Awful Day

Have you ever had one of those days that started off on the wrong foot and went down hill from there? Today was one of those awful days. I've been working 4 -10 hour days through the summer so that I can take off on Fridays. This morning due to a unwilling child and no enthusiasm I didn't make it to the office until 7:30. Then when I signed in to my computer all of my folders and documents had been removed and I couldn't get to my work email.
I have to give a little background on the next thing that happened, only because I need to vent! The school district that we live in is a "choice of school" district. Meaning, you can choose which ever school in the district for your child to go to and it doesn't have to be the one closest to your house. The down side is that although your child attends that school for one school year it doesn't guarantee them a spot at the same school the next year. When deciding who is going to which school they first take the kids that live closest to the school and then meet the racial quotas and then if there is room your child can return. Well this happened to us. Baby Girl went to one school last year and we ordered the school supplies for this year from that school. Then we found out that she couldn't get back in that school for the upcoming school year and they wouldn't refund the money paid on the school supplies. I talked to the PTA Person that is over the school supplies a couple weeks ago and she assured me that I would be able to pick up the supplies this morning in time for meet the teacher tonight at the new school. Sis went to pick up the supplies this morning and they weren't ready. I FINALLY got in touch with the PTA lady at 3:05 and she told me the supplies were ready but that I needed to be there by 4:00 in order to pick them up. I run out of work and head to the school and then I get behind a "wide load" truck taking up all 3 lanes of the road... Time is ticking! I finally get to the school, run in and grab the supplies and run out the door. On down the road (and after 4:00) I realize that they gave me supplies for a 3rd grader, which would have been fine except baby girl is going in to first grade! I ran to wal-mart and grabbed all of the supplies except the forbidden supply that no-one ever has (writing tablets). I finally found them at Dollar General and we go to the school where it felt like the air wasn't on and there were 25000 (exaggeration) people there! Finally, on my way home. Grab some dinner at sonic (so much for the diet) post this blog and off to bed! And they still don't have my computer fixed at work. Since I only worked 7.5 hours today I'll be at work until late late tomorrow night if I still want to take off on Friday.. What a mess and really trivial in the whole scheme of things. Actually seeing it all written out makes me realize a lot of folks have it a lot worse and don't complain near as much. Maybe I need to work on that (and the diet). Well, I better go.. Have a great evening and tomorrow will be a better day!

Monday Again!!!

Do you ever feel like time moves faster on the weekends than it does during the week? Seems like we are just got up on Saturday Morning and all of a sudden it's Monday again... Kinda sucks! We had a good weekend. No wrecks, baby girl went to the dentist on Friday and didn't have any cavities AND she learned how to tie her own shoes.. I went to the big JcPenney sell to get the kid some school clothes and all they had was winter stuff and a bunch of brown. I don't know about all of you but when it's 110 degrees outside I just can't bring myself to buy long sleeve shirts and sweat pants. So I didn't buy much of anything. I also finally got a picture of baby girls hair and cheer uniform. Isn't she the cutest cheerleader you have ever seen! I guess I have a pretty boring life, that's all the news I have right now. I hope everyone has a great day! Oh yeah, one more thing.. Happy Birthday JCD. I forgot to mail your card, but I'll put it in the mail at work today..

Why Not

Well the weekend came and went and I didn't get everything accomplished that I had hoped. It was a good weekend despite all that. On Saturday we went and saw Talledega Nights. It was pretty funny... but for those of you that have elementary kids I wouldn't recommend taking them along. Baby girl has cheer camp this week and weekend and my niece and nephews may be coming over saturday, so it's going to be another busy weekend. I wrecked my car on Friday and have been dealing with insurance adjusters the last two days. NO FUN! especially since the wreck was my fault... I backed into another car (I know sis, I have to work on using the reverse!) Anyhow, I better get back to work. Everyone have a great day

First Post

I thought I'd give this blog thing a try. On one hand, it's seems kinda silly publishing your journal on the internet, but on the other hand it might be much easier than actually remembering to write in the journal! So yesterday was a long day. I had 3 doctors appointments and then took my daughter to get all of her hair cut off. I really didn't want to, but it was the best thing. Now she can actually brush it herself. I know I'm being selfish, but I REALLY liked her hair being long and now she looks so much older than she really is! I've been running for months with gma and gpa moving to a new place, cheer practice starting, vacation, business travel that hopefully today I can stay home and get some stuff done around here. (wishful thinking I'm sure!) Well, I better go and see if I can finish getting this blog thing set up so I can move on to other projects. Have a great weekend!
