Okay so I'll go ahead and give you all fair warning now... I have had a crap week and this will probably be a crap blog... you know, Viv, whining and complaining, only in the end to realize she's being dumb and ungrateful... so if you choose to stay and read... I won't be held responsible

So let's see...

We'll start with Thursday... My daughter turned 11 Happy Birthday Punkin! I suggested to Rich that since we aren't having the kids birthday parties for a few weeks still, that we take them each, on their birthday, and do something fun as a family. I asked him what he wanted to take her to do, he said... very nicely, giving, adult-like and several times... that it was her birthday and to let her choose... so I did... she chose roller skating which is fine with me, I love to roller skate... Rich, not so much, but we go... blah blah, turned out badly, and I was pissed at him and she ended up feeling guilty and sad because he wasn't having fun...

I had to work like crazy all weekend, Friday night till 11 pm, back Saturday at 9 am till 6 pm, where my boss said I could leave when he did and then promptly left my ass behind at 5 when he left... Sunday all day 2 to 11 pm. At work Saturday, I spent all day putting together some spreadsheet, analyzing all the information from all the accidents in the store so my boss could email it to his boss, my boss, and his boss' boss.. or whatever, and we were the first store done and WAY early so he's looking pretty good cause he says I kick ass.

Monday was my sons' birthday! We went to sign the refinance papers with my sister... that is an hour and a half of my life I'll never get back, but I swear it's worth it if she gets the hell out of my house! When I picked my son up from Kindergarten he had this birthday crown on and then he wore it ALL night! To the lender to sign the papers, to the restaurant for dinner, he wanted salad and they sang to him loudly! You know when they get to the part of the song where they say, "happy birthday dear..." and your name goes here... well they used a nickname for his name, one we never use, so after they all left he turned and asked me if that was his name, and I told him it could be if he wanted, and he said no, how about... insert other nickname I call him that Rich hates.

I worked Tuesday.. lame meeting... then Tuesday night we are sitting in Mc'Donalds and my friend calls me to ask me how she knows if her water broke?? And I was thinking... cause the first 3 kids you had weren't enough of an indication :wacko: but whatever, so I go outside to have this conversation, thinking that not everyone eating probably wants to hear it, and tell her yes, that's what happened and to call her doctor. She says she did and they aren't answering so I tell her to call the ER and she does and a half hour later I get a call from her asking if she can drop her kids off for the night at my house so she can go have a baby... so of course I say yes. She has a girl my daughter's age, another daughter, age 7, and a son age 3... never been away from home before... but we handle it and it goes fine

So Wednesday morning... I have 7 people to get 4 different places by 8 am with 5 seatbelts... logistical problem, I'd say... but I press on... I get up at 5:30 am and shower with Rich and we put my son and her little guy in the car and drop him at preschool at 6:30 am when it opens, poor guy was the only kid there then I take Rich to work and drop him off an hour early, so I can carpool lane back home with my son to pick up the 3 girls and drop the 4 of them at school by 7:30 to have breakfast and get myself to work by 8 for my lame ass conference call. Ugh! Exhausted yet? Then I got into an argument with Rich... lame and SO over him acting like that... whatever~

Then yesterday... I talked to Davey some... and Hugs for my darlin and all of you! Then I got my palm read with Eric and it was crazy accurate, and I went to work till midnight and then on my way home... I am less than a mile from my house, I am supposed to get off on the next exit.. and they have it closed and are moving everyone down to one lane of traffic, so I have to go passed my exit and home to the next exit and get back on the freeway going the opposite direction to get home at 12:30 am

So I wake up a little late this morning since I got to bed so late... and I am rushing to get the kids to school in time and it's light blue shirt day, etc... and so I just throw on some jammies and go. After I drop the kids off, I noticed a policeman sitting right by the school, and I knew... anyway, I get pulled over and get a fix-it ticket for my registration being overdue... in my jammies... so I get back home and pick up Rich and drive him to work. So he sees the ticket, and me being the smart ass I am, and him being so... paranoid about how I drive even though I did some crazy dukes of hazard driving the other day when some lady tried to kill us and saved us... so anyway he sees the ticket and asks, "What's that for?" and I say, "For speeding in a school zone and not coming to a complete stop and driving through a crosswalk while there were kids in it..." and his comment was... "Did he say anything about the registration?" Way to ruin my moment!

Anyway so I drop him off this morning and as he is getting out of the car he asks me, "Did you hit someone?" So, I say,"NO!!!" and he says, "Well, someone hit you then..." cause there is white paint and a mark on my car, probably from some dumbass who doesn't know how to drive or park... in California, that is REALLY shocking!

SO anyway... the upshot of it all is... There is a new baby in the world, so welcome to it sister! At least I'm not in jail for overdue registration in my jammies, and I'm not off till Sunday... but I have lots of, people that love me and that I love back and I'm gonna try and quit whining now and smile some...
