I've been tagged

This is a game I was invited to participate in by the lovable ChillDaddy. I'll list six random things about myself, then tag six others. If you're tagged, you must do the same, and leave comments on their blogs directing them to the instructions on your blog.

1.) I was a brownie and a girl scout. I know that Jamie already knew this.

2.) I've done construction, roofing, and siding jobs in past summers. I had uncles who had their own businesses so I helped out for money.

3.) I like Barbara Striestand, not Cher. I like the good stuff and there is a man who has given me enough. LOL

4.) In college, I was going to train to sing opera.

5.) In open auditions for cheerleading( yes I wanted to be a cheerleader) I flashed classmates. I did the required flips into center court. I hadn't realized my shirt came up. I was wearing a see through bra. In the end I was a cheerleader in 6th grade. I never auditioned again.

6.) I think I have about smoked a pack of cigarettes in my life. I did it at a friends house at parties. I thought it looked cool and everyone was doing it right Jamie.


Ok now it's my turn to blog. I however don't think I know 6 people with a blog. I will just email it to some so I can get my quota in.

1.) Lisa
2.) Lauri
3.) Brian
4.) Jason
5.) Jeff
6.) Sarah

Apples don't fall far

Well I haven't been working a lot. I am still in training. I have no interesting stories about work. It's a job and I am trying to stay out of the drama.

We did get a phone call from the school today. It was a bit surprising it was about Kathryn. Evidently her teacher had read something to the class about mooning someone. So Kathryn mooned some people on the way to recess. The principle called and wanted to take her recess away. Brian told him if Kathryn's story was true and the teacher read about mooning not to punish her for it. We would discuss it with her. He still took her recess. I don't think mooning people is ok. Although I don think that the principle should have gotten all his facts straight before dishing out punishment. I think he should have called Brian and I after he talked to the teacher. We would have came into the school to discuss things.

I did discuss things with Kathryn when she got home. I wasn't mad at her. I had mooned classmates at recess when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. I actually got a bit of a chuckle out of it. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree does it?

Life's complications and cosmic jokes

Well I can now say I've been welcomed into the world of elementary school in Montague. My kids have always gotten notes when a kid in their class gets head lice. Last night Kathryn was complaining her head itched. Brian checked and low and behold. Yup she's got head lice. We stayed up until after 1AM treating everyone in the house and doing laundry. At least she got them during spring break. She won't have to miss anymore school!! They go back on Monday.

For those of you wondering about my job......it's a job. I like some of the people I work with. I can already see where all the drama is gonna come from....my boss. She has friends calling her all day long and visiting her at work. Her friends won't leave. Yesterday her friend stayed visiting for over two hours. The problem was I was supposed to be getting trained(it was a rainy, vacation day, and friday) I ended up figuring things out on my own. I jumped in and helped the customers out. I think I'm going to gun for her job!!! I think I can do it a lot better than she is. BTW she had to call a different store two nights in a row to get someone to work because she didn't schedule anyone to work. She was going to go out that night she couldn't work. Believe it or not I like my job.

Movie Gallery

I got the job!!! I was gonna start today but, my boss lost her voice. So I get to start on Thursday. The pay stinks but the benefits are great. Free movie rentals, games, and tanning. They also have health benefits for part timers. We don't have cable there is never anything on. Why pay for channels I don't want. I can rent the movies I want for free. There are only two shows a week I like to watch Grey's Anatomy and Boston Legal.
