I’ve been working about 60 hours a week for the last year, so that has been tough on me. When I’m not working I try to spend most of my time catching up with my husband, who also has a very busy schedule at work. Sometimes we both work so much it feels like we are just roommates who see each other in passing instead of spouses. Because both of us work so hard, a lot of our home life is disorganized and crazy. We have a hard time fitting in our friends and family, and forget about taking care of bills. Sometimes we discuss making adjustments at home, like changing wireless internet providers, but then we just forget and it never gets done. I’m grateful that we at least have a maid who comes in once every other week to pick up after us, because if it wasn’t for her our house would probably look like a science experiment gone bad. I really don’t think that we can go on like this for much longer. I hope work slows down soon so we can spend some time together and get organized.

Well it seems that my sister may be the only one in the family that will really get what she wants for this Christmas since no one is responding to my email that I sent out weeks ago asking for gift suggestions, except my kid sister who didn’t waste any time sending me request for all cotton scrubs for her to wear at work. She even sent me the direct link to site that has a ton of medical uniforms at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/Original-Scrubs/ that she has used before and is thrilled with the prices, the quality and the various styles that they offer there.
It just drives me crazy to have to wait until the last minute to have to find all the presents that are required of me to purchase for our ever growing family. With Christmas less than two months away there really isn’t a whole lot of time left especially since I do most of my shopping online and you have to wait for your purchase to be delivered, which of course takes time.

Last month my bank changed over to being a Wells Fargo bank, which I’m not too happy about, but not much I can do about it right now. What is a real bummer is that all the employees that I had gotten to know, relied on and looked forward to seeing when I came are no longer there, which really bites.
Today I had go inside because the teller at the drive in window was giving me a hassle about a check that I wanted to cash, which was never an issue before Wells Fargo came into the picture. I was surprised to see that this very small home town branch now had these stanchions with the nice and plush looking velvet rope (which I’m sure customers such as myself helped pay for) placed in front of the tellers for their “crowd control” issues. What crowd is what I want to know? What a joke.
Next thing I expect to see is some of barricades put into place for the employees that are conducting business behind the desks and in their high and mighty offices that now look very uninviting to the eye, sigh . .

Our oldest son has always had issues with his teeth, and now that he is grown and out on his own I’m afraid that he isn’t taking his oral hygiene as seriously as he should be and I’m not happy about it one bit. I have spent so money on this kid’s mouth that it just isn’t funny and to think that he isn’t following up on all the time, money, effort and work that has been put into that mouth of his just jerks my chain.
His girlfriend sent me an email today informing me that she thinks that he needs to see a Periodontist and is asking me to step into the picture and urge him to find a Periodontist that will take his insurance and is taking new patients. So I have decided to do a bit of the leg work for him and went to smilegeneration.com to see if I could find a Periodontist for him. I love how the Internet makes a task such as this a much easier task to tackle, it sure beats thumbing through the Big Yellow Book trying to find what you want and need. I don’t even have any phone books in my house any more, they were just taking up space and collecting dust so as soon as one arrives at the end of the drive way they go straight into the paper recycling bin and good riddance to them all.
So I did find a couple of Periodontists that fit the bill and I have sent him an email with the information that is needed and I can only hope that he takes it from there, if not I guess I will have go into my “nag” mode and I really don’t like going there any more than I have to.

Do you ever get tired of being nice all of the time? I do. My mother is always telling me that when someone does me wrong that I’m supposed to “turn the other cheek.” My reply to her is “I only have four cheeks, what do I do when I run out of cheeks?” She just laughs at me. But seriously, I get tired of being nice and letting other folks take advantage of me. When I become assertive and stand up for myself, people accuse me of being an (expletive deleted.) Sigh…. I get tired.
