Do you remember?

Last weekend I had my youngest cousin over to watch High School Musical 2, and take her to the Armada Fair with me so Morgan could ride the carnival rides. My youngest cousin is 11 and most people mistake her for my child because of her blond hair, brown eyes and boney knees. She looks alot like me when I was young, I would never want to re-live my youth once was enough for me. For a second though I had to remember just how old I really am and how my aunts must have felt watching me grow-up. In a conversation with my youngest cousin as she bounced around my living room arms raised and counting in a whisper trying to smile and practice her cheer for her new season of cheerleading sounded a little like this.....

me - "are you practicing a cheer?"
her - "uh-huh" "Do you remember that song it goes dun,dun,dunt,dun,dun,dunt..."
me - "yeha dun,dun, dunt, dun,dun,dunt...everybody dance now!"
her - "I can't remember the name of it but it is like an old song from the 80's"
me - "um-yeha, I think it was more like 1990's"
her - "you know what it is cause it was in your time"
me - "thanks for the reminder"xoxo

She is a sweetheart and I can't wait til Morgan says yeha I'm watching that old movie High School Musical 2 from 2007, the songs are so silly!!

I didn't sign up for this part

My baby girl came down with a case of Roseola in the past few days. It kind of came on last week in disguise she had a low grade fever last Wednesday and I chalked it up as teething. When the temperature did not drop after 3 days I knew it must have been something more serious. Friday was the worst day when she felt just really hot to the touch I gave her a dose of Tylenol and a semi-cool bath and cool jammies and she was very irritable and wanted to sleep. So she slept and I did not because I kept checking on her to make sure she was ok. By Sunday morning she seemed fine and playing and eating pretty good, and no fever so I took her out to the park to enjoy a family reunion (SD did not attend) but it was for his mothers side of the family. While we were there she started to break out in a rash, immediately I thought heat rash, then it was only on her stomach and back. Then I thought maybe she had an allergy so I gave her benadril. The rash did not go away on Monday, so off to the doctor I went. Come to find out all the symptoms point to Roseola! damn it!!
I don't particulary like the part of child raising that includes the sickness and teething and butt wiping massive amounts of poop up the back thank you very much.

Prep-Work

I have been preparing through out the week for "potential visitors" to walk through their "potential new home" (my current home). One night I mopped the kitchen floor and washed the windows of dog snot and baby finger prints. Wednesday morning I was vaccuming at 5:30am, but then again I am always vaccumming because the 90lb dog that has inhabited the house won't stop shedding!! The bathrooms won't be done until tomorrow because it is my least favorite thing to do. To bad K doesn't live closer she could totally love to rock out my bathrooms all three in her new latex gloves. **look at that a pic, she loves to clean and the gloves are HOT!** I am trying to think of what to do with all the baby toys that have been making out like bunnies and multiplied in my house in the past 10 months. Should I organize them in their content corner of the living room with fear that it may look cluttered or go out and purchased a toy box? If you were walking through a house what would detour you from purchasing the home?
I like to think everything in my house is spic and span clean but I am sure there is something someone else sees that I may not have thought about. The yard is not what it used to be and I would love to post an apology sign with pictures of years past and potential that it could be. I just don't have the time to get out with a new baby and pull weeds and plant flowers. So as the time draws near to open the house to stangers I am getting nervous and anxious that just one thing may not be right and be the deciding factor in buying the place or not. Who knows last time we opened the house no-one came by and I busted my ass for nothing, but the first time we had 5 couples. Damn the economy and the housing market it really is a great place for a family, just not a great place for a single mom with no time to keep it up. Wish me luck and send in the buyers!!!

Put a plug in it

Oh HI remember me the girl who used to post several times a week and give you an update livin the life single mom style. Oh good you do remember me, so sorry I have been distant but it doesn't mean I stopped loving you. It is just, well I have another life it is called a job, one that has required way more time than I had to give and one thing had to go(for awhile) but I am hoping there is no hard feelings and we can go on as usual and you can leave me a comment or two just to let me know you are there or here....whatever. So now that we have cleared the air let me tell you what has been up.
The work has been busy and call me Ms. Procrastination I waited one week from the Quality Audit to get everything done from ooohhhh a year ago, and at times I felt my brain might self combust because of the outstanding plugging of information I was trying to get it to process in such a short period of time. I made it through (obviously) with no major or minor incidents, so we can continue as a company that is registered ISO 9001:2000 compliant. Do I hear your clapping?? GREAT! That is what I intended you all to do.
Life in my world of single mom-hood is awesome. My beautiful 10 month old daugther continues to amaze me on her strength to stand on EVERY.THING. and will let go and stand wobbling from side to side with her 5 teeth grin until her tiny legs give out. Not only is standing on everything seem like second nature to her, she crawls as if she knew how to do it all along. One day she just got down on all fours and took off and the rest is history. Although she does not test me on touching things(that are not to be touched with tiny hands), I have warned her a couple times of the danger and you would have thought I took her box of Cheerios away with the wailing and crocodile tears(OH the DRAMA)! But hey someone has to be the bad guy.
My divorce is coming along and have been requested to take part in the SMILE Program with the SD. A whole 2 hours of my life sitting in a room with the SD and being pecked with the importance of parenting time and how to deal with your ex without waving a kitchen knife at his genitals in front of the child, should be time well spent I am sure. After that by October the marriage should be dissolved and life as being single and not having to deal with picking the dirty underwear out of his pants ever again can resume as it once did before.
In other news I have been suckered into playing another game of FaFaRazzi, a game for the mentally challenged in the world of celebrities, so far I am doing great in last place. I have been web trolling planning my big come back but all the juicy people have been taken by other folks on the league and no-one is willing to trade (self-centered bityches)! The game has made me more competitive than I once thought I was, and a little catty.
Speaking of cats, I don't think mine will be bugging me for food at 5:30am anymore while I am trying to load the car and leave for work....as I shut the door of the car the cats tail was in the way....(not to be mistaken as cruelty please) but she acts as if I don't ever feed her she might have deserved it but I did feel pretty bad. I am sure there will be no hard feelings when I return from work and she is begging me again.
I will be holding another open house this weekend(2825 Werner) on Sunday and while I am at church spending a little extra time praying to God to help me SELL the damn thing, maybe you can put out an extra word and a potential buyer so I can move on with my life in a more orderly fashion living closer to work and daycare and you and peace will come over and have a beer on my new patio!!!!! Or maybe you can just pray for me too.
In the meantime I will have to get back to my job and get ready for the State Audit that takes place next week, which I have little to no time to prepare for and do not know what to expect. So wish me luck with that.
I will try to be more prompt in updating this blog, so please stop by again and the lazy whore in me will try and bring pictures next time. I have a whole other story to tell of a tale about 4 woman, a homemade bottle of baileys, and 24 or more cans of beer on a wall, with a boat. Good times, good times. See you soon!!

Monday Brain Buster

"Good Morning (insert company name I work for), how can I help you?"
Man on other end calling from PRIVATE call - "Are you a good girl or bad girl?"
"Who is this?"
"I will tell you if you answer my question first"
perplexed"I am not answering unless you tell me who this is"
"Are you a good girl or bad girl?"
"Look I don't know who this is but it to early for me to play this game, are you calling the right number?"
"Well maybe you can tell me if you wear a thong?"
"Uhhhhh-what?"
obviously he does not know me or he would know that my flabby ass is not wearing a thong!
"I'll tell you who this is if you answer the question"
"Sorry I don't answer those questions unless I am sure I know who I am talking to, I am hanging up now"
"no wait really are you a good girl or bad girl?"
"Have a nice day this is the part where I hang up on you" *click*

Who calls to ask these kinds of things on a Monday at 7:30am? I thought phone sex was only performed on drunk dial, (obviously his weekend is running a little overtime.)

A day like any other

I really want to post a piece about my weekend, but I have been entirely way to busy after work or to lazy to download the pictures from the event. I will leave you on the edge of your seat and let you know you will not be disappointed. Unless you are Lucky's husband and want pictures of our pillow fight in lingerie(which totally did not happen).
Today I bring you work place humor;
Yes those are the tortilla chips from yesterdays Mexican take-out on top of the fridge. Yes that is a mouse! Yes it is the same rubber piece of shit mouse that makes me piss my pants every.freakin.time. one of the boys decides to place it in an inconspicuous spot. Oh they get a kick out of my weaknesses. Nothing is more funny than the time is was strategically placed inside the fridge and when I opened the door it jumped out at me...and me letting out a loud shriek jumping back performing mid-air splits(oh it is possible), bringing the boss to the floor laughing so hard he pissed himself. Oh yeah a good time was had by all.
One time I was the one to pull off the joke not knowing the person I was pranking is more afraid of mice than I am. I simply asked if he would be kind enough to take out some papers to the back and out dropped the mouse sending him into the door and leaping on top of my desk nearly causing him a seizure, and me pissing myself. Now that was FUNNY!
So when I went to open my work e-mail today I got this message;
Just a cheap way to keep a positive spin on things........bunch of f*cking comedians!
We call this work.

Decisions

One of life's biggest decisions............................
Pink or Blue??

Friday, August 3, 2007

The week has been short,

but the weekend I feel will be shorter. As I finally take a breathe to refresh my blog, I want to apologize to all of you who come here daily for a dose of entertainment. I have been very busy with work and as I procastinate the inevidable. I have 10 more days to prepare myself for our quality audit, and then 10 days after that the State decided to audit us at work too. So I really should be spending my time preparing for those two important days but feel putting a smile on your face is more important. After all I want to keep you coming back for more next week when I am hoping to have a little more time or not. Not to mention I have found time to join a celebrity league (yeha that is me girlnxtdoor)where I am totally kicking some ass and found myself talking to much smack, some of you may not come here after all is said and done because you will totally dis-own me and write me off!
No hard feelings it is just a game and if I can win even if it isn't worth any value but to say I won than I will feel I have accomplished something in life.
Considering my chaotic life after work is moving at the speed of light and continues to feel like Groundhog Day over and over again. I have managed to fit in shopping after work this week, a birthday party for my mother in-law, and prepare to run with the cougars this weekend I will leave you with these cute pics I downloaded for the month of July.
My baby is 9 months old that means in 3 months I will be preparing for a 1 year old birthday party that will require more time than I can juggle I am sure. Morgan continues to delight me with her own personality, and reminds me that I don't have to clean up right away after dinner but play on the floor with her and give her endless kisses and nibble on her toes.
Mommy went to the Tigers game and all I got was this empty boomba cup;that still tastes a little like vod-KA;
A makes me yell DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! while waving it in the air!
