My Week in Review

So, today ends the first work week of my National Blogging challenge month. Here are some highlights from my week that I was not able to blog about.

1) I gave myself tendonitis in my wrist, this is predominately from doing this gigantic data clean up project at work, I’m talking 19,000 lines of copy, paste, copy, paste etc. etc I’m surprised my hand didn’t just fall off.

2) My daughter had to be removed kicking and screaming from a Harlem Ambassadors game last night after she told me she hates me, refused to sit on the bleachers, screamed that basketball was “Bow-wing” and kicked her father. No more events after 7pm for her.

3) I have had pizza two days in a row, and I’m kind of loving that.

4) when I went to the doctor yesterday, I found that I was only 6 lbs away from hitting the weight I said I would kill myself if I hit. So, diet, or death, which is the lesser of two evils? Prepare for some cranky dieting blogs I guess.

5) My daughter was given a 6 foot tall poster of Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Why? And Where will I put it?

6) I’m making a super cool Christmas present for my friends Lana and Heidi, but that’s all I’m going to say about it!

7) I have watched all 6 Harry Potter movies, twice, this week

8) I finally got caught up on Heroes!

9) I didn’t get to talk to Scout hardly at all this week, which is very very sad and must be remedied.

10) I had a great text convo with Cari while she was waiting for her class to start at Western

Cari: OMG a girl just walked in wearing sequined pants!
Me: Apparently you are at the disco and you were not even aware!
Cari: Someone is all ready for Downtown Johnny’s in between classes
Cari: Or her afternoon hooking job

Its not as funny this way, but I was cracking up.

My other favorite convo from an IM with Wes happened a couple weeks ago, but its too funny not to share. To preface this set of comments, we had been discussing Wes’ feeling that parents are given too many privileges in the world and that childless individuals deserve the same considerations. Whether I agree with him or not will be obvious by my response to his statement.

Wes: Yeah, well I park in the family parking at the mall, just because you have kids doesn’t mean you should get special parking!

Me: Try walking with an 8lb baby nearly falling from your vagina and a stroller, diaper bag and screaming toddler in tow and tell me that doesn’t require parking up front?

Wes: Just stay home!

Me: You know what, if they had “Fu**ed too hard last night” parking, you’d be the first one in line for a sticker so quit bitching!

And then I laughed so hard I pee’d a little imagining him pushing everyone out of line to get in the front and frantically demand a parking permit.

So, that’s my week! Happy Blogging Month!

*Please note: Wes is not really that big an asshole. At least, I hope not.
