The Walking Dead

A few weeks ago, someone mentioned that they are watching the show The Walking Dead on Netflix.  I found the show and added it to our "queue."  We started watching it today and are now hooked on the show! 

The Walking Dead is about living amongst zombies! 

a bee a boo

Yesterday, Kyle was saying "abee aboo" or "a bee a boo" and making it a little song.  At the time, he was holding his Winnie the Pooh movie.  Then he brought it over to me and handed it to me and said "a bee a boo" and I realized he was saying "Winnie the Pooh."

He also knows how to say "oobie" which is a show he likes on Nick Jr.  We discovered this show on accident while he was sick last year.  This show is on at 2am and 2:30am.  Now that we have DVR, I record the show and play it when he asks (which is all the time). 

Exhaustion Catching Up

Yesterday was my day off. I ended up doing a couple of loads of laundry and took a nap. The night before, I went to bed really early, so I felt a little more rested. The 6 days straight of working really took a toll on me. In the coming weeks, I have a few days of 8 1/2 and 9 hour days at work. I am not looking forward to them. I am really feeling exhausted. When I am at home, I have to do the cleaning and other chores that need to be done. I also do the job hunting online for Shannon. I wish I had more days off.

I am working tonight 5 PM to 9 PM and then I am off again. I plan on doing more laundry and cleaning.

I need to call Kyle's speech therapist to schedule a session but I have been too tired from working.

I haven't been able to watch any of my favorite shows on TV so I try to catch up on them online when I can. Either that or I am unable to stay up late enough to watch them.

Cleaning Mission

This afternoon I had plenty of time before I had to be at work, so I started cleaning again. I ended up cleaning Kyle's playroom where his toys are kept and there's a TV in there for him. We also keep his little reclining chair in there for him to sit in. Just as I was starting to clean, the big news story of the day was the 6 year old boy thought to be in the weather balloon was on TV. Shannon couldn't take his eyes off the screen.

I cleaned up Kyle's toys off the floor and picked up the trash that was all over. I even sprinkled baking soda on the carpet and vacuumed the playroom. I asked Shannon to clean that room a few days before and he never did it. It was bothering me that it hadn't been cleaned yet, so I ended up doing it.

When I finished my cleaning, the story was still playing on TV. When they finally showed the picture of the family, Shannon immediately recognized the family from the show Wife Swap! He had just seen a repeat episode the other day.

A lot done!

Our cable is working again. The tech guy came out and had to reset everything. I am just glad to have a working TV, just in time for The Bachelorette tonight! Jon & Kate Plus 8 is also on tonight, but my MIL is recording it and I could also watch it tomorrow if need be. I am going to watch the new episode because there is supposed to be a "big announcement" and everyone is predicting that they are going to announce a divorce! Update: People is reporting that they DID file for divorce!

I scheduled an appointment with a pediatrician for Kyle! His appointment is this Thursday in the afternoon, which is perfect. I always aim for afternoon time appointments. Trying to wake Shannon up before 12 PM is like trying to teach a pig to fly.

My MIL and I went grocery shopping today! She bought all kinds of fruits and some veggies. It's nice to have food again.

When Shannon took our car in to get repaired, they broke our gas flap door. It looks like they tried to open it on the wrong side and ended up pushing it in and breaking it! Imagine trying to open a door where the hinges are and forcing it in...that's what they did. Anyway, since Shannon never got around to calling them about it to see if they would fix it, I went to their website and filled out the "contact us" form. They called us today and Shannon explained it further to them. They are going to fix it for us.

The issues with Shannon's unemployment are crazy! They basically reversed the original ruling, so now he is no longer on unemployment. He just filed the appeal to that ruling! Hopefully they take a closer look at Shannon's side of the situtation. Shannon had me read through it and check it for errors, which was fun. I found a few of them too! He said he was "drunk" when he was writing it! LOL

It looks to be over

I started watching Jon & Kate Plus 8 in November 2007, I stumbled upon the show on accident while surfing the channels. We never got TLC before, so I never watched it.

I have decided that I am no longer going to watch the show. The kids are adorable and it was nice seeing them grow up, however, Jon and Kate barely interact on the show. They are no longer a family anymore, if they are, they don't even act like it. They are two separate people, who are still married. It's just no fun watching their show anymore.

In addition to everything stated above, they no longer do the interviews on the couch together. They've been doing this show for at least 4 to 5 years now (maybe more) and all of a sudden they no longer have the time to sit together? I believe it was Jon who said that their schedules are so different, that they don't have the time to sit down together. That's a bunch of crock, I don't believe it for one second.

It also seems like every episode, one of them is out of town, so that leaves one parent to watch the kids. This season has a different feel to it, and I am just not enjoying it anymore. I am not getting the same feeling as in previous seasons. They are no longer a family in my eyes. They are staying together for the show, the money, and the perks/freebies.
