lunch

It’s a good thing that my lunch was so good because I spent 3 hours cleaning my oven/stove, and I’m still not finished. GAWD!! I love the fact that my hubby cooks, or that the kids cooked all the time (yes… it’s been THAT long), or still come home and cook if they want something, or jump up and clean up after hubby cooks dinner on Sunday…..BUT!!! my HELL could they please learn how to clean up the kitchen??? Acckkk! I try to remember to go in there and clean up after them, but obviously the black hole that is my oven, was getting “missed”! The fan and light don’t work anymore. They shorted out years ago. It’s a Jenn aire oven so it’s “tiny”, and black……well unless you stick your damn head right in there, you can’t see anything!! I found a cremated onion ring, and a curly fry in there…….may they rest in pieces.

I used a whole can of oven cleaner, and got 90% of it clean, up can’t quite finish it until I get more. Thankfully you can buy new rings and burner pans at the $1.00 store, so I don’t even go there! Also I totally scored by finding a whole brand new set of knobs for the stove on EBay. The current ones have almost no paint left on them, from scrubbing the crap out of them, so you can’t tell if it’s on hi or low, unless you’re talented enough to remember…….which I’m not.

The second thing I’d like to whine about is my headache!!! I’ve had it now for about 3 weeks. It’s always in exactly the same spot. It’s right behind my ear just below the bone there. It throbs like a toothache. The strange thing, is that if I turn my head a particular way, the pain almost disappears. It’s worse when I lay down, and it hurts like a sonuvabitch if I try and sleep on the side. It started in June with an earache on that same side. It wasn’t severe, just always kind of ached. I mentioned it to my doctor early in July, and he peered in there and saw nothing (shaddup). BUT it seems quite coincidental that it’s all been on the same side of my bean!

The last thing I’ll bitch about (for now), is that I damn well can’t sleep! I finally conk out around midnight or 12:30 or so, but by 3:00 or much earlier, I’m wide awake, and end up watching movies until I can get up and make coffee! It’s pissing me off! The thing is, I don’t even nap during the day anymore, which I always used to be able to do at the drop of a hat! I’m sure hoping as I get working, and working out again, that I’ll start to sleep better! I could be kind of witch on a broom working with all these little kids with all their problems if I’m running on empty with a continual headache on the left side of my bean, suffering from oven cleaner inhalation asphixiation, cappucino withdrawal, and DIETING! Gawd save us all!
