Taking some ME time

I used to do pilates every day… I felt wonderful, I was more toned, my back quit hurting and I could do crazy things like touch my toes!
I’ve been so busy with the shop, with the kids, with the grandmonster, that I’ve completely neglected myself for the past year, but I’m taking my ME time back and getting back to it.
Today I was shopping for clothes and realized that I’ve got “Junior” taste and a “Misses” ass, it’s time to get toned back up! Yes, I am vain and am not ready to trade in my Ambrocrombie low rise jeans for a pair of navy blue double knit granny pants….
So today I reclaimed my ME time, 60 – 90 minutes each day to work on my inside (meditation and breathing) and my outside (pilates and this universal gym that I’ve been using as extra closet space for the past year!)
‘scuse me now, I’ve got some prespiring to do!

Cause the chicks dig it…

Daughters #2 & 3 are back and brought gifts for #5’s little man!

Piss….

Liars and theifs… two things I cannot stand.
I believe in my heart of hearts that no one is “above” stealing IF the cirumstances are right…
Ok… here’s the short version of the long story.
We have a gal working in the shop, she is working through a program where we “hire” someone on state assistance and teach them marketable skills. For us it is filing, cashiering, sales, stocking and customer service. This is how the worker “earns” their monthly check while building their skills and gaining experience to put on a resume, generally assignments last from 3-6 months. This gal, we will call C has only been with us for a month and just scored a job (using our reference), she really set a record and will only be with us for another two weeks.
So tonight C and I were working together, my purse was behind the counter and my wallet was inside the purse… She was the only other staff member on, her work post is behind the counter where my purse was located… it is out of customers reach.
I went to work with a $100.00 bill a $5 and some ones… I was going to deposit the $100 tonight when doing the shops deposit. After C had left for the night, I counted the till, got the deposit together and went to add the other $100 from my wallet but the $100 bill was gone…
I called C who said no one was behind the counter except her…

I HATE to fire people… but I see little choice here. I am 100% certain the money was in my wallet when I left for work…
Piss.

Yay!!! It’s finally Thursday!

So this is what I do at work every day!
I made these myself last week, no not the breasts silly, the piercings!

HNT

Geeze… you may really have to use your imagination this week.
For some reason I cannot get pictures to load tonight, which means both me and *MMD* are nekkid for our nekkid pics.
I’ll try again later!

Searching…

So I was poking around behind my blog and I found my missing sock! I was also entertained by the search words that have brought the unsuspecting across my blog, some of the key words this week have been:

*Emily Rose, exorcism
*Girlfriend is an addict
*Gossip
*Today’s gossip
*Snapple fact mistakes
*Nekkid
*Letter to children about gossip

And my personal favorite this week:
*Laxitive addiction

Imagine that, looking for weird stuff on the internet and finding moi 🙂

#3 is back!

I’ve done a few posts about the kids and daughter #3 is on her way home for vacation for a few weeks… she is the only kid who still lives far away. B is 24 and works on a cruise ship based in Hawaii… Daughter #2 and a friend went on a road trip to CA to play for a few and to pick daughter #3 up in San Francisco… They will all be home by the end of the week. It will be good to have the entire litter (all 5 puppies) near by!

If you haven’t yet…

Go take a peek at my world!
My daughter is one of my very best friends, and her baby is the sun in my sky… I have been blessed far beyond what I deserve…

Contemplating the Ex….

This week would have been my 25th (OMG, that’s silver) wedding anniversary, had I remained married to my 1st husband. We were very young when we married (18 & 19), we were married for 6 years. The divorce was my idea, when you begin to fantisize about your husband having a fatal accident on his way home from work on a regular basis so you can gracefully get out of the marriage, you know something is drastically wrong.
He was and still is a good man. He is caring, he is loyal, he is considerate. He never hit me, he was not mean to the children, he worked hard to make ends meet, we rarely argued.
Our problem was the same as many who marry young, we were still growing up and had yet to become the adults we were intended to be. As we reached our “adulthood” it became obvious that we were completely at opposite ends of life’s spectrum… we were still good people, just vastly different.
Today I was thinking about all of this and contemplating just how much my life has changed in the last 25 years. It is almost as if I’ve lived two or three lifetimes in that amount of time. I hit some rough years for a while, but I pulled it out and rebuilt a pretty nice little life for myself. I am very happy with who I am and with what those years have brought, even the tough years…
I began to think about my ex’s life and what those 25 years have held for him. Today I realized that he has essentially remained unchanged as time has gone by. He is in more or less the same place as he was 25 years ago emotionally, spiritually and financially.

So all of this has got me wondering why…

Why do some people go through life on a relativly level playing surface?
Why are some restless and always seeking more from life than they are given?
What gives some people drive, and why are others content just where they are?

What are your thoughts on this? I’d really want to know…

Have a rocking weekend!
