Hopefully nothing comes up next week....my regional manager is on vacation 🤭 I called my favorite brother and asked him "on a scale of 1 to 10, how are my shit stirring skills?" He laughed.

I saw this on Facebook today and it made me laugh: Being a parent is like jumping out of an airplane with a bunch of people who don't know how to open their own chutes. So, you fly around doing it for them. Then you hit the ground, but you don't die. You get up and cook dinner for them. 🤣🤣 This would be me!

Rainy season... Freaking thunderstorms!

I like Nine Inch Nails, I'm just not as familiar with their music. They were a 90s and 2000s band. I was starting a career, getting married and trying to raise 2 kids with shit for income back then.... priorities! 😆

Slight rant/bitch session ahead. My biggest pet peeve is people interrupting me when I'm speaking, especially if I'm trying to explain something. I was on the phone with someone in our accounting department (let's call her X) trying to explain where I thought a mistake had been made by the previous manager on one of resident's ledger. She would not let me finish one damn sentence. Not even when she asked me a question and I was trying to answer her. Soooo.... I hung up on her. She called me back a few minutes later and asked if we got cut off by accident. I said nope, I hung up on you. I told her I don't appreciate being interrupted and then I started to say that I wanted the common courtesy of being able to finish a sentence. Well guess what? Yup. She retaliated and hung up on me mid sentence. I really hope she's not waiting on me to call her back. Then I get an email from her saying that instructions will follow as to how to submit the changes on my end of month report and that all future questions relating to resident ledgers should be directed to my regional manager. Fine by me. Grrrrrrrrr... I just took a little walk, calmed down, and I'm gonna head home in a few. My boy should be home between 8-9!

Damn girl.... exactly how big is your purse? 🤣 (But really... congrats on the new truck!)

So true! I visited Dachau when I was young. It was the most sobering wake up moment I've ever had. No one group or ethnicity should ever be singled out like that ever again. The only other place that has ever evoked such strong emotion from me is the 9/11 memorial in New York. Both places brought me to tears.

My older son just texted me. They're hoping to be on the road by 1:00. I'm so excited to see him and his girlfriend..... but so bittersweet too. I know moving away is part of growing up and being an adult, but it's different when they're no longer a reasonable driving distance away. (Although if push came to shove... in an emergency I'm pretty sure I could turn a 20 hour drive into 15 or 16. Five minute bathroom stops, eat in the car and no sleeping) We've got some fun stuff planned this weekend. He wants to teach his mom how to shoot, 😳 so we're going to the range tomorrow. I also got us all tickets for a comedy show at the local venue that just reopened. Plus dinner out for my younger son's birthday (which is Monday), most likely a sushi place. I'm not a fan of sushi, but his birthday, his choice. There's always other things on the menu. Pretty sure I'll go over budget on the calorie count, but I'm at a place where I'm not going to stress out over it. I'm in control of my choices and I have the tools I need to make a better choice. So no fried foods or stuff covered in cheese or heavy sauce. Maybe just a bite or two of birthday cake! I hope everyone has a good day!

I really do love all the theories you guys come up with (sometimes I wish I would've thought of it!) You'll just have to wait and see I'd you're right or not!🤐

Rainbow anything is a pain to do if you want the color uniform throughout. However..... if you want to 'cheat' you can always randomly drop some food coloring into your batter and swirl gently with a knife to create a random rainbow. (I've done this with cake batter before) 😁🌈

Thanks! I love knowing that my readers can feel the emotions I'm trying to convey. When you write, it's hard to know if it's coming across the way you want it to.

This is such a sweet story! I agree with all the previous comments. Maybe these two will show up again sometime? (Without Bill, he's a douche) I wish you would've posted it on Renee's contest blog. Thanks for sharing it with us tim!

Thanks, there's some lighter chapters coming up. These guys certainly do have a lot to deal with!

Thanks molly! It was challenging, but the way the story unfolded in my head made me chuckle. Definitely hard to whittle down to 1000 words!

Oh Kitt! There is so much wrong with how that barn manages things. I think you should try to bill the owner. Worst case, they say no. If there's one thing I've learned in my current job, it's that documentation is key. Going forward, if you go back to that barn you should (and have every right) to demand that every person who prepares/handles/feeds your horse sign or initial what they did/how much/feed type (whatever you feel necessary)and what time it was done. Ranting is allowed and perfectly acceptable here. And you sure as hell have a damn good reason!

Thank you! My thoughts exactly on the heaven idea. I think I'd much rather be driving the express train to Hell with my head out the window screaming 'woo-hoo' than spend eternity with a bunch of religious fanatics.

I do rather like your sense of humor!

They do a have great relationship developing. Tacos... mmmmmm. Jett's a cop. Pretty sure he's going to drill gun safety into Kyle's brain. (Not to mention drilling of another kind 🤣😜) Sex vs tacos? After 50 it's tacos all the way!🤣🤣🤣

They do pretty well together don’t they? 🤭

Thanks for the compliments, it's rewarding as an author to know that his/her readers are engaged and truly enjoying the story. BTW... do you ever sleep?😆

I totally agree. (Errors fixed)

Really Wayne? Really?

Probably just as fiercely as a momma bear!

Yeah....I don't think I could do the bridge thing. But a plane.... maybe.

I'm at least in the age bracket where my first car had a cassette player. 🤣
