My weekend is going pretty well. Went out with my fiances family to celebrate his new job (YAY) on Friday night and I even managed to eat pretty well. Kept it at about 1700 calories for the day. I am usually such a cheater when we go out to eat. Today I accomplished my mission and spent a lot of money at the Clinique counter but it was worth it. Boosted my self esteem 100% and I was needing it desperately (and I looked pretty too!). I hope everyone else is having a good weekend and a good SuperBowl Sunday as I will be avoiding a trip to my future sister in-laws house.

Hate to be a downer but my weekend is pretty crappy so far.

Well, to start it was decent...I quit my job on Friday. Gave two weeks but my boss had a replacement in touring the office before my shift was done. Classy, that one. So By the end of my shift I was officially free. I won't go into details about why I left right now because there's a lot I'm really ticked off about and this would turn into a HUGE post if I did. Let's just say I found out that my boss was talking behind my back to the office staff and then being a two faced *BLEEP* and acting like everything was perfect to me. I had rescheduled an appointment the day before I gave her my notice and the first thing the receptionist said to me when I came in the next day was that my boss was pissed that I did it without calling her first and that I was going to get written up for it. So when I called to give notice she was like, "Oh so you were job hunting yesterday" And I said, "No actually I wasn't" to which she replied, "Well where are you going?" I said, "nowhere. I'm staying home with my daughter." It took everything I had not to go off at her on the phone. I probably should have but I didn't. I just thought that was really a rude thing to say.

So see..that's just the tip of the iceberg...it might seem petty but with all the other stuff that's happened it is HUGE in my eyes. I'm better off not being there.

So then I was feeling fine about all that. Came over to my sister's to babysit overnight and we got a call just before midnight sayng my brother had another seizure. He's at a hospital in Seattle now and I haven't heard anything more. I just tried to call everyone's cell phones but they must all be inside teh hospital because they all go straight to voicemail. I don't know what is going on and it drives me nuts. I am so tired but I'm wide awake. I hate this. I hate that it has to be happening to my little brother (he's 25...not really so little, I guess). I hate that it has to happen to anyone. I hate that I can't be there right now. I hate knowing that these seizures (not to mention the brain tumors causing them) could take my brother from us and his daughter at any time.

Okay...sorry to depress you all. I just needed to get that out of me. I hope you all have a much better weekend than I am and have a little extra fun for me, okay?

Hugs...

Sarah

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. He will definitly be in my prayers.


Your boss sounds like an ass. I'm glad you have another job to go to. Hopefully your luck will turn for the better.


Hugs,

We went to the "21'st annual custom motorcycle show" at the Baltimore convention center. It was a TOTAL rip-off. We paid $35.00 just to walk in the door! There were some really great looking bikes there, but it was not worth paying all that money just to get in! There were vendors there

Deb - I read in your post you went to the Baltimore convention center. Do you live in Maryland? Just curious, I am in Bowie.

Sarah - Hate to hear about your weekend, but although you went through that bad stuff with your boss at least you don't have to put up with it any more. The advice I hate hearing the most is it will all get better soon but it does! Best wishes to you!!!!
