Knock Knock

 A little boy who was a customer of mine the other day, thought I was funny. He was looking at mom and grandma through his binoculars and they would make a funny face, so when he looked at me, I guess he didn't expect me to make a face, but I did. Because I was so funny he wanted to tell me his newest joke:

 "Knock Knock" Who's there? "Impatient cow"  Impatient cow wh--- "MOOOOOOO"

 As much as I am sure a book about nothing but the odd, and funny things my kids say would be interesting, I also think a blog about things said, and done at work would be a best seller too. Today for example. Bossman was cooking pasta, I noticed it was about to be overcooked and since he was interviewing someone, I drained his pasta... Later to gain the recognition needed I let him know. "Thanks for draining my noodle, Clorie" Over heard from a customer by Bossman this very same day "I've never been called a cracker!" If only the customers heard half of the things that have been said... LOL. Thankfully they don't.

 Life has been crazy. Kids have been well behaved despite my lack of good parenting... Fighting and all that still. The house is always messy none of them cleans up after themselves wroth a damn. I also went from having a part time job,... to working 30 hours to make my health insurance stay active, to now working nearly 40 hours a week this month. I got a raise, so more hours just makes my check that much happier... but still. I feel stretched a bit thinner than I am used to and its hard.

 My mom has left Don and I am caught somewhere in the middle somehow. I love Don, he's been like a father to me for quite a while, hell he's more of a father than my "dad" is or has ever been... So of course I still want him to be a part of mine, and my childrens lives...but he's still really sad about my mom leaving and has things to say that are not so nice about her, and well quite frankly she's my mom... and I love her no matter what and don't want to hear it.

 So I am stuck in the middle, stretched further than I think I want to be, I need a nice long day off, without kids. Anyone want to come and babysit for me? No? Didn't think so. Ha! I'll get through it, but I hope a girls night is in the works for some time soon.

 Why is it when you do something wrong, people will point it out, over and over and notice every detail, but the things that you do right... They go unnoticed for ages?  Training at work this week has been tiring. I have been super busy so its hard to actually train someone... I have to get my tables taken care of. I have the kids just getting into the swing of things with school, and training myself to go to bed early has proven unsuccessful. I basically feel over worked and under slept. As I mentioned on facebook I think there are plenty of hours in the day... I need more hours at night, to work with....  Kids are all adjusting well to school life again. Still going to sleep easily at night, which I know wont last so I am enjoying it while I can. I cannot believe I have a child who is a sophomore this year. I am still not believing that actually.  Tomorrow is super busy, we have Dr visits, I have blood work done, Girl scout meeting to attend and then a split ...

The pitter patter of little (annoying) feet!

 I remember when my kids were little and innocent and said super cute things. It still happens sometimes, but not nearly as often. They no longer pitter patter, they clomp. Things change, kids grow.  Luckily I still have my little neighbor girl Adriana. She comes over to play with the big kids quite often and is almost always a hoot. From taking her to the "lime berry" to just silly things she says. Tonight was one of those nights.  I have not slept much and wanted a nice relaxing bath... As I am headed in there, Adriana asks me what I am doing... I tell her I am about to take a bath. "can I take one with you?" Uh.... I have  a vision of myself as Micheal Jackson...No baby, you cannot take a bath with me.... So I am in the tub, and after a while Tim came in to bring me towels... So he was in there visiting with me, and Adriana knocked and asked if she could come in... Tim told her no. "Why? Because Clorie is NAKED??? What are YOU doing in there TIM!?" ...
