Surgery is tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surgery-BOOOOOOOOOOO!
I am having surgery tomorrow to fix my shoulder. I am wide awake because I am very nervous and anxious. They ( being everyone I have mentioned it to including doctors ) has said that it will hurt like CRAP!
I don't know how long I will be home from work. Don't know HOW much pain I will be in. How much fun it will be to use the bathroom and take a shower. I will also have PT rehab. AND I will have to sit on a CPM machine ( a machine that i have to sit on 3-4 hours A DAY that ever so slightly moves my arm up and down to stretch my arm ).
OWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
I think what I am worried about is not the surgery, but I think I am paranoid that I will never have full use of my shoulder again..... I don't want to be weak in that arm or have permanent problems.
Well I better go to bed! Surgery AWAITS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

My sisters and my week!

BOO!

I actually talked to both of my sisters in the SAME day, doesn't sound unusual, but it is! Samantha had a job interview ( woo-hoo, her first since she moved in with her husband ) and she has 2 more interviews tomorrow-double woo-hoo.
Pattie and I had some catching up to do-that's not unusual because we only talk once like every 3 weeks. I had to tell her about my SHITTY freakin' week ( Sami already knew ) and she told me that she was getting a nose job!!!!! Well sort of. She has a deviated septum and can't breathe. There was also something else about them needing to SAW bone off ( I almost had to roll down the window to barf ). She said that the doctor told her that it wouldn't hurt THAT bad. I asked her if she was dumb enough to believe him, but she said no, of course not. Smart woman!
I talked to Tamara tonight too. She was sad and having a bad week too. We are like therapuetic soul mates! She is my therapist and I think I am hers now as well! I hope she comes to visit dear old Clarksvegas soon. I need to take that woman to a bar-stat! lol.
Well the dear old laptop battery is about to die ( hopefully not catch on fire since THAT battery was replaced by the manufacturer )!
I am determined to have a good ( LONG ASS ) day at work tomorrow. I am going to buy cupcakes at wal-mart and if there is a customer or employee with a bad attitude- THEN I AM GOING TO SHOVE IT.... IN THEIR MOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


PS Good luck to PATTIE with her surgery, Good luck to SAMI with her tons of interviews, and good luck to TAMARA to telling some people off that desperately NEED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you guys!

I am back!

Its been a while-sorry!
Sorry its been forever since I've blogged. ( well I am only sorry if anybody actually reads this! ). I have been busy, recovering, and trying to find jobs to move home with.

Ken was actually home for AN ENTIRE MONTH! And then he got sent to Reno until his birthday. Brent wound up getting put on the same trip so now I will have to be all dressed up and all alone handing out Halloween candy tomorrow night. Anyone that TRULY KNOWS me knows that I love Halloween and I love handing out candy to all the cute kids. Figuring out what to get Ken for his birthday has been a challenge, but i think i've got it pegged.

I have been watching TONS of horror movies lately-in honor of Halloween. I rented Slither ( AWESOME ), Monster House ( adorable ), and Rest Stop ( BLEW ). And god bless the AMC channel. I have watched everything from all of the Halloween movies to Friday the 13th, and lots more. I love scary movies! Too bad they scare the crap out of my husband. Big dork. lol.

My middle sister ( Sami ) had her wedding back at the beginning of October, moved, and went on her honeymoon. Pattie ( the old sister ) is in NYC on a vacation with her husband. We got to see Lindsey ( my sister in law ) and Kirk at Sami's wedding. They are SO cute together. And Kirk knows to respect the familia-we are like the mafia. Lol.

I had so much fun when I was home for Sami's wedding. I can't wait to move home and be near the family again. And I really do miss Knoxville. Clarksville isn't awful, but Knoxville is HOME! All the soldiers have started coming home and its nice to see them. Most of them are VERY polite ( at work ). But they need to hurry up and finish expanding the damn roads around here. It took me almost 45 mins for a drive that usually takes 15mins on the way home. I was FUMING when I got in the drive way.

I have also been keeping in touch with some old friends who are still in Iraq. One I have known since I was like 14. He is in the Army ( going home to his wife and kid REAL soon ) and the other I sold a house to ( when I was a realtor to 5 whole mins. They are both in Iraq and I hope they are both staying safe. They are both great guys.

Well. The main reason I haven't blogged lately is because I got hurt at work ( early september ) and I am still having trouble with my shoulder. I was out of work for 3 WEEKS! I had to have PT and now I am going to an orthopedic specialist because of all the trouble I am having with my shoulder now. Typing, writing, and sleeping were EXTREMELY painful. I am still recovering, but typing is better.

Well I think I have MOSTLY caught you guys up on everything. I will blog again SOON.
Is anyone out there?! Lol.

Some pics of the zoo!

All the kitties acting like the get along ALL the time!
Buffy is the BOSS, don't you forget it!
Yes these are frogs, Yes I have 3!
Ken with our big boys, Moose and Spike. No Spike can't fly he is just REALLY hyper ALL the time!

I don't work today, but I've been awake since 6am!

Morning. Nice and early! I was babysitting overnight last night. Carmine and Katelynn were really, really good, but that's not way i've been up since 6am. MOOSE is! ( see the slideshow if you don't know who Moose is ). That little shit has woken me up EVERY morning for the past 2 weeks at 6am! I am going to change his name from Moose to ROOSTER! DAMNIT!
The kids were great last night. Carmine kept switching which Gamecube game we were playing. Whenever he got to a point in a game he couldn't beat, we had to put in a new game! lol! That is the opposite of what I did when I was a kid ( granted I wasn't playing video games at 3 years old!!!! ). I would stay up all night, even on a school night, until I beat a game. I would cuss at the tv alot too! lol.
Katelynn was a good girl and didn't PEE on the sofa like she did LAST weekend. Lucky me, huh! Sleeping was eventful last night. We went to bed with Shrek on the tv. I was in bed with: a toddler ( saddled in bed between her brother and I ), a 3 yr old who NEVER gets tired, 2 huge dogs, and a cat or 2. How did I sleep? Eh. Not bad, but I keep waking up to check out the baby. I guess this is practice, huh? But my kids will definitely not be sleeping in the bed with us! I just let K sleep in the bed last night because if I had put her in her playpen she would've gotten really ticked off with me so I just took the easy way out!
Work was stressful last week. Lots of stuff going on and nothing I want to air on my blog. Ken and I are still looking for jobs in order to move home. I am getting desperate because we don't want to be stuck here over the holidays! Stan should be back from Iraq soon. FYI if you don't know Stan he is the neighbor who's house and fishtank we have been watching while he has been in Iraq. He is a good guy and I am glad that will be home soon. VERY glad that I won't have to feed his evil babysitter-stinging-lionfish! ( long story if you don't know it ).
Before I forget props to Benjamin who came and hung out with Brent and me last weekend. We had lots of fun, had Longhorn OF COURSE, and watched the Descent. That movie scared the crap out of all of us. Everyone in the theater jumped and yelled and when I got home I checked all the closets and under the bed! Lol. I definitely want to see that movie again! What can I say?! I love to see scary movies! Anyhoo thanks again to B for visiting us ( hey Brent where are the pics )!
So I have ALOT of stuff to do today and tomorrow! This morning I need to drop off my ebay stuff at the post office, pick up Starbucks, then swing over to Brent's to help him start moving. Yes he is switching apartments, AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! The new one is way better than the one he is at now though and literally behind work. So its all good.
Tomorrow I have to do my weekend grocery shopping and I have TONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS of cleaning to do before Ken gets home. He will be coming home on time instead of EARLY so I am not too pleased....! Too bad I didn't win that huge powerball last month.
OH WELL!

What a weekend!

I had a GOOD weekend!
Hola, como estas?! Boo! I had alot of fun this weekend. I will try to quickly recap, but you guys know I am not good at that!

Friday night I got Taco Bell on the way home. Ken was in Knoxville already and I hate cooking on Friday nights! I had dinner and just RELAXED all night. Knowing I didn't have to work Saturday morning was good too!

Saturday I woke up and took Miss Patches to the vet for a check-up. She was fine, but angry! Then I had to do some shopping and she had to ride around in the buggy ( in her carrier ). After I took her home it was POURING rain. I mean POURING! I waited till it died down and then I went back out.

I rented Final Destination 3 at Hollywood Video. After that I went to Best Buy and did some mis-spending and then I went to Target to look around. Suprisingly I wasted NO money at Target. While I was at Target I called Brent to see where he was at. He told me he would meet me at Kohls. Ohhhhhhh Kohls. How I love thee?! We didn't spend alot of money, but we did have a buggy of stuff with us. I am proud of us though. We only bought stuff we NEEDED. Mostly.... Brent is THE EVIL SHOPPING INFLUENCE! Not to mention we ate like pigs! We had Starbucks, Zaxbys ( they are SO good ), Sonic ( a snack only ), then the China King buffet! GOOD LORD! We need to have more self control.

After Kohls and lunch we had Zaxbys hmm. Then came back to my house and watched Chappelle Show lost episodes. I love that flippin show. After that we went downtown to check out the TENNESSEE TITANS FOOTBALL TRAINING CAMP @ AUSTIN PEAY!!!! Who cares if you aren't a football fan cause man its pretty cool having that here! We had fun, but it was SOOOOOOOOO hot we left after like 1 hr! We drove straight to Sonic to get cooled down! We stopped by a nifty antique store then went over to the mall.

I finally found a new purse, THANK GOD! I don't really remember why else we went there! Lol. After that we went to eat at China King. Yes we ate, yes again! Then we came back to the house and watched Final Destination 3. Not a GREAT movie, but the special features ( choose their fate ) is flippin awesome. Brent went home around like 1030 ( after sharing some major GOSSIP ), but I didn't go to bed till 1am! I slept REALLY, REALLY good though.
I didn't wake up till like 930 this am and that was only after Patches sat on my head. That'll wake you up! I got up, took a shower ( you shoulda seen my FRO ), then went to Kohls ( yes again I had a 20.00 gift ), then to Starbucks, yes again, then to Wal-Mart to do some grocery shopping. I got home and then Ken got home from Knoxville with Spike around 1230.
We packed his bags for Phoenix. Spend some time together, watched tv, then we had some YUMMY dinner at Longhorns. I know what you are thinking. I know I am not allowed to eat out for like a month. I think its the heat. It makes me hungry....!

Ken has to leave for Phoenix in the AM with Q and I won't hardly be eating out at all and I will be working out ALOT.
Well that wasn't a quick recap, but there it is!!!!!!!!!

PS I AM POOPED!

My Space is temporarily unavailable! DARNIT!

My Space is down right now. How obnoxious?! Work was kinda crazy today. I think everybody I know has a long day ( at work ). I was glad to come home and have dinner with Ken, spend some personal time, and go for a walk with the dogs. We even stopped by Carmine's house. That's ALWAYS entertaining! He's a nut.

Ken, Q, and Carmine are ALL going to Phoenix next week. Thank god Siana is going to. Now they have a babysitter! Carmine also informed me that their hotel is next to a casino! UH-OH. What else could I say?!

I need to hop off of here. Gotta take a shower and do more laundry. Too bad I don't get paid to do laundry!

I WOULD BE RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
