And then the planets lined up just right...

I have had a crazy couple of days. First, I worked 14 1/2 hours yesterday and 10 hours today. Crazy long days but some strange stuff happened these last 2 days...

First, the resident that wanted his $50 yelled at me for having favorites. Truth be told, of course I have favorites but not in the way he implied. He implied that his food comes last because of me, ridiculous. The man actually had rage in his eyes.

Next, I had a very interesting conversation with a lady at the home. We were talking about her family. She has only one child, a daughter. From her she got three grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. When I asked her what happened to her husband. She told me that he was a "sex nut" and always thought the grass was greener somewhere else so she divorced him. But never fear she remarried a man 11 years her junior. She told me they had a wonderful relationship until his "real" wife showed up. He was not divorced when he married her. So she has been single for 40 years now. When I shared this story with a coworker, they said that explained why she was so bitter. I'm not sure it does, and I'm not sure that is what I would call her.

Actually, I think I really "get" her. LOL

Then today the visit from my new "boss". God how I hate to even think of him in those terms. I sure hope he never finds this blog because I really don't like him much. I am in enough fear of that that I won't elaborate. Suffice it to say that my previous "boss" was really smart and this one is n_t. I think I am safe with that ( I crack myself up).

Then the craziest thing happened when I got home today. My daughter was asleep in my bed, my son was playing games in his room. No problems whatsoever. The planets aligned just right. Did they have some sort of other world vision that mommy was in serious need of a no problem night? These kinds of Friday nights are hard to come by with two teenagers. Whatever the reason for the calm house on a Friday night I am truly grateful.

To reward myself for such a hard working week I think I will put my jammies on and play poker online. Just what I need, a bunch of nothing to do, so looking forward to it!

  1. You have such a great way of putting everything into perspective. Yeah, shit happens. You deal. You're happy and satisfied to have your kids at home and be able to enjoy playing poker in your PJs. Very well grounded. Enjoy your poker.
