Ok girls... I've got to get ready for work. I dread going there today. Dread facing my friend that is sooooo sad. I just can't wait for all this badness to be over with.
ok. all paperwork for the next two days is printed out. dishwasher is waiting for one dish to go in it before I can run it. abby just had her vitamin and my revised to do list is written out.
I ordered a bunch of stuff from my very favorite, most awesome, most helpful, most dynamic, most...well you get the picture....CM rep!!!!!!
I ordered some smallish type stuff off my wishlist the other day from sb.com .
and today, to celebrate not losing my job, not quitting my job, and not slitting my wrists (just kidding) I went out and bought myself the printer I have wanted for sooooooooooo very long now. I found it very much on sale. And hubby told me months ago I could get it if I want. So...I talked myself into it.
THEN I went to JAs...with Coupons .
some of what I got
PS - I got the La Creme Cardstock pack too! It has pretty plain in all the colors and GLITTER!!!!!!
Good for you, Elizabeth. You deserve to treat yourself once in awhile!
hmmmmmm...though, if I bought a small ppack of large paper, I wonder if I could print some large pics of the choir and use them to do a display window?
there is a place in one of the towns where we draw kids from that allows non profit groups to use this huge window they have!
Wonder if I could go to other areas that have empty stores for rent and get the realtor to let me use their windows? Or look for other places like that?
Hi Everyone. Well... it was a rough one at work today. They've eliminated one of the union positions in my department. Unfortunately, the low man on the totem pole happens to be my BF :(. She can bump someone from the afternoon shift in another department, but she has a 15 year old (born the day after my daughter) that she won't see, except in the morning before school. He husband is a real whack and she's scared to death to leave her with him. He's mentally abusive and it's really not a good situation. She can't not take the job in the other department because she needs the benefits. I spent 2 hours w/ her after they told her. They let her go home the rest of the day w/ pay, but I tell you, I am not looking forward to tomorrow or friday. The change won't happen until the 8th of June, so she'll work the next 2 days... have 2 weeks off for the shutdown and then work 1 more week with us. It's so sad :(. And on top of that, my boss told me there will be other changes and he's dreading the next couple of months. Please pray! Thank you!
Oh Cindy!! What a tough spot for your friend to be in! I'll start tossing up the prayers that something else will come along quickly - maybe she can use the two weeks off to be looking elsewhere for something that will give her the money she needs with the schedule she needs.
Yeah, I'm back. Headed to bed about 4:10. Hubby actually woke up and came looking for me just as I was shutting down the computer. (He never does that.) Went to bed. Laid there an hour until his alarm went off. Laid there another half-hour until he left. Still wide awake. Decided I might as well get up and do some of the stuff that I'll not get done later today when I finally get tired and need to take a nap. So I made an anniversary card for him.

Sounds to me like one very busy lady is trying to find even more busyness for herself....
Maybe leave at 8:45 to go to chiro when they open at 9:00. Or maybe not. Depends on whether I'm sleeping.
Pick up breakfast. Be at Kim's by 9:30 so we can eat and she can be at a work meeting at 10:00.
Get Ethan up, dressed, fed.
If there's time, take him with me to Target. Going to get Kim a new, smaller, working microwave today. If there's not time before she comes home, we'll go after she's home.
While there, make sure she gets online and orders books for her class this summer. Also "encourage" her to sign up for a class for the fall.
Help her hang pictures. (Note to self: Remember the nails.) It's the final touch that she's never quite managed to do to "finish" her place.
Come home. Probably nap, tho' I'd rather scrap.
When hubby gets home, we'll go out for dinner tonight for our anniversary. (Reminder to self: Let someone know I won't be at choir rehearsal tonight.)
I just informed Abby that it is probable that there will be no playing of the Wii this weekend, as I plan on taking over the living room and scrapping while watching movies.

Rachel was discharged about 6pm last night...she will have to be on medication for her colon the rest of her life. The gallbladder tests this morning showed that it is not in as bad a shape as previously thought. The low blood pressure and passing out seem to be her thryoid. Her medicine has now been increased.
Thanks for your prayers!
I'm back at work...and I came in to finally get the results of the cleaning survey. Someone actually marked Needs Improvement for everything. But I'm not going to let it get to me. I now have to dust everyone's desks which I think is ridiculous. People should be responsible for their own areas. If a professional cleaning service was cleaning this office they wouldn't be dusting everyone's desk. That's just going to add a lot more time on to my night. I'm starting to think that it's not worth it most of the time. Nobody is going to be completely satisfied. I could easily be here till 9 at night with everything else they want me to do. Oh well...I can't complain too much because I am getting paid and at least it's not retail but I'm starting to feel like a maid.

Ya know what? My hubby just had to have the cleaning people STOP dusting the attorneys desks because some of them are sooooooooo OCD that they screamed if their pictures weren't put back exactly right. I'd go buy them all a big pile of swiffers!

Nobody is always happy. If I didn't need the money I'd just tell them to hire someone else. Cause my co-workers complain about EVERYTHING!!! A bunch of them even said the vacuuming needs improvement...how can you improve on that? You either do it or you don't. I told HR that if they wanted the vacuuming improved they need to get me a better vacuum. I work with a bunch of slobs anyway.
that would have been my thought as well. Although I am pretty picky and get upset when people don't occasionally go along the walls and stuff. Our old sleep lab had a perpetual one inch track of dust along the walls all the time because they wouldn't take the time to get at that just once in a while. My kids do that here too and the one inch path of cat and dog hair is making me kind of nutty
