Quit Smoking In Less Than 24 Hours!!.....{only semi-painless}

I have seen the light. I hold the key to quitting smoking. Go to your local gas station or where ever you purchase your smokes and ask specifically for the cheapest brand they have. Plop down your money and walk away satisfied that you'll never smoke again. Why? because cheap ass cigarettes taste exactly like that....ass!!! Ugh!!! I did this little exercise yesterday and walked out with 2 packs of some off brand of cigarettes called "Poker". Holy fucking shit!!! They smell like burning drunk guy piss when lit, and taste like nicotine gum. My intention was to save money. I dread going out for a quick smoke now and I'm only half way through one pack. Usually I smoke a pack a day and I smoke each cigarette down to the filter. Half of these shit brand cigarettes I've only smoked until about a half inch before the filter. I broke down and bought a pack of Marlboro 25s this afternoon. But I'm making myself smoke the Pokers (that is such a lame name) every other ciggy break with Marlboro in between. On the package it says that it's a product of Columbia. I'm hoping I might find some coke mixed in with all the piss-soaked twigs and grass clippings...something to make this suffering worth it!!

And So...We Begin

This is day 2 of a trial "separation" if you will. I dropped Nathaniel off in Charlotte on Sunday to begin his CDL training. I cried of course. I'm ok now...thanks for asking. Things are going well for him and his cold is getting better. He said that the first day fried his brain because he was in a classroom close to 12 hours! He got breaks of course, but it still made for a long day. Today was much better because he actually got to drive a truck!! He said it's a lot easier than he expected. I was glad to get to speak with him a little longer tonight. He called yesterday on his cell phone but was roaming so we had to limit our talk. It really made me feel a lot better about this whole situation to hear that he was doing ok. I could tell in his voice that he was sincere and not just putting up a front. Geof and I are adjusting to his temporary absence. Tomorrow I'm going to buy some yarn with a gift card that was waiting for me in the mailbox when we returned home today!! Nathaniel requested that I send his tennis shoes in the mail tomorrow because the boots he has with him are too big and get caught on all the pedals in the truck! So, the silver lining is a little more clear and I feel that things are going to be just fine.

I just realized how appropriate the visitor counter is on this page. I never knew when I picked it that I would wind up the wife of a truck driver!

Booger Booger Snot Snot...yesterday I was healthy today I'm not

The kid is sick, hubby is sick, and I'm sick. I'm just waiting for the cat to get sick and puke in my bed a few inches from my face as I sleep...again! Tomorrow (maybe) we'll be leaving to visit my folks and then taking Nathaniel to Charlotte for his training courses. yay. This is the worst possible time for all of us ot be sick. Luckily we're not a bunch of crabby sickies. Ugh...I think that's all for tonight, my head is quickly filling with all sorts of unpleasant fluids....lovely visual, I know!
