Marie's New Years Resolution~in July

[kmp1191]

Let's see...today was....how can I put this without getting kicked off the DIS???
Today was pure crap!!

The woman I'm training has not learned a darn thing. I have to go over each and every step with her each and every time, and she still doesn't get it. I made her take DETAILED notes and she still doesn't get it. I told my boss today that it's not working out. I told her that if she wanted to sit with her for a few days, then maybe she (boss) could make it click for her (new girl), but in my opinion, she couldn't do the job. PLUS everything she's done up to this point I've had to redo...and I spent all day fixing the stuff she did on Friday after I left.

THEN I get home and my DS (not using darling here guys!!) brings home his progress report from school....NOT GOOD....NOT GOOD AT ALL!!! Not turning in homework, a few missing tests, no doing reading questions AT ALL!!! The darn kid reads at a 10th grade level in the 6th grade and he's getting a fricking 22 in reading!!! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??? In the midst of yelling at him I threw my shoe across the room.. (not at him....into the other room...broke the damn heel!
He is grounded until.....oh...basically hell freezes over!!
I told him that I'm not raising him to be stupid and he better get his stuff together now...because it's gonna be just that much harder back in Memphis....especially next year in 7th grade!!

I'm so sick of this! I do everything I'm supposed to do...I work 40+, I cook...not well, but I do cook, I keep the place picked up, I walk the frickin' dog at 5 am every morning and what do I get in return....NOT A DAMN THING!!

Sorry for the rant. I'm just a little fed up tonight. TOM attacked 7 days early, and I'm up to my ears in packing...maybe I'll just crawl into one of the boxes...hell, no one would miss me....they'd just miss my nagging and *****ing all the time.

I'm done....i'll see ya'll soon...

wow. thats a rant. I give it at least a 9, maybe 10.

Did you quit your job today? I mean, its not like youre staying there, so quitting seems ok. And I wouldnt care whether my replacement was a total waste or not (thats probably not a good quality in me is it?)

I have a 15 year old (16 tomorrow) so i have some knowledge of the boy child thing. The kids have been thru some turmoil too, moving and moving again. I'm guessing he figured he was leaving anyway and could get away with it. Heck I would be tempted myself. He will be ok when you get back to memphis.

When you leavin anyway, is it this week? End of chaos in sight.





omg when I was writing this a commercial for a movie came on...dewey something...anyway theyre singing and the lyrics were ..."in my dreams, youre blowing me...(pause)....some kisses." I had to stop and look up!


feel better

Marie,

You are going through a lot right now. Just think....In a few days, the move will be over.

Take good care of you, girl.

 

[kimwim8]

wow. Some friend I am, huh? Sorry I haven't stopped by, girl. I feel like I just blinked and weeks have gone by. Guess you need to come here and put me in my place.

Take a deep breath. Maybe a shot or two. You'll get through this, girl. One day at a time.

 

[kmp1191]

thanks guys, sorry about the rant the other night...lack of sleep and some very long days. After e-mailing with the teacher, she is letting him make up the work. I made him sit at the kitchen table last night until it was all finished, and finished to my specifications. 5 assignments! Anyway, he finished them and will turn them in today.
I know the kids have been through alot this year, and it sucks. I hate it for them. I hate it for me.

Tonight the girls at work are taking me out for dinner and drinks....should be fun. Then tomorrow my DD class is having a party for her...she's excited. Then Friday night we'll take the kids to our all time favorite place...DQ!!
Hopefully I'll be able to get finished on the packing...not too much more....master bath and the food stuff....and a butt-load of frickin' laundry!! ( I asked DH if he could get it all folded today and he said he would...that would be a great help...on less thing to deal with!)

So....I'll be off here for a little bit again as we treck back to the homefront...Sweet Home Tennessee(?)
Thanks guys for listening....you are all GREAT FRIENDS!!! (yes Kim....even you!)

Love ya'll!
Marie

Linda - Happy late Birthday to Kev - hope he had a good day!! 16 huh? Did ya get him the new corvette or mustang?

 

[toystoryduo]

Have a great time out with the ladies tonight!

Have a safe trip back to Memphis. We'll be praying for you!

 

[kimwim8]

Have a great night out, lady. You deserve it!

[MIdanceMom]

Wow Marie,

You have been through the wringer lately, and you have at least 4 more rants stored up. use them anytime.

I hope the move went smoothly. Things will be settling down in the next few weeks.

Take care,
Beth

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Hey, Marie! Hope the move is going well. Sorry that things were so stressful this past week Hope this week is going better for you! Just remember it will be over soon and you'll be settling in. At least you are going back to a place that is familiar and where you have friends. Plus the house is Beautiful and was all fixed up nice before you left, so therefore all nice to come back to. I bet there will be a lot of things that you are able to appreciate a lot more since you will have been away from them for awhile. One big thing will be SPACE!!!

Take care of yourself!!

Oh, yeah, I just have to say that Linda you are the YouTube Queen!! That was a cool video and I agree it makes me want to come to Memphis!

 

[kimwim8]

Wow, Linda. That makes this northerner want to go to Memphis!! Thanks for sharing that link!

Marie - I hope things are moving smoothly for you. I can't wait for you to go "home" again, and enjoy it!

 

[kmp1191]

I'M HOME!!!

Yep...home sweet home - MEMPHIS!!!
Never thought I'd say it, but it's good to be here! I still have issues with some things, but all in all....it's all good!

Linda-thanks for the clip....great song...great clips!!
Did ya'll get a load of the jungle room??!! That place still creeps me out....BAD!!!

Ok...so this past week has been pretty hectic!! (major understatement there!!) I'm still unpacking boxes! I hate this part of it!! Comcast came out today and hooked up the internet and the phone....they screwed that up royally!!! The phone number they gave me last week is not the same one they gave me this morning...and neither is the e-mail address!! Needless to say...i was highly ticked off....and I pretty much let them know it!! Then the post office wasn't sure which address stuff was supposed to be sent to...even though I put in the change of address last week, so they sent some of my x-mas stuff back to the sender!!! Yeah....not having a good day...but that's ok....it's all fixable!!

Ok...so not sure when I'm starting back to work....probably Monday...although a paycheck this week would be nice...

Anyway...thanks guys for hangin' in there with me...I love all of ya, and appreciate all the encouragement, thoughts, prayers, laughs, and shoulders to lean on....you guys are the best and I truly appreciate you all!!!

love ya's!

[kimwim8]

WELCOME HOME!!!




I'm so happy for you, lady!! Take deep breaths. It's all good now.

 

[larry's girl]

Hi, Marie! So glad your move is completed and you are settled at last. I know it has been INCREDIBLY stressful for you and your family, but it sounds as if you have all made it through together and that is the main thing. Hope things settle down for you and you are all able to pick up life in Memphis seamlessly. Have a good one!

Susan

 

[kmp1191]

Thank Kim & Susan....and everyone!
It's good to be back in the house!!! I LOVE MY HOUSE!!!
Got both of the kids's rooms in order yesterday, along with getting my TN drivers license....then I started hanging the curtains & pictures...worked on that until about 8....then did laundry til 10:30!! Today I'm putting up the Christmas tree....and some decorations....I'm going to let the kids decorate it tonight, but I have to do the "fluffing" of the branches (it's fake), and I have to do the lights....(mom job!)
My DS has decided he want's to play the trumpet. I'm all for it, but he's going to have a lot of catching up to do. I talked to the band director yesterday, and we are going to talk again today. He (band director) suggested the clarinet or bassoon....um....no thanks! We'll see what happens. DD is picking up right where she left off....sleep overs and new best friends...although every night she calls her friend in Alabama to tell her about her day!! Thank goodness for digital free long distance!!!
I'll start back to work on Monday....same place, different job....I'm nervous about it, but it's a good step for me. Working my way up the ladder! My boss is excited to have me back....and I'm excited to be going back!
Oh, and my photo boss is trying to overload me....we're gonna have to have a talk....not gonna happen this time...things are different.

Ok guys....gotta get back to the tree!! (oh, and I love being able to crank the stereo!!! No one below me..... )

Have a great day, and weekend!!!
Marie-rie

Oh....kim....I think I made a boo-boo on the dates....I wasn't sure if you're b-day was the 6th, or the 8th. I'm thinking it's the 8th.....anyway....


HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIMMY!!!

 

[lindalinda]

Yea Marie, welcome back! You are way ahead of me and I didnt even move! I dont know if I will ever get the decorating done. I only have 3 days off until christmas. I did buy some gifts today tho!


Band directors always try to get people to play the instruments they need in the band. Dont fall for it! Let him figure out what he likes, it may take a few tries. Rent dont buy til hes sure.


New job sounds great too!


have fun decorating!

 

[kimwim8]

Oh....kim....I think I made a boo-boo on the dates....I wasn't sure if you're b-day was the 6th, or the 8th. I'm thinking it's the 8th.....anyway....


HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIMMY!!!

The 8th. The Immaculate Conception (for those of you that are Catholic out there. I'm not, just went to Catholic school and got my birthday OFF every year!! )

Thank you, my friend. I'm SO glad you're home. enjoy.

[kmp1191]

Quickie hi guys!!
Went back to work today...
Things went good....doing some busy work for a day or two...then I'll start working with the girl that's leaving....(long story)...gonna be a long month ahead, but that's ok...I'm up for it!
Also finished up my Christmas decorations tonight...2 separate villages, (30+ pieces total), and I got the lighted greenery done on the stairs.... That's a pain in the butt!! THEN DH says, that stuff would look good on the entertainment center!!! I tossed him the package and said "Knock yourself out hon!!"

Ok...gotta balance to checking accounts, and write some notes for school....I'll see ya'll soon!!!
