I dont much care for Wednesdays. Mostly cuz of past fears of the mid-week child visit w/the X, but I am getting off track here.
All and All, today was pretty good. We had PT and Me. Which means Parent-Teacher conference. Well ya know, after such a miserable past week w/the kiddo, I guess he is really not so bad after all :) He gets pretty much all A’s, and like one B+. So he is a good kid and I am very proud of him! Smart, yet lazy, go figure.
As for me. . . not good. After such a stressfull last week, I gained 4 pounds. terrible. I am considering a colon cleanse as perhaps that way I might loss those extra pounds. uhg.
Ah well, there is always next week. *sigh*

I am so sick and tired of slackers! Why cant people just get off their big fat butts and do things for themselves!? Today at work I really got upset. There is this one lady who cant seem to hand deliver her own work to two different departments, so she has another person on her team (which is now my team since we mergered teams) do it for her! Well ! Today this person made a mistake and put her work in the wrong inbox. OMG, everything fell apart. This is SO Stupid people !!!!! Deliver your own work and then there wont be little bitty mistakes like today.
She sent this big huge email to our team too, all in CAPS, it was rather funny after I got past the Fat and Lazy part.
I guess it bothers me so much cuz the same darn thing is happening at my house these days. My son is being fat and lazy and I have had it. I am not doing anything for him anymore. Well, Okay I will cook dinner and wash clothes, but that is it! ugh.

I love Rocks! yeah, kinda wierd I know, but I think Rocks are pretty cool. My son has an awsome rock collection and now I do too. Okay, its only 3 rocks but they are big rocks for sure :) As you can see from the pic below, I now have one rather large boulder and two smaller ones blocking off my driveway. I am so tired of people using my driveway to turn around, park and run over my pots and chairs, that I got these rocks delivered. So There! But really, I do like them and they make for a nice little front porch area, plus they can be used as preschool furniture; my son loves to climb all over them (not to mention the cats)!

PS. I finally got my home internet running too, wee hee!

eGads, still no internet at home. Plus, we are swamped w/work here in the office so I get no time to blog . . .
Back later, time to work work work. ugh.

Well we totally lost our internet connection over the weekend. No clue why either. All the connection lights are lit, all the wires are in the right place, everything seems okay, but I have no connection! This is so frustrating. Last time this happened, my bro-in-law had to come by and take our desktop away to his home cuz he found nothing wrong either . . . . the strange part is that he found nothing wrong with it at his home as well, so he brought it back (after doing nothing) and it connected just fine!
Some days I swear I am getting old and stupid, so much that I might just get signed up for social security disability, eGads I dont want to be old and stupid.
When we get home today, I will try again and see if I can connect, or I will start taking eveything apart, and then put it all back together again. I need the practice anyways I guess. errrrrr

I am so very glad it is Friday, expecially this week.
I dont mention my job much for fear of them reading my blog while on their pc, but today I just have to vent. They did a reduction of force and got rid of 4 people and merged two teams. I am lucky to still have a job, and I realize that and yes, I still love my job, but I am exhausted. Four people have been trained to do the jobs of the four people they let go and I am one of those four. Meaning, I now do the work of two people. I know a lot of jobs have outsourced customer service and some in my workplace have gone that way as well, but still; I am exhausted!!
And get this; today they announced that we will be getting even more work from another department. Well I cannot take on anymore work, so the other two people on our team will have to get trained. The strange part is that the ones that are getting trained cannot handle all that work either so I have no choice to take on some of their tasks as well. My boss and I had a nice One on One today, and I do feel better, but I am still exhausted. I need to sleep, rest and get work out of my head for the weekend. I dont want to think about it anymore.
Sunday we might go see the new movie “9″. I think it looks pretty good.

I am in the market for FireWood. So I go on our local TV stations’ classified (free advertising) and search for cheap, yet good, firewood. There is quite a few; I was impressed.
Impressed until I got a response from one of the ads I emailed. This guys ad was for Pine and Cherry wood. Okay, but what kind of Pine? I emailed him and asked “What kind of Pine?” He replies back, “there is only one kind of Pine”.
What does he think I am, stupid !? There are over 115 different kinds of Pine Trees out there. I want Pinion Pine, a very clean burning, no sparking Pine. ”
So much for that guy, on the the next !

Yesterday my son decided that he wanted to have some of his friends over for a Nerf War. He was able to gather three of his friends at the last minute in school today, and they came over this afternoon for about three hours. We are talkin’ 4 Junior High School boys here; around 14-15 years old. O.M.G. I thought the roof of our house was going to fly off! I never knew that boys could be so loud, so rude, so obnoxious! I was just about ready to run away for a medical travel trip as I swear I almost had a heart attack!
Most of the time my son has pretty good mannors, but I guess when he is with other boys, things change. I never heard so much talk about farting, belching, swearing, girls, and the list goes on! I guess boys are a little different from us nice girls.
So next time he wants a Nerf Gun War, I will suggest he only invite one boy over, heeheehee.
