The Weekend we were grounded … UGH

Well Cole had that chip thing at school so we dialed back our weekend.  Thursday Cole’s school had a field trip to Micheal’s craft store and I went along, all the chaperone’s got a coupon plus a list of upcoming events.  Ok that is the back story .. lol.

Cole bless him did rather well didn’t bug me while I worked Saturday AM and stayed quiet most of the day Saturday.  Not wanting to punish Caden we hit Michael's for a pumpkin panting Kid Class.  For $5 each I bought a pumpkin and the kids painted and decorated for 2 hours!  Of course I left my camera at home (just like I did for the field trip … ugh).  But I have the after shots … hehe.

Sunday we went to church, which was a little light all the women went to a retreat Friday – Sunday.  Sadly I couldn’t go with work and kids (maybe next year).  But it was a nice day and my Tuesday dinner Friend even came and meet with me.  I was so excited her and her son came along with me, and I think they had a good time and will come again.

After church we took my boys and her son back to Michael’s for a Free event they were having.  Making Bats with your hand prints!  What a cool idea you can do at home for cheap and keep for memory sake!

Rick and I also had our movie date Thursday night which was so great to get out and he even didn’t mind a movie that was faith based (whoo hoo … that is a big deal).  You all know about the mess we came home to but it was nice to be just us.

Rick even got some home improvements done around the house.  I had those UGLY vertical hanging blinds that get so dirty and you always have to straight them to make sure you can open then slide them over.  I made a run to Ross and picked up a new rod and curtains.  It makes the kitchen look very elegant, I’m so excited.  Plus we loved the new blinds we replaced after the dog tore the others that we bought one for our room, the boys room and my office.  They make the house look so much better and not the cheap plastic ones we had before.

Yeah to Date night got my hair done and shoes on !

Home improvements!

Happy Wednesday, we’re almost to the weekend

How the story goes ...

As some of you are aware I've been working crazy the past few days to get two proposals out the door. Usually this isn't a too terribly hard thing to do, but add in two bosses giving you info on it can make it a little crazy. So I'm calm now and can talk about Friday, well I guess Calm is not the word let's go with its Saturday I've had an over dose of coffee and been with the kids all day I think the craziness of them is making Friday look better.

So here it goes Friday by the grace of God and surprising very little begging Rick took all the boys to their destinations for me. I was then able to get to work an hour early which in my world is a HUGE thing. Shortly after getting there was able to meet with one of the bosses and get her project done, finally around 12:30 I was ready to print and go. Thanks to Jana I was able to get a quick bite to eat for lunch (the one and only time I actually left my chair that morning). Back to the office (less then 5 minutes) and on to the next project I was making great time only had a few waiting periods on the other boss. It was looking great UNTIL we had to do some last minute changes (never fails) and the program reverted to a marked up version. So with less then 10 minutes to go I'm typing as fast as I can with 2 people lurking over me, which mind you messes up more then usual. I swear my heart was pounding so fast I thought it might leap out of my body and race to a safe and dark place where it could curl up and maybe rock back and forth. So at 4pm I press send hoping that it got to the person at the 4pm deadline and not 4:01pm ugh!

Now comes the part which is making me freak out and hope that when I come in Monday I still have a job. The two bosses went into a closed door meeting as soon as we were done, yup talk about wanting to swing open a door and plead my case. Instead I packed up for the day and stalk home. I guess I need to be prepared, I take 70% of the blame why this was a rush this time around. I just wish that when one of the bosses told me they would work on their end Tuesday and have it to me Wednesday instead of the Thursday when I got the mark-ups it may have gone much smoother. Hey I guess if I wasn't covering the phones a few of those days that could have helped too. But over all it's my fault with the whole tumor scare, and the moving of the office I lost focus and hopefully I won't pay the price of my job. If only my killer humor and smile could get me out of this one, how I miss those days in school. College a low cut blouse could do the job ... LOL just playing. Well with the lesbian teacher that asked me out they may have worked if I swung that way.

Sorry the humor has dried up today, it will be back tomorrow! I know I'll land on my feet I always do, it's just a tough economy now and it would really suck to have to find a new job. Fingers crossed for me.

If they could this would be the chair I would have worked from. Optimal use of space and easy to chain me to. LOL
