Tuesday Thoughts ...

Just caught myself searching through my album looking for my Monday Mash up picture, lol.  That would have been a flinging mess there wouldn't it?  Then again that does sound like something I've done in the past.  Shhhh, let's not say that too loud. Don't want my Dingleberries to know I fling those up from time to time.  

So it's not Monday at all, not anymore.  

Monday was my birfday and not the bloggy birfday. My really real birfday.  It's safe to say there was something, or someone missing.  But I guess that's expected.  You know last year the birfday came along and selfishly I prayed that Mama MB wouldn't pass on my birfday. How bad is that?  I think about it now and all I feel is damn, how selfish was that?  I hope I haven't already said this.  I don't want to be a broken record or something like that. No one likes that guy!  I sat at dinner last night, surrounded by those that I love and those that love me and I felt a little empty.  

Isn't it weird how we take things for granted?  I tried the last few years of Mama MB's life to not take those little moments for granted.  When it's all said and done, it's easy to think back to all the moments you did take for granted.  

I guess this is all coming out in light of the one year mark approaching...  

So it being Tuesday kind of throws a wrench in my whole " Mash up" that I'd decided to go with tonight.  I guess I can still share some  music?  Nah I don't think I will. 

Instead I'm just gonna carry on with my poo flinging tonight ! It's almost my bedtime. 

The little MB's decided to get sickly on me this weekend,  sick monkeys are really a nightmare. Just in case you were wondering!  Poor baby MB has some chest congestion and ran a temp all weekend.  Pokey decided to cough all weekend, luckily neither of them had any ear infections.  WE got lucky. I hope it stays that way.  Hoping I can get baby's lungs clear and we don't have any other problems! 

This is what it looks like after a breathing treatment.  His first breathing treatment. Poor baby monkey.  Guess he got his Nana's genes on that one.  :/  

There we have it, I will leave it at this.  Tomorrow is that darn Wednesday, gotta fight the camel.  

-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 ... :)

-Hang in there!

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!!

-Hang in there! 

Music For A Tuesday

At a loss for ideas and this came to mind today. I stumble upon this one a while back over at The Ginger Blog Man and just fell in love with it instantly.  I've now added Grimes to my Pandora player so I can randomly hear them throughout the day. I love it!

So while you're listening to that, I'm going to cram in a Random Tuesday while I'm at it!  :) Excited aren't you?

Torn as to if I want to start with the happy or not so much...  I hate to even bring in the not so happy stuff.  so maybe I wont!

But I will show you a couple of other photos I have for the day!

Saw this on my walk home from Mama MB's this afternoon. I guess in all the days past I've been so busy that I haven't "stopped to smell the flowers" so to speak. It's  water lily I think is what it's called.  I though it was lovely and it made me think of you my dear Dingleberries!

It's been another hellish days today.  One of my co-workers called me last night and said he was no longer employed with the company. I couldn't/can't believe it.  It's insanity.  The fact that the company let him go, for the BS reasons listed and stated. Just blows my mind. I know we're  a right to hire, right to fire state. But what.the.fuck.  He was such a good employee and yes he'd been in a slump as of lately and had developed a nice attitude and a certain " i hate my job" feel but we all do that. 

To fire someone, who has put their blood, sweat, tears and time into the company. Bent over backwards and lost so much time and sleep in their normal lives.  To just fire them like that?  I've lost all respect for those people  I call my bosses. It breaks my heart really!

Pokey had her first parent/teacher conference today.  Unfortunately on my way there I manage to catch a nice speeding ticket!  I was really kinda pissed off about that. I haven't gotten a ticket in like 5 years or something. It's total BS that she caught me speeding. Not that it's any excuse and I shouldn't be bitching.. But in my defence.. I thought I was out of the school zone, I was following with the other vehicles in front of me. What do they call it?  Staying with the flow of traffic and well I just don't think I should have to suffer this blow.  It's bullshit I tell you! 

They put a court date on the ticket.. You bet your sweet ass I'm going to be sitting in that court room on December 5th.  I hear if you go to court it will most likely be reduced and if the cop doesn't show it can just get thrown out!  ::fingers crossed::

With all of that up there, I guess  I did share the not so good, but it all started out like this!!

Up early (the norm) and left early for work this morning.  Being late on Monday and then leaving early on Tuesday. Has a certain way of affecting how much money I have at the end of the week. Which is usually none.

Tina (my car) is being a POS this week. No idea why. Something...electrical?  I have no idea.  All I know is I reallllly need a new to me car.  Not something typical for me to say but I think it's true!

I had no idea the Mazda 5 was a minivan?  Has it always been that way?  I'm in love with the Mazda 3.  In love with it!  So there you have an early morning sunrise in Georgia!

I hope everyone had a FABULOUS Tuesday, all in all. Mine was OK. Something about those short days at work. Really makes the day better! 

Hang in there!

Two Fer Tuesday: A-ha

Happy Tuesday Dingleberries!  I bet you all were so worried I was trapped under packed and unpacked boxes. That the moving truck had someone shorted out and ran me over Maximum Overdrive style.  That the new house had suddenly collapsed with all the boxes and the OMG sized couch being moved into it.

Well, lucky you, none of the above took place. We've pulled through alive and with a few limps and bruises. There were a few things in the place that required some maintenance but nothing too major.  Little stuff really. The only big thing is the a/c unit.  Unfortunately we're waiting for the a/c repair man to come fix it.  Quite frustrating really, because the constant fans and open windows, with all of this rain... Yea it's not that great!!

I know our rain isn't anything compared to the disasters in LA again, but it's still pretty annoying to be under constant rain fall. This isn't Seattle dear Mother Nature, we enjoy our sunshine you know!  How about where you are dear Dingleberries? Got any sunshine?  Raining? Hanging in there?

So I'm mashing this post together with the Music For A Tuesday, I didn't forget.  I did however manage to really let me 365 posts go to shiz over the weekend. Forgetting to take my photos... I don't know what to do, so I will just post what I got... It sucks really!!

Did my blogging friends in the states have an awesome Labor Day or what?  It rained here, we ate some Pizza Hut and hit the Home Improvement store for the not working properly water heater parts.  UGH! We have hot water now though. YAYS!



So lets jam to something this week.... Hmmm:

I'm surprised I remembered this one. ha ha. Randomly I will be like I need to share this one for Tuesdays. Yea I think of it on Thursdays and then forget with all the Monkey Butt actions!  :) So I'm sharing today!!   We all know this one....Right?  If not don't tell me cause it will only make me shake my head. I recently seen it again in one of the Family Guy episodes.  Good stuff!

Moving along,  I hope you enjoyed that one.  Take on me by A-ha.




So many things, obvious things I guess. Obvious stresses and anxieties!  With the new place and all the new things. There are bugs in the woods!  Bugs that are biting me as I walk through them. plants that are sticking MAXimus in the bum and he runs from the bushes.  We aren't use to this, how weird is that? The grass seems TALL. More biting there as well.   Now it feels like I'm covered in bugs bites... My car is covered in...dirt...mud...leaves...YUCK!  Speaking of the car, it wouldn't start this morning. Was forced to hike down and up the driveways to Papa MB's storage shed for a battery charger thing... UGH!  Luckily it got it going and life was OK for a bit.

Late for work, went to do the walk through at the apartment complex and turn in my set of keys. They're charging me for a stained counter top and I couldn't get the oven clean enough for their standards.  UGH!  It is what it is though right?!  It's the best I could do with what I had and that's all they're getting!

Pokey's new teacher seems really nice, I'm terrified!  I fear the school bus and getting up so early, this is a new chapter so far and it's going to be a long, hard chapter. In the beginning...

I"m going to keep doing what I do best though,  Hanging in there!  Till next time (we should have Internet soon)...

Hang  in there!
