09:44 am - The war is won!!! BY ME
Hey all, throw on your boots we are having a party! Here is the throwdown on the mouse. Ok Tuesday night I thought ok I will just take out the glue traps they dont feel that sticky and clean up the traps so i washed them and put new peanut butter on them but I put it on the bar not on the flippy thing.. and you know what I had a DEAD mouse Wednesday morning.. wooohooo fat little bastard but dead. He must have been eating high on the hog for a few months. Buffet is over buster!
I have came to think that I am kind of liking all this free time I have, and even though Keith isnt home much .. we are getting along better now than we did before. Maybe that is what I need- a man that isnt around much .. ha ha.
Logan is still Logan you never know what that boy is going to say or do. He is very whitty. Hali is just any average preteen girl... ugh life is good- right? I cant wait for the weather to get warmer so I can work in the yard, plant my flowers :) go help Amy plant hers awwwwww dont that sound nice? And the kids can go outside and play or chase the birds play in the street, as long as they are not under my feet I will be fine.
And you know when the weather is nice people seem to be nicer for the most part, smiles, waves, sometimes a finger depending on if they took your parking spot you were waiting on at wal-mart.
SPRING COME SOON!!!!! SPREAD SOME SUNSHINE!! WAKE NEW LIFE!!!

02:07 pm - Update on the War
LOL or here is the scoop on the freakin mouse.. i have 2 glue traps in the drawer and 2 flip traps in the drawer .. somehow he is going to be dead! Well nothing last night so i am hoping tonight maybe and if not .. well i guess the bait thing will have to work and hope to god he dont die in my house because he will stink and i dont know what i will do then.
Logan and I spent the day together yesterday and we had a good day. I think the big blow-up i had with him the other night scared him to death because now when he does something he says .. you not mad at me? I be good boy. Although he isnt pushing my buttons as much. whewww i was thinking i was going to have to give him to amy with his papers and all like you do a dog.
Keith and I are still doing ok.. things are just pluggin along, we dont see each other much.. lol maybe that is why things are good. Anyway I dont really have alot to say just same ol same ol. Well i will update you all later. Have a good weekend.

09:52 am - Iam call it War!!! War I said ... W A R
OK ...do do do .. Attention please.. updates from Rita land. Ok to catch those of you up besides Amy she knows all about this. I have a mouse! Ya you heard me. and for me.. that is a big deal not that iam scared of him but YUK and he is under my cabinet in the kitchen so i cant seem to get to him. Here is the deal it has been a 2 month long event here with this mouse. First I noticed his "signs" so I got a little cardboard glue trap. Now .. the first trap the first day I had fur but no mouse now i have a nakied mouse . So i had to throw that one away now i didnt fold it all up the drawer isnt that big so i just left it laying flat. next trap I opened the drawer and ... WHERE the hell is the trap.. he ran off with it.. great.. damn bastard. You have got to be kidding me he took the trap. so i think get a reg flip trap.. are u laughing now. well this war is far from over. ok back to the reg trap 3 weeks... he is eating the food and leaving the trap in tack. sneaky little thing. So i called it WAR and I went out and got a bigger glue trap. I dont want to bait him if he dies behind my counter I cant get him, there is no way in. ok anyway so i put 2 yeah 2 I said this is war big hard plastic glue traps in the drawer where he goes for his midnight snack, put some peanut butter on it and all excited as I am i got up this morning .. and NO DAMN MOUSE!!!! what the hell gives. He is getting the better of me and this just cant be. He must be a female b/c no male is that smart. I will have the last say and i will be sure to rub it into him. and he will like it.
Next. Amy you are right Logan keeps me hoping and the stuff the boy says.. LOL oh my gosh he is funny. He loved Jordyns game last night, and the ride home was funny he tries so hard to hang with the girls.And the ol mc donald had a cheeseburger was funny.
I think Hali is doing alot better and things at home are going well.
I think I am the queen of the ebay with my big score of 17 ... ha ha I can sell just about anything lol I bought a DVD player that didnt work.. i didnt read the description very well before i bid anyway i got stuck with it and so i have resold it and broke even.. wooohoo .. all things are possible. And the coupon queen... wooohooo look at me go... I am thinking later in life I will quit my job yard sale for fun and resale on ebay for a profit. Search the web for coupons and save $50 on a $75 grocery bill... I can do this... it can happen. (light bulb) maybe that is what i can do in my new found free time.
Smile and be Happy everyone! Think of something that made you laugh today or last night. See you feel better huh
That concludes todays news update siging off from Rita land.. back to Amy.

01:18 pm - I am here
Hey, Well in the Rita world.. what is going on.. nattda.. sucks huh life is just life live it day by day and enjoy each day you have. I am still keeping my resolution of not cooking and it is sweet but I still find myself not knowing what to do with extra time. What do people do with extra time? Nicole.. girlfriend I could live through you, and if you are single an extra birdie in your pocket is not a bad thing, I sometimes think that I would like to have one in mine. Maybe an old one that just wants to take care of me. Fat chance huh LOL. Amy I hope you are having the time of your life, Joe is a great guy and he is trying to give you the world which i think if he could he would.
Like I said I live a boring married woman with children life so I dont have much going on, Even Hali has more excitment in school than I do. oh well Life shall go on.
I have a hard time keeping up with writting in here I will try to do better but when I have nothing exciting to say I just dont want to write.
Well Nicole I hope all is well g/f and I have not fallen off the earth although there are days I wish a black hole on Hwy 61 would swallow me up.

Good afternoon! And happy friday. As the poor Mr Groundhog seen his shadow we have 6 more weeks of winter. Now think about it. If you were him wouldnt you be pissed if someone dragged you out of bed into the cold?
Enough with the weather recap. Life in Rita land as we know it is getting better for now, at least this week. Although Keith still has not noticed that he is getting no affection from me; or has he?? I think maybe he has but has not said anything. You know men.. they dont want to admit when they are wrong. Hali is doing well and things are going fine with her. Logan the typical 2 1/2yr old. Need I say more! And as far as I am concerned I am doing well, at least in my own eyes, ask someone else and they might see differently but maybe not. I feel very positive about myself and my life. I cant wait til spring. I am still holding to my resolution about doing things for me.. although I will be honest I dont spend alot of time in front of the mirror when all I am doing is comming to work and no one is here. But I am still trying hard to keep with the other one of cooking. I think i have fixed a real FULL meal only 3 times in the last 2 weeks. I find myself walking around the house with my new found free time, wondering what there is for me to do. And I have watched about all the CSI one person can watch along with a few reruns. So what do people do in the evenings when they get home?? I just dont know what to do with myself now. I feel like a happy person..most days. We all have bad ones you know. On a different note.. as I read a book to Logan the other night I was thinking... as I read.. It's time to sleep little calf little calf what happened today that made you laugh?
You know that is a good think to think about as you get ready for bed. Bet you would have a better sleep with out the sleep number bed. ha ha ha So tonight before bed.. think what happened today that made you laugh? Ask your spouse?? Bet you will both have a smile.. If he or she dont think you have fallen off the deep end.
Signing out from Rita land. Sorry for dragging your ass out of bed Mr Groundhog. Kisses

I only have a couple minutes but.. all is fine in Rita land.. I went to couseling with hali and that went well i was suprised i was glad and i found out there is alot going on and that everyone needs work. I think my daughter is still on earth and she wasnt sucked up by aliens.. thank goodness. Lets see what else... oh well my experiment with Keith and the lets see if he notices that I show him no affection.. well it is still in the works and it has been 3 weeks and he has said nothing, i think he has noticed but he has said nothing so i shall continue with my plan and wait. Sounds evil doesnt it.. oh well .. the rules of hard knocks. I am sure this isnt the right way to go about it but i have tried talking to him and it didnt help.
On a good note.. i have kept my resolutions so far I feel good about myself my spirts are well and i have only been cooking every other night.. and sometimes we dont even have a veggie.. my life is so much more relaxed.. it is nice. well i am out of time .. see ya later

09:26 am - New year... new outlook on things to come
Happy New Year!!! A few days late. I have looked back at the past year and it had its ups and downs but for the most part it has been ok. We all need to be thankful for what we have and the friends and family we have and not dwell on what we wish we had and what we want. My New Years resolution.. that is funny.. everyone makes one and 1 out of 100 keep it, but I will play along here is mine.
1. Try to take more time for myself.
2. Think of Rita once in a while.
3. Fix basic meals and not have to have a full course each meal.
And Amy is probably the only person who understands that one, but I will update you. I grew up that you have to have a full meal each meal.. so that is the way I have always done it. It takes up a lot of my evenings because i am trying to make sure i have everything on the table meat fruit veggie starch and at least once a week a dessert. My grocery bill you ask?? Well it is about $200 or more every 3 weeks or so. I am going to try to change that and I said try ... habits are hard to break but so far i am doing ok.
My #1 resolution?? I dont spend much time on myself, when it comes down to it. I spend more time to make sure my house is clean and everything is done than I do on getting ready to go somewhere. I need to feel better about myself .. so.. I am going to take time to paint my fingers, dress nice even if I am just going to go to wal mart. Do my hair..I am in between styles right now.. I want hair like Zora on the nutrasystem commerical.. yea... like that will happen. Anyway .. that is my goals.. and I could stand to loose a few lbs yes but I think my plate is full.. no room to loose weight, maybe the meal thing will take care of that.
Keith and I are doing well right now.. he has been very loving..scary huh .. I am not sure why but it has been nice, we are sitting together one the couch and he has been putting his arm around me, no sexual touching just cuddling.. it is nice. not that sex wouldnt be better but i am not complaining. Hali and Logan... well Amy keeps telling me Logan is being a 2 yr old boy.. and Hali .. something is going on with her but we dont know what it is. We are going to try counseling and see how that works. Work is work ..I did get a bonus for New Years.. I was really happy that was a nice gesture on Sharyns part and although I could have used it for bills ... I spent it on myself.. got some new clothes. And I felt guilty but inside i was excited it isnt very often that I get stuff for myself usually I get stuff for everyone else and nothing for me. I think that about covers everything and you are probably tired of reading.. blah blah.
Happy New Year to everyone and Nicole you really do need to come down... I could wear my new outfit!
Peace girls

As I sit here today, the day after the big christmas party. It was ok it was nice .. nothing fancy and the food was great, best of all .. there wasnt really anyone else there to see us in the lame sweatshirts and we wear them as troopers. Jokes from Keith and Joe and all! They were so loving it. I had a little to drink couldnt feel my lips but I was dressed and didnt puke so I did good. Keith was actually fun.. yeah I said it fun! He was in a good mood and nice and funny and not a jackass. I cant seem to figure him out. Some days he is ok and other days he is a real butt.
Then the truth came out. He was mad because I made him go to the wedding and he had a cold and didnt feel good so to get back at me.. he was a dick. He was a bigger dick at the wedding than what he owns. But I had a nice time at the wedding and the flowers went fine and things are well.
Amy got me a gift cert to sherwin williams for paint and I am sure to anyone else they would have said what the hell but I am so excited I cant wait to be able to paint. I have been waiting for months to buy paint but Keith told me .. if your dad gets us a pool you can not do anymore home fix things until we have a fence bought so that means I couldnt buy paint or new curtins or anything.. but.... NOW THANKS AMY!!! I can get the paint and I didnt buy it .. ha ha ha
Although this am was alittle rough starting.. I am up and picking up house and doing dishes starting laundry you know my usual daily things, forget the coffee it is dishes and laundry. Anyway I get ready to leave and come to work .. and wouldnt you know it. Keith left my purse in the truck and he was gone with the truck so i had no keys and no way to get to work. I had to call Sharyn and tell her what was going on and that I would be late for work, not that anyone is here but someone has to be here to get the mail you know. I got here alittle after 10am but I am not hungover so to be alittle late I guess wasnt so bad since i had a good reason.
What else can I tell you that is going on in my head? Well it is colder than hell outside wait a minute I thought hell was hot.. anyway figure that one out. And still we have no snow and I still dont have a snowman in my yard. I so want some snow and a festive snowman as lame as it sounds here is my idea.
I want snow on the ground a snowman in my yard and when you walk in my house I want you to feel the warmth of the house hear the sounds of christmas music and smell the scent of evergreen from the glow of a candle. And as you come up the stairs the laughter and cheer of the family enjoying the season together.. yeah yeah I know .. keep dreaming Rita. I love having stuff at my house I like decorating and making a nice meal. Makes me feel good to see other people enjoying. But I want everything to be perfect right down to the smell of the candles. Cheesy.. go on say it.
Signing out

09:52 am - In need of a party for two
Dear Diary,
What is going threw my mind today?? What is happening?? Anything special??
Nah not really. I am still struggling with Keith and this job and the affection issue, I keep telling myself it will work out some how and Amy keeps assuring me it will be ok just give it some time. Then of course I dont know when to let things be and leave issues alone. So .. Not only did I hurt Keiths feelings I also started a fight.. one of the silent ones tension can be cut with a chainsaw. Yeah that was me that is what I did. And damn! It is hard to say sorry even when you know you are wrong. But after 2 days and the wall of China down the bed I said it. ( Not that the bed is ever shared by both of us at the same time but 2 days a week) but you know what I mean. But now we are back on the relationship circle going around and around until I get tired of the same ol same ol and it will all play out again. Shall we move on to something else?? i agree
We have the cmas party for work on Tuesday and Sharyn has this great idea to wear our sweatshirts.. ughhh I am not happy about this, not so much that we have to wear them..well yeah that is it. I play good sport and wear them to work. But you know I dont get to go out hardly EVER and I wanted to dress up.. look nice feel good doing it I even already knew what i was going to wear, and she just popped my bubble and didnt care that is was full of water and now I feel like a wet dog. Oh well I have came to understand her as a differnt breed of person Iam not sure what category she fits in though. Not nice sweet and caring, not hateful hag, I just dont know. On to the next thing...
The upcoming wedding this weekend .. guess what !!! i can dress up and I know what I am going to wear. I am alittle stressed about the wedding flowers but I guess I get that way with all of them when it comes down to the wire. Things seem all up in the air one day I am doing this and that now i am doing only this. I guess it is b/c I like things organized and together and know what is where and when. And as Amy keeps reminding me, not everyone is wired like me. But damnit they should be.
Well I am signing off.. Merry Christmas to all and to all a great new year!!!!!!
