Hey Caroline, I just wanted to say most people have a big celebratory dinner on New Yrs Eve....like we got takeout Chinese food last night to eat at home. The actual NY day dinner is more low key...just like the American NY celebration, the Eve is the big shindig lol

Vent is just that Rach is just so not a morning person these days & has major issues waking up in the AM. As if dealing w/DH cripplin' shufflin' along (his words ;-) isn't enough, since he's not an AM person either. Why does she set her alarm at 6:30 but not get up until I wake her at 6:45? And if u wanna spend 10 min in the bathroom fixing ur hair, please wake up earlier so ur not running around at the last minute late ROFLOL!


Ok, there done....thank goodness my younger dd is more of a morning person!

my turn...

Dh's company STILL isn't stable financially and he said there's about a 70% chance we'll get his next check on time (2/16). Okay so he's going to be on a business trip (for this !@#$!@#$ company) to Ethiopia when it's supposed to hit. Great, what if it doesn't and I'm stuck half-way around the world with two kids and NO money. He has set some wheels in motion to get money from another account but that check is supposed arrive Monday and it's an out of state check for $5000 which will take a week to clear. AAAHHHHHHH!

Then there's Evan... He just can't not do something... His cross-over dinner (Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts) is Sunday. We are supposed to make a centerpiece for our table. Fine, except dh didn't get the base (which everyone is supposed to use so there is some uniformity) until last night. Then Evan decides he wants to do Pinewood Derby (Cub Scout wooden car race where the boys have to make a car from a kit) and weigh-in is MONDAY! There are only three days between now and then! He has homework, the centerpiece 4 hours of swim practice, and a swim meet between now and then. I'm not in a position to help him and dh is leaving for Ethiopia Sunday in the middle of the dinner!!!!!! Accccckkkkkk! We laid all this out for Evan and he still insisted that he participate in the derby. I understand his desire... many of his Scout friends are participating and it's his last chance because Boy Scouts don't do Pinewood Derby.

And finally there's Megan... She goes into the bathroom in the morning locks the door and comes out 15 minutes later without her hair or teeth brushed. What the heck is she doing in there anyway? And why does she need to spend 10 minutes every morning brushing her hair. It's not like she's curling it or straightening it or styling it... she's only 7! Sheesh! Oh, and if I have to pick up her stuff from the bathroom again tomorrow morning, I'm keepin' it!!!

Oh but wait, one more thing... the gifted programming in our district... I was supposed to meet with the coordinator last week Monday but she had a family emergency. I tried to send emails for days and they kept getting bounced back by the district firewall. When she finally called to reschedule she informed me that a) we had to meet in the office because the cum folder can't be taken out of the office. b) if I wanted a copy of the contents of the folder, I had to pay 25 cents/page and have an admin with me c) they've started a new kind of standardized testing so she's not exactly sure how the selection/qualification process is going to work now. Evan is right on the border of making it and not making it so all of this could make a huge difference. Arghhhhh!

Okay, I'm done now! That's for letting me get this all out! Maybe it will help me keep my blood pressure down.

I know I don't post often, but I could really use a good "vent." It's about a co-worker. She takes everything so personally. A group of us were standing in the hall recently discussing a TV show a few weeks ago. It wasn't a show she watches. Anyway, just as she walks by, we have a lull in the conversation. She immediately goes to another co-worker and says we were all talking about her!! God knows we've got better things to do than stand around and gossip about her. Just because we happened to stop talking when she walked by, she automatically assumes it was all about her. And she hasn't spoken to us since that time. She won't even have eye contact w/ us. It's just so freakin' stupid. I didn't like dealing w/ this crap in junior high and I certainly don't appreciate it in a professional work place. I should probably just tell her to pull the stick out of her butt and get over it, but I don't even feel like trying to be her friend again. It's not the first time she's done stuff like this. Sad thing is we've worked together for 16 years!

OK, thanks for letting me vent!

My vent is that I just don't really feel well.
