Things are good today.
DH is working late again....(bad guys keep the overtime comin~) Kids are done w/ homework and dinner and watching a movie.

I don't have time to put the tree up tonight, but I might get started on my village....it's about 30 pieces.....

Hi Marie,

It sounds like you got a lot done yesterday... Way to go! I'm sorry to hear about work.... I hope it gets better soon!

Have a great weekend!

 

[CACruisin']

Glad you recovered well . Also glad that it seems to have improved things - noticed you have downgraded from murder to manslaughter . Seriously, you have had so much going on and still maintained a sense of humor. Great job! Hang in there. Things will get better....

Have you ever felt like your job was sucking all your energy out of every pore of your body?? I hate to keep dwelling on it, but my gosh...the drama level every day is just exhausting....and stupid!! We are grown ups people...act like it!! We have one woman...."N" actually stuck her tounge out today when someone asked where she was going!! WTH~~ my 7 yr old does that crap!

ok...food today
B-hot chocolate & a mini blueberry muffin
s-hot chocolate (sore throat....made it feel better)
L-DH picked me up and we went and took more pics of the van, then we went for Mexican - chicken fajita's, rice & beans...yes, I overdid it!
D-Kaluha & Cream

Gonna put up the tree tonight and try to get the house decorated by tomorrow afternoon. I have a Christmas part to shoot tomorrow night, then 2 familes want pics for christmas cards on Sunday. Yeah...another fun filled weekend!

DH and I have been thinking about a job in Hoover Alabama....we went and checked it out back in August, and probably won't know anything until March or April....right now guys....I have never wanted anything more! I don't know how much more crap I can take from this damn town/job/area. I hate going to the mall here because the people are so damn rude. I don't go anywhere at night by myself because the crime is so high.
Right now, if someone said....ALL EXPENSES PAID TO WDW, BUT YOU HAVE TO LEAVE NOW.... see ya!!!

ok....done stressing for the night...not worth it. It's the weekend....it's my time for me and my kids....ya'll have a nice evening, cause I'm gonna!!!

love ya~

Marie,

I'm sorry to hear about the situation at work.... I recently returned to the work force after a 6 year absence, and I was immediately reminded of how childish adults can be at times. I hope that things improve for you at work soon. My DH was having some really bad work issues a few months ago and he was ready to leave all the stress of work behind and move us to Florida... I understand exactly where you are coming from.

I hope you have a great weekend!

 

[lovinaz]

THat really does stink that you are so fed up with the people at your work. It really carries over into your home life since you are at work for the majority of your day. I'm sure you can infuse some humor into the situation. It could lighten the atmosphere, or at least make you feel better! Do whatever it takes to not let it bother you, that amount of stress is no good for anyone!

I hope you have a relaxing time shooting pictures this weekend. And I'm sending some your way to make the move happen!

 

[kmp1191]

The shoot last night was fun! I did their christmas party last year, and they recommended me by name this year....made me feel pretty good!! Got home about 11:30 Super tired!!

Food yesterday:
B-none-got busy decorating
L-Turkey sandwich and 1 chip (still decorating)coke
D-2 bite sized tomatoes & 1 cauliflower w/ ranch, 2 strawberries, 3 cheese cubes (appetizers at the party..too busy to actually stop and eat)
Water-20 oz i think (no wonder I'm not losing any weight!)
Exercise-6 hours of knee bends and squats along with bicep/tricep curls (up and down w/ the camera!!)

Today I'm going to finish up decorating, then I'm going shopping. The families never called to schedule a time, so I guess I'm off the hook!!
Have a great day ya'll!!

Hi Marie
hope you are actually relaxing this weekend!

 

[lovinaz]

I'm glad you had a fun time! Yes, you definitely need to get that water intake increased!

Have fun shopping! I am actually looking forward to getting some unique Christmas gifts from Germany this year. I guess that is one positive aspect of traveling during the holiday season!

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Have you ever felt like your job was sucking all your energy out of every pore of your body??

YES, YES, Double YES! But I am sorry to hear that you have to feel that way at work too. I hope it gets better soon. I'll send some your way about that move to Alabama!

You know I've been busy lately and have gotten behind on journals... Reading your journal today though I just have to ask... Where do you come up with all your Energy!!! You do SO much and then you have so much extra going on right now. You go Girl!! You just keep on powering through it all! Some days it is all I can do to get through the work day and I don't have kids to come home to. Jeez Makes me tired thinking about it.

Hope your ear is doing better these days!

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday!! Relax and take care of yourself! Have a great week!

I cry....and drink.....ALOT!!!! (just kidding!)
I don't think I do any more than anyone else...I guess with the kids and 2nd job it seems like alot....hell, I guess I never thought about it before. I'm not going to think about it now either...I'm out of kaluah!!!
I had a good day today....got the decorations up...finally. Actually sat and read the paper....most of it anyway...then got showered and went shopping! Wow...I really hate shopping!!! I went to the Hallmark store and got a Willow Tree Angel for my niece...found one for mom....and another one for a house warming gift for a girlfriend...and I picked out 3 that I want....(I collect them, so I think EVERYONE should have one!!) Then I went to the mall....WHAT WAS I THINKING??!!! I did buy DS a shirt, and that was it!! I walked around for a few hours, but I don't think well in crowds like that! Drives me nuts! Anyway, hit walgreens, then came home! Felt good getting out of the house today....I was in a pretty bad mood this morning. The ear was throbbing bad this morning...music was REALLY loud last night...I was standing right in front of the GIANT speaker when the band started up...(where is the ******* smilie?? ) Anyway, it was so loud it hurt...I actually thought I was going to pass out...(started sweating and everything) Now this morning.....the ear is deaf again....nothing...not even a mumble getting in... we'll see what's going on tomorrow....

ok...so here's a question for everyone....what do you get your neighbors? I have a set of neighbors who have helped us out...and vice-versa...last year I got them Blockbuster gift cards w/ popcorn and stuff....year before I got them some Christmas candles/votives thingys. (they got us a Christmas/Santa family decoration thingy, and a chenelle throw)...I would get them a gift card for dinner out, but I don't think they like each other too much anymore....Is a cheese & meat pack too...cheesey? Or should I do a bottle of wine and a case of beer? Or something Christmassy?
HELP!!!

ok....dinner is ready!
later tots

Hey lady! Sorry I've been M.I.A. this weekend. Crazy as always .

You've been in my thoughts with this Alabama thing. I hope so much that it works out for you guys!! (and if not, there's always Jersey! )

You DO have some super energy! Just keep on keepin on! It's all we can do, right?

Oh, and for the neighbors...I'd go for the wine basket. That's what I'd want!

 

[kmp1191]

Damn what a day!! I actually got up in a good mood...went to work...tried to stay in a good mood, then got my butt chewed by my boss! She totally went off on me. She was red faced and talking quite loud. I stood there and let her work herself into a tizzy, she asked a few questions....I answered..(she told me to do what a manager tells me to do...REGARDLESS....I responded with "Even if it's incorrect?" and she said "Yes". I told her she needed to find someone else to do the job then, because I wasn't purposely going to do my job wrong, just because a manager told me to do it that way. She told me to go sit down....I said "do you want me to go home....I have no problem w/ that....I'll even clean out my desk. She told me not to be a smartass. I told her I wasn't being a smartass, but that I refused to do something incorrect just because someone that gets paid more than I do told me to. Then I turned around and walked out of her office and went back to work. Man, you want to talk about a quiet office!!! Ya know what the best part was....I never raised my voice. She was totally flipping out, and I didn't lose my temper at all....now that's a first!! I'm sure I'll get my butt chewed again, but I really don't care. I told DH about it when I got home and he said I should have left. I told him no way....christmas bonus is on the 9th, and my anniversary date is January 9....2 more weeks vacation. I'm not gonna shoot myself in the foot! If they fire me...that's fine. I'll collect unemployment until we hear from Alabama.
So, did you all have a good day?

Oh, and I weighed....165....go figure. Must have been retaining REALLY bad last week!

marie

 

[CACruisin']

Wow! Very impressive standing up for yourself without losing your cool. I'm sure your boss feels like an a$$ now too. Hang in there until January 9th and here's loads and loads of that the Alabama thing comes through. Congrats on the loss too. Take it and enjoy it, wherever it came from!

 

[CJK]

WOW! You handled yourself absolutely perfectly! I would have lost it, or worse......cried! You managed to get your point across while looking great while doing it! Hopefully things calm down a bit and you can enjoy your bonus and anniversary. In the meantime, we're sending you positive thoughts. Have some fun now will ya?

 

[kmp1191]

[kmp1191]

PARTY PARTY PARTY!!!!
GM GOT FIRED TODAY!!!
Man, you could feel the calm in the air! It was kinda funny...(not for him of course)...but the owner came into our office and asked if we had any storage boxes...I said, yes sir...plenty. He said, would you get *B* 3 please. I said, sure~ no problem. Then I realized what they were for! (i'm kinda slow sometimes!) Anyway, today wasn't bad - work-wise.
Got the news from the Insurance company - Van is totalled. I'm glad in a sense...I knew it wouldn't be the same after they fixed it, but I'm sad too because that was the first vehicle that I really...REALLY liked. oh well....now we have to start the process of finding a new one - substitution of collateral - paying off the other one - discussing a settlement....

Ok...I said on KimWim8's journal last night that I got water in my ear. I called the dr. this morning....and again this afternoon....finally talked to the nurse....she said the packing in the inner ear should have blocked the water and I should be fine. I asked her about all the dizzies, and vertigo issues...(I blink and hold on because it's like the world shifts...weird ) She said the nerves in the ear are still irritated and is prescribing me a low doseage of valium to take for a couple of weeks.....don't really understand how valium is gonna help my ear and the dizzies, but hell, i'm game!!

Didn't sleep well last night...was in a tizzy about getting the water in my ear. DH is out of town tonight...so I'm single parenting. I'm not good at that. DD is grounded because she "forgot" to write down her homework...and DS has 4200 things to do. I'd like to wrap some presents, but I know that's not gonna happen. oh well....i'm rambling now....overtired i guess.

Anyway, food wasn't good.
B-tea biscut w/ pear preserves (made by my mama!!)
L-Chinese food - DH came and got me for lunch...it's his fault!
D-gonna be soup and sandwiches....kids want pizza....they lose!!
water - 60 oz.....doing better about that!!
I also started taking the AdvoCare products again....we'll see if they work.

ok....gonna go change and get some homework going!

love ya's!!

[lindalinda]

Wow Thats Fantastic! about your GM I mean!

and btw, the valium is to keep you from COMPLAINING about your ear!

 

[kmp1191]

Wow Thats Fantastic! about your GM I mean!

Yes, it was a good day!

and btw, the valium is to keep you from COMPLAINING about your ear!

I actually called the nurse back and said, "I'm sorry for being a pain in the @$$, but why are you giving me valium for being dizzy? I don't get it. I then laughed and told her....I'll take it, but I still don't get it!
