Have I ever mentioned how much I HATE my job? This is not the field for me. When I decided to go the accounting rout I figured I would be playing with numbers all day instead I am the go to person for every stupid little thing that comes up. Insurance too high? Ask Christina to get a quote worked out. Such and such is getting married? Have Christina order them a gift even though she has no idea who they are. Light bulb out in the mans bathroom? Call Christina to get it fixed. You were not paid overtime? Go talk to Christina. Toilet is clogged, better tell Christina! All general office complaints come to me, heck I even order the office supplies.
Last time I checked the accountant does not handle any of this shit. That is the job of the office manager. I am in no means an office manager. I have NO employees under me and I make way less than any other "manager" in the company, I am talking HALF as much. Not that I feel I need to make more to do all this shit, I just don't want to do it period.
Give somebody else a raise and change their title to office manager so I can sit back and play with my numbers please.
I hope I like teaching, I know there is a lot of prep work I am fine with that.
I guess it does not help that I had a crappy start to my day.

Bla start to the day
Well today started out crappy. My neck and back have been bothering me for over a week now and this morning was no different there... I got out of bed went strait to the bath room to brush my teeth and wash my face. Kaitlyn decided that she was going to pound on her bedroom door the entire time I did these two things. (David is trying to sleep in the room two feet away... sorry about that). Once I rushed through those things I opened the bedroom door to see my cutie pie smiling at me. I asked her why she banged on the door instead of opening it as she ran by me to get the IPad. IPad is her obsession! I know she can open the door, just last night she opened the bathroom door while David was in there. She randomly opens the bathroom door all the time. Her bedroom door is exactly the same as the bathroom one.
Next, I go in the kitchen to let the dogs out and Kaitlyn runs to the fridge wanting to feed the dogs. I told her it was not time yet, lets get dressed first then we will feed the dogs. She started crying... I walked away and went to get dressed. I cannot handle tantrums that early in the morning. Soon enough she came in the bedroom looking for me once she figured out that nobody was listening to her cry.
It was time for Kaitlyn to get dressed. I let her pick her top today, she got a kick out of that. Then when I put her up on the changing table to get her dressed the crying started again. I was getting frustrated and asked her why she was crying. This was met with more crying so I thought I would tell her how cute she was and give her a kiss. The kiss only led to even more crying. I hurried up to get her dressed. Once she was dressed I sat on her bed for a second. She walked up to me crying and snuggled while crying for about 5 min.
I have no idea what the problem was. I swear she cried from the moment she woke up till we walked out the door. And by that time I was highly irritable and ready to snap.
I park my car in the garage, it fits, but there is a ton of random stuff all around it... One item in particular drives me insane, the damn car jack. It is in my way, it is in Kaitlyn's way. Every single time we are trying to get in the car she trips over it, I knock the handle down, I kick it... One day I moved it out of the way. It was wonderful! I could freely walk around the car and not trip on anything, not have a handle in my way. That lasted for about two days then magically it reappeared in the same damn spot again. URG!!!!
Remember I was highly irritated already this morning. Well that damn car jack was in my way again. While trying to maneuver getting my purse, snacks, backpack, and diaper bag in the car with Kaitlyn standing in my way every move I made the damn car jack got in my way again. This time the handle had me stuck with my back pack and diaper bag between the car door and Kaitlyn. The car door semi closed onto Kaitlyn's head in the process of me getting unstuck, luckily it did not hurt her and she did not even cry. Seriously that car jack is going to get picked up and launched into the street one day (sorry David). Why does it have to be right there? WHY??????

Just another weekend
I feel like so much got done this weekend and at the same time feel like there was something else I needed to get done.
Our little dog Jack was due for his rabies shot. I did not want to drive all the way down to his vet so I decided to check out the vet that is walking distance from our house. They are open 7 days a week and have a vaccination clinic every weekend. Turns out I really like the place and Jack did too so we are switching vet offices. Jack is getting up there in age so he was not able to walk the entire way - well he could have but I walk fast and his little legs could not keep up. SO he hitched a ride:
Kaitlyn got her first pair of ugly crocks, but these ones are semi cute with mickey mouse on them AND they are pink! Now if only I could get her to keep them on outside.
After two years of hand washing the tray to Kaitlyn's high chair I finally figured out how to fit it in the dishwasher. Since I figured this out on Friday night it has been washed in there about 4 times. LOL Amazing!!!! Wish I would have figured this out two years ago.
Kaitlyn and I were both sick this weekend so we hung around the house. I organized my school stuff, tossed old paperwork out and filed things that I need to keep while Kaitlyn learned to play the piano and snuggled her dogs.
I also got to tie up a few loose ends for her birthday party next month. Guest list is almost finalized and the invites are done. Now if only I could figure out what to do about this Helium shortage. I have at least 60 balloons that I wanted to get inflated. I will be happy if only the Mylar ones get done. I can string up the others I guess - even though I paid top dollar for helium quality. BOO!
After a month of trying to get a cute picture of Kaitlyn for her birthday invite I had to settle for this half smiling picture. Oh well... It is still cute. Got them made here.
Did I mention I cleaned of the planter window thing in the kitchen? I guess I need to get sick more often so I can keep organized. Now if only my check book would balance itself.

little bits
School starts up again on Monday. For some reason I am so not looking forward to it. I want to be done already. I know this semester is going to be easier than the last but I am still stressing about it for some reason. Once it starts up I will be fine and adjust. I think it is the fear of the unknown that is getting me right now.
Kaitlyn has been skipping naps when she is home on the weekend lately. I don't get it, she looks tired when I put her down but then she just talks and plays in her room for a couple hours. I need her to continue taking naps for at least the next year. I need that time to do homework. She is also fighting bedtime a lot lately. Hopefully it is a faze that will pass soon.
Work has settled down a little bit. I have a bank audit coming up the first week of September and after that I can finally pack the 2011 files away and have my office back ... till January when I pack up the 2012 files LOL.
I have gotten over the not having a teaching job right now part of my life, this has helped me with my current job. I have relaxed a bit and am less high strung. I think not being in school for the past week and a half has helped that as well.
Kaitlyn's toenails are impossible to cut now days. She will not let me even touch her little toes. I am getting frustrated over that entire thing! What happened to make her freak out about getting her toenails cut? It has been a slow progression that I had been trying to nip in the butt from the beginning but nothing helped. Distractions are not working anymore, not even the IPad or IPhone. I just tried to cut them while she was sleeping as a last resort but that was a total failure as well. Maybe not a total failure since I did manage to cut all the nails on one of her feet except that damn little pinky toe before she woke up. Then she was screaming because I left the room... Boy I give up on that one. I am just going to let them grow I guess.
Another foot issue, last week Kaitlyn had something sticking out of her heal. I tried to pull it out but she would not let me. I felt so bad holding her foot down but at the same time I could not get a grip on the thing with the tweezers while holding her foot down. I tried tape to lift it out, I tried a hot bath... nothing worked. I ended up putting neosporin on it and a band-aid when she went to bed so I could think about what my next move would be. I scoured the internet for a solution. Then I figured I would just try to pull it out after she had been asleep for a while. It worked! I pulled out a cactus needle a little longer than a quarter of an inch long. It was strait in her heal, not sideways at all. I don't know how she walked around with that thing in there. At any rate that whole incident was very traumatic for me. I was in panic mode. Luckily it came to a happy ending.
Planing for the big 2nd birthday party has been underway. I figure I should do as much as I can before school starts back up. One less stress to deal with. I am pretty happy with the way things are coming together. It is Minnie Mouse theme this year or as Kaitlyn likes to call her "MaaMaa". I am skipping the fancy plates, cups and stuff. Sticking with plain white plates, clear utensils, some clear pink cups that are left over from my baby shower, pink with white dot napkins (but only one small pack, once they are gone plain white costoco napkins will be used), I got three bunches of Minnie Mouse Mylar balloons and a pack of pink with white dot rubber balloons. One road block is that there is a helium shortage right now so filling up the mass amounts of balloons I bought might become a problem. We will see. I have found some ideas for using them without helium but it is such a waist because helium quality balloons are so dang expensive! This year we will have cupcakes with mouse ears instead of a big cake. It will also be a smaller affair, I cut the guest list way down. No neighbors this year (except for little Alex across the street and his mom and dad). No old time friends that we have not seen since Kaitlyn's last birthday. Just family and some of our close friends that have kiddos about the same age as our kiddo.
I got my paperwork proving I passed the Algebra CSET in the mail the other day. I think I should frame it.
Tomorrow is my birthday, I will be 35. That is all I have to say about that.
I think that is just about everything that has happened in the past few weeks. Besides me being exhausted and not wanting to do anything at all...

Happy Day
Passed the Algebra CSET!!!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!! I am so excited.
Geo I got a 213 - not bad considering I need a 220 to pass.
Good news, and more good news, I have two weeks off to study for the Geo section before Fall classes start. Bonus - I only have to study for one test this time! I am scheduled to take the Geo test on September 15th.

Time flies
Where has the time gone? The past couple weeks have been crazy for me. Between the work inventory issue; then preparing final projects for school... Wow! I feel like I can finally catch my breath for a min.
Things I need to do:
Register for my fall classes that start on Aug 27 - financial aid already awarded and excepted!
Use my spa gift card
Get my teeth fixed
print my resume on pretty paper and pass it out to the schools I am interested in
balance my check book
plant flowers in the front yard
get the final details in place for Kaitlyn's second birthday party
Things I want to do:
quit my job
visit my mom - but now I cannot - tickets are way too expensive and the timing just sucks with work right now.
Trash the paci ceremony - no I have not done it yet, yes I could just throw them away but I want pictures to document it happening for our family year book.
Get started on ideas for the family year book and organize what I have already.
Make these to give out at Christmas:
Tiny Polaroid Magnets
Make these to put the magnets in:
Matchbox
All of the above = I have exactly 3 weekends to accomplish it in. Ya - not going to happen.
Kaitlyn went with David to the boat races in LB this weekend. From what I hear she enjoyed it. I was at school...
This semester should be a little easier compared to summer session. I will only have two actual classes, one of which is online so I will only need to go to class one night a week. I also opted to take the Saturday class during summer instead of this semester. Now I am happy I did. At the time I thought what the heck was I thinking!
Ok back to work!
