Crazy times in Crazy Places

So today was defiantly a blogworthy day. It was INSANE around the office. Let's see... where to start, where to start...

First i was in a bad mood. My boss said something and although he meant well it got under my skin. We had a meeting in the morning and i was SURE i was going to get fired. The only meeting i've been to someone almost got fired so i was for SURE iwas getting fired. Well i didn't, and actually they brought me in there to discuss things that would help me do my job :)

Second we had a CRAZY man come in. Literally 7 feet tall. He started telling me this story about how the shrink wrap we use to wrap our SOTP (Sex Offenders Treatment Program) Manuals ate through is brand new harley davidson shirt and pants! For real? You REALLY think we are going to believe that?

So i ask the boss what to do and he gave him the manufacturer's number. The guy got mad and brought the shirt in, had me RUB the shirt with the shrink wrap and said he was going to come back in an hour and show me what it did. Me, thinking he's crazy rubbed it on my LACE shirt and told him if it ate through either one we would pay him back. He came back two hours later and sure enough, both shirts were perfectly fine and sent him on his way. There is a first time for everything. We work with that all day everyday and have no problems.

Third I went shopping at walmart, and usually i falter. I get distracted and by all the things i don't need to buy and then get to tired to buy/remember to buy all the things we need. Especially if i'm on the phone. However, today i was talking to my sister and bought everything we needed on the list AND quite a few cheap but great suprises for david. All of our groceries (including ribs, hamburger, and chicken) were $70 and i did it in twenty minutes! a pretty good cartful!

Fourth, i rented TWO red box movies david and i have been DYING to see. "UP" and "Ice Age, Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

Fifth. I wrote this blog without re-doing it five times!

Today, dispite all the crazy things that happened and the hectic day we had at work i feel so greatful that i have a great home to come home to and such awesome people in my life. Thanks to my love, support system, and best friend David for all that he does. My sister for making me an efficient shoppes (and human being) . And all my friends for all they do for me :)

Whoops!

So last monday was a pretty typical day. Work, dinner, relaxing, talking to my sister. Then David decided he would take myah out, and a few minutes later i hear my name. Kind of odd considering you don't need much help to sit there while your dog runs around on her leash, but i go outside and see david on all fours in the wet FREEZING cold grass asking me to take the dog.

I immediately think that she has jumped on him and had some bad aim, if you know what i mean. So i put the puppy inside and go to get him but he will not move or tell me what's wrong. Apparently, as he told me about twenty minutes later when we finally get him over the car port step and up the steps to our house, he went to hop off the porch and landed in a pot hole created by our little ball of mischief herself!

My poor husband's ankle was HUGE! We figured it wasn't broken but it was sprained pretty good. We had a friend get us some crutches and gave him some pain medicine but the rest of the week everything was on me.

You really don't realize how much of a team effort marriage is until you have to do everything yourself. Cooking, cleaning, shopping, taking the dog in and out, getting him drinks, ice, fixing his bandages, and everything! I am SOOOOOOO thankful that he is back in business (more or less) and able to help me with everything again!

He really couldn't stand the crutches and tried to get off them as soon as he could. Not because he was trying to be tough but he has a pinched nerve and it effects his right arm (shooting pains, tingling, numbness, etc) which happens to be the sprained ankle side too.

I need to start taking better care of this poor guy! Pictures to come
