I took the poodles to the beauty shop this morning. Usually on Tuesdays I have to be at the CPS office from 9-1 to supervise visits. So I made the poo appointment for 8 because I was going to be up anyway today. Got up at 7:30, took a shower, got dressed, got poos ready, took them to be beautified, went to Whataburger, came home and QUICKLY did my hair and makeup. I was rushing around, sat down in the car at 8:47. It takes 15 minutes to get there, so I was gona be late. At 8:50 I checked my voicemail on my work phone only to hear that my 9 am visit cancelled. SO I'm back at home blogging and checking my email.
Yesterday I was sitting in my computer chair, like I have almost everyday since Dec 2000. I like it. It's wide enough for my ass, the arms are just right, and it rocks back and doesn't pitch me in the floor. So, I was sitting and all of a sudden I slowly sank down. It broke. When I stand up it raises back up, but as soon as I sit it's back as low as it goes. And now it sits at a funny angle. I guess I'm going to ask for a new puter chair for Christmas.
William will be here tonight. And tomorrow my mom is flying in. This will be the first time in her almost 49 years of life that she has flown alone. That is amazing to me. I flew alone for the first time when I was 8. Summer after 3rd grade I went to see my friend, Kristina (who some of yall met at my wedding), in Phoenix. She moved during the year in 3rd grade and we had been best friends since preschool, it was no big deal even back then to fly alone! But anyway, Mom's first time is tomorrow. Thursday, you know, Turkey Day...is also her birthday. It, of course, is not always on Thanksgiving...but it is always on the 25th :). My dad is in WY working in the horrible freezing cold snow. He hates cold weather. And he will be working on Thursday. Sad sad.

25 SIGNS YOU HAVE GROWN UP
1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won't turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM!
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating pizza at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old butt.

I can't believe it's already been two weeks since I blogged. Time flys when you are having fun. Snort. Work is still wild, but nothing so extreme lately. The roaches were worse last week, but they did keep their distance from me. I go back tomorrow so I'm crossing my fingers that they continue the distance. I think I am going to get a holdster made for me to wear and have cans of Raid ready to whip out. Wouldn't that make for an impression!?
Mandy's Shelley's 30th birthday was this past weekend. Vic took off work and we went out. I just posted a few pics. It was a wild wild wild night. Sorry about the 3 am phone call, Misti. Tell Danny too. We went to Hamburger Marys. Then we went to the "gayborhood" to Sue Ellen's, everyone's favorite lesbian bar. Oh yeah, HMary's was a gay burger place...there was a fabulous drag queen to entertain us.
Ok, I've got to write case notes. I had 4 back to back visits this morning and need to get 'um in writing before they get too foggy.

If anyone thinks that they had a bad day yesterday...mine probably beat it. So unless at anytime you felt something in your hair and shook your hair out to find 3 roaches only to look down and see 4 more on your pants...and immediately after got scratched by some mangy kitten that you could see the fleas on....and had to help restrain a 9 year old child as she hit, kicked, bit, pulled hair, spit, pissed on (yes, she did. and in my lap.), cussed at (according to her I'm a "big stupid mutha f'er...as soon as I get loose I'm gona kill you bitch") for 2 damn hours...only to finally call the police to come so that MHMR could come do a psy. eval. Then I gotcha beat and you should all say "damn, Amanda, that sucks" over to the left here.
Thanks.
Thanks.
