I am really in to it. Wow but I was checking out prices of good cameras and they are super spendy. Oh well I suppose that I can use my father in law’s till I can afford to get one of my own. (If ) I can afford to get one of my own that is.

My boss however has become very abusive towards me in the last week or so. He makes me cry almost on a daily basis at least once. Then Monday evening he called me screaming and cursing me out about absolutely nothing that makes sense. He says that he is just stressed and fighting with his wife. (We would be fighting too if my hubby spoke like that to me)

I don’t really know what to do. I can’t quit my family won’t survive if I do but I guess in the mean time I am just looking for something else. Any suggestions??? I guess my point it that he does not pay me enough to deal with his crap.

For example about a week and a half ago he dumped a garbage bag full of receipts and things on my desk and told me to do last years taxes. Nice to know that they were filed on time. I have never done taxes for a corporation before and I am just expected to get them done by the end of the day? He has absolutely unreal expectations. For instance… I had to install and input data from the last 6 months of work into Quickbooks. 6 MONTHS worth and he expected me to have zero questions about what he spent and what on, and to get it done in a matter of hours. Well it took me longer than he thought that it should and he was screaming and yelling then too. Isn’t he lovely.

Well I guess that is enough about that subject I just don’t understand why I end up with such creeps for employers.

Have a good night my hubby and I are going to take the kids to the pond to fish and feed the geese and ducks. My father-in-law wants us to go with him. Could be interesting……… I will let you know how it goes when we get back. I am nervous…….

Oh well I guess I am just whining.

That is how many people had downloaded at the moment since this morning from all over the world. That number is going up by atleast a hundred every couple of seconds.

This is how many people in the United States have uploaded so far to this point.

That is alot, basically that means that we as a country have done at least 1/3 of the downloads. Kinda neat.

I have hit the add media thing for pictures but is is throwing some error that I just don’t understand. Oh well I guess that is why I married someone in IT. So until I can get him to fix what ever my problem is with this silly thing I will have to go on with no pics. I am very sad about this revalation because I took one of the cutest pics of Brinley this morning.

Don’t get me wrong I love them, I really do, they just drive me insane. I have been so accustomed to working my whole life even after my other two were born that for me to have been home as long as I have been was excruciating. There are days when I wish that I could just stay home and be with my kids so that I know everything about them and their day. But for us we need both incomes so I am hoping that with me back to work that it will relieve some of our household stress.

I am working for a construction restoration company in Stayton ,Oregon. I love it. My boss is great. He is a really nice guy that is really laid back, which is perfect for me. I can’t stand to be micromanaged. Don’t get me wrong he is there when I need him or have a question but for the most part he lets me do my thing.

The hours are flexible for my kids (which is an absolute necessity) and the pay is not too bad. The only thing that I really don’t like about it is that I have to drive about 20 miles to get to work.

Well gotta go, Brinley is complaining and I am headed out the door to work. Have a good one.

If you have read or do ready my blog you will remember that my son is handicapped. Well he is Autistic so he has been in a class full of special children. There are children with downs, cerebral palsy, the works. They are just the sweetest bunch of little ones that I had ever seen. To see them light up with enthusiasm as they made their way across the little stage area to receive their diplomas was just awe inspiring. Then there are the families of the other children, that just make the whole scene. There is no discrimination against race, religion, sex or anything of the sort, just families that have to work at parenting just a little harder to ensure that our children receive the same opportunities as other kids.

I don’t have the pics from the ceremony yet because, like the genius that I am I grabbed the camera, extra batteries, the whole nine yards but I forgot the memory card. I felt like an idiot. That’s ok my mom got a ton of photos and she is supposed to be emailing them to me.

Brinley is growing so fast and so much it is almost overwhelming. I wish that she was just the tiny infant that she was about 12 weeks ago. I have pictures of her that I need to upload as well.

I think that she is going to have to get tubes in her ears like her father and sister. I am working on the 2nd ear infection in the last three weeks. I feel terrible. I wish that there was something that I could do for her other than what is feel is doping her up on Tylenol hoping that it takes some of the pain away while the antibiotics do their job. Well speaking of Brinley she is summoning me. Have a good one.

I decided that since it was such a nice day that I would go down to a local park and walk with the kids and my cousin and her kids. We thought that we would be slick and let them “burn” off some energy. But two of them got sick because of the heat and the Baby (Brinley) was just miserable. I think that it was a big mistake.

We have an A/C unit for the house but it is not large enough to do any “real” good. It is bringing the temp from almost 90 to just about 80. I wish that we could afford another one but this is what we have to do for now.

Do any of you have any suggestions to keep a new baby cool? I have tried to use a cool wash cloth to keep her cooled off but I am having trouble with things like that because she just got her first cold and ear infection. She is just miserable and I feel so bad for her.

I know that I have other kids and should know what to do for her and them but it is early enough in the year that I am not completely prepared, for all of the heat.

Just since I started this post about 10 min ago the temp has risen to 99 degrees. Well I think that we are going to go out on to the patio and try to play in the kids pool. It’s not much but what can you do……

Have a good day and keep out of the sun.
