Thank you lord it's Friday..

I've been looking forward to Friday since last Friday. It's been a long and drawn out week. I'm sure glad it's over. I have a few things I have to take care of today but for the most part stuff on my list is done. :)

Next week I can focus on getting my stuff in order since I'll be out on Thursday and Friday. It seems that their is always something needed in my stuff while I'm gone. So I MUST clean "house". Less then a week until I can see my buddies and have a great time. Sure wish you were coming Mommy ((hugs)) :( But we're doing something in Vegas SOON.

I stayed up late last night helping E with his homework. I sure should have had him done with the project days ago. With work and running around all week I put partial blame on myself that I didn't sit him down earlier. BAD MOM. The project came out excellent. So it was all worth it.

Tomorrow at OH..dark thirty.. I will be up along with my dad and SIL. They are having summer camp sign-ups. I HAVE to get E in there. They only have so many slots available. So we will be waking out tired asses up at 3am.. to get a place in line. My dad is going with me.. what an angel he is. We use his address so we can save $$ each week otherwise we'd be considered a non-resident. Thank God for him. Maybe I'll have me a little coffee.. a little Kalua.. YUM. May not do that after as I have weigh in at 8am. LOL

I'm doing so much better on WW. Now that I have my coworker doing it with me. She's obviously lost way more then me in her 3 weeks of doing it then I've done in the 3 months I've been doing it. She has a lot more to lose so she loses it more quickly. But I have been keeping better track and doing much better. Exercise has slacked off some.. But I'm still doing it like 3 times a week. I think I may be down now 13 lbs. Not bad.. Hopefully I don't do very bad in B'more. I can only pray that we walk and walk and walk. As we will be visiting DC on Friday.

Well off to finish payroll.. hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

frustration and irritation

how sad that today is only Tuesday.. Aunt Flo is visiting and I'm so not a happy camper. I so wish that women didn't have to go through so much during her visit. First of all everyone and everything is on my nerves. I'd like to be able to climb in bed and pull the covers over my head. Today we had a really big client meeting here. My boss made arrangement for my coworker and myself to get the coffee and snacks ready by 8am when they were to arrive. Well she said she'd come in early to help. Well that didn't happen half the people beat her here. We get everything together and it was fine. I was getting my taxes and deposits ready so I can go to the bank. My boss asks me if I'd make a deposit for her in her account. I agreed but was still a little irritated from the late arrival this morning. I get back and jump right into my quarterly taxes and am busy when she comes up to me to see if I can call to see if it would be too late to order lunch. I call.. there is still time.. so I call back with the order.. then guess who has to go pick the damn thing up.. that's right ME!! It's been one hell of a day. I'm so tired.. so irritated that I'd like to just go home but I can't. I will be going to pick up E from soccer practice. While I sit and wait for the 1 hour that he has left I'll be doing exercise. Maybe that'll make me feel better. I doubt it.

Tomorrow will be a better day.. XX crossing fingers XX

oh geez why do I deal with this one??

alright.. I just have a major problem with my coworker. She's cool and other then her being really an idiot we get a long.. BUT.. listen to this.

First off the other day we were doing are walk for lunch and she asks me about our insurance. Right now she's under her hubbys insurance. Well we talk and I say well it's really expensive since it's just so few of us on it. I say and then we have people that have health problems that make it go higher too. I mentioned one of the coworkers that had had a heart attack before and another that has hepatitis C. These two cases are known in our office. I wasn't disclosing any information that's not already out there. Well she comes to me today and tells me my hubby is freaked out because of so and so that has Hep C. She said it's VERY contagious and if *coworker* spit got inside of my mouth somehow I'd get it. OH LORD!! In the 8 years that I've worked with *coworker*.. *coworker* never spit on me or around me. *coworker* never bled on me or around me. I found an article for her on Web MD that tells how it's transmitted. ok.. so she read it.. now she has written me this..


Idiot says:
its says NOT by casual contact

Idiot says:
see my husband freaks for no reason

Idiot says:
although one time *coworker* was picking her cuticles so bad it was bleeding bad

I say:
and as long as I've known *coworker* never bled all over either..

I say:
hmmm

Idiot says:
but you wouldn't put your hand on it

Idiot says:
does *partner* have it too?

I say:
don't think so, why do you ask?

Idiot says:
it said on there from having sex you can get it

Idiot says:
i just assumed if they are lovers that *partner* would

I says:
I'm sure they are careful

Idiot says:
that's more than casual contact

Not only does she freak about this kinda stuff..she's absolutely mean to others in the office.. always talking to me about them. How bad they look.. their clothes.. and so on. I just don't get it. It gets annoying.

Immigration..

I didn't post this on BB because I know that the majority of the girls there may not agree with me. I'd rather just be able to vent without getting more pissed off at some of the responses that I'd probably see there.

First off, I don't agree with this bill. I hope it doesn't pass. Second, I think that the illegals that are here should be given a green card or what have you and start paying taxes. I think that it would help out our economy and give us some much needed cushion in your deficit. I think that while Mexican or whichever illegal we're talking about should try and learn English we don't have the right to FORCE them. I think that they know that it would better help them out. I'm sure the majority would love to try and learn English. But if ever you were in a position to try and learn another language then you know it's no easy task. I don't think we should forcifully remove anyone that is now living here. Unless of course they are known felons or something like that. I've been very frustrated that now.. since we have a southern border problem that now they have this kinda thing happen. But while we were getting tons of Cubans and Asians that it wasn't that big of a problem. Yes I agree we need to close our borders. We need to keep people out for threat of terroists. BUT the people that are here.. they need to be checked out and put in the system. They need to pay taxes and be a contributing part of society.

I'm babbling now.. but I just feel that I have to get that off my chest right now. Sam says they should be forced to learn English. I think force is wrong. yes.. suggestion is much better. He says that Americans have the right to be lazy idiot bastards because they were "born" here. They have the right to be whatever they want because they were born here. I have a problem with that. We have hard working individuals that come here to better themselves but in our country we look at them to be the criminals. But then we have able bodies that can do the work but choose to sit on welfare for years and years but that's ok, because they are Americans. I think.. that as of 4/11/06 we close the borders. The people that are this side of the border get recognized as tax payers. I also believe that we need to promote businesses and jobs in Mexico and other poor countries. You don't see Canadians moving here.. why? because it's actually rather nice up there. We do a whole lot for Iraq and their livelihood even tho they don't want it. But yet we can't help out Mexico.. so that their people are happy to stay there. Happy with the job they have.. happy with the housing and what not. ugh!!

scared..

yesterday while at work we had a deranged sorta drugged out crazy person that walked into our office with a walking stick/cane sorta weapon. The top third of that stick was all metal.. As we are trying to figure out what he wants he just picks up things and looks and them and takes them. While my coworker and I are just trying to talk to him, my other coworker calls 911. During this time, he is slaming the stick on the table to pick up something else. Well my boss is trying to show him things he's picking up. She usually if we have unwanted visitors asks them to leave. But this time we both felt threatened. So we tried to talk to him long enough for the cops to come. We also are trying to talk toward the door. He's taken a few things from the office already. He asks for the time and my coworker tells him. Well he wants to see the watch. So my coworker holds it up and the guy is trying to literally take if off his arm. Hardly anyone heard this guy. One lazy nasty coworker just walked by and didn't even stop to see what was going on. I mean come on. Finally I get my male bosses attention and he comes over. We get him toward the door and on his way out he's grabbing some other stuff. then he put it down and was walking out and almost broke our front door with the stick. He put a nice big scratch in the window with that thing. All this time.. was like 15 minutes and the cops didn't show up. We saw him going from business to business and tried to even get in a house. I was afraid that he was going to swing that stick and hit one of us right in the head. He could have easily killed one of us. The cops didn't show up until he was long gone from our sight. I was literally shaking because I didnt' know what to do about the guy. Anyway.. they didn't find the guy. But the cop did tell me that they had gotten a few phone calls and one where he threatened to kill someone. geez louise.Anyway.. if you were to see how our office is situation, you'd see that if my bosses are not here (which most of the time they are not) then I'm pretty much alone and unheard from the back. We don't have panic buttons.. no buzzers.. no automatic locks. We've had other mental people come in here but never felt threatened like this before. I've mentioned about automatic locks and pretty much get shot down. They are finally thinking about getting a buzzer. Not sure how much that will work as they can't even answer the flippin phone when they know that I'm busy or whatever. Our office is downtown Albuquerque.. we sit between a HIV/Inmate/etc. counseling center. They come in here ALL the time mistaking our building for the center. On the other side of our building is a inmate halfway house, where police have been called to numerous times. I just feel unsafe especially after yesterday. Before yesterday.. I was careful because there are questionable characters.. BUT now it's different.So.. here is my thing.. I have a small 25 that I can carry in my purse. I of course would need to get a license to carry a concealed weapon. I feel that my bosses are not doing enough. But then maybe it's just still to early where I'm still feeling an edge.

oh man..

it's already hump day.. YEAH..

Well tomorrow by this time.. my ILs will be on the east coast. I love having them over. We always do so much fun stuff. The kids really love them being here to. But it'll be nice to get back to normal. Watch my own tv. Record my own shows. Run around naked if I want too. LOL Pass gas if I want too.. LMAO.. JK

So I went to the casino last week and I actually won some money. ME.. the most unlucky person ever.. won over a hundred bucks.. yeah!! which reminds me.. Sam had all that money.. I wonder if he spent it all. Just called and he said he has $40 left.. WTF..that's MY money.. LOL

I've been working out this week. OUTSIDE.. I love when it gets warm. I'm still having a little bit of a hard time eating right all the time. it's really killing me right now. Maybe when my ILs leave I'll be better. I had my annual exam yesterday.. that sucked. The doc was so rough when he was pushing on my ovaries. I thought those things were like gonna pop out. I was sore all night. OUCH!! Hope everything comes back normal. I would hate to have to do a retest or something.. ugh.

Well here comes trouble. I best be getting back to work.
