Right now,I just found out my son was one of five kids from his class selected to participate in the school spelling bee! They gave us a book of words he should practice. Second graders spelling words like: sinistral,funambulist,diva(lol),psychodrama!!!!!!!!!! What the heck?

Right now, I am:

heart Asking Gidget why she was feeling so fine!

angel Praying for Yankee's acquaintance, Haleh . . . for a chance to stay with her mother and an opportunity to have officials conduct a closer review of her situation. Now's the time for publicity, huh?

cake Congratulating BR and Sweetpea on their special double birthday celebration!

woman Advising Tabby NOT to do things like clean out clogs. You don't get rewarded for it. If the manager only wants things to 'look' good, then do only the superficial s%%%. (I know you couldn't do that if you tried, but . . . sounds as if the 'guys' know you will do everything, so they are taking advantage.) Ever consider writing up a list of everything you do each day, sitting down with this boss and talking? Say "It's time we talked. I've earned a raise. Here's the number."

star Congratulating Griffin for making the spelling bee cut!


And right now, I'm about to do my back exercises before heading out to PT. Fun, fun, fun.

hippyt, it's amazing how difficult even second grade work is! congrats on the son's selection!
i was helping one of the maintenance worker's sons do his math the other afternoon. he is 8 and in the 3rd grade. it was geometry. my least favorite subject! i could barely do his 3rd grade work!
landi, i have been asking for one since my 6-months came around. we are not allowed to ask the boss anything anymore. "that's what i have a general manager for". GM swears he has asked several times and i may get a raise sometime after the new year.
GM comes in after me. he opens my money pouch and counts what i have already counted. only he doesn't have to group by cart rentals, greens fees, etc., because i have done all that. he never gets the money added right and i have to show him where he missed things...like a dime still in the bag, or he will be holding a stack of credit card receipts in one hand and cash in the other and tell me my money is short. he 'forgets' to add in the credit card stack. and this is the guy who boss told me 'has owned his own business and managed it for 30 years.' GM is 44 and has told me about at least 25 different jobs he has held! (oh, of course he was always the best person and made the companies big money...so why's he not still at one of these wonderful jobs?!) and now i know he'll never leave us. would you leave a job where you just have to walk around with your hands in your pockets, count money that's already been counted and listed on a deposit slip, have the boss comp your lunch at least twice a week, drive a golf cart around for hours, and play solitaire for the last hour or so to pass the time away? at 20 bucks an hour?! he is basically a nice guy--at least he doesn't scream at us, but i am really starting to resent his being over me and not being able to do a zillionth of what i do and getting such big bucks and not having to account to anyone. before he came on board, boss told me he had hired a new GM. i said, "yeah, he'll work 5 week days and never have to be here evenings, holidays or weekends." boss assured me GM would be here 7 days a week for several months and would always have some late, holiday or weekend times after that. most fridays GM is gone by 2:00 (if he's come in at all), and he is gone til monday. rarely even calls in. in the last 5 weekends, GM has been at work a total of 5 hours.
i could so do his job and do it well. boss is just a sexist and thinks no one would listen to a woman. well, he is on wife #4, so maybe he doesn't listen to a woman!
GM is a scrawny dude who watches soap operas and plays casino games all night on his computer. he murders the king's english. "he don't" and "i seen", etc. GM has full medical benefits (i have no benefits) and gets off from dec 18 through dec 27. he does not have to fill out a vacation time request, because "i'm the boss". if i hear him brag that he's above all the little rules and regulations "because i'm the boss" one more time, i'm going to have to run to the lady's room, put a towel over my mouth and scream for about ten minutes! let's hope i can continue to stay on without going nuts because i need the job. actually, i need GM's job!
i am home today and need to clean house. i hate being home one day a week and having all the laundry and vacuuming and bathroom cleaning and litter box emptying, etc., be "my" job.

right now, thanks for the heads up on clay! i'll watch him here later!
mocha, there are days i eat everything that isn't nailed down!
right now, i am so pleased with dd. the school calls her a 'superstar'. the t-shirt she designed to make money for the scholarship she started/named for her late history teacher is selling like hotcakes! her counselor called last night to say she had emailed the teachers about the shirts' arrival and she had 7 responses in the first half hour. dd went to school early to sell shirts to teachers and will sell them during brunch and lunch to students. i fully expect this initial order of 200 shirts to be gone immediately and more having to be ordered. dd has already had over 1k in mailed-in donations for the HOBBS scholarship! with just the shirts we already have, she has earned another 1k. she insisted the teacher's family be given shirts. they are insisting they want to not only buy their shirts, they want to pay for many more, too, to give to their friends.
between her 6 classes (four of them AP), her job, her Habitat for Hmanity board of directors meetings, her tons of homework, the raffle she and i are running for the students who are going to italy next summer....well, i hope she can finally get a little break over christmas time!

right now, my right eyelid started bleeding again. i had to go into emergency at 2am. something poked me in the eyelid at 2am. it felt like a wire or something (couldn't find anything). i got up and looked in the mirror, cuz i had a sharp pain in my eye, and there was blood all over my eye. i had to wake chuck up to drive me to emergency. they looked it over, cleaned it out. the poke is all the way through the eyelid, but it didn't hit the eyeball (thank you lord!) but now, my right is black and blue (actually it looks kind of aubergine!) and i was given ointments and the doctor said he could patch the whole eye, but that it doesn't do much good in a case like this, because then it doesn't heal quickly.

i'm supposed to go to chuck's company christmas party tomorrow night. i'm gonna look like my husband decked me! gawd!!

right now, that was one of the first questions. since i have an allergic reaction when one of them scratches me, and i wasn't having one, they ruled that out. besides, belle was at the bottom of the bed sound asleep when i got up, and she was doing the blinky eye thing when i turned on the bathroom light, so that meant she was asleep. ariel had already been let out when chuck went to bed, as she was scratching at the door.

right now, Landi, that reminds me of one of my stories, much the same. Our apartment had a window in the bedroom, leading to the balcony, and a sliding glass window leading back into the living room. Our cats used to do a loop in the middle of the night -- out the living room, across the balcony, into the bedroom, and back up the hallway to the living room. And silly us, we put our bed right under the window. My BF was woken early one morning to a bloody eye, the cat had missed the landing and landed right on his face, claws out. Only in our case, it wasn't a Xmas party... it was my grandma's 90th birthday, a huge family reunion (I hadn't seen many of them in 10+ years) and it was the first time he was meeting most of my family. We showed up looking like I had decked HIM.

right now I hope Landi uses a great brand of concealer. LOL.

right now, that's very possible. ariel, although out in the living room when i got up, is the one who (as we say) "runs along the ceiling!" it could have been very quick and she was gone. i just may not be having an allergy reaction due to the drops and ointments. it's about the depth of a cat claw. guess whose nails are getting trimmed tonight??

Right now I just finished the 3rd and final test for my class. Hit the submit button and a page pops up that said, "Thank you for submitting test #1." Uhm.....huh?? That was definitely not test #1, lol. What has me concerned is that with the last two test, after hitting submit I'd be redirected back to the class websites main page, I wasn't this time. So I copied my answers, emailed them to myself, then sent the prof an email to let him know of the weirdness and find out if he got my test. Has me slightly worried because the test has to be done by Monday and this man is soooooo bad at getting back to people through email!

right now, war, at least you covered your butt.
i know what you mean about people getting back to others through email...i ordered my son 2 pair of pants for his job a week ago. the place is only 100 miles north of where ds lives, but other than the first email stating they had received my order, my account hasn't been debited, they don't respond to emails asking if the order has gone out, and have no phone number. their website stated all orders (unless monogrammed) go out in 2 business days, and that meant they would have gone out tuesday. from los angeles to san diego should not take 3 days via UPS...since my account hasn't been debited, i am thinking this order hasn't even been processed. my son starts his 'real' work today. the last 2 few hour days were for training. he will have to borrow pants from their clothes rack in the back room until his pants arrive.
i am not happy about this supposedly "largest medical clothing supplier" being so inefficient and being poor communicators.

yesterday i got most of my christmas shopping done online. some disney things for dd and clay's book from amazon.com and some In 'N Out burger t-shirts for my son to give us. i shopped sales and managed to get most of what i wanted for under 150 dollars total. it isn't going to be quite a charlie brown christmas, but we aren't able to spend much money. i think the kids understand that we spend a lot of money for their living costs every day, so they aren't getting a lot of extra this holiday! my ds has to also realize one of his main gifts will be paying his speeding ticket and his traffic safety class! i haven't figured out where that money's coming from yet. sigh......
