Great but exhausting weekend!


Carson and the coach....his Dad! Yes. I brought muchkin donuts

I love this picture. She is such alittle doll baby.


Good Morning! Yes, it's going to be a good morning. I am bound and determined. I had the best weekend ever. Went to see my 5 year old Gson play football. really fun. Fun to watch my SIL coach the team. The other parents were nice as well as all the little boys. Sometimes that's not the case. Laughed...alot! It was so cute. I am going to soak it up while he still wants to run to sidelines and hug his GeGe.
I brought the boys home for an overnight. It was fun, but exhausting. Then I went back to work for my crazy L.L. yesterday. The bottom line is that I am going to have to quit. There are alot of different reasons, the most important one is that I don't think I am serving her. I do think she's bored, and I just don't have a party left in me anymore. Anyway, I am really going to start looking for something else.
I was so pissed last night. I have a friend whose daughter is doing MaryKay. Last night the kid text and told me that the 1 hour party I had planned and told everyone about was going to be 2 hours. I told her " No, you're a professional make it fit in an hour. That's what I was told, or I guess assumed. Anyway, I spent almost 3 hours at the last one I went to. Plus spent money on stuff I didn't need. The kid must have notified her mother who texted me and played the "friend card", Really?? Anyway, totally rethinking this friendship. I would never do that to someone. I would have told my kid the customer is always right, even when they're wrong. That's the way I was taught. Seriously fuming. Going to shake it off. I don't need to be pissy all day about it. Stop thinking about it, Dana. I will go tonight with a smile on my face cause I have invited people, but I am keeping my distance from this person for a good long time.
Food hasn't been the best. Drive Thru over the weekend. Damn chicken tacos. H20 not great either. I have been ubber anxious, thinking about my job, wishing I had another option. When your unhappy at work, you're miserable. Need to make a big pot of something WW. That's the plan. Along with walking. Which I need to get dressed to get out the door by 5 am.
Keep the mood and the food real...............

    I love how much your grandkids ADORE you! So sweet to see. :)

    As for the Mary Kay party - tell the kid (not the mother - ugh, sounds like she has her own issues with being too involved in her grown child's business) that you can give her an hour for the party, or nothing at all. Take it or leave it - let's face it, it's not like you can't live without the free items you'll get from hosting the party vs. the angst this is causing. I fee for you and hate it when crap like that happens.

    Hope you have a peaceful day.

    Dana, have you seen that documentary "Food Inc?" It really helped me to be mad at the Drive Through places. I keep telling myself "They don't care about me. They don't care about my health. They don't care anything about me." It seems to help me. Also I flip the bird at every drive through I pass. This makes me laugh and then I am able to NOT STOP. I even stopped getting iced tea or water at the drive through.

    I know it's hard though. xoxoxoxo GP

    Keep the mindset with the grandkids. Yes, the work situation is tough, but you have your reasons-stay strong...as for the party, you are a better woman than I-that took some balls and I would re-evaluate, too.

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
