The Creature is GONE

I do not believe it, my dreams and prayers have come true. The Creature officially resigned and has been escorted out of the builiding. She will not be back. I am thrilled. Finally peace and tranquility in our jobs. No more messes to clean up and no more covering a complete moron. I knew there was greatness in this world. There has been a big relief in our department. There was a lot of celebrating in our area. That is kinda of sad if you ask me, as someone's demise brings joy to others. I know however, her behavior is what has been questioned. Not her person.

On the family front, Monkey continues to grow and talk..matter of box, I am thinking of changing his name on here to Chatter box. I swear the boy will not cease talking from the moment he gets up until finally collapses. My mom states I did not talk until I was well after two..LOL I guess my mom gets some revenge now...LOL

Not much else going one here, just going to get off of here and go light some fireworks and do some celebrating..hehehe

Another Week has begun

Just some early pictures of Monkey from 2006-2007, man oh man how he has grown. And such a genius at an early age with the computer..LOL

My goodness, how time flies these days. My mom always told me that as I got older time would go faster, and dang it once again she was right. All I hope is that one day I have the same wisdom to pass on to the Munchkin. I can not believe another week has begun, which ultimately means my little Monkey is growing up. I keep telling him he is getting bigger, and he tells me "No, Mommy I stay a baby." Oh how I wish he would stay a baby on one hand, but the other I can not wait for him to grow and learn. To live life and most of all to enjoy the journey.

I am a firm believer that it the journey that makes life all the more worthwhile. Though the journey may be bumpy, long, and at time dark...in the end when we are all together again, it will be worth every tear, smile, joy, hurt, and love.

That said...work was a hurt..LOL

It was just me today on the Medicare line, which is a pain in the tush let me tell you. Plus trying to clean up the Creatures cases has been an absolute nightmare in itself. We have all had to basically null and void everything the Creature did and start over. Tell me why in the earth would you have a nursing careplan on someone who is actively on Hospice and dying on a careplan to educate and address Advance Directives...uh hello..that is what hospice does before they accept you. Why on earth would you have someone on Ensure for weight gain-when they are actively dying? This is the silliness we have and are dealing with. Hopefully the Creature will stay gone. Oh how I pray for this.

Well better go and get the Munchkin something for dinner.

Pretty Boring Day

On the positive note, we now have a working refrigerator, it sucks living out of coolers for a week. The Thermostat and Defrost timer went out again, I guess we have a real lemon on our hands. When our service warranty runs out, I guess I get a new frig..LOL

Mister works weekends, so Munchkin and I went shopping-which he loves by the way, after the repair man left. Munchkin got a new puzzle and some legos. Then we bought a bunch of stuff at Costco and Freddie Meyers. Did not do much, except put things away and do dishes. After it cooled down a bit this evening I went out and weeded the front flower beds a bit.

The weather is suppose to turn yucky for a couple of days, so we will just hang out tomorrow and I will do the laundry...now does that not sound like a rip roaring fun time. Maybe I be kind and cook Mister dinner tomorrow night when he gets home. LOL

Whew, Friday is almost over

I think I was wrong, and I have probably been wrong my entire life about Fridays. I used to think Fridays were fun and relaxing...but I am having some major second thoughts. Frankly, it was crazy today. We had some silly bakesale, now don't get me wrong the cause was awesome-Susan B Koman fund, but when it takes away key people you work with and you end up doing additional work because they are tied up for a blasted bakesale, it makes for a long tough day. My specialist was only suppose to be gone an hour, she ended up something like 3 or more. It was crazy. I will never take advantage of her again. Thank you Compadre, you are the best.

Friday traffic home is usually horrible, so that delays us getting home. Most of the time it is a nice commute, even on bad days, but when you are tired and just want to get home..it gets a bit rough.

We will get our refrigerator fixed tomorrow, it has been out all week-think the thermostat went bad..thank goodness for extended service warranty. It won't cost us a thing.

Good news on the home front, is Monkey was dry all day at daycare. Of course he never said he needed to go potty, they just took him and told him to go...he will now pee on command. LOL

I will put him on the potty and tell him "You need to pee, Monkey." He will look at me and "Okay Mommy-just a moment" He is priceless. The Mister made me dinner tonight so that grand of him. Even though work was crumpy today, life is good my friends. And because of Monkey...my day will always end the best note possible..LOVE.

The Creature strikes again

Well the Creature decided to come in today for all of about 90 minutes. We were told she is taking Medical Leave again for two weeks..oh goodness. The weird thing is that this time she was escorted out..so I have a feeling she is not coming back..Oh could Heavenly Father love me that much, that he has decided I have been tormented enough by the Creature, that He is taking pity on me and getting her out of my life? Could I? Well, I guess in two weeks I will know. For now, I will continue to pray for that.
Now, I realize I am probably being evil, but after two years of her antics...it is a relief to think that maybe the end is near. I just hope.
Now on to the home front, Munchkin is still playing the night owl..I am dying..LOL Mister trys to help, but Munchkin only wants mommy. Now that you think about it, I want my mommy..LOL
I am really excited to see my little nephew and mom in a couple of weeks. My nephew is 4, and we are taking them to the zoo and Little Red wants to see the ocean..so we may do that, not sure on that one yet.
Have a lot of plans coming to go to the different fairs coming into town for me and my friend from to take our boys too, they are both 3. They are actually old enough to start to enjoy these kind of things now. :)
Good News, Munchkin was dry again this morning and used his little toilet. YAHOOOO!!!!!!!
Not much else going on...just will keep praying.
Can't wait, tomorrow is FRIDAY....:)

Another Hump Day Over

Man oh man, am I always so glad to see Wednesday come and go. It means it is getting closer to the light of Friday. I have figured out I have a little night owl on my hands, the Munchkin has decided he is not able to go to sleep until nearly 11pm every night this week, which makes for a very short night for him-ok us-as we get up at 6am so he can get to daycare. I kid you not, he will toss and turn and toss and turn forever, play with his blanket, pillow, whatever else he can get his hands onto to fiddle with until he finally gives up and goes to sleep. I am so hoping tonight he will just let me go to sleep as I am exhausted.

Today at work went great, the Creature, decided to call in sick for whatever reason. We all have a pool going to see if she will be in the rest of the week, since she has never in the patterns ever called in during the middle of the week without including Thursday and Friday in the mix. Must be nice to have a 5-7 weekend every 1-2 weeks. We were thinking at work that she might have made a record of working actually 7 work days in a row..but we were unable to confirm this record, alas and give her some type of trophy.

I am really enjoying my role as a case manager, and now I am the senior case manager for our company. SO that means I get a lot more interuptions and questions, but I love it. It brings back my days of being a Director of Nursing and trying to spin all the plates.

I also love Wednesdays because it means I get my accupuncture treatment, which has been the best thing for my back. I actually have my life back again and I am not in pain every day due to the herniated disk and bone spur growing back there. Plus it is keeping the surgery out of the picture, as I really do not want to go down that road.
Well better go and get dinner finished and then hopefully Munchkin and I can go to bed early and just cuddle.

Hope everyone has a great evening.

Proof my son is crazy...maybe he is smart..trying to catch a nap where ever he can..LOL
