Insanity Ensues

I am beginning to think that I really am a sucker for punishment.

As anyone who reads me will know, my daughter's friend moved in with us a little while ago. It was originally only supposed to be until the end of the summer, but I'm fairly certain we are keeping her for good now. In my mind she is part of the family now anyways.

Two daugthers I can deal with.

Then there is the friend who lives up the street. She is over almost every night, and in turn has taken up semi-permanent residence on our couch.

Fine. Two daugthers and a friend, I can deal with.

About a week ago, my daughter asked if her two friends (who live 3 hours North of here) could come stay with us on Saturday, meaning today. I didn't even really think about it, just agreed, figuring it would be for the weekend. These guys do that all the time, travel between the two cities and hang out at each other's houses for a few days at a time.

Well imagine my surprise then when I returned from driving daughter #2 to work this morning, to find some unknown parents in a minivan unloading suitcases full of stuff onto our driveway. Yes, the girls had arrived, and are staying for 10 days. TEN. Lord help me. Yes, my daugther neglected to pass on that little detail to me.

That brings the house count to six females plus two cats (yes, they are both female too) so I'm already on estrogen overload. Be warned, if you are a male friend of mine, chances are I will be hitting you up on chat a little more than usual throughout this duration as I have a feeling I'll be seeking out a testosterone fix or two here soon.

Update on the new job: it is fabulous. I am thoroughly enjoying it, feel very comfortable there, and am really happy that I made the decision to go back to a structured schedule. Yes, I'm still working 7 days a week, and havent had a day off since May 23rd, BUT - believe it or not - I actually have two days off next week, two days off next weekend, and then five days off for Okie the week after. Wow - talk about a slacker, eh? I don't know how I mananged to get so many days off, but they are very much needed, I assure you.

So other than the Okie trip, what am I going to do with my four whole days off? I'd love to say that I am going to be off doing something fabulous, but the truth is I will be doing nothing more than cleaning my house. It has been seriously neglected since I've been working so much, and it is high time to do something about it. The girls do the day-to-day stuff like dishes and vacuuming, but I still have boxes that need sorting, furniture that needs placing, things that need painting, etc., etc. Rather than dreading it though, I am actually looking forward to getting everything in order, so that is a good thing I suppose.

Sadly though, today is not one of those days that I have off, so I'm on my way in to work now. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

13 days...but who's counting?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, which is good because I am too tired to type:











No, I don't have my passport yet. Yes, I will have it in time.

Really.

Well, I am at least 99.5% sure. (Have to leave just a smidgen of room for err)

Just. Can't. Wait.

I've got nothing

I really don't have much to say today since I just woke up, but thought it was high time I put something on here again.

I rarely post about poker, and even more rarely post screen shots, but this one made me laugh:


Nothing like folding a flopped boat-turned-DQB. That was in the Friday night donkament last night, which I bubbled out of in 4th place.

I'm moving pretty slowly today as I had a few too many of these last night

while chatting with the IIF's via this:

and this:

Typing in a chat box is sooooo 2004.

The next few weeks are going to be pretty busy for me as I don't have a day off until July 1st (Canada Day) and am frantically running around trying to finalize my plans to go here:



It's going to be tight, but I am still 99% sure that I will be in attendance. I'd like to say that I was 100% sure, but there is still a tiny, tiny chance that I won't be able to pull everything together in time. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I'm off to work (seriously, what kind of sick person chooses to work Saturdays?) but I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
