HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Remember to be nice to the Pumpkins on all Hallows eve!

On Halloween who would have thought

So today at work on all halloween day I was walking in from the warehouse to see both Patti and Sharon working with a ladder. As I got closer, Sharon asked me if I was scared of spiders. Being the hero to my wife, I said no! Sharon said good because we need you to kill a black widow spider that was in there office. I had never seen a widow before. So I was excited to see it. It is way wicked looking. Although I could not see any red markings on it. Anyway I got some paper towels and get on the ladder and swished it. They asked if I got it and sure enough once I squished it, it popped like a berry. It was for sure it was dead. I would have got a bottle and kept it around for a while if I would have thought about it. Just kinda funny to have that happen on Halloween. Go figure.

Oh my Job!!

So like I said a while ago that their are babies at my work that when they whine they get what they want. Well after that out burst I had. I now have another one. I dont like to complain about my work because one- any one can read this, two its not a good thing to do. I am just going to comment on some funny things that go on here. So one day I told my Idaho falls store its their fault things happen in purchasing and with freight. Well that caused a huge mess and I kinda got reprimanded for it. Well ever since a certain co-worker likes to make sly comments about me. I have been called worthless, unknowing, no help, ect. I have said something to my boss who talked to me but nothing came from it. I really did not care just funny how it changes when its the other way. So today this co worker of mine called to see when his transfer truck was leaving. I just told him his truck could ship as early as 8 am (when I scheduled it) or 10 am, or 2 pm or even next week sometime. His freight line he likes is horrible and hard to work with. Once I said that he said "you know this make you look........" He decided to not say anything after that. Good thing too I was going to lay down the law. We don't really see eye to eye. Its just funny that what I say can get me in some pressure but not the other way around. Really I do not care when his transfer leaves because he was a day late on getting us a request, pushed it back two days longer and making it harder on everyone else to make him happy. Its not how it should work.

So I Simpsonized and M&M myself to see what I would look like. Of course I got to pick the colors and I picke blue. I dont think either looks like me really. I could not really change my Simpson character but the MM was as close as I could figure with what they give me to work with. Not too bad I thought.

Just keep saying.... I love my kids, I love my kids!

It has been a long long week for our little family. Mckinley has had a cold and so she has been cranky and winnie all week long. Since she has been sick, she will not sleep longer then 3 hours in her bed. She comes running into our room in the middle of the night and will not go back to her room. If she does go back to her own room, she cries at the door for a couple of minutes tops before we let her back out! And when she sleeps with us- Alicen gets feet in her face and I have to stay in on position all night because Mckinley is right next to me. So for the week Allie and I are working on maybe 15-20 hours. And with Tait being his lovely self getting up twice in the night to eat, sleep is not going too well. Its been a long week and with it being close to the weekend, I am getting to be a little short fused. I don't mean to be mean but its hard to function with lack of sleep.
For instance, today at work (Friday) I just had a horrible day. I messed up an order earlier in the week. Where I ordered a truckload of the wrong grout to our Idaho store and now we will have to cover two freight charges, then our vendor botched an order sending too much product and I have to be the middle man in getting that all fixed. I am ready to be done for the week. But I have to work early on Saturday too. No rest until Sunday, if I am lucky!
I need sleep I am a walking talking zombie. life is just grand!
