It's funny to me how these Words Of The Day are always right on target to help me express what is going on with me.  I am still visting Josh out of town.. Omaha NE to be exact.  Ya.. exactly..eeehhhh awww..about the best thing out of this trip is the tan I am getting from being at the pool and the great sex.  Other than that, not much to tell.  I am littarly STUCK here.  There seems to be some snafu with Josh's check being direct deposited and now all we have is $10 to our name.  They tried to blame the power outages in Saint Louis but as it turns out *ahem* some one didn't send a fax threw with Josh's hours and so He didn't get paid.  So.. I have no money to buy food, or gas, or take the kids anywhere or even GET home!  Josh works 10 hour days.. gets home and eats and drinks a few beers with the guys and then is ready to crash, while me on the other hand am just aggravated.  I am sure you can imagine.. 4 kids, one small apartment.. not junk food to apease.. ya you are getting the picture.  Not that it has been all wrot.  I have been getting to know some of the dudes Josh works with, not all a bad bunch and one of them has his girl friend up.  Her and I have been budding up and I hope that we can stay in touch when this trip is over.  I'll have lots of pictures to share soon too.
