last night of drama

It was my last night of work tonight. I thought it would be an easy uneventful night. But I was wrong. Man I hate when that happens.

I had the deli girl up at my till pointing at me telling me we needed to talk, we got shit to talk about, asking me if we are cool. I was busy at the time so she came back later. I had to go to another area to take care of some stuff and the manager had to babysit me for fear this chick would be on my ass immediately. Nice huh. I had only been back there a few minutes when the manager came running back to me saying the 2 girls (the deli girl and high school girl) were missing and she was making sure I was okay and they weren’t back there causing more shit. OMG! They weren’t thank goodness!

But the deli girl came back to my till later yelling at me that I almost got her fired! I was like WOAH wait a minute! I didn’t do shit to get anybody fired. You two started this whole mess/lie! So then she tells me that the high school girl started it all by saying I was going around telling people the deli girl gave my “boyfriend” a hickey!! Ummm… NO I didn’t say anything. The high school girl came and told ME that you told her that. What a confusing lie they’ve got going on. Anyway… she kept telling me I almost got her fired and that she doesn’t even like the high school girl. That’s when I decided it was my turn to be in charge and call her on THAT lie. I said well you two seem to be pretty chummy when you’re here at work so that doesn’t make any sense that now you don’t like her. She said she’s just nice to her when she’s at work because she wants to keep the peace.

Wow. I haven’t been running around the store pretending to like people to keep the peace. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

I told my manager I needed to go running to the high school girl now and freak out telling her that the deli girl doesn’t like her! LMAO!! I was completely kidding and she knew it, but it was DAMN funny to think about!!

I’m going to miss so much at work, but at the same time I’m not going to miss it. Not for a while anyway. I’m sure I’ll be wishing I still had that little break sometimes, but I’m going to enjoy the summer and think about that place later.

things i WON’T miss at the store

*The drunk guy who told me my hair looked like shit.

*The drunk guy who told me I was the love of his life. GAG ME!!

odd dipping

Little man found a new snack a couple weeks back and I can’t believe he’s still eating it. He dips those mini-saltines in pudding. He doesn’t care what flavor of pudding it is either. Last night it was either vanilla or banana cream.

I can get him to eat pretty good if I find things for him to dip. Breakfast he likes to dip toaster sticks filled with maple syrup in more maple syrup, as if he doesn’t drink enough of that already. He’s been getting syrup these past couple weeks, I ran out of honey and the prices drove me back to syrup, for now. I need to make a trip out of town for groceries and I’ll stock up on honey now that I know he liked it just as well.

Today has been a MUCH MUCH better day. It’s just me and little man. We took brother to school and didn’t come back inside until it was time for a nap, which I made him take early because it’s big brother’s school program today. We walked to the grocery store and bought poopin’ medicine for Mommy, a doughnut for little man and some wet wipes for when he finished his doughnut. We walked to another store in search of tennis balls, but came out empty-handed. Walked back home because the other store we needed wasn’t open for another half hour. So we played outside, practiced some more riding bike. He’s THIS close to figuring out how to pedal and ride brother’s old bike. THIS close! So I just pushed him around on it and kept helping him push the pedals. That made for lots of fun when he’d stand up and step back on the pedals to lock up the brakes and I’d jam my toe into the training wheels and he’d laugh his ass off. Nice son. Thanks.

Back to town we went. Walked back to the store, got our tennis balls and walked back home. By that time the trains were moving. I told him we could walk, it’s only a couple blocks, but he wanted to drive and since I was driving to see trains we just went the extra couple blocks to the second hand store too. Yeah! It’s like heaven for weirdo’s like me who want bargains. There’s also some crappy deals there, like the jacks little man just HAD to have. I pay 2 bucks for AE shorts, 3 bucks for A&F shorts, 2 bucks for shorts for big brother and 50 cents for a set of crappy jacks that I’ve already stepped on I don’t know how many times. Some are probably already missing from my kicking them across the kitchen after stepping on them. Oh the joys.

It’s my last 2 nights of work tonight and tomorrow night. You know how you get when you know you’re going to be done working somewhere. It’s SO hard to go. At least I have the good shift so I’ll be done by 9. I’m taking a bat with me. I got pulled into the office AGAIN the other day and was told by the main manager that she doesn’t believe the deli girl she decided. Apparently she’s heard too much “stuff”. Ummm… okay. She said her and the high school girl worked together the night before and didn’t have any problems so she thinks I’ll be just fine. Great. Thanks. Does that mean I should watch my back because this crazy chick is going to curb stomp my ass or does that mean it’s done and she’s moved on? 2 nights… 8 hours… I can do this.

we almost made it through half a day with little excitement

The day started out normal, son forgets school project… Mom lectures him on importance of being prepared… son calls numerous times because it’s not there yet and he needs it… Mom has 2 carseats and 3 kids… has calls made to 2 people asking for HELP!!… carseat arrives… help arrives to take project to school with appoximately 5 minutes to spare… school project makes it to school… Mom and kids make it to school for State Fair.

Phew.

Mom and kids come home, eat watermelon for snacks.
New little boy who was just here for one day has an accident.
It’s diarrhea.
It’s everywhere. Bathroom floor, toilet, tub, sink, him, me, clothes. Just everywhere.
I’ve got him stripped and cleaning up.
Little man is waiting in hallway.
Mom’s up to her neck in poo.
Little man leaves hallway.
Mom keeps cleaning poo.
Mom hears little man crying.
Goes to office (AKA… room with new floors, paint, etc)
Finds little man like this…

Look at me go! I’m like super-freakin-Mom. I didn’t even bat an eyelash until I had pictures! lmao.

So then Mom has poop all over bathroom along with footprints of nail polish. Poop in the sink. Nail polish in the tub. 2 kids crying. Nail polish in 2 rooms. Thank gawd I kept the poop all in 1 room! We call Daddy. He says he’s got another call to go shooting tonight. Mommy hangs up on him. Then she goes to cry and clean. Oh wait. I was crying. But I wanted to post this. So now I’ll go clean. I’m done crying. I’m not laughing yet. I’m not sure how long it’ll take for this to be funny. You’d think when this kind of shit happens everyday I’d laugh it all off. But not yet. I’m not that crazy yet. I did hear talk of more kids…. wait…. that means I AM crazy. What if there’s TWO of him!!!!!

Little man… I Love You!!!

the people on the OTHER side of the camera

We had the family over for BBQ today and then tonight they came back for some fire pit fun and treats and smores. Mmmmm.
