well last night was fun.. in an odd sort of way

So i frequent a lot of forums (well, maybe only a couple actively right now) and after getting into a brawl with a STUPID CRAZY BITCH online, I decided I don’t need to be in company of so many stupid people. especially not online anyway. So i deleted my account and called it quits.

This is a woman who was ranting about how her baby son’s pediatrician was checking him out “down there” and was about to pull the skin back to check things out and she just blew off the handle and is now saying she’s going to file sexual abuse charges on him. My fucking God!
These are the kinds of people who sue McDonalds for being stupid enough to spill steaming hot coffee down their own pants. LOL! …. well, out with the old and tired….

We have been sleeping with the dogs of late and i’m about ready to kick them out again. It’s just impossible to lay in bed with 2 dogs and have a good night’s sleep anymore. I thought Dennis was going to strangle scully last night but she turned on him long enough to jet to my side of the bed. heehee… man, was he pissed. The bed just isn’t big enough for the four of us! LOL!

TGIF! yeah yeah i work tomorrow too but hey, saturdays are different cuz … well… it’s saturday. :)

thar she blows!

not for the easily nauseated

this weekend..

…has been a total bore.. nothing exciting going on. not even the very exciting passtime of doign nothing. my project this weekend has been laundry. I’ve done 9 loads and have 3 more to go. I don’t remember EVER having this many dirty clothes, sheets, towels before in my life. I thought i could do it all in one day but drying all that stuff takes TIME. I’ve also been boxing clothes that we can’t wear anymore for goodwill.

I have another new homeproject called “operation white tooth” LOL! dennis has a dental appt today I scheduled for him (after 15 months of waiting i figured he’d never *really* do it himself) and i’m sure he’s forgotten about this appointment already. I’m busy devising some interesting scheme for waking him up.. bwahahahahahaaaa… i’m sooo mean. :-D
anyways.. back to the weekend grind.

they called

Tela’s new rescuers called today and thanked us for taking her in for adoption. They said she’s a great dog and are very happy she’ll be living with them .. they took her home today.

how awesome is that!?

I went to babiesr’us today and as i was walking towards the store i noticed a car in the parking lot with the engine running but nobody inside.. i thought that was odd so i tried to see in it more but as far as i was from the car i couldn’t tell anything other than the baby carseat with canopy in the back.. omg.. i thought, no way somebody didn’t just leave their baby inside that car. I almost said something to the cashier but i didn’t. i don’t know why i didn’t. in retrospect, i realize i should have gotten closer to see for sure if there was a baby. and if there was, i would have said something for sure. I can understand why someone would *want* to leave a baby w/ the a/c running to hop in a store real quick but i would never do it. not even for 2 seconds.

i saw emergency 911 few years back where a woman did that at a gas station. she went inside to pay for the gas and a lunatic stole her car and drove off w/ the baby inside. he later dumped the baby in a ditch by the highway and kept going. luckily the baby lived. It’s just the dumbest thing any mother or father could do, imnsho.

enthusiasm… ‘n stuff..

I’ve been feeling some renewed enthusiasm for my job this week! wooot! it feels really good to come to work and be happy about it instead of that feeling of dread I have been getting every day… Yesterday and today have been different….

I guess you can say that i have not really been “at work” since early last year. at about 6 months pg, my energy was nonexistent… and i did nothing .. and i mean NOTHING. I was surprised nobody called me into their office to have a “talk” with me about it. I guess everyone sympathized with me. who knows.. i was falling asleep on my desk every day and when i was awake, i just had no drive to do anything.. then i went on leave for 3 months, which was a relief because i didn’t have to feel guilty about not doing a thing around here anymore. After coming back, though, and to my surprise, i found that i really didn’t have much drive then either.

It usually takes me a long time to adjust to change and maybe it had somethign to do with the big changes at home, the fact that i have to leave at 3pm no matter what i’m in the middle of doing or having to interrupt my day twice a day to pump (i don’t do that anymore, thank god) or still feeling drained because my hormones were all over the place still or sleeping little and having no time to just lay on the couch.. who knows. It could have been any or all of those things but what i *really* thought was happening was that I was just getting burnt out at this job.

But thank god! recently i’ve gotten a couple small projects, really dumb stuff, and now i have a new more interesting and important task to do. maybe this is the reason i’m feeling better about work? or the fact that i’m taking a walk with jada every day and it’s really works at clearing my mind and helps me unwind, or that i’ve stopped breastfeeding for a month now and my hormones are normalizing because of it or the fact that i get to sleep for 6, 7 hours straight every night… whatever it is, it’s working.

Now with my renewed energy… I find myself on this mission to organize my daily work life. Not concerning myself with home/finances/etc right now, just work. I got couple of good opensource type tools … they are not perfect but it is a start.. so far i have been finding things just about every hour that i waste time searching for even tho i’ve searched for them 100 times before. i have a mess of scripts even i can’t make sense of. etc… i won’t bore anyone with the details just know it’s all a mess. I’ve never done this for my work stuff before but I have to now. I have so many things to keep track of now at home that i can’t remember everything the way i used to.. :( i’m getting old… :(

in other news..
after we got most of the trees trimmed back and the floors refinished, yesterday we got out sprinkler system overhauled. It had not been working right since before we moved in here a year ago. Dennis had fixed the pump but that as about it. about half the sprinkler heads got replaced, and now we finally have working sprinklers!! woooo! they turn on on their own every day. i’m not sure how to explain it but every third night a different section of the lawn& yard sprinklers activates.. anyway, it works. maybe our lawn will begin to look better now.

i’ve threatened dennis with divorce if he doesn’t get some estimates for the stucco work asap! I really really want that all finished by june.

in other other news..
the dogs are happy again.. scully and bullet have been sleeping in our room with us again. they start out under the bed or on dennis ever growing pile of dirty clothes on the floor, and end up on our bed by the time i wake up in the morn. scully is in love with jada, and bullet just doesn’t like kids and already snapped at her once when she pulled his ear. (why do babies always go for the ears, anyway!?)
tela should be going to her new home tomorrow, i’ll give lab-lady a call sunday to find out how it all went.

the end

Tela found a home already..

.. that couple that saw tela the day we dropped her off wants to adopt her. They’ll be taking her home on saturday. I’m so so happy about it. When lab-lady told me, i felt this huge weight drop off my shoulders. She’s going to be really happy living with 2 corgies. :) And those folks seemed like *really* nice people.

woohoooo!!

I wish i could keep in touch with those people for few weeks just to get updates on tela, but i’m not asking lab-lady for their email address or anything. I’m sure she wouldn’t give out that info anyway.. Maybe I’ll ask her to give them my email address… dunno.

@home, bullet seems just fine. As the night went on last night, scully was the one seemingly having trouble adjusting. Believe it or not, she was wandering the house aimlessly for a bit. I kept bringing her over to the living room but she just kept taking off into the garage and laying on the big dog bed or walking around the house. i just left her alone after a while. As much as she didn’t care for tela, she seems a little lost without her now. How ironic. I guess she spent a lot of her energy making sure tela kept her distance… and now her job is gone. Scully is a retard. maybe she’ll stop being so crabby now.

i got some pork shops marinating and no idea how i will cook them… time to look online for a good, easy recipe.
