Typical

Just a blurb for thought-

I love Tea Tree Oil shampoo- but dislike it in my eye.

That is all.

Ode to a Day Off

Yesterday was Mother's Day.  This I know bc everyone kept reminding me that it was.  I woke up, "Happy Mother's Day". We went to church, "Happy Mother's Day".  We went to lunch, "Happy Mother's Day".- and then I had to work and got told Happy Mother's Day about 90 million times.  Though I am happy that people actually think to say this or be nice about it- I was a broken record of thank you's and "yes, I am a mom" every time someone asked.
I will say, getting flowers from my employer was unexpected and sweet.  I mean, I did spend most of my mother's day at work. Alone to handle customers, cashiers, and various other things that will go unmentioned.  So, the thought was appreciated.
I came home to a nice surprise- which I am typing on now.  Totally wasn't expecting it and was half expecting the camera lens I have been harassing everyone in my family about.  This is why we shouldn't expect things.  It isn't like I was expecting a gift anyway- but I thought from the amount of harassment I have given my hubby and direct family members- that would have shown up. Anyway- this was a lot more than I was expecting and am still trying to learn the ways of a new lap top.

I think my favorite gift of all was my card made by my son.  He is almost 5 and he apparently FLOVE's me. :)

I wouldn't have it any other way.  So, to not continue the cycle of yesterday I waited until today to say, Happy Mother's Day to you and yours.

I've killed my plant

This week hasn't been my favorite.

I bought a plant.  I killed that plant.  I don't have a green thumb.  I hope this doesn't mean that my garden won't grow.

My dad had a 'minor' heart attack- which I am not all that certain what can be minor about a heart attack.  However, he was in the hospital and then out in the same day- with scheduled appts for the next week.

I have an interview for a potential full time position at my current employer.  My hours would be set hours and with my son starting kindergarten in the fall- it would be beneficial.  However, the interview keeps getting bumped and with each bump I feel like my confidence is waxing and waning a bit.

I had an anxiety attack for the first time in a long time after work today.  I think all of the little things combined with a couple large emotional things are taking their toll.

I am registering my baby boy for kindergarten this week.  Kindergarten.  I can not believe how quickly time has flown by.  He has gone from this:

To This:

It feels like a blink of an eye.  Just yesterday he had no hair and no words only giggles and chubbiness. I am so very proud of him and when he starts school I am sure I will be more of a wreck than he will be. 

On a totally different note- I was featured in a front page Treasury today (well, yesterday) and here it is:

Yeah, yeah- I could make a widget- but I am the photo on the end in the second row.  Double pointed needles- in a macro shot.  I love that photograph.  I love how warm it is- even though it is just a few inanimate objects.  It inspires me to create- and I love that.  

Now, I am done whining and tooting my horn.  Sleep is calling bc I have to work job #2 tomorrow.
