One of THOSE Weeks

I don't think I've ever been happier to see a weekend as I am to see THIS weekend. Work had more grouchier and more colorful complainers this week. I was called quite a few names I don't dare to repeat. Normally it just rolls off, but once you get called names one too many times you just want to hang up on people. Don't get me wrong, I love my job in Consumer Affairs but some days are worse than others.

To make things worse the kids pictures came in, well Derrick's came in, Danae just had proofs. See when they took pictures, Leroy found Danae's order form in her backpack, and took it right back and gave it to her teacher. (Mind you, shouldn't the teacher checked bags since they are only 5 year olds?) The teacher took it and said she'd put it with the other "left behinds". Weeks pass and I notice only Derrick's check got cashed so I email, get this, consumer affairs, for the picture company and no reply. Picture come in miraculously 3 days after I write the email. Derrick's was complete but Danae only had proofs. Leroy asked the teacher and she hadn't a clue what happened to Danae's money. Lo and behold today I get a response email from picture company and Danae's pictures are being processes! Yahoooooo I will have my baby's first ever school pictures. I even did good, I didn't yell or get upset over the confusion, Leroy was ticked but I stayed calm. Maybe getting yelled at is making me mellow, either that or I'm getting mellow in my old age =)

I also wrangled to get a week off next week. I tried a few weeks ago to get it off, the kids have Fall Break and the Hot Wheels convention is in LA the 13th-17th but it wasn't available. My amazing boss said if anything came up she'd give me first dibbs on it and she did! So I get to have 9 complete full days off. I can't wait!!!! I haven't had a vacation since August of 2009.....I'm psyched!

Let's see.....oh Danae loves her new teacher Mrs. Enriquez now. At first she was so-so on how she liked her because, of course she wasn't like Mrs. Moreno. Now after a few weeks she is enthralled with learning again. Thank goodness! Derrick is doing good. His favorite subject is computers but he's really reading well.

Ok I'm off to start on my Fall cleaning....yes I Fall and Spring clean...it's a sickness really.....
