The oddly normal life of Clorie

  So Pawlie, the cat who has his leg amputated last year I guess, has it been a year? Not quite I dont think. Regardless, he's doing great. He gets around well, his only problem is itching that one side of his own head, he will lean over and move his "stump" but nothing happens and he looks a little irritated.  So last night I see pawlie "sitting" in the bathroom. He sits a little oddly seeing as how he does not have a back leg. This sit though, seems to be a squat to me... Although I am not sure. "Tim, I think the cat might be taking a piss on the bathroom floor." I say. So he goes in there, "DAMN CAT" He says as he picks the cat up, and unlike what would normally happen, Pawlie continues to piss... So my husband, HOLDS HIM OVER THE TOILET AND ALLOWS HIM TO FINISH . Only Tim. So yesterday my cat, took a piss in the toilet. Lovely eh? It was great though, I needed the laugh yesterday.

 How are you? I get asked it by almost every table that sits in my section at work. They don't really want to know. They want to hear  "Great, and you." Ive discussed this before. But today, when I heard someone ask me I just wanted to cry. I said "great, and you????" With a smile on my face, because well this is work, and you put your game face on, do your job and make money... but how am I? Really?  I have had the hardest 2 weeks, of my life... So far. That is how I am.  My teenager is being a teenager. picked up at 2am by police, that phone call was nearly the end of me. Not knowing where she was an entire night. Got a tattoo, yeah... A tattoo. I tell her dad, who is immediately pissed. Then her trip to Indiana has been taken away as "punishment" from this man, and this woman who are hardly in her life. This crushed her, and her sister who does not want to go if she doesnt... It also crushed me. First off, to be hurfully honest, because that is ...

 Some day she will have children of her own, and she will call me up and tell me what she is going through. I will listen and I will give advice and on the inside I will be screaming "HA PAYYYYYYYYYYYY BACK"  Without going into detail, my teenager is driving me crazy. I give very short, simple rules I am not super strict and even the small simple 2 part rules I ask of her, she cannot follow. So I have decided I cannot do anything that causes me to go above and beyond for her any longer. Meals, a warm place to sleep, and things to clean herself and clothes along with love. That is all I am by law entitled to give. Until she can give me extra, she gets no extra from me.  The rules I have set are:  Text when you change locations.  Be home or inside where your staying, by 11pm  I want to talk to a parent, of the friend who's house you will be at for the night, and I would like that friends address.  Tonight I did not get one of those things. Toni...

GOOSE! I used my health insurance card today. Saw a doctor. Not because I was sick, not because I was pregnant but because you should SEE a Dr. to make sure you are indeed healthy! Which I am, he says.  Feels good to be grown up. YAY!

From the police station.  D-girl was staying the night at a friends. A friend who has a bit of a not so great reputation in my eyes already anyway. Half way through the night I started having a "mom-dar" feeling that things were not quite right. I texted D-girl (name changed to protect the innocent) and asked if she was alive, she said yes. Still before I went to sleep my "mom-dar" was going off. I fell asleep anyway... Until 2 am.  RING RING.... RING RING... Number I do not know but its 2am and two of my children are staying the night out so I answer. This is Denise with Rogers PD. Do you have a daughter D****y D****n? O M G if you are ever out of coffee, just have the cops call you telling you they have your daughter. You will wake up quicker than having downed an entire pot through IV fluids. Trust me.  Of course they cannot tell me what has happened, or even if she is okay. Just where she is and that I need to come and get her. Of course I have to tell the...

 There is a fine line I suppose for "sexual harassment" If anyone were to be a fly on the wall at my work, I am sure we'd all be taken to court for charges of it. I think if all parties involved know its joking its okay though right? We were talking about one of the "big bosses" at work and I said that I was his favorite, because "I am teachers pet" To which a co-worker (male of course) heard "I gave him head" So the new joke is that I am "teachers pet" which everyone who was there that day knows what it means, and people who were not, do not. Its fun, and its funny. I currently really like everyone that I work with, we get along... We joke, and play and it makes the day so much more enjoyable than it is when your constantly walking on eggshells to keep someone from being upset with you.  So its the weekend, I really need to mow the lawn but its so flipping hot outside I don't wanna! I have yet to really use the ghetto mower I...

 So today was a pretty much uneventful day. Work was crazy, as Wednesdays always are for whatever reason. Its like everyone in that little town thinks pizza sounds like a fab idea, on Wednesday. Not sure why but I think we should like raise the price that day only or something.  Jim like "The Jim" of Jims Razorback came in this afternoon, right as our first tables came in. So he helped to make the orders... Out of 4 tables, he screwed up 3. That is right "Jim" himself apparently cannot read tickets. So that was a lot of fun. They were not my tables, but I found myself out there explaining the issues to everyone. Which I did not mind going out there and blaming it all on Jim. Ha.  After our madhouse rush, and clean up it was time to go home. To my messy house. Tim and I worked together, got ALL the laundry done, bathrooms scrubbed, kitchen living room laundry room, bedroom hall and bedroom closets all cleaned out. I feel that much happier just knowing things are ...

 I got my insurance card in the mail Saturday. I am now covered under health, vision and dental insurance. Feels pretty good, knowing I can get ill, and see a doctor instead of just riding it out. Now watch I will stay healthy as a horse! :)

 I have enough kids. We all know that. Friday though I had some customers come in. Cutest little six month old baby I have seen. She was telling me how she had him at home (and he weighed OVER 11 pounds) I was amazed. I would have LOVED to have had a home birth. I think its so awesome, birth in general. Later on during her meal, baby got cranky so she started to nurse him. I was taken back to my nursing days... Being the only one that could care for the baby... The baby knowing that... Being the best thing in their life. The source of nutrition and love and the only one they really need. I realized I would never have that again... and I got baby fever. Nothing I can do about it (thank goodness) but it is sad to realize your past those days. I miss being pregnant and nursing, those gummy grins shared with only me... Milk dribbles. **SIGH**  While I post this my children are fighting and I am reminded of what those milky gummy grins turn into. HA!  So I guess I will jus...
