I’m irritated. I’ve been given the silent treatment all night for some reason and I’m sick to death of it.

My dog is fine. It’s the strangest thing! She woke up the next morning and seemed to be doing much better. By the end of the day, she was perfect! Running, jumping, acting like herself. I have no idea what that was about, but I’m glad she’s ok.

Thanks everyone for your kind words!

There is something wrong with my dog Roxy. She can’t stand up on her own. We had to lift her up to take her potty. This all just started today and we have no idea what may have caused it. She isn’t favoring one leg at all, it’s both legs… Almost like it’s her hips that are bothering her. She is acting confused, like she doesn’t know what to do with herself. All she can do is lay there.

This sucks, I’m really worried about her.

Today was a lovely day. I met with a couple of other moms this morning at Monkey Joe’s and we had a good time catching up while the little ones ran around. For those of you that don’t know, Monkey Joes is almost like a Chuck E Cheese’s only instead of a bunch of arcade games there are a bunch of big inflated bouncy house things. It’s pretty neat for the kids actually, there are huge inflated slides, and there are some obstacle courses and such, too. Anyway, catching up with Rachel and Michelle was pretty cool.

Other than that, I just sat around and did pretty much nothing all day. I was supposed to meet a client online at 1pm. She IM’d me about 12:45 and I told her to give me a couple of minutes and I would be ready. That was the last I heard from her! She just disappeared. I IM’d her and emailed her but she never responded. I wonder if she lost her Internet connection or something.

Meh, I don’t really have much else to blog about, unless you all want to hear about how cool my iPad is?

I do believe if my husband has the opportunity he will hijack this iPad and throw it in the lake, lol! I have never owned an iPod or iPhone or i-anything for that matter, so I’m not used to all the cool stuff you can download. I’ve spent the last few days playing around with it and downloading applications and I do believe dear hubby may feel ignored. Well, I will get over the novelty of it soon enough and I will get back to wasting my rime on a real computer instead.

In other news, I am officially broke now. Can I borrow a dollar?

Well, I managed to miss another holiday entirely. I got so sick yesterday that I missed Easter altogether. It was awful! I don’t know if it was food poisoning or what, but I spent all day in the bathroom. I slept the majority of the day. I did wake up about 11:30pm and finally managed to eat my holiday dinner. I called in sick for today, but I do feel slightly better. I’m not nauseous anymore, but my head is killing me and my back hurts something wicked from sleeping for so many hours.

On a different note, my job gave me a wireless modem to use at work. This would be the perfect opportunity to buy a 3G router and have wi-fi at work so I can use my iPad! Besides that, my boss decided he didn’t really have need for a modem so he didn’t get one. With a router, he could just mooch off of my connection if he needed to! See? Win-win, right? I’m really just trying to find a way to get my iPad connected at work, lol. I want to call my boss and ask him about it, but since I called in sick I don’t want to call him all excited about a router. I do have to wonder if my company will even allow it due to security issues. I hope so.

Anyway, that’s it for now. I managed to type this entire entry on my iPad which is awesome. Not nearly as hard to type on as you would think, and there is a nifty little app for my wordpress that I downloaded.

There is a nifty little app for my word press blog for my iPad. I am testing it out right now. Sorry to spam you all!

Wow – I haven’t posted in a month! I’ve had a story to tell, but had to get over the incident before I could actually post about it here.

A couple of weeks ago I was at work and dealing with a highly irate customer. This customer had demanded to see a manager and that would be me, so I was sitting there getting the brunt of her anger for a few minutes.

I was walking to the back of the store to get something for this customer when a co-worker stopped me and asked what school my kids went to.

At this point, I have to break and explain a little bit about my son’s school. The full name of the school is “An Awesome School that My Son Goes To” The parents, kids and teachers all call it “A.A.S.M.S.G.T” (obviously made up, lol) but the general public just calls it “Awesome School” for short.

Anyway, so when my co-worker asks what school my son goes to, I say “A.A.S.M.S.G.T”.

“Oh good!” She replies, not making the connection. “The gunman is at Awesome School.”

I continue on my merry way for about 90 seconds until it hits me what this person has just said. “Gunman? GUNMAN? Awesome School?! Wait – that’s A.A.S.M.S.G.T! You guys, that is MY SON’S SCHOOL! There is a gunman at my son’s school?!”

Irate customer be damned, I shoved her box of stuff into my nearest co-workers’ hands and told him to deal with it as I ran out the door.

Let me tell you guys – that is a feeling I never EVER want to experience again. Words can not express the panic and fear that I felt. Dude, my son is 9 years old. Who the hell shoots up an elementary school?!

Anyway, I got to the school and apparantly the “gunman” had been sighted two hours beforehand. I got no sort of notification from the school that anything was even happening! WTF! Anyway, the SWAT team was there and no one was allowed near the school. After searching the school, the police did not find a gunman of any sort. They decided to evacuate the school room by room and bus all the students to a nearby high school.

That was a MESS. 800 parents milling around waiting for their kids to be bussed. I am blown away by how immature some of these parents really were. Swearing and being jerks to the teachers and staff – as if they had anything to do with the panic we were feeling. And DUDE – we were ALL in the same situation. We ALL had kids in that school and we were ALL waiting to see if they were safe. Some of us were just assholes about it and some of us weren’t.

In the end, they never found a gunman. Thank God.

Take a look at these cakes – specifically the elephant for the 1st birthday! http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2010/01/sunday-sweets-cute-tastic.html
