Yes I know

I have been sucking major ass when it comes to updating my Blog. It seems since Em has started Preschool,riding, cleaning house, and with the normal every day stuff that I have been having a hard time keeping up with everything. Life is just more busy than it has been. Keith has been doing field training and has another long one coming up in a couple of weeks. Then he goes to Iraq in just a couple of months. Plus we have been making trips to NY more and more. I like it... hopefully I will be going again in June once Kari has the baby. Things are always chaotic and tiring there and when I get back here it takes some time to get back on track.
Anyway, I got my Birthday gift. I got me a new car. Yes, another one. Let's see... Since we have been back from Japan (We left hell in 2000) We have had (not in any order), two Nissan Sentras(One Red One Green), One Honda Element, One Toyota Echo, One Honda Civic (It shouldn't count though, it was old as dirt and I only had it for about a month), Two Red Jeep Libertys, (Yes, that is right 2), and now of course we have Keith's Mustang and now I have my Toyota Prius. You could say we like to buy new cars... Anyway, I saw the new commercial for it and checked it out the other day. I fell in love... I had to have it. I told Keith and he said if I could get a good deal I could get it. Ummm, out of all the cars we have had I never did the wheeling and dealing. NEVER! So, I called him out on it and went to the dealer and did just that. I think I did pretty good... I got my Jeep paid off, got the extended warranty, and 3 thousand off the sticker... Not too shabby, I think.
Anyway, It has all the bells and whistles and I am in love! And yes, I actually plan on keeping this one!

So, this is another reason why I haven't been blogging besides lack of time... I just can't think of much to say lately. The most exciting thing that has happened to me is my dumb ass walking in a mound of fire ants. After telling Emmy non friggin stop the past few weeks to watch where she walks because the ants are going to bite her toes off... My stupid ass walks right in one and not only that I stand in it for a few seconds before I realize the fuckers are biting me. So, I had to once again to do the dumb ass dance in my front yard yelling and screaming all sorts of F bombs. They got me good. My right foot has several bites on it. They are all going to die tomorrow. Enjoy your last day fuckers...

So, I haven't been out riding as much as I would like the past couple of weeks. The weather has not been good to me people and/or shit has been coming up. During my lessons though I felt some improvement had been made. I am not by any means ready to ride in any sort of professional manner but I am gaining some confidence and learning allot. There is so much to learn and so much to remember while riding. Plus, I am older... it is harder for an old dog to learn new tricks... especially one that has horrible knees.
Anyway..Em is adjusting to school. The first couple of times I dropped her off she cried. Then she only cried after I picked her up because she wanted me to know she was not happy with me. Then we would drive by the school and she would say "No school Mommy"... that isn't a good sign! This past week though she didn't even look back when I left... so that is better. The teacher said she is warming up and adjusting. So, I am happy with that. I am sure she will be fine and do well. For the 2.5 hours she is there I literally sit in a vegetative state either on the computer or TV. It is wonderful and I too am adjusting!
So, that's all your going to get for now. My foot is itching the shit out me so I am in need of some meds. Wish me luck... until later.
