Another insane day at work. Definitely one of those nights where I fully enjoyed playing with the boys.
Today was Col's second day in Pre-K. His 2 friends who've been with him since the infant room are both in his class and I fully admit to being freakishly happy about it. I adore those 2 and I like both sets of parents, too.

Im having a small potluck /pool party this weekend (8 ppl or so) and no one has let me know what they are bringing. I didn't specifically ask them to tell me( fb invite) so I'm debating if i should post asking people to say what they are bringing....is that pushy? I just want a plan ppl! I'd just plan on having something like meatballs, veggies/hummus and brownies. That way you have the meat, vegetarian and dessert option. I personally wouldn't ask, especially for an informal gathering. If people bring the same thing, no biggie.

So my coworkers are fine. I'm just frustrated with boss L. I handed her solid evidence yesterday to take to legal to get a contract broken and she didn't do that and isn't planning to. Why do I even bother to do work when it goes nowhere.

It's probably been a little more than a weeks since she checked in. She needs a smart phone so she can pop in during the day. I can send her a message on fb messenger if you'd like. Yeah, tell her to get her ass back here! Ass is back. I'm like a circus freak at work for not having a smartphone. I tell my coworkers about their reduced productivity and the cost benefit analysis of not owning a smartphone. Obviously I'm totes really popular at work.

My cousin just called and gave me the cost for the half cow we are getting. Way higher than I remember from last year. My anxiety is going nuts with affording this. I know we won't pay for meat for MONTHS at the store but damn, it's hard to pay that!

Friday is "Bison Day" at daycare so I have to take V shopping after work for NDSU apparal. Go Bison?

So my mom just hung up on me. I had the most neutral conversation about politics that one can have these days. Mom: "people can't have opinions these days". Me: you can have opinions you just have to accept that there may be backlash for those opinions. If you are out of the code of conduct for your job you can get fired for 'expressing' positions that don't match but you can still have the opinion. Mom: they had a permit to meet and the protesters turned violent first. The media is telling it all wrong. Me: what do you mean by media? Mom : our political views aren't the same. Me: I'm just asking what you mean by media. Where are you getting your reports if all media is wrong? Crime reports? Social media? Another news media? Mom: click

Happiness is sometimes worth spending money on plus think of all the coupons and discounts you aren't getting by using apps like cartwheel and ibotta.

At work this week, I asked a new hire for his social security card and as he was trying to pull it out of his wallet, two condoms came flying out onto the counter in front of me.
I doubt anyone could ever top that embarrassing moment at a new job.

We went to the mall this afternoon to look for shoes for H. I got a good deal on some New Balances at journeys kids, except they are tie. I also stopped into BBW to get some wallflower refills. They have all my favorite fall scents and I can't wait to use them.

You could not pay for data and only use on wifi!

I didn't specifically ask them to tell me( fb invite) so I'm debating if i should post asking people to say what they are bringing....is that pushy? I just want a plan ppl! Is it specified as a pot luck? Honestly people probably haven't thought about it yet. I would get the ball rolling by saying "I'm excited about the pay this weekend. So far I've planned on making x, y, and Z for the party. Let me know if there are any allergies. "

mwhip I have heard it is worth it but also a hard price to pay up front. When I lived in Kazakhstan people would buy half a cow or horse and store it on the outside patio because it was always below freezing. I'm glad to have a deep freeze and not live in a deep freeze!

I know it's worth it for the up front cost...it's grass fed beef, no antibiotics, it just is so much money out of pocket when we have half a deep freeze full of pork. I won't be buying meet for a LONG time!
