This is MY FRIDAY

THIS is my FRIDAY, at 1p today I will officially start my Memorial Day weekend!


Catch-up:

On Monday I told my 2 favorite bosses that I was looking for another job because of the bi-polar nazi. They were very upset but acknowledged that there was nothing they could do and they totally agreed with me on everything. They wished she would go instead but said that wouldn't happen either.

It is really sad because of her "connection" to the owners personal and business affairs the sons hands are tied. They also acknowledged that her knowledge of their financial information is not something they are happy about either.


So in honor of this being my FRIDAY and the bi-polar nazi that is in my office here is a special link:

Cheer Banquet, THE DRESS and T-ball

I won't do a whole post on this since I know Kheatherg wants to do one. Again G-mom will defer for the sake of her child. But, here are some pics and of course the DRESS.
Frankly, now that I see it in the pictures I'm not as fond of it as I thought. I think it makes me look heavier than I am. Husband and daughter say No. Guess I'll always have that "fat girl" in my head. Anyway here goes. BTW G-D#1 got 2 awards, Most improved and Cheerleading. BOTH coaches started out with..."This girl always has a smile on her face and she talks and talks and talks". Guess if you know her mom and I THAT'S not surprising!



G-D#1 with her awards



Us, again. Here is the whole dress. I'm just not a dress person. LOL





Here G-son on his final T-ball game for the season. He was soooo proud.

Friday Quickie....aren't they the best kind?

Quickie #1:

I bought a dress! Yep, a real, no skort, must wear a slip & heels dress.
For those that don't know me, I don't like dresses. Didn't like to wear them when I was fat, designers think Chunky people should wear FLOWERS,CHECKS and MULTI-COLORED STRIPES. I lose a little weight, now designers think 50yo women should wear something designed for the 25-35 group. I just didn't have the time to deal with all the bullshit, slap on shorts and a t-shirt and I'm outta here.

Husband loves me in a dress, why I have no idea. In my heart of hearts I would like to think because it allows easy access like his baggy shorts but, its probably because he likes to see me dressed up once in a while.

G-d#1 has her Cheer banquet tonight and I need to wear a dress, semi-dressy. Saturday is a "business casual", whatever that means because I wear shorts, Capri's and jeans to my business cause its casual, Mystery Dinner Theatre thing we are going to with a group of friends. Same dress two days*. *I will wash, jeez you guys. I will post a picture or two.


Quickie #2:
Well it looks like 5 weeks later I might get an interview from the resume I sent out. LOL Sometime next week after Tuesday.

Quickie #3:
The camping Nazi (aka daughter) finally e-mailed our list of food to bring. Not as rigid or demanding as last years Memorial day...is she changing?

That's all folks, have a great weekend and I'll post soon with dress pics. Whhhoooo!

Oops one more point of interest. One of the guys I work with lost his father this week. He passed in his sleep. I felt sorry for this guy, after all it was his dad. I read the obits and saw the name. The man was a 100yo and had 18 children! I bought my friend a card. we discussed his dad and he was very proud that he had lived so long and had such a full life. He was fairly healthy and passed peacefully.

SMR

Does your husband have:
S - elective
M - emory
R - elapse

or SMR? Mine does....alot lately.

Previously at the house of grammice: 1 week ago

Going camping Memorial day weekend. My folks, daughter and her family and us, an annual looked forward to event.
My folks were going to stay an extra day and leave their camper at daughters house then on Tuesday the husband & I would take off from work and hang out with my folks. They wanted to go to Costco and a few other places while they were in the area.

I told this to husband and he agreed to take off Tuesday. I also put in for the day off.

Saturday:
Speak to folks. They aren't staying the extra day as planned. They are leaving the following weekend for another camping trip so they felt like going home and re-grouping might be better. Told husband as soon as I hung up the phone. We discussed (sitting directly across from each other and looking at each other, no miscommunication excuse) and decided to take the day off anyway. (I finally have 2 weeks vacation & he has 3)

Fast forward to today..approximately 10:20am:
Call husband at work
Me: Did you remember to mark the calendar so everyone would know you won't be back till Wednesday after Memorial day?

SMR Husband: Why? What are we doing that Tuesday?

Me: (silently hoping he was joking) Remember? Mom & dad were gonna stay but decided not to we talked about it Saturday after I hung up the phone and you said that was fine.

SMR Husband: No, what are we doing? (This man definitely has a death wish)

Me: Saturday, remember on the back porch? I don't know that we will DO anything right now but we might change our minds.

SMR Husband: I'll see, I don't know who will be here (work)

Me: Whatever, don't worry about it I gotta go.

SMR Husband: Wait, hows your day going?

Me: fine, I gotta go

UNBELIEVABLE!!! I know I've been a little stressed lately with the shorter hours and money etc. but I'm not deaf, dumb or stupid. I KNOW when I talk to people and when I don't. I may not remember your name BUT, I usually remember the conversation.
He came home just as friendly as always, not a clue. Its times like this that I would like to smack him with a frying pan just to see if he would remember that! I had an "aunt" that used to do that when her husband would come home drunked up, he could never figure out where that big 'ol knot came from. We always figured she'd kill him one day. Now I think maybe he had SMR and the only time she could get even was when he was drunked up!

Miracles really do exist...

I've been using aluminum foil for more years than I care to remember. Great stuff, but sometimes it can be a pain. You know, like when you are in the middle of doing something and you try to pull some foil out and the roll comes out of the box, bounces down the counter and you have 75 ft of foil to try and re-roll. Once you get it re-rolled its all crooked and never, ever comes out the same again.

Well thanks to the wonderful world of E-mail I got this from a friend of mine today.

"Yesterday I went to throw out an empty Reynolds foil box and for some reason I turned it and looked at the end of the box. And written on the end it said, "Press here to lock end". Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place. How long has this little locking tab been there? I then looked at a generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too. I then looked at a box of Saran wrap and it had one too! I can't count the number of times the Saran wrap roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover something up."

Well, maybe at 50 simple things excited me more, who knows but...HOT DAMN! I immediately came home grabbed every roll-out item I have in my cabinet and WoooHoooo Its true! They ALL have the little push in tabs. I set down my purse and proceeded to push in all those little tabs on all those rolls. Parchment paper, saran wrap, aluminum foil, wax paper!!! OMG Miracle of miracles.
I then ran back to our den and thought "I must share, this small miracle with everyone."

Go now and PUSH THOSE TABS PEOPLE!!!

Bits and Pieces

OOO Its' finally Mother's Day! I hope everyone has a wonderful day. We deserve it!

Going to the grocery to buy ingredients for three Drunk potato casseroles and a banana split pie, Ambitious

Spending and hour and half shopping because the store is packed, Nerve wracking

Realizing you forgot your wallet and have no money to pay for groceries.... Du-huh!

Husband wash, dried and folded all the laundry, made dinner last night, did the the dishes and let me sleep-in till 7a!

On another note, I got a bike for Mother's Day to use when we go camping and such. I'm so excited! Took a spin yesterday and had the time of my life. Now all I need is a few cards and clothes pins to put on my spokes so I can make that really cool "motorcycle" noise.
Happy Mother's Day toooo meeeeeee

Chocolate and water?

Wednesday night I went for pizza and beer with my neighbor. We were gone about an hour. Husband was finishing his golf game (since its light til almost 9 now) so he wasn't home either.
We bought new phones and I never changed the factory set voice on the answering machine..just lazy. Well while were gone we had 3 hang up calls and one voice mail..if you could call it that.

VM#1-3 - Loud racket, background noise, hang up.

VM#4 - "Mommy, that damn man is answering g-moms phone again!" The phone slams down.

Call daughter, "did you call?"

"No, 5 did."

"Whats the matter?"

"You bought him chocolate for his milk and I ran out of milk so he wanted to mix the chocolate with water and I wouldn't let him. He decided to call you because you would let him but every time he called your machine picked up and it pissed him off because some "damn man" was answering your phone."

"Oh, sorry, does he still need me?"

"No, he's over it now."

I told husband about it, after we got tickled with the "damn man" thing he said
"G-mom, that's just nasty you wouldn't have let him do it."

"Why not?"

"Because its nasty, it would make him sick."

"No, it wouldn't and every kid has to try the chocolate/water thing growing up, its a right of passage to try new stuff that turns out nasty."

"Your weird, and no, I didn't do that."

"Well I did and its nasty, that's why you don't like to try new things, you never did "cool stuff" growing up."

"No, that just means I have more sense than you do."

"No, that just means YOUR chicken shit and I'm not!"

Annoying your sister 101

"Will you stop smackin' your nasty elephant lips in my ear!"


G-daughter #2 - 12yo and g-son - 5yo have a mission. While not being acknowledged when caught, their mission as I understand it is to make their 13yo old sisters', life a living hell with obnoxious noises, touching her stuff, standing/being or looking like they know her and the worst thing...."dressing worse than a homeless person".

OBNOXIOUS NOISES......
G-daughter #1 is totally fed-up with the "nasty, grass-muncher" that is sitting in the backseat of my truck trying to suck a Wendy's Frosty thru a straw (on purpose I'm sure). The culprit? Her 12yo sister egged on by her 5yo brother who is taking the Wendy's spoon, still in plastic and holding it up to his sisters ear and crinkling the plastic, then promptly turns to g-daughter #2 and says "Quit doin' that with your lips open", then laughs when I tell them to stop and "leave your sister alone"!
G-son starts smackin his lips together and makes farting noises with his lips or cheek (somewhere on his body) and says GD#1, GD#2 is making those noises again". And we continue the LOOOONNNNGGGGG drive to drop off the two "nasty grass munchers" before taking #1 to school where she will be blissfully embraced by others of her kind.

DRESSING WORSE THAN A HOMELESS PERSON....
Example #1
As noted first hand when I took all three of them to the dentist today. GD#1 is walking ahead of us by 15-20' (making sure we don't look like we all rode together) when she suddenly turns on her heel faces GD#2 and says,
"Why do you dress like a nerd with me", then starts tugging at her shirt, twisting and turning her jeans I thought for sure she was going to shake her out like you do when you put a pillow in a pillowcase! Turns to me and says,
"See g-mom THIS is what I'm talking about"! Then promptly turns her loose and says "there now you can go in." GD#2 turns to me and says "G-mom isn't this what I looked like before?" "I think so honey, but she likes you now." And we continued into the dentist.

Example #2
Evidently after your 1st braces check-up you get a SMILE shirt from the dentist. Black with SMILE in big colorful letters. Daughter is paying for this and g-sons Treasure Box visit in her monthly "mouth mortgage" payment. Well, #1 wore her shirt and #2 GOT her shirt. She was very excited. Then she did the "thing". She put it ON!!! She just stood there and pulled it on over her other shirt and SMILED!
OMG! NOOOOOOO #1 looks at her, eyes wide and says "#2 What are you doing? You look stupid, TAKE IT OFF! God, see what I have to put up with"? #2 Looks at her, then takes it off. #1 then tells me how her "efforts" to teach her how to dress are wasted because she does "stuff like that in public". I'm confused because #1 had HER shirt on over her shirt when she went in. I did mention that...#2 said "yeah #1, you had yours on like that". Poor thing she was clinging to something I said trying to defend her "faux paux". When #1 just turns and looks at us like we have lost our minds to even question her style and says "But, I look cool and she looks stupid".
OK, NOW I get it. Stupid me.


LOOKING LIKE WE KNOW HER......
As we are sitting down #2 decides to sit NEXT to her sister. #1 could not roll her eyes any further around. "G-mom,WHY does she have to sit THERE?" "Why? What's wrong with there?". "She needs to sit outside." "#1, leave your sister alone, shes' fine where she is, shes not touching or looking at you, granted she probably is breathing a tad bit more of your air than you usually allow, but its all good."
More eye rolling, scooching over to the far armrest. I'm glancing up thinking "why doesn't SHE move if its so awful?" What the hell do I know?

TOUCHING HER STUFF.....This one is mostly g-son.
He adores "touching her stuff" every single last bit! He will go through her room touch something, she will yell at him, go after him and he will scream with joy while running from her and touching every single item he can reach on the way out the door!
He jumps on her made bed, puts his "gnarly bug-head" on her pillow, opens her jewelry box, investigates her Cheer bag, note books and back pack!
He will put his finger on her plate, he will touch her food, drink out of her cup (without permission) and steal food off her plate.
He butts in when shes trying to get dressed, he makes fun of her hair or clothes and calls her names. She threatens to give him away, punch him out or send him to live with whatever boogerman she can think of.
They love each other.

I keep telling #1 that someday she will sit around with the "grass-muncher" and "gnarly bug-head" and laugh about all this stuff, because they are brother and sisters and they really love each other.
She slowly turns, looks and squints her eyes at me and says "In the same room? The way they dress? UH-Huh, I don't want anyone to know I know them"!
