Okay no not really...but here's the thing...I decided to book Friday off this week to spend with the boy (it's spring break here this week). As an afterthought I thought maybe the boyfriend might want to book it off too. So we put our plan in motion today and both our bosses agreed we could have the day off.
My plans were to eat lunch out, then catch a movie (the boy is dying to see Monsters v. Aliens) or maybe head over to the museum to see the cool dinosaur exhibit they have right now. Sounds great, right???
WELLLLLLLLLLL, when I told the boy about what I had planned this is the response I got:
The boy: But mom...Friday is the only day we are allowed to bring our DS to daycare...that is the only day I really wanted to go this week...I need Zane to help me beat that level on my new pokemon game.
Me: Well can't you do that some other Friday?
The boy: Urgh...mom....you know we are ONLY allowed to bring our DS on inservice Fridays and we won't have another day off school after this week for like months....so I HAVE to go on Friday.
Me: Okay...so there is nothing I can say to change your mind then? You want to go to daycare on friday?
The boy: Well...I could go and you could come get me early...
Me: Like you want to go for the morning and I'll pick you up at lunch time?
The boy: Wellllllllllllllll...that might work....
So, I'm leaving it alone for now...I'll still take the day off...afterall I need to prepare for all the houseguests I have coming next week (wow how did it get to be here so fast...I could have swore I still had plenty of time to prepare!). I wanted to purge some closets before my relatives all showed up. Maybe we can do something fun on Saturday...that is if the boy doesn't have other plans *insert eye roll here*

Some People Really Just Don't Get It!
A little bit of background...
Okay so at work we spend a fair amount of time in the lunchroom just generally chit chatting during coffee breaks and on lunch. I've worked the same job for 5 years...so I've gotten to know quite a bit about some of the girls I work with...what their life is like outside of work...and also heard many stories about their friends and family.
Well there is one particular woman that is a friend in common with a few other girls....still with me??? I've heard about this woman time and time again and honestly feel like I almost know her (weird eh?).
Well today there was a story about said woman that is like no other I've ever heard!
Let me ask you a little common sense question here...
If your child had lice or some other contagious childhood annoyance...I'd say disease but is lice really a disease...anyway, would you take said child to social events previously scheduled...say like a birthday party...how about 2??? Wow! Can I just say that if your child showed up at my son's birthday party and had lice I would be pizzzzzzzzzzzzzed...beyond belief. I was so mad for those poor unsuspecting parents...and I've never even met any of these ppl.
Now don't get me wrong...I know that when we were growing up parents often had 'chicken pox parties' so that they could get the chicken pox done and over with (back then there was no vaccine...imagine that?? lol). And I'm all for such an event...IF every parent involved knows that your child does in fact have chicken pox and realizes that it will likely spread. But to bring your child to a birthday party and swear her to secrecy...that is just un-freakin-believable. Mother of the year?? I think NOT!!!!

What the heck???
So I came into work today fully expecting to slack...in fact my Facebook status currently reads "It's Monday and I don't feel like working...that's right I'm a slacker!". Sounds perfect, right? I mean T is away on holidays...he's the lawyer that keeps me most busy...the other two are pretty independent women...but when T is away I know that I have plenty of time to slack. He's requested that I clean out his office...but I'll get to that at the end of the week...lol.
There's only one little teeny problem with my slacking plans...what's that you ask??? Well it seems blogger decided that I couldn't (or maybe shouldn't) slack today. I can get on the site and I can read all of your blogs no problem...but for some reason I cannot comment.
So therefore I am on strike from reading any of your blogs until it's fixed. I can't just read and not comment...it's not in me!!!! I could read now and go back and comment later...but that just seems like sooooo much work.

Mark My Words...
I am never again going to get groceries on a Saturday afternoon....at I guess what is now the 'peak' time for shoppers....I hoped it was late enough in the day to avoid the chaos....but alas...that place was a freakin' madhouse!!!! But as you can see I AM here posting....sooo we did manage to make it out alive lol.
On another note we gained a kid tonight...we seem to gain this kid quite frequently and I love it...the boys play so well together. I just have to ban the videogames in the morning because they can't seem to play without hooting and hollering...BOYS!!! lol.
I'm settiling in for some good drinks...
peach snapps and orange juice = fuzzy navel....YUM. I haven't had this drink since I was like 16 and sneaking drinks in my water bottle! But the boyfriend suggested it...and who am I to pass up yummy girly drinks.

Yet another letter...
Dear stinky old man...
Do you really lack common sense??? When stepping into a full elevator....why oh why did you have to choose that precise moment to 'let one go'. That was rotten (literally) and not to mention completely and totally disgusting. I get enough farting at my house with the boy and the boyfriend...I swear it's in all men and boys...and you've just totally proven my theory.
Next time you feel that urge coming on...for the love of god...do NOT get on the elevator.
Thankyouverymuch!!!!!

A Letter
Dear Co-Worker,
I understand that you are completely stressed out with your job...contrary to popular belief I am a very sympathetic person!! BUT please do not beg me to 'help' you with your work...which I have come to learn really means 'do all your work for you'...when you are going to turn around and spend all your 'now free' time complaining (to mostly me...but also anyone that walks by and decides to make eye contact with you) about how stressful your job is!!! Not to mention all the time you spend on the phone with family and friends...I don't judge...I know I get personal calls from time to time...but the difference is I can still manage to get your work done...AND mine too! How is it that I work for 3 lawyers and you work for 1...okay I know he's a workaholic...but come on...stay off the phone and maybe you won't hate your job so much...please...pretty please.
