I am so tired It's freaking rediculous!! Today began my sojourn into training the market's photo Assisstant managers as well as their department managers... (even though today had no dept. mgrs, only assisstants) All they kept asking me was why I wasn't an assisstant manager. My response? Come holiday time these assisstant managers work 2-3 times ( Read more... )

Sooo tired... *sighs* luckily it's my day off, but I'm about to drop. Poor Ethan had a rough night last night. He woke up screaming from gas pains... bad dirty diaper experience, and it totally screwed up his nighttime schedule. He was up @ 2 scfreaming, then woke up @ 4, 6:45, 8:30... then we gave up and got up to shower. We're all smiling but ( Read more... )

Ok, so I've been a slacker, but this juggling act is rediculous. We're finally starting to get a rythm of sorts and get our acts together, but it's tiring. My mental to-do lists are so much longer and more detailed then ever before it's truely unreal. we're working on it though. Cisco's had a few close calls where he's come down with something, ( Read more... )

Have you ever felt like you're a bit like Clark Kent / Superman (ignoring the obvious gender differences)? I seriously do. In the last year I've welcomed my hubby home for a break, then sent him back overseas, found out I was pregnant, gone through the whole pregnancy occurrance essentially by myself, got the hubby back and became the loving wife ( Read more... )

FYI: If you make the turtle shortbread cookies: They will in fact brown if you let them. I had to cook them a bit longer than the directions said. It won't hurt them either way, but I like the flavor of the slightly browned ones. They'll only brown on the bottoms, not the tops. Also, if you do the caramel and pecans bit to it all... BE CAREFUL... I ( Read more... )

There's an email recipe exchange I'm participating in. I figure I'll post the recipes I get back from that here in case I don't pass them along to everyone correctly as most people I'm emailing will see this too. Not only that, but anyone of you who I'm not emailing can also benefit. SO... I've got a few recipes I've been using this season, and my ( Read more... )

So now that things have calmed down I figured I ought to make a posting that isn't all about bitching about $$. I managed to pay everything so far... though my credit bill is a bit higher now. *Sighs* Not a big deal. We'll take care of it... little fianced bit by little financed bit. *smirks* I called my sisters i law and we decided that we were ( Read more... )

This sucks, so incredibly much. I don't want to have to go back to work, but I need to go back to work. Dad's even told me he could cover me, but fuck that, he's on a fixed income, he's buying a freaking house, and Ugh! This sucks. Turns out that we do in fact need a new radiator. Cisco was driving yesterday and it overheated. Justin went down to ( Read more... )
