One of those kind of days

Ever have one of those days where you feel like the fates are against you every step of the way? Well, today was my day to have the powers that be shine on me.

It isn't even 8:00 p.m. and I have opened a bottle of Malbec and am going to go to bed very, very soon.

Here are a few highlights:
  • Started day by losing contact, finally was resolved to open the new pair when I found my old one stuck to the top of my foot. Dusted it off, but it is just not the same will need to open new set tomorrow. Maybe being able to see properly will make everything all better.
  • Dropped breakfast on the floor while carrying the bestest bagel with cream cheese and boysenberry jam to the table. Dogs loved the snack, however was not too upset because had one more bagel in reserve which I forgot about and incinerated. Dogs didn't love second bagel as much as first.
  • Dropped all of AE's clean shorts in dog's water dish, have now rewashed, but somehow a kleenex made its way into second load and will need to re-do...tomorrow.
  • JG turned the sprinkler on when I was ensuring it was properly attached, proceeded to drop on good foot. Foot not so good anymore.
  • Got locked out of the house, thank goodness had finally found the one house key we owned and recently hid it - just in case. However, couldn't remember where I had hidden lone key, finally found it and now must find second really good hiding place.
  • Lastly, showed up for AE's softball game 45 minutes early for 7:15 start. Unfortunately game really started at 6:00 p.m. so we were 1/2 hour late and she couldn't play. She and JG really didn't seem too upset because they got treats. JG said, "I think that was the best game yet." Must double check all dates in handy, dandy Google calendar.

Hiatus no more

I don't know what it is about January, but 'round about January 15th I go into a complete and utter funk - hence no blogging. It is as if I need to cocoon for a bit, metamorphosize, and re-enter the world in February. This year has been especially bad due to our chaotic schedules with the kids, plus I have been working almost 60 hours per week as it is budget time and we are determining what exactly does "hunkering down" look like. Don't worry, work is still fun, challenging might be a better word. I truly love my new job, actually it was a promotion - didn't officially know until this week, so that jump starts the old engine as well. Other than that I have also realized in the last week my body is really, really mad at me. Things are just not working as they should and finally made the decision to go see the doctor who helped with the torn ligament a few years ago. Bottom line, just haven't been taking care of myself and he cracked me around a bit so can ...

I am usually an open book...

however have made the decision to have The Schmidt House be invite only, you are the ones that I want to share our lives with - if there is someone that I have omitted by mistake, please let me know. Think that there are some family members that I do not have email addresses for, so will need to track those down. I have found that I have been a little blog "stuck" for the last few months knowing that there were a lot of people who read my site and I became a little self conscious about what I was writing as to not offend anyone - not like I go out of my way to offend, but after awhile you realize that there are some pretty sensitive folks out there. I know it takes all kinds for the world to go around, however I don't want to have to worry about it when I am here. So now I feel a little more free to speak my mind which you all know has never been a problem, but now I feel I am among friends. Thanks for sharing this little adventure with the Schmidts...

So today was one of those days when I was waiting for Dwight Schrute to walk in at any time and make popcorn

Yesterday was pretty blah at work considering everyone just got back from the holiday, there were the usual conversations, "So how was your Christmas?" blah, blah, blah. If yesterday was blah, then today was just odd. At one point I felt that I had entered an alternate universe and we had become Dunder Mifflin . You see, Thursday is popcorn day on the Garden Level. I guess the popcorn is there to help boost morale and raise a little ching for various charities. However, since today really felt like Tuesday, not Thursday, people just weren't in the mood for popcorn and the world went a little askew. It all started when someone complained that the popcorn smell was bothering them. I don't know why this day was different than any other Thursday, but today it bothered them. Maybe they were on the holiday hangover edge and it just tipped. So management was on the prowl for a new home for the popcorn machine. That is when I was approached and asked if it would be ok if t...
