PET PEEVES

One of my pet peeves is when my kids put blankets or pillows on the floor. It absolutely drives me insane!!!! They are throw pillows that belong on the couch - they don't belong on the floor!!!! And despite their name - they aren't meant to be thrown!!!! And blankets - meant to be spread out at the park for a picnic - not in the middle of the living room floor - K?

Another: When I see how other people put dishes away - Damn it - Stack the cups in the cupboard! They don't all get their own space. I don't have enough space not to stack cups!!! Just listen to me and stack the damn cups!!!! please?

I'm sure I'll think of more some other time.

WORK REVIEW

I had my review for work on Wednesday. I was a little dissapointed I didn't get a raise this time; not due to me performance thankfully. They started me out higher than they normally do, guess they were desperate to get someone in there lol. Also they gave me a raise at 2 mos instead of now - can't complain about that. I will qualify for another on my next review in 6 mos. so that will work for me.

I'm still liking the job - working on my time management/getting all tasks completed in timely fashion. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my job so I tend to go a little slower at first to perfect the task. Once I feel I've gotten something down that's not a problem. I should be able to improve within the 6 mos. Also they keep adding things for me to do. I love it for that reason - I'm constantly learning something about that place. Last night I volunteered for OT in the warehouse doing inventory. I got to go up on the forklift/pallet - I'm afraid of heights so that was scary at first, by the end of the night I felt completely comfortable. I had a blast to hanging out with the guys too!!!

Fantasy football and the football pool at work is going well. I'm 1-1 for my team on our fantasy league and # 2 overall right now (after 2 weeks) with 24 right picks on the work football pool. I want that half tire with the football coming through!!!! I haven't actually seen it, but for bragging rights I WANT IT! So now I have to study and make my picks for the week. If you have any tips let me know - all information is useful information!!!! Chicago or the Vikings? I'm having a dilemma as a true Viking fan. I want to win but don't want to sell out my team. What's a girl to do?

Kids are good - we're going through a meltdown phase with Jarod recently - I don't think he's feeling well right now. I remember when I was little, it was hard to adjust to school starting. My responsibility is to make it better with a regular schedule etc.... That is the worst mothering skill I have. At least I'm aware of it and trying to make it better.

Dum d dum d dum (fingernails tapping the desk). That's it. Peace.

funny commercial

I saw a funny commercial tonight. Forgive me, my story telling isn't up to par. Of course - it has to do with football!

A cashier takes his place behind the register in a grocery store and turns on his light to let people know he's open. He yells, "I'm open!" Then you see a big, good-looking football kinda guy standing in the aisle, he picks up some type of fruit or something from his basket and then whips the ball at the cashier, hitting him in the head cause of course when he said he was open he didn't really mean that. The commercial ends with the "It must be football season"

I told you the story telling wasn't great but you get the jist. You'd have to see it but I found it hilarious.

Speaking of football, I need Oakland to win right now!!! If they win, I win this weeks football pool at work. I would love to rub the boys' noses in it tomorrow. Besides that, I would win $15. Please let Oakland win, please let Oakland win, please let Oakland win. Go Raiders!!!!

shiskabob - San Diego is at the 1 yrd line, score's already 3-0 Chargers.

Please let Raiders win, please let Raiders win, please let Raiders win.

No!!!!! Again SHISKABOB:( They got a touchdown. It's 10-0 Chargers. AAArrrrrgggggg.

If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself. Let me at em'. LOL Could you see it? Me and my bad-ass 4' 11" self. Now that would be hilarious. And Ooh la la - a buncha men in uniform. Perfect.

Gotta go.

Wish the Raiders luck!!!! Please!!!!!!

I am thinking about: If this is what SD wanted me to do - peerrtty sure?!
I want to: Go skydiving and learn guitar - not at the same time of course .
I wish: For financial comfort.
I hear: My kids arguing.
I wonder: How people can be so cruel.
I regret: Nothing really - I am who I am today because of those horrible, selfish, stupid moments in life.
I am: Worried about my children's future.
I dance: Alone - not in front of people, sitting down.
I sing: Also in the car.
I cry: Rarely; usually over something others think I shouldn't be crying about. Things others cry about, I don't. Not sure what's up with that.
I make with my hands: obscene gestures. (thanks for that one SD)
I write: About my experiences. I don't have an imagination.
I confuse: Myself.
I need: A real man. (not really need)
And finally: what was the point of this? Self awareness.
