It's a new day in California.. has the weather changed? Nope, still SUNNY and warm!!

Spent the evening being hubby's TA (he of course made a lewd comment not associated with teaching or being an assistant

Have some typing to do for him today, dishes to toss in the dishwasher, and finish up signing up his benefits.
I'm clueless when it comes to deciding how much life insurance we should buy. I know it has to be under a certain amount or we will need to answer the health questions (resulting in NOT getting the life insurance).
Sadly I need to really consider what I will need after he is gone the truth is I will outlive him. Not might.. WILL.

I try not to dwell on his condition.. but this whole seizure thing really freaked me out. Bringing all the fears to the surface.

BTW he's doing just fine again. He kinda crashed as soon as he got home last night, fell asleep on the couch while watching the news.

Later he told me, he is amazed that he needs to work each day Even during student teaching he didn't have it every day, or only a part day.
It's been a very LONG time since he worked a full work week.

I remember the first days working at Head Start and being totally exhuasted by the end of the day. That first year I caught every cold and cough that the little germ factories could toss my way.

Weekends are our de-stressing time. Plan on hitting the beach again on Saturday!

Hey, on the life insurance; we're in the same boat with DH's heart issues. Our financial planner said to sign up for as much as we can without triggering the health questions. We also have life insurance on me (though I have no income, he would need to pay for childcare and other expenses if I were gone.)

 

[funnygarcia]

heh, me too... would love to get drunk now...

i got yelled at by my lead yesterday for not clocking out for lunch... EVEN though i was on time back... he was making the excuse that i took a 50 min lunch... i told him "Screw you... i started at 2:00PM, and you give me a freakin break at 6:00PM and my lunch in 7:00PM. WHAT THE POINT OF THE BREAK THEN... i rather just combine it..."

THere next excuse is well, you should have called back... so i reply 1) no one ever picks up at the office... 2) you always said "ohh, your breaks sheet is not done yet, just wait"

:\ Well, management really needs to rethink their strategies on us... or else the retention rate of us leaving will be even higher...

*sigh* just my rant. :\

I read on another site how screwy Disney management has been lately, sadly it's starting to effect the guests.
The person had a whoel long comment on how FOODS has majorly changed and screwed cast members out of hours (or gave them too many hours/ not thinking of school scheudles). All the chages have made for cast mebers leaving in droves! meanign less people to work in foods... meaning crappier service for guests.

I have to agree, I was super disappointed in what food I bought in the parks. Cold, overly spiced, too slow of lines. Had my best meals the whole trip OUTSIDE the park. Heck McDonold's tasted better

Alright - I am so done with the world. I went back to reclaim my laundry from the dryer. I left my basket down there because it is three flights of stairs to carry, as well as crossing a street - so I would rather not carry it and focus my time on making sure Alec does not get run over. My basket had been moved, so I get it, and put my first handful of clothes in. Psycho old Grandma lady says - oh that is my basket. I laugh, say of course it is, put it back and am seriously bawling hysterically (I know, it is no big deal - but I am JUST DONE!!!) She finally says never mind, it must be mine - I say I don't really care - I will just carry my clothes back in my arms. She insists I take it so I do - then she mumbles, it is just my housekeepers anyways so no big deal. Seriously - I can't deal anymore!!! Then I wonder where we will be living in a month - where DH will be working - and how the heck I am supposed to pay a bill.

Then I hear last night that no one expected me to move with DH - they just thought I would stay - so I am the idiot for moving and assuming things were changing. I guess I was supposed to keep the kids away from daddy from two months and start them in school in Gilbert....

 

[funnygarcia]

And this is why you are called by your name sake!!!

THANKS!!

But I think Alison is wayyyyyyyyyyyy funnier.

 

[dizzyami]

Hey guys!! Cheer up!!! There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. I know it's going to take awhile to adjust. And once you do, get yourself involved in something, or get a job.
Steph, I hope you do sell your house soooooooooooooooonn!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you ever decide on what to do about painting the house???

We actually dropped the price - our house is seriously such a steal right now - guaranteed to make the buyer money instantly - I just don't get it. I know the market sucks - but still.

Problem is DH is afraid his work will only pay through Sept 23rd - so I don't know what we do then - we cannot afford to pay to live in two places - especially since he just took a massive cut in benefits

That sucks Albort!!! Management is one of the reasons DH switched jobs. He was a supervisor over managers, and got tired of dealing with them. So now he is a manager over just his crew - so a bunch of high school and college kids - he loves dealing with them so much better then a bunch of overpaid lazy stupid old people!!!

Maybe Psycho Grandma is a laundry basket thief?! Where's Shawna with the bok choy?

And who is "they" who are saying you were supposed to stay in Gilbert while your DH moved 2 hours away??? My folks did live apart for 3 or 4 months, but that was because they wanted us to finish the school year before we moved. Your situation is that you wanted them settled in the new school, knowing how your DS handles change; it made perfect sense! Another round of boy choy to "they"!

 

[tinkermell]

THANKS!!

But I think Alison is wayyyyyyyyyyyy funnier.

Ya...she's pretty funny too. And so is Shawna, who by the way is not showing her face! I actually think I'm only one who is not funny. But that is OK, cuz it's just not me. I'm optomistic, but just not funny.
This was the reason I joined in this group, because I found myself laughing alot. I said something to Shawna on another thread about me not being witty enough to join in, and she said phooey. So here I am, the wise, older one, but just not funny

uhhhhhhhhh huuuuuuuuuuuuuu hmmmm yes yes.. I see.

Feel better?

Apartment laundry is such a joyful experience! I just jump for joy on laundry day don't you ??? it's weird here, the laundry is in a seperate building (10 washers/ 10 dryers, long tables in the middle.. it's not horrible hot as they have ceiling fan), and we have paths all thru the complex, if it was just a simple straight path it would be fine.. get a cart and stroll it over.. but no, we have stairs.
Each building is on a different level, climb up, zig zag, climb some more.

At least they are short steps.


I sometimes put my basket right over the machine, no mistake that the clothes belong to that basket. I set a timer to make sure to whizz back there and prevent anything from walking off.
I had an entire load of brand new towels stolen , HUGE complex. The laundry floor was on the 3rd level, we lived on the 37th floor. After that we just sat and read in the laundry room.

Well, I appreciate your presence, Tinkermell. Why, without you I'D be the wise, older... well, the older one, anyway.

 

[dizzyami]

I guess at least things are going better then for this guy - he proposed over one of the jumbotron things at a baseball game last night:

With the couple on display on the stadium's jumbotron, the male fan got down on one knee to present the ring. The woman, wearing a replica Astros jersey, appeared to dump a bag of popcorn on the man before hastily making her way up the stairs amid a chorus of boos, the newspaper reported.

I think we are the same age Alex ???

I'm .. gasp.. 37.


wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh where did the time go??

That used to happen all the time in college. People would steal laundry right outta the dryer, or more often, you'd come back and find your half-dried clothes piled up on top of a dryer while someone else's load was running.

So we also used to sit in the laundry room to make sure no funny business happened. It just gave me the creeps to think of someone pawing through my clothes, especially the underwear!

Bummer! I wonder if she was embarrassed?

Why do I feel like I will soon be billed for these services???

We actually have 8 washers and eight dryers (but the dryers are two high, so no putting a basket on it). All would be fine except for the lady who took all the machines and took off today. At least all of her clothes are strewn on the tables now

Scary - but would you really sit there for a few hours with your DS???

OMG, how awful!

Does make me wonder about the whole story though, ya know? Like was he being a jerk to her during the game, then all of a sudden pops out the ring when the Jumbotron is on them? I dated a boy (for waaaay too long) who had a lot of issues, but I thought I could 'help' him, and after all, he was just terribly misunderstood, right?

Anyway, whenever we were around other people he turned into this horrible person who made jokes at my expense. One time in a bar he brought up the fact that my childhood dog had just died, knowing it would make me cry in front of everyone. This older 'townie' who was sitting nearby stopped by and asked me WTH I was doing with this jerk, I could definitely do better.

I think he did expect us to get married, and I just knew there was no way I would ever marry someone like that and have kids with him. (Unfortunately I did still date him after that; youth really is wasted on the young!)

Hi ya all!!!!!!!!
Hey Bernice, I see your green light.
How is DH???????????????????????
How are you??????????????
Did you sleep last night????????

Megan, Alex and Pixster,
I got lost with all of your computer nerd stuff. Sorry, but I kind of breezed through that stuff.

Moto, I love your Christmas cruise picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You come up with some pretty nice stuff!!!

Albort, Are they using the same kids from the last HSM show????

Christina,
I'm sorry you are so cold! It must be different than Canada???? Hey there is a poster from Belfast, Scotland, who was asking questions the other day. You should PM her, and get to know her. Her DIS name is Belfastgal. Is Belfast close to you???????

Canada has awesome summers, I wouldn't want to be anywhere but Canada during the summer so I'm kinda bummed that I'm missing all the sunshine. I have no idea where Belfast is, but I don't believe it's near me. What was she asking about do you remember??
