oh man.. I'm so mad. I was going to take the boys for their pictures this weekend. They haven't had any together in a couple of years probably. Anyway.. my MIL took the boys to get their haircut for me today. Well instead of asking me.. THEIR MOTHER.. she asked Sam.. WTF does he know.. obviously NOTHING.. She cut Q's hair major short. :(

I'm about to cry.. because I like his hair.. I've never EVER cut his hair as short as she said he told her to go. If you are familiar with hair clippers.. and you know your size of combs.. you'll know.. that a one on the side.. and two on top.. is WAY short. no more curls. And in some cases they don't grow back once you cut them. I'm so upset. I know that to a lot you it might seem like nothing. I mean hair is hair.. it'll grow back. But man.. Now I don't know if I wanna take them for his pictures.. I'm really mad. I hope I didn't sound pissed off when my MIL on the phone.. but dammit..

Ok.. back to work..

3 day work week!! I can handle that.. right??

As I sit here listening to the Gipsy Kings on my MP3 player wishing I was in Mexico.. sitting on the beach.. reading a good book and drinking my coffee. I need a break.. not any kind of break. I need a relaxing break. As much as I love my inlaws and look forward to spending time with them. It's not relaxing. we are from one place to another. Or just handling my father in law.. he has MS.. and he's cranky as all get out. He is picky and it drives me crazy. Well they are here for 10 more days. I have Thursday and FRiday off. I am looking forward to that.. but I need a sunny on the beach or cruise ship vacation.

My trip to Baltimore is a little over a month away. I'm so excited. I am just gonna live it up with my buddies. It'll be GREAT! I'm spending time with my ILs on the Saturday while in B'more. I was gonna hang out with my BIL and SIL.. BUT.. they just didn't welcome me like I thought they would. Plus my SIL.. she's lived in MD all her life... and she gave me the excuse that she didn't know where the airport was. Now if you've lived in one place all your life. How in the hell.. do you not know where the airport is. Come on now. I could probably find the airport there in MD.. please. So I changed my plans for that night. I'm going with my other BIL to his bday dinner that his friends are throwing for him. And then I'm spending thenight at my Aunt in law..she's cool and she said she'd take me to the airport. I'm so darn happy that somebody will give me a ride. LOL

Well back to work.. as I have only a 3 day work week.. things will start piling up on me fast because they want them before I leave. That means.. payroll has to go in early too.. plus I won't forget my taxes this time. ;)

oh crap!! I'm in trouble

with the IRS. I forgot to put in one of payroll payments for last month. a 21% fine.. crap..

ugh..lord help me.

I'm really irritated and would like to just go home. Why do I have to work with people that are just not like me.. LMAO

Well I made turkey burgers the other night. So I know Sam won't eat them.. so I brought them in to work. I offered it to my one coworker and she said, well let me look at them. I was like huh? so you won't eat them if they look funny? she said no, kiddingly I guess but still. I brought all the works too. lettuce to wrap them in.. fat free cheese. tomato and onion. and avocado. yummy. Well she sure fixed herself up one. Guess she figured I knew how to cook or something who knows. I know there are people that I won't eat their food. But that's like people I don't know and stuff. But it was just weird. Anyway.. She about took all my avocado too darn it.. which is my favorite. LOL

My other coworker.. well I was on the phone with a buddy of mine and all he did was just stay standing there for like 5 minutes. Guess he was waiting for me to get off the phone. I don't do this. I don't stand there and wait. That's rude. All he was waiting to ask me if I knew where another coworker went. Well if he had looked at the sign out sheet he would have known that he was at a meeting. While he's standing there waiting on me I felt like I needed to get off. So I told my friend I'd call her back. But it pissed me off that they have to always come to me with problems they can figure or fix themselves. They hang out here all day at my desk. I know that I'm a great friend and they are drawn to me or whatever.. LMAO but damn.. give me some space.

Anyway.. today was a day to vent on them. Ok.. off to eat my burger. :)

wow.. where have I been..

Well work is killing me right now. We have an auditor in the office so I've been having to print out stuff for him. I've had to fax and refax all these darn invoices that people apparently lost or misplaced.. ugh.. I do that all day and there goes the whole day.. I've been doing pretty good with the working out but then the week is still young. I'm trying to get to do 5 days a week again. But with soccer and my ILs coming it may not get done. We'll see. I did lose 1.8 lbs last week at WW. I was proud of myself. But I'm hoping to lose more this week. We'll see. I'm bloated and everytime that happens you can add an extra 2lbs on me easy.

Work is going pretty good. I mean there is pretty much no drama since our Mr. Grumpasaurus left. I mean.. how can one person.. bring down the whole office. I just don't understand. Well I'm glad he's gone. I'm sure I could be friends with him outside of work but at work we need peace and harmony. Not sure that'll last.. LMAO

My inlaws fly in Friday afternoon. I actually like the a whole lot and look forward to them coming. I'm actually excited. I think the only thing that I not like is that my FIL is a grouch sometimes. But he has MS and he gets tired and grumpy pretty often. I try and not be too hard on him. Also..he's very picky and doesn't like a lot of New Mexican food. Hello.. you'll have to eat it unless you want to cook for yo'self. Oh.. another thing I almost forgot and this is a big one. He takes over my tv. I mean.. basketball 24/7 and channel surfing all day is not my idea of fun. Plus, I'm getting my new DVR on Wednesday and I may just want to use it while they are here. But guess I won't be able to unless I move it into my bedroom. Which I may still do. They will be here to 2 weeks so this may be the way to go. Watch TV in my room. My treadmill is in the kitchen/dining /great room area so I'll have to workout to something other then my favorite shows :(

oh well bring on the good times.. (YAY) I do have one exciting thing happening on Friday when they get here. We're going to my favorite restaurant. Red Lobster.. I just hope I can stay pretty healthy there.

I'm so darn excited..

I can hardly wait to get ready for my trip to Baltimore. Not only will I be seeing my friends there. But I'm hoping to catch my buddy Mommy on my way there. That's if she can't go with me to B'more. I wish I was having more of a layover.. but they sold out on that flight. That sucks. But anytime with ma gurl is gonna be great.

We've gotten the flights taken care of. The car rental taken care of. And we're close to finding a hotel too. woohoo. Exciting.

Work is going crappy.. it could just be that I'm irritable, frustrated and PMSing all in one. oh wait.. I think that's actuall the definition of PMS. LOL Tonight Erik has soccer. I'll be going to pick him up. I just wish his coach didn't think it was ok to be out there all night. It's supposed to finish up at 6:30 but she pushes it until like almost 7pm. It's way dark by then. And frankly I like spending time at home before going to sleep and getting up again at 5:30am. ugh!! I guess you could say we're getting our money's worth.

Back to work I go. Before I let somebody have it. :)

Well I should update..

My friend that went to Phoenix got her plans semi messed up because her friends fiance ended up meeting them there Saturday. She did inform me that she got really drunk and was sick all that night and the next day on her plane ride back. She told me that she danced with a guy all night. She said he looked gay. Why to me does this sound like an excuse to be ok with it. I feel that if I'm gonna go out dancing I'll do it with my girls. It's much more fun if it's a big group anyway. I just feel that if you give all your attention to one person than it's different then dancing with several people. I don't know. I'm weird like that. I wouldn't like Sam to go out dancing first of all but if he danced with one person all night. naawww that's not cool with me. But maybe they have a different sort of relationship. who knows. But I'm warning all you mamas that I meet in Baltimore.. if you're out with me. Chances are that I'll get up and dance.. LOL

Anyway.. off the subject.... I gained big at my WW meeting on Saturday. I'm so bummed out that I could eat myself into a coma.. but I won't. I just can't understand how hard it is to lose weight.. and keep it off. It's horrible. But I'll press on.

today I had..

boiled egg - 2 points
2 slices toast - 1 point
I had a small taste of Nutella.. I'll count it as a point for messing up - 1 point

lunch
South Beach meal.. Chicken Wraps w. Jello - 5 points
Cucumber - 0 points
Jalapeno - 0 points

snack
laughing cow cheese - 1 point
100 cal pack cheeseits - 2 points

dinner
??

ok.. I have a problem..

First off I have a friend.. a very good friend that I would consider even my best friend. Well she is going out of town with her "other best friend". They are going to Phoenix to have a girls weekend which is fine.. (I'll be doing that myself in May) BUT she is intentionally hiding stuff from her husband. The other girl she's going with is recently engaged. Her boyfriend is a really nice guy. I like him alot. I also like my BF husband. He's Sam's best friend. LOL Anyway.. she wanted me to go. But I declined because I know how wild and secretive these trips are.

The last time they did this trip. They went to a bar and recognized someone that was from here running the bar there. Well this certain guy was the object of desire of my BF while he lived here years ago before hubby and kids. Well there was some flirting. And the crazy other girl says.. maybe you'll get a repeat of a kiss from years before. My friend says she didn't. BUT I don't put it past her. So anyway.. she says she has called this guy to let him know she's gonna be in Phx again. He says to stop by for some drinks. So again.. she says her hubby knows because they want free drinks. Second thing.. There was another guy the previous trip that they met at a club. Well he told them about a better club on the other side of town.. so they followed him (her story) and he paid for them to get in. They danced all night and what have you. Well back to the present. She says they called him and asked him to have dinner. He said he would take them to dinner. Either they want to have a bunch of freebies while they are in Phx or they actually like the flirting and company of other men. She told me she has to keep in touch with this man because he has a friend that runs a hotel in Vegas and he could get "us" free rooms when we go. But there again.. it's a secret from her hubby. My thing is.. why keep it a secret if nothing went on. I personally have a really bad case of the guilty conscious.. I could never keep that from my hubby. I don't know.. maybe I'm just making this out to be more then it is. But I just think it's wrong. She told me.. that N her friend is REALLY crazy when she drinks and she has to watch her. She says.. she maybe talk to a guy but she would never kiss him. WHY do I not believe this??

Here's my baby...

Video Sharing at DropShots.com

Well here is a little video of Quincy singing Happy Birthday to himself. He's such a cutie. He didn't have his glasses on since he broke them. But a new pair is on the way.. Thank God.

The dinner was good..there were sixteen of us there. So it took awhile to find a place where we all could sit together. But we had great fun. We didn't get home til close to 9pm. I was so tired. Even today.. I'm struggling to stay awake. I made the mistake of getting decaf at the Bucks.

My MOMMY ME

is the bomb diggity.. I love you girl!! Come to B'more!!

My baby is 4 today..

WAHHHHHHH I'm actually pretty sad about this. I mean.. it makes me think of another one. But I know I don't wanna be too old. I guess I'll just have to deal that he's growing.

Tonight we're taking him out to dinner. Red Robin.. he's kid night there. So they have tons of fun stuff going on. We also invited Sam's buddy Doc. It just happens to be his bday too. We invited my bro and sil and our other friends as well. It'll be a nice big crowd.

So glad the week is halfway over. I'm looking forward to having a weekend home. I think the only thing planned is Erik's soccer game on Saturday. I just hope he wins this time. If not, I'll sleep in the car. LOL

I'll have pictures of Q tonight.. maybe a video too. ;)

I need to get motivated...

I have work to do. But here I sit putting it off.. checking out everyone's blog to see if there is any good reading to be done. Or maybe by some chance someone has posted to the post about our meet up. Nope.. maybe I shouldn't watch the post and people would reply. Or maybe there is a certain annoying drama queen that wants people to feel sorry for her.. maybe there is a post that just puts her into her place. But no.. there is a couple that are touching on the "you are a nutso" but the rest are oh poor baby..

I could post about my new Ford Explorer.. We got a 2005.. 22k miles on it. It's silver and matches my Ford Focus perfectly.. (UGH wasn't planned). We got it Saturday pm.. We love it. The boys absolutely love it. They sit in the 3rd row seat all the time now. which is ok with me. They are further from me arguing back and forth.

How about an update on Erik's game?? He got beat.. BAD. Maybe I should post about how POOR Erik got beat. Maybe I could have a whole lot of people feel really sorry for Erik and even more sorrier for me. <> NO really it's not only his fault but that of his team. They got out played.. oh wait.. that would mean that Erik's team played.. Well they didn't. They looked horrible. I can't believe they did so well at their tournament and then come to play their regular season with a horrible loss the first time. I know that there are bad days. But I'm not gonna make Erik think that they played their hearts out and tried if they didn't even do that.

Well I'm getting off that subject and it was a sore spot in my side the whole weekend. I had a great Sunday. Went shopping spent money on new glasses for Q. He and Erik bent his old ones to hell and back. He needed them but needless to say it put a huge dent in my checkbook. darn kids.. LOL I spent time with my SIL and nephews.. that was great fun. We made dinner and just hung out. I got home in time to iron all our clothes for the week. Boy I hate to iron. But you know never know when you see the big pile of crap I iron every Sunday. Come Monday.. annoyed with work. Nothing seems to get finished.. my fault I know. But still when you're given little meanial crap on top of your own stuff.. that's annoying. oh well.. it will pass. If I would only do my work .. I could probably knock it out in a day. I'll try!!

Come Monday night.. give a call into qwest.. my internet is funky.. the first guy is annoying. He thinks it has everything to do with the filter. But it worked without the filter for months. Found a filter.. put it on.. doesn't work at all now. So I call AGAIN.. by this time it is 9:30pm.. I missed to got booted on The Apprentice.. I'm bummed because of that. So I get an East Indian person on the phone. Holy crap.. I couldn't understand him very good. But we got through it.. moved this here and that there.. and Voila!! It works!! By this time it's after 10pm. Mama is tired. I got to bed without even getting online. That sucks. LOL

So brings me to today.. Tuesday. It's cloudy out and it's blah day. It would be really different if it were to rain.. because I love rainy days. But I know it's not. It's just cloudy to piss me off and to dirty my two clean cars. Work is still annoying.. more idiot jobs on my plate then yesterday. Got them done. Now it's onto my real work. Oh yes.. and "make sure you get to the bank today" Yes Massa!! Anything else Massa?? I'm tired today.. and probably from you read.. I'm in a bad irritated mood. Hopefully it goes away soon.

It's Friday.. YIPPEE!!

Tonight we're planning on going to our friends house for dinner. She's making Lasagna and cheese garlic bread.. GREAT.. there goes my weigh in tomorrow.

I was supposed to weigh in today.. but my coworker just ditched me. Yesterday we were supposed to go walking. Well she forgot her shoes. Then today was supposed to be our weigh in day.. her first day.. and she says her doctor told her she should wait to get on antibiotics. HUH?? What does that have to do with losing weight? Or even joining the program. oh well whatever. I guess I only have myself.. it's ok tho. I've been doing it like this for weeks. I'm ok with that.

Today after I get out of work which will be in like 30 minutes.. LOL we are going to look for a car/van/suv. I will definitely be looking at the Honda Oddessy since I have a little bird pecking at my brain about that one. (love you girl) I hope to find one that is reasonable. We'll see. All I know is what I want my payment to be.. I'll go as high as mid 3's. That's it. I'm telling you we've been spoiled with low payments for so long that if we had a huge jump more then that.. we'll panic. LOL

If we don't find anything today.. we'll go back and look at that new Ford Explorer limited.. that was a way NICE car.. and pretty reasonably priced. But hopefully by Saturday we have something in our possession. XXcross fingersXX

Saturday Erik's game is at 9am. He has to be there at 8:30am. Which means we have to leave at 8am.. which means wake up at 7am. We also have after game snack.. dang.. no sleeping in for me.. LOL

Thanks for all the good luck win vibes from everyone. I did hear that they will be missing on of their better players. He has sometimes of illness.. maybe flu. So they will just have to work a little harder tomorrow.

Sunday.. I have no real plans. Maybe hang with my buddy Gina.. maybe get a walk or run in down by the river.. I've been looking forward to working out OUTSIDE. It's been beautiful. Just been having so much other stuff keeping me busy during daytime hours. Wish I had me a workout buddy.. anyone wanna come visit?

Thursday.. YEAH!!

Well today I'm not gonna kill myself to get working. I need a break. Soon.. I'll be having to do invoices again.. and until then I'm not running on fast forward.

Ok.. so tomorrow is almost here. I'm so looking forward to having some time off. Erik will have his first regular soccer game this weekend. I'm ready for them to start. I love to watch Erik play soccer. It's a great game. Anyhow.. I have nothing esle to really do this weekend. I may make some candles. I've been trying to get a batch in for weeks. I'm actually looking to get more jars. I would hope to find some at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. We'll see.

Sam and I went out on a date night on Saturday night. I think we're gonna try and do that more often. I had gotten a gift certificate from My Points to Suart Anderson's Black Angus.. and that place was the bomb. We both had filet mignon and it was damn good. I also had a couple of drinks that were much needed. We had a great time. Maybe next time we can look at going to a piano bar or something like that. I just feel that we feel obligated to have our kids all the time. Actually up until the last hour we thought about actually taking them with us. But I'm glad we didn't. It was nice. We got to sit close and hold hands.. awwwwwww..

I did order another GC.. so we'll be going again soon.

Oh and one other thing.. I weigh into tomorrow and really need a loss. Last night on my weigh home I was yawning and yawning.. I just knew that I wasn't going to do such a great job at working out. I had to figure out something. I had some Red Bull that I keep in the house for drinks.. yum.. Red Bull and Yagermeister.. I figured I should drink one and see if that woke me up a bit. Well I guess it must have done its job because I did 6 miles in 90 minutes. I felt very good after my workout. Not even tired. LOL Guess on those days when I just don't have the energy.. I'll have to pull our a Red Bull. It seriously worked.

Ok.. better get to work now.

so glad it's Wednesday..

Only a couple of days of this crazy week.. Thank God. Today is Ash Wednesday and I was thinking of going to church but I took an allergy pill this morning and I am sure to fall asleep. ugh.. not good. I still may if my SIL calls. She was in training and she wasn't sure if they were gonna let her out early enough to get down here. We'll see.

I've been working non-stop since last week. I haven't gotten a break until about now. I actually still have tons of work to do. But I'm saying screw it for just a few minutes.. long enough for me to write in my poor blog. Before now I'd been posting an entry everyday except maybe Saturday and Sunday. Well I'm gonna be back on track. I've noticed that when I write stuff down I do so much better during the day. All the frustrations and aggravation get typed and out and I feel like I'd just vented. LOL

This weekend we have Erik's first regular soccer game of the season. They did so well in their tourney that I'm hoping he can pull out a win. Saturday we're also invited to do to my bosses house for a party. I'm hoping we can go as they have great food, drinks and music. We'll see how Saturday goes. We're in the process of looking into buying a car. Either a new or used.. we'll see. Last night we test drove this really REALLY nice 2004 Explorer. It was a Limited Edition... so it was pimped out. I loved it. It only had 37 miles.. must have been a lease. We're gonna keep looking around but if this baby is still there on Saturday we may just have to walk away with that baby. Although I'd much rather have a van.. more room for standing and what not.. I'll settle for a bigger SUV. This car actually sits seven which would be wonderful. I guess by Saturday we'll have a new car.. or hopefully we will. Our Explorer is totally a POS. It's on it's last legs. The bad thing is we still owe on it. See that's what you get when you refinance a home equity loan and they ask you if you want to include the car.. ugh. This bad boy is a 1998. We should have been done paying for this long ago. Oh well you live and learn right..

This week is such a good week for tv.. The bachelor finale was on Monday. Although he didn't pick the girl I liked the other was ok. She was nice and cute. Tuesday you had American Idol and Amazing Race. I missed most of AI as I was out at the car lot looking at cars. I did catch all of AR and I just loved it. Tonight I think is AI again.. and then tomorrow well you have Survivor.. and all the rest of the must see tv line up. I'm excited.

I lost 1.4 lbs this week. I've been doing better with dieting.. and also better with not weighing myself everyday. I have a coworker that is gonna go with me to meetings on Fridays at noon when we get out of here. It will be nice to actually have someone there for support when we want to snack. I only worked out 3 days last week.. not bad considering I had a loss. Now I'm wondering if I'm pushing myself to do 6 days a week, 4 miles a day. That seems like a lot when you're not losing crap. Well I'm keeping on truckin for darn sure. Hope all is well with you guys. I'm off to work once again.
