Blahhhh

What's worse then finding yourself sick on a Friday morning? After my break yesterday I was so sick and thought maybe the food I ate had something to do with it. I had to work through the stomach cramps, nausea and dizziness, and I should get an award for it :) I came home and tried to go to bed but I started throwing up. "Hmmm," you say. Could this be sign of pregnancy? Yeah I thought so too, but according to the HP test it's just some virus that has invaded my body or some weird symptoms of impending menstruation... I took J to karate and thought some soup would be ok for lunch. NOT OK. We came home and I went back to bed. He is being terrific and playing in his room.

I guess my vacation will coincide with the right days to have the HSG done. It was still up in the air, since my cycle can't seem to get it's shit together lately. I am going to call the Dr Monday and hopefully something will be open that week. (and cross your fingers she isn't on vacation) I also have a dentist appt. Our dentist had to retire but a new DDS is running the practice. I hope I like him....

J brought me salad for dinner last night and I really want to eat it but I know it won't stay down. I am soooo hungry, and that salad looks soooo good.....

CRAP

School's out on friday. No sitter. What am I gonna do. This is ridiculous! I hate being here. If I was still in MS I'd have a sitter. If I was in Ohio I'd have a sitter. But here I am in wonderful freakin florida with no sitter. Yeah I'm bitter. But really I have no idea what to do. J tried to switch shifts but that didn't work......

Well.....

I had no baby sitter today so J came to work with me for two hours then we came home. J sr's niece was supposed to watch him but when I went over there no one answered the door. AFTER I knocked for TEN minutes, I tried to call but I got voicemail. By that time I was going to be late and I was supposed to be opening. I loaded j back into the car and went on my way. Everyone did a double take as they came in this morning, but really what could I do? I did my opening "chores" and we left. And they're lucky I cared enough to do that. I coulda just called in completely!

I fell asleep around 11:30 and didn't wake up until 2:30. Woops. But J was ok. I let him turn his tv back on and he ate the lunch I packed him (when he was supposed to be at niece's) We dropped some food off for J. I don't know why but he had to stay at work all day. He's still not home. We went to Karate and J did well.

Still not pregnant, still haven't done the tests. I have vacation scheduled in two weeks but it doesn't conincide with my period so I can't schedule the tests for then. What am I gonna do? Two year mark is quickly approaching.

Time for some soup. It's quiet so it's also time to ponder some things...

Cool Breezes

It's finally cooling off. AWESOME!

My 4 yr old nephew is in Ohio making me a buckeye necklace because I asked him to. I promised to wear it. That sucker'll weigh like 5 pounds but I'm gonna sport it anyway. I told him to find two tiny ones to make a pair of earring. If you're wondering what a buckeye is (besides the Ohio State mascot) it's the state tree of Ohio. We were lucky (and unlucky) enough to have two huge trees in our yard. (unlucky because they are in spiky hulls that hurt like hell if you step on one from the previous fall, barefoot.)

HOLY GEEEEZE

I went to the mall, well two of them, and found some $2 shirts for little J. I was looking for the $2 shorts but they didn't have any this time.

So the whole point of this is to say..... I wore some supercute slingbacks and now I have some supercute blisters on my feet(superHUGE too). YOWSA! They hurt so bad. What was I thinking trying to be cute?????

Oh and in other news. I once again found an eviction notice on my door, most of you have probably forgotten the last time. If I pay anything on time it's the damn rent. When I gave her my new lease I clipped the rent check to it. I told her that it was for October rent, but human error occurred and she left it clipped to the lease. PAIN IN MY ASS. At least this time they found it.

Book fair time and I am volunteering. Had I realized I would be off I would have worked it ALL day today. I am so freaking bored. But I volunteered for the late shift on Thursday. I can't wait. I love school book fairs! The library (now called "the media center") is awesome by itself so I am looking forward to doing it.

I keep hitting tab instead of enter because my brain keeps reverting to my work email where I have to tab to get a new line. Quite annoying here as I then have to mouse back to where I was......

Shit I just did it again!

Little J got invited to a friend's house but becasue of the tantrums he couldn't go. I am hoping he behaves this week because I would really like for him to have an after school friend.

My lunch is done and then I am off to Target to buy bandaids for my feet. I will not be able to work without them.......

It's quiet

No work for me but the kid has school. I really don't have anything to do, well besides cleaning this filthy house :)

Last night J highlighted my hair. And let me just say the $7 dollar revlon highlights are AWESOME. And $7!!!! I am in love! I love my hair dark but it was just too much. The highlights make it look a lot better. And no one would ever know I didn't spend $70. Sweeeet.

J isn't doing better at school and there isn't much more we can do to stop him. I just hope that it's something he will eventually outgrow.

J sr has been thinking about getting a new job. He has FINALLY realized that there is going to be bullshit everywhere. That although we loved his job with Friday's (and miss the free food) there was bullshit there that made him leave. The current BS is a little more maddening but is it so much so that he wants to start all over again. I think he is seeing that it's not worth it. Sure he could get MUCH better vacation time but that's about it. He can't change the hierarchy of upper management no matter where he goes. I am not sure what his final decision will be.

I need to get my butt in school. I can't do my job forever. Although I am happy I can see the potential for advancement isn't great. Of course I could advance but I would have to kiss a lot of ass and I just don't want to. I've realized that I need a career, not a job. But of course I have no idea what I want to do with myself.

It's only 9am. What am I going to do with myself all day......

What a week

J has been throwing temper tantrums at school. This isn't really a new issue, since he does it here at home, but it hadn't yet carried over to school. Now it has and in a big way. Everybody seems to think we give in to these tantrums at home. WE DON'T. I don't ever give him what he is crying for. Just to clear that up.....
We tried talking to him about it (but come on he's been doing it for 2 years, talking isn't working) So as it continues we have allowed only 15 minutes of tv. Then no tv altogether. Then NO toys. His room is completely bare (it's so nice and clean) No snacks. No treats. No happy meals. No nothing. As of last week none of that had worked. I am really hoping that this week will be a better week. As it stands I've already had two phone calls from his teacher and we have a conference scheduled in two weeks. GREAT........ One of my co-workers says we need to give him a good spanking. But I KNOW that doesn't work with J. It may work for other kids, but with J it only affects him for the moment. He will not remember the next time he throws a fit how badly the last spanking hurt. So I am at a loss.

I have no other news.
