Field Trip

First off, I just want to say that the next time Zach's class has a field trip, unless they are riding a bus, car, or something, I will not be going. ha! I went today on their field trip to the bank. The humidity is so high outside I thought I was melting. And I couldn't go home to take a shower before coming back to work. :( So I feel like I don't smell the greatest!! haha!! Zach, of course, was so excited that I was going with him. He wanted to hold my hand the whole time. Usually I have to force him to hold my hand when we go somewhere. I was so proud. Needless to say I looked like a drowned rat and will probably be in the newspaper next week! OH JOY!!

Until next time.....

confused....lonely.....???!!??

I don't know whether I am lonely from Chris not being home or what....I had the worst dream last night. Well it wasn't bad or scary or anything...just something that I shouldn't have been dreaming. I am not going to go into detail or anything about it. I just know that I am starting to miss Chris a whole lot. And apparently he has no service on his phone so I can't talk to him. :'(

Saturday I get to keep Trenton!! He is so cute and sweet!! I can't wait! I think Zach is going to be jealous though. We will see.

Zach went to the fire house yesterday in town. One of my friends went as a chaperone and she said that Zach was answering all the questions that the fireman asked. And he asked if they had ever had a fire alarm go off in their house and he raised his hand and the fireman said you had a fire alarm go off in your house and Zach said yeah my mom was cooking and she burnt something and it went off. HA! And then the fireman asked what you do when you are in a 2 story house and the fire alarm goes off and Zach raised his hand again and he said you, you, you....I don't know the answer to that one. She said it was so funny. And on his papers that he does everyday he had a smiley face on one of them and a note because he had written his name all by himself on the top of the page. :) I know I have a big head because my baby is being so good now!! I am sooooo proud of him!

Anyway, Chris should be coming home on the 3rd of October!! I am ready to see him again even though we just saw him last weekend. It just wasn't enough.

I am trying to get my Christmas list started. Well I have started it. I am doing pretty good I think. Santa needs to decide what else he is going to get Zach. It isn't as hard as it was last year. I guess because I am better organized!!

We went to eat supper with Hannah and Richard last night. Zach was acting horrible!! He kept climbing all over me and everything. He got a splinter in his foot one time and I had to hold him down while Hannah got it out. He screamed bloody murder!!

Well until next time.......

What the....?

I am trying to get over what happened on Friday at work.....but it keeps popping back into my mind....partly because everyone is acting like it is my fault and partly because I can't believe that someone would do something like that....

I was sitting here talking to my sister about something....I can't remember now because the girl came in my office screaming at me!! All because I called her earlier to ask her about a ticket for a customer and she started screaming at me on the phone and wouldn't listen to what I had to say so I just hung up on her. She came in saying What the hell were you talking about on the phone? She didn't say I need to talk to you for a minute....just lit in on me. I told her to calm down and she wouldn't so I told her to get out of my office. I can't stand for someone to yell at me. My husband doesn't yell at me much less someone like her.

Well after she went to my boss and cried her sob story of course it is now my fault and I am the one that has the attitude. :P I guess he figures he can come over and scream and holler at me why not let anyone that wants to???!!?? Needless to say I am pissed and about ready to tell them they can have this crap. I don't get paid enough to sit here and be screamed at like a child.

Monday night we had a wedding to go to. I was supposed to just take pictures. Well turns out I had to plan the whole Blessed event in an hour. Some lady that was supposed to be doing everything saw that I was there with mom and asked me if I would "direct"! I said ok. Hey I can do that because all I have to do is tell them when to go in and everything. Well the bride decided she wanted songs in the middle of her wedding. One would have been fine....but she wanted 3!! Well, no I take that back she wanted 4. We had three cds that we were changing out because she wanted this exact song at this exact moment. Which would have been fine under normal circumstances because we would have planned it that way....but no she decided at like 30 minutes before hand that she wanted it that way. Then it was thrown in that someone was going to be her matron of honor...why I don't know because the girl didnt even hold the ring or her flowers for her during the ceremony!!

Back to the songs.....

She wanted "I loved her first by Heartland" to play before her daddy gave her away....then she wanted a song played after her hubby said his I do and a song after she said her I do and then another song played before they were prenounced man and wife!! The ceremony lasted about 40 minutes because of all the songs in it!! You could tell that the preacher was getting irritated around about the 2 song.

By the time everything was over with my back was about to kill me and I just wanted to go home and crawl in bed. We got home at 9:30!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think I wrote last week about Zach getting into a lot of trouble at school. Well the teacher never emailed me back and then I wrote her a note on Monday and she still didn't write me back or call me like she said she was going to. I don't know what to do. But I do know that since I said something he hasn't been getting into as much trouble. Were they just making an example of him??? I don't know. But at least for now things are better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well until next time!!

Zach.....and other stuff....

Zach is having a hard time at school. He has gotten his star taken down AGAIN!! I don't know what I am going to do. He won't tell me what he is doing wrong. I told him that he needed to just do what the teacher told him to do or not to do....whatever the case may be. I am at my whits end. I asked him who else's star was taken down and he said no ones my is the only one!! I don't know if he is just wanting attention or what is going on!!!! I just want to scream because I know that my baby is good and he can do good. He just lets other people influence him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am about ready to kick UPS' butt. We (Amber and I) shipped some running boards to this guy in Canada in July. Well when he got them they were damaged and the box was torn up. UPS said they were sorry and that they would cover the damage. Well it has been almost 2 months and they have only given me not even half of the money that I was supposed to get to cover the boards. Of course the guy is wanting his money back. Who wouldn't? I am just fed up with them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am kinda scared that my job is not going to be around much longer. Of course it would be nice not to have to go to work everyday but I would probably get bored because Zach is in school now. Things just don't look good!! I keep hearing rumors because for some reason our bosses won't tell us anything to ease our minds. ~~I have an amount of money that I have taken out of my check everytime we get paid that goes into a credit union and I looked today to see how much I had in there and they haven't put it in for the last two times that we have gotten paid!!! How crappy is that? What if I really needed that money? And next week will be another week that probably won't get put in!! I am upset about that too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This weekend I will pretty much be all alone....well not all alone but Hannah and Richard are going out of town to eat supper tomorrow night....(and don't get me wrong I totally understand that they need their alone time as a married couple) and then Saturday night Zach wants to spend the night with mom and Hannah and Richard are going to be watching the Alabama game. :( I always wanted to be alone sometimes but now that I am going to be I am not sure if I can handle it. :( I will probably cry the whole time. I can't stand it. We will see. I may not let Zach go to moms.....1 because I don't really want to be alone and 2 because he can't be good at school to keep his star up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think that Chris has decided that he is going to work two jobs. One the job that he is doing now....being gone for 23 days on the tug boat and then on his 10 days off work for another company driving a truck. Don't get me wrong I like that we will have extra money but I WANT TO SEE HIM!!! If he does the truck thing we will pretty much never see him!! Not that we see him very much now. And yes when he was at home this last time he got on my nerves a little because, let's face it I was without him for 25 days and not used to someone talking to me when I wanted to do something. Yes I do LOVE him with ALL my heart and no I don't want to loose him! So I don't want anyone that reads this to think that I don't love my husband anymore because I do!!! I want him home now....but that isn't going to happen. I am rambling....I know....I need to stop!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are supposed to have a yard sale Saturday morning but I don't think we will because of the rain that is supposed to come in Friday night....early Saturday morning from Hurricane Humberto....what kind of name is that? I have never heard of anyone named that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well I better stop typing about all my crap.....Until next time!!!!

Off to work again!!

Well Chris goes back to work Monday....I am sad. :( I wish there were good jobs around here for him but there isn't right now. Who knows he may like it better this time. I think that once he is on his own and not with a trainer anymore it will get better.

Zach is in a terrible mood lately. I don't like his new attitude. It sucks! I think it is because Nana treats him like a baby. At least that is what he said. He doesn't want to go to her house anymore because she treats him like that. :( Poor thing. When he was younger she treated him like he was older and now that he can do things for himself she doesn't like it!! I know it is my fault that all this is going on because it was my idea to let her keep him every afternoon but I thought it would be a good thing. I didn't know that Zach really didn't like her....hmmmm....

We are supposed to be going to Pensacola tomorrow to go to a movie but there isn't really any kid movies playing right now. Zach wants to see The Simpson Movie but I think that might be a little too much for him.

Well until next time.....

Chris Home!!

Well, Chris is FINALLY home!! He got home Thursday night at about 7:30!! I was sooooooo glad to see him. And so was Zach. 25 days is a long time not to see your love!

I think he has decided to go back. At least until Christmas. And then take off a couple of weeks to be here at then and then he will go back to doing something. I am sure that he won't do that unless we have enough money saved up or he has a new job. :)

Well not much to type today. Until next time.....
