Office Work.......

I know. I know. Believe me, whatever you may think up, I have been there already. er, uh...not LITERALLY. My brain has been there at least.

Jeeze Louise. Had a truck driver in here.

Him: "Is there anyone here?"

Me: "Um, me?"

Him: "No, someone who can lift something."

Me:

"What do you need?"

Him: "Well, I've got this heat pump to load." *looking at me very skeptically*

Me: "Let me get my coat and gloves."

Good grief, I'm as tall as he is and although I admit to being only half as wide, his extra width was mostly fat. We loaded it no problem, it only weighed probably 150 lbs. I wonder if he's picked his jaw up off the floor yet.

Pffft....I've learned in my old age to let the men do the heavy lifting. I go to Home depot and beg for help loading the wood into the cart......and I even pull around to let them load it into my truck too.

If I'm in a hurry, I just load it myself, roll that sucker outside and toss it all into the back of the truck. I can do it about as well as the workers can. I usually have to instruct them the best way to load everything. Sigh.

I love doing that to people. Let them judge the book by the cover, it entertains me to see the jaw on the floor...

Belle,

We have missed you too.

I love that little smile on the baby's face. The rest of the family looks good too.

Why do people keep posting "Sad Stories" in this forum? I don't wanna read sad stories! I refuse! If I want sad stories all I have to do is watch the news. Yeesh.

And on that note, good morning everybuggy.

I see the dacly update did not include even the slightest mention of your all you can eat Brazilian, Nells. Fancy that.

We got about 4" of fresh snow yesterday, everything looks much prettier but it's a lot harder hauling water until it gets stomped down. Ah, well, good aerobic exercise combined with good resistance exercise, I guess!

All you can eat Brazilian, coming tomorrow!

Well now I'm annoyed. Shelter just called me and said they might not be able to spay the cat tomorrow....so she may have to wait until NEXT Wednesday. Which means she will have to sit at the shelter for another week! How stupid is that?! I told the guy straight up that I have work until 5:30 an hour away so couldn't pick her up next week. Have famil in town this week that will do it for me. I just think its retarded to leave the cat at the shelter for 2 weeks after she is adopted waiting for a vet to show up and fix her. Get your *#$&^$ together people......

Cute baby, Belle! So glad to finally see your baby we've all been waiting to hatch.

My dd has a black cat and he's super duper...ok, his name is Trooper and we call him super duper baby trooper.

Speaking of kids and cooties....drove through the winter weather last night to go to the walk in because my 4 year old has yet another bladder infection. My regular dr. wants to do more invasive testing. I'm so sad for her and scared. Plus we all feel cruddy but it's cold and flu season and guess it's just what it is. And I have my regular dr. apt. today and an echo for my heart tomorrow.

Yesterday, I volunteered a Christmas game at my preschoolers school party. Gotta leave in a bit and do my 2nd graders Christmas party today...using same game. 4 foot cardboard Christmas tree with the trimmings that I made and throwing JUMBO and I do mean JUMBO marshmallows ("snowballs") through holes cut out. Passed out chocolate covered marshmallow snowmen for a "prize" and used a stocking to hold them all.

Secretly hoped the snowfall last night would have closed down all the schools but there were just delays and 1 closing. drats. Oh well, it's a half day and I have a dr. apt. anyway later so it's not like I could have slept all day. oooo sleeping all day, that sounds cozy. That's what my 4 year old is attempting right now. poor Ava.

so my other coop is now finished...now i have to sweep up nails, screws...put in bedding and then try to round up all the chickens, ducks, and the turkey and convince them that they need to stay in that coop and not the smaller one. I'll shut the smaller one up when they all come out and leave the light on in the bigger coop but I have a feeling they are gonna just walk back over to the small one and sit by the door and fuss at me for not letting them in. So then I'll have to carry 10 ducks, 8 chickens, and a turkey over there, toss em in and keep the door shut and lock em in...won't I? no no don't agree with me....tell me they will walk through the snow all by themselves willingly without flapping their wings and dodging me and going in different directions! paaaleeease, have it be easy.
