A Touchy Subject

 How are you? How was your weekend? How's life?

 When you ask a pretty much total stranger any of those or similar questions, your not really wanting an honest answer. Or a full answer. What we look for is "fine" Or "great!" Its just better to lie and say those things normally then go into detail about how you really are, or how stressful your weekend really was.... Or life. Do you really want to get me started on life???

 Normally I mean it when I say "Fine!" or "Great!" but today, today I got to go through the motions of pretending I was fine and great, because I know no one really wanted to hear, how I really was... So why do people ask? I do it to. Its normally the first question I ask a new table that has sat down, and half the time, after asking, I don't have even the moment it might take, for them to tell me how they REALLY might feel. I too, hope for a "Fine" or a GREAT. Not a real explanation of how they were... So why ask? I guess its polite. Small talk. You ask, and you get lied to, they ask and you lie back... I guess that is how small talk works.

 How am I? Don't ask. I am holding up. I am making it. I am getting on. No one wants to hear those things, and even those, at this point are lies... So how am I? Just don't ask. Oh and don't tell me you know how I feel, because you are not me, and you honestly... have no idea.

  1. You can always talk to me about anything. I am a fairly good listener and I won't judge you. :)

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have L

Sleep IN Sundays!!!

My kids know this rule. For the most part. Sundays Mama sleeps in. Get yourself cereal, be quiet and get along... Then I go and do something foolish, like allow 3 of 4 kids to have a friend over, which makes SEVEN kids in one house. One of which, apparently did NOT know the sleep in Sunday rule, even in the SLIGHTEST :o/ Of course when one kid wakes up, or at least this kid wakes up. ALL the kids are up. This did, help my ease of getting them all in bed this evening, but even so! ACK! The weekend went well. We spent time together at the park. All but Destiny of course, who has her own life now. I took some pictures I really liked. I am too lazy to post them here. If you want to see them you can go here. www.flickr.com/clorissasue Anyway that is all I have for now. I started a new blog, you can see it here . It will be for cooking, and recipes and such. This one will be kept for kids and life and bitching :) Just what I needed. Something more to do :)

Call CPS this must stop now!!!

 My daughter, my oldest, the one I am a taxi for has had a ride to AND FROM several places where she was supposed to catch a ride home from this week. The library, she said she had a ride home, then the ride "left without her". The mall, I told her she'd be picked up by Tim when he got off work, and they were COLD and her friend had FLIP FLOPS on and no one came to the mall so can I get them now... She stayed the night at a friends and instead of waiting for friends mom to bring her home, she HAD to be picked up by 1 so she could go to a friends...  That friends? She was supposed to walk HOME from and she called for a ride.  So today it was lovely out. 65 or so out, sunny. School was out and Tim had to get the other kids first, as he stayed for a play Hannah was in... Well he did not pick up Destiny. I told her she could walk. For 30 min. I am NOT KIDDING 30 MIN. She sent him and I text after text asking to pick her up.  PLEASE I will clean, I cleaned my room, its &qu
