It's almost here!!!

Well, Brendon will be home either Wednesday or Thursday. I can't wait. We won't know until the night before, but I'm ready. I hope he's learned his lesson.

It a bad day for report cards here. My daughter, who never gets below a B got three C's. I don't know what to do with her. Her dad really let her have it. She cried, he felt guilty. I just got angry. I am going to be doing a little investingating of her recent friend changes. Also will be doing some recon on her PC. Not letting another kid get away from me. Of course, she is 15. I think she may be rebelling. I think I may have to lock her in her room for the next 5 years. She gets her learners permit tomorrow. It's gonna suck when she can't drive anywhere because her grades aren't up to par.

Rumor at work is they are looking at outsourcing our department. They say this every couple of years. They have never found it to be cost effective, but you never know what is going to happen. I've worked very hard for me job, and to get where I am. And it pisses me off to think they can just take it all away from me to save a little money. Why should I be loyal to them, if they aren't loyal to me. It's a big crock of shit!!!

My Colts finally got into the Superbowl!!!!! Yippee!!!! They better not choke, or I'll have to change teams. Of course I say that every year. Go Colts!!!

Well, that's it for now. I'm sure I have plenty more to vent about...or bitch about as Mike says, but I'm tired. So, it's off to bed for me.

I've gotten lazy about this.

I know, i know. You don't have to tell me. I've been a very lazy blogger. Things have been so crazy. Between Mike and I we have had the flu, back trouble, vertigo, and a miriad of other things.

Christmas was kind of lazy for a change. We went to Mike's aunt and uncle's house. That meant I didn't have to cook. As far as Christmas morning, it's the first time I can remember it being daylight when we opened gifts since we had kids. And if it wasn't for the phone ringing, who know what time we would have got up. But we had a nice Christmas. I got an Espresso machine, which means that my addiction to white chocolate mochas is worse than ever. Now I can make them at home, and that is a bad thing.

Brendon is coming home this month. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I just hope he's learned something from this. He gets out on the 24th, or the 25th. We won't know for sure until the day before. I am so worried that he'll fall back into his old ways. I guess all I can do is wait and see.

Work sucks as usual. They are still screwing me around about my raise. They keep giving me more crap to do, and I have no time to do it. The analyst supreme keeps getting her little digs and cracks in. I just want to smack her. And the three biggest complainers in the department now sit in the same area. Talk about a bitchfest. You can't get anything done for all the bitching. I just wish I could tell everyone in that department what I really think of them with no repurcusions. But, that won't happen until the day I quit. Which could be sooner than anyone thinks. You never know what opportunities may arise in the very near future.

It's late, and I'm tired. So, signing off....
