Goodness me.

I'm so irritated at the moment. I'm house sitting for my parents, and they live right next to a very popular park, and a gas station/convenience store. During the summer all the drunkards that are going rafting down at the park stop and fuel up on beer, air, and other necessities at the gas station. Well while I'm also babysitting my twin cousins, I walk over there frequently if I need something important. (Ex. Sugar free rock star :P, a treat for the kids, smokes, etc.).
But it's such a hassle because all of the disgusting drunk frat boys there seem to think I'm there for their entertainment. When I'm holding the hand of an eight year old is it necessary to make remarks about my legs or backside? I mean, come on. Does that really work for you? Maybe you get the attention of some girls (attention wh**es, ahem) but you will not impress me. Furthermore; I'm engaged. Rather than attack them verbally, which I would love to do if I wasn't with children, I snidely lift up my left hand and flash my engagement ring. But do you think that stops them? No.
It's not fair that I can't dress for summer because guys think it's an open invitation to hit on me.
My fiance was recently telling me that he missed seeing me in tube tops, and short shorts and such. I finally started wearing them again for him. (Nothing too showy I assure you.) Which made him happy but today was just the last straw. This truck full of guys followed me walking back to my driveway. "Where are you going baby? Come hang out with us. You know you want to!"
Umm... actually I don't.. Thanks anyways. I feel like I need a sign that says: "Men, steer clear of me please and thank you." Like those commercials with the arby's logo over someone's head when they're craving it. I wish I had a sign of me kicking a moron where it hurts. :P

My parents are on their way home from N. Dakota today so they'll probably be home some time on Friday. Thank goodness... I can't wait to go back to OUR house! It's been fun though, having the whole house to ourselves with so much land to roam around on. We don't have quite as much property. My hubby is back to work this week after having a week off. Even after all this time, I still miss him when he's gone, even though he always comes home to me. He's spoiled me I guess. I get text messages at the same time every day he works. Before he clocks in, on all his breaks, his lunch break, and when he gets off. I wouldn't have it any other way and I couldn't ask for me. Okay I'm done being obnoxious.

I'm not going to tell you what happened today... it's something I'd rather forget. But I will say this... being faced with losing the best thing in your life, and saving it in the nick of time is something that could not be purely coincidence. The chain of events that saved my world from crashing into oblivion, had it been ever so slightly different, would have destroyed me.
Thank You God, for the wake up call. Thank You for saving my life, and his. And thank You for Your mercy.

I'm with Hanna & Brianna, they're still sleeping but I remembered my bikini today so we can all go swimming and I can get some SUN! I'm so excited. My hubby's jealous! Anywho, we're probably going to see Year One today with Kelsey & Kevin. Haha... that's going to be so much fun!

I'm in a great mood! I love Adam!

I've been job hunting for three months now and still have gotten nowhere! Thank God I have the opportunity currently to nanny for some family friends. Adam's overtime has been cut out, she his checks have dropped $200 from usual. So if I wasn't making some sort of money we'd be in deep trouble. It's amazing how we're both under so much stress and manage to stay happy. True love is an amazing thing. My parents are leaving for N. Dakota on Friday so we'll be watching their house for them while they're gone. So I'll be in charge of the house, the dogs, the cat, and take over my mom's job of babysitting my 8 year old twin cousins, and the neighbor's 2 year old daughter. On top of the twin girls I'm watching already... so I'll be running around after five kids... wish me luck.

I am hopeful about finding a job, but with the economy the way it is, and Oregon being 2nd in the running for highest unemployment... I'm more than likely going to have to work at a fast food restaurant or something along those lines. No one else is hiring and they're are people with degrees looking for jobs where I am. So that puts me on the backburner.
