I’m flushed with victory

May 13, 2008 | Things that piss me off, What the Heck?, Take this job and shove it

Those walkie talkie cell phones are a very good invention. But they can also irritate the crap out of me.

Today I witnessed the worst possible abuse of a walkie talkie cell phone.

 Bathroom use.

We have a huge conference going on here at the club. The lady who is obviously in charge (judging by the way she has been running around demanding things be done) went in the bathroom the same time I did this morning.

She was on a 3 way on her little walkie talkie phone. Not only did she take it into the bathroom with her; she continued to order her minions around with while she was, um… doing her business. Loudly. Yes, she was a loud pee’er. EW. I know that they had to hear what was going on, just by the sound of their voices when they were talking to her.  So, did I time my flush to when she was talking?

Oooooh yeah.

Reason # 1578 why my job drives me crazy

May 8, 2008 | Things that piss me off, What the Heck?, Take this job and shove it

Co-worker A just came over and threw out her plant.

Nothing wrong with it; its health and green as can be; she just tossed it in the garbage.

 

 

Co-worker B asked why she was tossing away a perfectly good plant.

 

 

Coworker A says, “cause the guy who waters the plants is gone on vacation for 6 weeks. It will be dead by the time that he gets back”.

 

 

Co-worker B says “oh yeah, huh” and leaves it at that.

 

 

Co-worker A sits RIGHT NEXT to the water dispenser!!!!  She can’t water her own damn plant?

Madness

May 7, 2008 | Food for Thought, Randomness

 

Madness does not always howl. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “Hey, is there room in your head for one more?”

If this trailer is a rockin’ don’t bother rockin’

May 5, 2008 | I married him..., Kids & Dogs

The scene: My living room. Mark and Tristyn are sitting on the couch watching The Simpson’s. Sideshow Bob is in prison. In the back ground are 2 trailers labeled “Conjugal Visit Trailer”. The trailers are rocking

Tristyn: HA! They are making love!

 

 

Mark: (shocked, jaw dropping): WHAT?!?!

 

 

Tristyn: Dad, they are making love. That’s why the trailer is rocking.

 

 

Mark: They could be remodeling you know!

 

 

Tristyn: Oh, yeah.

Yeah, Like we dodged that bullet.

How I became a Turnip

May 2, 2008 | Kids & Dogs, Its All About Me, Randomness

I tend to save things for my children. Each one of the kids has a big plastic bin of their own. I save newspaper articles and magazines of major things that happen in the world during their lives. I save outfits that have special meanings. I save things that they make or do, which have special meaning to me. I have even saved my first gray hair that I found. (See what you kids and your daddy did to me? Gave me gray!) 

I have saved the melted chunk of plastic that use to be a child’s play pan for when Tristyn decided to “make me a cake”. He put it on the stove, and turned it on. Stove + plastic dish = big mess, lots of melted plastic, and the fire department. Just incase you were wondering.

 

I have a little baggie of hair. When Tristyn decided to play barber and took off about 2/3s of Delaney’s long beautiful tresses. She looks cute in a very close bob. Now we know. 

Why do I save them? For posterity? Maybe a little. Perhaps so that when they are adults, they can look back at all the fantastic things that have occurred in their life time. So they can see where the world was at when they were born, and trace the path to where the world is at. See how man got there. Yeah, that is a little reason why I save. 

But mostly it is so I can tell them; when I am in my dotage, and have a sweet grandbaby on my knee – “Don’t you complain about my sweet grandkids. Look what you did when you were that age! Is it any wonder your poor mother had ended up a turnip?”

I told you he had a hard head!

April 29, 2008 | I married him..., What the Heck?, Its All About Me

This morning I got this comment:

April 28th, 2008 at 11:01 pm, Shit Luck Husband (that’s Mark) Says:

Ahh…I see she posted the dog attack. But she didn’t tell you about the KARI ATTACK…Ask Kari how the passenger windshield on my truck is broken..could it be my head?? hmmmmmmmm
 
on this Post:  http://www.crazyladyinvegas.com/?p=643#comment-2246

So I guess I need to come clean and tell you all about how I tried to put my husband thru the windshield.
 
Friday night, I went out to dinner and a movie with friends. We ate at Claim Jumper, and saw Baby Mama. Dinner – fabulous! Movie – Hysterical! It was a great night out. Then, I got home, and Mark wanted to go get something to eat.
 

Before we go any farther in the story. Yes. Mark was drunk. He spent the night hanging out and drinking with friends, and didn’t bother to eat the pizza that everyone else ate for dinner.
 

So Mark, Joey and I hop in the truck to go get something. I pull out of the drive way, ask what they want, and get the “I dunno” So I pull back in the drive way, say “if you don’t know, you can’t be that hungry”
 

“Nooooo! I’m really huuuungy. Pleeeeease take us to get something to eat” (Please imagine this said in a drunk husband whine voice)
 

FINE! LETS GO. We start to pull out of the drive way and he makes a smart ass comment about a woman driver. Joey, sitting in the back says “dude – she’ll hit you for that.” I had just put the car in drive – so I said “No, I won’t hit him, I’ll just do this”  and I did a “break check”  You know - where you tap the breaks really fast.
 

Not as funny as I thought it would be.
 

1 - Mark hadn’t put his seat belt on yet - we literally had just backed out of the drive way, and went about 5 feet forward.
2 – He was leaning forward and starting to turn around to make a comment back to Joey, so his hard head was pointed RIGHT at the windshield
3 – He has been drinking, so he is lacking grace. Not to mention, stability!
 

Well. He sort of hit hard enough to totally crack the windshield. About 8 inches wide, and top to bottom of spider webbing.  It’s really bad, and not funny at all, but at the same time - I couldn’t help laughing my ass off.
 

After I made sure he wasn’t bleeding, of course.

Working on the feeling better, along with some major freak out

April 23, 2008 | Things that piss me off, Its All About Me

I had my doctor appointment yesterday.  Can I just say? I *heart* Doctor Wenner! She is just fabulous. She listens. She cares. She takes the time to ask questions, and to answer them. She ordered x-rays of back, hips, and shoulders. She also ordered blood tests up the wazoo: THS, CBC, CMP, Lipid, Testosterone, FSH, LH, ANA, FR, and ESK. 

 

TSH is for making sure your thyroid is working right

CBC - The number of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are present in the patients sample of blood is determined. most common test done on the blood.

CMP – not sure

FSH - An acidic glycoprotein secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. In women, follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates the development of ovarian follicles (eggs) and stimulates the release of oestrogens

LH - A small glycoprotein hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary. Lh plays an important role in controlling ovulation and in controlling secretion of hormones by the ovaries

ANA -  Antinuclear antibody is an antibody that react against components of the cell nucleus such as DNA, RNA, histone or non-histone proteins.

FR – not sure

ESK – not sure

And she said that is for starters. I go back to see her on May 15th. We will go over all the results then, and see if we need more testing, or if we can start some sort of drug therapy.  Woo hoo! Drug Therapy!

 
Also, she believes I may be starting … no don’t say it. I can’t face it… MENOPAUSE. Holy crap! I am 35. I am NOT menopausal.  But apparently, my mom was completely done with the whole reproductive rigmarole by age 34. And Dr. W said that you can generally gauge your body by what your mother did.

 
Oh. Hell. No. I am not ready for that whole menopause shit. No. No. No. I have said that 3 kids is enough for us, and we don’t want any more. But I never really ruled out having more. Nothing has changed, really. But I want this to be my choice. Not something that is forced on me. The big M word sort of forces me from the prime of my life to being an old woman. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck! I should have a good 20 years of dealing with periods ahead of me. I have friends who are older than me, that are just now starting families. How can it be that I am coming to the end of mine?
