What a shit-ball day
I'm not 100% sure where the term "shit ball" came from, but I think it was from Dad. It really sums it up well, too. Being gone to conventions is stressful, but being at work while OTHERS are gone to convention? That's much worse. I am filling in for 3 people, plus doing my own work. I'm a crabby patty. OK?
The girls had a rough day, too. Natalie missed bringing home another assignment. She had to stay after school because of it. A Honor Roll or not, the stakes just got higher. No electronics when this happens. Homework, reading, or bed. Those are the choices. She has a book report due on Wednesday, and it's done tonight, so something positive came from it...I guess.
They've both been warned, so we'll see if it improves.
Dad came over for water tonight. They have a well, and the water is too "hard" for the coffee pot. Seriously, hard water kills coffee pots quicker than anything. Anyway, because of that, they come over once a week or so to fill up on "coffee water." Dad showed up still dressed from a funeral that they attended.
The first thing that Monica said was, "Look, Grandpa has on fancy shoes!" I said, "No, honey, those are funeral shoes." We all got a good laugh at that, especially when Dad laughed and said I was right.
Poor Kevin. He's had to offer out hugs and love while we all gripe about our day. We've got go get some testosterone in this house. The only other males are Simba the cat, and Hawkeye the dog, and their testosterone source has been cut off...literally.
OK, tomorrow is another day. I got WAY more votes on my poll than I expected. Either some of you voted more than once, or I have readers that I don't know about. One person commented that led me to add a new journal to my bookmarks! I love new journals. If someone posts less often than once a week, I may not keep them on bookmarks forever, but it's great to check out a new one.
OK, on with the night, which will end with an early bedtime. *sigh* For now, though, life is good. Home is safe and warm and loving. Ahhh, home.

Another post
I have a lot of vices, and overeating is one of them. My biggie is salty/crunchy snacks. I could go for weeks without sugar or sweets, but don't get a bag of Doritos near me, or it will be gone.
What's your guilty food pleasure?
Another weekend comes to a close.
I did it! I stayed in all weekend without my cold nose so much as poking out the door. Kevin left again today, to pick up Monica from her friends house, but not me. No sir. Here I sit, getting fatter by the moment.
I'm not saying that I made bad food choices this weekend, but the chili is almost gone, and there may have been some chips consumed. And some pigs-in-a-blanket. And possibly some other stuff. But you didn't hear that from me. Tomorrow, I'll get back on track. I've been doing great, but I let it go for a couple days. It has to do with the cold.
The Patriots are 18-0. Who will they play? I hope Favre pulls the Packers through. I would have preferred the Colts, but that dream ended last weekend. Football is almost over. There's always Nascar following on the heels of the Pro Bowl, though. I'm destined to have something to keep my arse on the couch on weekends.
OK, off to change positions. I don't want to get bed sores. Maybe I'll doze off again during halftime. I managed about a 45 minute nap during the Patriots game. I'm really good at napping. Back to work tomorrow! I'm glad I have a job. If I didn't, I would weigh 500 lbs.

Warm in my blanket
I was right...I didn't leave my house ONE time today. It's just so miserable out there. I made a big crock pot full of chili and Kevin made corn bread to go with it. It was so good! I ate too much, though. I've been doing really well, lately, so I let myself have today to cheat a bit. Still, I didn't do as bad as I used to on weekends.
Monica was invited to spend the night at a friends house, so when Kevin drove her over there, Natalie went with them. They called to let me know that the two of them were going to run some errands while they were out and the truck was warmed up. The got a prescription filled, then headed to WalMart.
As they passed the assortment of cut flowers, Natalie had an idea. She asked if he thought any of the people in the hospital (they passed it on the way to the store) would like to have some flowers. She wondered if there was anyone who hadn't had a visitor in a while. Kevin let her run with the idea, and they bought two small bouquets.
At the hospital, they went up in the elevator and found a nurses station. The nurse got tears in her eyes when they told here the mission, and she recommended two older ladies, both of whom were feeling really down. They couldn't visit with one of them because she was in isolation, but they visited the other. She was so sad and saying that she just wanted to go home.
She really appreciated the flowers and the visit. The nurse said that in all of her time there, she'd never had that happen! Leave it to my big-hearted daughter. That's just how her brain works.
Me? I'm glad you asked. I was sitting on the couch watching 30 Biggest Celebrity Feuds or something...under a blanket. *sigh* Maybe I should take a lesson from her.
