So the Swine Flu

Well today I got alot done. I went to Walgreens to pick up my script for Tamiflu (not my idea) but now we have it just in case. Then I had to get hand sanitizer for the kids to carry in their backpacks and to keep at school in their cubby's. Well first store-sold out. 2nd store-sold out. 3rd store-yup sold out. After 6 stores in 3 different cities I have come to the conclusion that everyone in the north shore suburbs is completely sanitized. Well I guess we dont have to sanitize if everyone else is sanitized right? I did however find some cute Dinosaur antibacterial foaming hand soap and lip balm. So it wasn't a complete bust.

I am amazed at how much I got done today. I have been depressed lately over somethings going on right now and haven't really done anything. Well today I forced myself to go on a shopping trip (see above) wash clothes, clean the living room. AND I filled out my rebate form for my phone for $100 that has to be post marked today and I filled out my child support papers. Oh yea you filthy piece of shit I am coming after you! LOL In reality I filled out forms that I filled out numerous times before with no resolution.

Child Support enforcement in Illinois is a joke! And not even a funny joke. Its like that stupid joke people keep telling over and over and over again because you felt bad and gave them a courtesy laugh. So now they think they are hilarious and are looking for applications to be on last comic standing.
I filed over 13 years ago for child support. 13 YEARS! And have never even gotten a court date. They did however cancel my case when my daughter was 8 because I sent them a nasty, foul email telling them how much they suck. So here we go again. I will take bets to see if I will ever get a court date by the time Kayla is 18. Hmm will I get a court date in the next 5 years? I would say probably not!

But I am really excited that Saturday is one of my favorite days EVER! Its Derby Day! Derby day is HUGE in this house. I have ridden horses since I was 6 so horses have always been part of my life. My dad and trainer would buy horses from the track (Arlington Race Track) train them and sell them for way more than they paid. I used to work at Arlington for a few years when we moved out here. I love it there. Anyway we usually go there for Derby Day but this year we are staying home and betting online. Yes I am a gambler. Most times when I am online I am betting on horses while watching the races on my tv. I had the Horse racing network added to my cable so I wont miss a race. This week I am in a funk and cant seem to win anything. But hopefully Saturday i will do well.
Alright have to pick up my son. Have a great day! Dont forget wash and sanitize!

Another day

So I have to work tonight which I am secretly excited about. Today I am closing and I am in the Bears room which is great because there is usually a $600 minimum before taxes to sit in there. So right there I am already at $120 before tip out. Plus I have 3 other tables. PLUS today is half price bottles of wine and triple points night. So it *should* be profitable. Hopefully.

Today I have managed to pay my electric and gas bill. SUCKS! I hate paying bills. HATE IT! But I did it and I guess I am proud. Now depending on tonight, I will figure out if I will be paying my cable bill tomorrow. This is part of my road to redemption that I am currently on. I have made mistakes throughout my life and I am trying to fix my issues. A few weeks ago I made a HUGE mistake and in 8 days I start the fight to rectify that situation.


Not too exciting of a blog huh? There isn't much excitement today. Just a regular non eventful day which I love.

Finally!

Well I finally have a blog! It was a little difficult finding a name, however after discussing it with Johnny and Don this morning, I figured it out.
My Ducking Life
Oh Johnny and Don are my ducks. Well not officially *my* ducks, they live in our neighborhood and they come by about every other day. I will be sitting outside smoking (yes I failed at quitting) and they will come up to our porch and hang out with me. The kids like to tease me about it. Like today the boys came running in to tell me "Mommy your friends are outside asking for you!" First thought in my head was Oh shit! I am wearing a tank top and jammy pants, look like shit, gut hanging out, make up still on from last night and my hair was a mess. Please don't let this be someone from work stopping by or someone I like that will reevaluate our friendship after seeing my look this way. And PLEASE don't let it be that drunk ass neighbor with the dog that for some reason finds it to be a good idea to walk his dogs in our yard and scream about fucking them in the asshole at 3am outside my window (true story).

So I walk to the door and find my ducks! The boys of course laugh and remind me those are my only friends. Whatever lol

So I sat outside with Johnny and Don. Decided to take a few pictures of them since I have never taken any before.
Johnny is the girl duck (brown) and Don is the grayish duck. The boys named them last year when we had to save one of their babies that they left behind. After that incident I kind of shunned Johnny and Don, they were crappy parents that abandoned their baby when it couldn't keep up with their walk to the pond. The kids and I picked the duck up with a bowl and brought it to the pond so they could reunite. And of course I had some other unresolved feelings with Don because after Johnny gave birth, Don wasn't around them too much. He would stop in every once in a while but really was a deadbeat loser dad. But after a few weeks, Don came back to his senses and decided to be a good dad and reunited with his offspring.

However I haven't seen their kids in quite sometime, they must be away at college or something. Whats really cool is that they are always together. For the past 3 years, anytime you see Johnny, Don is right by her. They are obviously in a committed relationship and Don doesn't even look at the other duck whores in the pond.
So anyway I decided to name my blog My Ducking Life. Much better than replacing the D with an F right?

So anyway here is my blog. Where I will ramble about useless things or vent about the crap I am going through right now.
