I am not a patient person.
This is not news to anyone who knows me. I like things to happen quickly, I want answers yesterday. My husband says there isn't any internet server or a microwave that will ever be fast enough for me; this is sadly, very true.
I have been having some health issues lately. My heart feels like it can't keep up with itself, or as my doc says, heart palpitations. After many EKG's (which all came out "normal"), many blood tests (can you say human pin cushion?) nobody has any answers for me. I did get one bread crumb after a stress test, or as I like to call it, "when the hospital staff tried to kill me by making my heart explode", apparently, my heart adds an extra beat every so often. So now my doc has me hooked up to a heart monitor for the next 24 hours, so that maybe they can get a better picture of what my is going on.
There is a small part of me that actually hopes they find a little something, just so I can get an answer. That's how impatient I am. Don't tell me "Sorry, we can't find anything", JUST GIVE ME AN ANSWER DAMMIT!
Please. Thank you.

How do you heal a 9 year olds heart?
Tonight when I went in to end our boys reading time, and tuck them in, I noticed M had tears in his eyes. I reached for what he was reading; not expecting to find it was his year book from last year. For those who don't know, my boys went to Katherine Curren, which after much drama and tears and many fights, was closed at the end of the school year.
M was very angry.
M does not like change; he really didn't appreciate a bunch of adults deciding that his school needed to be closed.
My heart aches for him. All of M's good friends went to other schools, unlike his big brother who was "only" separated from his best friend "E" (son of Standing Still...)
I tried offering a play date for this weekend, but in the moment, there was nothing I could say or do to make him feel better.
So I gave him a big hug and kiss, told him I loved him very much, let him know my offer still stands, but he could answer me later.
I then closed the door, and all I could do was cry a little myself.
Sigh....

Ok, so I've started my new position at work, and this new position is kicking.my.ass!
I now do billing at a car dealership, technically, I do billing for two dealerships (one office does all of the paperwork for 4 of our dealerships). I know that eventually everything will come easily to my brain, but for now, by the time I leave the office, my head feels like it is going to explode!!
So, how am I going to unwind you may ask? We have finally decided to join the rest of the world (or a large part of it anyway) and getting cable, or more specifically, DirecTV. When we told the kids, they actually did a little happy dance! I will reserve my happy dance until I am able to watch HGTV!

When it comes to office supplies (you know, pens, post-it notes, anything that begins with "organizer"), I am a complete geek. There are very few things in this world that can get me on such a high that I must call my v.v. dear friend, M, and rattle on and on and on while I'm at work waiting for the phones to ring, but since they're not, I having nothing to do but flip through the office supply catalog six times (cover to cover)! Thank god she gets me (it also helps that she too loves new office supplies!)
In my new position at work, I also get my own cubicle*. This is where the supplies come in. It has taken everything in me to not just go out and buy out OfficeMax. Instead, I have rummaged through all of my boxes at home, and collected all of the supplies that I really don't need for my home usage, but I bought anyway because I COULD NOT STOP MYSELF!! I also have collected all of my samples of the various post-it's from 3M (of course I'm on their mailing list, isn't everyone?) I can't wait to find a place for everything tomorrow!
*After being a SAHM for 12 years, a cubicle of my own is pretty damn exciting!
