Wow it has been over a week since I have been bloggin. I have been reading but not writing! Work is crazy, so much moving around of people and it is super busy so I have not been able to check on line. At home the computer was having issues and when it wasn't the kids drive me crazy bugging me. They don't talk to you then when you pick up the phone or sit down to type they need a thousand things.

Bus ride was brutal. 3 1/2 hours this morning. Thank god I had a DVD player. I watched two movies. My back is killing me now.

God I need a hair cut. I am such a before picture right now. My eyebrows look like combination of bush women/spock. UG. I just don't seem to have the time or money to get it done.......

Started wrapping last night. Not a pretty wrapper but the kids don't care! I think I am about half done. Another while tonight should do it.

Put up my christmas tree finially. Did not do a lot yet this year. I just hate the taking down stuff. Such a pain. But I guess I should get it together for the kids.

Can you believe that christmas is only over two weeks away. Does not feel like it.

I have to go eat my dinner and hopfully catch up on a few blogs tonight...

Take care my blog friends

Hi everyone,

Yesterday my kids went to their grandfathers house for a visit. My brother was up with his girls and one of them decided to come back to my house for a visit. It was nice to hang out with her, just the two of us.

She always wanted a hamster, you know while I am at it, I always used to pronounce it hampster but I found out there is on P.

Anyways, her sister has fish, turtle, crab, birds but she only has fish. Her mom adn grandmother hate rodents and did not want a hamster in the house. So I decided to buy her one and it will live at my house.

She named her Cloie. It is cute. My hubby is like, ok just to you know, you are in charge of the hamster and I am in charge of the lizard.

I just wanted to do something nice for my neice. What is one more pet to the mix!!! Queenie

Hello All,

Nothing much going on today. It is storming here. It is days like this were I want to move somewhere warm with no snow. I am not a good winter driver which sucks considering I live in the snow belt!!

I got my bonus information today. They paid me the same as last year. I did not get extra because I had too many sick days this year. I was like what ever. Not worth the argument. Besides hubby's work give them 25$ to their own store so I can not complain. It really covers over draft on our account, pays a few bills and poof it is gone.

I could kick myself in the ass, I did not take my garden decorations out of my garden adn now it is buried under snow. I kept saying "yeah I am going get to that" as I walked past them going into my house. Thing is I never got back to it! I will have to dig them out this weekend and box them up.

Have been reading some blogs today from work. I have to say I am one of those people who get discouraged when they are really long. Not that I can talk because some of mine are long too. But it is easier when people break them into paragraphs and use not all caps.

I am going to down load some pictures this weekend, hubby is gona help me out. I am not very computer savy. I can check my email and blog but that is about it. I do not have patients to search the net.

Kids are going to my Dads tomorrow to make cookies with his girlfriend. Works for me. I plan on working my ass off trying to catch up so on Sunday I have nothing to do!! ok good dream!! I have a cold I can not seem to shake which is dragging me down but maybe I will go to be early and wake up early. We will see......

Well I guess I should go for now. Email something deeper tomorrow....
hehe

I was going to work this morning and I was thinking about my mom.
I turned on the radio and this song came on. I think my Mom was sending me a message to know she was there.

Here is the words to the song:

“When I look up to the sky” by Train

When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips the ones we love
That have to say goodbye

And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won’t seem to let me go

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you’re here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I fell like I’m lost something tells me you’re here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

And every word I didn’t say that caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn’t have before
And every sunset that we’ll miss I’ll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away

And as I float along in this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that I hope will never leave

Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead
Instead it just feel like it is impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings
To see me over everything that life may see me
When I am hoping it won’t pass me by

And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me
There you are to show me

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you’re here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I’m lost something tells me you’re here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to update you'all on what has been going on since my last melt down email. First thanks to everyone for their support. It is very nice of you and it makes me feel better when I read your words.

I had my meeting with my supervisor. It lasted like 10 minutes. She talked about job goals ect then brought up being off on Monday. She told me she took away a vacation day from next year. I decided not fight her on it. It is just not worth it. She told me in the future to lie and say I am sick and not another reason or they will take off pay. What ever. She said try to come into work more often. I am like look I am not making any apologies or excuses. It was a shitty year, my mom died my baby was sick. I would do it all over again. I still put my family first and if they need me I will be there for them not at work.

So all of that stressing over nothing.

I feel better today.

Was thinking about cleaning today. Got some great advice about not worrying about it. You know it seems like sometimes it is all we ever do and we are never done. What is up with that? How do people keep their houses clean all the time? My daughter was asking me to play in the basement playroom. We set up Barbie’s and I said ok but only for a little bit because Mommy has to clean. She said mommy you always have to clean. Maybe I should clean a little during the week then so much on the weekend?

Starting to plan the kids Christmas party today. Trying not to get carried away. I am planning to have my brother and his girls help me organize and tidy up. Gracie keeps asking me to bring out the decorations. Hubby just collected the pumpkins from the garden this week!! I still have my mini grave stones there. Oh well another day…..

Ok just a quick entry to let you all know all is well in the life of Queenie…..
