Yay for Friday! I always love when Fridays arrive. It means that for the next two days I get to spend my time doing whatever I want, playing with my kids, hanging with my hubby. It always seems so unfair to me that I dedicate the majority of my life to a company that gives me little (other than a paycheck) in return. What do I gain from it? Learning how to act invisible to avoid a boss that thinks he's the king of the world. Invisibility would be a nice function to have elsewhere, but alas, I cannot hide from all problems.
Unhappiness...it's such a tricky topic really. It's very clear to me that some in my life are quite unhappy right now. My best friends father passed this week...it's so sad :( Another friend is in fear of losing her job, her plans aren't falling together as they should. My husband's job is driving him insane and some of that general ickiness certainly trickles into the house, and the kids and I feel his anger (while filtered, his general unhappiness is pretty well written in his face). My boss, not so happy because the 'jobs' aren't pouring in. That's never good for any of us...especially those of us who need to remain employed. Sounds like a big fat happy world out there, doesn't it? Money. Don't get me started on that one...it's never a source of happiness.
So, through some general unhappiness..comes a ray of sunshine and excitedness for a vacation we're planning to take in early October. Just the 4 of us, a trip to the mountains of North Carolina and a stay in a cabin in the woods, topped off with a little Jeep trip, and then a short train ride through the mountains to *hopefully* see some leaves kissed by autumn. I'll be bringing my camera, don't worry! Also, I got a random message on a photography message board from someone who lives in my area. She said she loved my work and wants to know if I'm accepting clients :) Yay, that was exciting! Of coarse, I don't have my business license so I can't technically take on clients that pay...so that's not so exciting.
The kids start school again on this coming Monday. Raegan is excited...it'll be a bad day for Logan again I'm sure. I was so upset with Fay for coming in the first week. He did 'ok' on the first day when I dropped him off, but I don't know how well he'll do on a 2nd '1st' day. If he can get a few consecutive days of happiness, he'll be fine. I just hate that sad look on his face :(
Pizza. Friday night is our traditional family pizza night at a little local shop called 'Rae's". I look forward to it, but we'll probably have to skip it for a month or so. Big shock, we have residual money issues from the damn rental house from hell. I have such animosity towards the people that own it. We were such good tenants, never complained, called ONE time in 2 years, and took care of the place above and beyond expectation...only to be told that the few koolaid stains in the carpet are going to cost nearly the entire security deposit. What a wasted effort it was to bother getting that house in order to be shot in the foot for our efforts. I'm so bitter over the whole deal and my gut just churns to think of the months of fall-out we have to clean up because they were jerks about the situation. Whatever. So anyways, the pizza...my dad bought a boatload of pizza crusts from a 'crash and dent' store that we froze and I'm going to search online today to see how to make them work. From what I understand they are the formed pizza crusts that say Sams Club would use to make their store-brand pizza. Can't be hard, but from frozen I'm not sure of the steps needed.
Well, back to the grind. I'm ticking the minutes away that I sit at this desk being underpaid and I would guess that runs parallel to under-appreciated. At least it's a paycheck...gone before it hits the bank, but money none-the-less. Yay.
Wow, just a little ray of sunshine, aren't I?
