Need to Gripe!

OK, I know I haven't been on here much lately but I think I'm going through a bloggers blah or something. I haven't been in any mood to blog about my simple happenings in life. To be honest with you, I've been very moody lately and extremely opinionated. I usually try to keep my opinions to myself but today I lost it w/ one of my guys here at work.

I'm really big on appearances and when in the public eye on a daily basis I feel you should take pride in how you represent who your working for. Now from my past blogs I'm sure everyone understands how much I appreciate my job. I wish everyone at my job treated our bosses with a little more appreciation. I think starting with your appearance is crutial.

I walk into work this morning, not having the best of Mondays to begin with, sit down at my desk and in walks one of my tire techs and he stands right in front of me. What is the 1st thing I see, A BIG FAT HICKIE on his neck. This is just uncalled for and very unprofessional and it's not the 1st time with him. Pardon me for saying, but I feel it's soooo white trashy! Can't people get enough love makin in bed without leaving the details. To be honest, thats an inmage I care not think about every time I see him either, yuck! I of course had a comment explode from my mouth immediately:

Me:

Did you forget to feed your girlfriend this weekend?

Co-Worker:

Ha Ha, ya I guess so.

Me:

Don't you thing a T-bone would have been more nutritious?

CW:

(He snickers quietly at me with this very intelligent answer)

Ya probly.

Then he walks away laughing, like what he has on his neck is a trophy to the fact he has a girlfriend. I just wanted to knock him out!!!

I'm not really sure why this has upset me so much but hopefully after finishing this blog, taking a few deep breaths, and checking out what everyone else has been up to, I'll feel better.

My Little Man

You know there are just some days your children really brighten your day with their thoughtfulness for others. Something that we, as adults, may take for granted on a daily basis, unintentionally.

Well this weekend, Matt went with my dad to help remove a washer and dryer out of my grandma's house so the Menards people could install her new ones today. So this left Caleb and I at home and it makes me very happy that he wanted to stay home with me so I thought why not take him to McDonald's to eat lunch and just hang out. He still has that $5 G.C. his Grandma Susan and Grandpa Tom got him for Valentine's Day. I thought this would be a great opportunity for us to get out of the house and hang out a bit.

I suggest my thoughts on the afternoon and to my serious surprise....

Caleb says:
No thanks mom, I rather stay here at home and eat something.
Me:
Really?!? Why not?
Caleb:
Ya know mom, Mrs. Pruemer at school told me something I think is very important.
Me:
Oh ya Caleb, What might that be?
Caleb:
She said that if you have a day off you shouldn't go out and make someone else wait on you.
Me:
You really feel this way Caleb?
Caleb:
Ya mom, I just want to stay home and eat here. Then I want to play some basketball with you.
Me:
OK Caleb, how's a bologna sandwich sound with some chips.
Caleb:
Sounds good mom.

Now I can't say that he will feel this way the next time I ask him if he wants McDonald's however I will remember this past Sunday always in my heart. Knowing that my son is very thoughtful and compassionate towards others I know Matt and I haven't failed as parents. Plus I know he's learning something at school.....LOL!

I'm a lucky mom!
