Hell in a handbasket...

You ever have one of those days.

The type that actually started the night before?  And makes you so frustrated that you just can't talk about what went wrong?


That was yesterday.  I had a crappy Monday night, and was convinced the whole world was against me.  My job is...well, my job. They've screwed everything up here again.  Testing was "adjusted" again. I hate Governments... get out of my classroom!

I realized that my daughter is 7 months old, and I've missed half of her life.  She sleeps (alot) and I work when she is awake. The only times I get her are from 4:30-9pm and weekends. Of her life, the only constant is her daddy.

Now, I know this is new mom talking, but I'm convinced she loves him, not me, at all.

I told you, I've had a crappy day.  It's not getting better.  Now it's Wednesday, I'm back at work (yesterday was so bad I called in dead) and all I want to do is sit here and cry.

I need massive hugs this weekend.

And Possibly Lambic.

Ok, as far as Faire went, this weekend was a no-go.  We planned on being out on Sunday, which I sorely missed, but, Alas.


Saturday rocked.  We went to Burrito Nite (TM) on Friday, only to find out that no one else was going...No problem.We went to www.TacoRosa.com  's  for dinner.  Man, I love that place.  It's more expensive than their fast food Taco Mesa, but the Lobster Bisque....yummies.

Kept dropping hints that we had to go to Palm Desert in the Sat Am to visit my Grandmother who is in the hospital (she is, again, btw.  2 mini strokes Friday. She's Dying, we know it, get over it.)  

Grandma kept hoping we'd "make it back on time" for her party.

Sat Morning, we get up dress bug, Pick up Colin's Dad at ONT airport, Drive home, get some stuff, drive to OC, ect.  Get down, Surprise the hell out of Grandma with her son soming for her 80th b-day (like that could be missed!)

Great Party.  shinyevil, Fish, the_lessaand massive family amounts.  Good food, Fish grilled, etc.

Got home at like 11 pm.  

Sunday morning, Collin's throat was raw.  Cailie bug fussy from people overload (shots still making her weird. Should be over by today, knowing her history.)  

Collin refused to go out, saying he fell like crap.  Promissed me two full days either this weekend (5-6) or next (12-13) which is my older bro's b-day, btw.  if you see him gigging with derek, he's fair game. he's wearing Talesin's old Pyrate gear. PLEASE torture him.  This is his second year doing a weekend pass through the Privateers, and he's in LOVE with this place!

So. All I have to do is survive this week of the children doing as little as possible and we're good to go.

Collin's dropping Dad at the ONT today. Tonight, I'm making Cailie PANTS, because the monkey decided to try crawling last night.  SHe may have to get a new outfit so we can kilt up/button up the skirt for crawling.  Must be hard in skirts for a little one.
