Two mothers and two daughters were fishing. They managed to catch one big fish, one small fish, and one fat fish. Since only three fish were caught, how is it possible that they each took home a fish?

Undercover Boss

Did anyone watch it tonight? After the Super Bowl?

It was a good show. I cried. I am glad to see the CEO's get down and dirty and see how hard the employees work! Especially in Waste Management! The President actually got fired from one one of the jobs!

Now the President is going to make some changes in his company.

Tune in next week...it is going to be the boss of Hooters.

Toledo Police Class... Finally???!

It was on the news this morning that the TPD will finally be having a class for new officers. Jeremy is (should be) one of those officers. Remember back in 2008 when the he was suppose to be in the December 2008 class. That never happened and we have been waiting to hear this good news ever since!

Let's hope and pray that is happens this time!

Intro to Cheerleading

The CheerWorks Sparks All-Star Squad has a class, Twinklers, for kids 5 and under. I finally took Aubrey to check it out. I really want to start getting her into activities (cheerleading, gymnastics, dance, soccer) now that she is completely potty trained.

Her shyness and her fear of strangers is really upsetting me. The story...

I took her to the gym and we sat and watched the class for a little while. She kept asking me, "Can we go out there mama?" and "I want to do a somersault." I told her that we were just watching and next week when I bring her back she will go out there will all the other little kids. She, of course, wants me to go out there with her, which is not allowed (although I think it should be ok for newbies like her).

So I went into the office to sign her up for the month and I saw the coach, Britney, (my old coach) and I started talking to her and was telling her that Aubrey is SUPER shy. She was trying to talk to Aubrey and asked her if she wanted to go out there with her. Aubrey was not having it. Britney said that I could take her out there and have Aubrey see up close.

All the kids were on the trampoline and Aubrey wanted to go on the trampoline, but with me. Aubrey then turned to me and said "You sit on the stool and I'll go in there." So I sat on the stool and put Aubrey up on the trampoline and the other coach was going to grab her and pull her in there and Aubrey started FREAKIN' OUT! CRYING HYSTERICALLY! We just sat there and watched.

Aubrey started to get comfy being there, but she just wanted to run around. She wanted nothing to do with the class. I tried to get her to go to the TumbleBugs class but she told me, "I want to go home and watch TV." Ummmmm....NO! She is now grounded from TV.

In the end, I signed her up and I am just gonna keep going until she gets used to it. It may be 2 months and $70 later, but she is going to stick it out. I plan on taking her to open gym and TumbleBugs class as much as I can so she can get used to the environment and the people and GET HER ASS OUT OF THAT SHELL!

When we got home she put pn her tutu and practiced her toe touches. I know she loves it because she talks about it all the time. It's just when she gets in the actual situation she closes up. We also talked about if she goes to cheerleading and she doesn't cry, we will buy her a trampoline this summer.

Oher quotes from the night.
"I want to go to the dance party." (That's what she called it before we got there.)
"I want to go on the trampoline by myself. I don't like those girls."
"I want to go to real class not dance class." (I'm sure I'll go through the same thing for school.)

When I went to leave to go to lunch with my friend Friday afternoon, I found this on my car window! A parking ticket... for $25!!!

My street is not a curbed street and is a very skinny road. I then park in front of my house in the grass. Apparently, I am not allowed to park there because it is not paved. I can't very well park in the street because then I will block all the cars! It's just insane! Stupid Toledo!

Is this their way to balance the budget?!

I have 2 issues tonight...

First. I went to the gym tonight since I am fat and needed to workout. I had to send Jeremy to the store for milk, cat food, toilet paper, cereal and a few other food items. How would I know that he would come back with $155 worth of NOTHING! I can't send him shopping ALONE! He got:

4 breakfast bowls
Bag o' chips
5 pizzas (the little pizzas)
2 bags of pizza rolls
Gatorade 10 for $10
Milk (2% at that)
2 boxes of cereal
24 pack of toilet paper
Face wash for him
Shower gel for him

He also got:
Aubrey a tutu dress (which I have resisted because she CLEARLY has enough dress up clothes!)

Like I said NOTHING!! $155 later and I still have to go grocery shopping for actual dinner food!!! UGH!


Second. On Jeremy's trip to the grocery store, he bought a pillow. This is irritating to me because we have bought him so many pillows it is ridiculous! He says he can't find the right one. Too hard. Too flat. You would think that out of the six pillows we already have, he would have the right one already. Every time we are at a store and he mentions buying a new pillow, I get angry and ignore him.

Aubrey definitly needs this! All this girl loves to do is dress-up! I found this one at One Step Ahead (but it's out of stock). :-(

Anything for the Princess....

I have recently been thinking about changing Aubrey's room from Ladybugs to Princess decor. The process is slowly transforming. For Christmas, I bought two different colors of pink cubes to fit in her white Closetmaid Cube Organizer. I saw tons of cute princess decor at Hobby Lobby and planned on purchasing it.

BUT...

Recently, Aubrey told me that her favorite color is red, not pink. "Hellooooo, Aubrey, your room has been red ladybugs (other ladybug bedding) for 3 years now and now that I am changing it to pink, you want red?!"

"Well, since you are only 3, mommy gets to choose what you have in your room and you will love the new princess decor!" Now I am not talking about a disney princess decorated room.

Check out the adorable studded bed spread and pillow at Target!

Look at these cute pillow cases I found on Etsy.

What are your opinions on what I should do??

Seven years ago today...

I married my everything! Yes, we were very very young (not to mention 30 lbs lighter)! I mean look at us! Three days later Jeremy left to go to Iraq. It was the scariest first year of marriage.

Believe me it has not been easy! There has been a couple of times when I thought we weren't going to make it and a couple of times where I was like 'this drama is just not worth it', but after all those times, I can't imagine my life without him. I love Jeremy more than anything! Him and Aubrey are my life. I am happy to have a family with him.

Now we didn't have a wedding. I am very sad about that. You have no idea! I am hoping at our 10 year anniversary we will be at the slopes having a beautiful winter wedding.

I can't wait!

Technology Screw-Ups Day Two

This week has been crazy. My post prior mentioned fails in the Internet and then Verizon.

Today....

ADP screwed up and I didn't get paid!!! WHAT?! Yeah, so my car payment that I had coming out today...bounced. Good news is that the wonderful people at my work are working diligently to get money into everyone's account. Hopefully, I can get the bank to reverse the charges! (yeah right, Charter One sucks!)

Toledo is having a Technology Melt Down this Week!

Last night the internet was not working.... although I didn't know that and I restarted my work computer like 50 times to get it to work and it wouldn't connect to the stupid server!!!

Thanks Buckeye!

Now today... Verizon wireless is not working! Jeremy and I just got new BlackBerry phones and we thought it was us. According to FB it looks like a ton of people are not able to make calls or send texts through the Verison network!

What the F is going on?!

My Project Life - Week 1 Partially

I have been waiting until I got my Project Life in the mail, but I thought I would post some of my pictures today. I am missing a few photos, mostly because I forgot to take them and will have to back fill but there are photos on other people's cameras that I want.

January 1st - Aubrey decked out in OSU gear for the game!

January 8th - Aubrey is the most difficult person to get out of bed (besides her dad).

January 9th - Jeremy and I went on a party bus this weekend for one of my friend's birthdays. We all had to wear goofy glasses!

January 10th - Aubrey sitting around playing the monkey game on my iPod. She loves that game!

January 11 - We got our new refrigerator.

January 12th - Are these shoes not the cutest!? Although, I thought they were brown when in fact they are grey. I love my monthly shoe membership from ShoeDazzle.

My Drama for the Day...

Yup... I'm putting my drama out there because I am so tired of this crap and so pissed off. This girl has no sense of reality WHAT. SO. EVER!! She is a lier and a cheater who has nothing better to do than literally hack into people's life and cause drama!

I am so done!

I will apologize now, but I am just so angry right now I could puke. On top of all the other crap going on in my life, I don't need this!


If you read, read bottom to top. She is CRAZY!

Take Care. I could have been fine without your impression of the narrative of that night or your reply.

But I did clarify your email with three out of the four people present besides you and I. They DO NOT recall me obsessing over J or having the conversation you speak of about J. I believe that is always what you resort back to each and every time we get into a fight.

If I was drunk driving, well,... "FRIEND" or "FRIEND YOU WERE TRYING TO BE", maybe you should have called a taxi or taken my keys away, or not rode with me....just thought! But of coarse you state: hypocrite? Dually noted - I have bitched about people driving drunk.

As for the Army, well of coarse I speak about it, it is my job, my career, and my life. That's what I have and the majority of everyone in my life is military related one way or another. To include you were with all MILITARY people what did you think we would talk about? I could give a shit what your opinion of that aspect is. I also checked with the same 3 people and they said the majority of the conversation was military but we did talk about other topics.

J knew George was in the hospital, I spoke to him on the phone prior to drill the day it happen to George. He text me and wanted to bring his gear in. I just assumed you were right there when he was speaking on his phone, or you looked up his bill (seeing he spoke to me and would question it), or seen the text that he sent in regards to turning his gear in.

I am so sick of your statements about J there are all CRAZY! I did know Thomas, but I don't have a fucking clue who he is anymore. We don't barely speak! Regardless of what you care to believe or want to accept. Him and I were friends, maybe not best friends or super close, but we were friends. Your jealousy and statements ruined that.

And if you don't like who I am or the so called "drama" I bring to everything...here is a clue DON'T TRY TO BE MY FRIEND or DON'T TALK TO ME. And as for me taking Niki to dinner, I asked you to come meet up with us. Hey, I am sorry that my friend who got hit by a FUCKING SEMI asked me to get her out of her house for a few hours so she could feel alive instead of depressed.

I wish you well in all you do. I am not going to keep going back and forth with you.

You apologized one time the very next day. One time. Sorry I was still pissed that one time you did apologize. Obviously you didn't care too much to try to talk to me again. I haven't heard from you SINCE THAT NIGHT! I don't care if you apologized to everyone else. The only one that should have been apologized to was me. You pretty much made other plans when we already had plans weeks before, ditching me for dinner. Then, leaving the bar without me. Yeah, what a friend you are. Not to mention your drunk driving and getting me almost killed after yelling at everyone else for driving drunk. Hypocrite. It was suppose to be a fun night out but I think you are not capable of having fun. You have to bring drama into EVERYTHING! Yelling at Moore at the bar like that was immature. We shouldn't have even been threatened to get kicked out of the bar. The ONLY thing you know to talk about is Army and my husband when you are with me. Learn other topics of conversation.

If you really expected me to forgive you after one day... that's ridiculous. Would you have?? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Oh and how was I suppose to know George was in the hospital. DID YOU EVEN TELL ME? NOPE!

I was NEVER pretending about being your friend maybe you should own up and realize why you were trying to be my friend. Yes my husband is out of the army. Who cares? What does that have to do with me & you. But I know you are SOOOO MAD AND UPSET ABOUT IT. (Remember you told me that or were you too wasted). Why would you be upset about it? Because you will miss him? You act like you know him. You act like you know what he thinks and how he is but you have no idea. You do not know him. The things you feed me (like that night we went out) was complete bullshit. Why you talk about him like that is beyond me but whatever keep having your fantasies about him and trying to tell me who he really is.

I don't care if you two speak. If he wants to talk to a drama queen like you, behind my back.... who cares! And if it is that important for you two to talk, call him every day! I don't care. I know that he loves me and more importantly I know that I am better.

Keep being immature and thinking that I was pretending to be friend. I wasn't and I know that. You just lost a really great friend and friendship!

Really?

I deleted you because we don't speak. I apologized for how much I drank and for how I acted that night, not only to you but to all who was present that night. You are the only one yet to reply.

If we were "friends" and you would have gave a shit - YOU would have replied in someway, esp when George was in the hospital this past week.

And the only way I get a reply from you is because I deleted you from Facebook?

And not saying your recent post is anyway related to me, but if you think that I was "Using" you, I would love to know for WHAT?

Your husband is out of the army, there is no need for you to pretend to "want" or "try" to be my friend. It is highly unlikely we will ever cross paths again. If there is some function in regards to the military and you two are in invited, I will simply not attend.

So, you should be extremely happy that I am not a part of either of your life's. I can also make arrangements so that when Thomas drops his gear off, I am not at the unit. Just to confirm that you won't have an issue of him and I speaking.

Stressed the F*** Out

This week I have been sick and on the verge of getting fired from my job.

I got a call from my boss first thing Monday morning. He let me know that with evaluations coming up my numbers have not hit and he doesn't think that this is the position for me. I agree.

I am in a 'glorified' telemarketing position to sell public training. Yes, I do work from home and I will tell you it's not ideal situation. Yes, I still pay $400/month for babysitting. I do that so I can actually get work done. I would love to save money on babysitting by keeping her home but there is NO WAY I can work with Aubrey here. I don't mind my job at all but it is EXTREMELY hard for me to make the sales that I need. I am not a pushy person. I get the clients the information that they want and I follow up and follow up and follow up. People don't end up signing up for training with me. I have felt 'worthless' in my position since they changed my responsibilities mid-2009. I make calls but the calls never go anywhere and I get FRUSTRATED. I don't get the incoming calls looking for training like my co-workers in the office do, so I am out of luck on that resource. I love what I do and I love interacting with the clients.

My boss told me that they are looking to put me in an administrative position updating outside databases. Later, I found out that if I didn't want this position, the company and I would have to 'part ways'. I think that I would like doing this more so than the position I am in now. I have done this position before (along with scheduling of audits, preparing audit docs, processing post audit docs and invoices, and follow up calls - I did it all!) at the last company I was with. I am VERY VERY happy that they are giving me a chance to still work the company.

They want me to fly there like ASAP either next Tuesday-Friday or the following Monday-Thursday. Now I am stressing because I have to figure out what to do with Aubrey. Jeremy works 3rd shift so while Aubrey and I are sleeping he is at work. Hopefully he won't have a problem with getting off work. I mean she is sleeping when he leaves and when he gets home. She'll be okay, right?

You know I am JUST KIDDING right?!

Frustrated.

I am so frustrated with work today that I cried.

Cried some more.

And some more.

I think I might continue to cry...

For. The. Rest. Of. The. Day.

Conveyer Belt of Love

REALLY?!?!


This is the most retarded show I have ever seen! What will they come up with next?


It is actually kinda funny....

The East Coast blonde was probably the nicest girl even though she was a typical stuck up blonde. She gave this guy Erich a chance (and a second chance) and this guy was a sweet but old and not-so-cute.
