5月31日 Murphy's LawWell, Memorial Day weekend came and went. This will be short since this is the second time I have written this. The first time it disappeared, all but the first sentence *poof*. All went well, the family reunion, the lawn sale, the surprise birthday party for my dad. Sunday my hubby and I moved shrubs, getting ready to put the stockade fence up between us and the 2 pitbulls that live behind us. We planted tomatoes in hay bales and planted radishes, beets, pickling cukes, cilantro and basil in our raised beds.
We slept good that night.
Woke up Monday, hopped into a luke warm shower. Apparently our hot water heather went kaput. Thank goodness it was under warrenty. We picked up Tiger at my parents and were off sighseeing up north. We saw no moose, only a deer and alot of road kill. We were home early and I got caught up on some much needed housework.
Tuesday, when I brought Tiger to the new sitter that she LOVES and we were so lucky to find, she told us that this would be the last week she could take Tiger. This is only the second week. I asked if she was too much to handle or just being a bad girl. She told me that she just wanted to get some things done this summer before she took to watching her grandaughter full time. I told her ok. I understand when all the while the is a knot in my stomach and I have all I can do not to cry. So I am back trying to figure out how I am going to do this. I can bring her here anytime I need to but she is at the point where she wants to be into everything and I would get nothing done. So this is where I am at right now. I will be glad when school lets out and my niece can come over and watch her at least 2 days a week.
My husband is looking for a new job, after being a loyal and hardworking employee for this company for 13 years and I am still waiting for a contract here....
Life goes on. 5月24日 The housework will just have to wait!Well I found someone to watch Tiger for the few days a week that her Grammy is now working. She is the mother - in - law of a man that works with my husband. He also used to work at our tavern. He and his wife just had a baby 2 weeks ago and the mother has moved in to help and insisted that I bring Tiger over for a "trial run". Tiger loves it. She loves seeing the new baby and all the playing and attention she is getting is wonderful. They have a little dog that she follows around and giggles nonstop at. I feel SOOO much better. My poor mother is having serious baby withdrawls. She stopped in last night with a gift certificate to my favorite restaraunt and said " here, you and Marc go out to dinner tomorrow and bring the baby over to our house for the evening". That, I could tell, was an order.
So as soon as the Heritage House opens for business, I will be on the horn making a reservation!
I notice many bloggers talking about their work. I will tell you that my job is fairly boring. I am an office manager for a local union. I answer phones, file, fax, type, take booking for the hall and conference room. I also take care of the A&S insurance for about 450 members as well as collect Union dues from 501 union members weekly. I prepare the end of year tax returns also. Of course other stuff comes up day to day. At least one day a month the entire ( all 11) executive board meets to discuss financials and other matters before the monthy union meeting. I run my ass off that day. It is important to them that I know that they are ALL my bosses. There is one woman amongst the 11 men. She is very fake nice. She is also sleeping with the vice president, this is common knowledge, except his wife doesn't know. He has been saying since the day I met him in 1998 that as soon as his kids were out of the house he was leaving. Yeah, right. But the woman has such low self esteem that she sees him whenever he can get away *gag*. The President is here as little as possible. He is out on medical so he isn't working at the mill right now. ( This union local works out of the paper mill dowm the road). He is lucky his wife makes at least 10 times more a year than he does!
Nothing goes on here that is of any interest to you bloggers and blog readers. Althought he wildlife is abundant up here on the hill. A beautiful fox ran through the parking lot and into the woods yesterday. There are deer and wild turkeys here all the time. It is a haven for birds also.
So my job in a nutshell.
I did mention that my husband and I used to own a tavern, 2 actually. I guess I can start telling funny stories from there. Next time. 5月19日 I'm Late!No, I don't mean pregnant, although I am 15 weeks along! I am late for work. Tiger decided to wake up at 5:00 this morning. I was beat so She laid in bed with me and played and watched Winnie-the-Pooh. At 6:30 she snuggled into my neck and fell asleep. So did I. At 8:30 the phone rang, it was my mom, worried that one of us was sick. I told her we overslept and that I would be there shortly. I start work at 8:30. I speed showerd, left Tiger in her jammies and snapped her and her juice bottle into the back of the car and hurried off to my mom's. My mother recently retired, she has worked pretty much full time since I was 2 years old. She was a very hard worker but always had time for me and my brother. No one deserved retirement more than she. My father, the cold !@#$ that he is told her the he was planning on retireing in a year or so and if she wanted him to keep her medical benefits that she would have to lose weight. My father has been on my mother about losing weight for YEARS. And I mean ridiculing her, embarassing her, humiliating her in front of people. No wonder she doesn't lose, she has no support from him. So she went and found a part time job with benefits. I know this breaks her heart. She has said more than once that she loves staying home now. She is with her grandbaby all day. She has time to take care of the house and bake. Do all the things she loves to do but hasn't had much time for. This job means that I need to find day care for my 11 month old. I am heartsick. I hear nothing good about our area day cares. I am considering quitting to stay home with her, but my husband would have to work 70 hours a week and we'd never see him. So that isn't an option. I have found a sitter for Mondays but no one for Thursday and Friday. I have 1 week to find a solution. I can't sleep or eat. My greatest fear is that she'll be abused, in any form. I was abused by the son of a babysitter and these people were friends of my parents! I may be being over cautious but she is my daughter and I will protect her forever, no matter what. Wish me luck finding a nice older grannie that will treat my baby like gold! 5月17日 Home, safe and soundWell our trip itself was fairly uneventful, aside from the fact that I had to keep telling my father to slow the hell down. 80-90 MPH with his granddaughter in the back is way too fast. I had high hopes for this vacation and was fairly disappointed. I was super glad to see my family but not so glad that my Auntie planned every waking second for us!! After 2 days of being unwillingly dragged from house to restaraunt...I spoke my mind. After all this was mine and my hubby's first vacation together and would be our last for a long while. SO after the dust settled we were on our way to Appomatox and Freds Anitque car museum (both not my choice, but I love my husband to pieces and he really wanted to go). We got to spend some nice, quiet quality time together with our wee one, who slept like a log the whole time we were there!! On our way back to home we got to stop at Hershey and visit the chocolate making process and well as spen $40 on sweets! My hubby drove the rest of the way home, Thank goodness and I didn't have to press my imaginary brake once! 5月1日 6 more daysIn 6 more days we will be on the road for Lynchburg, Virginia to visit my mothers family whom we haven't seen in years. I can't wait to get outta Dodge for a while but not looking forward to a long car trip with a ten month old. She STILL is not sleeping for crap. I am sure it is somehow my fault. I spoil her way to much. She is my first baby, I will spoil her forever. Just like I will the next one!! But I will make sure to put this next baby down when he/she is sleepy!
We have made almost no progress on th enew bedroom we are adding on. Sometimes it is just so hard to find any spare time. We did finally get outside to get the lawns raked and all the winter junk picked up and put away. I can't wait to start planting my veggie garden.
I work full time as does my hubby. I work M-F he works M-Sat. I have been here for a year and 4 months. I work 40 hours a week but am still considered part time, don't get that. I work for a Union even!! I told them I want to join a union and I want a contract. It is only fair. And I want a raise!! My hubby has been at the same job for 12 years, he is the Asst. Mgr. and yet he only makes 50 cents more an hour than I do. Some people just don't appreciate their employees. If it wasn't for the insurance I am sure he would have found something else by now. His Boss just gave his notice. He damn well better be stepping up to the Mgrs. position.
We went to my folks for dinner Sunday, it was my sister in laws birthday. I am having some major issues with my dad. This is thier first baby grandchild, my brother has a step daughter, she was almost 3 when he married her mom. She is now 14. So this baby thing is all new for them..I know my dad LOVES our baby, but I am so sick of hearing...your mother may let you do that but Grampy won't!! Not in my house....or wait til your mommy's not here, I'll let you have steak or lollipops or ice cream.....you get the picure?? Now my dad worked shift work while I was growing up, I don't really remember much of my dad until I was about 7. And let me tell you he wouldn't have own any awards, I love him very much but he was one mean SOB. Why all of a sudden he thinks he knows how to raise me child is beyond me. I have bitten my tongue for months. I don't think I can much longer. He is not the type where I can just say " Ok Dad, I am her mother, I will decide what she has and when, you just be the happy, doting grampy" He will understand "Look, I make the rules when it comes to my daughter, if you can abide by my wishes, I won't bring her over here anymore".
I guess I keep hoping he will mellow out and just be Grampy, I think I am hoping for too much. I guess I will let it go until after our Virginia trip, maybe |
