mall.. we walked all over the mall and window shopped.. then we came home i did map quest just to see the miles .. we walked 4+ miles.. I will feel that tomorrow..hehe but it was nice.. think we will try walking more in the evenings... I am wanting to see if the community center has any exercise classes I or we can take that don't cost an arm and a leg..

Tomorrow will be cleaning day.. need to get the basement clean.. it is making me NUTS!!! my Kitchen looks pretty good now just need to mop.. i know you are all jealous hehe...

I am going to have a jewelry party on the 26th of August.. I will be sending out some invites here soon.. hope some of you out there can make it..

I am going to ride with Gloria & David up to get mom.. it will be nice to see all the Aunts I haven't seen Gladys in at least 8 years and Barb in 7 or 8 .. couldn't even tell you how long on Hazel & Helen.. Thank Glo & David for letting us come along.. looking forward to it!!

Hotter then HE(( out

Ok so the weather out side is frightful!!!...

My house is so HOT!! we went down to Gloria's because it was so hot and I knew my house would be just horrible.. it was great I almost froze...hehe

Saturday I went to 1 garage sale and came across a air conditioner for the kitchen for 20 dollars.. so i am hoping that helps out this place.. The boys and i also went to the farmers market before we went down to Gloria's we got some of the most tastiest corn on the cob.. I also made them my own version of succotash.. or how ever you spell it.. it was very good.. all in all it was a great weekend..

I start my 4.. 10 hour days this week.. i am looking forward to having Friday off!! it will be every other week, so next week i will work my regular hours.. but hey every other week will we nice.

Well that is about it for now..
