yeah....

I am home now and can write without you know who around.....grrr..kinda made me mad because the other girl is always on My Space or checking her email and he never says anything to her.

Also I had to practically beg for my vacation which he promised me when I started.

See I was up for a 2 week vacation at my previous job, but he needed someone right away. So I told him I would come to work for him but did not want to lose my vacation....he said no problem.  Just get me through this rough spot and I will let you have 2 weeks vacation from day one....

Then I never got a winter vacation.

He started asking the other girl when she was going to take her vacation.  Never asked me,

Rick called me at work to tell me when his vacation was so I just told him that was when I would be taking a week.

He kinda laughed.

I told Rick I am going to take a vacation.

Also I was suppose to get a raise after I got my license...

Got my license in March....so far....no raise.

Getting on my last nerve.

Then the other day he embarassed me in front of a room full of customers by saying I am always talking.....um just because I have a personality.....

So I quit talking the rest of the day....very hard for me to do......but you want quiet.....I can give you quiet.

Not as much fun........in my opinion...

We have no sound in there except for the humming of the computers .

He even yells at the birds if they get too noisy outside.....

absolutely no music....except when he decides to sing under his breath or make noises.

OK TMI

I will survive..

 

hey you guys

Hello everybody!

Just a quick update seems I don't have much time to write anymore.  I am so busy lately.

With what you ask?

Well let's see.

Monday through Friday I work 9 to 5:30.  I am off for an hour for lunch.

I don't really know if I like my job that much only because I never have enough time off.  I wouldn't mind doing this part time or even if I had one day off during the week.

I am not complaining it is just that I have no days that I don't have to wake up early and can just be lazy.  Not to mention the fact that I need a day to catch up on housework.  Right now I am at work and pretending to write a policy just so that I can say Hi. :).....so Ann if you are reading this.....you know you do it too LOL

Anyway....

I am doing ok.  I go to my Moms on the weekends and that is when I should start writing you guys.  Maybe I will start a weekend update. :)

Anyway she is doing ok.  Just started taking a new medicine and she has to take 1000 miligrams in the morning and 1000 miligrams at night....

Damn....boss just came over to spy on what I was doing and put a shitload of filing over there for me to do and told me to get busy....

so bye.

MOTHERS DAY

OK.....I know that you are all wondering what I did on Mothers Day....so I will tell you.

I stayed up all night the day before and made a huge banner that stretched all the way across her kitchen.  I painted it and put all kinds of flowers, hearts, dragon flys etc. around the border....it took me 2 and a half hours.  It said

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY I LOVE YOU!

She woke up in the morning and didn't notice it at first....I don't see how..LOL

Anyway when she did see it her eyes got really big and she just smiled so wide.

When did you do that? she asked.

Last night I said and she just smiled.

I made her breakfast and gave her the present I bought her.  I bought her a gown because I knew it was something she would use.

She loved it.

I had some flowers delivered later that afternoon.  They were beautiful.

At lunch I made her pork chops, mashed potatos and pork and beans.

She lives on Meals On Wheels and take out.

She loved that I made her a home cooked meal.

I hinted around about the picture thing....but since she has lost most of her hair, she does not like the camera these days. So I didn't push it.

But I wanted to SO BAD/

Anyway all in all it was a nice day.

We watched church together on tv..her church is televised.

She is too weak to go out much.

She thanked me about a million times for all I did.

I was just glad to see her smile.

Thanks for all your great ideas.

Love you all and I hope you had a WONDERFUL Mothers Day.

I did.
