Holy Jiminey Christmas!

As I sit at my desk, doing the "I've really gotta pee but I wanna get this done first" bounce of the leg, I decide I can't wait any longer. I go up stairs to the woman's bathroom that the entire 3 story building shares, and even before I get close enough to insert the key into the lock, I smell the worst bathroom smell ever! Even with how badly I had to pee I was seriously considering waiting until the think molecules of that stench dissipate. But I really had to pee. So in I go, I tried to hurry- but really can you hurry pee? I was a bit thankful that I am a nose breather, cuz I think if I were not I could have tasted that stench. Plus I just lifted the front of my shirt over my nose and smelled the goodness of my lotion, Calogon take me away!

***side note****
I haven't had caffeine in like a week or more, I had a fountain Coke with my lunch and by golly I'm about ready to bounce off the walls. I am like a kid on crack!

Parental Advisory Warning, strong language

Good Gravy!  The drama that happens at my house while I am at work!  Here is an IM conversation Jeff & I had today:

****Warning******
If the F bombs are offensive to you then stop reading right now.  
****************************************************
I said stop reading.  
****************
Okay I warned you.
I will not take responsibility for anyone being offended, you were warned!
***************************************************************
Jeff: (Insert adult neighbors’ names here) kids are to never come over here again and our kids are to never go over there again.
Chellfire: what happened?
Jeff: the bitch come over here and got in Beanie’s  shit over the bike I told Beanie that I wanted back
Chellfire: WTF?!  Beanie didn't give (insert child’s name here) that bike, she let her use it.
Jeff : that is what I told Beanie that she could use it but she could not have it so Beanie told (insert child’s name)that I wanted it back so (insert adult female neighbor here) came over but I didnt know what was going on
Jeff : (insert adult female neighbor here) guess yelled at Beanie then threw the bike down on the concrete
Chellfire: How adult of her!
Jeff : I heard the bike hit the concrete but I didnt think about it until Beanie came in the house crying
Chellfire: can I take her?  Should I go over & beat her up when I get home?
Jeff : no you cant take her
Chellfire: I've never seen her before.
Jeff: that is all that family knows is how to fight
Chellfire: I was joking anyway.
Jeff: she is a tough bitch
Chellfire: I never liked our kids playing with them anyway.
Jeff: I hope they move the fuck away and soon
Chellfire: Based on their history, I don't think they will be there for very long.
Jeff: they are fucking problems and I dont want them around
Jeff: nobody else likes them around here either
Chellfire: are you calmed down now?  Is Beanie okay?
Chellfire: Did the bike get broken?
Jeff: yes we are fine
Jeff : I dont think so
Jeff: what a dumb bitch
Chellfire: yes she is.
Jeff: I will not deal with them again
Chellfire: now you know how I felt when the dumb male version came over & bitched at me.

Is it wrong to sleep at work?

Today is just one of those days when you feel like you left half of your brain in bed. And for me today, that would be the productive half of my brain. All I want to do is sleep or eat, and I am not even hungry. Must be PMS cuz I just want chocolate. But the effort it takes to chew does wake me up, a little bit anyway.

I did get all caught up on Friday, at least as caught up as I can get. Now I am just waiting on my boss to get pictures taken so I can finish up. I am so unmotivated today, it isn't even funny. I would curl up into a ball in the back room if I could get away with it. I have done that once, just once. But this is also the girl that has done other naughty stuff at work before too. But let's not go there today.

Okay, am I compulsive or something? I have noticed I always separate my M&M's by color and then line them up by quantity before I eat them. Then, when I eat them I start with the color that has the most and even them out until I have equal numbers of each color left. I most be very tired if this is what I am rambling about!

Friday night I stayed home, Jeff was supposed to stay home too, but the boys kept calling and they needed a driver, so off he went. I have no idea what time he got home cuz I was so soundly sleeping that I barely moved out of the center of the bed to make room for him.
Saturday was baseball drafts for Lil'Man. He did very well. This year none of the "bad" coaches are coaching so we were not as concerned as to which team he ended up on. We were told of one coach that he will be on the team of and we are quite happy with that. Now let’s just hope we were not told wrong. After drafts we went home and got stuff around to go to Travis' to clean up his new yard. He purchased some land w/ a mobile home on it and the yard & home hasn't been worked on in over 3 years. The prior owner lived in the place for 3 years without running water! I can't believe someone would live like that! Gross! We raked and mowed until it was dark. Thank goodness for the riding mower and it's attachments. I still managed to get a blister on my hand, in that one spot between my thumb and my index finger. It hurts and it's a mean, ugly red spot. Oh well, it will go away soon enough.

Sunday was church. It was Potluck Sunday too! Yum Yum. After the potluck was done we went to my brother and SIL's for youth group. We really didn't have a meeting, we just sat around, talked, picked on the kids, etc til 3. Then we went home where I put the little slaves to work. Hey, they messed up the house; the least they could do is clean it up! Gomer set up the trash can outside to be under Lil'Man's window. All he had to do was open his window and toss stuff out. The idea was the trash would land in the trashcan. I don't think she factored in the breeze. There is some trash in my yard now. Guess they have a job to do when they get home today then huh.

I will have some new pictures to post tomorrow. If my boss brings the camera back tomorrow that is. I took the work camera home over the weekend and Gomer got ahold of it. So I have some of her handy work to post.

It's only Thursday?

Today is one of those days when you just want to tell the people on the other end of the phone “I am only one person, what the hell do you expect?”  I have eleven (yes 11) files in front of me to finish today.  Most of them have more than one policy that needs to be finished.  I understand that the mortgage broker wants the information yesterday, but you just called me yesterday to say you were purchasing a new home, which you are closing on in 5 days.  I can not wave my magic wand and make all of my work finish itself.  I broke my wand trying to get my house to clean itself and trying to get my kids to change to angels!  It’s in the wand repair shop and I don’t think it is ever coming back!  And I can’t twitch my nose to do it either, I bent that all out of shape over the weekend.

The next time you hear from me I WILL have my work caught up.  I hope you hear from me again!

Last night Mel, Sherry & I went to Jenn's spa party. It was fun, relaxing, I booked another party. After the party, which we were 30 minutes late for and Jenn wasn't too happy about but at this point in time I really don't care, once you read about the rest of my night Jenn's state of happiness with me is the least of my concerns.

We left Jenn's around 10pm, Sherry changed her cloths in the front seat of the Durango, her thonged glory was sitting in my leather seats while we pasted a semi truck. I don't think the driver was paying any atttention to us cuz he didn't speed up at all. I changed my shirt while driving too, so for a little while I was driving in my bra. Thank goodness we didn't get pulled over! How do you explain to the police why you are driving to the bar in your bra? We meet up with Jeff, Travis & Duke at one bar and then drove together to another one. We had a really good time. Duke paid for all of our drinks and Jeff was our driver. I had quite a few to drink as evident by the fact that I retrieved a quarter from Sherry's cleavage. She was a driver too so she was stone cold sober! Please keep in mind that I am writing this on 2 1/2 hours of sleep and I have a horrible pain that starts between my shoulder blades and works its way up my neck and shoots straight across my head to my forehead. I don't think I would call it a hang over cuz you would have to be sober to have a hangover and I think I would still at this point fail the breath test. I might get lucky and pass but I am keeping my butt home for a while. Anyway, back to the retelling of last night. All was hunky doory, all was having a blast, we left the bar at closing time and headed back to Newaygo to another car. Sherry then drove Mel home in my truck- as planned, however not planned was that the guys Duke & Travis were still in the truck. Jeff was supposed to drive them home. We got back to my house just before 3 am and that is when the bi-polar express crashed in my living room and the good times left skid marks on my carpet. We fought, he got tackled, a few things got broken (like my mothers tea pot and my drywall and we still can't find the battery to one of the cell phones) but all is better now. Things were talked over, tempers calmed, sex was had and all things are much better. However it was 6:30 by the time all of that had happened. I was awoken this morning by my ringing cell phone and couldn't find it, but now am awake and can not go back to sleep. My game plan is after youth group I am going to take a much needed nap before my shows come one. This morning we still have to go to Fremont to get our kids and then to Grant to get my truck. I let Sherry take it home last night. I think it is going to be awhile before Dan lets Sherry go out with us again. He left a not very nice message on my cell last night around 2 am. She never does anything wrong, she is quite funny when a guy tries to hit on her, she dances around in a circle and tries to hide behind one of us. She might not be able to go out with me again until you get here Jenn. By the way, I need dates of when you are going to be here, in our neck of the woods. I know you said the first 2 weeks of July, but when are you going to be in the Grant area?

Okay, I gotta go. My dog is driving me crazy. She is whining like she needs to go outside but when I let her out all she does is sniff around and then lay down in the sun. Crazy dog!

Welcome Alexis Lynn!!!!

There’s a new baby in town!

Cassie had her baby Monday morning around 9:30. She showed no signs of labor at the shower, not a one. She was rubbing her belly saying she had 25 days at the most left, she was due in 11 days and her doctor wouldn’t let her go more than 2 weeks over. Little did we know she had less than 24 hours! Welcome Alexis Lynn! She is bound to be a beautiful individual. Her momma is very beautiful, both on the outside and on the inside. It’s rare to find a person like that anymore. I’ve never met the daddy, but I have seen his picture, he isn’t bad to look at either. Alexis is destined to have dark hair and olive coloring. Lucky baby! I can’t wait to see her, I love babies. They are so nice to hold and to smell. What I love the most now is that I can hand them back when they get fussy or stinky! I make an awesome aunt! But an even better mom, to my own children. Go here: http://www.spectrum-health.org/default.asp?s=3&nid=E3A70C48FE4D47DA8CDE147E7893D762 and then click on the 13th, then select ALEXIS L to see a picture of the newest little one in the family.

We went to Gomer’s volleyball game last night. It had been rescheduled due to Grant no having school on Monday. It rained so much in such a short amount of time that some of the road in the school district were washed out, so they cancelled school. My niece plays for Grant’s 8th grade team, so we stayed after Gomer’s game to watch her. She didn’t really look like she really wanted to be playing. If the ball came to her & she didn’t have to move her feet to get it, then she would hit the ball. When she hit it, she did a good job. Gomer did a good job, she really likes volleyball. There is a league she could enter after this season is done, I am thinking of signing her up. But she hasn’t told me she wants to play yet. I think it would be a great opportunity for her; it would really help her polish her skills and learn new ones. But if she doesn’t want to join the league I can’t force her.

Lil’Man will be playing baseball soon. I can’t wait for it to start, that means I can cut his hair again! He hates getting his hair cut, so I was letting him grow it out for the winter. His head sweats so much it’s gross. He would wake up in the morning during the summer with a dripping head before I gave him a buzz cut. Now with the shaggy style that is oh so popular with the boys now, he wants to grow it out. I think it is an excuse to not have the clippers touch his head.

Beanie has joined Awana’s at a local church with one of her school friends. I’m all for her learning more about God and going to church. We go every Sunday. But this Awana thing costs money. After visiting for 3 times she is a “member” and has to purchase a vest and a book. That was $16. Then she came home with a paper about some games that they will be doing. This really is a competition with other churches; they are on Saturdays for the next 2 months from 9 to noon thirty. If she were to participate, we would have to give up a lot of things we would otherwise be doing on Saturday mornings. Like the school carnival, being able to go to OK for Spring Break (if I have the money which doesn’t’ look good), going to Gomer’s volleyball invitational, etc..

Oh great…. I just realized that the volleyball invitational and the school carnival are on the same day at the same time. How am I going to do that?

Well I should get back to work.

Did I have time to relax?

Here’s the rundown for my weekend.

Gomer was gone from Friday early evening til Sunday afternoon at a church event.  We traded her for 2 of my brother’s dogs.  That means I had 3 dogs in my house this weekend!  That is a lot of dog!

Friday Night, didn’t do a darn thing other than watched tv, took dogs outside to pee, and cleaned up my house after the kids destroyed it all day during their day off of school.

Saturday AM:
Started my morning out around 7:30 or so when Beanie got up.  She is a bit loud in the morning & doesn’t like to be the only one up.  I got up to get Lil’Man up for baseball camp, he wanted to take a shower before hand.  (The boy hates to take showers so when he asked me to wake him up at 6:30 so he could shower I had to check him for a fever!)  Seeing how his camp didn’t start until 9, I didn’t see why he couldn’t sleep til atleast 8 before he showered.  When he got up, his feet where sore (he has eczema on his feet).  I told him to soak his feet for I could treat them.   While he was getting out the 18 quart foot basin and filling it with warm water, I got the cloths out of the dryer (keep in mind that someone else put these cloths in the washer & then in the dryer).  Apparently someone had forgotten to check their pockets before sending their cloths to get washed.  A blue and a green crayon were left in a pocket.  The inside of my dryer had streaks of green all over it!   I was ticked!  The inside of the dryer was still hot, to that made clean up very easy.  However, the cloths were not as easy to clean.  Most of the stuff ruined was mine, of course.  Gomer did have a nice teal sleeveless ruffled shirt that got the most of the green crayon on the front of it.  My satin lounge pants out the rest of the green crayon.  I wasn’t happy at all!  I quickly got on-line to find a way to get it out.  I found a site that had many people raving about 20 Mule Team Borax and how it got the melted crayon out of their cloths, so I decided to try it.  I had to go to WalMart anyways, might as well pick some of that stuff up.  Well, as I was dealing with the dryer, Lil’Man was trying to get the almost all the way full basin of water down to the living room so he could soak while he watched cartoons.  He sit it on the step to get better hold of it, but he wouldn’t take his eyes off of the tv.  Whoosh!  18 quarts of warm water all over my carpet!  No one could move fast enough to even try to clean up that much water before it settled into the (not so clean) carpet.  Hey, it doesn’t matter if you vacuum everyday, no one has dirtless carpet!  It even was on the spot that the Kirby salesgirl had spent 30 minutes vacuuming just 4 days earlier.   I got out the Little Green Clean Machine, it doesn’t suck very well, to try to get the extra water out.  Now that the water is dried, I have a brown water stain in my oatmeal berber carpet.    Hopefully the carpet will be gone by the end of the week and it will be replaced by hardwood.  

Okay, we’ll skip ahead to 9 am.  Drop Lil’Man off at baseball camp at the high school.  (Let me tell you, the coach- yum yum- I’m wiping the drool from my chin just thinking about him!)  Beanie & I head off to WalMart to get a few things, like a birthday present for my niece, a few little things for my 2nd cousin’s baby shower and some 20 Mule Team Borax to remove the crayons.  I am in need of gas for my truck but figure Fremont always  have cheaper gas than Newaygo so I would fill up there.  Well according to my truck I was 11 mile to empty and Fremont is 10 miles from Newaygo.  I got about 2 miles to Fremont & my truck says I have 0 miles to empty.  I did make it to the gas station only to find that it is 8 cents more per gallon than Newaygo.  Geez!  Hey 8 cents is 8 cents, multiply by 20 gallons.  So I put in $5 and got a whole whopping 2 gallons, but that got me about 20 miles so I filled up in Newaygo when I got home.  I know, I am cheap.   When back in Newaygo we stopped at a friend’s hair salon to say HI and to see if any of my bath salts had sold.  I picked up a few of the salts to add to the baby shower gift and got some money for the ones that did sell.  Then we (Beanie & I) head back home.  We had about an hour before Lil’Man was done with camp.  We got home just in time to see Jeff getting into  Travis’ car to go let the horses out.  (We were also taking care of my brother’s horses while they were gone).  So Beanie & I went with him.  We delivered some gs cookies too.  We got back just in time to pick up Lil’Man and got home to his Grandma waiting for him in the drive.  He and his cousin Nick were going to the Monster Trucks w/ their Uncle Jer.  Beanie & I had just enough time to get changed and go pick up Alex & Ali for the birthday party in Ravenna from 1-4.  The party was fun, my feet and legs were sore by the time we left.  Someone had to skate with the little ones!  

We had Family Fun night at church at 6.  Not very many showed up, a lot of people were out of town this weekend.  We left there around 9ish.  Beanie took a friend with her.

Sunday:
AM church til noon.  Beanie had a gs cookie sale from 12:30-2:30, we had a baby shower at 2.  My grandma picked me up at 1:30, we went & picked up Beanie from the sale then headed to cousin Brenda’s for the shower.  Hey Jenn, guess what baby I got to hold?  She was making eyes at me from across the room, she is so cute!  Little Macy is getting big!  The shower was fun.  Lauri, Kerri, and Angie were there too (dur- that’s how Macy was there!)  I hadn’t seen Joyce in like forever, same with Grandma Coleen.  Aunt JoAnne was there (she is after all the Great Grandma to be!)  It was nice to see everyone again.  We got home around 5, Gomer was dropped off at Brenda’s for me.  I had time to clean my house and finish laundry before my shows started at 7.  So from 7 til I fell asleep it was nothing but relaxing.

I’m hoping to get more time to relax this weekend.  I have a spa party to go to on Saturday and then we are going out afterwards, but otherwise I have nothing planned.

Pre-Whiny Wednesday

I know it’s not Whiny Wednesday yet I NEED a release!  I am going to spend the next minute bitching about my job.  This is not pointed to anyone just general bitching.

I am up to my navel in files.  I left 1.5 hours early yesterday and returned to a mess on my desk.  I now have a ton more to do then when I left yesterday and I took work home with me last night too.  I have a new client that wants things yesterday and I won’t have it until tomorrow at the earliest.  I have 14 new client files that all need something done to them.  I am in need of 8 pictures of new houses that we are now insuring and I am waiting on my boss to get those done.  I have quotes sitting on my desk that need to be done and then call the people back.  I have another appointment for another new client this afternoon, so that is going to add another file to my pile.  It would be very nice if my phone would stop ringing long enough for me to get something done.  I have sales reps stopping in my office all the time, there is only 1 of them that I actually like (Dana) & when she stops in we chat for at least an hour!  Katie, Dana & I are going to have a girls night sometime, soon I hope!   I have the computer guy calling me bitching because he hasn’t been paid yet.  He did the work on the 1st, it’s now the 7th.  BIG DEAL!  I waited over a week for him to come and install the crap and we are still waiting on him to fix his mess up at the other office.  Boss Guy said he would have the check waiting for him at the other office.  Geez, you try to help a friend out by sending work his way and you get crapped on for it.  As soon as this work is done we are finding a new computer guy.  I vote throwing a dart at an open phone book might get us someone better!  Phone’s ringing again. Ok, I’m back- now client file #14 has another policy to be added.  Does my work ever end?!  

I guess I will have to finish later.  I am too busy today to finish now.

Here are the results from that little test:

Rather ExperiencedYou are 58% pure!


I was really worried there for a moment! I thought it was going to come back and say “You did WHAT!!! You sick, sick twisted person!” But I guess there are many, many people out there that are sicker and more twisted that I look pretty darn pure!
