Have A Great Rest of Your Day

Kailani from The Pink Diary. Some of you are probably already familiar with this funny lady and her blog. I’m a frequent visitor for Thursday Thirteen and Battle of the Blogs. I love her layout, because I really like pink, I just can’t look at it on my own blog!

Go check her out and while you’re there see if you can help her find an extra “lovey” for her little girl from Target. The hunt is on, maybe you can help!

Kathryn ran a fever all day yesterday, was miserable and very clingy. Gave her a couple of cool baths, some Tylenol and several naps. Had a really hard time getting her to bed last night, but she finally crashed. This morning she got up and the fever is totally gone and she’s happy as can be. My child is some sort of a mutant, that is one of the oddest things I’ve ever seen.

Back to the title of this post. My MIL took us out for a Chinese lunch today. I know sometimes she even surprises me. Just kidding, she is great for the most part and it was really nice of her to do.

Here are our fortunes.
Mine ~ you will soon have the opportunity to improve your finances.
Johns ~ you are a practical person with your feet on the ground.
Kathryn ~ you are a beautiful child who will cause no trouble during your teenage years.

Okay, okay, Kathryn’s didn’t really say that. I can’t find hers now, it said something about creative ideas, but I thought this one was better. So I’m going to become rich and John is practical. First off being rich, I just don’t know about that. Second, my husband is NOT a practical person. Never has been, never will be.

Kathryn has diarrhea again this morning, she woke up much earlier than usual and it was so bad that I just put her in the shower with me. When we got out she was crying and shivering so I wrapped her up in a blanket and laid her on our bed. She was asleep within 2 minutes. I’m getting kind of frustrated because I don’t know what keeps causing this.

I talked to Miss L. (our childcare gal) and asked if she ate anything out of the norm yesterday. The only thing she could come up with is Macaroni and Cheese, which has milk in it and Katy is lactose-intolerant. The other thing she had was grapes. I’m thinking it was the Mac and Cheese, but Miss A. (the other lady) seemed convinced that it was the grapes she had for snack. I just love it when someone else knows more about your child than you do!

The week before last when she got really bad diarrhea it was after having some yogurt that my FIL gave her, also milk in it. I’m seeing some sort of a connection, I think. Seriously though I’m baffled as to what it could be. She has no fever, no running nose, no coughing, no other symptoms whatsoever. What the heck is causing this?

John and I also got into a fight this morning over something stupid. I hate fighting period, but I really hate fighting about dumb stuff.

He says that this morning when the Boddler (my new term for Katy) started crying he was trying to coax me out of bed to go get her. (I AM NOT A MORNING PERSON, I CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE THINGS I SAY WHEN FIRST WOKEN UP!) That being said let me proceed.

Where was I? Oh yes, he was trying to get my butt out of bed. Apparently I rolled over and told him “stop being such a jackass, if you’re so worried about it, you go check on her” promptly rolled back over and went back to sleep. WTH – I don’t remember ANY of this.

He gets up and I’m in the shower with Kathryn trying to get her cleaned up and get my hair washed. He proceeds on this 10 minute rant about how I ruined his morning and how I don’t need to be so snappy with him and how he has to work two jobs and how he’s more tired than he is and how he has more responsibilities than I do and how it’s harder for him being a guy and how he’s sex deprived and how on and on and on and on!

My response was (remember that I don’t know/remember what I did to him) “get over it you big baby, everyone has to do things they don’t want to do. Grow up about it! By the way, did you get on the wrong side of the bed this morning or what?”

Well apparently that was not the correct thing to say! It all went downhill from there. The fight ended with me screaming “I don’t know what I’ve done to you so get the heck off it!”

He then explained to me what had happened. Well, geez buddy. It sure would have been nice to know this before you started yelling at me about every little thing. “Excuse me for not remembering what I said in MY SLEEP!”

All this before 8:30 this morning. Yeah my day is starting off just lovely. How about yours?

Don’t forget to guess when Kathryn will walk on her own. There will be some type of a prize, not sure what yet, but there will be one. In fact leave suggestions for the prize along with your guesses.

Guessing will end Thursday July 27 at midnight. Also please leave an actual date, not something like 2 weeks, or 10 days. I need dates, k thanks!

Remember how my husband was off of work last week and I was supposed to be off with him? Maybe not, I can’t remember if I wrote about it.

Anywho, my husband had last week off and I was supposed to be with him. In light of the current job situation and my old boss being a putz, I didn’t get that week off.

I just found out today that I will officially be done on the 31st of July.

I’m not supposed to start my new job until the 15th of August. So guess who gets to stay home for almost 2 weeks and do nothing? ME, all by my freakin’ self while my husband is at work. This whole summer vacation thing sucks! The worst part is that originally I was supposed to get PAID for that week off. Now I get nothing, just the pleasure of being home! Woopee freakin’ doo!

Thirteen things that have happened, been done or realized in the past week.

1. I have a new job! yippee
2. I start this new job in 14 days
3. I would like to have those 14 days at home by myself
4. This is not feasable as I need to stay at the current job as long as possible
5. If I don’t stay, I will not have as much money and that is never a good thing
6. I have slept better the past 5 days then I have the past 5 weeks
7. Except for last night, because my wacko cat Fido felt she needed to sleep on my head, chest or throat all night. I never woke fully enough to push her off, I just kept waking up and adjusting her!
8. My baby took her first steps (don’t forget to guess on what day she will walk on her own)
9. John is back to work this week and Kathryn has been a handful at daycare and home. I think she got too much spoiling last week with dad at home.
10. I had to clean out my fridge and found something really gross that was so hairy I’m not sure what it used to be
11. I got a new rubbermaid drawer/storage thing on wheels so I can finally finish organizing my scrappin stuff and it will be out of the way
12. Found out we have conflicting schedules next weekend. John commited us to go to something with his family, while I commited him to do something with my family. We have yet to resolve the issue. I will win however, because a wedding reception is more important than a picnic!
13. I was comparing pictures yesterday of when we first got engaged to a recent photo and have decided that I could not fit into my wedding dress. Not that I want to, but if I did I’m convinced it wouldn’t fit.
14. bonus: I need to be more strict with my diet and exercise.

NO COMMENTS NECCESARY, thanks for stopping by!

I have been meaning to do this for a while and for some reason it just keeps getting pushed farther and farther back.

I need to extend a very wonderful and generous thank you to Jane loves Tarzan. I stumbled across her blog one day on BE and she was giving away books for FREE. I’m an avid reader and would never pass this up, but wondered what the catch was. There was no catch. She had a bunch of books that she was done with and graciously decided to pass them along. She even paid the shipping. I got my package about 2 weeks ago and have since devoured 2 of them and am about 1/2 way through the third.

Thanks again Jane loves Tarzan, what a wonderfully delicious thing to do. Especially because I’d never been to your blog and have only been back once or twice since!

Go check out Yandy, they have some yummy, yummy items at really great prices. Bug at An Indian Summer is doing the upcoming Blogathon and this wonderful company has agreed to donate $15.00 for each post that gives a review. What a great and generous thing for them to do. All the money is going to the American Cancer Society. This is something that is very near and dear to my heart. We just lost my great grandmother to cancer this spring.

Back to the actual review. Yandy has great prices, styles and selection. I sometimes have a hard time finding lingerie, because of my large bust, but not a problem here folks! They’ve got something for everybody! Go check them out, for yourself, for your man, for a great cause.

I really love their mesh halter wrap dress, it’s sexy and really pretty. They have many other great finds and I think for John’s birthday we will be hitting this site and getting something for the both of us. Go check em’ out you know you wanna!

Why do some people women and men alike, feel they need to bathe in their chosen JC Penney perfume counter scent?

I have a terrible sensitivity to some perfumes and have to be careful about what I wear myself. More often than not I just go without.

I am now sharing office space and the chick across the hall is smelling strong, strong, strong. She is super nice and I really like her. How do I tactfully say “your stank of roses or whatever the hell it is, gives me a headache. Could you tone it down a bit?”

yiiiiiiiiiipppppppeeeeeee! Woooooooooohhhoooooooooo!

I have a job! na, na, na, na, na, gonna have a good time!

I start my job on the 15th of August. The best thing is that I’m in the same office, doing the same thing, just for someone else. Getting paid the same thing, but with bonuses starting in January. Woot, woot!

I’m so relieved, John is so relieved, our families are so relieved. All it good and right in the world.

I was never worried about it anyway, I always knew I would find something. YEAH RIGHT. I was terrified that I wasn’t going to be able to find something, after all I only had 7 days left. I was having nightmares that we would have to give Kathryn to my parents because we wouldn’t be able to take care of her. I was losing major sleep! Last night I slept like a exhausted new mom who for the first time had her mother take the baby so she could sleep! It was pure joy!

Now we won’t have to sell our house and live in that nice one bedroom cardboard box that just came available in the back alley last week. Excuse me while I go do the mega dance of joy, I’ll be back later.
