Well, I'm off to Books A Million again today. I need new reading material again. I heard about a service online similar to Netflix but for books. That would probably be a lot more cost effective for me. I can't remember the website. Let me know if anyone out there has it!I've really enjoyed reading lately. I enjoy spacing out and getting lost in someone else's world. Probably because I don't overly enjoy my own sometimes. I have always said that I couldn't imagine being a stay at home mom, but I'm beginning to wish that I was. I miss my little boy so much during the day! He's at such a fun age!
I wish I could find a real work at home job that isn't a scam. But, I can't even search online for one because all I get on search returns is a bunch of scams! That should be illegal to even advertise them!!
Work has been so busy this morning. I can't stand when people wait until the last possible second and realize they need something right then and there. That infuriates me!!! This guy in particular is usually good about stuff, so I'm not really mad at him, just the situation in general I guess.
My son has started understanding when to interject certain words into conversation. It's really cute, except that the newest of these is the word "no" which is emphatically inserted into conversation. Sometimes it's hard to keep a straight face!
He's also gotten to the point of throwing tantrums. His little lip pokes out and his eyes well up with tears. I am totally laughing inside while I try to let him know that isn't the proper way to behave. And I swear if someone tells me that I should get down on his level one more time I'm going to scream!!
I also have another little rant. I can't stand it when someone calls (at the last minute mind you, after I have plans for the day) and wants to come over. Since yesterday was a holiday, I reluctantly agreed. This said person was supposed to be there around 3:30. I was running behind on my shopping trip and was frantically trying to get home for this visit, and wouldn't you know it....said person drops by around 4:30 and stays for a whopping 5 minutes! Landon mentioned that Garrison hadn't had a nap all day and was kind of cranky and the visitors said they would go and let him nap. We assured them that no napping was going to take place if they left, but they left anyway. Now tell me why I cut my shopping trip short? For a 5 minute visit in which the people were 1 hour late??? I just don't understand why people don't value my time and think that I have nothing better to do than wait around on them. I made it known that I had to cut my trip short too. I do have a life, and I'm so sick of people not realizing that!!
Here's the most infuriating part. For the last 2 months, every weekend we have pretty much been home lounging around on the weekends and no one ever wants to come over then when I have nothing at all to do and when I could actually visit. Hell no, they come when I get off work and I'm trying to cook, feed a kid, feed my husband, take a bath, prepare for the next day, etc. My lord people! Get a clue!!! And people wonder why I'm a bitch. |

Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
