Hi

I love my cat. He is super cute and still cuddly. Sometimes I have to throw him across the room when he starts to get all bitey and stuff. But all in all he is a super kitty and I have dubbed him my new best friend. J thinks I am nuts, but come on, the kitten meets me at the door. And he follows me everywhere. Even in the shower. I love my cat.....


Enough of the mush.


We went to Busch Gardens over the weekend and had a fantastic time. Little J rode some roller coasters. One of which I thought he would be scared of since it did a loop-d-loop. The hotel we stayed in was very comfy with a nice continental breakfast. It's actually the same one we stayed at when we went to Seagrove (like 2 years ago) and little J remembered. Sunday it monsooned in the early morning, but cleared by 11 and left us with a beautiful breezy day. Little J talked me into one of the water rides. The little kids that sat in front of us assured me that only the front seats got soaked. Who was the only one that was drenched when it was over? ME! Right in the face too. The little boy turned and said he guessed I got wetter then he thought. I had to laugh. Luckily I was smart enough to layer our clothes so we just removed the wet and put the dry back on. We rode every ride and let J play in the kid area. It was a nice mini vacation for us. I am hoping to go back soon.

Has anyone ever seen that commercial for Direct Buy. "America's #1 way to buy direct" That shit costs $3500. That's THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Sick I know. But no I didn't join. That's a helluva lot of money. (sorry that was very random)

We will be moving next month. Not sure where to yet. We have looked at a couple of nice places, now we just have to decide. This apartment is just too small and there are too many college kids living here now. And the assholes above us? I get mad just thinking about them. I had to go up there at 1:30 in the morning. ONE THIRTY! He just looked at me and said "talk to the girls, they're leaving" Ummm hello bastard it's your freaking apt. and your responsibility. I told him to shut the fuck up and came back downstairs. I would have said more but J didn't wake up when I left and god forbid they had bashed me over the head or something......

Little J is still acting up in school. I just cross my fingers that next year is better and that he doesn't get held back because of his behavior. Do they do that? And wouldn't his teacher had said something by now? (not knocking the teacher, I LOVE her) I can't believe Kindergarten is almost over. The summer camp he is going to is right down the street from work but he won't know anyone there. I don't like that but the summer camp offered by school just wasn't enough for us. They didn't serve lunch or snacks and the kids had to be picked up by 4pm.

I guess I better do some cleaning now. I have a couple loads of laundry to fold and some dishes to do. But don't I always ;)

MOM!!!

"I found an Easter egg!!!! The Easter Bunny made an egg hunt" all before 7am. Blehhhh.

I decided not to do them outside. I figured I wouldn't be able to pull myself out of bed in time. So I hid them all over the house and J had tons of fun finding them. He was also excited to discover that there was money in them. He wanted to go buy a toy and was very sad to find out that the stores are closed on Easter Sunday. J is at work ALL day so we're not doing dinner. Little J and I went outside and he rode his bike. Finally after 16 months of having it he found a burning desire to learn how to ride.

Happy Easter Everyone. I hope you all had a delicious dinner. I am craving mashed potatoes. Maybe I'll have J bring me some.

Hi

I've been super busy since I got back from vacation. All work related. But things seem to be falling into place. Except for the meetings that are scheduled with no regard to people's lives. I am sorry that I can not find someone to pick my son up from school with only a weeks notice. I am sorry that I refuse to stay if I can't. What should I do? Let J go home with the ext. day teachers????? J and I have discussed this at length. I have also confided in one person I truly trust at work. She gave me some advice but also made it clear she didn't want me to step down because of it.




I had to work today and it wasn't that bad. It wasn't really busy like the other branch was on saturdays. If we weren't skipping Karate I wouldn't really care if I had to work or not. But since it's the only day we can get there these days I am not going to do it more then the rotation requires. All my girls are in training and one started at the branch this week. She is awesome. She didn't have any experience but caught on really quick. I am so happy to have her! Two will start next month and I am not sure about the 4th. But this means I will no longer have to close friday's or do the sat shift once they all get through training. Two of them are part time and their schedule requires the friday close and Sat shift. I will be so happy once all of them are out of training.




J had a really good two weeks at school. Poor kid got a U in conduct this time around. (Which is TERRIBLE) The previous two nine weeks he got an S. But he did make the all E honor roll, for the academic portion, again!




So I talked to the family today and they weren't sure they'd be able to make it in june. I only took PTO because they were gonna come down. Oh well. I will have three extra days if they confirm they can't come.




I guess I should turn into the easter bunny now. I am gonna make an egg hunt for little J. And yes it will be outside! I don't know what's come over me. I am not at all an Eastery kind of girl. It's just no my holiday...




Ha! I just told J to get ready for bed. He told me something (short term memory is not my strong suit) and then I turned around to tell him again and he is asleep and snoring on the couch. Silly boy.
