Well, it was bound to happen

All I have to say is that it was bound to happen...

With my daughter running a fever for the last few days and both my parents fighting a cold... It seems that I have finally been hit with a Summer Bug.  Summer colds are the worst too.  All you wanna do is swim and be outside during these nice days, but when you have a cold, all you want to do is lay on the couch and watch reruns of "The  Golden Girls"...

The show used to be my favorite show to watch with my Grandma... Sometimes, when I can't sleep, I turn on the TV and flip to The Lifetime channel and watch old reruns... I swear, those ladies remind me of my grandma and her sisters... LOL

Today is going to be one of those busy days.  My hubby is at work, a training day in fact, so that means he'll actually be home for dinner... But that means I've gotta do it all on my own ;)  I have ANOTHER graduation party to attend today... For a girl that I've know since I was 8 and she was 4!  Oh well, BBQ's are always fun...

I'm also waiting for my Old Navy order to come in.  My honey wanted me to order a bunch of summer clothes because of our trip to Vegas and the fact that he doesn't have anything to wear.  According to the tracking on Fedex.com it should be here today!  I hope it comes soon, because its supposed to be 90 degrees today, and I would like to wear something I bought.

It is very rare that my hubby and I get away by ourselves.  That poor man (a whole 24 years old) works his tail off and barely gets anything in return.  The city is $2.2 million in the whole and they are short 4 officers... 6 would be better to hire, but being in the red that much makes it difficult.  He works some 50 hours of OT in a matter of a pay period... Crazy.  All I know is that he is my "hero" and that it takes a lot for a 24 year old to have such a job and to do it for 3 years already.  So a trip to Vegas is a very big treat for us!  Time alone is something we cherish...

The Robo-nator (aka our Princess) is finally feeling better.  She doesn't seem to have a fever anymore and is actually getting her attitude back.  A 2 year old with her attitude is dangerous ;)  She is such a silly girl... Just looking at her sometimes makes me laugh...

Well, its about that time.  Gotta go clean house and get ready for our day... TTFN

T.G.I.F

Thank God It's Friday... That is all I have to say...

Well, the Princess is still not feeling well...  She doesn't seem to wanna get rid of this slight fever that she has had since Wednesday.  It hasn't been over 101 degrees... But it doesn't wanna come back down to a normal temp of 98.6.  I think the closest we have gotten it is to 98.9... Ugh!  If this keeps going all weekend, I guess I'll have to venture to the doctors office... Thats always fun!

Our pool is finally starting to look like a pool... No more big hole in the back yard.  It was gunnited (sp?) yesterday!  Whoop-ee!!  Only a few more weeks and it should be done.  Good thing too... Summer has finally hit the Central Valley and the temps here are going to be 90 degrees and above for the next week.  I guess we'll be making special trips to YaYa's house so Princess can practice her swimming.

Got news on my Grandma.  She is coming home on the 6th of June.  I wish I could help her make the transition back home, but I'll be out of town that day...

Where will I be you ask????

TAHOE baby!!  I've been invited to go to a friend's bachelorette party for that weekend up in Tahoe.  Its been a while since I've been away with friends... It will do me good to have some 'grown up time'... Sometimes spending all your time with a 2 year old can change your mind... I'm sure all the SAHM's would know... And I'm not even one ;)

You think Tahoe is something special?  How about a trip to Vegas?  Sound better?  Well, I'm the lucky gal that actually gets to have 2 great trips in one single month.  The weekend of the 18th my husband and I are going to Vegas with his brother and wife.  Another fab weekend if you ask me!  I haven't been to Vegas since I've been 21 and my poor hubby hasn't ever been!!!  Finally he gets some time away from his job... That poor man works too many hours!!

This weekend is truly jam packed! I can't wait until Sunday.  We are going to a friends graduation party!  My best friend has graduated from Stanislaus State after only 4 years (half this town takes up to 6 years at the local JC, then transfers to a 4 year)... We are so proud of her!!  I even bought the Princess a new dress to wear to her 'Aunties' party!  I just hope she'll be up to going....

Well, speaking of the sicko.  I better get her little behind down for a nappy-nap.  Oh man, see, what did I tell you about spending too much time with a 2 year old?? Lol

TTFN

 

And One More Time.... Lets Try it Again

Well, lets try this one more time... I did start a journal a while ago, but I seemed to lose intrest in it... Didn't think I was doing a good enough job.  Maybe people thought it wasn't good??  Oh well, so lets try it again :)

Today is a pretty slow day at our pickle plant.  People have been calling for their money... I'm the accounts payable manager for the company, so I have to deal with everyone wanting to be paid.  But nothing else is happening... No complaining customers, no big problems with our sweet relish... Only nice thing about today is my 12 year old niece being here with her mother... Yes, I do work with my family... And friend.  I work with my mother-in-law, who is the Office Manager.... And sister-in-law who is in Customer Service.  My friend, does work her too... She is my sister-in-law's assistant.  Its really nice working with family, which some people might not believe... You got that support system behind you.

I can't wait for the weekend to roll around.  I get a 4 day weekend... Lucky me gets Friday's off... So with Monday being a holiday, that makes 4 days off!  Nice mini-vacation.  I have so much to do this weekend too.  Have to make the dreaded trip to the DMV to pick up my personalized plates... Which were wrong the first time I went in January!! Yes, in January!!... Gotta get my daughter measured for a dress that she'll be wearing in my friends wedding in October... Gotta go the mall to pick up a Bacherlorette party gift.  Ugh.  Not enough time in the day to do what I've gotta do.

Plus, I don't even know if I'll get what I have to do done... My daughter, Princess Rowan, was running a 101.5 degree fever yesterday and we couldn't figure out why.  Today she was about normal, maybe at the most 99.4 degrees... But thats about it... But who knows what tomorrow will hold.

I talked to my mom today... Well, I talk to her everyday, she watches granddaughter... She is a full time YaYa (what my daughter calls her)... But she mentioned that MY grandmother will be coming home from the rehab facility sooner than expected.  She had surgery on her shoulder... And being 87 years old, she needed to be in a "home" of types for help... So, its a good thing she'll be coming home earlier...

Well, gotta actually go do work now... TTFN
