Nooooooooo......!!!

I don't know...

I don't feel like I'm old enough to be a Mercedes-stationwagon-driving hausfrau. Am I?!

Yikes.

For now the old minirustbucketpieceofcrap is still working. I'll stick to that for a while longer.

As long as the kids aren't along I guess. Safety first :)

Monday, monday...

...can't trust that day!

That's fer damn sure.

The plan was to go get robbed by the dentist again today, but after the weekend we've had I called in sick. Which isn't a total lie, I've had sinusitis all week with a killer headache to go with it; and it seems the germs are finally winning - I've used up a whole roll of T.P. this morning (on my nose, that is), and it's only eleven! There's more but I won't bore those of you who are NOT hypochondriacs with all the gory, phlegmy details...

G (almost a year old now!) had a fever both Friday and Saturday, pretty high too, but was OK on Sunday. Apparently her biorhythm was damaged though, since she decided that 330 AM was a fitting time to get up.

If I run into Milla Jovovich today I am so dead.

(Zombie-reference, in case you didn't catch that.)

On the up side we finally bought a car, the weather is gorgeous - even some decorative snow here and there - and we've started looking for a bigger place. The one house we have looked at so far was far too shabby for the price they were asking - but we'll see how we go. We're not really in a rush.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to veg out on the sofa.

ZzzzZzZZZzzzzZZZZzzzzzzzZZzzzZzzzz....

Heartwarmed and hung over

My sister and I hit the town yesterday. AKKS was celebrating 15 years, and three bands & an artist played Garage. It was a really good time! I met so many old friends, heard tons of great music, and went home thoroughly impressed and with a warm heart. It was good to see that Garage can still pull it off, despite recently being voted Bergen's best nightclub.

Un-comfortably numb

Back from the dentist's. Status report:

Six fillings out, six new fillings in. No more metal, yay!

Wallet: a LOT slimmer.

Kids: the big one in good shape, in nursery school; the little one burning up on my lap.

Hubby: on the phone. Work-related.

Me: dying to unpack, but stuck under the little one.

My home country...

This is hilarious - and fairly spot-on!

(And about the one-night stands: it's cold here, dammitt!)

Long time...

Still not working. Sorta looking for a job, but...not really - I have too much to do at home! Seriously!!! We got rid of a few things before our stuff from Korea came, but not enough - now our apartment AND my father-in-law's garage are stuffed with boxes that we don't have room to empty. Plus it's too big of a job for just me, I need hubby's help, but he is still working too much...

I'm so pooped I went to bed at 6:30 PM last night. Before both kids!!! I was awake between midnight and 230 AM, but then slept til 7. Phew...

Well I guess I better go do something, maybe clear out a box or two, ugh.

I don't like it. Trapped in housewife hell...

If anyone hears of a part-time job, doing anything, let me know?

Stuck

Well, he did it. My new boss, that is. He got me to quit. CRAP!

They just would not cave regarding my request for a reduction in hours. And although my union rep said I had a very good case, I decided that I wasn't willing to be labelled a troublemaker. Bergen doesn't have an overload of laboratory jobs, so I can't afford to be ostracized.

Although I must say it stinks to be labelled a troublemaker for standing up for my rights - but I know employers see things like that from a whole other angle than employees. The wrong angle, obviously.

So. An ambition amputee. Perpetually Palmolive'd. Doomed to domesticity.

Sigh.
