Goodbye

Empowered

I have just now come to the realization that I am not the same person I used to be.  Duh, right?  But no really.  I have always been of the doormat mentality.  Always doing what everyone else wants me to do, never standing up for myself, always saying yes, never saying no.  Well, that has changed.  (to a degree, I don't think it will ever go away completely)  But I am thrilled to say that I have changed!  What brought this realization on?  Well, I have this friend.  She's been my friend for awhile but she had a girlfriend and was thus occupied.  The girlfriend has left and now she's attatched herself to me.  No big deal, right?  I pride myself on being a pretty good friend.  I even enjoyed texting her everyday and the ongoing conversations.  But it started getting old.  HELLO!  I work, I can't text all day.  I have a family, I can't text all night.  And then she started in with "when can I come over? can I come over tonight?  do you want to do lunch?"  CONSTANTLY!!  I ignored her, I gave her empty answers, until I had enough.  My answer tonight was "when I invite you."  Her response was "O...ok" and I haven't heard from her since.  I don't mean to be a bitch or anything but give me a break.  I'm 28 years old, I have a husband, a family, a home and a job.  I don't drop everything and hang out with my friends all the time.  For crying out loud, Bubbly, Roxie and I have been planning this party for over a month and it's been a LOOOONG time since we went out last time.  Geez!  Grow up!  So, I'm feeling pretty damn good about myself.  LOL!!!

99.9%

Okay, new question.  All these cleaners, soaps, hand sanitizers, etc ALL say they kill 99.9% of germs.  What's stopping them from going all the way?  What germ are they not killing and does one of the others kill it?  And are they REALLY only killing 95% but they thought 99.9 sounded better?

About my last blog.  I thought it was really interesting that you guys thought I "stood up" to my boss when I told him I couldn't take it and was leaving.  Here I thought that I bailed, that I sucked at my job.  Anyway.  So a friend of mine calls and leaves this message on my phone about this job opening in Fort Smith and how I'd be perfect for it.  I just got the message today (hubby briefly told me about it yesterday) so I haven't called her back BUT if the money's worth it I may just look into it.  I just don't know that I want to stock shelves at Wal-mart for the rest of my life, plus, I have no friends there.  You know.  I don't know.  I'll call her and find out the details.  It may not be anything I want to pursue.  But then...it might be.

Why is flirting so much fun?  I mean, I can flirt and flirt and blush and blush and it makes me want to do all kinds of nasty things to my husband.  LOL!!!

Well, before I dig myself into a hole, I better go!!!!!

Mood...Good!?!?!?!?!

I am pleasantly surprised to find myself in a good mood!  My GAWD it feels good to get some bills paid!!  My phone's back on, the house payment is paid, the dish is paid and the gas is paid.  Now I just have to get it turned back on!  LOL!  We've been winging it.  We have one hot water heater that is electric and it hasn't been THAT cold around here!  Thankfully.

So, to catch you up.  We had this test type thing at work were this team came in and scored us on a whole bunch of things.  Last week I busted my hump trying to get ready and make my area (both out front and in back) look the best.  The night before the people came I stayed an hour late and STILL had crap to do.  I told management and they gave me this girl to finish up for me.  No big deal.  I came in the next morning expecting to do some last minute stuff and be in good shape.  First I get there and the girl had done NOTHING the night before.  NOTHING!!!!  Then the managers come by and tell me like eleventeen thousand things to do.  ALL AT ONCE.  Okay folks.  I am the mentally unstable.  I have been fairly well and have managed to maintain sanity at a reasonable level.  Until then.  I wigged out.  Told my manager I couldn't handle it and went home.  I also took Friday off.  I fully expected them to be somewhat upset.  However, they were very understanding.  I got a huge pep talk this morning from my manager (though it was lame, at least he tried) and he told me he's in the process of hiring someone for my area.

And today wasn't too bad.  I didn't get a whole heck of a lot done but I also didn't get all stressed out.  So, it was nice.

Oh, someone call DHS.  Take this mistreated, neglected, red headed child OUT of our care!!!!!  (*sniggers*)  She blew out on me a week or two ago because we "treat SD like he's some kind of god."  This was two days after I took her to see the musical Hairspray, on a school night AND bought her a new dress to wear to it.  Today she goes off on her dad because all of her friends have Razor phones, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.  Keep in mind this is also the child that sent two pictures of herself over the internet on her phone AND her sex, birthday and name.  The child that took naked pics of her brother with her phone.  The child that hasn't used her phone in MONTHS because she can't friggin be trusted.  I don't know what her problem is but this ungrateful, mistreated attitude is just about to be on my LAST nerve and the poor nerve is already frayed as it is.

Let me see, we've covered work, kids, bills...I guess I'll go.  Tootles!!

Just wondering
