There are times in my life (very rare occations indeed) that I wish I had someone that would tell me what to do. Today is one of those days.
Being a Single Mom is great and all; I get to do what I want, make ALL the decisions in the household, and I dont have to share!
However . . . some days I wish I had someone else to make the big decisions for me; that way I could sit back and say ‘Thats sounds fine dear”. No worries, No Stress, just mindless nothingness.
This is my delima today; Pay off the new Furnace (from last fall!) or get new Tile for the family/living room.
Sounds easy enough - pay off the Furnace!
Naw, ain’t that easy. The carpet we have now is terrible. I can no longer take it. It is a chocolate-milk brown. and in fact there is quite a bit of chocolate milk spilled all over it but you just cant see it cuz its the same color! There are also gobs of Red Wax everywhere, stains from old (and new) cat puke, some strange black circles (no clue there!), and who knows what else is soaked in there amongst the dirt. yuck!
So I am sitting here at work, wishing someone would just make the decision for me. Stuff like this stress’s me out. Even tho Stress is a great weight loss product for me and I always loose weight when I am stressed . . . I still dont like it one bit.
But the good news is that it IS Friday and I guess I can ponder this over the weekend. *sigh* So much for my weekend!
So far I have been doing pretty good with my walkings on the treadmill-even tho its only Week 2! I think for me, this is the best fat burner exercise option I have, okay, and want as I hate exercising! Today however, I am dragging and have not gone down to our fitness center here at work. I had a meeting at the time I usually go and its has messed up my schedule; and I like keeping the same boring schedule!
Plus, two out of the three treadmills are broken so I have to find a time the dang lone treadmill is open. Right now its just too much of a hassel. But my goal for the end of this month is to loose 7lbs! Errrr. I still have 5 hours left here at work - I guess I could find Some time . . . .
How do I know if it is safer to stay in the job I have now, or post out to another department? Either place is pretty scary these days, so I guess I would have to determine which is the most stable. But neither is ’stable’, I mean like Really Secure. I just want a job I can do everyday without worrying about if I will have a job tomorrow.
I am very gratefull to have a job in such a great company, but still-every day has stress releated to if we will be here next week.
I am so confused! I guess the first thing I am going to do is wait a bit, see what happens…
Sometimes I wish I was not such an idiot when it comes to computers. Hm, well I guest ALL Time I wish I was not such an idiot! We lost our internet connection at home again this weekend. I did everything I could think of, but nothing helped. So, I email the brother-in-law this morning from work, and he gives me a few more idea - in which stupid me should have thought of myself!
One thing he suggested was to plug the laptop direct to the Modem to see it if would connect to the internet that way. I wonder if I have a cord somewhere at home, if not, sis - I might be over to your place this evening !
Plus, our laptop powercord from the wall to the laptop is messed up again. It wont charge. Makes me wonder tho, if our Laptop needs to be sent in to check the plug-thingy as its very loose….
This is just the pitts 
We have Three Cats. . . but I can guess which one is plotting!
Thanks Tammy for making me aware of this cute quiz!
“Whats for dinner Mom?” - My oh-so-favorite words; not.
Now that I am older (and wiser) I realize just how nice it was to be a kid and never have to worry about cooking dinner. Every day when I pick up the kiddo from school he asks me whats for dinner. My reply 99.9 % of the time is “I dunno”. I am such a bad Mom! I wish someone would cook dinner for me every day, pooh.
I need to make a Menu I guess. These days I have to write everything down or I forget, so writing a weekly menu might be a good idea as well.
Today we have Parent/Teacher Conference, so I have decided to make Chicken/Broccoli Stir Fry. His fav veggie is Broccoli, really!
After that he needs to finish his gobs and gobs of homework which entails gobs and gobs of color printing. Good thing I got the printer up and running. . . however, I still have that cartridge that wont work that I mentioned in my prev posts. errr, still so frustrating!
Well thats pretty much our day. Gone in a blink once again. At least I have dinner planned today (unless the kiddo changes his mind and wants somethin’ else, sheesh).
The last week of February. Yee Haw! I am so glad this month is just about over. Now the only month I have to worry about is March. I hate March most of all. Its just so cold and dreary and lasts forever.
Oh, hmmm, I think my sister got married in March tho . . . I will have to ask her about that.
I am trying not to talk about weight issues in this post, cuz I seem to talk about it way too much. But today I started on the treadmill again here at work. Since I gained 4 pounds last week I am nowhere near my end-of-Feb goal. So I am starting over. Need to loose 9 pounds by the end of March.
I am not going to blow it this time!!!!!!!!
So I need a new color ink cartridge. There is this ink refill place down the street so we check it out. Wow! $13.88 for a refilled color cartridge. We get one, plus instructions on how to install as some printers do not recognize used cartridges. Guess What!? Ours is one of those difficult printers. I must have spend over 2 hours trying to turn off the memory chip so that my printer will accept used cartridges. I get no where other than totally ticked, frustrated and fumin’ mad. I am really not this stupid! So I take a break, take my daily vitamins and weight loss pills, have lunch and get my mind off it.
Start anew. Nothing! I cannot get it to work! So I go out, again, and get a Canon brand cartridge, $29.99, stick it in the printer and it works fine! errr, I am so mad!!!! I am going to keep the cheap cartridge and see if I can eventually figure this out. I know there has to be a way to turn off the chip, change the settings and get this working!
