RIP Maternity Leave

Today is my first official day back at work. I planned to take it easy, and boy have I. I have done nothing but surf the web all morning. I missed the internets. I guess that's a plus to being back.

Leaving Andy with my mom this morning wasn't hard. I guess because it's my mom and not some strange daycare. I went at lunch and he was sleeping soundly on my brother's bed. He didn't wake up till I was about to leave. I do miss him though.
I miss hanging out with him all day.
I miss my couch.
I miss my DVR.
I miss watching True Blood.
I miss reading.
I miss reading to Andy after his morning nap.
I miss my PJs.
I miss napping.
I missed Monday Mommy Movie today.
I miss walking to SB with Andy....wait....that only happened once. Still...I miss being able to if I wanted to.

Yeah...there's a lot to miss. But I like the internet to keep me busy.
I like talking to adults.
I like not talking about baby stuff.
I like not talking at all.
I like peeing when I want to.
I like getting dressed.
I like putting on makeup and combing my hair.
I like eating healthy.
I like eating...period.
I like being able to roll the windows down.
I like fresh air and not A/C.
I like being able to hear the radio.
I like being able to "run errands" without the extra load.

So its got its pro's and con's.

Since my CW Chris isn't here today [out with the flu] I plan to do no work. I haven't been caught up and don't want to mess with the money that someone else has been counting. This is good for you since it has given me time to blog. Praying that this becomes a daily thing.

Tonight we're hosting a pre-election night/SNL Bash party. Any excuse for a party really. I have a feeling that the only guests at this party will be me, Andy, and G. We'll see. I really wanted to have an Election party tomorrow. I love watching CNN and seeing all the states turn blue or red....but mostly blue. Totally lame...I know...but another excuse for a party. Plus, we suddenly have like 5 bottles of wine in our stash! A miracle! We never have more than half an opened bottle [Thanks Rob for the 2 bottles on my birthday. Another 2 came from our wine tasting night at the San Dimas Wine Shop with my friend A on Friday night. Totally cool place btw. The 5th bottle was purchased at Costco before any of the other 4 showed up.].

Don't forget to VOTE tomorrow people! No matter who you vote for, let your voice be heard!

I'll be going at lunch time. It's never busy at our polling place during that time. Might go in the morning. I'm also thinking of swinging by the democratic headquarters on Lake Ave to purchase us some OBAMA/BIDEN t-shirts for our parties that no one else is attending but us. Good times.

Ever wish some one would expire??

I don't necessarily mean death. More like....their time is up. You know like, "time to toss out this expired milk!" There is one person I wish I could toss out.

I think when people retire, they expire from the work force. They're no good anymore. So whythefuck is my expired boss hiring expired employees?!?!?! Seriously. I need a new job. Enough of this circus!

Retired people need to stay retired!!!

WTF man. What is up with old people retiring and then getting bored and meddling in other peoples jobs? What The Fuck? This bullshit is seriously starting to piss me off. All these damn people retire and then one day wake up bored out of their minds and decide to call up old friends and colleagues to convince them that they need to be hired part-time to do some bullshit job that isn't necessary and only wastes money that I could use in a raise like every other normal working human. And then my boss goes and cries about not enough money in our budget to get shit done. RETIRED PEOPLE NEED TO STAY RETIRED!!!

wait....what in the name of.....this bitch is sitting at her pretend desk whispering secrets!!! Already?? Just because I put on headphones doesn't mean I can't hear anything!!! O-M-G. I'm gone for a month and the shit falls apart. These damn wannabe retired folks think they have my boss wrapped around their little finger. And they probably do!! That's the saddest part. He is such a push over. His heart is way too big. Argh this place is pissing me off. And here I was thinking I missed work. This is only reminding me of how bad I need to get back on track with a career. I didn't graduate college for nothing. I'm wasting my time here. Nothing new.

So pissed. Must calm down. Must walk out of here.

Work it out

So I'm finally back at work! Today is my first day back. I'll only be doing half day today and tomorrow, but a full day Friday. I decided that today would be a sort of spring cleaning day for my desk. A lot of sorting out from last year. So far I've been here 3 hours and have only cleaned out my email inbox. Oh well, what else is new. Shouldn't really expect to get much work done the first day back. Plus, I'm more interested in catching up on my internet surfing. Again, what else is new? ;)

In other news, the fact that I'm back at works means that things in the fetus department are progressing nicely. G & I got one of those home doppler's to hear the fetal heart beat. We tried it out this morning and after much searching we found! So all is good.


Here's hoping I'm back to normal blogging!

A prayer to 8lb 6oz Baby Hey-zus

Dear Lord Baby Jesus -

This morning I learned that it has not been proven that you were born on December 25th. I'm not really sure what to do with this information. And if this "new" information is true, then why is it that we celebrate your birth on the 25th? Baby Jesus, please use your omnipotent powers to shed some light on our ignorant boss. This holy Christian man that can't even remember your birth. Yesterday, Khriz & Cat tried to fight for your rights. Much to the horror of our boss, they removed you from your manger as you have not been born yet and should not be displayed in the nativity scene. Is this really just a Catholic tradition? Has the Seminary turned it's back on us after encouraging and welcoming all religions?

Oh newborn, fragile Baby Jesus, with your golden fleece diaper, know that every time I walk into the front desk and see you in the manger....i know the truth. I will continue to believe. Our boss thinks that just because he "runs the place" he can put your 8lb 6oz infant body out for display whenever he pleases. "Because why have a nativity scene with no Jesus?"

And as Cat said, we pray that you can use your Baby Jesus powers to knock some sense into his hard head.

Thank you dear Baby God.

Amen



***Now please go check out Cat's letter to the very powerful Baby Hey-zus.

Office Art

I must start out by saying that this was not my idea. I have seen it on a couple of blogs [i searched all morning for the blog I saw this on and couldn't find it. I don't remember how I came across it to begin with]. I was bored and ordered too many post-its - office art was born.

Behold the Office Tetris Board!

Yes...this is what I just did in the office.....in the back part of the office...where my boss won't see it anytime soon. It's on the back bathroom door. Took me all 15 minutes...maybe 20. Since we still have so many damn post-its left...I think I will create a new piece of art every week. More often if I feel inspired.

Just another example of how much we don't do at work.....as far as work re-lated work goes. Let's just think about this as my 15 minute break. hehehee

....i crack myself up.....really...I do....


***********************************
Oh yeah - if anybody asks....I brought these post-its from home. ;o)
