Recap for the Week

Well this was a terrible week for me work wise. Monday morning was the typical start up from hell shift. 3 line checks needed to be done in an hour and a half (got them done but man that is a LOT of walking for 530 in the freaking morning!!!). Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Tuesday til Thursday at 1600 I had a terrible headache and felt sick.....but I mustered up the gumption to go in since they have no other QA staff to replace me. The day got worse but I felt better on Thursday since that was Monkey Butt Pick Up Day!!!!!

Yay Yay Yay!!!!!!

^_^

So now it is Friday afternoon and Jacob is napping. We had an eventful morning that began at 0607. He didn't go to sleep until 2210 last night. Everyone is always telling me he stays up late(r) and gets up early with me because he wants to spend as much time as he can with me. I always love spending time with him but 7 would be much better than 6!!! :=)

We made a mess...spilled Froot Loops and then ground them into the carpet; put stickers over everything; dug out alllll his toys and scattered them every which way; chased the cats; cleaned up after Jasper after he got sick on the carpet of course; went to the library and to Shur Gain to buy birdseed and suet; got a coffee and a treat at Timmy's; watched movies and then had lunch.

After his nap I think we are heading to the duck pond at Mount Allison and then the Waterfowl Park to throw some rocks off the bridge.

Great Day!!!!

Best Comeback Line EVER!!!

In summary, the police arrested Patrick Lawrence, 22 year old white male, in a pumpkin patch 11:38 p.m. on Friday night.

On Monday, at the Gwinnett County (GA) courthouse, Lawrence was charged with lewd and lascivious behaviour, public indecency, and public intoxication.

The suspect explained that as he was passing a pumpkin patch on his way home from a drinking session when he decided to stop, 'You know how a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one around for miles or at least I thought there wasn't anyone around' he stated in a telephone interview.
Lawrence went on to say that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purpose, cut a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his alleged need. 'Guess I was really into it, you know?' he commented with evident embarrassment. In the process of doing the deed, Lawrence failed to notice an approaching police car and was unaware of his audience until Officer Brenda Taylor approached him.
'It was an unusual situation, that's for sure,' said Officer Taylor.. 'I walked up to Lawrence and he's just banging away at this pumpkin.' Officer Taylor went on to describe what happened when she approached Lawrence .
'I said, 'Excuse me sir, but do you realize that you're having sex with a pumpkin?
'He froze and was clearly very surprised that I was there, and then he looked me straight in the face and said...
'A pumpkin? Shit .... is it midnight already?'

This was in the Washington Post...the title of the article was 'Best Come Back Line Ever.'

Behind in the Times

Well I just discovered that I am waaaay behind in this whole blogging thing. I stumbled upon this one when I was trying to comment on a friend's new blog.

Let's see......

I am now in a relationship and couldn't be happier. We don't get to spend a lot of time together lately though due to our work schedules. We work in the same damn place but you wouldn't know it lately. Jacob absolutely adores Nick and so do my family and friends. He is definitely a breath of fresh air. His family is amazing too; only problem is they are ALL Habs fans!!!! Oh well, no one is perfect!!!!

Jacob Robert is almost 23 months old. I find it very hard to believe that my baby is going to be 2 at the end of September. He is still the most amazing, bright, smart, handsome little person that I know.

I am still working in Oxford; going on 6 years in September. I love my job but the hours get to me sometimes. I don't spend nearly enough time with my boy but with the economy the way it has been lately I'm just not willing to risk all I have for a "maybe" job in town.

I'm going to try and make a more conscious effort to blog (more) regularly. Just keep reminding me if I don't okay??

Blah Blah Blah

......that is how I’m feeling right now.

Definition of blah would be :A general feeling of discomfort, dissatisfaction, or depression; Low in spirit or health; down

YEP I’m definitely blah today. Mopey would be another good word to use. Its just one of those days where I wanna curl up in the fetal position under a warm blanket and stay in the dark all day by myself. Of course, being a Mom, I can’t do that ……

So I’ve been napping when Jake naps, sitting on the floor and playing with him, eating when he does, etc etc. But inside,,,,,,I’m under those much-needed blankets in the dark.

In keeping with my mopey theme, I’ve decided to quote one of the most famous mopey characters I know….

Good ole Eeyore ……

~~The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, “Why?” and sometimes he thought, “Wherefore?” and sometimes he thought, “Inasmuch as which?” and sometimes he didn’t quite know what he was thinking about.

Winnie the Pooh

~~When stuck in the river, it is best to dive and swim to the bank yourself before someone drops a large stone on your chest in an attempt to hoosh you there.

Eeyore’s Gloomy Little Instruction Book

~~No Give and Take. No Exchange of Thought. It gets you nowhere, particularly if the other person’s tail is only just in sight for the second half of the conversation.

The House at Pooh Corner

~~Eeyore, the old grey Donkey, stood by the side of the stream, and looked at himself in the water.“Pathetic,” he said. “That’s what it is. Pathetic.”He turned and walked slowly down the stream for twenty yards, splashed across it, and walked slowly back on the other side. Then he looked at himself in the water again.“As I thought,” he said. “No better from this side. But nobody minds. Nobody cares. Pathetic, that’s what it is.”

Winnie the Pooh

~~”Good morning, Eeyore,” said Pooh.“Good morning, Pooh Bear,” said Eeyore gloomily. “If it is a good morning, which I doubt,” said he.“Why, what’s the matter?”“Nothing, Pooh Bear, nothing. We can’t all, and some of us don’t. That’s all there is to it.”“Can’t all what?” said Pooh, rubbing his nose.“Gaiety. Song-and-dance. Here we go round the mulberry bush.”

Winnie the Pooh

~~They haven’t got Brains, any of them, only grey fluff that’s blown into their heads by mistake, and they don’t Think.

The House at Pooh Corner
