Seven Quick Takes

So it's been a while and my life is all over Facebook anyway, but here we go.

I'm grateful for my new job, even though it's only temporary. My boss, who works out of town all week but lives here, has been wonderful about a flexible schedule and letting my family come to work with me. He listens and he provides.

For the first time in years- YEARS- someone thanked me from the bottom of their heart. It was all I could do not to cry. People. THANK each other. PRAISE each other. I felt like the Grinch whose heart grew three sizes that day.

Speaking of Dr. Seuss (kind of), the boys chose to watch "The Lorax" tonight. Someone please prescribe me the drugs those people are on.

This is the first time my oldest son has been on an overnighter. And as I was writing this I got a call from my daughter, who is with him on this overnighter, because it is at their grandparents' house. He's had quite the first time experience, which includes a broken DVD player, a spider on his face, and a lost tooth.

That right there is fodder for its own blog post.

My husband went out to get us some ice cream to go with whatever movie we were going to watch on Netflix tonight. Yeah, we're sexy that way. My husband just called me from the store and has informed me that the tire blew out on the van. And for some unknown reason there's no spare. So he's waiting on a friend to come from Millington to come help him. Why didn't he call my brother? He's right around the corner... Whatever.

Crap. That means that he's bringing company over and the house looks like a tornado came through it. Still. Because I have been at work. But I love my job. It's just that I haven't been here.

Crap. That means I need to go put my bra back on. Seriously, ladies, next to taking off your shoes after a long day you know that's the 2nd most relaxing thing you can do. At least, that's what all those memes tell me. Obviously they have no idea the struggles a woman of my... personality has getting those things on.

I'm done. Sorry, go read other ladies with more class. I'll do better next time.
