My Life as Mama Jodi

What am I waiting for you might ask? Well the question of, “Mom, can I get the new psp? Pleeeeeaaaasssseeee?” And of course my answer will e “No! But you can use your own money to buy it if you think you really need it!” He has a job now, so he can start saving up for this big ticket items and but it himself! I don’t see him doing this though, as he is soon to be getting his license and will need any and all extra cash for gas! I don’t think he needs it anyways, as I haven’t seen him play with his DS in a very long time, that he “had” to have for Christmas!

My baby turns 17 today! Where oh where has the time gone? I knew he would have his growth spurt, but wasn’t counting on it to happen all in a matter of a few months! He is now taller than me, and I now have to look up to both of my boys… so not right!

He and John went to Cook’s for chili dogs, as that is what Trent wanted for his birthday dinner. I didn’t go as I don’t care for chili dogs. So I headed out to the antique shops to see if I could find the package of rings that I am able to make some cool rings out of. No such luck, I should have bought them when I was there a little while ago. I did find a cool dressing table that I have been wanting, just wish I had the room in the house to put it. I also didn’t want to spend the money on it, without talking it over with John. So I left empty handed.

I got a few texts from them as they stopped at Best Buy, showing me a guitar, and then an amp. I didn’t now BB sold that kind of stuff. I told him NO to his request of an amp, as I wasn’t granted the YES to get the new laptop I want/need. And what does he do…. he buys it anyways. Grrrrr

With my laptop I at least use it every day, where he plays his guitar once in a blue moon now. I am irritated, but what am I going to do. I have a feeling I am going to do a purse shopping binge at Thirty One!

I have that bug again, and want to go spend some money! I would like to get a new laptop, but hubby says not right now. So I wonder if I can talk him into one of those Korg Keyboards. I keep telling him that I want to learn the piano and or the keyboard. If I word it right, we could have our own little family band. If we can get Trent to start playing the drums again!

So wish me luck, as I am really hoping I get my way, especially after how lousy this month has gone thus far with our Jeep!

I knew that it was going to be busy once I got to work, as it usually is on Monday’s, but it was actually quite calm, but the waiting room was full. Then the rush came, and it was a steady, busy until I left. I am getting better as figuring out things on my own and not having to ask as many questions. I do miss Robert though. I wish he would have stuck around a little longer, but when the right door opens, you need to go through it when you can.

All I wanted to do was put in my time today, so I could get back home and put on some comfy clothes and snuggle down into my Thomasville chaise and warm fuzzy blanket. The winds were ferocious today, and the temps dropped significantly and they are talking about the possibility of some snow showers! So not fair, its not supposed to snow after my birthday!

Tomorrow nothing is on the agenda until I have to go pick up Trent from school and go to work. So I plan on lounging around all day and knitting. I wish it could be a total lazy day AND night, but a girls got to do, what a girls got to do.

Weekend rewind. If you want to play along, grab the above button and tell me all about your weekend!

Friday ~ Long, long, l-o-n-g day! I worked from 7:45 am to 8 pm, with a 45 min break, where I left the building and did some retail therapy at Old Navy. I FINALLY got my Jeep back! So hoping its for good this time!

Saturday ~ Was a day of shopping. John and I went and bought a mattress, hit a few pawn shops, and antique shop (which we will be going back, as we didn’t have much time to browse like we like to do!), picked up Trent and dropped him off at work. Then it was off to Logan’s, then Best Buy, where I got to pick out my birthday gift…. a stereo for my Jeep. I love that I can set the dial, display and what not to shine a nice bright purple!!! We then settled in for a quiet night at home watching “The Passion of the Christ”.

Sunday ~ Happy Easter! I was up early to get things picked up, and started our dinner. John put my stereo in, which made me happy, as it will save us $65 for an installation fee that BB was going to charge.
