Bubs & I enjoyed some time in the courtyard drinking adult beverages. he has interview #2 Tuesday. I'm proud of our lil' man! #alldressedupgoingoninterviews

the last day of April....

had to sign into my blog this a.m....then get a verification code from google....really? just so I can rant on line? yesterday was a hurry hurry day to get to a MANDATORY PCAI info class. took a pepsi out of habit and took a chug everytime I got pissed off....it was about gone when they released us, then got caught up in the inevitable sidewalk bitch fest with fellow disgruntled, disenfranchised employees....I was hearing MUST come in earlier mornings. MUST come in on days off if training is at your barn. MUST MUST MUST. but I took the scenic relaxing cut thru to get there: less miles, but have to drive slower on twisty gravel roads, so I never ever do it, but just needed something different, rediscovered several beautiful photogenic spots if Kate is ever in the mood for a photo shoot again.

starting taking the plexus pills....a very unpleasant side effect while my system is being 'cleansed.' I may not survive it. exhausted beyond belief. not feeling the energy all the plexus dealers on facebook rave about. Katie is talking to me again. enough to demand supper, anyway. KJ has an interview at Calhoun Monday evening....history teacher and basketball coach. If he gets it, he'll have to move. (sad face.) Avalanche DOES need a new trasmission. estimate $2100. still have this awful cough. and coughing up green stuff again. somehow got my phone set on military time. can't figure out how to fix it. Kate got her old iphone back and got into kevin's verizon account and turned it back on.

now off to work early to walk risers so we can wean and I can be 2 holes short for wn, and 1 pen short for BP gilts, and 8 crates short on gilts rec'd Tuesday....fuck the working mom life. fuck it all to hell. you would think hanging out with pigs all day would be relaxing, eh? wrong. 100% stress and annoyance and pissed off ness. all that + a steady paycheck.

came home to an empty house.....

just me and the Cuddles. KJ has an interview for a teaching job at Calhoun next week. Katie is fishing. Kevin called me at work...he got us tickets to the Bears game and a hotel room for our anniversary...will be celebrating a week or so late....I've been customizing my sweet ride....

I feel guilty.....

my kids are not home....I put the dogs out in the kennel cause the kids bitch about them so much, and it is nice not watching out for puddles and constant barking....and the kids can leave their doors open. but I feel mean. tonight was the school play. Katie quit drama last year. she disappeared tonite. was she in the play? going to the play? she's not talking to me. don't know. I used to take Katie to the school play every year when she was young. It was our 'culture.' We used to go to events at Trenton at the Rose Hoover Theater. and local concerts. We really enjoyed the community orchestra starring Grandma Janet. We always said we'd go to the ballet and to roller derby. she has already announced she has no interest in going to Chiefs games with us. Our kids collectively hate the zoo. No one wants to go anywhere with us anymore. even with the bribe of a meal. Walmart used to get them out of the house....now Kate is embarrassed to be seen with us in public and KJ works there. They don't need rides to the pool or the movies or the park anymore. They just need gas $ and a vehicle. anyway, back to the play. I should go support the brave drama students, yes? it would be a pleasant outing. but it feels weird going by myself, especially if my kid isn't in it. so, yes, I've missed the last two plays. and I feel bad. those kids work so hard. and it is just plain fun watching them act. I am just a stay-at-homer. if I don't have to go to work or the dr. or the dentist or the vet, I'll just stay home.

facebook memes that made me giggle, snort, contemplate, and see the world in a whole new light.....
