I may have gotten up too early. I seem to be having auditory hallucinations…I keep hearing odd things.
You would think…with 4 ice cube trays in the freezer ONE would have ice cubes in it.

I think a person on the team is not so happy with me. I am tired of her pushing back for some reason or another on every single thing I ask her to pick up. I don’t mind once and awhile - I understand people are busy etc. She always pushes back though - and spends a lot of time bitching about other people not doing their jobs.
This time I had enough - she is responsible for a certain...

I maintain that 16 is just trying to make me look bad. :P
Naw, you are a hard act to follow. Brilliant, beautiful, strong, independent - I could go on…he had to find some way to make his mark in the world - you set the bar high.

I just caught myself staring mindlessly at the scrolling TV guide.
I forgot what I was going to post…but remembered something else I was going to post.
11 took a grade 6 provincial achievement test - they have them in Grades 3, 6, 9 and 12. He got to have someone read the questions for him, and could verbally tell them the answer.
He got 88%
I just started crying.
I hate standardized...
16 and I seem to be having issues in the kitchen tonight.
I made some sort of mush with rice noodles, satay sauce etc. It was tasty but gave me instant heartburn.
He put a pot on the stove and left it there until I reminded him he needed water in it. Then he put water in it and left it on the stove but didn’t turn the burner on. Then he turned on the wrong burner and almost melted...
11: Stay away from my Mother!
16: She’s my Mother too!
11: No she’s not, you’re adopted!
Ahhh…sibling love.

Came home, made dinner, ate, did dishes, puttered around, went upstairs to change, thought “thank goodness it is almost bedtime”, then looked at the clock.
Crap! It is only 6pm.
I am far too efficient.

Just got certified.
No…not cuz I am crazy.
Just took, and passed the final exam - great score I am a bit surprised (some of the questions did actually throw me).
Two certifications to my name now.
Yay!
I have spent my morning rescheduling things.

I found out my niece wanted me to come to a ceremony at her school.
My sister messaged me at 10:30 last night about it and I was thinking I might go, then she told me just now that the ceremony is in 25 minutes.
I told her it would have been nice and most likely possible for me to go if she had given me more warning.
She is blaming the school (as usual it isn’t her fault)…she...
I have been having issues regulating my temperature all day.
Now I am going out with friends and wondering if I am going to burst into flame.

Woke up far earlier than I wanted.
Feel a wee bit like garbage.
It is raining again.
I actually tried to Google how many days of rain we have had this year so far, it has to be some sort of record. Can’t find any site saying it is a record, so it must just seem like it has been raining forever.
Apparently the boys went “clubbing”.
Which involves flopping around on the bed.
I didn’t tell them the flooping around on the bed with other people usually doesn’t happen until AFTER clubbing.
Mmmmmm home-made salad rolls

Trying to match a blue on a document to a site…and I don’t have any of the information.
Of course everyone is off.

Tip: If you are going to dance to the music you are blasting through your headset make sure the headset is wireless.
Just about strangled myself with my headset cord “bustin a move” to Moves Like Jagger.
Then you get the standard flinging all the crap off your desk with the rest of the cord that isn’t wrapped around your neck.

How to feel old.
Wish your friend who is a year younger than you a Happy Birthday…realize your birthday is coming up in a couple weeks.
Then have the realization that you have been friends with this person for 32 years!!!!
When I told her that she said we weren’t friends anymore - that’s what I love about her.

I just did what would be considered the very definition of stress eating.
I stood at the counter and jammed a few powdered mini donuts into my face before I thought about it.
Then realized I hadn’t eaten anything since about 8am (7 hours ago), tea and a blueberry muffin.
Thinking about my breakfast I realize that was probably a trytostuffmyfeelingswithfoodandmakemyselffeelbetter...

I have to step back a bit today. I just about told someone:
“NO, you aren’t getting it!”
That isn’t something you want to say in a “trainer role” not in the tone of voice I was going to use…
…oops…

This is SERIOUSLY a weird day!
I just typed something in a program we use and it suggested “tits” as an alternative.
Why the heck is that in there!!

Men at work seem to be “feisty” today…using lots of innuendos.

Been staring at the words “Shared Mailboxes/Calendars” trying to figure out how to shorten it for about 10 minutes.
This is not how I wanted to start my day.
So I gave into the urging of a friend and I am reading that book “Fifty Shades of Grey”.
I don’t think it is worth the hype.
Sort of wondering if 16 knowing I am reading it makes me a bad Mom.
It was really amusing to watch him blush and stumble over his words when he read the title after I put it down on the bed to listen to him.
16: Oh! I didn’t know you were...

Conversation that just happened.
Me: You guys can stay up for an extra 1/2 hour.
16 grins
11: Woot! Ok!
Me: But you can’t be crabby with me when I get you up in the morning.
11: I won’t!
16: Mom wants some playtime!
Dang that boy is perceptive. He hit the nail on the head.
After being constantly busy for to long I wanted to take an hour to do just want I wanted to do.

TOO MUCH LAUNDRY! Stop the madness.
Oh man I didn’t link those two in my head for some reason!
That’s it, I’m going naked……
…too far?
I feel like I am changing clothes a lot lately.
For work, then workout, the out to do stuff, then lounge around the house, then bed.
Seems like a lot.

It is surprisingly startling when the non-fat tea you ordered actually has full-fat cream in it.
The taste is very different, and for me it makes my lips feel oily.

In “stealth mode” at work.
Trying to get my inbox down to at least 1000 emails - right now at 1217.
Wish me luck!
Just hit “Clear post”.
Maybe that will be for another day.

Sometimes I wonder if it is me.
Seriously. Just got told by a PM that by this Friday 7 recommendations will be completely implemented…
This includes configuring a system, building reports, building process, all the documentation around all of this, testing, training and communication.
Is it just me that thinks this isn’t possible with 2 people?
I need chocolate.
Lots and lots of chocolate.

Corvidae30 tried to convince me he was mostly better - “Greater range of motion!”
Then I walked into the bedroom and caught him trying to pick up something with his toes.

I am up early to log onto work, but I don’t want to log on so I haven’t because when I log on the hell will start.
That other manager contacted me again about that other job, things are starting to move forward again. That is how it works in this company, things drag out for months when they shouldn’t, and the other things that should take months are pushed to only take weeks.

ACK!
Not enough time in the day!
Laying here in the quiet for a moment. Contemplating what the day will bring. Trying to plan and organize my thoughts before the day goes rolling through.
People are crazy.
Dance floor was fairly empty until the BeeGees came on.
Of course everyone is drunk right now.

Corvidae30 has incapacitated himself. I told 16 this was his chance.

Community clean up and lawn sale today, then adult social in the evening.
Looks like there are going to be a lot of tents and rained on community members for this event.
Rainy Saturday.

I have a new favorite drink.
White Greyhound - grapefruit infused vodka, white cranberry juice and grapefruit bitters.
OMG! I just imagined it in slushee form!
