Party Day At Work

Guess what?  I overslept.  I was going to get up at 10, but I slept until 12Pm.  Ooops.  Not that I had plans, but I was trying to get up early.  Today is party day at work.  We have the Spring party for the residents and then of course coffee house tonight.  Thank goodness I am working a double just so I can get through the paper work without being rushed.  I love parties for the residents.  I get to see all the guys and gals from other homes that I rarely get to see.  That and staff from other homes that I have had the pleasure of working with.  The best part is how happy and excited my guys are.  Especially if we do both parties which is tough on me, but the love it.  Then they come home tired, but happy and crawl into their little beds and sleep like the dead until I wake them up to use the restroom. 
So hope you all have a great day and everything is good in your lives!  Take Care!

Can You Hear the Rocks Rattle?

I’m having one of those weekends.  A little bit of good, a little bit of bad and just enough love to make it ok.
It started when my screen died on my phone and I had to get a new one.  Many managers only text with open shifts so if you don’t get texts your fucked out of the overtime.  So I got that.
Then I got to go up to my mom and dad’s for dinner, a card game and some nail work.  Which is always the best part of my weekend.  Having someone to laugh with and to see the face of someone different then just my husband every weekend is great.  Momma made me tuna noodle and everybody else had salmon loaf.  Momma and I lost at cards, but at least we did it with style and flying a limited amounts of “the bird” around the table.  Then my folks let us have some frozen goodies because money has been REAL tight.  I hoped by 36 I wouldn’t have to say Mom and Dad could you help me out, but I know they would rather me speak up then get sick.  Hypoglycemics need protein like crazy.  So thanks Mom and Dad.
Then this morning I found out that the new number I got with my new phone is already being used by someone else and she has been getting my phone calls and texts.  So I had to go back to the store and get a new number.  Which you bet your ass I tried at the store.
Then to the pet store, then to Rite-aid with ad and coupons in hand.  Then a cool thing happened there.  The manager of the stores clips out coupons on products that they carry in the store and tapes the coupon to the product so people can use them.  So I got one shampoo and two conditioners for $2.80.  That is so cool.  So when I left I had spent about $26.00 and saved $8.50 in coupons and buy one get one free offers.
So with about $60 left we went Aldis to get much needed items like vegetables, bread, milk and you know the must haves for two weeks.  I have in my pocket .25 and I’m okay with that.
But now I am ready for bed.  Because shopping with my husband drains me.  We shop different, we bag groceries different, we drive different and we unload groceries different so we get on each others nerves.  I have to be at work at 11PM so I’m going to nap.  Take Care!
Hope your weekend was great!

Not Sure What This Is

I’m still in my nightgown so that tells you what kind of mood I’m in.  You know what fuck this.  This is how I am feeling right now.  Doctors who schedule 4 people for the same half hour appointment should be killed.  That means sitting for more then an hour if everybody shows up.  And that is twice as much fun while sitting with special needs clients.  I think I need a computer room that way one person can watch TV while the other person dicks around on the computer.  I hate having hair on my face and I hate those stray ones that get seventeen feet long before I can pull it!  I hate sitting I want to be doing something.  Something that shows I’m on this planet.  I hate the fact that I want to punch something more then I want to hug something.  I don’t understand why people are afraid to be themselves when all they are doing is hiding.  Be yourself, share your life.  Who gives a fuck if somebody doesn’t like you.  Don’t call me to catch up and talk only about your life.  Catching up means exchanging information. Trust me if that’s not what you want to do I won’t be answering my phone.  And for crying out loud don’t try to convince me everything is wonderful in your life if you don’t believe it yourself.  I am way to smart and I read body language far to well for that to work.  If things are shit feel free to say so.  I’ll listen because you know I will tell you the truth when you ask me.  I will try to be a supportive friend as much as possible, but there are times when even I have trouble doing that.  Especially when being supportive to you is ripping my heart out.  So take what I can give in those situations sometimes it’s all I’ve got.  Okay Now I feel better!

Today I’m Gonna…

Good Morning!  Welcome to another day!  I have been up about a half hour.  I let the dog out to go to the restroom, I have gathered up my dirty clothes and started my first load, took my pills and now I am visiting for a few seconds with you.  Then the plan is to empty the dish washer, wash the big bowls by hand, transfer the clothes and start the next load.  After that some finishing touches on my rewritten resume and I will print a couple of those.  Then I’m going to fold the clothes.  By that time the knee should be bothering me enough to lay down for about an hour before work.  Then I will get up, get ready for a 16 hour work day and being able to spend time with my special guys at coffee house!  A pretty damn good life!  How about U? 

7:49AM and…

I’ve just taken my pain pill and I’m waiting for that to kick in so I can go to bed.  All just seems right.  I thought that as I was driving home this morning.  I looked at the clock and the sunrise and said to myself this is so right.  On my way home.  My work day done and going home for some sleep.  I am truly a night person.  So I sit and type a few minutes before I brush my teeth, wash my face and crawl into bed.  The knee is throbbing, but soon the meds will allow it to be a dull pain.  And soon I will close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
I wonder if today I will dream about the log cabin again?  Or will I dream of the strong arms wrapped around my waist and were dancing as if I weigh nothing at all.  As long as it’s not the teeth falling out of my mouth dream, I have that one when I am really stressed.  Know what my favorite dreams are?  The ones where I wake up and know I had a dream, but I can’t remember it.  BUT I know it was good because I’m at peace and I woke up with a smile I like to think of those a surprises waiting to happen that I get a little sneak peek of when I sleep, but haven’t happened yet What was the saying?  “Sleep per chance to dream”  something like that.  Good day all and sweet dreams!.

Even Miss Potty Mouth Believes In Something!

I went to church today.  I don’t think I have been since my other mother past away.  I woke up this morning, looked at the clock and said it’s 9:30AM I think I’ll go to church.  Why today?  I have no idea.  It just seemed right.  So I walked in and sat down.  I saw plenty of people who I knew “way back when”.  One guy who I used to be buds with waved hello.  I’m sure if I would stuck around after I would have met with more people.  But that wasn’t why I went.  So I ducked out before the final hymn was sung.  But the sermon was about being the better person.  When somebody is being an asshole, not being an asshole back.  And in truth I think I just needed the reminder.  When somebody attacks me or something that I am doing my first response is attack back.  But I need to remember people are dealing with their own shit and I don’t need to take it personal.  If I am secure in what I am doing and why I am doing it then that is all that matters.  Did I need to go to church for that?  I have no idea.  But I knew that was where I was supposed to be this morning.  And to be honest I think I had a better day for it. 

I don’t talk to much about religion or about what I believe.I live by the philosophy that each individual is entitled to their own belief and I will never force another to my beliefs.  But in case you wonder I believe in God and the best description of my status is a non denominational Christian.  So there u have it, see even Miss Potty Mouth believes in something!

Saturday Morning I Want!

Good Saturday Morning!!  Well my friends I am having one of those moody PMS days.  I woke up cranky as shit, now I feel happy and give me about 5 minutes I’ll want to kill everyone.  I love days like today.  I am Mrs. Personality.  Okay that is some sarcasm there, but I’m trying not to be a total bitch today and that is just plain hard.
As you ladies know when you have PMS you want stuff.  And today I want stuff!  And I want it now!!!  I want a steak, medium rare.  I want a fudge brownie bowl from DQ.  I want a Captain Morgan and Pepsi.  AND I want some Midol!  I want hot shower, clean jammies and I romantic comedy novel.  I want it all Damn IT and I want IT NOW!!!!  I want somebody to rub my back and not talk at all while doing it!  I want to smell cinnamon rolls baking.  I want nipples that aren’t sore and I want feet that aren’t swollen.
I WANT to not feel like a mostly puffed up cry baby.  And I want NO NOISE in the house!!  Since Most of that isn’t possible I think I will take a shower, slide into some clean jammies and go back to bed.  I’ll talk to you later!!!

Hooray and Crap!!

Today has been a pretty good day.  I got up and went to class.  I got a 100% in CPR and I missed one in First Aid.  I knew it, I just mark the wrong circle.  So I did well.  Then on my way home I’m thinking about the fact that I am hungry and what should I have for dinner.  I get not even a mile from my home and hit a seat belt check area and guess what folks?  Yep.  I forgot my seat belt.  BUSTED.  So I get pulled over.  I have my license and registration on me, but I could not find my insurance papers.  CRAP!  So my friendly officer comes back with my ticket.  Cited for no seat belt and no insurance, but the officer says I can get a court appointment and bring proof of my insurance and that one can be removed.  CRAP.  Serves me right.  I wasn’t wearing a seat belt, I am insured, but I didn’t have my papers all together like I should have.  So I will go to court and pay my fine.  My stupidity lead to me paying out more money that I don’t have. The bitch of it is I wear my seat belt 95% of the time.  I just have to work on the other 5%! CRAP!  So I am happy about class, but fell stupid about the ticket!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Happy St. Patrick”s Day!  If you’re a drinker be careful and drive safe.  If you’re a eater make sure the green on the food isn’t mold.  And if you’re a pincher watch where you grab.  All people aren’t as friendly as me!

Working On Me

Okay I have been racking my little brain for what so say today.  So hmm…I have toothpaste on my face.  I have three run away zits that need to be gone and when I was a kid I used to put toothpaste on them to dry out.  So I figured what the heck.  So hopefully by the time I return to work on Friday they will be gone.

As you all know I am trying to improve my self esteem and take better care of myself.  I started painting my nails and I would get so pissed because it would chip.  David said most women do touch ups ( David has three sisters). And I thought DUH that makes tons of sense!!  So I have been touching up.  So this is Mercury Rising and I like it.

I love brown colors the most.  ButI Reds are cool too.  But since my hands are kind of pink it looks a little weird.
I also got some perfume, but it’s not as good as what I normally wear, but it does the trick.  It’s called Champagne and Strawberries.  I guess by the name people who smell me should want to drink me in or eat me.  I could live with that!  LOL!

Have I mentioned I want to learn to do the Hustle?  The dance I mean.  I never did get that down pat and I would love to be able to get up and do it at whatever event it is being done, sober or not.  Can you Hustle?  What other dances should I learn?
