So last night I was tucking in my kiddos and my pinkie nail got hung up and sliced by a loose thread on the top sheet (lol see other post). so I put a band aid on it and now my finger keeps "caps locking" when I return to my "home keys' on the keyboard. WAHHH.

My hot wings cook at 450, and DS's fish sticks cooked at 425. So now i'm left guestimating how much longer to leave in my wings...

There really should be detailed instructions on the packaging...lol

ugh because I don't start work until 12 noon I always have to park far from my building and get a 10 minute walk in before work.

So I guess i will count my blessings that I start at noon so I can take my afternoon kinder to school at 11a and my employer is A-ok with it, and I have a job, and good car, and the health and ability to make my trek as annoying as it may be. ;0)

(Rhonda -first world problems are small problems we have compared to third world problems like hunger, lack of clean water and medical care)
My parents and their friends were good naturedly "complaining" that because of the hurricane and their retirement village being understaffed, for that night they had to serve themselves dinner buffet style rather than being served as usual. I said "poor you, now I'll go home to my dark cold house and cook on the camp stove" With the generators etc they hardly noticed the power outages, with the staff cleaning everything up for them they didnt suffer much during the hurricane and they were grateful!

I have dry cleaning and can't decide whether to take it to the shop downtown that does a good job but where the parking is further away so I have to walk a block, or try out the new, (unknown) cleaners on the east side of town with the drive-through.

The losers that owned our house before us left me with yet another nightmare repair situation to do new painting. The guy before me just did sloppy work --with everything --so I'm in the thick of patching holes and taping cracks in the bathroom. In a minute, I'm off to the store to figure out if I have to sand the ceilings!!!!!!!!! They sponge painted the whole room --even the ceiling!

Did I mention that my newish windows all need to be replaced because he put them in by himself, not even with help from the other neighbors?!?!?!?!?!

I just had to train someone with bad body order and breath. I can still taste his smell. Yuck!! I am eating mints to try to take the smell away. I sprayed my office so hopefully things will return to normal soon. What a way to start a Friday. But it is Friday so that makes it better.

I tried some off brand soda from Walmart- Coconut flavored, no calorie and cheap. My son LOVES it! But when I went to buy more, they didn't have it. I have been to three Walmarts trying to find this soda and they are all out or have quite carrying it! Every time I come home from the store, my son asks "Did you get some Coconut soda?" Oh, the inhumanity!

Even though we have 3 vehicles and there are 3 of us, I am still not able to drive the truck, because the bed of the truck is filled with one of my clients expensive Christmas Wreaths. I cannot unload it myself and do not want to risk them being stolen..

So I am without my own transportation to go to lunch with my lunch bunch..I had to set up a ride with a friend...it is out of his way..

I live a very charmed life...compared to so many people.

My "x" "c" and "v" buttons have been really annoying lately. I will be typing and the top of my page will have these letters, where they are suppose to be, but then the middle of the page wont have any of those letters typed where they are suppose to be.

Also, my brain has been SO fuzzy today, its like my hands aren't connected to my brain so I have been misspelling stuff all day. AND (if you can't tell) my sentence formations have been out of whack!

Edit:

Haha I just got this in my email http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuLuOH0FMBM First world child problems
