Half Mad Rantings of a Young Rural North Dakotan

I'm back at it again!!!

2008-05-15T12:29:00.003-05:00

Hello everyone! Long time no see! Have been extremely busy since last October. I was working a data management job up in Williston. Constant repetition and click click click of the mouse and the keyboard makes for a very tired girl! Once I got home from work after looking at a computer for 8 straight hours I didn't want anything to do with computers all night long. So I really haven't done much of anything on the computer for about six months.

No blogging, no ptc, or anything like that. I find that I actually kind of missed it, but the pay was awesome and the people were absolutely wonderful! If everyone could have a boss like mine was we would all enjoy getting up in the morning to go and slave away. :-)

I think that I will be on here a little more now that my job has ended and I am trying to find work again. I will certainly have the time to be on here. At least for a little while longer as I am taking a break from work for about two weeks. I will still be receiving paychecks from my job until then, so I can sit back and enjoy the kids a little bit before school gets out and they go on their merry ways to their dads house for a couple of weeks.

The hubby is good but looking for work still. But that is ok, I don't mind. I just wish something good would come along soon.

Well I have some other posts that I have to get to so I will write more later. And it is good to be back.

My car got totaled last week!

2007-10-11T18:58:00.000-05:00

Hey everyone! Me again....lol, duh! Anyways it has been one hellacious week for me and the hubby. Last Thursday night while my husband was at work our car got totaled by a grain truck that was in the parking lot. No one was hurt as there was no one in either vehicle, but we are out the car now. Insurance only covered about half of the cost of the car, but at least we have found two vehicles now to replace the one!

Sometimes things have a way of working out for the best.

We are off to the races!

2007-10-03T11:47:00.001-05:00

Just messing around with my profile and other stuff on the site today. Trying to decide exactly which offers I want to take and post on here as I do try to keep it to stuff that actually might interest someone out there! lol

Also I am trying to find a place to live up in good old Willyville! I got the job that I was hoping for! So now we are in a bit of a dilemma as to what in the world to do with the kiddies and the dog and trying to figure out how we are going to swing this with only one working vehicle! Sounds impossible but I shall prevail as I really really want this job! Who wouldn't when I get paid $12.50 an hour and all for just looking at images all day! :)

Well, I will get back on here at some point today to do another post and to tell all in how my ptc, etc.... are going now.

Catcha later,

Nice to see you again!

2007-09-23T08:46:00.000-05:00

Well.....Needless to say it really sucks not having internet hooked up at the house anymore, but discounting that, everything is starting to look up for me and my little family.

Hubby got a new job, after being off work for three months. Decent pay with a butt load of overtime so we should be getting things back to normal and even better shortly. As long as I can hold onto my sanity for a while until we move closer to his work. I have to say that in all honesty that I forgot just how hard it is to control three little rugrats without my hubbies help. Makes me wonder how in the world I got along without him before. :)

I guess we don't realize exactly how hard something is until we don't have to do it anymore and then are thrown right back in the middle of it again.

Me...I have an interview for a data management job on Wednesday. It pays $12.50 an hour to start and will last for 8 months with a possibility of becoming permanent. It would be great to get the job, but I shall not get my hopes up to high as I have a bad track record with getting jobs. Hopefully this time will be different. Plus I have a brand new pair of shoes to wear for the interview! lol

It is my oldest boys birthday on Tuesday. My how time flies when you are trying to keep your head! He will be 8 already!

Both boys are doing good in school and loving their new teachers respectively. I have not had a chance to meet either one, but I shall remedy that shortly. It is really just to bad that they will have to change schools in a month or two when we move, but they are both resilient to changes.

Also, little girl started dance classes two weeks ago. I cannot stop her from hopping around the house trying to do all her dance moves now. She has currently broke two knick knacks and knocked over countless glasses from the table. Oh well, I guess I should just relax and enjoy it.

Catch ya later,

I currently have over 11,000 points just for running it while I am on the internet doing all of my other stuff, plus you don't have to click on any ads if you really don't want to! The only thing you do have to do is click on Fiestaboy whenever he starts running across the bottom of your screen. Simply click click cash!

Absolutely free to join and really nothing to lose.

What you been up to?

2007-07-20T10:37:00.000-05:00

Not a whole lot on this end is going on except trying to cope with having a teenager in the house for the summer! Text, text, text is about all I get out of her! I swear if she didn't have that damned phone attached to her hand at all hours of the day and night she would die of miscommunication! She even takes the damn thing into the shower with her! UGggggggH!

The inventor of text messages should have to deal with a teenager when she is wrapped up in her phone more than she is interacting with a real human being that is right next to her. Almost humiliating how little she actually does pay attention to what I say!!!! I am already about ready to throw that damn thing away and she has only been here two weeks!

Are all teens like this?

Plus she is in this kick right now about not talking showers except when she is told to. I remember when I was 13, I couldn't wait to take a shower everyday and brush my teeth and look my absolute best even if the only people that saw me were my dogs and my mom. Have things changed so much since then?

Plus, she cannot stand to spend any time with her little brothers and sister, but she will go over to the other house and spend hours watching tv and playing with my little neice that is one of the biggest brats that I have ever met! Go figure.

Well now that I have gotten that rant out of my system......I feel the same.

Catcha later!

Are you interested in airambulance services?

2007-07-19T11:03:00.000-05:00

One of the newest and most resourceful things that I have heard of for the medical occupation is the air ambulance ! These things are saving lives all over the country already. And couldn't have come about at a better time.

People are always looking for revolutionary technology to help fight the war that is constantly being wages in healthcare and similar fields. All aircraft are approved by the FAA for air ambulance with life support equipment onboard. They also have registered nurses, registered flight paramedics, and respiratory specialists on board at all times and they can even arrange to have your very own doctor on board if that is your wish. Teamed up with state of the art equipment makes this an unbeatable new option for ambulance care and pickup.

Air Ambulance has been in service since 1983 and has gained the trust and support of doctors all over the nation so far. They will coordinate however you desire to ensure the smoothest transition possible for critical car and ambulance services that you could possibly need.

How is your summer shaping up?

2007-07-12T11:44:00.000-05:00

Well here in ND it is shaping up to be a doozy! The kids are already complaining that it is too hot to go outside and too hot to stay inside, so what are they to do? lol

Leave it up to my kids to say something like that and leave me in a bind. I shall love them dearly as I am throwing a fit about their obtusiveness!

Then we are planning on a birthday party on the 31st. Yes my middle guy will be 6! (Sniff Sniff) They are growing so fast!

Of course the only thing he wants is Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman! Gag me please. I have been going through this for over 3 years now with him and he is just as stubborn as I am about it. You would think that he would have found something else to worship by now! But alas the curtains, sheets, comforter, clothes, underwear, shoes and toys are all spiderman! The kid would literally walk around wearing spiderman everyday if I didn't make him wear something else every now and then.

I suppose I really shouldn't be surprised as I was one of those kids that obsessed over one character for years - Barbie! Well and Strawberry shortcake later on. But I didn't have every new toy and invention that came on the market back then. I got a select few and had to drool over the rest!

But little does my child know that he is already getting a spiderman fold out chair for his birthday. I picked one up when we were in Wisconsin for him. Then hid it before they got back home when we got back. hehehe I am just so sneaky. He really thinks that I haven't bought him anything yet and is pouting about it everyday. Poor thing.

I am just wondering what theme I should have for his party. Spiderman, you think? Would be the most obvious of solutions, but gets boring after the second year. We shall see.

Well that is all for now.

Back from Wisconsin!!!

2007-07-10T15:11:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone! Glad to be back and sleeping in my own bed! ;) That is really the one thing that I miss the most when I am away from home. My bed! Well and the dog too.

Hubby and I went to Wisconsin to pick up his daughter last week and ended up staying for an extra few days, but that is how is usually goes when we are there. Nothing ever pans out how it was originally supposed to. We had some fun and went to the big fireworks gamboree that they have in Cumberland, WI every year so I at least got to see the fireworks.

Missed the kids terribly though as I was not able to take them with me. Conflicts with visitation and all that good junk. So grandma had them for the rest of the week. Thank God for mother in-laws! (Never thought I would hear those words coming off the tips of my fingers!!!!!)

Hubby worked while we were there to be able to pay for the way back, but unfortunately we are still in the same boat financially. Which is not a penny to our names, but I am trying to get some more posts done for payperpost and bloggerwave, and also blogitive so that I can earn a little cash. Meanwhile hubby will be looking for a job that will allow him to take off for a week at the beginning of August so that we can bring his daughter back home. Not an easy thing to do.

Would be really nice of my ex would catch up on his child support that he owes which is in the $1000 range now. But as my grandpa always says "Wishes in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up faster" so I am not holding my breathe.

I am still doing my PTC, and PTR's and surveys, but am having troubles making minimum payouts on them, so I am still looking for other opportunities that actually make me money, so if any of you that read this have a good legitimate opportunity, please please pass it along!

Plus right now they are running a promotion for a FREE 256mb memory card with a 10" digital frame order.

If you are also so inclined you can place movies, dvix, xvid, and mp3's in your digital frame! Go wild and be imaginative!

What a fish tale! True story!

2007-06-22T12:04:00.000-05:00

Fish Story _ True story

A guy who lives at Lake Conroe,

(50 miles north of Houston), saw a ball bouncing around kind of strange in the lake and went to investigate.

It turned out to be a flathead catfish that had obviously tried to swallow a basketball which became stuck in its mouth!!

The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive, but unable to because the ball would always bring him back up to the surface.

The guy tried numerous times to get the ball out, but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry catfish.

You probably wouldn't have believed this,

if you hadn't seen the following pictures...

Be kinder than necessary. 'Cause everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Went fishing with the kiddies

2007-06-22T10:44:00.000-05:00

Yesterday me and the hubby went fishing with the kiddies out at the little dam that is about a half mile from the house. It was fun and relaxing sitting on the dock and hanging our poles over the side. We saw several box turtles that were extremely interested in us and what we were doing, but I wasn't able to catch them without getting into the water, which I won't do. I seem to have a phobia about not being able to see what is underneath me. lol

Anyways the kids did most of the catching while the hubby did all of the releasing. Bullheads can get really nasty when they are pissed off, let me tell you. I didn't fancy getting myself stung by one so I let the hubby handle that aspect. Damien, my middle one caught the first fish of the day along with three more afterwards. While my youngest, Madison, came in a close second with 3 catches. I myself had one and the hubby had one. Can we say beginners luck? Geez.

Oh, well it was fun and a great time with the kids, so I am not complaining, too much!

Joke of the day

2007-06-21T11:32:00.000-05:00

A blonde's car gets a flat tire on the Interstate one day;
so she eases it over onto the shoulder of the road.

She carefully steps out of the car and opens the trunk.
She takes out two cardboard men, unfolds them and stands
them at the rear of the vehicle facing oncoming traffic.

The life like cardboard men are in trench coats exposing
their nude bodies to approaching drivers.
Not surprisingly, the traffic became snarled and backed up.
It wasn't very long before a police car arrives.

The Officer, clearly enraged, approaches the blonde of the
disabled vehicle yelling, "What is going on here?"

"My car broke down, Officer" says the woman, calmly.

"Well, what the hell are these obscene cardboard pictures
doing here by the road?!" asks the Officer.

"Helllllooooo, those are my emergency flashers!" she replied.
