I'm the only one in the office today so I answered the phone and it was this psycho client screaming at me that we made the worst mistake of our life and he is going to hire the biggest, baddest lawyer to sue our company. I can't wait until our admin starts Monday, I hate answering the phone!
my kid lost her ballet slipper at dance class this monday.
i'm irrationally irritated at the daycare director, who just emailed the class to please check to see if they have it because L lost her her slipper "again."
MY KID HAS NEVER BEFORE LOST HER FUCKING BALLET SHOE, OKAY?!?!?! this is not an "again" situation. something can't happen "again" if it's never happened before. stop maligning my kid's character.
then again, the director refers to the "mommies" instead of the "parents" in 90% of her emails and has a pink tool kit (ew), so i'm primed to have her grate on my last damn nerve 24/7.
1. I am fucking LOVING the House debate on the farm bill. (Ironically, nobody on the CE&P board seems to give a shit.) The Dems are throwing DOWN, and debate is fiery. I'm sort of a geek about procedural fights, so this is awesome. And it's infinitely better than watching Zimmerman coverage, so there's that. THANK GOD they're in closing arguments. I know I'm a broken record on this, but I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR NONSTOP COVERAGE. This is not news, C"N"N.
DAYUM - Rep Brown from Florida just screamed "SHAME ON YOU!" to the Republicans. "Mitt Romney was right - you DON'T care about the 47%!"
I feel like Congress is its own little Soap Opera. You have the drama, intrigue, sex, scandals, etc. Interesting stuff.
I'm getting frustrated with my left knee. I started PT for it a week ago and yesterday while getting into my car I tweaked it and it fucking hurts. It makes me feel old.

I am going to see the Tragically Hip tonight with a bunch of friends from university (They are from my University town so we saw them walking around pretty regularly). So excited! The weather Gods have decided to smile on us and it is going to be warm and sunny!
The most terrifying thing the nanny does is text me a short, basically-saying-nothing-sentence then pictures. I've told her before my service at work isn't good enough to download pics on my phone and to please email me them.
So just now I got "Gabe just woke up" and three, non-downloading pictures. I freak out thinking he's not walking, he woke up with his whole body swollen, his head is the size of a melon (...okay, a larger melon)...something horrible.
But no, he's just covered in hives again (I let the benadryl go b/c I didn't want him to be tired on it and have us miss a head injury thing earlier).

I am insanely upset at work - I was supposed to be paid on 7/1. I submitted my hours on 6/24. I still haven't gotten paid. Now that I am a contract employee, it feels like I don't matter. I'm officially looking for a new daytime job starting this week. I can't deal with this anymore.
I did ask the payroll person about it. First she told me she "forgot" to mail the check. Then she told me the CEO hadn't been in to sign the check yet. Then she told me she was going to overnight it yesterday. It didn't get shipped until today, which is incredibly crappy because I was supposed to be going out of town tomorrow to meet my mom for a mini camping adventure (she's spending the month of July hopping from campsite to campsite all over CO). I don't even know what to do.
In other news, life is good with N. I met his family this week and they are all so nice and awesome and funny and REAL. Just good people. I really, really, really really really like him a lot. I want to say the L word, but I don't want to be the first to say it. He draws hearts on me with his fingers all the time. He makes me feel so very, very special all the time. I'm so grateful for his presence in my life.

Before I went away to college my mom bought me a pink tool kit. I called it my Barbie tools. All these years later I still have my Barbie hammer, lol
Also, one of the admin ladies at daycare calls me mom. But I'm sure it's bc she doesn't know my name. But it weirds me out. Just ask my name. I'm not your mom.
Our rescue cat is due to give birth any day now and she is so damn fat she keeps getting poop on her belly when she gets out of the litter box. It's gross and comical at the same time.
I made my goal of running a 5k in under 29 min last week. I ran it in 28:57, but still! It was under 29 min. I'm running another one this weekend and there are team results. I'm stupid nervous that I will let my team down.

That sucks!! I hated answering phones when I worked retail because people used to love yelling as they felt safe not being face to face. BTW Did you get my pm?

For the first time all damn summer, amirite?
I can't believe how many games of Ultimate I've had cancelled. My Wednesday night team has finally gotten to the point where we've played 1 more game than has been cancelled.

You are oh so very right. I am gleeful.
I play softball on Tuesdays. I think it rained every day except 2. Once in May, and this week when it was godawful hot.
Daycare texted me a photo of Andy with the animal man today. He's petting an alligator, which is cool, but I kind of feel like there should have been a permission slip for that ish. Lol! Alligators are creepy!

We took the boys when they were....just under a year?...to the local museum and they were having animals. The boys were freaked out by snakes but intrigued by the alligator.
I'll bet he looooved it!!! But I'd totally want a heads up from the daycare lol.

I need to AW my little bro for a sec. He finished summer school today, but for him this means he finished high school a year early!! I'm really proud of him, he worked so hard this year.

I wish daycare texted me pics!!
And I can't wait for Alex to be old enough to go to Gatorland. I love alligators!!

Wow, congrats to him! What is he going to do now?
Thanks! Actually, he's already registered at the local community college for the second summer session, which starts next week. Kid has a good head on his shoulders.
So I called home this afternoon and M1 answered the phone. "Hi, Mom!"
"Hey, honey, what are you up to?"
"I wrote a petition. To get them to make more My Little Pony stuff. Molly signed it. I'm gonna send it to [EmilieMadison 's daughter]. I KNOW she'll sign it."
She's the sweetest, most polite rabble-rouser ever.
I love this. My Little Pony was my favorite growing up, so I understand and support her cause.

Gatorland is in Orlando, it's a zoo like place with hundreds of gators. It's cute!
Cute?!?! I've been there and was never the same. This is a place of nightmares. Hundreds of gators everywhere. And my friends brothers entertained themselves dangling into fences feeding the gators. This was like 17 years ago, hopefully its safer now lol.
I think 98% of newborns are not remotely cute. Not even my own. Once they hit about 3 months, get some chub and smile then they're cute, but newborns? Newp, they're all skinny and rashy with buggy eyes that don't focus. And mine had a huge nose too.
