3 posts in 2 days-Day 2-just being

3 posts in 2 days! This has to be Olympic record......Where is my gold medal?

So, it's week 2 at my new job. The office is located next to a psychiatrist office. I have met characters named Gee the Barbarian and a guy referring to himself as "The Unknown."  My sales rep has framed photos of herself with Jon Bon Jovi on her desk.  I decided to wow my coworkers with my Brady Bunch knowledge and even performed "The Safety Dance." I can be charming like that when necessary. One of my coworkers escorted  me safely  to my car after work and I wasn't detained by the authorities so that's a positive, right?

I try not to speak in absolutes but I have a few times in my life. For example, I said I wouldn't date anyway shorter than me. That is an absolute that I could stick with being that the only males shorter than me are on that TLC "Little People Big World" and mini me from the Austin Powers movies. However, I have a confession to make that only my mother in law and husband know. I always wondered what kind of kid is asked to leave preschool. And worse, what kind of parent has a kid asked to leave preschool? Ding! Ding! We have a winner behind door number 1. OMG! I am one of those mother's and my daughter was one of those kids. My daughter was a biter and terrorized other kids and teachers. I had countless meetings with said preschool and my daughter, but it's quite humiliating to be in a management meeting to see the receptionist looking for someone and you know that someone is you. Then one day that call came when they said, "Today is your daughter's last day." What??? How could this be? I won the good citizenship award Mrs. Simmons let me take names in first grade. How could I possibly be the mother of a  4 yr old child who was essentially "kicked out" of preschool?? But I was and it was absolutely embarrassing. I do remind her periodically of that time and she gives me a smug smile along with a "that was a long time ago." Let's keep that in the past.

Day 2 of just being with no candy was not bad. I laughed and only broke down to indulge in a graham cracker. Friday eve!
