Bummer

The weekend is over already.  It went way too quick.  Gotta work at 5:00 AM tomorrow.  On the up side, that means that I'll be off work at 1:30.  I'll have a quiet house for a few hours before the kids get home from school.  I love that! Anyways, hope everyone had a fabulous weekend.  :)

Tattoos

I've been looking at a lot of tattoo art the last couple of months, trying to find something I like enough to permanently embed it into my skin.  So far I haven't found anything that I can't live without, but I have come across some pretty cool stuff.

wow

I've just realized how depressing all my posts are on here.  Guess if I'm going to have a blog, I should try to be a little more upbeat.  It's too early in the morning for upbeat, though.  I'm gonna need a lot more coffee and a hot shower to inject any sort of cheerfulness at all.  Wish the coffee would brew faster.  I need a coffeepot with a timer so it can be ready when I wake up.  Aha, I think it's ready.  I hear it making that gurgling noise that it makes when it's just about finished.  Mmmmm, that's good.  Now for the hot shower.  :)

One hell of a day

Not really sure where to start this post.  I got up this morning at 1:30 AM after about 3 1/2 hours of sleep.  I had a few projects going on at work & I wanted to get them done.  It also was my kids first day of school for the year, so I wanted to be home to help them get ready.  The first day of school is always the most important to a kid. I took my lunch break around 7 AM & got my kids off to school, then went back to work at about 9:00.  At about 11:15 my cell phone rings.  I was working, so I didn't answer it, but I looked at it to see who it was.  It's my sister-in-law.  This is a bit unusual, but I didn't really think much of it.  About 5 minutes later, there is a page on the store intercom for me to take a customer call.  I pick up the phone & it's my nephew.  He tells me that my mother-in-law has passed away. Being over-tired & stressed & caught completely off guard, I lost my composure a bit.  I think I might have said a few swear words in front of some customers, but I don't know for sure.  Hopefully they didn't complain to my supervisor.  Anyways, I left the store as quickly as I possibly could, then drove to my MIL's house.  My father-in-law was a complete wreck when I got there .  He was all upset because he was in the living room drinking coffee & thought she was sleeping.  He's completely convinced that if he had been there, he coud've saved her.  She died in her sleep. According to the coroner, it was most likely a sudden massive coronary episode. There was nothing anyone could have done.  I spent a good portion of my day trying to convince my FIL of this, but I'm fairly certain he still thinks that it was all his fault.  I really hate situations like this, when there is absolutely nothing I can do do make someone feel better.  I never know the right things to say.
My husband took it pretty hard, too.  He's spending the night over there, with some other family members.  I had to come home because the kids have school in the morning.  I thought about keeping them home, but I figure school is probably a better environment for them to be in right now.  Anyways, thats about it on my day from hell.  Glad it's over.  I really need to get some sleep, cuz I think my brain turned off several hours ago.

My weekend

Sorry, didn't mean to disappear again.  I spent the day in Olympia with my sister yesterday. She lives in Portland, so it's about an hour drive for me & 1 1/2 for her.  We got our hair done & had dinner. It was very nice.  I didn't get home till pretty late, though.
Today I've been trying to catch up on the housework that didn't get done yesterday.  Gotta do laundry so I have clean clothes for work tomorrow. Hope everyone else is having a good weekend!  :)

Woohoo!!

It's finally the weekend!! I managed to make it through another week. Now if only I could make the weekend last a little longer... :-)

So I really don't have much to say today.  It was just another day.  Got up, showered, got dressed, went to work, ran my butt off for 7 hours & then came home.  I only have 7 hour shifts this week because my employers are cutting hours in order to control labor expenses.  Of course I can't even manage to get everything they expect of me done in an 8 hour shift, much less 7.  Gotta give it a shot, though.

I don't feel like cooking tonight, so I ordered teriyaki chicken from the place down the street.  They make excellent teriyaki.  Anyways, I'm going to go pick up dinner.
