Markie and Amanda both were on their way home last night right in the middle of the storm. amanda was coming to my house cause neil has dartball and she doesn't want to be home by herself. well, markie calls and says 'i'm staying at work until the storm is over!' well ok then. lol amanda calls minutes later and says, it's barely raining. (i'm telling you these two are total opposites!) so amanda continues home and about the new jackson exit she calls and says she thinks she saw a funnel cloud. so i say, get off at fruitland exit go to dairy queen or rhodes and wait til it passes. oh no. she continues home and arrives safely. markie, well she stays at work until it looks better on the radar on tv. at one point the weather sirens went off and i would of loved to seen her face. i'm telling ya, if it rains one drop she is freaking out! lol. but she made it home safely a little after 8. of course she called several times (which i asked if she was using her ear piece she got for christmas, and of course not, it was dead. uuuggghhh) she swore lightening was gonna hit her at any minute and it was only, like, a mile away!. she is to funny. then she stayed up til probally 11 oclock until the radar was completely clear. i wonder if she has seen the news this morning and heard that almost 50 people have died south of us in tenn, kentucy and arkansas. she will freak. the places they are showing on tv are devastating.
well i havent talked about this smelly situations before, (not that i remember anyway) but we are getting new sewers in oak ridge. yeah. our lines have been broke for awhile, well for about as long as they have been talking about getting the sewers done, and we have been having to have our septic tank pumped like every year. this is gonna be so much better when it is done. but right now, oak ridge looks like we have some huge gound hogs running around and diggin everything up. and our yard is not exception. and my oh so smart husband says, this is why i haven't done any yard work yet. oh please. really, oh please. anyway so dutch is doing the work. which bill bonney pissed me off 5 years ago when i called him and left messages for him to call me back like 4 times and he never did. finally i asked the very nice secretary (and she is, i know her) if he didn't WANT to do a small residental job, or just didn't want to come to oak ridge, or what. well he never called me back. creep. so i guess i was right, he only wants the BIG jobs. cause now they are in oak ridge every sunny day there is. blowing their horns at like 640 in the morning yellin at each other. i am so sorry, but i am not a morning person and QUIT being so d#$% happy that early in the morning, would ya. anyway, i have gotten way off subject here, you really don't care about any of this i'm sure. but this morning a NICE man from dutch comes to my door and asks that we move a couple of our vechiles ( i say a couple cause it looks like a car lot at our house, my expo, marks truck, markie's car, amanda and markies old car that i drive to work now to save gas, marks work car, and the camper.)so they can dig across the rte E. well sure. (niceness gets ya a long way with me) but i don't have to do it until tomorrow. good cause i am already a hour late for work since i over slept. i'll get to that subject in a minute. sooooooooooooooooooo, it looks like the muddiest time of year is gonna be ten times muddier at my house. great. just great.
so the reason i was late to work? well i have had this awful, awful pain in my neck (a real pain, not the kids or hubby!) and i wanted to go to walmart before work and get mesome of these
because they are sooooooooooooooooo cool, well not cool but hot/warm and feel oh sooooo sooooooo good. i highly recommend them. they work great at work. it's like a big maxi pad with little heating elements in it. they also have them for menustral (sp) cramps and i think i will buy markie some. they are kinda pricey, BUT they last for 12 hours and they REALLY last for 12 hours.
so anyway, i decided i'd just go on my lunch hour and sleep a couple more minutes. well it turned into a hour. dang it.
but my back feels good, cause since i was late i went to walmart anyway!
