Tirade Tuesday

In the spirit of my favorite radio show, Matt and Ramona, I am starting tirade Tuesday.

Why would the "head" of the county choral directors even hold a stupid meeting when he's going to do things his way anyway? "T" is the biggest douchebag on the planet. He's been teaching like 67,000 years and even though he "asks" for our input (our meaning the other 7 choral directors in the county) he just does what he wants anyway. Whenever I try to put in my 2 cents he just acts like I have NO idea what I'm talking about and is very degrading. He's already had to apologize to me once because he bit my head off IN FRONT OF 175 STUDENTS. Very unprofessional and VERY uncalled for. I don't do things his way and he can't stand that. And believe me, he IS NOT the end all- be all when it comes to Choral directors. I have studied under and worked with several who are MUCH better than he is. From now on, I'm just going to shut my trap and let him do what he wants. He has made it perfectly clear to me and the other directors that he's in control of everything and that's how it's going to stay.


Why oh why won't my dream job at my dream school come open? I'd be out of this county so fast it would make their heads spin if I could JUST find the right school.

Pink Eye

So I go to pick the monkey up from daycare today and his teacher tells me that there's a case of pink eye going around. I don't think much of it, as I assume she just means "around the community," but then she goes on to tell me that a little girl had it at daycare today. They tried to call her mom to get her, but she wouldn't come pick her up because she's a teacher and couldn't leave. What the heck? I'm a teacher, too! If daycare called me to come get my kid I'd get someone to cover my classes and get my happy butt over there! Other kids could pick it up, not to mention the fact that my child would be miserable and need me. Evidently none of this occurred to this mother. I can't believe it! This daycare doesn't call for every little thing- only if the child has a contagious disease or has a fever of 102 or higher. I just don't understand. Maybe I'm overreacting, but if my son gets pink eye I'm going to flip. Stay tuned....

The sickies

Monkey is sick. I mean, really sick. Not teething, not stomach-achey. SICK. I feel so bad for him. The poor thing won't eat any solid foods and can't sleep very well. That means that this mama isn't sleeping either. I'm so exhausted and I just know he is, too. I can't even rock him to sleep anymore. The only thing that works is if I let him cry! I know, I know- but it really is the only thing that works. So on top of that I have severe mommy guilt. Well, this too shall pass. I just hope it's sooner rather than later!

Having 22 Channels...

Sucks. We cancelled the DVR and 250 channels so we could save some money and it totally sucks. I miss Food Network and being able to watch taped epidsodes of Scrubs all evening.

City Park

Does it look like he's having fun, here?

We went to the city park and there was nothing to do. The poor thing has a better swing than this at the house.

Then, I went to Walmartz and bought him a fresh food feeder. He didn't take to it too well:

But I'm sure he'll get used to it.

FIRED from my OB!

Ummmm.... let me get this straight.... you FIRED me from your office because I cancelled an appointment and then FORGOT to reschedule? Really OB? REALLY? The fact that I called and cancelled instead of just not showing up makes no difference? The fact that I EXPLAINED to the front desk staff that I had NO ONE to watch my son because YOUR OFFICE doesn't allow children in it says NOTHING? The fact that I told your front desk person I had to wait until the monkey was in daycare so I could come in and was told that would be fine makes no difference?

Yes, this is happening to me. I received a registered letter telling me that they would no long treat me because I failed to reschedule an appointment. So I called the "administrator" who honestly is younger than I, has NO social skills and between you and me had no clue what she was talking about. I asked to come back, and she said she'd have to ask the doctor if I could.

Ok, first of all I understand that they have people who might sue them for whatever reason when it's really their fault that they didn't follow doctor's orders. I understand that they're covering their butt, but I have been a MODEL patient until now. Never late, never cancelled... I just don't understand why they would fire me without giving me some type of notice.

I really liked this office and I love the doctor I normally see. They treated me really well when I was preggo with monkey and I don't want to go through the hassle of changing doctors.

Oh well... we'll see if I'm "allowed" back!

Doin' the Blog... sexy sexy

Yes, it is time for me to jump on the bandwagon and start a blog. I'm new to the whole thing, so this is definately a learn as you go blog for a while. Basically, I hope to gain about 4 million readers in the next year, become massively famous as the best blogger ever and be able to quit my job, buy a beach house and play with my son for the rest of my life. I'll quit my job and do nothing all day but spend money.

So if I'm going to grace your eyes with my wit and witticism, then you must do your part and tell everyone you know!

Honestly, I'm happy to be here and I am looking forward to doing ONE more thing that keeps my on the Internetz BESIDES BHB (so sad it's almost gone!).
