Girl, Interrupted...

Today was nightmarishly depressing. My customers were all going through divorces, deaths in the family, financial hardships, etc. And I deal with this crap all the time but today I felt like I should be getting paid therapist fees. I had to have a beer when I got home...
Lets catch up first...
Saturday I made it to Outback Steakhouse. I had a great meal, free blooming onions, a couple of drinks and most importantly, great conversation with some wonderful ladies. I met a new wife too, Nikki. She was a sweetie. Jessica brought her baby boy, now 6 months old. I held him and I loved it. I love new babies.
I really don't remember what I did on Sunday, but I do remember it being a great weekend. So I guess it was decent. I know I got the garage a bit more organized over the weekend. That was a great accomplishment.
Monday-today, the west coast people aren't any different than the southwest customers. The systems are different and the rates, etc. But ultimately, same sh*t, different day...
I got the kids pictures back from daycare Friday. They came out really good. Except for getting Pinky to smile. Ellie broke my coffee pot one day last week when I asked her to wash dishes. She had a bad attitude about doing it and I bet that's how it got broken from her tossing stuff around. She won't admit it but... I bought a new one today. A snazzy GE one. I have never spent more than 25.00 on a coffee pot. This one was 40.00 and has some cool features. I miss not having my coffee on the weekend. The replacement carafe from the old pot through Black & Decker was almost as much as I paid for the pot! Ridiculous. Anyway, I hope I like this one.
Elliebear also had a recital for orchestra on Tuesday evening. It was a 5th and 6th grade combo program. They did a pretty good job. Cici and I went to the dentist on Tuesday AM. I was scolded for not flossing. Hey! I brush at least twice a day. I floss occasionally. I admit my laziness. So far I have flossed each evening since. Let's keep it up! Cici has to go back on the 6th. She had new spacers put in for her braces and will need to get them removed and hopefully have the bands put on. I will be so glad when this phase is over!
I finally started filing my taxes online this week too. I have so much to do, it's just ridiculous. I think I am ready for Bruiser's bday. 10 days from now, she will be 3! And 15 days from now, the twins will be two. I have nothing for them for gifts, but Sheridan is froggied out! Then there's Cici and Ellie in May. I put away the 50.00 GC we got from Christmas from the FRG party for Gamestop and will use that for Cici's gift. She is the video gamer of the house and she got enough for Christmas. I still have some left over ice skating tickets from another FRG function and I was thinking of letting Ellie invite some of her friends to go skating and have a semi-party without scheduling a party, if that makes sense. I want to have a party for the little ones when daddy is home to enjoy it.
And on a more personal note, I am still spotting. UGH. I am really excited about honey coming home. I am ready for it. I know we have a lot to work on as far as coming up with a new budget and he has a huge "honey do" list from stuff around the house that decided to malfunction while he was gone. But he'll be home! I can't wait! The anticipation is killing me!
