It's Monday already?

According to the calender it is Monday again. Have I mentioned lately how much I hate Monday? No? Well, I hate Mondays. Washing and cleaning time here at the old homestead. But here at Casa Life it is weekend update time. Woot. Sorry it is early and I am still sleepy, just can't get that big Woot out.

Not alot went on this weekend. Friday Little Miss did go to Easy E's to stay the night! She did a countdown for about 6 hours! She was so excited. I am told it went well. They ate at IHOP. Little Miss had 2 eggs and 2 pancakes, ate it all. They played games all night. He got her MarioKart for her DS. She stayed up after he did. I am told he passed out around 2am! From what I am told she was the gassiest human known to man that night and it smelled very much bad. She was proud. They got up Saturday mornin' and went swimming and he brought her home around 2:30.

We on the other hand, did nothing. The Boy went out and was home by 10:30. We sat around like old farts and watched TV. We decided to swap the party time from 3 to 5. Nothing like last minute changes to get the heart pumping. There was some hurt feelings, one had to work and wouldn't be able to come, another had a hubby working. You know the bitch that I am, I planned it all that way. So we swapped times and I was left with a hundred and one phone calls to let everyone know. I managed to get everyone except Easy E, but I knew he would be here, had to bring Little Miss back and all.

Saturday morning, it was decided by hubby, he would kill me before the party! He wanted to go to the car show. He decided I never get out of the house and I should go with them. So we load up in the car and head out, not like I had anything else to do *rolling eyes*. SOOOO we walked and walked and walked. We saw a few nice cars, but they were on a mission. Intake and carburetor for The Boy's Mustang. Wouldn't you know all the sales people were all the way to the back! Of course, no need for it to be easy on me. SO by the time we got back to the car, I was dying!

But was I done? NO, I still had a ton to do. Vacuum the living room, sweep and mop the kitchen, clean the kids bathroom, cut up onions, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, celery and the watermelon. In addition to still needing a few things from the store and vacuuming the pool!! Oh, and a shower too!!! I managed to get it done with absolutely no help!!! Granted hubby was grilling, 36 hamburger and 48 hot dogs. Did we need that much? NO! But my MIL has to take over everything and insisted we didn't have enough food and added a bit to it! It went on without a hitch!!

I would like to take credit for the cake, but I can't! Red got a lady she works with to fix it! Turned out well, I think!

We ended up with 11 people!!! As I said Red's husband had to work, my brother had a wedding to go to, Bug had to work so that meant BJ wouldn't be here, one of the Hellions stayed with his dad, one cousin has autism and doesn't do well with crowds, The Boy went bow fishing, and Easy E and wifey had other plans. But it all went well. MIL only showed her ass twice and Red brought that damn dog of her's, I hate that dog! I don't take my dogs to her house for dinners! Maybe I should.

I was so tired after it was all over. I put all the dogs up for the actual party. Go figure my dogs were put up so they wouldn't bother anyone and Red brought her jumping, drooling, pain in the ass. But anywhoo..... This was how exhausting the party was......


That's what I wanted to do myself. After all was said and done, Little Miss got a Cinderella and outfit, a flower mirror for her wall, a pets picture frame, some smell good stuff, a couple of training bras, and misc other treats! And we had 7 hamburgers and 25 hot dogs left over. Hubby cut the hamburger grilling down from 36 to 24. Seems her ran out of fire and didn't want to fire up the grill again.

Sunday, I was again woke up early. Hubby wanted to go clean and get it out of the way. After I got up and got dressed, he decided to help The Boy put on his intake and carburetor. So I sat around and cleaned up the house a bit. The Mustang, she ran! All the way down to the end of the driveway! That is where the fuel regulator quit working!!! Talk about a pissed off boy! He has had no luck with vehicles here lately. The truck, well, the transmission is messing up. The Mustang was suppose to be put in a wiring harness and she would run like a scalded cat! Well, he has yet to drive it far and the water has gotten cold!

I did find out a couple of things this weekend....... My husband can piss away most of his check in way less time than it takes to make it!!! And yes it is my husband who does it!!! The more he makes the more he spends. Bills be damned!!! He can run to the store for a snack and a Mt. Dew a hundred times a day, even if we have a snack and a Dew at home. And stop and eat breakfast! Oh, no we wouldn't want to eat at home! He drives me crazy! He had the nerve to ask me where the money went! I told him and he didn't like it!

We are BROKE!!! And the satellite bill is due today, he cashed his bonus check for gas and that is our trip money. You know he promised to take Little Miss to the Tennessee Aquarium and stay the night in Chattanooga! Now I get to scramble and find a way to pay for the bills and the trip!

That leads me to my next discovery! Everything is expensive in Chattanooga! The aquarium is $19.95 for adults and 12.95 for kids. Not bad unless your broke. The Zoo is cheap, $6.00 for adults and I found a coupon for a free child admission. But the big expense is the hotel!!!!! They won't list cost, but you can make a reservation! I reserve nothing if I don't know the cost! But you can get package deals, cheapest one I found was like $249 for one night! I did find a lot of hotels and such near Raccoon Mountain, which is close to Chattanooga, I think it may be cheaper there. I want her to have this. We never go on vacation and she is looking forward to this.

So bills be damned and the trip will go forward. Hubby picked up some brochures for Tennessee attractions on his way to get cement and tomorrow he will pick up a coupon book, like I told him to. Maybe just maybe we can find something we can afford and the roaches won't drag us off. I want clean and nice but cheap. I found cabins at Raccoon Mountain, the one with a toilet is $55. a night. The one with no toilet is $37. a night, I would pay for the toilet!!! So do any of you know a nice, cheap place to stay in Chattanooga? Suggestions will be appreciated!

I guess I should go and get started cleaning and washing. Did I mention I hate Mondays? I did? Well, until next time folks!!!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR VISITING!!!!!!
