Happy birthday...

to me! Yes, I'm the big 4-3 today. Whoo. Hoo. Three years ago I had a newborn. Five years ago I had a newborn. This year... I have a kindergarten-er and a pre-schooler. Gah! Where does the time go?!

I keep screwing up at work, but hopefully I'll figure out who I'm supposed to call and who I'm not. If I have ANY friends or favours by the end of this gig, I'll be amazed.

Tonight I'm doing my second Adult Tap class. It's interesting so far - only one class in - but I hope to tone up a little bit as the 'mandatory PT' is kind of hit and miss lately . Tomorrow I'm supposed to work out. Instead, I have a Gala Ball committee meeting at 12 then at 13 I'm going to training on how to administer pee tests instead of working out. This takes me to 4pm, which means that Sailor has to find his own way home after work tomorrow so that I won't be too late getting the girls from preschool. As it is, I'll be lucky to get there by 5pm tomorrow because of the shitty weather, the lateness of the hour, and the traffic.

Other than that... things are okay. Not spectacular, but okay. As long as I don't keep screwing up too much, maybe I'll get through this.

This week's flex:

Tues - work, adult tap

Wed - work (meetings, training)

Thurs - work, work out, kid's swim class (just waiting for Greta to get sick)

Fri - work

Sat - Ray's dance class, OctoberFest party

Sun - Church

Add in laundry, etc, etc. Blech.

And another birthday over. Mind you... my present this year is pretty cool - U2 this year!!

Blah.

Ray's 5th birthday is tomorrow. We had her party today. It was a raging success. Greta's 3rd birthday is Wednesday. Her party is Saturday. I hope it'll be a success.

Ray's doing so well in Kindy. She's making great friends and losing her headwear.

Greta is firmly in the terrible 3's right now and is frustrating everyone around her with her obstinacy. Don't know WHERE she gets it from (ha!).

Thanksgiving will be interesting: my step-mother, my mother-in-law, Sailor's niece and her boyfriend, my friend A (who watched the girls while I was in Merritt), her husband and his sister and A's daughter.

Got a Mac Mini now. Love it. It's taking some getting used to, but for the most part, I'm loving it.

Work is going to be a shitstorm tomorrow based on what happened last night which, although it's not my fault, because the buck stops with me, I might be back to being a Supply Tech in the afternoon. We'll find out I guess.

This week's flex:

Monday - Meetings, then work out in the afternoon. Maybe have a job, maybe not. Oh, and selling one of the gates too. Ray's birthday, so she picks the supper.

Tuesday - Meetings, then picking up a pair of tap shoes (hopefully they fit) for my adult tap class that night.

Wednesday - Meetings, then work out in the afternoon. Greta's birthday, so she picks out supper.

Thursday - Work out in the morning. Girls' swim class that night.

Friday - Trying to leave a little early. I have loot bags to buy for and to make up for the party tomorrow, and I have to pick up the cake too.

I have to figure out how to control my temper, find the right words, and keep my chin up. I'm having a rough go of it all right now. Fighting with my 3 year-old, bitching at Sailor, saying stupid shit to my boss.... I might just take the medical release and call it a day in 3 years after all.
