Boy did I ever put in a busy night last night. Honestly it seemed as though every one that lives in our area decided to come out to eat last night. The door to our restaurant never stopped opening. It was so busy that I actually had to stay an extra hour and a half past my shift to clean everything up. At one point in the evening I even considered buying an oximeter just to make sure I was okay. Thank goodness these types of nights don’t happen every night. It was a really good tip night, but I sure earned every penny of it!

Today it kind of feels like spring may be on it’s way. It’s really sunny outside and the temperatures are above the freezing mark. I so love days like this! Maybe all this warm weather may get rid of some of this snow and then it will really feel like a sunny spring day. So… I plan on spending some time outdoors today. Nothing exciting mind you, just to clean out my car. But at least I’ll be out in the nice warm air and maybe, I’ll be able to get out of my winter funk a little bit early this year.

My husband has been working for the same company for the past 12 years. For the most part, he really hasn’t been happy. But because it’s a nice steady and stable job, he refuses to look elsewhere. He just comes home and rants and raves to me about the job and then the next morning he’s off to work again.

Last night he had a staff meeting, and he came home just ranting. Apparently they are changing the dress code at his work and expect him to go out and pay for a new uniform. To say that he was not impressed, was an understatement. I guess he figures if he has to start paying for uniforms, then they are going to make him pay for other stuff as well. Can you imagine having to fork out the money for a super pump 250 or a generator? But instead of saying anything to his employer, he leaves the meeting and crabs to me about it. Oh well, I’ve done this for 12 years and I expect I’ll be doing this with him for another 12 years.

My youngest son really does crack me up. He is an extremely bright boy, but sometimes he can be so dizzy. This morning around 10:00 am I get a phone call from him (from school) that he forgot his lunch box. So of course I told him I would run it down to him. When I get to the school his teacher informs me that he told her he knew first thing this morning that he forgot it, but he forgot to tell her about it until after snack. Why wait until after snack when his snack was in the lunch box. But I laughed and gave her the lunch box anyway. I threaten this kid every day that I’m going to have to invest in some hemorrhoids treatments because he’s a pain in my *you know where*. Oh well, I wouldn’t have him any other way.

My father in law’s wife really, really ticks me off. I really can’t take her on a good day. But this weekend she made me so angry that I informed my husband that I have no intentions of ever stepping foot in her house again. I feel bad for my father in law over this. But you know what, he married her, so he made his choice. I’m still so angry about the events that happened over the weekend that I still can’t talk about it. If my husband wants to go see his father and take the kids, that’s up to him. But it’s safe to say I will NOT go into her house until I hear a sincere apology out of this woman’s mouth.

My computer is only about two years old, but man… is it ever giving me a lot of grief. For the past few days it has been running so slowly that I’m almost ready to pull my hair out of my head. Then this morning while I was trying to do a blog post about an acne treatment guide, the whole unit just crashed. Well, I just forgot about doing the post and unplugged the machine and took out the battery. I let it sit for an hour and then plugged it back in. It’s still running slowly, but as you can see I can post. Hopefully this thing will let me finish all my work on it today and then I will be able to shut it down and give it a rest. I HATE computers sometimes.

Although it’s only February, it’s never to early to be thinking about summer. This past winter my husband has put on a lot of weight and last night he mentioned that he wants to have all these extra pounds off before the summer camping season hits. Well if he is going to accomplish this, then he really needs to start looking at the most effective diet pills now. He wants to lose about 20-25 pounds and doesn’t think he will be able to do this without a little bit of help. So… I’m trying to talk him into going to the doctor so maybe he can prescribe him something safe. Hopefully he achieves his goal. I’ll let you know.

Boy my nine year old was in a mood this morning. He didn’t want to get ready for school, he didn’t want to pack his lunch and he didn’t want to walk to the bus stop. When his father asked him what was up with him this morning, he crabbed at him that he was tired. I guess he doesn’t take any sleep pills now does he. And… the reason why he was tired this morning?? He stayed up late watching the NASCAR race. I guess that will teach him now won’t it? Probably not, he’s only nine. Hopefully once he gets to school and around his buddies he will come out of his mood. Otherwise, his teacher is not going to have a very good day.
