Now I'm supposed to share this award and the next with seven bloggers I love love love! So here's the next award:

I read so many blogs so choosing seven is tough. I am going to do my best.

1. Tranny Head over at Law School Sucks and So Do Lawyers because she cracks me up every time I head over to visit her blog!

2. Tonya at A Day in My Life I choose you because you are so funny and I just read your Shopaholic post and laughed and I like to laugh!

3. Brandy at Lost in The Woods With Nowhere to Hide because if I don't she'll be sad and I like when she's happy. That's what friends are for!

4. Amber at Proud Army Wife and Momma of Two because she had to witness all the ZZ Top madness here LIVE with me (so did Brandy) and her eyes are still burning.

5. Karen at The Rocking Pony because her kids are so freakin cute and do silly things!

6. Damama at Damamma's At It Again. She has quite the crazy life and her latest post is very funny as she is now the President of the DBD. Go read it yourself I'm not leaking details here!

7. Laura~Peach~ at Silence is Broken. She is so flippin sweet and I love that you comment so often on my rants and raves! And she just found out she's gonna be a Grandma soon!

Now I'm off to help Amber. Because that's the kind of friend I am!

Tie Me to the Bedpost

Yep that's what I told the waitress tonight. We took the kids to Roxy, Amber and Brandy to watch so we could go out with our friends who are in town for a kid-less dinner. The waitress took our drink order and I just had to try the "tie me to the bedpost". It was so good! I sucked that down and finished off Amy's Bahama Mama. I didn't eat much of my dinner though. Yep I'm a heavy drinker...usually it's Diet Pepsi though.

Then we got really crazy and took our double date the next step. That's right we went right on over to Wal-Mart! Crazy aren't we? We had to get dogfood and trash bags. How romantic right? This is our life!

I don't want to go to school today....

You're probably thinking that's what the boys are saying right? Well they aren't...at least not till tomorrow morning when I'm ushering them around to get ready and they are still half asleep because they've been in bed for two hours now and I still hear them playing upstairs. I guess the separation has to be permanent instead of just a punishment from last week, how sad.

Anyhow back to the title. It's ME who doesn't want to go to school. I'm so BURNED OUT! I've had classes, two at a time since April of 2006 and I don't get breaks in between unless I request them and they have to be less than 4 weeks and go from Monday to Sunday. I even have to turn in homework on Thanksgiving and Easter. Online school stinks sometimes. I can't call in and say I'm sick. Nope everything is still due on that day by midnight. I even had to turn in homework from Korbins hospital room when he was in for his kidney surgery.

With everything being so crazy lately the last thing I want to do is homework.
Mostly I want to sleep. So is anyone willing to sign my excuse slip to miss class. OH right when you go to school online you can stay in your pj's and cough and sneeze and even throw up cause no one's around to catch it! Should've gone to school locally!

On the bright side this is supposed to be my final block then I get my associates degree and will throw myself a super gigantic party. (Too bad the school dropped the ball and now I have to wait till summer to take my last class, grrrr!!!) Until then, can someone please find a way to excuse me from my weekend homework for the next three weeks?

You should know me well enough...

I was talking to my mom tonight on yahoo messenger. We had talked yesterday on the phone about my college graduation. I go to school online at University of Phoenix. I get my degree soon and we can go and attend the graduation ceremony at the nearest campus. I considered going and here's my conversation with my mom, who lives 9 hours away:

michelle: so if i do graduation will you be coming down?

Mom: if i can work it out somehow, i don't get anymore time off until july

michelle: well i might not do it

Mom: you snot

Mom: dont you tell anybody about this conversation

michelle: lmao i already copied and pasted it to a word document for my blog

Mom: you do know what my next question was going to be dont you?

michelle: no what?

michelle: please tell me

Mom: no never mind

michelle: please

Mom: ok, i was going to ask you if we all could watch you graduate online

michelle: lmao super

She had me, raised me, known me for 28 years yet she's still believing the things I say no matter how crazy they are, I love it!

Isn't that great? I even left in the typo's cause it adds character! I'll be sure to post when the online graduation is so you can all sit in the virtual audience and make your avatars cheer when they call my name and I make my avatar fall on the stage.

Have a great weekend!

Do you suppose blogs were designed to vent anger?

I'm so mad tonight! Mad about everything in my life being turned upside down, I'm mad that everyone needs me to do a million and one things and all I want to do is stay in bed and sleep. I'm mad that my husband only worries about doing what makes the Army happy and will drop everything without a fight for a soldier but not for his own family. This army post has been horrible for my marriage, horrible for our finances, horrible for my ego, my kids and everything else that matters. I hate it here, I hate everything and I just want to sleep. Why can't people understand that? Why can't people understand that my husband leaves in a couple days for what amounts to almost a year and a half?

Why do they think I care even a tiny bit about the lid that's missing from their Tupperware order or helping them make over their cupboards with the million Modular Mates they ordered from me last week. I don't care about the radio promotion I'm supposed to be doing for our Relay For Life....damn me for being co-chair anyway! But here in my real life I have to do these things for other people. I'm a people pleaser and to be honest that sucks. I want to be the one who everyone drops their things to help, when is it my turn? Instead I try to make everyone else happy and meet their expectations instead of taking care of my own first.
