I’m on vacation this whole week.  It’s raining today.  Bah!  I think they are calling for rain tomorrow too.  Grrr.

Co workers asked me “oh where are you going exciting on you vacation?” I said HOME.  I’m a home body. I like my home and I like being home.  Yes I’d love to be going somewhere if the worlds aligned right and all but this week I’m on vacation at my own house.  No I will not be lounging on my ass doing nothing all week.  I do have plans like cleaning, laundry and more cleaning.  Throw in an oil change for my car too and whatever else I can conjure up.  The best part is I am NOT AT WORK.

Today may be a lazy day since I didn’t sleep that well last night.  So probably a laundry day and watch some good old TV or a movie with my daughter (who is also here with me all week).

At any rate, while you are at work slaving away, remember....I’m on VACATION and at HOME. tee hee

In just 24 hours, the gas station near my house went up 8 cents a gallon.  I SHOULD have stopped and gotten gas yesterday morning when it was $3.25 but I didn’t.  I SHOULD have stopped yesterday afternoon when it was $3.29 but didn’t.  Today I had to stop as I was running on fumes.  $3.33 a gallon!  $58 to fill up my car.  THIS IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS!!!!!  What the hell are we going to do this summer when you know it’s going to reach $4.00/gal???  Who can afford that shit??  And of course it’s raising the cost of food and everything else.  I’m a home body and generally don’t put alot of miles on my car (I’ve had it since July and I’ve only put about 6,000 miles on it...that’s less about 667 miles a month).

Stupid oil people.  Stupid government for not doing something more to help.  Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!

Something has to be done.  What are you doing to save gas/mileage?  What are some prices where you live?

I’ve been so busy lately I realized that I had not even posted. 

The boy’s ankle is getting better everyday.  He’s just walking with a limp.  Did I mention that on the day he hurt his ankle he got his report card?  Honor Roll! W00T!  5 A’s and 3 B’s.  Way to go Son! I knew you could (and I bet you did too!)

Miss Bri is back to her old self too after her 24 hour sickies.  She is a funny child and never ceases to amaze me or make me laugh.  She is hard headed though...I’ll blame that trait on her father.

Work has me SUPER busy. And on top of that, I am on vacation next week so I’m trying to wrap up some things.  I did some checking on my retirement a few days ago.  I can retire in just 11 short years...with FULL benefits.  I’ll have over 32 years of service.  Amazing huh?  I don’t want to think about that right now because although its a hell of a goal to work towards, it also means I’ll be getting older and I refuse to grow up just yet.

Well I’m off to throw yet another load of laundry in the machine.  I think I’ll watch me some My name is Earl since I just got season one on DVD today.

Miss Brianna is feeling much better.  Thanks for all of her well wishes.  She went back to her sitter’s and I went back to work.  At least for a while.  I got a call from the school that the boy had injured his ankle during PE.  So the Hubby picked him up from school and brought him home where I later picked him up and took him to the ER.  I’m very relieved to report that it’s not broken, just sprained which is what we figured anyway.  There is no school tomorrow and he doesn’t have PE for a week.  He’s hobbling around on crutches which of course is cool to him.  He should be ok in a few days.

I’ll be so glad when this week is over!  A nice quiet Friday would be nice...but somehow I doubt that...it never is at work.
