Feeling Frustrated
Drama
So much drama, so little time.
I don't know what to do with the drama going on around here, so I'll just go fight someone on Mobsters, and get over it.
I've been on the phone most of the night (I'm on the phone for a living, so this is NOT my favorite evening activity) and I'm tired. I'm feeling VERY old and VERY tired. Too much drama.
Please, someone save me. If I liked baths, I'd ask for Calgon. I'd rather have about 12 beers and go to sleep, only to wake up tomorrow with all of this gone (other than the hangover.) It's not going to happen, and I'm not drinking beer, and it's not going away. OK, that was a redundant sentence. Anyway, time for life, right?
This entry is going nowhere. See ya tomorrow.

Feeling Enthralled
I'm a mobster
I am on facebook and myspace (drop me an email or search for fierro6 on either if you want to be friends) and I hate the apps. I mean, there are a couple that I find fun, but mostly, they get a bunch of nonsense sent to you. I typically avoid them.
However...
I am completely hooked on Mobsters on myspace. It is crazy fun. I'm knocking over convenience stores, fighting people, and paying doctors laundered money to heal me. What has happened to me?
I guess I should be glad that I only have time for this crap on Sundays.
Got a myspace? Wanna join my mob?
I'm just sayin...

Feeling Thoughtful
So....
So. Here I am. The girls are in bed. Kevin has been asleep for quite some time.
I get aggravated. Things bother me that probably shouldn't. TV ticks me off. The dog ticks me off. The cats REALLY tick me off.
Why am I awake? I think it would be best if I went to bed and started over tomorrow. I'm a bit too ticked to stay awake. Yeah, I should go.
Good Night.
Grrrrr.

Weird commuters
Rusrhi asked whether the whiners I talked about yesterday were customers or coworkers. I was complaining about coworkers. After all, I get PAID to listen to customers whine! LOL
I followed some weird commuters today. First was the igloo man. I don't know what he was hauling, but as I passed, I noticed that they appeared to be plastic, and hollow. I have NO earthly idea what they were, but they looked like the makings of a giant igloo:
Later, I was stuck behind a tractor hauling 2 big hay bales. I wanted a good shot from behind, since the driver was hanging off the side of the tractor to see around the front bale, but my batteries were complaining, and I had to change them. What I got was them turning into their drive:
City folks don't get to see things like that, do they?

Feeling Frustrated
Holy Crap.
For six years, I worked in a day care center. Two of those were as an assistant director. I've taught 2-year-olds through school-age kids. I've done everything from developing my own curriculum to teaching and everything in between. I've bandaged owies, given breathing treatments, and helped toddlers get to sleep at nap time.
After today at work, I can honestly say that I've never dealt with such immaturity or so much whining in my life.
*sheesh*

The yard...
I'm afraid I've married Hank Hill. I didn't know it when we got married. Honestly, we rented for the first 10 years of our marriage, and when a yard was involved with said rental, it was the size of a postage stamp.
3 years ago, we bought our first home. His first, and my first. We have a big yard. Kevin likes to mow. He mows regularly, and then stands on the deck to look over it. Then, he turns to me and asks, "So, what do you think?" It looks good. It always looks good when he's done with it.
Saturday, the yard needed mowed, but Kevin worked in the morning, and it rained a bunch. Sunday, we unexpectedly went to pick up the girls (yeah!) and got home too late in the day to mow. Tonight, I came home and saw this:
Natalie asked me earlier tonight what was meant by, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." I answered to the best of my ability. Now, I can give her another example.
We can't afford a nice, new mower, but Kevin found one at a garage sale. It's perfect, and worth more than we paid. We can't afford a bagger, but we have this "yard sweeper" that used to belong to my uncle. I have no idea how old it is, but it's probably as old as me.
I came home to see him, after a day at work, mowing and "sweeping" his yard. He then started in on the bank with the weedeater, and is now (it's almost dark) taking care of the ditch.
Bless his heart, he loves to have a nice yard.

Concerts and plagues
Well, the concert was awesome! The meet-and-greet with Keith Anderson was fun, but I was talking when my co-worker snapped the shot of me with him, and it's a hideous shot of me, so it won't be appearing here. That is disappointing. Here is Keith later, though, on stage:
Today, Kevin and I ran some errands and on the way home, I noticed something VERY strange. Going through the river bottoms, a little frog on the road caught my eye. I started to pay more attention and they were EVERYWHERE! I'm not exaggerating; there were hundreds of little frogs everywhere you looked.
The more I saw, the weirder I felt. I asked Kevin what on earth would cause so many hundreds of frogs to be on the move at the same time. He raised his voice and practically yelled, "IT'S A PLAGUE! DON'T YOU READ YOUR BIBLE?" Ha ha, honey.
When we got home, I saw that they were all over our yard, too. Here is one of them that I picked up to prove it:
They are all this size, and they are literally taking over the world, or something. Oh yeah, on a side note, Kevin said that if I told anyone, he'd deny seeing any frogs at all. He's such a supportive husband.
**edited to add the following**
I think I have a pretty good theory about the frog plague. (frogedemic?)
A frog is 12-16 weeks from egg to frog. We had the flood that filled the river bottoms with water. That water is gone now. The poor things are now fully frog-like, and their home is gone! Poor critters. I think I'll go down and shoo them toward the river. It's the right thing to do.
I'll be back in 3-4 months. That's how long it will take to round up all of them!

Feeling Happy
Thursday, 'N Stuff
So, I'm working OT, Kevin is working OT (the difference is that he gets paid for his.) Mom has had the dog 2 out of the last 4 days, and she'll have him again tomorrow. Sorry Mom.
Tonight, we had a "beer in the garden" at work. I didn't drink a beer. More on that at another time. We had a great time for an hour or so, and then I headed home. There is some great local gossip, but I suppose I had better keep my mouth shut. I have to live here, right?
Tomorrow is Ya'llapalooza! I got in on 2 ticket-hits, netting 4 tickets. Then Kevin won 2 tickets and a back-stage meet-and-greet with Keith Anderson! WoooHooo! That left me some tickets to gift upon someone. What an awesome feeling.
This time tomorrow, I'll be enjoying some awesome music, and my meet-and-greet with Keith will be history. I can't wait to tell you about it. I just wish that my girls could go. *sigh* It's kind of a tradition for us to go together.
OK, I have to go to bed now. It's been a LONG week!

Feeling Quiet
Returning to some semblance of normalcy
Where have I been? Here is the multiple choice quiz of the day:
a. Having the time of my life over the holiday weekend.
b. Suffering two days of depression over disappearing relatives.
c. Working 10-11 hour days.
d. All of the above.
I have a lot of pictures from the 4th for a later entry, but you've seen a ton over on Mom's journal. Happy B-day to her, too!
Also, I won't mention what was used to make noise at Mom's place, but J.J. Walker used to say it all the time on Good Times.

I'm HOME!
My flight home was even better than the flight out. Boss-man talked pilot-man into a 360 on my behalf. It was awesome! I'm glad to be home. Peace out!
