Gregory....... being a HAM

This kid comes to life when there's a camera pointed at him. He loves to take pictures and have his picture taken. He's a real hoot! He may be 3, but sometimes he acts like he's much older and wiser then some of us "adults". He's the house clown though, that's for sure. Papa's been spoiling the heck out of him lately too, which doesn't help. LOL

Collin's first bath!

He was less then pleased. He liked it for a moment, then started crying like we were hurting him, so his bath was short and sweet. He looked so cute though. See his cheeks aren't as plump as they were when he was first born. ; ) He's so sweet.

Life is never boring

Well I did it. I went and finished my paperwork for RS. I'm not sure when I start back there, but I'll find out tomorrow I suspect.

On another note, The Store~
It seems that no matter how much one makes there is always going to be someone that is jealous, fearful, manipulative or controlling, the worst is someone who is all four. We have 3 such individuals, one that denies she is, one that is just loud and obnoxious and doesn't care who she pisses off, she treats everyone the same and everyone gets bitched about, then there's the last gal who is all four. This person is the same one who decided to say something nasty to me in front of customers. BIG NO NO. If you've got something to say to me, say it OUT of ear shot and behind closed doors. I've discussed this with the DM as well as my manager and the two other ass man's. All say the same thing. Talk to the person in question, but make sure you have a witness.

I'm not sure how long this job is going to pan out, especially cause they keep bumping me around. One day I'm working days, the next nights, then days the next. It is really taking a toll on me. I'm getting NOTHING done around here and there is a LOT to do.

So RS wants me to consider coming back FT. I'm really thinking long and hard about it. I don't like games. I'm there to get a paycheck - period. If you've got something to say to me, pull me aside and tell me what's on your mind, but don't play the stupid games in the process.

I did find out tonight, that I won't get a check for another 3 weeks. They hold it for a full month. What the hell kind of crap is that!? This is Another thing I'm going to bring up at the monthly meeting. Schedules and pay. Hell I've been there just shy of 2 weeks and I'm already questioning my decision to continue there or not. Although it is fun and I do enjoy it, and as a bonus, I've lost 8 lbs already. I've been fighting to get that off. YES! Now to loose the rest of it and pray it doesn't find me again! What to do, what to do..... That is the question!

What would be your "Dream Job"?

I've been doing a lot of thinking about jobs as of late, can't you tell? LOL Anyway, I'm curious, what would be the ultimate job for you?

Here's mine ~ PT hours for a full time pay. A minimum of 25 hr. Work 3 to 4 days a week for eh, I don't know, 6 hours? With a nice lunch break in there too. Just enough challenge to keep my brain stimulated, just enough exercise to keep the muscles working. An area that's at least open to the outside so I can get fresh air. And somehow involve horses? There is no such job..... Sigh

OLD BROADS' RIDING RULES

1. We DO NOT need to show up with our hair combed, make up on and wearing a clean shirt.

2. Moaning, groaning and complaining about aching muscles is perfectly acceptable,as is taking Motrin prior to a ride.

3. Helping someone on or off the horse does not mean the rider is an invalid. It only means the horse got taller overnight.

4. No one will comment about how big someone's butt looks in a saddle.

5. Everyone will wait, patiently, while someone dismounts and adjusts equipment. Everyone will also wait, patiently, until that person remounts and is ready to move on...no matter how long that takes.

6. When a horse is acting up we will accept that the horse is just having a bad hair day and it is not the rider's fault.

7. Mentioning it is too hot, too dry, too humid, too wet, too buggy, etc., is considered self expression, not whining.

8. Wanting to be first, last, walk, or just stop does not mean the rider is a wimp. Sometimes it is necessary to teach a horse who is in charge.

9. We will take the time to discuss the important issues of the day like who is dating who, who is cheating on who and any other relevant information which needs to be passed on.

10. Not keeping your horse in gait (as we all ride gaited horses) is not a Federal Crime. With all that is going on today, the FBI has too much on it's plate to follow us around.

11. We will acknowledge that horses are very strange animals and sometimes for no reason at all we fall off of them. If this happens to any rider the other riders will ascertain that the person is okay and then not mention the incident to another living soul, especially husbands and significant others.

12. We will acknowledge, without apology, that riding more than 2 1/2 hours increases our grumpy level far more than any ego benefits we may get from riding longer.

They usually "hang" together.
Especially since Tonka has left.
