I am FREEZING- and it has nothing to do with outdoors
You know since I started my new job- my office was always a bit chilly- but today I am so cold that my hands and feet hurt- well- we have a thermometer for another room here at work (one with a special machine that must remain at specific temps to work) and I stole that thermometer to see what my office temp was- and I'm sitting in a little corner office- with the temperature hitting 62 degrees- and looking out my window it is all rainy and gloomy and makes it seem even colder in here... sigh- two days ago I was in shorts at home and although it is only in the 50's outside I'm currently wearing a big sweater and a jacket right now and fussing at myself for leaving behind my gloves and counting the time til 3pm when I can leave and get the kids (never thought I'd do that lol- well leaving yes but...)
Updates- not much
-went to San Antonio earlier in the month,
hosted a major GS function attended by over 100 girls locally,
know 4 couples currently in divorce procedures and it is getting to be difficult to deal with-
my best friend's husband came home from a business trip in which he spent time with an old girl friend that he was secretly in contact with for the past 4 years and announced he was leaving and moving to her place- which is on the other side of USA- wouldn't be that bad except in the same conversation he tells his kids (6 and 8) he's leaving their mom and possibly marrying this other woman who btw has two kids about their ages and aren't you excited to get a brother and sister?- The JERK- He spent Christmas with her and her kids and didn't even call his- broke into the house after she had locks changed and took tv and computer and other things, had the girl here a few weeks ago and during that time my friends car mysteriously got smashed in from the roof of the car down- with feet print and everything... and her husband thought it was funny and offered her his old truck after he bought a new $20,000 truck
another couple is my brother-in-law he too went away on trip and came back to tell his wife of 7 years (but dated/lived with/married for 14years) that he wanted a divorce- she had been depressed because she couldn't carry a child (last miscarriage was during my pregnancy) there are no kids involved but she is definitely a part of our family- she was completely blindsided by that one- he first said he'd do counseling but decided against it- lately has had all sorts of lovely things go his way- like meeting all these multi-millionaire people who want him to work with them- inviting him to their family outings etc- My mother-in-law is caught in the middle (at least she feels that way) she really misses the girl (the only one of her daughter-in-laws she really thinks of as a daughter- she would get rid of me in a heart beat) but she is also thrilled for all the things my BIL is doing and feels that if he was still with her none of this would have happened... with my other friend experiencing the same thing and me hearing herside- I tend to side for the wife more in this case...
another couple are neighbors- who the wife started attending a different church and came home one weekend to announce to her husband that she was leaving him- and at first wasn't sure about the kids- decided later to keep kids with her (apparently someone told her it would be bad for her not to do that) and so the husband moved out and got an apartment because he said his kids were going to have as little disruption as he could make possible- he's floored and has no idea why she's leaving- personally I think she has a boyfriend somewhere.
Other couple are the parents of two of my Girl Scouts- she has 6 kids from previous men (I think 6 different ones) he has two from previous marriage- he is leaving her because she "attacked" (I beleive just verbally) his daughter for writing "bad" things in her diary about her daughter- I say for him to get his kids and get out while he can and before she gets pregnant- lol- the dad- is great- helps with our troop and everything- the stuff his daughter wrote about her daughter was in a private journal which shouldn't have been read- and just so happens to be true but even if it wasn't she shouldn't be attacked for venting her feelings and thoughts- in a private journal.../rant for now
My oldest daughter got 4th place overall at the council level cookie bake-off making her pecan cranberry oatmeal cookies... and recently came home to announce that she now has a boyfriend and 8th grader (she's in 7th) who is the son of a local judge- well I would cringe but it is good to have connections- lol and chances are in less than a month he will be history
Son got his permit to drive- through some twisted circumstance they changed the law this past summer and he now has to have his permit for 6 months or until he turns 17 whichever comes first- so until May 10th he requires a licensed driver to travel with him- not happy I really needed a taxi service to help out- sigh
Youngest daughter is at a field trip to see Slim Goodbody- anyone remember him? I believe he used to be on Captain Kangeroo but it could have been on another kiddie show from my youth- I do hope they have a new guy playing him because the old one was probably about 30 when I was 7 and gee he'd be in his 60's now- ewww
Youngest son- is getting bigger and now is mobile when placed in his walker- yes I use one- I like them and he loves being able to travel around the living room- he'll be 6 months old this weekend!
Mom just had a bought of time in the hospital for pneumonia- still recovering and doctors say it will take her a bit of time to recooperate and get back to her usual active self...
Going to Los Angelos next week (yes I'm missing Mardi Gras for work) but I get to stay in the Ritz Carlton-lol, have another trip- but just to Baton Rouge two days after I get back from that one and the first week of March I'm supposed to be in Atlanta...
Got a neat review from a new reader of my fan fic- asking if I was continueing it or not- sure wish I could- I don't like leaving things unfinished- but OotP sort of killed my story and I considered updating it to make it a book 6 story and don't want to try to do that by this summer- so I guess I will abandon it- poor thing- sniff! I do miss writing though- I enjoyed the creative release and I really think it helped me get things done- even though it took so much of my time...
Enjoyed reading my friends rants- those were fun- one of the best MEME's I've seen- cudo's to whoever started that one
Well I need to stop typing and get out of my office for a bit- because I can't feel my finger tips...
