What? Random crap? From me? No WAY

Well, I didn't bring work home tonight, but I stayed late.  I only worked 10 hours, and was out of there at 6.  That's not bad for busy season.  I had only TWO breakdowns today.  Again, not bad for busy season.  Seriously, I'm OK, but the stress is higher than ANY job I've ever had.  I strive on it, though, and I accomplish more than ever.  I'm sick.  I know.

Today's volume of "Where's Russ" starts at QuikTrip in Oak Grove, MO.  I stopped there for a white chocolate cappuccino and I think I saw him hovering near the Hotzi sandwiches.  Then, I saw him outside with some friends:



Then, tonight, I was in Raytown, MO and I'm pretty sure I saw him at 63rd and Raytown Rd., hiding behind the billboard on the hill.  Have you seen him?


I am loving Kid Nation, the reality show for kids.  I know of a couple of kids on there that could use a good spanking, but most of them impress the heck out of me, with how they act in the absence of adults.  Taylor needs a spanking.  "Deal with it!" (anyone who hasn't seen the show won't get that.)

I will be teaching online classes for work next year.  I'm excited and nervous at the same time.  I think it will be a great experience, and highly stressful.  Thank goodness I'm going back to Myrtle Beach in February.  Yup, there's a payoff to the stress.

My kids are so funny.  I could tell 100 stories, but there isn't the time!  They are on the honor roll, and they help around the house, and they are SO funny.  We are a warped household, and we have warped senses of humor, so they fit in wonderfully.  If that's not enough, we can laugh about a fart joke for an hour, or burp the alphabet to the delight of onlookers. Yeah, we're special like that.

I get my "sick check" next week.  Where I work, we get paid for any unused sick time (40 hours per year.)  For perfect attendance, you get a gift card of some sorts, too.  I don't know what it is, because I've never had it, but THIS year, it's MINE!  The girls are getting older, so fewer sicknesses, and Kevin's busy season is opposite of mine, so he can stay with them when they're sick, sometimes.  Plus, I have a mother nearby who is a GREAT help.

Anywho, next week is "sick check" week, and I'm so excited to have a week's pay on a non-pay week.  That's the good news.  The bad news?  Kevin's truck needs tires.  *sigh*  He HAS to have 2 tires, and honestly needs 4.  Goodbye, sick check.  *sniff sniff*  I'm just thankful that the sick check enables the buying of tires.  I don't know what we'd do, otherwise.

OK, time to go, but one more thing:  I think I just saw Russ running down the street outside my house, wearing a pair of stone washed jeans and a K State T-shirt.  He was barefoot, too.  Dude, it's cold outside.  Put on some shoes.

Remind me never to take a blog break without updating you directly!  Kid Nation?  Really?  You should have watched "America's Next Top Model".

Too bad you had to work late tonight of all nights. There was the best sunset I have seen in years! Enjoyed it from Grain Valley all the way to Raymore!  I like Kid nation too, except for Taylor!

Russ has been under the weather, lying on my couch watching TV and drinking some vile sort of canned power drinks by the dozens.

Russ is in town for the cowboy game. Since you can't see the game anywhere else in the country.   I saw him at the airport.
