snooze

I can not wait for my work day to be over.  I got a horrible nights sleep due to the wind and rain and I have been dragging all day.  Today was one of those days where everyone gets on my nerves.  I work with one woman, I'll call her Golda, who talks to herself all day.  She literally gives a play by play of what she's doing out loud.  Today she was trying to do something on the computer, It sounded a like this, "I guess I should click on this button.  I don't know why these machines are so hard. that button  there, that's should do the trick"  She then yelled to someone in a different room for instructions on which button precisely to press and then voiced her concern that her actions would "get lost in cyber space".  I thought I was going to scream.  A lot of days I wear my headphones but I just wasn't in the mood today but it was impossible not to get annoyed.  Golda, then called every single member of her family and yakked on the phone for hours about her various health ailments.  I have to give her credit that at 69 she drags her ass to work everyday especially when you do hear all of her health problems, but sometimes I want to tell her to shut the fuck up!!!!  Right now she trying to get another coworker to share jello with her.  I am not in the mood today.  I still have a cold and hubs is working late tonight which means I get wrestle that little alligator of a child into pajamas by myself.  He is generally the sweetest little boy until bedtime.  You would think that his pajamas were made of shards of glass the way he fights.  I have to sing the abc's the whole time,  to get him just docile enough to put his arms and legs in.  Once there zipped up, he's fine, like nothing happened and I'm left exhausted and sweating, looking like Randy "MachoMan" Savage:



quiet

I hate having to title each post.  That being said I am hoping for a quiet weekend.  This week seemed to drag and I've started a new habit that isn't helping.  Every morning this week Boy has been waking up at about 5:45.  I've been giving him a bottle and letting him lay in our bed where he eventually falls asleep.  Then when our alarm goes off at 6:45, it's all but impossible to get up.  I just want to stay snuggled up.  Plus, I always find short week drag on.
This week at work we had an "International Day" party to honor Martin Luther King Jr..   Not really sure what baked ziti has to do with his legacy, but what do I know.  I go back and forth on these office parties.  There are always the people that go crazy and make a ton of food and spend a ton of money and then the people who bring a bag of chips.  And the people that overextend themselves always take issue with those who don't, even if it's the majority.  How much cake can people eat anyway?  I never like to eat any of the stuff and it's usually on a bad day for me to make anything the night before, so I usually pick up cookies.  The last time I made myself nuts trying to find good cookies and nobody ate any of them, so I've stopped caring.  This time around I tried to be a good sport and agreed to make a dish.  I'm Polish, I bought kielbasa.  When I came into work Tuesday and realized that most of the food was sitting out from 7:30 am until noon when the party started, I knew I wouldn't be eating any of it.  I have a lot of food issues and I was already hesitant to eat food that people had made but once I realized that it was unrefrigerated for that length of time then put on a sterno, I knew I'd pass.  I heated my dish up in the microwave right before the party but since there was barely any room due to the gigantic sterno, my stuff got put on top of the coffee pot, out of the way.  It only ended up reinforcing how I do not like participating in these functions.  Just leave me alone to eat my stupid PB&J in peace.

half day

Excited to take a half day today.  The hubs and I have been talking about it months and we're finally taking the day and going out to lunch to eat and have a few drinks by ourselves.  Enjoy a little couple time.  It's so easy to get caught up in our new role as parents and forget to give each other the time that we need.  I admit that sometimes it does make me feel guilty leaving Boy at day care and having fun without him.  He's so easy going that it's not a big deal going to restaurants with him, but we definitely do need more time alone.  We don't leave him with babysitters often because he is in daycare all week so I am hesitant to not spend all the available time we have together on the weekends.  Plus, he's hard work and we have few people I would be comfortable leaving him with.  My parents have watched him a handful of times and it's always nerve racking.  A few weeks ago day care was closed for a holiday that we didn't get and we worked it out that I would work a half day in the am and Hubs would do the afternoon.  My parents only needed to watch him for 2 hours in the middle.  A time period that she have been filled mostly by lunch and napping.  When I got home I found that he barely ate lunch and was awake.  They thought he looked too tired to eat so they stopped feeding him and tried to put him down for nap.  After rocking him for 20 minutes, he eventually did fall asleep but my father insisted on holding him instead of putting him in the crib so when my mom's cell phone rang he woke up and was wide awake because he probably couldn't what the hell was going on. It didn't help that the baby farted and my dad freaked out at the possibility of a diaper change.  It's always nice to come home to two adults standing over a hungry, overtired toddler trying to figure out if he pooped.  Sniff his butt, that's what I do.

Day-O

My day so far in a nut shell
Boy up at 5:30 AM, he's learned to turn his light on, so they're no getting him to settle back down on his own.  Despite previous promises not to, we brought him in the bed to play.  By play I mean kick and bite us while laughing.  Shockingly he did fall back asleep, 5 minutes before our alarm went off, so we stayed in bed a little longer enjoy the quiet "we" time.
Shower, dress, make lunch, daycare drop off, drive to work
It smells a a home perm in here today
The woman who sits in front of me has been youtubing old newscasts from the Sandy Hook School shooting at full volume all day.  Most of them are eyewitness testimonies. I kept trying to block it out because it's was such a horrible event, I didn't think any  one would want to relive it.
I finally tracked done a flu shot at lunch.  The woman in front of me at the CVS had a flattened dreadlock down her back that was bound with plastic zip ties.  I almost throw up in my mouth imagining what it smelled like.
I ate a delicious glazed donut!!!!!!
