Break Stuff!!

9-22-10




I may be staying late at work today. Testing begins today instead of next week. It also sounds like it goes from 10 am to 6 pm. I don’t mind, really. It would mean like 4 hours of OT. Plus, today is the one day I can still have Ken pick up Bobby. I may not need to stay till 6, but I can maybe stay as long as they need me.



I am exhausted. I just filled out the exact same paperwork I had to fill out for Bobby entering school for Dax. Sheesh, that is a lot of freaking paperwork. Such a pain in the ass. And I know I didn’t bring all of it to work to finish. I still have other things to do for the school.



I sat with Bobby for homework last night. It was kind of cool if only because he seemed enthused about it. He dinked a bit, but I can understand doing that. It was easy stuff. He had to find similar things and different things in sets of three. Tonight he has to practice writing his name some more.



Dax starts Pre-K for real today. He and Bobby go to school at the same time. Ken will pick him up at 10:20, which I will be curious to see if he is pissed again. I also wonder how he will do when he has to go in class sans parents. He will probably be fine, and a few tears seem pretty normal. Poor Ken has to drop them both off on this day, so perhaps him getting to also be the good guy by picking them up.



Bobby had made in class these little stick puppets of the three bears and Goldilocks. He did the whole “show” for my parents, which was freaking adorable to hear.



I didn’t walk yesterday to pick up Bobby. I noticed my ankle was visibly swollen from the sprain. Didn’t seem like something I should push, so I ended up driving to get him. I am still pretty swollen today as well, even though I don’t think it hurts as much. Even if I end up picking up the kids today, I don’t think I will walk just so that I don’t aggravate it if it is actually healing.



Ken needs to go to the doctor. His shoulder and neck have been bothering him for a few days now, so much so that he can’t sleep well and it makes him sick. I feel bad if my working late would keep him from the doctor. Although I am sure he can take Bobby fine enough and pick up Dax a little late from Maria’s. I just hope he makes an appt.



Ken didn’t get to go see Scott Pilgrim. Cripple flaked on him. Sigh. Makes me sad. I am hoping my parents get the bed for the boys soon so that they can spend the night and Ken and I can go see Easy A.



I love that they get all crazy about the upper parking lot being filled with people who should not park there because it isn’t their turn, yet the lot is empty right now and it is 7:30.



New Star Wars Bears at Build A Bear. The boys want them, which is fine by me. I may need to have them trade in stars for them. I have to figure out how many stars they are worth.



The boys have been in major tantrum mode at bedtime. I know it is because we have change the schedule somewhat, and have been even more strict on the 7 o’clock bedtime. They just need to make sure to have enough sleep for school, and the recommended sleep amount for their age is 10 to 12 hours. Being that neither of them nap anymore, it is crucial for them to get enough rest. Going to be at 7 and getting up between 6 and 6:30 is a good time span.



Last night, they just couldn’t settle. They take turns coming out and asking stupid questions. Dax will ask why we have two dogs or why he has two blankets. Bobby will say a bunch of more interesting stuff, but it all is not the time for this. Then they end up chit chatting with each other. Last night I went in there, with a major swing of the door and snipped at them. I scared the shit out of them. Yet this didn’t stop them. Ken had to go and calm down Dax and told them to not piss mom off. I had to go back in a bit later for more chitter chatter, and when I told them to quiet down, Bobby responds with, “Yes, boss!” How do you stay mad? LOL!



I have a small red circle, about the diameter of a nickel, around the spot where I got my TB test. I know it was negative, but I wonder what this is about? It doesn’t hurt or itch. I bet it is just bruising or something from the needle. But I would have guessed it would be gone by now.



LOL!!!!!! Can’t. Stop. Laughing! Need to, though. I have to be quiet. My idiot coworker, the one who I am done with because of the cat, had to fill out a vendor request form 5 times because she is a fucktard. And she got mad! Loved it! I told her she had to do it right or else we can’t accept it. Mind you, she has done it before, and thinks she is all smart and shit. It is an easy form, too. Plus, she had to have the boss sign it, and he has done this form before, yet both of them did it wrong. The best part was how much she pissed and moaned. This is the woman who will freak out if you staple something when it doesn’t need it. She fucked up on a form and is actually upset!! LOL!!!!!!!!!! Delicious on every level.



Bobby had no tears again today for school. Woo hoo! And Dax went to line by himself, with no tears or fear so that Ken could go with Bobby. AWESOME!



Already broke something while testing. I am so proud. Ok, not really broken, but I did discover a couple of crucial bugs. Vyerah was all proud of me. Yay AC!



My day has been hectic, yet I feel like I have not done enough. It looks like I won’t need to stay late, but of course, these sort of things happen at the last minute. They have to do a couple of corrections in order for me to test certain things, and so far, it doesn’t look fixed and I have not heard anything back on if it will be done today. No worries, since really, I have the rest of today and all week to mess with it. They were hoping to go live next week, but at this rate, it sounds like it not going to happen.



To make things super annoying, it is almost 80 degrees in the office today. It is cold and awesome looking outside, yet I am stuck in a heat wave. Where is the logic there? I have my fan blasting away at me and hopefully it will make things better shortly.
