What happens when I'm sleep deprived

Boobies, Babies, & A Blog

It's been a long week and I am seriously sleep deprived. When I don't get my sleep, leave me alone I'm a tad bitchy. So I'm taking my bitchiness out on others because it's my blog and I can.


~Fuck you creepy guy across the street. I admit I don't know the guy and I'm not always the best judge of character, but I get a creepy vibe from him. If I was his neighbor - tall, skinny blonde who wore teeny clothes, I would not want an old man talking to me. He should just stick to doing stuff for his "trophy" girlfriend.

I use "trophy" loosely because he may be the only one who sees her as a trophy. If I can see your make-up from my living room across the street, you may not fall into that category!





~Fuck you to politics! Again I need to admit to something. I am politically challenged. Politics bore me to death so I don't follow all that close. But I did happen to catch Obama's unnecessarily long, stumble over his words little speech on Facebook yesterday. The description was something about our economy slowly, but surely improving. I was so confused! One of the stories on MSN was how weekly jobless claims are at a 9 month high. How the hell is that improvement?!?

I skimmed the speech. Not only do politics bore the hell out of me, but I don't have an hour of free time. Ever! Maybe I missed the point, but this speech seemed to be about what we need to do and what is proposed.

Fuck this proposing crap. Just Nike it! If you're going to talk the talk, then please, start to walk the walk!

~And finally, a big fat fuck you to procrastination! I need you to move on out of here so motivation can move in. I have deadlines and you surely aren't helping!


Now if you'll excuse me, I do have a deadline to meet if I have any shot at making some money! It probably won't be much, but any little bit counts, right?

Out with the old, in with the new

It's been a long week. It actually started last weekend and it hasn't stopped yet.

Last weekend we noticed that our water heater was leaking. Not only did we have to clean up the water that was coming from it, but we also had to clean out the basement and the storage room garage. 4-45 gallon trash bags and 3 huge piles of cardboard later, we finally had room to get the old water heater out and a new one in. I'm sure there was a reason why we had all that crap in the first place, but what the fuck? Why did we wait this long to go through it all?!?

Tuesday was the big day! Our landlord was sending out his guy with our present. Of course 2 hours into his work he realized that the ignitor was busted. Figures! Water heaters and this house don't mix. I guess we forgot to pass that message along! Eventually all was fixed. Tuesday night I had the most awesome shower. Ever!


Wednesday I had to take my boy in for his yearly check-up. I don't feel like going into in at the moment, but if you want to read my thoughts on how shitty that experience was, go here. I also had to take my boy for blood work to check for allergies. I do not like needles or blood. Good thing one of us was calm about the whole thing. The 5 year old!


Thursday the landlord was supposed to send his guy out to fix something else, but he never showed. It's not an immediate emergency and quite frankly, I don't feel like calling again. It can wait a bit!


Today... well, I still have to figure it out. At some point I have to take the kids to the library. I also have a shit load of other stuff that needs done around the house. Some of these things I have a deadline for, too. I hate deadlines! Hopefully I can relax at the pool after dinner and forget about my to-do list. I hate those, too!


Wait. The pool is going to be filled with a bunch of screaming midgets. So much for relaxing.


I guess I'll have to wait until Saturday when my sister from another mister and I are going to see one of the best bands ever! The Clarks!

Maybe I can convince her to hit the bar up afterwards. Although the drive isn't exactly short. My bed might actually look better than a bar at that point!

The Hangover - Double vision

I absolutely love the Hangover!


The movie, not an actual hangover itself. I rarely get those, but when I do, it's never fun.


Imagine my surprise when I ran into Zach Galifianakis. And at the grocery store of all places! I suppose everyone needs to eat.

And what's even more amazing is that I saw him twice! I would have taken a picture but I didn't see him, um, them coming until he, er, they were right there.

Although looking back, I really don't think there are 2 Zach Galifianakis-es. Unless I missed the newsflash about his identical twin. What I really saw may have in fact been 2 kids trying to be him. All the way down to the beard. But their beards looked a little funny. They were either really good at trimming beards or one of them is really skilled with a Sharpie.


I might have been to slow to pull out my camera, but I was tempted to stop them and ask for an autograph.


Right before I headed to get some Depends. Pissing on oneself is typically frowned upon, even if you're laughing at something priceless!

Your mission. Accept it!

For once I don't have much to say. I think the heat is getting to me already. It's going to be hot as hell for the next 2 days! It's not too bad yet, but it's one of those days where you wake up at 6am and say "Damn! It's going to be a hot one!"





I love the summer and would take it over winter any day, but heat and humidity are not the first thing I want to be greeted with in the morning. Coffee is much better! It's surely not helping with the whole trying to stay cool bit, but if I don't get my caffeine fix, things could get ugly.

I don't like ugly! But that doesn't mean it never makes an appearance here on my little blog. There's some good in there, too, but it's those ugly moments that inspired this blog. I do have another blog. It's more family friendly so sometimes those ugly moments aren't appropriate over there.






Your to-do list:

• Invade my privacy by checking out the rest of my blog
• Leave me a witty comment ~ I check my stats! I know you were here. If you're in my space, the least you could do is let me know!
• Make sure I can find you so I can invade your space

My to-do list:

• Go to the pool
• Hope and pray I don't melt - lack of AC in this house is a bitch!
• Avoid the padded room
  

The padded room thing... I have to do the mom thing and do a birthday party for my son. Thank goodness we only do family parties for him! That will probably change next year because he starts school soon, but if your family is like mine, it can be just as stressful as having a bunch of little rugrats running around. And between what we got him and what my mom bought, I can already say it's going to be a long weekend.

TGIF

Those words can't be any truer. It has been one hell of a week! I know it's still early in the day, but I think things are starting to look up.

I am starting to make adjustments to hopefully improve this situation. It's definitely not easy, nor is it fun, but who said life was easy in the first place?!

I am also happy to report that I have not seen anymore rabbits in our yard. I think the cat and I are back on speaking terms.

I also haven't had to clean up after anymore craptastic episodes. I think that may have been a mom fail on my part, but hopefully we all learned from that situation.


If you're here from Friday Follow, you must be thinking that this blog is nothing but a place for me to vent. I promise I'm not negative all the time. Pinky swear! This blog is just my place to get it all out - good and bad. Sometimes I need an escape from the mom role and those things I can't put on my family blog. I'm not always comfortable posting certain things over there. For example, I'm sure my Grandma wouldn't appreciate those F-bombs I drop when I get pissed. Other times my intended post is a subject that certain family members readers can't know about.


If you drop in, let me know so I can stop over. Now if you'll excuse my I think I need to do some laundry. There's little people in this house that are trying to convert it to a nudist colony. I must get clean clothes to prevent that.

It Broke

Good morning and happy Friday! I am so glad it's Friday. Not only is it the end of the week, which means I get to sleep in the next 2 days, but it appears we are finally getting a break from the heat. I'm not a fan of things breaking, except when it comes to 95+ degree weather!

We have been pummeled with this hot and humid weather all week! We definitely got our money's worth out of our pool passe this week, but when we weren't in the pool, I was sweating in places no one should. Quite frankly, I'm over it! I'll take summer any day over winter, but damn!!


So now that I've shared possibly a little TMI about my bodily functions, I'd like to welcome any Friday Followers who decide to grace me with their presence.





Jules Out Loud is my personal blog where I don't have to worry about what I say. I do have a family friendly blog, All You Need is Love, but I would feel guilty when I posted things over there that didn't directly relate to my kids. There's also a few subjects I don't feel comfortable talking about over there due to family who sometimes stopped in.

Feel free to have a look-see around here and if you decide to stay, let me know so I can hop over and visit you as well.


Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome!

Hello there fellow Friday Follow blog hoppers!
Glad you stopped in!
I'm Evonne, aka Jules
Welcome to Jules Out Loud

Contrary to what it looks like, I am not a newbie blogger. I have another blog that is more family centered. I've been blogging over there for close to a year now. In the past few months I've realized that I needed another space. One just for me. Since I have family who read that blog, some more than I realized, there are topics that I don't feel comfortable "talking" about over there. I don't cuss like a sailor or anything, but I do try to watch my language over there.

Jules Out Loud is my personal space where I can say whatever the hell I want. I sometimes talk about my kids on here, but I also try to use this space to focus more on who I am outside of that mom role. I also talk about my marriage. I have a great marriage, but sometimes there are things that bother me. Sometimes I just bitch discuss things that intrigue me.

So grab a drink and have a look around. I personally needlike coffee in the mornings, Pepsi in the afternoon, and if it's been a tough day, some Captain and Coke in the evening. But you can grab whatever works for you!

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm going to be crazy busy this weekend, but I will visit your blogs and respond to any comments (assuming you're not a no-reply... that shit drives me bat shit crazy!).

Have a safe and happy holiday!

Just Nod If You Can Hear Me

HELLO!!!!

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?!?!?

Kidding! I know someone is out there.

Right?

RIGHT?!?

Anyyell, welcome to Jules Out Loud. I'm Jules. That's not my real name, but I'm sure you already figured that out if you saw my profile or the little About Me box over there to the right. That's just the name I go by on here.

I know lots of people who partake in Friday Follow so if you're a little confused, let me explain. My other blog, All You Need is Love, is where I've been hanging out for close to a year now. I guess I need to figure out some sort of blog-o-versary or something. But back to this place...

I started this blog about a week ago. This is my personal place. My family doesn't know about it. I really wouldn't mind too much if one of them stumbled onto this blog, but I would prefer they didn't. I almost feel guilty when I don't talk about my kids over there. And I try to keep that place clean. I don't cuss like a sailor or anything, but sometimes things just slip out.

I really don't have too much to show off here yet. Like I said I just started this blog last week. You can read my Welcome page - it sums up why Jules Out Loud started.

I keep telling myself blogging is not a number's game, but I love to have people around who read what I have to say. Hopefully there's someone out there who can relate to what I have to say. If you decide you like my place and are sticking around, let me know down below in the comments. I will stop over and visit your place, too!
