Lucky girl

Good morning world ... Well it was a few hours ago anyway!  Been up since 4 .. something this morning... ::yawn::

Feeling bad for all the negative thoughts and evil vibes I've had for my current bosses. They're insisting on paying for my procedure on the skin cancer thing I've got going on.  

Feeling blessed, to say the least.  

How's everyone this fine day?  :))

-Hang in there

Random Tuesday Thoughts

Ya'll tell me when and if you could ever get tired of seeing my two little monkeys!  They're not always as sweet as they look, that's for sure!  

Feel free to caption this one, just don't steal it :)  

So how are my Dingleberries?  Things are going, as well as can be expected  here.  I was intending on posting a random Monday post, but as you can tell, it didn't happen. ... Looks like it's been a whole week or two since I flung some poo at you. I miss you folks.   I thought for sure once I got back to work I'd be able to drop by more often, catch up on some reading and regain what was once "normal" for your dear MB.  Seems as though I came back to work just in time to be omg so busy!  There was a lot more catching up to do than and I thought.  On top of everything we're having one of our auto auctions this weekend as well. 

So where should I start... Oh yes, it's been some time, you know there is a catch up coming :)  

Getting back to work was to say the least, stressful. Not only did I have to get back to work, I had to find someone to watch my little monkey.  I've what you might call a serious case of separation anxiety.  Mr MB says I have it while I'm holding the little monkey.  Ahh that may be an exaggeration, but I doubt it.  So we went with the sitter, sweet girl from church.  Yea, so that didn't work out.  Little monkey started daycare Monday (yesterday).  I hate to do it, but he's close to me and well ... That helps, a little.  

It's all new and I'm still working to figure it out.. That's normal ... Right?  

I'm still wishing/wanting /hoping for a vacation, two kids?  Keep dreaming!!

Found out today, well, unofficially, that the bosses may have sold the business.  This irritates me because they haven't actually told us.  Which makes me hope that maybe it's a misunderstanding. I kinda hope it is, but I think if it isn't.  It's time for me to move on, perhaps this is the sign I've been waiting for.  Or maybe it means things will get better and I can make more money?  I'm not sure. I've also heard they have no prior experience in body shops or towing business... Um ....  It doesn't make sense?  The bosses are old though. They've hit their 70's, they need to retire and hang it up.  Is it wrong for me to be butt hurt that after all these years, we're like family, they haven't said anything officially?  

I'm ranting ... 

So as I said, I've  a lot of work to be getting done while I'm on the clock. That and the whole breast pump are really throwing a wrench in my internet life.   But little monkey is crashing out pretty early this week, so maybe things will work out for me. 

I hadn't forgot about you all, you're in my thought most days.  

Keeping it stinky around here, that's how I roll ... :)

Music For A Tueday ... and a little more

Happy Tuesday my Dingleberries.. I should have some Tuesday Tunes for you all but I'm at a loss tonight. In all honesty I should be asleep.

I took Leiko out, did I tell you guys we're fostering a new pup?  He's a pain in my monkey butt and a really bad idea to a house with carpet.  Yea so Leiko isn't quite house trained yet..

He's a sweet little pup don't get me wrong. Just takes some getting use to.  Papa MB had way to much on his plate. So we took him in.  

This seems more like a Monday Mashup post, it isn't though. It's still a Tuesday.

We've got open house tomorrow at Pokey's school.  4th grade already. This is going to be crazy.

Ya know she wants a house key?  I don't know what I think about all of that.  I think perhaps she or we all have lost our minds.  

Making arrangements for everything. It's been a crazy week already!  We've had a busy two weeks actually. But we're getting closer to getting it all wrapped up.

I'm going to miss my monkeys when I'm back to work, Pokey goes to school and E goes to the sitter. I'm already getting a little anxious!  

Oh and I've got a form of skin cancer, go figure.  The dermatologist wants to remove it, but being one of those Americans with no health insurance I've applied for care credit.  They approved me, but I've got to wait for the card to come in the mail.

Argle.

From what I've read and their lack of urgency, it doesn't seem to be that big of a deal.  Shall see!

Let's see if I've got something up the sleeve for  music ... Wrap this up nicely won't it?

Don't forget to hit the link above and go check out what everyone else is up to this week :) 

I've been thinking a lot about taking a trip to Washington lately. It's too bad I can't just go.  Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if I'd chosen to travel and stuff before I had my kids?  

Then I realize, it will be so awesome to travel with my kids and awesome little family!  

Just wish I knew when it could happen!

Happy Tuesday my Dingleberries.

I hope it was awesome!!

Thursday's Monkey Butt

Ok Ok so there is no monkey, but whatever ... IT made me giggle.  Happy Thursday Dingleberries!!

Monday Mash Up: Episode 11

It's been a while since I've committed to a Monday Mashup and it was only last minute that I committed to blogging tonight.  Fact is E is asleep and I'm working to get this done before he wakes up yelling. 

That's his thing. 

He's spoiled ... Imagine that! 

So ....  

Check him out ... Cute right?  He's my little Monkey for sure!! 

* I had a bump removed from my eye lid a few weeks ago .. Imagine that it comes back as a form of skin cancer ::face palm:: I knew I didn't want to know what the heck that bump was.  It looks like he got most of the bump, but they want to send me to another Dr to be sure.  As the Dr that cut it off to begin with isn't comfy with getting so close to my eye. Struck me as a witch Dr with his snake bracelet! lol ... Oh well.  We shall see what becomes of that one.

* I'm still working part time-ish right now. Making very little money and it's really starting to affect my living. 

*I've opted to go with a sitter instead of a daycare facility for E.  It's a girl from church, I'm going to let her watch him. Figure he will get more attention there and well he won't be sick all the time like some day care babies.  I wouldn't want to deal with that.  I'm still worried sick about leaving him and can't stand the thought. Mr MB said he might be getting a better paying position at his current employer. That could be a good thing. Maybe I can work a little less and take care of these chirrens I got!  :)

*I'm really really in need  of  a vacation. Mr MB says we can do that next year. He wants to go to NY. I really really really want to go to Washington state and Oregon. I was bored and playing on the amtrak website the other day.  To take a train to Washington will take like 4 days. I imagine it will be impossible for Mr MB and myself to get off enough days to enjoy a trip like that and be able to spend some time there!  I guess we will do the NY thing first and then maybe the year after that we can go where I want to go.

I think it would be sooo awesome! 

*  So we're knocking on the door of August. Which I'm hoping time will stand still there. I don't want to get into September, October and November.  It's going to be a bad year for all three of those months! 

*Thank you everyone for your kind words and love for MB and Mama MB. I know she's here with me, in some way. I know she snuggles on Little E when he's laying quietly and happy.  I know I will see her again one day.  One day, in the future, I will find some peace in the fact that she's gone .I guess as of now it's just too soon for me.  Time does have a way of numbing the pain.  I look forward to finding peace in the good memories and not those last moments. 

So until next time ... 

- Hang in there!  

Ahhh to miss someone ....

This picture is dated a little over a year before she passed away.  Life is a messed up place sometimes isn't it?  I sit and think about all the things she has missed already.

I look out my kitchen window most nights watching for her to come walking through the woods from her house to mine ...  It's never going to happen ....  I hate that!

Life is hard ....  I miss my Mama MB so very much!

- Hang in there!
