We get that all the freaking time! Some people think we close at 12:30 on Sat, so pour in at 12:15. The ones who know we close at 2 pm all pour in at 1:50. :facepalm:
Where the heck is the dislike button when we need it. ugh.

Hey, anyone have a clue what kind of insect builds like this? I was sure it was wasps/hornets, but they look like big black flies. And laugh at the wasp and hornet killer. I'm petrified to get any closer, but I need to open that freaking door. It's the back of the pole building, and my wood splitter is right inside the door. HELP!!!!

ewwwww

Maybe a fire extinguisher that freezes?? Not sure if CO2 does that or not??
My flame thrower idea was vetoed. So was just moving and leaving it alone. :lol: I'll see what I can find out about freezing it, we've gone through two cans of the extra strength spray. Not a one dropped. :shock:

Anyhoo, after work today we went to a fundraiser for the Sheriff's Dept. We normally go to most of the fundraisers in our area, but this one was special. Not only was it for our local cops, it was at the local winery. :D

Yikes on the hornets!! Hope you get that taken care of quickly.

Not much going on today. A couple of errands and housework. I need to get to Target to pick up a new prescription. One of my SIL's works for a dermatologist. Friday I found this strange unexplained rash on my let. It's about 4 inches in diameter. I showed it to her last night and she took a pic of it and sent it to the doctor she works for. She thinks it might be the new medicine (yeah, the one he put me on to replace the other two I had a reaction to). She called in a prescription for some heavy duty cortisone cream and said to use that for two weeks. If it clears up then we're good to go. If it won't go away or spreads then I need to tell my doctor that prescribed the new med. I really hope this clears up. The doc was stumped when I went last time trying to come up with a medicine to use in the others place. I'm trying this one and hope to heaven it works.

I didn't end up having to work today. It's the down season for grooming. :( On the good side of it, I can get more stuff done than usual. I've already rescheduled two appointments and made a couple of other calls I needed to take care of. I need to make a run to Target for that medicine my sil called in for me for that mysterious rash on my leg. I have weigh in tonight.

Tomorrow I would normally go clean my sisters house but my bil is back from Iraq for good now and she said he's going to do the house cleaning since he is looking for a job now and will be home. So instead I will be doing some other errands in the afternoon and taking Morgan to an appointment. Really hoping I work on Wednesday. She better be giving me dogs before the new girl. I think my schedule should be filled first and then hers. Do you think I'm being too witchy about it? I mean, why hire someone in the slow season when there's barely enough for me to do.

Time to go hop in the shower and run some errands. Hope your day is great despite it being Monday.

I'll see what happens with the scheduling this week and then talk to her at that point if I need to. I dread a talk like that. I'm chicken. If it were about my kids I'd have no problem doing anything if they needed it. Me, nah.

On a good note, weigh in went great! I'm at 93 pounds lost. I am shocked I stayed with it like this but I really wanted it this time for me, not for someone else. I'm thinking of adjusting my goal weight by 10 pounds. Haven't decided yet. Of course the charts all say I'd still be over weight at my goal weight. It's ridiculous!

Of course, I didn't make it to Target today. I moved it to tomorrow. I'm in the mood for a peach fruit pop. Gooing to go get one now.

I've got a busy errand day. Five stops and an appointment for Morgan. If I get going now then I'll be able to come home after her appointment at 2:45.

I think Alex found my hiding spot for my peach water and cappuccino. There are three peach water cans on his desk and a cappuccino kcup left in the keurig last night. He will consume whatever he wants even when he's been told to leave it alone because he's had enough. Guess I'll start locking the closet I put the stuff in. It's not that I don't want him to have any. It's that he doesn't think about saving some for others therefore I give him a certain amount and hide the rest. Sucks to have to do that.Soon he'll be buying his own food and can then know what it feels like to try to make it stretch to next payday.

Long list of chores for the kids today. Hopefully they will do them correctly and all will be neat and tidy here. :)

Have a great Tuesday everyone!
