I got the waterbill this month and was shocked when I saw how much it was. It had doubled from the month before, apparently one of our toilets started running or something like that when it was’t supposed to be and it made it double. Thankfully all we had to do was buy a cheap cheap part to put on it and my father in law put it on so problem solved. I hope so anyway so we shall see next month when the bill comes.

This week at school must have been one of our most trying weeks. We got not one but two phone calls from the principal this week. The first time my mother in law went and picked him up since I was at work and the second time I called and finally told the principal to give him swats. And I know some people will say that it is wrong to do that but we were at a loss for what to do with him. We have tried talking to him, time outs you name it this was the last thing to do. And I actually think it may have helped. After that visit to the office he went back to class and actually got a smiley face for the rest of they day and then the next day Friday he didn’t get in trouble and he minded his teacher. So hopefully that set him straight on behaving at school.

I still don’t get it though because at home he doesn’t get away with anything and when Jason or I reprimand him by talking to him or putting him in time out usually always works. So I guess school was just a whole different thing for him and he was trying to push his teachers limits or something, I am just not sure, it will just be nice not go get a call from the Principal again.

I have very seriously thought about investing in stocks, however I have never really been sure where to start or what to do. It has always just been something has appealed to especially since when I was younger I worked at Wal-Mart and invested in the employee stock ownership plans that they had for payroll withdrawal. It would be nice to have some help with these types of decisions that is where MyWallSt.net steps in. They are a community of people who can help you make stock buying decisions and to trade ideas with about stock trading as well.

On the site you can use virtual money to trade real stocks. Also you wouldn’t have to worry about the dated printed publications because with MyWallSt.net the stats are live and you can the see actual stock prices and values as they change on the stock market. Also a very neat user friendly site that is worth a look for anyone interested in the idea of trading stocks. There is also a “rookie” contest going on where the winner can win cash money of $1000. Registering is free on the site and you can also create a custom profile where friends can be made which could set a user on the track for helpful stock choices and investing decisions.

For some reason I have this extremely bad habit of always thinking the worse and thinking stuff are not what they seem. For example there are things in a personal relationship that have bothered me for years and I have always thought the worse about it and then when the worse happened I thought my life was over. Well I got over it but I still can’t help to go back to that line of thought and stop thinking these things. It is almost like I am being destructive even though I have no intention of it, it just happens. What it honestly boils down to is the fact that I need to give in completely and trust. I do trust but I am very scared and just afraid that I will be stupid and something will happen right under my nose if I don’t keep my eyes open. Ugh just more of those thoughts that I need to erase!!!!

My husband was just telling me about a new patch for WoW that allows for voice chat. While on one hand I think that it will be a pretty cool feature on the other hand I can just see my potty mouth come out and I get banned for telling someone what I think. Over all I am thinking that since I can control myself when typing that sure I can control myself while actually speaking, so we shall see about this. Sigh, now if only I can save up for that mount I so desperately need for my mage.

I went up to Gamestop at about 11:00 last night to fight the crowd to get our copy of Halo 3. Well it wasn’t too bad maybe 50 or 60 people up there and since mine was already paid for it was easy to get in and out. I ended up getting in my car to leave the store by 12:05 and pulled into the driveway at 12:15. However when I got home I dare not to open because well that is for my husband to do so I resumed watching Angel on DVD and waited for him to get home, which was about 1:30 or 2ish. He walked in and immediately opened the package which was the Limited Edition in a pretty cool tin box. Well we popped in the game and he started playing through the campaigns solo and all I have to say is that the backgrounds and scenes were awesome. Bungie did a really great job on the game, and Master Chief was as badass as ever. We also popped in the DVD that came with that had watched the special features which for the most part were really funny and had some awesome art slides as well. If you have a 360 and aren’t totally in dark ages GO GET this game!

For years I have been depressed and at one time or another I have taken anit-depressants and anti-anxiety medications for that and anxiety. Well we had been having some problems in our a marriage a few months back and I went back to the Dr and got a new perscription of them, and honestly things have been alot better. But I can’t help the way I feel when I am on them, I feel like a robot with no emotions and like something will get over on me, it is just hard to describe. Well I quit taking them about a month and a half ago and my husband and I got into a fight recently, where he instantly could tell that I hadn’t been taking them and called me on it. Well I know that for my sanity and my marriage that I need them but I don’t know what to do. I just don’t feel like myself on them even if they do help me to be well not all moody and depressed. I guess I will go get my last refill on these filled but when I finish them and half to back to the doctor I will have a talk with him about something different. Send me some good thoughs.

I guess I would do anything for my husband! Tomorrow night I have consented to let the boys spend the night with grandma and grandpa so that I can go pick up Halo 3 for him at midnight. And I know someone is at least thinking “why can’t he go get himself?” Well that is simple the poor guy will be at work until no-telling how late. So I told him I would go up and get it for him so he can start playing as soon as he gets home from work. And to top it off we also bought the lucky guy the new Wireless Xbox 360 Special Edition(I guess, lol) Halo 3 Spartan Controller. Even I have to admit it looks pretty cool, now he is just thinking if only he could talk me into the Halo 3 Edition X-box 360, all I have to say is not until you kill the one you got, buddy!

My husband and I went and watched it this afternoon and well what can I say. I honestly thought it would be better. I really like the first one and thought it was one of the best movies adapted from a video game ever, well next to the first Mortal Kombat Movie (but hey I am Christopher Lambert fan from watching Highlander so much). Well anyway I kind of am tired of the Alice character and wish they would focus more on characters from the games, like they could have so done more with Claire Redfield in this movie and Jill Valentine from the second movie. I liked it ok, and if you liked the other two than it is worth a watch. Just don’t be disappointed, when you are less than thrilled with it.

We have been talking about working on decorating our house, we have decided we are going to rip up the carpet in the living room and have wood flooring put in. We are also going to replace all of our furniture and when we do that I would like to get some different lamps for our end tables with some really cool lampshades. I would really like to take a lampshade and fix it up and design it myself, unless I find some that I really like. I think it would look really good in our living to have some lamps so that I won’t have to keep the room so bright with the overhead light. It is going to be a long process to get the room fixed up the way we want it, but it will be worth it in the end.
