It is sooooo nice outside. A mild 70 degrees!!! At 10:41 in the morning! I’m lovin it!
Didn’t get to post yesterday due to DRAMA. Yesterday morning i get a call at 4 AM from my Mom (who lives next door) saying someone knocked on her front door. When she got up and looked out no one was there but the dog took off running towards my house. I got up looked out and saw nothing. Turned the lights on in the house and went to the bathroom and turned them off and went to bed. I laid there forever and couldn’t sleep. I heard a loud Crash awhile later, but it sounded like it came from in the house, so I thought it was the cats knocking something over. When I got up the next morning I open the door and what do I see… but the windshield of my car shattered!!
I mean shattered! Some @$$hole picked up a huge landscaping rock (a half mile down the road- funny, since I run and walk so much I know who has the fancy rocks and who doesn’t) and went down our road throwing them at things. They hit my sisters trash box, my car, my neighbors mailbox. My windshield was busted all the way through. But the rock didn’t go into the car, it bounced back onto my hood doing more damage to the hood. There are tiny shards of glass all over the car. I don’t know how I am going to get it all out. The crappy part is I have to pay my deductible of $500 to get the hood fixed!!! I am so mad. I swear if I had caught the punks who did it I would have shot them. I know that sounds awful. But all of you know I am poor. I work for everything I have. I am raising 4 kids on my own, and that was my first brand new car ever. Since I bought it someone backed into it in the grocery parking lot and left-busting the bumper and breaking the taillight (which I did not turn into my insurance because I did not want my insurance to go up. I planned on fixing it myself eventually) and now this. I don’t know if this will make it go up or not! Probably! But there is no way I can afford a windshield!! I had to turn it into the insurance. GRRRRRrrr! I called the cops and they just filed a report. There is next to no hope on catching who did it. I put a huge poster on my car offering a reward if someone would turn in who did it. I just hope if the punks come by that will be enough to scare them into not coming back. I went on ebay and bought those mock video cameras and I am putting them up and the signs that say “You are being video taped”. Maybe that will keep the freaks away. I also am putting in motion detector lights so they will come on if someone comes in my yard or near my car. Mom and Dad are thinking of moving my driveway away from the road and down the hill so no one can hit my car with something. I am hoping that they will do it. I know it willl cost them a couple hundred for the gravel but I think it is worth it.
I am keeping the landscaping rock. I know it’s kinda stupid. But I am putting it in my flower garden. It is now my $500 rock. ![]()
I couldn’t sleep last night because of what happened. It’s creepy thinking of people running around out here in the country and tearing up things. I found the boys bb gun and put it by the door. I swear if I catch anyone out here I am going to load their behind up with bb’s. I know it sounds “redneck”, but here in KY if someone is on your property stealing your stuff or damaging it, then you have a right to protect it- by shooting them. The law won’t prosecute you for it. The person you shoot may sue you, but that is the chance I am willing to take. The guy who does the conceal and carry gun classes tells people that if you are going to shoot an intruder-shoot to kill- that way they can’t sue you. Good advice.
Well that’s enough on crime and punishment.
I am back on the wagon today. My methods classes are over and so I am finally away from those binge-crazy-food-pushing ladies!
I miss them though! They are alot of fun! So I am going to workout, and then get some cleaning done to the house. I followed Miss Mel’s advice and joined myfooddiary.com. It’s $9 a month but so far I really like it. I liked thedailyplate.com but I didn’t like how there were so many different, sometimes wildly different calorie counts for the same food. Of course your gonna choose the one with the lowest calories!! And that may not be accurate to what you are eating. I am gonna give this whirl and hope it helps. I have a new journal to keep in my purse. My calorie king book is there also. So I have no excuse for not sticking with it.
Goals for today…
Chop out garden some more.
Stick to meal plan.
Workout 60 mins
clean kitchen
laundry
dishes
clean livingroom
Keep a positive attitude!
