I mean, a very LONG week.
How long, you ask? Well, let me tell you!
I am sure you have all heard about the snow in the south. I am sure that you have also heard about the complete social and economical shut downs in the south. I don't think they are related, but I stayed inside my house drinking hot chocolate and ignoring the outside world the whole time. So, how do I know?
Now, most people were upset with the fact that their kids were at home for so much extra time. I loved it. I couldn't go to work, she couldn't go to school, and she had no where to run when I asked her to help me ice my ass when I fell...the third time. Really though, we had a blast. School this year hasn't been as easy for her as the last few years were (because children are mean little shits, and parents are sometimes even worse), and I have been working way too much, and so I loved having the opportunity to stay home and goof off. And, I think that I was more disappointed when it was time for her to go back to school than she was.
However, I was not excited to have her home this week.
It is lucky that I have a strong stomach, because my beautiful little girl does not. If someone near her is even thinking about a stomach virus that they had ten years ago, she will go all Linda Blair all over everything. She started out the week by throwing up in our bed. And in our hallway, and all over the bathroom floor. She threw up at school, in Taco Bell (Dad's brilliant idea), in the living room, and in our bed..again. ANd poop. There was poop EVERYWHERE. Add on the fact that she is insanely embarrassed about being sick in front of anyone, and some asshole cussing at here for throwing up at Taco Bell while I wasn't there to throat punch him, and I think you get the idea of how fun all of that was.
An, to make things worse, the store I work at has been utter chaos this week. The franchise inspector came by during one of our lunch rushes and decided to write us up for dirt that a customer had tracked into our lobby while she was there, one of our mops sitting inside of the mop sink (which isn't against the company health codes, but she thinks "might be against state health codes."
, and because someone was defrosting a vacuum sealed pack of chicken under running cold water..which is standard company policy, we are literally told to do thins in corporate sponsored training. We were also missing our main opener, and half of the stuff we ordered didn't come in with our truck. Coca Cola, why aren't you sending out Cherry Coke!?
Annnnd, I have been dealing with all of this with a fucked up back. You know how they make special mattresses for couples who w ant varying levels of cushion in their mattress? Well, we don't own on of those, but I like to pretend that we do. I take all of our winter blankets and fold them in half, then I stick them under the fitted sheet on my side of the bed. It is glorious, and I don't wake up feeling like someone beat me with a meat hammer during the night. The only problem is that a certain little girl threw up all over all of it. And, guess what! The laundry room is closed for repairs. Again.
So, yeah, that was my week. It's nights like tonight when I miss NN. I would love to just sit here and bullshit with everyone like I used to. I still love stalking the blogs, and I am glad to hear that so many of you are doing so well.
Also..damn. It felt good to rant for a while.
