sigh.
i have nothing to say really. but my last post was so sad, so i want to put something new up.
Um...I am excited to finally have a cleaning lady come! DH and I have been fighting about this for YEARS, and he finally caved. Or got tired of living in filth; I'm not sure which. SO it's just every other week, but that's still better than me cleaning!!
Madi's dance class started working on their dance for the recital...wow. the patience it must take to teach 3 year olds. Annoys me just watching from outside. Guess that's why I don't do it, huh? But they are really cute, and it's a pretty easy going studio where they don't get all uptight about perfection....which, with my DD....is a good thing.
Bedtime for me.

I cried today.
for the first time in a long time. except if you count movies, which i don't, and then i cried at one on Sat. night (Facing the Giants....fantabulous movie if you havent seen it).
but i digress.
it wasn't for not making a dt; it wasn't b/c dh hurt my feelings; it wasn't for anything sad and no one died. no, i don't cry for those reasons--"normal" reasons.
i cried because i was so incredibly mad.
why was i mad?
because i got "chosen" to do some pilot program at work that, without giving too many boring details, will involve pissed off people calling me. basically customer service. now granted, it's just 5 hours spread throughout the week, but i was COMPLETLEY blindsighted by this and not asked my desires at all. and that doesn't sit well with me. i even called my boss on it and said that it took me totally by suprise, and as it is i am working 45-50 hrs/week and is it optional at all? nope. she basically said tough stuff. they picked certain people for a certain reason and actually being competent at my job sort of hurt me. i told her (nicely) that i really would rather focus on my current duties, but apparently they don't care. since i am so fabulous on the phone they want me for this. so after all this (thank GOD i made it til after the call but JUST barely)....i cried. i cry when i am mad, and that makes me madder, which generally makes me cry more.
well if you read all that, thank you. i know it's boring.
but i need to vent.
and as i've said before
it's my blog.

TGIF
So I'm waiting for my sitter to bring the kids home.
I have been painting my office. Um. I don't do things like this...actual "work"....but DH was fine with the way the walls were and said if I wanted them blue that i'd have to do it myself. So I am. and it's way WAY harder with the texture than I thought. And there's my kids.
And I got a page picked up for Jan 08 Scrapbook Trends...love that.
Ok. right after I typed that Matt came in hollering that there was a "little tiny mess on the bathroom floor". Um, I don't think he got one drop IN the potty. A bit more than a little tiny mess. Good thing the floor needs mopping.

Rainbows in a dreary day....
For my job, I spend a significant amount of time on the phone with dr's offices. I just LOVE when I get an office that puts me on hold and has Christian music playing...it's sort of like a reminder of the important stuff in life. I had that today; it always makes me so grateful for people who do not hide their testimony and aren't afraid to offend others.
Got my SIS kit today!! OH MY! Such lovely goodness in it! I am going to try to play tonight if hubby will let me!
Yuk. my keyboard is really dirty, i just noticed. one of those things you (well, i) never think about cleaning....
my poor sister...she's about to go crazy. Her baby cries (or at least fusses) all the time. He doesn't sleep much except from 2am-6am...and that can't be good for a one month old. Just little 4 or 8 minute naps here and there. and when she's not feeding him, she has to be bouncing and patting, etc....and even then he's very wiggly and not happy. So pretty much that is all she does all day long, since he won't nap and screams bloody murder if you put him down. She's never let him cry it out though, i would think she should try that for at least a bit, but what do I know, I had the best babies in the world, so i really have no good advice. she is just pretty much worn out and depressed and all kinds of stuff fun for a new mom.
Even though I had 2 at one time I am so thankful they were good babies!

Goin Croppin...
is always a fun way to spend a Friday night. Meeting a friend for dinner, then checking out a new (to me) scrapbook store. :) I rented the movie 300 for Brian...but he doesn't know it yet; I did it as a suprise since he's got the kids tonight and then he'll be lonely ;) after they go to bed. Yeah, sometimes, very very rarely, I can be sweet. But not usually.
So. Pondering trying out for some DT's....I probably wouldn't stand a snowball's chance, but then I NEVER thought I'd get the SIS gig either, and boy am I glad I stuck my neck out for that one! Speaking of, if you haven't, you can see me on TV on your computer here: http://www.scrapinstyletv.com/SISTV.php (sorry I can't figure out how to link with names instead of addresses). Anyway, check out the round robin episodes....and don't hold my southern accent against me!
Have a fabuloso weekend!
