It's Thursday.. :)

Yesterday was a silly day. 

I saw the lady again who was ranting and raving how she was going to light a match under "Mary Ann".  She had walked down the street in front of another building with her paper bag.  She didn't look very happy, and she was still ranting--this time in front of a dentist office.  To answer your question, Lisa Jo, she wasn't wearing one of those frilly hats that church ladies wear..  Nope, it was more of a conductor looking hat--black and felt looking--I guess she was trying to capture that retro look.. 

Yesterday while I was on my way to Burger King to get my son a hamburger for lunch, I see two transient types sitting in front of the door of the establishment.  I hate it when they do that.  They just plant themselves right there so they can corner everyone who goes inside for money.  I'm sorry; I am sensitive to people who are hungry, but that is just not right.  They see me driving towards the drive thru, and immediately one starts clapping his hands real loud trying to get my attention.  I'm in a hurry buddy--I only have 10 more minutes out of my 20 minute break, my son is hungry, and I can't help you!  I am so sure; like I'm going to stop and talk to you because you are clapping at me!  As my  husband can attest to you, this woman does not carry cash!!  I only use ATM! 

This is one of reasons I am afraid to wash my car.  The last time I went to one of those wash your car places on my lunch break, this guy wanted to wash my car for money.  I said, "No thank you, I can manage thanks.."  He didn't like my answer, and he kept on asking, commenting how he could do a better job.  So this guy won't stop talking to me, and I only have 3 and 1/2 minutes left on the timer to finish washing my car, and I don't have any more cash on me, and this guy is freaking me out because he won't leave me alone.  I am holding this hose that is spraying my car, and I am sooo tempted to spray this guy out of the way.  Luckily for me he leaves.  I don't vaccuum my car--I'm afraid he'll come back and attack me or something. 

I may be jaded because of what I see and hear about at work, but you can never be too careful. 

My Ex's envelope came to my door--unfortunately, no one was home to get it.  I also officially dropped my child support case.  My daughter called me from home to inform me that there was a message from a woman looking for her dad on our phone.  Okay..  That really makes sense.  This is an example of how screwy this child support office is.  My caseworker is calling MY home number asking for my ex-husband.  Now does that make sense?  Doesn't she know that he lives in NJ?!  You would think, right?  I sent her the letter, with a note informing her that he has paid for May and June AGAIN, but this time the money is with me.  Then she sends me an email telling me.. "oh he must have got my message...I called him.."  Right lady, you called me and you didn't leave that message you just asked him to call you back.  The irony of it all is the name of my caseworker--her name is Esperanza; the name of the woman my Ex cheated on me with.  Weird..  I know. 

Our lovely receptionist has been gone for almost 3 1/2 weeks because she contracted the SHINGLES.  We don't expect to see her for the rest of the month.  Have you ever had the Shingles?  I don't ever want them.  You can contract them from having extreme stress--it attacks your nervous system.  It just sounds awful..  Just another thing to be stressed over, huh? 

The weather has been acceptionally beautiful lately.  Good "take a walk on the beach" weather.  Unfortunately I'm at work now...but it's Thursday..  One more day, until the work week is over---HURRAH!!  Next week is my son's last week of school!!  DOUBLE HURRAH!!! 

Thankful Thursday:

1.  I'm thankful that my name isn't Mary Ann.

2.  I'm thankful that the ex-husband is showing signs of maturity in regards to his kids.

3.  I'm thankful I don't have to deal with Esperanza again.

4.  I'm thankful for the beautiful weather, and longer days.

5.  I'm thankful for my family---always thankful for that.

6.  I'm thankful I can  still afford to put gas in my car. 

7. I'm thankful my car still works.

8.  I'm thankful for the kiss my husband gives me everyday before he leaves for work.

9.  I'm thankful school is almost out. 

10.  I'm thankful for drive-thrus....  Considering the amount of time I'm in my car each day, they are a Godsend.  Burger King has great veggie burgers by the way.. 

11.  Oh yes..  I am thankful I never had the shingles before...this was added later.
