Reality Bites

Well, I have had to come to realize that I hate my job. I was trying really hard to find all the good in it for so long, like the people, and being someone other than Mommy, but I have to be honest.... I just plain hate it. I was almost promoted out of it too, which I thinks makes doing the job even harder, but the promotion was "taken back" because hiring a new person to take my current position was denied. It is really too bad that this is true too. It was the only "good" thing, besides Munchi, happening in my life right now. This too shall pass, this too shall pass.

If any of your know of a position for someone with great project skills, who can only be in the office 6 hours a day but is willing to work at night from home, please let me know.

Funny Story

So I know it has been forever since I blogged, so I may be telling this to myself but Munchi did the funniest thing last night. He currently had tonsilitis, so he is not feeling very good and not sleeping very good. Many of you know, this is also my first week of being a single mom now, so I have been home alone at night to be up with him and then dragging myself out of bed to go to work each morning. Sorry, I digress. Last night Munchi was dreaming, and something scared him, so about 4:30 in the morning I wake up to him screaming, "I NEED MY MOMMY!!" Since I just got to bed at 2:30 from the last wake up moment, I have to admit, I went in his room lacking sympathy. I tried to put his aquarium on and leave but he just started crying more, so I got him up and sat him on my lap for a while, where he decided to tell me ALL about his dream, FOR A HALF AN HOUR. He just could not stop saying, "Member when the car crashed?", "Member how I got scared?" (this is all stuff that happened in his dream), so I am trying to tell him it is only a dream, and he corrects me by saying, "No Mommy, it is not a dream. It was on the TV in my crib. It scared me but it turned off when I opened my eyes." 4:30 in the morning and I am laughing and hugging my kid, being thankful I got to be the parent with him when he had this revelation. They are not dreams, he is watching TV in his head!

Munchi's New Haircut

Obviously we will not be styling his new do like this everyday but it was fun to freak Grandma out a little bit!

Can't wait

My best friend is having a baby in about 6 weeks. And today I had the privilege of feeling him move and kick. He even pushed against my hand when I pushed on him. I really cannot wait to meet him. And if he is anything like his brother, he is going to be one heck of a charmer!

I hope someone reads this

I really hope someone out there is still reading my blog. I need help. Dirk's birthday is on Thursday. WHAT DO I GET HIM????

My Mom

Okay, so I know I should really be sure to value my time with my Mom, and appreciate her for who she is, but she is making me a little crazy these days. I know it is because I talk to her more now and spend way more time with her but I can't help it. I went out with her on Tuesday night to a really great play, but we had dinner before and I did not know if I was going to be able to make it through. Every time I stopped talking or looked at something else, she would ask me, "What" or "Is everything okay?" By the tenth time, I wanted to scream. And then she would not stop STARING at the table next to us, whose kid was throwing a major tantrum. I even said something to her about it, and she just kept staring.
And now tonight she calls, we chat for a while, and I tell her about this lady at my work who I have issues with. And she totally zones out. I can tell she is not listening, but then she hears that this lady thinks I am unprofessional and she decides that is something worth discussing and chooses to school me about how I need this job and I need to act appropriately, like I am sixteen and think it is more important to have fun at my job than be a professional adult. AAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!
I love her. Really, I do.

My Friend Lover Boy

My very good friend, who I have nick named Lover Boy, is going to start working at Kondaur with me. I could not be more excited! The longer I work, the more I realize how much I missed it. And now I work for my favorite boss and get to work with my favorite boy. I just hope Dirk can stay comfortable with being home with Munchi for a while..... I think this could really work out for the best for all of us. I feel much more balanced and I think Dirk is enjoying working on things at the house he has been wanting to do.
