So, a number of people have mentioned to me that I haven't posted for a while, so this is for you... Its my blog - so leave me alone! Back off! Let me be!
Phew! Now that this is out of my system I can carry on!
We are 34 sleeps until we head to Spain! Since I am not counting, I can only tell you that this is 24 work days - 7 of which I am on call. It is also 4 more meetings that I HATE to attend every week, 13 cheer practices, games and jamboree, 1 picture day full of screaming kids and not enough time to sit back and smell the roses! See, not counting!!
Things have been very hectic around here! As I posted in July (yeah, yeah) camp ended with ice cream and some tears. School has started and the kids are settling into routines again. However, their new routine, means a new routine for the parents as well. As Glenn and I used to carpool to work together it was so easy! Heck, we worked together, so it was extra time to vent about kids, or work, depending on which direction we were driving at the time. however, now that he has gone and gotten a new job, there is a kink to the I get to nap on the way home plan. If I were to nap now, there may not be a tomorrow... Same for him and his adding a 45 minute nap to his morning.
Anyway, we are back to getting up earlier and getting the little one on the bus at 7am. The bigger kiddo gets to sleep extra, and he gets himself to the bus at 810. He has it made, but the bus is crowded...
What was I getting around to? Shoot, I don't remember! Maybe work... Work pretty much sucks right now. Why is it that you can go out of your way and be nice to someone and help them advance their career and you just get pooped on? I mean, I put the rest of my team in a bind to help this person and every issue that has escalated to above me and then back down is from something that he has done. nice way to treat the person that HELPED YOU!!! Notice, no names mentioned - but if you are reading, you know who you are and I think you are treating me like crap and being a schmuck. not to worry - all those tickets you can't seem to be bothered with will follow you...
Enough about work. It is pretty depressing right now... I really want to get back to my old job. The job I loved to go to because I saw progress and success. The job I loved and sacrificed for my bosses boss - to do him a favor... That's right folks - I DID NOT ASK for my current position. I WAS ASKED TO LEND A HAND! Why is this important? It is only important if you are the afore mentioned schmuck! See, jerk, I didn't take your job...
OK - I think it is out of my system now... Have I mentioned the one thing that is keeping me going these days? Yes, the cruise we are taking with the second "family" we have found! We are so excited!! 35 days from now we will be on a plane jetting to Spain, and 38 days from now we will be boarding the Disney Magic!! WOHOO!!!!
I still have a lot to do, but after cataloging what everyone was taking, and getting half the family packed up, I am no longer suffering the anxiety attacks! Our cruise shirts are in transit from Captain Jack, and once they arrive I can get down to the brass tax of packing the odds and ends. I still need to separate out the clothing for Barcelona, but I have gotten a big jump on things for this cruise.
Well, off to get homework checked, and make sure that the kids are ready for school tomorrow. For those of you that are curious, yes, I am still going to try and build a trio report with a daily post to this blog. Spread the link around if you want - it should prove to be good reading in 35 days!!! Oh, and if it matters, yes, I will try and post more before we leave as well!'
later gator!
