Girl on Fire

4-26-12


While sitting in the chair at the dentist’s office, I was admiring the hygienist, Mary’s flowers. They were this gorgeous orange and yellow that just screamed awesome. I thought it they had a hint of red, and the entire hue was transferred to my head, I would be the girl on fire. My plan is to wait until the end of the Spring Season for soccer, and then the purple will be replaced with fire.



This is my favorite


My mom emailed me this morning with an assignment. She wants me to be excited about Ireland. She told me that the boys will be fine and even though she thinks the Brenans will be the ones missing out on not getting to spend time with the boys, my folks will get to spend a good chunk of time with them. Plus, she thinks that since this is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity, I should have a blast. She told me to not feel guilty. This makes the support for this trip unanimous which is very calming for my soul.

Soccer for a few hours tonight. We have practice and then a semi-emergency meeting in order to vote for our new commissioner. I am hoping it isn’t too long as we are bringing the boys with us. They will be fine. Shoot, when I put the iPad in front of them, all issues disappear. I just don’t want to have to keep them out too late.

Although I was a little annoyed that he chose to do this on my lunch break, I did appreciate the fantastic work review I got along with the 3.5% raise I got. In addition to this, the boss told me he did approve my bonus, which means I got 3 out of 4 of my quarter goals. I don’t know how much I get for that, but it is a couple hundred bucks, so woo hoo!

While at the dentist, I found out that I have had my crown for 10 years! Holy crap! It means they would like to replace it, and since it has been 10 years, it should be covered. I also have to go back in a few weeks because he wants to replace some of my super old fillings. He is a pretty thorough dentist, and I like that he is making sure none of the old stuff will cause me issues later. I just liked that while he was looking at my crown, Bobby was peering inside and exclaims, “Mom! You didn’t tell me you had a gold tooth!”

I was once again the female savior in the office. The screams of all the ladies alerted me to the fact that there was a critter of some kind. Poor little mouse had been killed via one of the traps I try to sabotage as best I can. I just find it curious how freaked out they all are when it is dead. It isn’t like it was going to go all zombie mouse on them. Hmm…might be an interesting Halloween Costume for this year.
