Robotic Ear

I am not a huge fan of the bluetooth ear pieces but I bought one because I found Jawbone for $20.00 and they had it in PINK.  It sat there on the kitchen counter "charging" because I never used it.  I did not even know how to turn the darn thing on.  Well Danny gave me another instruction lesson last night and let me tell you that I have been using it ALL day today, thanks to EDD.


I am in love with my pink Jawbone but I have had one of the worst days ever!  I just want all this bad stuff to end already.  I want my life back to the way it was.


I consider myself to be a strong person but let me tell you that one person can only handle so much and I think I am at my break point.

Damn Christmas tree

Well I gave in and decorated the Christmas tree today.  I really did not want to, all I wanted was to box it back up and throw it back in the garage or better yet just throw it away completely.  


I am not a huge fan of Christmas.  Mostly because of how commercialized it has become and the expectations that my kids have.  Every year I find myself trying to figure out what I am going to get them and then how I am going to afford it. Three teenage boys is so damn expensive.  They want TV's, gaming consoles, dirt bikes, mountain bikes, you name it they want it and I can't afford it.  It seems that somehow I am out of work every year at Christmas time.


Anyhoo, against my better judgement I decorated the tree and really did it because Dakota had asked that I please not put it away.  I am hoping that he will notice that I decorated it and appreciate it because when McKenzy came home from school today he did not even notice or care.  I bet if I were to put presents under the tree he would have noticed real quick.


Update:  After I made a big fuss about the tree, the kids said it looked nice.  Aly was the only one that said anything about the tree without me having to point it out to her!

"I don't have anything to wear"

And I thought just girls used this excuse.  I actually heard it come out of my sons mouth this morning.  Actually what he said was "I have worn all my clothes already this week."  What he means is that right now he really only has a couple pairs of pants that fit him and he has worn them this week and therefore he has nothing to wear.
These battles are normal and they are exhausting.  I really don't care if you only have two pairs of pants, get up and put them on and get your ass ready for school.  He then commented on being a dirtbag for wearing the pants again.  I told him that jeans are jeans and no one really cares if you wear them more than once in the same week.  I an constantly doing laundry and so lately all of our clothes have been clean and so it is not like he is digging them out of the dirty clothes.
I choose not to fight with the kids and I try not to yell and scream because I have learned that it does not accomplish anything.  
What he doesn't get is that right now I need to curb my spending and focus on a few things that are more important that new clothes.  He knows that I love to shop and if I could, I would run out and buy him all the things he wants.  He on the other hand does not believe me and thinks that for whatever reason, I don't go out and buy him the clothes and things that he needs.  
I am tired of fighting with him and I just want him to wake up one day and whipe the asshole out of his eyes and go back to being the sweet and loving kid he was just less than a year ago.  I lay awake some nights trying to figure out how to bring him back to reality and I just don't know how.
What I have learned is that every morning there will be an excuse and I just need to stay strong and over come that excuse with him and get him moving.  The drawback is that it sets his mood on super asshole for the day and then I have to deal with that.

What I love......

Is when non English speaking folk feel that you owe them something.  I am sorry, you came into this illegially and instead of lookinjg for work, you are mooching off our programs which I work hard to fund for your lazy ass to sit back, eat, drink and have sex all damn day long.  Why don't you take your ENTIRE family, which is all living under ONE roof and congesting my neighborhood streets because you ALL have a car and take your happy ass back to where you came from.  And would you please take Jerry Brown with you??  He can suck it!  I am over the PC buillshit and should never have to press any damn number to continue this call in English.  This is America and I should never feel as if I am the minority!

Public school systems

I feel that we all love the public school systems equally.  I feel the need to challenge them every so often just so remind myself how right I am and how wrong they are.
My latest challenge should be a good one.  I have an email out to the Assistant Principal at the High School and I am hoping that it is well received, but I just never call tell with these lovely people.


Stay tuned for more..................

If I could just put a stupid saying onto a blank t-shirt and make a gazillion dollars.....That would be rad.  I used to compile a list of slogans that I wanted to print on shirts and sell and then we had the idea of a clothing line for a bit and well we never did anything with that either.  A lot of ideas and projects that we start and never complete.


I still want to get the ball rolling with my children's foundation where I can sponsor kids who are not able to play sports due to financial reasons......I thought I was doing well with that and now I feel like I need to start all over!

A collection or an obsession?

Most everyone knows my love for wine.  The redder the better :-)


Each time we go wine tasting we come home with a few new wine glasses to add yo my COLLECTION, which Danny calls an obsession. They have have special meaning to me one way or another.  The ones on the very top shelf are NEVER used (and not even by my mom lol).  They are from our Sidways wine tasting trip that we took with our friends the Morgan's.  Those glasses mean more to me than life itself.  Kidding, not that much but they mean enough that when I saw my mom using one a while back and I freaked out and made her put it away and use one of my utility wine glasses!


 This is cupboard #1





And this is the over flow cupboard





The sad part is, there are more in the garage that never got  unpacked because Danny said this was too much already.

How a white girl makes chilequiles

I love to cook up and eat up Mexican food and it was not that long ago that I was introduced to Chilequiles and would like to punch my husband for not telling me about them sooner!


This is how I make them and so damn easy and so damn yummy!


I start with corn tortillas that have been in the fridge for a while and probably should not be used for anything.  Stale tortillas have a purpose!  I grab a few tortillas and my pizza slicer and I cut wedges.












This is my fryer and my best friend.  It has been in the family for a long time and needs to be replaced.  It is also very dirty because we store it on top of the refrigerator.







Mmmmm, frying in hot oil makes everything taste better!







The first batch is one and yes they always come out more done than the rest!







And we are almost done with the chips.....





The rest is SUPER easy!  I use the green enchilada sauce, sprinkle with cheese and serve!


Not sure if this will be tonights dinner or tomorrows, but I can't wait!


I also had to share my white girl way to drink beer...

Sunday Funday...Not so much!

Yesterday was EXHAUSTING.  Up at 6 am and on the road at 7 am to head to Indio.  Mac's game wasn't until 12, however I was asked to fill in as the Athletic Director for the Micro D2 team and their game was at 10.  I was busy ALL day and did not have a chance to even use the bathroom until we got all the way home.  It was fun even though both teams lost.


Today we are chained to the house and I am farting around getting small chores done that I would never really make time for.  So far I have cleaned out the junk drawer and the cupboard below it.  It feels great to throw stuff away.  I wanted to purge way more than I did, however Danny is home and he wants to keep everything.  I normally clean when I am alone and I can toss stuff and usually no one ever knows.  That means we have junk and crap we don't need.  Tomorrow is trash day and I plan on getting as much out to the curb as possible.


Another chore I am looking to complete today is laundry!  I have so much to do and all our bedding needs to be washed.  In between loads I asked Danny if he would look for this trap in the washer that we have read so much about.  Supposedly it is a trap where and crap from the wash gets stuck and will sometimes cause the gross odor that lives in our clean clothes and towels AFTER they have been washed and dried.  This is a huge  drawback on owning the front load washer.  Anyway, he comes into the laundry room and I am moving the towels from the wash and he is trying to open the door to the washer and has NO idea how to open.  How sad is that?  It seems I am the only one that knows how to use the washer and dryer.  I finally had to open the washer door for him because I was tired of watching him suffer.  Come to find out, there is not a trap, but rather there is a pump of some kind that needs to be removed by a professional only.  I am not calling a plumber.  I have Googled and read and I am fine with the weekly cleaning with bleach.  I have also started using vinegar in my loads (which also helps with the softness) and I now keep the washer door open when not in use.  This seems to help and it is all cheap and does not require my washer to be torn apart.


I was not able to sleep in this morning thanks to the pain in my knee from an injury that I suffered on the 4th of July this year and so I am thinking that a nap might me in order.  I love laying on my bed with the window open and watching lame ass TV.  That is a perfect Sunday for me seeing that my team does not play until tomorrow.

I LOVE FACEBOOK CHANGES

Ok I swear that whenever Facebook makes changes, it messes with the security settings and I personally dont even care because I don't have anything to hide.  Well maybe but you only live once and what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.  


I am home alone tonight, well with Bailey, but like I said, home alone and I am browsing Facebook and we all know how one thing leads to another (on Facebook, get you minds out of the gutter) and so I am on some persons page and their kid plays football (but not on our team) and so I was browsing photos and well you look a lot haggard and most importantly you look MUCH better in black and white.  I understand the desire to get married again and at a LATER age, but holy guacamole!  Thanks for the laughs.  I know I will rot in hell for this and not sleep tonight and have painful heartburn, but it was worth it.  


Now when we cross paths in the park, I will always laugh.

All in all I had an amazing weekend.  I got to spend Friday  night with Dakota and Ally.  Poor Ally got to meet the McDade's; probably should not have sprung them all on her at once (all except Amanda).


Little weird things are going on around the house that are disturbing and I need to try and wrap my heard around it.  It is keeping me up at night and I am NOT sleeping well.

The things kids say...

The things kids say...

So i am getting ready for the evening and Mckenzy comes in to keep me company and is staring at himself in my bathroom mirror and says "so where do I get my good looks from?"  I know that everyone calls him Danny Jr, but with it being just him and I, I say "DUH, from me of course!"  He sighs (in a good way) and continues to admire himself in the mirror, sees his dimples and then begins to tell me that a gal pal at school tells him that dimples are from when your mom is already prego with you and they have sex and the "thing" hits you in the face.  

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Home and Bored

Today I am home with Mckenzy due to his bee sting form yesterday.  Not really what I had in mind, but I need to make sure that he is feeling better before game time tomorrow!


I am trying to get stuff done around the house since this would be a good time to get caught up on stuff, but I am lazy and cannot get motivated.  


McKenzy and I found a really cool show on TV that is hard to stop watching.  Bizarre ER.

Sunday September 25, 2011

Today we celebrated a team-mates birthday with water slides and nachos.  It was a fun ans stress free day.  The kids all had a blast and I enjoyed pigging out on nachos and hotdogs!  

This is what a "snack bar" should look like

Hoping dreams really do come true!

I had a dream last night that I was at a social gathering and a specific person was there, that I guess i am no longer friends with.  I some how ended up sitting across from this back stabbing liar and had the chance to tell her exactly how I felt.  I was able to do this without becoming too angry or emotional and I was so proud of myself.  I take a lot of things to heart and I take them personally even though I know the person is lying.  The issue I have is that no everyone knows they are lies and so there will still be some people out there who will believe the bad things that are said about me and that's the part that I can't live with,

This was my theme song the other day!

This was my theme song the other day!

Just changfe the wife part, because I am the wife.  It was almost time to slap a bitch! 

I know this is a delayed reaction but I forgot about this song until I heard it again and it made me laugh and rethink about the stupid shit that I have to deal with sometimes!

 

I got the Louisiana Stripes,
and their always chainin' me down
I'm in debt for 99 years for shootin' my wife to the ground

Well she had to love my friend,
and that's not right with me
So I grabbed my gun, shot both in the head and then I threw their ass in the creek

Now I'm doin' my time, in this Louisiana Pen
Thinkin' about maybe bein' free on the day that I'm a dead man

-Instrumental Break-

Well it took some time getting' used to,
being locked in this prison cell
But I always hum those tunes of George Jones to help me through my days of hell
I've done me 25 years,
and that's alright with me
'Cause I got me a lot of damn good friends in this Louisiana penitentiary

Now I'm doin' my time, in this Louisiana Pen
Thinkin' about maybe bein' free on the day I'll be walkin' to feel
that fire of the Loui-si-an-a Pen-i-ten-tia-ry

"At 2:59 AM"
"This is Houston calling, we just wanted to say Hello, Hello,
Hi *giggles* Alright goodnight bye"

Work is getting busy, busy to the point where I am turn away business form people who are wasting my time.  I love that feeling and I should have done that in my personal life with people that I had considered friends.

Work is just getting better and better by the day.  I love it!

I came into the office yesterday to find a box on my desk with the following label:

I have always referred to my self as a super star and so yes rock star just kind falls in line.  I pushed the box aside and booted my PC and all the while I was going crazy trying to figure out what was in side the box.  I have any blog followers, I might turn it into a guessing game, but since I don't I will just reveal what was inside the box.

A cup that will remind me EVERY DAY how awesome I am!  Could it get any better?

TIRED

I did not get up early today, as a matter of fact I slept in longer that I should have.  I reset my alarm and went right back to sleep.  The week must be catching up with me.  Work is super busy and always changing which keeps us on our toes and then the kids and football, I am pretty darn tired!

Only in California!

That was by far the MOST interested and frightening trip to an AM-PM I have ever had.  I did NOT put their gas in my car,  but I did stop for a junk food run.  I ate my lunch at the office a little early today and due to some semi disturbing news we received at the office, I knew I was going to need junk food and caffeine. 

I pull into the parking lot and I spot a space right in front, which is really good because normally I have to park on the corner and walk, which is a bit of a hike.  As I am making my way to the open spot, some gal jumps out in front of me to pick up a cigarette from the ground.  Weird.  I park and am getting our of my card and there are a handful of people standing out front of the building smoking.  This is a gas station/mini mart,  that might employ 2 people per shift.  Not like it is an office building that has a large number of employees that would account for the large number of smokers out front.  I notice Richard Ramirez sitting in his van next to my car watching my every move.  I figure there are plenty of lovely folk around that I should be safe.  I enter the mart grab my crap and head to the register.  There is a gal in front of my who is having a full on convo with herself…oh wait, no, she is talking to her Bluetooth.  As I am paying $4.08 for my bag o'junk food, there is a different gal that is walking out the door but stops and says "Hi Ms. Linda"  I look over and she is talking to the mini mart employee.  Cool, they are on a first name basis.  They go back and forth a little and come to find out, the visitor just came in for a cup of ice and to use their microwave!  Wait….what?????????  Stopping in to use the microwave at the AM-PM??  That is just weird.  Sure enough, as I walked by her she had her container of rice that she had heated up and was headed somewhere to eat her lunch.

Keep in mind this all happened in Temecula.  People make fun that I live in Elsinore, but you know what, NEVER have I seen anything like what I have seen today!

Up early again today, it is not so bad.  I was able to put away a mound of clean clothes that I had not had the time to get to.  Tomorrow I will tackle some more laundry because I see a pile in Bailey's room and I know they are dirty.


The main task of my morning was creating an easy to read and understand chore chart for the kids.  I think I might have successfully accomplished this task, but we will see once I put it into action.  If they actually do their chores on time and without me having to ask, they can make some decent money and I will have more free time!


They take money for granted and just ask, ask, ask and never give in return.  Sure they will do a chore here and there but only when asked and then they have to be asked several times.


New chore policy; Look on the fridge.

I was up early yesterday (4 am) and learned that it wasn't so bad, however I also went to bed at 7:30 on Sunday.  Anyhoo, I thought I would try getting up early(ish) with Danny and so today I was up a little after 4 am and am getting things done.  It is really only an hour or so before I normally get up so it is not too big of a deal and it gives me time to get caught up on some stuff.


I have done laundry, dishes, football paperwork, read and deleted emails, updated job search criteria, have 3 cups of coffee (and counting) and ma looking for more to accomplish before I have to wake the kids.


I am heading downstairs for another cup of coffee and to see what else I can get done.


I am so the opposite of those moms who never want to get our of bed for whatever reason.  Getting up early and getting stuff done just starts your day off on the RIGHT foot!


I need to note that the comment on the moms who don't want to get out of bed was NOT directed at anyone so whoever it is that is taking my blog words and spinning them into a little web of lies, not this time!


So on with my perfect little life!

So if I rename my blog "Diary of a bitchy lady" will that be ok since thats all I have to blog about?  


I do have better things to blog about but I would not want to make anyone jealous of my glamorous life.  My husband is a hottie, my kids are all around perfect and I am too awesome for words!


I know that is a lot to have to handle, but take me for the person that I am.  I am very down to Earth and easy to get along with as long as you don't talk shit behind my back.  I would prefer you talk it to my face, that is much more fun.


I almost forgot to mention my super rad, high paying job that I LOVE LOVE LOVE.


Enough bragging for one day.  Don't worry there will be more tomorrow!

I have learned that no matter what you say or no matter what you do, there will always be someone that will take what you have said or done and turn it into whatever they want; and usually negative.  I need to find a new focus for my blog and not give these people (who needs hobbies) a reason to talk.  

So I will start to think of new ideas and new beginnings for my blog.  

Yes I am better than you and yes you read my blog for a reason.  What you need is a hobby; or maybe a life.

Sometimes you are better off not knowing!!!!!!!!

It looks as if someone else might be having a horrible day just like me!  If only I could consume small bottles of liquor on days like these!

 

 

Just when I started to think more positively and live life more optimistically, more stupid shit.  How much stupid shit can one person take before they just lose their mind?!?!?!  Now I understand why people take pills.  Holy shit, sign me up.  Where do I get my pills so I can cope with this day to day bullshit that I have to deal with?  It all just makes me so sick to my stomach and I don't even know what to think or due.  I feel numb!

Cooking Lessons

The boys are always asking that I make breakfast on the weekends and well I am not a big breakfast eater and so I am just never in the mood.


This past weekend, McKenzy wanted pancakes.  That is the one thing that I hate making the most.  That ans sandwiches.  I thought this would be the prefect time to teach him how to make, it was also a lesson on how to improvise.  Half way through the process, I learned we were out of milk.  Water worked just fine!


He did a fantastic job!  Thumbs up.  Everyone loved their breakfast!










And this was Bailey sitting on the side lines, not wanting to help but waiting for the food!

Be an athletic supporter!

We are half way to the weekend!  We have our second game on Saturday and I am all ready for us to cream Norco!  Playing against Corona was a learning experience, we learned we need more practice.  Bottom line.  I learned that our team needs some lessons on team work and how to work as a team.  hey all look like they were playing as individuals on Saturday and that cannot happen.  They need to pull it together and play as a team.  We win as a team and we lose as a team.


More importantly, the parents need to grow up.  This is your kids sport, not yours!  Support them no matter what.  You cannot win them all, even though you would like for them to.  


I was shocked at how many parent hecklers we had from the stands.  I don't know if they know that we can hear them.  I was embarrassed for the parents that were talking shit, makes them look stupid.  It is also embarrassing their kid!


The parents need to pull it together so that the kids feel that they have a strong support system!


Look at those faces!  

Time to act your age!

It appears that a couple people have their panties crammed up their asses and need some serious help yanking them out!  I mean really?  If that is how you feel you need to be, then go ahead and do what you need to do but it would be nice if people would at least own up to their behaviors and speak what is on their minds.


Ignoring other people is very childish and immature, but maybe that is only how you know how to behave.  So-be-it.


I am fine either way and now I know who is two faced, back stabbing LIARS.


Hope you can sleep at night!

Dear Parents,

Just because you sign your kid up in football does not mean they are good at it. Coming from a mom that has been on both sides of the fence, I know not all kids were born to play football.

What I do know is bringing your holier than tho attitude to me is going to get you no where.  Yes I am a woman but that does not mean you can try and talk down to me. This is practice and all kids need it. Some more than others. If your kid is doing less in practice, that probably means he is doing well and Coach is making room for a kid that needs more of it..My pride and your attitude keep me from telling you that so I will just let you sit there and fester.

The age old debate

I found this as a draft, I never published it, probably thanks to work or something, I am sure there is someone I can blame.  At the time, this was what was on my mind.  Maybe because i am too fat to wear white, who knows!


Another labor Day has come and gone and we are now left with the age old question/debate; Is it time to hang up the white pants or is it acceptable to wear white pants after Labor Day? This will be a very short blog post because personally I am not a fan of white pants/shorts/capris and not sure that they should ever be worn!

You gotta do what you gotta do

It took me forever to break down and buy an iPod, but a few years ago I finally did.  I was so proud of myself.  A mere two weeks after buying, it went missing from my house.  I was bummed, see my car does not get any radio stations and my iPod was my means for music.  I finally decided I was going to buy myself not an iPod but I wanted a Zune.  I was over the whole iTunes thing and loved the idea of a Zune.  I bought used on eBay, found an 8 g that was pink and it was perfect.  I had that for a long while, until the little fuckers down the street broke into my car and stole that and all my CD's.  Ever since, I have been without a steady source of music. I use my phone sometimes, but it drains the battery too much.  I have pulled CD's from the house and then I listen for months at a time and that get boring.  I even go sometimes with out any music at all. But then I hear all the sounds my car makes and that is depressing.  SO this morning I pulled out one of the many mp3 players that we have purchased for McKenzy and quickly started to throw songs on there.  I am now rolling down the street with tunes!  I know, ghetto, but hey, it plays music.  Yahooooooooo.

Greivance Day to remember Javier!

Wondering if work will allow me a few greivance days to deal with and mourn for my fish?  It appears that a clean tank was not what he needed or wanted and it was his cause of death.  Today he is floater and NO he is not sleeping!  The worst part it, I get to flush him!  I am thinking not.  I will let Danny do the honors!



RIP Javier!

Wine Tasting with Friends

Sunday was out planned wine tasting trip and it was a blast.  We were there with friends, some old and some new. A few had not been before so that always makes it more fun.


We started the day off with a late start but considering, we were only 20 minutes late to the first winery.  We started at Keyways which is the one that we most recently belonged to, but have since cancelled our membership.  I will always love their wine and I love the decor of the winery.  It has such an awesome welcoming feeling.  It is especially nice during the winter, when they have the fireplace going.  We have never wine tasted on a Sunday so the servers were all folks we had not met before, but there was this one gal that we instantly made friends with and at one point had a conversation about big boobs and Asian nipples.  It was odd but hilarious!


From there we went to Robert Renzoni, which was amazingly cool on the inside and had the cleanest porta-potties I have ever used.  I actually did not mind using it and was even able to wash and dry my hands!  This winery seemed to be full of stuffy people and a chick that someone said had gotten a boob job, yet her boobs were so small; what's the point?


We next headed to Filsinger which is now remodeled and called Danza Del Sol.  We unpacked our lunches and ate at their tables before tasting, it is usually good to eat something after a couple wineries.  There are a few fancy places to eat at some of the wineries which we will eat at occasionally, but sometimes it is nice to pack a lunch.  We typically bring cheese, crackers, breads, olives, fruits and other yummy items.. It is the right amount of food and gets you ready to tackle the rest of the wineries you had planned for.  We tasted at Danza Del Sol and had one more on the list but it was already around 3 pm and usually we stop around 2:30 and a few of our friends had to take off.  We thought about hitting up Bella Vista on the way out, but we were all wine'd out and really looking forward to an ice cold beer.


We hit downtown Temecula on the way home.  We decided to park just anywhere and walk to look for a cold beer.  As we were looking for beer we came across an antique store that Danny wanted to go in.  Lame, but fine I agreed to go in.  What the girls did not know is that Danny can spend HOURS in antique stores.  They learned their lesson. We finally happened upon Temecula Beer & Wine Garden;sounded perfect.  Not sure how many people there drink wine because it was full of bikers, but the beer was cold, well I have had colder but it was hot outside so it tasted good.  WE started to walk back on the opposite side of the street and happened upon Texas Lil's and went in for another cold drink.  I decided that a margarita was in order and boy was I wrong.  The make the WORST Margarita ever!  I drank it and then switched over to a Vodka Monster which was much better but I hate drinking energy drinks.  Melissa ordered the sampler platter and well pretty much devoured that even though I was saying that I was not hungry.  I think it is an unwritten rule that if food is put in front of me, I must eat it!  We finished up outside with our drinks, a smoke and listened to the biker dude talk about buying a house and explain how he is not the condo type.


We made our way back to the car and that concluded our wine tasting trip.


I had every intention of taking photos along the way, but always forget.  I got a couple, but none too exciting.  Enjoy.


I took this picture more as inspiration for Coach Munoz lol



This was Danny being our gay chauffer.  It started as a joke, but I think he liked it entirely too much!



This is Melissa with our Indian (feather, not dot) friend.



And this is our souvenior from Keyways!

Road trip to Norco

Yesterday after work, I had to head to Norco to finish some paperwork for one last kid on the team.  On my way out there I was cruising because I knew I had plenty of time.  I was in the fast lane and was cruising behind the 15 passenger van that I nicknamed The Duggars (LOL).  The Duggars were doing well and then all of a sudden she started to slow down and then she would speed up and then she would slow down, so not sure if one of her 19 kids was driving her nuts but the people behind us were not at happy and at some point I was passed by a vibrator.  Yes I said a vibrator.  No joke this is what this car sounded like.  All I can say is, it was a Scion!

In the line of fire

I do not like sharing a cubicle wall with the gal that is just not getting it at work.  She is so soft spoken and sweet with people and now she us cursing and yelling at the computer.  I don't feel safe sitting here!  Not to mention the boss just had her in the office.....

Dear Boss Lady,

If you threaten to send me home because I am sick, PLEASE do it at 11 am when you first made the threat, not at 3:30 when you walk by and i am coughing up a lung.  Thanks but I will finish the day and we will try this again tomorrow.  Seeing that this is a long holiday weekend, I will need to be here tomorrow in order to get paid for Monday, so I will be expecting some sympathy and someone around me bitching that I am sick so that the boss will send me home!  Then i can get my weekend started.

I dont like personal space intruders

MY desk is my home away from home and it can just as messy as I want it to be.  If YOU come over to MY desk, please do not move stuff around as you see fit.  If there isnt any room for you to set your pirce of paper, then you can hold on to it.  It probably is a stupid question and a waste of my time.  Thank you for visiting, now goback where you came from!

Self Image

I just had a thought.....What if the fat person I see in the mirror, is really not a fat person afterall and I am anorexic and everyone else sees me as sickly skinny and only I see myself as the fat bitch who needs to put down the Ho-Ho's and Bon-Bon's!

Tuesday Commute

I am obviously a little oout of order with my blog posts but I take so many pictures through out the day that I want to share and then I just start doing whatever.  Tuesday was a weird day on the 15 and not sure if it was fire related or what.  There was traffic going to work and then traffic again going back to work after I went home for lunch.  It has never been like that.  I took a few photos.  Wanting to share with anyone who is not in California and thinsk they might have traffic, NOTHING can ever compare to the bullshit we have to deal with.  And this is nothing even close to what Danny has to deal with in his commute.

 

This picture below, I had to take because this woman was driving like her ass what was fire and her hair was catchin'  She was zigging in and out and being rude and stupid.  Then all of a sudden I saw her on the side of the road. 

 

 

 

 

 

Lunch is over!!!!

By the looks of one of my tires, I decided that I shoudl not go far for lunch even though I had dreams of spending millions of dollars on new clothes.  I went to the corner to Carls Jr, which I know is not the best but it was that or Taco Bell and even though I could stand to lose a few pounds, I am not in the mood to spend the rest of the afternoon on the toilet.  So Carls it was.  I was sitting the the place practically by myself and along comes Mr. Salesman of the year, equipped with bluetooth even.  He decided to sit one table over, which annoyed me.  He could have sat anywhere.  He handled some business which I get because my work cell phone never left my hand the entire time I left the office, just wish he would have sat somewhere else.  Then, in walks the in-bred redneck family of Temecula.  I was not at all sure what to make of them.  There were three, and they were all large.  Not sure if it was mom and her two sons-brothers or brothers-husbands.  It didn't matter.  They had all (my eyes) on them the minute they walked in the door.  They were loud and obnoxious and if that was the mom, she no control over her sons-brothers.  I felt that it was in my own interest to leave.  I did not do my hair today and so I was not prepared to be on an episode of Cops.

 

Speaking of cops; i am not sure what is going on Temecula but people are getting pulled over left and right.  There are cop cars and motorcycles all over the place.  It actually stopped me from making an illegal U-turn so that I could get back to the office faster.  Instead, I made the left aqnd went down to the next light where U-turns are permissable.

 

Interesting lunch hour.  Now back to work and then home to rest befor ethis cold compeletly takes over.

A gift straight from the heart

Something I have cherished from being a parent, is all the fun stuff my kids have made for me over the years.  From Kindergarten and on, I was always getting something from them and it they were always so special and meant so much to me.  I love the cards and letter they would write for birthday and Mother's Day.  While yes from Dad, I wasn diamonds and all things sparkly, home made gifts from the boys are the best.  Even still to this day, it would brighten my day if they woudl write notes and leave them on the frisdge for me to see.  We have a small white board on the fridge, which has been used once or twice to thanks me for buying them Taco Bell and since it is being used as a PSA not to eat my poop!  That's what happens in hosueholds full of men!

 

Anyway, Dakota has moved home, even though part time right now, and it has been a blessing having him home.  He is always so full of sarcasim and always pulling a prank of some kind. A couple weeks ago, Danny and I went out front and I noticed that Dakota had left me a gift on my car.  I of course had to take a photo so I cuold share with everyone how much he loves me!

 

A new sales tactic

Not sure how standing all day will increase your productivity but if it you feel that it is working then YOU GO GIRL!  At some point, I will request that you take a seat because you are making me nervous!

 

 

 

Football Fever?

As I was back and forth with getting the boys up for school, I cam back into my room and I saw a piece of paper slightly tucked under the corner of Danny's pillow.  I thought "great, he just wrote me a Dr, John Letter"  It was going to be a long week.  I walked over, opened it up and to my surprise it was football related.  I realize the importance of making these kids the best that they can be, but taking it to bed with you?  It is going to be a long and arduous season!
