Sorry I've been a little absent today. Tuesday's are my busy day and I have been having system issues all morning. Invoices not going out etc. Very very annoying!

Well the system is still messed up. I can't invoice most of my customers. I scheduled a meeting only to get bumped from my conference room by the owner's son. (It's really ok, he needed a specific resource in that room) Just annoying because I had to move my meeting. And I was trying to be nice by scheduling it close to my attendees. Oh well, they will have to come over here.Posted 4 years ago by MeezerMama in OK; 10/23 #

Besides, if I was independently wealthy, they'd just tax me more

Sorry for your challenging day, MM. Sure makes it more fun...yeah right. Hey didn't they say being independently wealthy was overrated? I guess those who say that have never been poor.

My bad day started as soon as I got home from work at 6:30 yesterday evening. I sat down on the recliner and immediately zonked. Next thing I knew, it was 9 p.m., and hubby was waking me up to put the kids to bed. By the time that was done, I was wide awake, but tried gamely to go back to sleep. The computer is in our bedroom/sitting room, as is our t.v., both of which hubby was using at the time, as well as the light, which is over our bed. After 20 minutes of tossing and turning, I asked if I could turn off the light and he could turn down the t.v., both of which he assented to.
A short time later, with me still wide awake, hubby turned off the computer and t.v. and got into bed. In no time he was snoring at an ear-splitting volume, and I had yet another reason not to fall asleep. I looked at the clock and it read 12:26. Great, only 5 hours until I have to get up, and I'm still wide awake! Not only that, but I have an activity planned for today that the kids have been excited about since the first day of school, and I need to be at the top of my game. I already know THAT ain't gonna happen.
Sometime in the night I drifted off, because the next thing I knew the alarm had gone off. I stumbled out of bed and into the bathroom where I looked at my watch because I was too groggy to look at the bedroom clock. 4:55?!?!? The alarm isn't supposed to go off until 5:30!!! As I'm pitching a hissy fit, hubby realizes that after the power company got done moving the pole in the backyard yesterday (they were replacing old wooden poles before a storm forced them to do it) and restored the power they'd had to cut off in the process, hubby had reset all the clocks in the house EXCEPT THE ONE IN THE BEDROOM!!! (Must....control....fist....of....death!)
I then crawl into bed at the same time that hubby gets the notion that his legs itch and begins thrashing said itchy legs around trying to scratch one leg with the toes of the other. As I was just reaching the point of certainty that no jury would convict me, the alarm went off for real this time.
As I'm emerging from this perfect storm of insomnia, hubby notices that I'm not very conversational this morning. I say nothing, but think (in my best Bill Cosby voice) "This is because if I open my mouth, words will come out. You will not like the words that come out of my mouth and will let me know that you do not like the words that are coming out of my mouth. I will not like the fact that you do not like the words that are coming out of my mouth and will tell you that in no uncertain terms. After that, things will get ugly, and things are already ugly enough that I do not need to add to tha;. Therefore, I will say nothing."
And that, Your Honor, is the reason I am before you today....

OMG, I'm rolling on the floor. I know it's not funny to you, Ginny, but I can't help it!

Poor Ginny! I hope Hubby will make it up to you.
Your alarm clock story reminded me of something. When I was about 15 or so, I decided I was going to start jogging (okay, NO laughing allowed here!). I'd get up around six and jog for half an hour to fourty-five minutes every morning before school. Well, one morning I get up, get dressed and go run (or something like it!) in the dark (very important that noone sees me attempt jogging!). I come home and my Mom hears me walking around and yells from the bedroom and asks what in the world I'm doing. I'm tired and cranky and tell her in no uncertain terms what a stupid question that is - I was out jogging, of course! She goes on to ask me why I'm out jogging at two in the morning!!! Arrrrgh, must have dreamed the alarm clock went off!
At least I could sleep in an extra 45 minutes the following morning!
.....And, no, the jogging didn't last...... -
Oh Ginny, I'm sorry to laugh too, but so much of that rings true for me...my husband snores like a jack hammer sometimes; I love your *must...control...fist...of...death* line, brilliant! Usually I can just ask him to move onto his side, and he (in his sleep) cooperates, but there was one time, when having already asked him twice, he replied (still in his sleep) *I'm already on my side and I'm not snoring* - uttered whilst lying on his back and achieving a truly impressive number of decibels!!!
And if he's being quiet, there's always the four monsters...

Madcatwoman, I wish I could take credit for the "fist of death," but I brazenely stole it from Alice, the character in the "Dilbert" comic strip who is often, with the possible exception of Dilbert himself, the only sane person in that world!

Ginny you are hilarious! I love this line -
" (in my best Bill Cosby voice) "This is because if I open my mouth, words will come out.

Absolutely hilarious!

I am laughing so hard over here. LOL YOu tell a great story Ginny...
I feel for you. My ex, being an alcoholic, never fell asleep but passed out; and generally spread eagle. One night several failed attempts to get him to move/roll over (the more he drank the louder he'd snore) I grabbed the rails of the bed and with both feet gave a good hard shove. Bearly moved him, I'm afraid. Finally got him over on his side so I could sleep. I learned to go to bed well before he did !

Ginny,
You ARE too funny. I hope by now, your day has smoothed out somewhat, and tonight you can recoop so of your much-needed sleep.Posted 4 years ago by artistabobbi TX 1/17 #
