Boring day at work today. Luckily I left early because I had carpet cleaners scheduled to come to the house. I know it's expensive to pay someone to clean our carpets but our cats are sometimes still using the diningroom, first floor hallway and office as their litter box. Ever since Midnight had his bladder issues I haven't been able to get them ( Read more... )

Why is it that crazy customers like me?

Today at work I had a woman talk to me for at least 15 minutes (it felt like an hour at the time) about how much bad luck she has. All because I asked her how she was doing today?!?!?

She regaled me with tales of her house being broken into robbed at least once a week and no one believes her (including her ( Read more... )

Everyoone, I'm sorry I've been such a bad LJ friend.  My life has been chaotic and I never seem to have the time to get on my computer to do anything except balance the checkbook and pay bills ( Read more... )

Even long weekends fly by too quickly.
My party Saturday went nicely. Of course there were a few no shows. Only one person called to let me know they weren't able to make it. Annoying lady ended up not being too bad! She brought her mother along so she was more subdued than usual. If only mom could come to everything so she wouldn't get crazy / ( Read more... )

Last night was a doozy.
Ed and I watched Transformers, which was a fairly long movie, so we ended up going to bed 30 minutes later than usual. Little did we know that we could have used those extra 30 minutes of sleep!

At 12:30, Thomas came into our room complaining that his belly hurt. He didn't feel nauseous, just a pain in his stomach. I felt bad ( Read more... )

Haven't been on LJ for two days. Major withdrawal.

I'm at work now and we are dead!

There are four tellers, and NO CUSTOMERS!

this will be a very long day

It's rainy and warm today but Thomas went to school wearing his winter coat from last year. He broke his umbrella, lost MY umbrella and so he had nothing else to protect him. I don't have an ( Read more... )

The location I was scheduled to work today doesn't need me so I have the day off!  I will have to work Wednesday instead, but que sera, sera.

I didn't end up playing football yesterday.  I slept in and Ed let me : )  He even woke up with the baby Saturday and Sunday mornings.  (I should really say he got her out of her crib when she started ( Read more... )

I have 5 minutes before I have to get int he shower so here's a snapshot of what's been happening here:

*  I didn't realize how much Boston still felt like home. I was driving around the area I grew up in (and explored on my bike as a kid) and a deluge of memories came rushing back.  Now Ed is inclined to look for positions up there.  Who knows.  ( Read more... )

Since it worked so well last time, I figured I'd update via email from work again. The bad / good thing is I can't check my LJ from a work computer.  They block all sites that require a log in. I can't even check my personal email from work! I make do though.
This weekend (like most weekends) flew by. I had to work Saturday. At least it was only ( Read more... )

I typed an entry yesterday during work.  I ended up not having time to post it last night so here it is now.

I've been really busy this week. Here's what we did:

Saturday we did the Storywalk.  The kids had fun walking around and doing the crafts (and getting lots of free stuff).  They weren't too interested in the storytellers.  The storytellers ( Read more... )
