The oddly normal life of Clorie

 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 ...

 Some may do that for our Country and I have full respect for those putting their life on the line for our freedom. I would like to give my utmost thanks to all of the brave men and woman of our country.  That being said, whatever your job... If you are a parent, that comes first or it is at least some what of a priority in your life. In my life it is. No matter where i am at, my kids are on my mind, able to reach me, and I am there to tell them I love them, often probably more so than they want to hear it.  When your a million miles away, online is a powerful tool. I have a friend who's husband is overseas, but guess what. He is there at night "sleeping" with them over skype. He was "there" for the birth of their beautiful daughter and he calls, emails, and does all that as often as he can do it.  So I did not find it surprising that it had been nearly a month since my girls had had any kind of contact with their dad. When I seen he had added this person ...

 So today I had to have lab work done because of some medication I am on. I called last week to make an appointment and was told I did not need one, just the work order sent in from whoever needed the work done. So I had the dermatologist call in my lab work order Tuesday. Today, Friday was when I had to have the blood work done. The lady on the phone was a bit rude with me last week, but I blew that off as no big deal.  So today I get to the Dr. and I go to the front desk "Sign in" she says. I try to say I am there for labs, and "SIGN IN" She interrupts. So I sign in and continue to stand there so I can tell her the reason I am there... She is on the phone so I wait. "Just go have a seat, I will call you up." I again, tried to let her know I was there for labs when she shut the little door/window thing and went back to talk to a co-worker. Um. Okay.  So I sit down. Ten minuets pass and I can hear her talking to the lab lady, I hear her mention my name...

 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 ...
