Busy Momma

I’ve decided to be the better person and not get into an argument on a friends message boards.  There is a certain person online that constantly has to put down other people.  I do believe that may be the definition of a bully?  Putting down other people to make yourself feel better.  Any time you contradict what she is saying she is all defensive and sooner rather than later the who “I’m a single mother that has made a ton of money with my businesses while raising my children, blah, blah, blah, SHUT THE FUCK UP!”

I’m not even going to get into the single mom thing in this post because then it would be too long and no one would read it, but beware, it’s coming soon.

So today this woman totally attacked another poster.  I mean no holds barred, mean.  Now I have been brought up that if you want someone to change their views you give them knowledge.  You don’t attack them and tell them how stupid they are.  This will only lead them to tune out out.  DUH

But it was brought up that we don’t have to read her posts.  You’re right, I don’t.  Unfortunately this means that I will no longer be frequenting a lot of different boards.  It has been hours since I read the posts she put up and I’m still pissed.  I don’t have the energy to waste on someone with so much hate in them.  I bet if she got laid she’d be a much happier person!

So I’m being bigger and I’m posting here.  I will contact the owner of the boards and let them know about this attack because I’m pretty sure it says in the agreement that you can’t attack other posters like she did.  But either way, I will make sure that I am on boards from now on that she is not on.  I can’t get away from it on a couple of boards and they were my home first so she can’t chase me away from them anyway.  lol

Do I have to keep working? Do I really? I hate when I get like this. I love my job, I really do. But it is draining. 24/7 draining. I am in a high maintenance industry. I understand that. There are weeks that I make multiple calls and innumerable texts to clients every day of the week to keep them on track or get them back on track depending on the weekend.

Don’t get me wrong, I do this for more than the money. I honestly love to help and I know that I am in the only thing keeping some of them working towards their goal of weight loss and being healthier. But the early hours are starting to get to me. That and the lack of knowing what my exact monies from month to month. If they go on vacation, then that is a week with no pay from them. Very difficult and I know I need to grab a couple more clients to help keep my sanity.

That and I need to get more of my sites rockin. I put up a new ebook called The Scrap Facts Guide. This will help you get started scrapbooking and get you creating albums in no time!

I have other ebooks to finish up and get loaded. I need more automation and more of this stuff loaded and not just sitting on my computer. Time to work my VA like she wants me to! lol

K, I’m seriously going to lose it soon.  I’m sure my modem is going bad.  I think it’s just over a year old, but the power clicks off and on so much I am afraid to download things anymore.  For fear it will click off during the download.  This is so not cool.  I have to call them this week and let them know exactly what it is doing.  Now, here’s the problem.  Is it only my luck that they will probably want to charge me for a new modem?  Do you think they will?  ARGHH, they better not.  I have no money for that right now.  And if it’s too much then they can kiss my ass and I’ll switch over to Directv.

I think it was only $300 to get the equipment now, plus $10 off my monthly tv bill and I can get rid of my phone line.  I wish I had other options.  :(  K, internet is back up so I can go copy/paste it into my blog now.  lol

Well I was too slow.  It’s clicking yet again.  Where is the paper I wrote down how much it would be to change to a new company?  I broke it all down a month ago.  That is how mad I’ve been.  This is stupid.

Here’s how the day started.  Hubby’s alarm clock hit the second buzz and I was instantly awake.  What was I doing hearing his alarm clock?  HOLY SHIT!  My appointment was an hour ago.  WTF?  Great, missed the appointment, can’t call her yet to beg forgiveness because her cell phone is dead and she is still at the gym.  I can’t believe I didn’t actually turn the alarm on.  I set the right time, but didn’t turn it on.  SHIT!

All the rest of my appointments went well.  Even my cranky one that likes to doddle through her workouts.  I moved her through a little quicker than normal which is a feat.  But dropped daughter off and school and did the usual asking if she has everything.  No lunch.  SHIT!  See it’s just one little thing after another.  lol  So I get the boys home and we almost miss the bus because I’m getting ready to go to work.  Put her lunch in my car and go to appointment.  Take her lunch over in between appointments and wondered if she had her soccer socks.  No sooner did I think it and park at work, then I get a text.  Forgot soccer socks.  SHIT, SHIT, SHIT!  Go now or try to get them over after my appointments.  Workout now or workout after appointments.  Decided to be smart and run home and grab them asap before other stuff gets in the way.

So now I’m on my way to do the little runaround and then STAY at home.  I booked morning appointments not thinking of the fact that hubby won’t be home until around 9.  Oh well, the kids will be sleeping for most of the time I’m gone anyway.  lol  They will be just fine.

My friend and I are counting down the hours in texts back and forth to each other.  Is it Sat. night yet?

ARGHHH, when is this week going to end.  I have already earned my girl’s night out, I don’t have to do more.  So every day has been a mess.  Don’t even want to post it all anymore because I’m sick of listening to myself whine.  My evening appointment made me seriously work for my money and that capped off my night.  Nuff said

Sent him to school no matter what.  I told him the night before and Dad had already told him the same thing.  lmao  I went to work in the am and had ok appointments.  Then get the kids off and running to school.  Get home to check emails a little before my dentist appointment.  Oh, the chatroom is down and we have an event on thursday.  HOLY CRAP!  Not good, and can’t figure out what is wrong with it.  Sent an email off to hosting company right away, there is nothing I can do about it and I haven’t touched anything in the hosting account since I uploaded and had it working last week.  ARGHHHHH

They contacted me within a few hours and some CGI thing was turned off.  Have no idea what that is, but I know I didn’t do it.  lmao

Wanted to go to work for a while in the evening, but alas, have to be home to pick up son from bus and then go out to the middle school to pick daughter up from first day of soccer practice.  Umm, this is gonna really cramp my time in the evenings for working if hubby isn’t home.

Son stayed home from school again.  WONDERFUL!  Hubby has to study for his final tests before getting off probation.  So I’m cutting all my day off yet again.  HMM, wonder how I’m supposed to be paying my bills when I’m the one that has to stay home when things come up.  Yep, it’s discussion time again isn’t it.

Well it was just one thing after another yet again, small things but they were there.  Hubby came home right as I had to leave, wasn’t happy about that.  And I could smell beer on his breath.  Not a big deal normally.  Except I had stayed home from work so he could study and he’s drinking beer while he’s studying.  NOT COOL!  I could have been at work if he was going to goof off.  Again, up for discussion isn’t it.

I don’t even know what else there was, nothing else of any real importance I guess.  OH I know what the other thing on Monday was.  I tried to do the upgrade on MWS and wasted a good hour+ on it.  It didn’t change a dang thing.  So we are going to hire the thing out, it’s much cheaper than hair implants.

So these are going to end up being kind of long, sorry about that.  But it’s been one hell of a week!  thank god I’m meeting a friend for a slumber party girls night at her house on sat.  I so need it after this crazy week.

It’s been so crazy that i can’t even remember all that has built up each day.  I meant to blog about it as it happened because I know that helps, but it was just one more thing in my day that I couldn’t get to.

So back to Monday.  Hubby worked 3 days this week, so I knew the week would go funky, it’s hard cause he is not here for 6 mornings, even though he works 3 days.  I was trying to prepare for that and my crazy scheduling.  Day had little things here and there and I was super tired.  Then got home and son is sick and staying home.  Wonderful, well I can’t cancel one of my appoitments, you’ll have to stay in the car for it.  Ok, no problem, game boy right?  WRONG, we get here to the gym and it is out of battery.  Well that is going to be boring as hell for him, but nothing I can do now.

Thinking that I can come back to the gym later when daughter gets home, it’s Monday night in Jan.  the place is packed and I want some new clients.  Daughter texts to remind me it’s yearbook after school.  Shit, ok, nothing I can do about that.  Figure I’ll still hit the gym when she gets home, activity bus usually gets here by 4:15.  So by 4:30 I’m kind of starting to worry and call her.  The bus driver didn’t map it out very well and they are going back and forth dropping people off.  She’s talking to me about needing to go to Carly’s because they need to talk to the police.  WHAT!  Can’t hear her very well because the bus is loud, so I tell her we will talk about it when she gets home.

Getting home was after 5.  YUCK!  That was way too long on that bus.  Sitting there eating dinner and she starts telling me that there was a guy on the side of the road on New Year’s eve with his pants down when they drove by.  WHAT?  k, not happy.  It’s been 14 days and this is the first I’m hearing about it.  She didn’t think it was that important is what she tells me.  I said if the parents called the police then don’t you think it was important enough to tell me?

So I was blowing it off at first, then realized I had to suck it up and take her over.  We grab one of the other girls on the way.  Get more of the story from the mom and then the officer.  Guess he was also doing something while he had his pants down.  So the reason she didn’t say anything was out of embarrassment.  K, i understand that, but how am I going to tackle this now?

We still haven’t dealt with this because it’s been something every day and hubby hasn’t been home.  It’s going to be a long weekend.

My main concern is that she didn’t talk to anyone about it.  Also, I drive 3 of the 4 girls to school EVERY morning and there was never any mention about it.  They usually slip up when they aren’t supposed to talk about stuff.  lol  But I’m concerned because I don’t want to be my parents.  If this had happenedto me, I would have never told my parents.  There are many bad things that they do not know and will never know.  I do not want that relationship with my daughter, but it’s so hard to talk about this stuff.  I really have to step up and be the adult.

Not me, but my son’s school bus.  Everyone is just fine, it was a minor one.  Just couldn’t stop at the light and slid into the car in front of them.  I feel really bad for the bus driver.  The roads were so bad.

Well I got the call from the receptionist at my gym at 11:10 that the school had called.  BIG SIGH.  I’ve told them to call my cell phone, the gym has nothing to do with me, I just work out of it.  Granted i am friends with them, but it is not their responsibility to call me and give personal messages.  But as I was on the phone with them, the health clerk was leaving a message on my cell.   Not sure how that happened without me hearing a click.

The message says that there was a minor fender bender, but everyone is just fine.  That my son had complained his neck hurt a little and told the cops that, but she just pulled him out of PE (where he was playing dodgeball!!!) and he seemed fine.  Well I call back and leave a message that I got the message and thank you for checking in, blah, blah, i do like the health clerk, she’s a sweetie.  But think on this, school started at 10am, so why am I getting a call an hour later when my son complained of neck pain?  Oh, it’s gonna get better, but remember he is ok.

She calls me at 1:15 because his neck hurts and he’s starting to get a headache.  I talk to him and he wants to come home.  Ok, I go tell my client we have to reschedule and I call my next appointment and do the same and I’m there in minutes.  I get there and we are chatting about it all and low and behold the cops never even called the medics to the accident.  My son told them he had neck pain and that story hasn’t changed no matter how many times I’ve asked him (you know how kids are) and he said that there were 2 other kids that complained about it too.  I assumed the medics had been there and written off that they were ok.  Since hubby  and our good friend are on shift today, I honestly wasn’t worried cause i knew what medics were there to check them out.  So no one has checked them out professionally and do remember that my son was playing dodgeball in PE!  ARGHHHH, yep, the boiling point is rising.

We went over to the fire station to get advice and then head to the doc’s office.  They weren’t going to be able to fit us in until I told them what happened.  They were awesome and got us in and in about 15 minutes no less.  They ROCK and I’m so sending them a thank you letter.  The doc thought it just seemed like a mild case of whiplash, but because of where he was complaining of the pain being she wanted some xrays.  So off to there and done in minutes there as well.  Nurse called back an hour after being home and there is no fractures or breaks.  Ice packs and advil are in order.

There were quite a few balls dropped on this that I’m not happy about.  They wanted me to call them and let them know how any check ups went and I will, but I really need to write a letter to a few people.  What if something serious had been wrong with his neck?  It was 2:30 before we got done at the doc’s office.  That is not acceptable.

Bitchy Friday, I haven’t posted here in a little while.  And guess what…?  It’s freaking friday!  HMMM, let me think of a bitch.

Oh wait, I was already coming here to bitch a little.  I was actually coming here to talk a little relationships, but bitchy friday came up at the top of the catagories.  lol

I will keep it quick.  We had it out on Christmas Eve.  Yes, cringe, holy shit that’s bad timing.  Umm, you can thank some good old whiskey for that timing, but whatever.  I was also pmsing at the time, so it ALLLLL flew out of my mouth.  But, the bitch is, now it’s all out and there has been no makeup sex.  hmmm, now I’m worried.  So yes, TMI for those that are friends, but you’ve already been warned that it might happen.  lol
