Here's my work rant. I think this is contributing to my stress.

I work with teens. Not the good ones. The ones who rob you and then ask you what your problem is afterwards. But some of em are just dumb @ss teens with no direction. Those are the ones who drive me the nuttiest. :he

So one has his grill in. For those not into the lingo, that would be a gold plate worn over the teeth. I ask him to remove it and he tells me he can't it is permant. So I tell him we will have to contact a guardian and have him taken to the dentist to have it removed. He asks me why I gotta be all up in his business. :barnie You think they could come up with something origional. I let him know it's a standard dress code and he knows it, we have had this debate MANY times prior. So I begin to write a report when he pull off his grill. :duc I said, wow so it is removable. And he again says I need to step out of his face and why I wanna go and be so white.
This is when in my head I jump out at him and say "cuz I'm the toof fairy mofo." :duc

But I don't. I thank him for doing as asked and walk away. As I am called a dumb cracker, female dog.

I really dont care if they dress like Fifty or whoever. It's my job to teach them adult responsibility. Enforce the few rules they have. that sort of thing. Most of the time I really don't let it bother me.
I don't have to bring them home, so whatever. But lately, :rant it's like they have nothing better to do then make me wanna drown em in the rain barrel. :somad

God help me, the day the sagging pants go out of style is the day I have the biggest party at my house. :celebrate
I've seen more teen boxers than a aeropostale photographer. :sick

:lol: So I am looking threw the new freezer cook book I bought. Liking it. :drool I can cook all kinds of stuff. Throw it in the freezer and not worry about starving kids while I'm in class. Next step is to inventory food at house. Make grocery list and viola! Oh wait, forgot about cooking all day. Cooling, baggin, wrapping, labeling etc I will have to do too. :hide But I am going to do this.

I do have to buy more freezer containers, and we need glass glasses. I threw out all our plastic. Cuz my kids are big enuf to eat off real plates now and we had an ecoli scare with our water supply so I just chunked stuff instead of risking it. :hu

Todays to do list:

Get off work, get kids, go to lawyer. Work on Psyc class papers. Feed kids, go to class, get home at ten tonite and work on tomorrow's class. sleep for a few mins and get up and start over. Similar schedule for Thursday.
Friday. Go home and get kids packed for visit with father. Meaning pack a weekends worth of food and clothes and toothbrushes and paste, hairbrush, femine hygeine, zit med, glasses, and on and on. Seems he cant keep those things, yet I am forced to hand the kids over to him. Two weeks this summer with him and all he bought for them was bread, butter and tortillas. Makes me furious :barnie But hey our judicial system is protecting a parents rights. :he

Weekend list. Cut out ruined carpet. Replace. Still havent finished parqay in hallway. Catch up on laundry and put up all the freezer food. Drink heavily. :ya Make up for bad week.

:hugs oh and do a lil that with the husband.

Sagging pants with half or more of his boxers hanging out over the top is a turn off. :sick If I don't want a guy romantically- I don't want to see his underwear!
My Father and Grandpa wore boxers. :old
Young studly guys should wear underwear that show off their stuff a little. :bun

Ok. So the boss went to Ohio for some football game or some crap. So Im alone. Muhhwaaa. :ya

So I have started my grocery list for my attempt at freezing meals for the family. :clap

So, I realized i keep saying so, so I am gonna try not to the rest of this entry. :duc

I wanted to share a recipe for homade crescent rolls.

3 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 cups of warm water
1/2 cup softened butter
2/3 cups nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup mashed potato flakes
2 eggs
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
6 to 6 and 1/2 cups all-porpose flour.

In a large bowl dissolve yeast in the warm water. Add the butter, milk powder, sugar, potato flakes, eggs, salt and 3 cups flour. Beat til smooth. Stilr enough remaining flour to form firm dough.

Turn onto a heavily floured surface: knewad 8-10 times. Divide dough in half. Roll each portion into a 12 in. circle" cut each circle in to 16 wedges. Roll up wedges from the wide ends and place point side down on waxed paper- lined baking sheets. Curve ends to form crescents.

Cover and freeze, When firm, transfer to large freezer bags. May be frozen 4 weeks.

Cook: Arrange frozen rolls 2 in. apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Cover and thaw inthe fridge overnite.

Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 mins until golden brown.

This just sounds yummy. :drool and easy :weee

Freezer is sooo stocked. And I still have more to do. :weee

I like the way it feels to be stocked. :celebrate

So hada good weekend. Work week is going smoother. :clap

Also I am working on improving my outlook about things. Helps that things are becoming more positive. Hubby isn't commuting 150 miles a day. :woot That has helped his outlook for dang sure.
Kids are home for the next month with minimal visits from dad. That should help their outlook. :love

So I guess today I can say is a good day. Even though I have a bit of a stomach bug, :sick I'm allright. Cus I aint puked yet. :D

I was told my tubal was successful, but it sure feels like the pregnancy queezies. :sick I think I would fall over dead if I was. :th God knows the hubby would. :lol:

Thankyou. Work is pretty much the same, just trying to improve my attitude. :duc Sometimes an attitude adjustment makes all the difference.

Pumpkin butter shounds good. :drool That would be so good on cinnamon raisan toast. With a cup of hot tea. I'm getting hungry. Lunch is still an hour away too.

I give you a lot of credit for working with those kids. I know I couldn't. So disrespectful. What is this country going to do when they are the grownups? We think it is bad now, just wait till this generation of teenagers are the adults.

Thats the hardest part. Kids are so influenced by tv that they dont have the boundries, even parents who try are hard pressed to counteract the friends, the tv, internet, etc. It's a whole different world out there.
Most of the kids are good kids with bad lives, but some. Well thats what the prisons are for. :idunno

Oh and my prize this weekend, the transmission went in hubby's truck. :somad 1600.00 :barnie

And hubby wants to have attitude because he has to give two pay checks up for this. Cuz that leaves him no spending money. :hit :smack seriously??? I have to get up an hour earlier as do the kids to take him to work. And pick him up. I also made tons of stuff to pack his lunches. You know, not once have i even thought to complain about the extra two to three hundred a week he pockets from his paycheck. It's his pay and his call, long as the bills are paid. It a huge gapping wound in the savings department but again his call. My check goes straight to bills, I pay the mortgage, insurance on house and both cars, utilities and internet. He pays for his phone. Then gives a few hundred towards bills that he ends up borrowing back for this reason or that. :rant
Sorry I am ranting. I'm just fired up. Its your truck, your exspense, he knows he has the extra income, not me. But he is hoping that I will pay this one, cuz I pay all the bills, well nope not this time buddy. Course he has the attitude of no biggie.Cus it doesnt throw his schedule off any. I truly love this man, but he is still sometimes a bona fide MAN. :he
