You know, how it is.

You think you know someone, and then…

and then your whole vision of them changes.

and you realize it wasn’t just one thing that did it, it was a whole bunch of little things…but it might have been one little thing that put it over the edge, that made me realize, made me see what I had been ignoring, …It’s just not worth it.

My life, is worth more than THIS.

So…

Shame on me for trusting them.

Shame on me for thinking we were friends.

Shame on me for wasting my time on that friendship.

and

Shame on me for wasting a post on it.

Stick a fork in me – I’m done.

(Co-workers suck sometimes)

I need to remember today…so that when I have a day like yesterday – I can remember today.

Our morning routine was sooo easy today, I’m not sure what was different. They got up – got dressed, ate, brushed teeth, combed hair (Tink even let me put in braids)and we were out the door at the right time. Tink was awesome when I dropped her off – hug/kiss – and then a quick wave at the window.

Had a good day at work…nothing major. I just made the decisions, rather than ask permission, and then just told them this is how it is going to be… and was able to get alot of things off my “to do list”. Didn’t take lunch but that’s my fault because I had to go to Post Office for Mr. Incredible, and that is a post in itself..

Went to get the kids, and Tink had a great time at preschool…she loved her day, had a star for having a great day. Pan also had a good day – he got to go to the library, and brought home some “fun” reading books, and he is now sitting on the couch reading them to Tink. He is being nice, held open the door for her and me… Makes me wonder – Can these possibly be the same kids?

Yesterday he was ready to kill her, and today – I think Pan would die protecting her…

Have you ever had days where you wish you had no children?

Have you have had days where you wish that you maybe only had one instead of two?

*blink*

WHAT? I’m the only one????? You LIE… You’ve all had days like today – none of you are brave enough to admit it….

******************

Today is day two of NO afternoon naps for a particular 4 year old, add that to the heat – which the 7 year old is going nuts over because school got out early and how is he going to get smart if he is constantly missing school – (That’s him who is worrying about that – not ME). and that makes for an interesting evening in the Incredible household….

so I’ve been home for 1 hour and 12 mins and 55, 56, 57 seconds – oh you get the idea, and I CAN’T WAIT for work tomorrow…..I can’t remember having this feeling of wanting to be there instead of here… WTF?

What did I ramble about? Yeah, I don’t know either. No one really reads this do they? Ya’ll skim it – don’t ya? When I started blogging, I had no idea where it would take me, or where I would go with it… I still don’t know…

Do you think it is because I would rather talk about nothing to total strangers (you, and you and of course, you), then talk about something of some significance to someone I know?

Do you suppose that it’s because all of you accepted me for me – you didn’t judge me based on my “cover”. Do you think it’s because I was able to do the same for you?

Thanks for reading – and who knows maybe I’ll stick around for 600 more!

Does anyone watch Army Wives?

Don’t want any spoilers for those of you who TiVO it – but…

What kind of ending is that? I thought it was coming back next season.

The river is rising in Gotham City – we went last night to look at the damn and to see just how much of Gotham City was going to go under. The last few years, they have gotten pretty good at buying the homes that flood, and turning them into parks.

I used to work with a gal who owns a house on the river – I don’t know why she hasn’t sold, but I talked to her Friday night – the only thing left in their basement – was the water heater, washer and dryer. Everything else was pulled.

I told her to call if she needed help to get the rest of it out.

I’ll have to go back down to the damn to see if I can get decent pics. As the ones I took last night are toooo dark.

It’s been a few years since we switched insurance companies – at the time our company provided excellent coverage, but was SO very expensive. And since I was bored today I thought I would look on-line at some of the different company out there.

First I looked for car insurance and figured I should look for home insurance and life insurance.

I need to find our policies to make sure I am comparing apples to apples, because if the coverage isn’t the same, it’s not worth changing. I also have to be careful to do a little research on each company to make sure that I won’t be dropped just because I have a claim.

My boss’s parents had the same company for 20 years, never had a claim. They had a house fire and spent 18 months trying to them to fix their home. They almost lost everything that they didn’t lose in the fire. Ended up living in their cabin and with family while they attempted to rebuild. Just based on that one story – I will never use that company.

This has been a sponsored post.

and I DON’T DO Manual Labor….or some BS like that.

Today after the Beer guys came (yes, we have beer delivered to my work)- I had to ICE DOWN a keg in a tub – meaning I literally emptied the ice maker to fill the tub the keg was in. Walk-in Cooler would be helpful – nope not working…Makes me think of high school kegger parties (not that I would ever done that) *whistles*

I am exhausted – got so much done, yet accomplished nothing. I even went to the liquor store and picked up our liquor order – had enough that I filled the back half of the Sport Track (8 boxes). Had to laugh because the wine lady was very specific about which wines to chill and which ones to keep at room temp. (She labeled the boxes)

But I’m ready for tomorrows big event. Remind me to be thankful when the kinda boss guy returns in a week.

It’s a total TGIF…

I have a HUGE checklist to do at the office – if I get to take a lunch I think I may go into shock.

I hope you all have a great weekend.

I am sure you have seen, or read other blogs, or the TV advertisements, magazine articles, etc about the Memory Walk.

I’ve been a team member on other “walks” and after each event, I always have a feeling that I’ve been a part of something good. I’ve never been a Team Captain but in looking at the page – I think it’s something that even I could do, and anyone can be on the team – from your kids to your mother, to your next door neighbor.

From the website: The Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk® is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research – and it calls on volunteers of all ages to become champions in the fight against Alzheimer’s. There are walks in more than 600 communities. A typical Memory Walk is a 2-3 mile walk held on a weekend morning in the fall.

By teaming up with the Alzheimer’s Association, you can walk with a purpose – and move us closer to a world without Alzheimer’s. Together, we can MOVE a nation. Since 1989 the Memory Walk has raised over $225 million.

I don’t know if I have ever told the story about visiting my Great-Grandma B in the nursing home. Every Sunday after church my family would go and see her for about 45 minutes and then take her down to the main dining hall. I loved and cherish the memories I have of my Great-Grandma B. But not a single one of my siblings can talk about our visits without mentioning “Wilma”.

Wilma was a resident at the nursing home, and unfortunately she had Alzheimer’s. There were days when she would tell us to go collect the eggs, or to exercise the horses – being young and not really sure what to do – we would always say “yes ma’am” and walk past her room. It was so sad when her daughter or son would visit, and she wouldn’t recognize them, yet she would see me or my brother (thinking we were her kids) and tell us to do the chores. Her children understood it was the disease. To watch a family go through it, makes it all so hard and sad.

Together we can find a cure.
