Week #2 of the 52 click photo Challenge. I’ll be glad when the pics don’t have to be of me anymore.

Well, see if you can find Pvt Jennifer.

Ft Jackson, South Carolina 1989

Well, I am not sure why still, but I received a Wifi enabled Kindle from Bzzagent.

The following are my thoughts on this gadget.

I will read more. I have a bad habit of avoiding the situation because of the pages having minds of their own. I like to read in bed, and the pages don’t like staying put when I am on my back. So…no pages rocks.

I have already read “Hunger Games” and am going to get the sequel this weekend. The prices of the books are another bonus. Way cheaper when minus the paper.

I can feel this getting wordy, so I am going to switch to bullets.

• TONS of books to choose from. Seriously TONS. Magazines, Newspapers and even BLOGS!!!
• I can Twitter from it.
• I think my 10yo could use one of these.
• When I was done with the book, it asked me to rate the book, and post to Twitter what I thought of it. Very Cool.
• The cool screen saver pictures that change every-time it turns off.
• It had made me excited to read again.

Bad bullets.

• The typing pad buttons are too far apart.
• There is no optional backlight. Just like a book, you need a light on to read.

Whoa. Only 2 bad bullets. That’s good right?

Anyway…..I love the Wifi Kindle. Even though it’s not the Fire one.

I’m a fan.

Did everyone else crash from Christmas like we did?

After the struggle to obtain the Christmas spirit I had, I finally got there…and had a glorious holiday with my husband and kids.

But I crashed the day after with absolutely no warning. If you follow me on twitter, then maybe you witnessed my terrible rant on the ex bestie.

On to my husband. The subject of this post.

HE needs to go back to work. He has been off since the Thursday before Christmas. Which makes this day 8!

I am not used to him being here so much normally he comes home on Wed and then on Fri. And stay home for the weekend. It’s been like that for 12 yrs. And I’ve gotten quite used to it.

I do my own thing. I feed the children cereal and other strange things for dinner, I DON’T turn the TV on till sundown and I DON’T go to bed by 9.

He’s home till Tuesday. He’s getting on my damn nerves.

He has been a little irritable for the last cpl of days. And yes. I did point this out to him. At first he denied it. And then yesterday, he admitted he thought he was in Culture shock.

He has been hunting almost everyday since his back got better, and he’s exhausted from getting up at 4:45am every morning. (Which is earlier than he gets up for work) He finally admitted to me that all he thinks about when he’s in his stand is Work.

Now, I can understand this. He works like a dog. All. The. Time. And he basically went cold turkey. His bio/brain clock is off.

I suggested a lazy brownie. You know those brownie laced with melatonin. Yeah, well they don’t sell’em in these parts.

Anywho…even though his clock is off, and he’s exhausted from hunting. I don’t think the gallons of hot cocoa and no sex due to his back have helped the situation either.

Since he’s been home, my grocery bill has gone through the roof, he has tracked mud in and out of my house 100 times, complained about how disorganized the house is, and watched entirely too many Pawn shows.

If he drank, we could at least have a little back porch party or something to knock the “edge” off. Maybe I’ll buy some craft beer today. That might entice him.

What has your holiday week off work been like? Weird? Tense?

Do “share”.

And send brownies

J

And we don’t celebrate Halloween. Jealous?

Suck it Febreeze and Odor eaters!!!

I found a product that really fricken worked! And I mean the very first time! I was not given a sample or asked to do this by anyone. this is an actual, real life product testimony!

Here Goes:

DH means major deer hunting business this year. He spent a wad of $ on hunting gear the other day.

Whilst snooping thru his purchases, (cause shopping is shopping, right?)
I found THIS!

3D Evolve> Dead down wind> Broad Spectrum Field Spray

I sprayed my 9 year old’s shoes inside and out, and placed them on the shoe dryer. (that dries them, and is supposed to kill all the bacteria and smells)  Voila! the next day, when he came home from school, I could not smell his feet or shoes!!!!! Usually he takes his shoes off as soon as he gets home, and you can smell them wherever he leaves them. I usually put them outside on the shoe dryer thingy, cause It’S SO BAD!!!! And they still stink the next day when he gets home from school.

IT’S THAT BAD PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did it again the next night, and I could actually put my nose IN the shoe, and smelled nothing. This shit is AWESOME!

I am sure his teacher is also thankful.

I think my husband paid $4-$6 for this stuff at Walmart in the hunting section. They have dryer sheets and detergent too made out of this stuff.

Next I shall spray down the sofa in the kid’s den.

You just gotta be thankful when a product actually works yo.
