Short week...

I looked at my calendar and realized I'm working 1 Friday in the Month of August... and it ain't tomorrow.  Yeah totally sucks to be me doesn't it?  I am however working longer days so I don't have to use up vacation time for these missing Fridays... dogs aren't thrilled but 3 day weekend in the woods will make up for that -- this time.  Plus when we get back it will be two days recover time.. so it's all good.

Things are quiet, house is almost returned to normal, cleaning lady came Tuesday - probably should have tipped the house was a mess... eh.  I got laundry done, stripped the guest bed again due to rumors of return visit of in-laws who will probably call tonight want to come up Saturday and we'll be in the woods.   Sorry!  We plan ahead unlike you people.  I can just imagine how many times Mom J has called back to PA just to check in.  I can promise you she won't travel during the school year because she can't trust Niece A to get up and get her own kid to school on time... yeah amazing isn't it?

I wonder a lot about the hand of cards I was dealt in regards to kids. Why do some get sent the world and are complete idiots while others... and why is it right in my face.  I mean really.  Gee and whiz what Divine plan of extreme filter check is this? (you know the brain to mouth filter)   My idiot brother is taking his daughter already behind the 8 ball in school out of the first few days of school to go on vacation - WTF are June, July and most of the rest of August flipping for?  AND then you complain about not being able to afford to send her to private school --- HINT HINT DORKUS.

But I digress - and wallow frankly.  I'm blaming hormones, lack of female chatty time and just plain - it's that time of the year - who the Frank knows?  This hits every now and again... there should be a switch I can hit that allows me to be like Bubba - outta sight outta mind and done.

I did soothe the cranky bitch with a visit to the book store yesterday - it's going out of business I went with a list, got it - and one more and got out.  :-)   She was happy for a bit - she had sole control of the remote - which didn't pay off because well - TV sucked last night.  I did get to see the documentary on Ed Sabol who started NFL films - funny guy and interesting.  But I'm a nerd like that.  Steelers football Friday night - thank goodness...

I was also watching older episodes of Sex and the City - man the late ones sucked!  LOL-- or not so much.

Bubba got home late he was out with the accountants - celebrating some guys 30 years with the company. He came home happy - oh goodie.  Well it was a change of pace actually so we went with it.  I found it really funny HIS dog didn't as much as twitch an ear when he walked in and when he talked to her she looked at him like - yeah it's late I'm tired you missed it all - 'night.  We went to bed, read and all of a freaking sudden the alarm went off and the bladder put the ki-bosh on the thoughts of snooze bar...

So up and moving and to work, office mate left for a conference 20 minutes after I got in sooo nice and quiet day.  Up side - it's a Friday for me!  And hey quiet day at work, can't beat it - go back and read life of mine a year ago... there was thoughts of murder and mayhem and it wasn't all Bubba for a change.  :-)

So enjoy the weekend, the weather and life in general - I fully intend to !!!
