Vacation....

The look on my dad's face when James came RUNNING down the airport was priceless. When I mean run, I am talking drop the backpack and haul ass right into my dad's arms. It was a completely stereotypical airport reunion scene and it was fabulous. Of course Dad knew we were coming but James has grown in the 6 months that Dad saw him last.

Everyone was surprised. My sisters were complete assholes and wouldn't come home. I didn't want to ruin the surprise so mom had to make up some excuse as to why they had to come back. They had told her they would be home by 3pm, LIARS. They rolled in around 5 after calling repeatedly. At one point A said they were ten minutes away. They hadn't even left Cleveland which is 40 miles from here..........

We went out on Saturday night and that was awful. My old ass mother got WASTED! Wasted I tell you! It was the most embarrassing thing I have ever experienced. Both sisters said they had never seen her so bad. I wanted to choke her. I was the DD but driving my sis's stick for the first time. I stalled the first go around and my BIL looks at sis and says, "I don't think B is the best one of us to drive." This from a man who A. had about 12 beers and B. CAN'T even freakin drive a stick. Asshole...... D just snickered. Yesterday we went to the natural history museum. J loved it and took LOTS of pictures. Tomorrow we are going to the Botanical Gardens and then to my Cousin's house. Not sure what's going on Thurs. Friday we're driving 2 hours to Pittsburg, just to go to IKEA. Yeah that's how much we love it. Saturday we are going to Niagara Falls. We leave Sunday afternoon. Time flies when you plan it out like that, lol.

Vacation

It starts tomorrow and couldn't come fast enough. I'll be glad to be away from work for the next 9 days.


We had a PT Conference last night. J's teacher suggested that the temper tantrums could be because he is a full year younger then ALL his classmates. Although he is doing VERY well academically he is not yet as mature. She said that next year should be better for him. I'm crossing my fingers...... But it was nice to hear how well he's doing otherwise.


I had a meeting with my manager and let her know exactly what was driving me crazy and how we can reduce the unnecessary crap. She is totally on board. She is doing her best but the situation is not ideal for all of us. (but me especially, since it's my teller line that is understaffed.) We're working on it and hopefully it will get better.

I go in at 10 today but I had one call out. 4 tellers on a Friday. I am sure you can just imagine.......

"where does depression hurt?"

I am in the famous Bonnie black hole. I can't figure it out. So many things...... they are all eating at me. J doesn't even notice. I am at my wits end at work and I let them know that last night. I am seriously thinking about quiting. Little J has been misbehaving at school again. Our lease is up in two months and J wants to move. He thinks we can buy a house by then. I wish I was as positive and upbeat about it. The thought of it makes me nauseous and it also makes me cry. His sister just closed on a house so now I also have the jealousy to deal with. Why am I like this? Why am I not happy no matter what's happening?

I just to crawl into bed and stay there....

Soooo

I've booked a surprise trip to Ohio over spring break. How sad that you now need a passport to get back into the US from Canada. I had my heart set on it. But not for the $200 passports will set me back. Especially since they'll be used once.....

Anyway. I am SO excited to go. Haven't been in 2.5 years. Since Gramma died. Dad knows I am coming (cuz he paid) but that's because J wouldn't let me drive and he said he was pretty sure dad would say I shouldn't either, he did......


Work is OK. Not great but maybe I can see the potential. I do believe I will have to work some Saturdays while we are acquiring a staff. Umm had I known that I would not have taken the job. Seriously I wouldn't have. It's bad enough working as much as I do all week, but to carry it over. Shit that's just no good. J doesn't know yet, and he's not going to be happy about it. I can here him now "you need to quit and go to school...."

His job is going well. He already has business cards, which is funny. They must have been sure they were going to give him the position. He got more money then he expected but exactly what I wanted! That and the potential bonus has me smiling.

Nothing exciting, since we're both working too much.

What the hell have I gotten myself into?????

WORK IS AWFUL. I hate it and am ready to A.) quit or B.) demote myself and return to those who like me. It's complete anarchy and I am stuck in the middle. The "employees," all frickin 2 of em, resent the fact that I got the job. One I didn't ask for, didn't want and would gladly give up. Because of this they are stirring the pot. Both have applied for other jobs, so hopefully they'll be out of my hair soon. If not I won't be there much longer, it's just not worth it. I was warned of a lot of things, but not this.

J is officially GM. Crazy, who woulda thought???? But he doesn't want to move. Sorry Darlene..... He says the commute is crazy (I would be making it) and people drive like idiots, so he doesn't want me to have to do it. We will be moving out of this apartment, well haven't we been saying that for the last year? Who knows what will happen. I just really prefer that the kid be able to stay in his current school. I know there are no houses in our price range over here, and this is like the only affordable apartment complex.

I am listening to the neighbors. He is breaking up with his girlfriend, probably the drunk witch that vomited on my porch. She is sobbing and begging, all the while talking to her BF on the phone. Ahhhhh to be young again. LOL.

Crap I can't believe it's so late. And where did the weekend go? It sure does fly by.

J is at a friend's watching the superbowl. Is it over yet? I guess I'll get my clothes ironed. It's easier then doing it in the morning.
