A quote i heard today...

"Children begin by loving their parents, as they grow older they judge them. Sometimes, they forgive them." -Oscar Wilde

Why is it I count the days til Friday then...

when the weekend finally arrives...I become a hermit and don't DO anything with the weekend? This weekend the hubby has been working so I know that has a lot to do with it. However, I do know I could so easily become a hermit.

That is my big observation of the day....

I was thinking today.....

Eleven years ago when I started working at my job, I thought I was a smart, common sense, competent person. Over the years my supervisor has whittled away those feelings. First, it was don't do anything without getting her approval first. The minute I made a mistake it was the end of the world and it happened because I didn't do things the way SHE wanted them done. As I learned how to handle her over the years it has NOW become that I don't make decisions and problem solve for myself! Enter the voice in my head, "Duh!, that's because according to YOU nothing I do is right and I have to do what YOU want HOW you want it!!" "If I don't, I get my head chewed off!" 

Well, after eleven years I think she has succeeded in wearing my self image down. This past week has been a rough one. I can't seem to do anything right or remember to do EVERYTHING in the RIGHT order!

Oh well, she is out of the office at a training class ALL day tomorrow! HOW will I ever manage all on my own?! I call it a stress free day for me!!

Well, that is my thought of the day. I can't let her win!

Ok, I am new to this...

I was sitting here on the couch wasting away another weekend bored and thought I would check out this blogging thing. I watched the movie Julie & Julia yesterday. If you haven't seen it, it is about a woman who decides to write a blog about cooking her way through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. It got me interested enough to check it out. So, here I am, now what?


I am a bit bummed out today. I had applied and interviewed for a state job that I really wanted. I received the polite form letter of rejection. I so wanted to be able to quit my current job. Better luck next time I guess.


So, what do people write about on these things? Any suggestions?
