Lazy Days

So today has been a lazy day all around. I've been so sick all day and the kids have been mellow for the most part. It started to snow some which made me nervous since we're leaving tomorrow morning. I shudder at the thought of driving on back roads when it's all covered in icky white stuff.

My dad had the ringer off on the phone. I told him to never do that again unless he wanted the local police out there visiting them. Mom is home and doing well. She's on pain meds as well as her other 5 meds she takes. I hope they own stock in the pharmacy. Lord knows they spend enough there.

Note to all out there: Never watch 30 Days of Night at midnight when you are staying at a cabin in a rural area and there aren't blinds on the huge patio doors that someone could easily break into. I think I slept maybe an hour that night. The squirrels keep running up to the doors trying to get in and when they bonk their heads, I have a coronary. It's been fun. Also, the phone up here in the cabin has rung on three separate occasions with no one on the other end. My horror movie mind goes right to the bad place: some one's calling the cabin to see if anyone is there and hey now, a woman answered the phone. Maybe she's alone? Maybe we should stop by. Ack. I didn't answer it after that. I made the husband do it. The first couple days when I answered, it was telemarketers. That was rather interesting. Good times up here.

One more night then we're going home. The kids are excited to see Gramma and Grampa. I'm excited to get back to work, crazy as that sounds.

Hope everyone has a great Easter Sunday.

This Has To Be Said

I haven't blogged in 8 months. We bought a house, still unpacking, school started. You know, life. I felt the need, the urgent need to blog about the Adrian Peterson situation today. I am full of all sorts of feelings and had to write about it. I would love to hear your thoughts on this whole thing. No really, I would. I don't feel I was a douchebag in my writing so all I ask is you not be a douchebag in your response. Thanks. My thoughts on the Adrian Peterson situation (but first, some backstory): I was spanked as a child. I'm pretty sure most of us that grew up in the 80s were. Until the summer between 5th and 6th grade I lived in Charelston, SC and from 6th to 11th grade, North Chicaco, IL. I have seen every form of discipline doled out on a child. I've seen spankings, beatings, hairbrushes smacked into heads, spoons hitting the tops of heads, whips, belts and even switches. I've seen it all. Most of you know that my son is named after a little boy who

This, That and The Other

I can already tell that Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to suck ass even more than it normally would at my job. Last night, a guy was telling me how much he gave me, how much he was supposed to get back and THEN told me what order to give it back to him in. Um? Sir? I'm not a twit, ok, I am a twit, but I'm not an idiot. Ok, sometimes I can be. Like that time I moved up to Wisconsin in the middle of a blizzard from nice, warm Tucson, AZ for a dumb boy and we broke up less than two months later. Yeah that sucked but my point is: I've been in retail, just about every job one could have except store manager, for about oh, 19 years. I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to giving change back. Don't talk to me like I'm a 16 yr old kid who's working his first job and doesn't give a shit what kind of work ethic he has. I care about you as a customer but when you're a dick to me and pissing off everyone in my line so they are dicks to me ? Well,

Trish Needs.......

I did this cause of Suzi, whose page I read religiously - check her out here . I'm going with the top 30 Google responses to "Trish needs" because SO many of them are related to wrestling of which I am a fan but not capable of doing without killing myself and/or the other person (unless it's the husband in bed but we won't go there. No. We won't. His sister reads this! Hi Steph!) I've decided to add commentary where I feel it's needed because, well, because I can. 1. Trish needs to always be in control of the situation and her men (amen to that my friends) 2. Trish needs to get this card off as soon as possible 3. Trish needs to do some serious damage control 4. Trish needs your help (help packing, help mentally, help with laundry, help with Monkey Boy, etc) 5. Trish needs to come to OPS and talk to all counselors & supervisors 6. Trish needs a makeover ( I don't think it's THAT bad!) 7. Trish needs an intervention (I do not have an Oreo pr
