Weekend

It's Monday...well actually Tuesday since it is past midnight. I am counting down to my REALLY long weekend. IS that wrong??

I am way too stressed or depressed or something...I need the time off.

Ballet

Today was Victoria's first day back to ballet and prejazz for the year. Isn't she cute???

First Day of School (Belated pics)

Victoria's Hair Cut

Victoria got her haircut last Thursday afternoon. She looks so cute I just had to post some pictures.

The Scribbity Scrub Lady

Tonight the Scribbity Scrub Lady called and one of my scrub lab coats has come in!!!! I am so excited. She is coming to the Valley tomorrow with my lab coat. I CANNOT WAIT!!! I love good news on a Monday. :)

Monday Madness

Monday is always rushed for us. I have to run to work right after Victoria gets on the bus. Today we added to the classic Monday moments with this little gem.....


I had been awake most of the night with a horrible migraine. Let the record show I still have it and it has NO signs of letting up. Anyways...I went to get Victoria up and she was still sound asleep and in no mood to get up. I was so sick and so sleepy I ended up laying down next to her...thinking I could talk her into getting up...turns out both of us fell asleep...we woke up at 7:15am...she had 20 minutes until the bus and I had to be to work and at my desk by 8am. Everything from this point on was a blur. My daughter got instant oatmeal (don't judge me...it could have been worse) I got a glass of water and 2 extra strength advil since my Zomig was doing nothing. I made and packed her lunch....found her pencil case which for some reason was in her toy kitchen's oven...I have learned sometimes it is best not to ask. I got her dressed and helped her do her hair. While she was out getting her shoes and putting her lunch box in her backpack I washed my face and started to brush my hair....then I heard "Mommmmmmm the bus is HHHHeeeerrreeee.....Hurry pwease.." I manage to throw my hair into a pony tail and rush into my room to grab scrubs...thank goodness scrubs come colour coordinated!!! I quickly put on some make up and run down the hall grabbing my keys off the table on my way by. Victoria is waiting by the door. As we get outside the bus is already at the stop down the road. I throw my purse in my van and we RUN!!!!! Here comes the classic moment. As we are running to the bus stop Victoria loses one of her shoes...but she keeps going. When I stop to get it she yells "MOM LEAVE IT THERE ISN'T TIME!!!!!!" I started laughing grabbed the shoe and followed her. I laughed even harder when I saw Austin yelling for Victoria to hurry up and waving his arms like they are in a baseball game and he is waving her home. She got her shoe on before the bus stopped to let her on.

I think I will be laughing about this all week!!!

Happy Birthday Parker

Parker turned 2 last Wednesday. Today I took Victoria over to Emelie's to give him our gift. A remote control police car. You can judge for yourself if you think he likes it lol.

Hilton's Rules for Life

Tonight at work, one of my favorite security gaurds shared his Rules for life. I cannot take credit for these. They are 100% Hilton's but I have decided to adopt them. They are as follows:


1) Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

2) Poor planning on your part may result in my annoyance and thus not playing well with others.


I may have the wording somewhat messed up but you get the idea. I have decided to become a faithful follower of the philosophy of Hilton lol.

Yay It's Raspberry Season...Again!!!!

Tonight while inspecting the garden I noticed most of the late Raspberries are ripe. They are so good!!!! I will have to go pick the rest of them tomorrow morning. Pie anyone????


I couldn't resist eating a few, or taking some pictures. Yummy!!

Strike A Pose:

What???

This past weekend was a girls weekend. I have some little "mysteries"

-Where did the white sand on my black shoes come from?

-How did I get a burn on my left arm?

-Where did my camera end up?

-Where did my earings and necklace end up?

-How did we get home from the bar?



Pictures are to follow...if you can help with any of the above points that would be great!!!

STOP STRESSING ME OUT!!!!!

I hate stupidity. I cannot stress this enough. Things have been very busy at work lately and RAS (random acts of stupidity) stress me out. I do not have the time to deal with stupid people, their questions and mistakes. Lately my goal has been not to yell and/or murder anyone in the run of a shift. The following is a list of things that you should probably avoid doing if you want to stay on my good side.

1)Unless you are my boss under NO circumstances are you to tell me what to do or how to do my job!

2)Do not call to ask my if I have fixed Meditech. I am not IS, I do not fix computers. I am not HITSNS I do not fix Meditech. May I suggest calling the large 1-866 help desk number glued to every computer, monitor, label printer and MFU (multi-functional unit....not swearing this time for once lol) in the facility.

3)Have all the info when you call something in to me. I am getting tired of being put on hold while you try to find it. Hang up....call back...I will be much nicer.

4)The bed check census...DO IT! This has been done since the dawn of time. It is mandatory and needs to be done by 2330 and not later than midnight. I am getting tired of explaining this process to you.

5) I am not your lost and found. Keep track of the things you need to do your job and DO not call me to try and find them.

I am stressed just thinking about this list....back to work in about 2 hours....Oh YIPPEE!! :P

The work week from...

Okay so this week is one I won't soon forget as much as I would like to. It has been nuts to put it nicely. I haven't been up for blogging lately but I am working on a couple of posts so hopefully I will have those up soon.

Cell phone update!!

I talked Rogers into a new phone!!! It is actually kind of nice lol. It works so thats is the main thing. I am slowly rebuilding my contact list. Text me or email me your number. My cell number is the same.

Off to a meeting....*sigh

Shannon if it wasn't for you I think I'd quit!

Shannon honest to goodness had you not been working with me tonight I think I'd quit!!! Tonight was an insane mess to say they least. And we are back to do it all over agian tomorrow.
See you at 1400 :)

SMILE :P

It makes people wonder what you are up to LOL
