nice to see ewe
This morning as I drove to work about 7:30, I pulled out of our subdivision and headed down the road only to see about, I don't know, maybe 300 or so fuzzy, fat sheep plodding along in the County trust land. They were near the wire and a few were meandering close to the edge of the road so I had to slow way down. If I had hit one, it would have been very baaaaaaaad! (just like my pun) I had the boys with me and Little Bear was so excited to see them. He wanted to get out of the car and pet them in the worst way. I have no idea where they came from. I have never seen them before and they were long gone when I got home a little after noon. I think they were just out getting their sheep thrills. I'll stop now, sorry.

best week ever
Oh, last week was a good week. Three of the most precious moments ever happened.
One morning I was getting Little Bear dressed and out of the blue he said "I love you, mama." It was the first time he had said it without me saying it first. And I understood him completely, it was true and clear. I almost cried. Sap.
Saturday night I baked a banana cake for Little Bear because he kept asking for cake. Well, he fell asleep before it was done baking. Sunday morning when he saw the cake he was so excited. So after breakfast I let him have a little piece. Then he said "Mama, thank you for baking a cake for me." OMG! Too sweet!
The final special moment came straight from HOHO. I was in the shower and he was in the bathroom rummaging through the drawers. When I turned off the water, I heard him go "Uh-oh, all done!" When I opened the shower curtain he was standing there holding my towel out for me. My own personal valet! It was pretty darn cute.
Those are the moments I hold with me when I am sitting on HOHO forcing medicine down his throat twice a day for 6 weeks to get rid of the ring worm fungus he had on his head. He got it from his friend, who got it from their cat. I have phantom itch from it. I can't stop itching all over. Gah.

oh really
I recently had an employee that quit after I fired her. I've been meaning to write about her but I needed some time for my anger to subside and to get some perspective. But today, I feel the need to talk about it.
We had hired an office assistant that we felt would be a perfect fit, but she quit one week after we hired her because she felt that the previous office manager was unkind, which she was not. She was blunt, a big difference. So, I ended up going back through the resumes and interviewing three more people. The one I wanted to hire took another offer and I was left with two people who were probably capable but I didn't feel anything special for either.
I flipped a coin. Oh, fate!
We hired "Cram-it" and things seemed fine. She was pleasant, did her work, and we got along much to my surprise. She looks like the type to have everything in her house be pink and probably covered in lace or plastic. Pure Cheese.
It was a time of great transition in our office. I was fairly new to my position, the old manager retired, and a new board of director's tok office and asked me for infinite amounts of work. As we are only there part-time I asked "Cram-it" for her more and more help to get through, with the understanding that things would calm down again soon. She assured me daily that things were great and she loved her job, and working with me. Blah, blah, blah. She was thrilled to have the job because her husband decided to leave a good job to become a trucker at a job site and they were broke ass. I can understand that.
Apparently after she openend my paycheck she decided she wanted my job. From about the third week she began sending long, rambling, crazy emails to the board of directors about how I don't bother to show up at work, that she does everything anyway, that I spend my day surfing the internet when I do bother to show up and I leave the office covered in garbage and dirty diapers from my children. Luckily for me the board of director's already knew that her claims were bullshit from my performance track record, the amount of work I was supplying them everyday, and the new systems I had implemented to make the office run more efficiently. I actually had my first perfect review (nothing to improve on) and I got a lovely raise. So, really I owe "Cram-it" one, as all she did was make me look better and get herself fired and thought of as CRAZY! And, I also got a second part-time job working for a famous race car driver so even better for me! SO, SUCK IT "Cram-it"!
While all of this was going down, "Cram-it" had started setting her own hours, coming and going as she pleased and then calling in sick, like nine days in a row. I think she stole money from petty cash but I can't prove it.
Anyway, her psycho wife-beater looking husband would call in for her and he was a creep, and rude to boot. One day her husband called and bitched me out about how I don't pay her enough and on and on and so I told him that if his wife has a problem she needs to talk to me because she is an adult and I work with her not him and that I wasn't going to deal with him. He said " Oh, you'll deal with me." Then he hung up on me. Nice veiled threat. So, I fired her over the phone and fifteen minutes later she quit via email. And that day she tried to apply for unemployment. I nipped that in the bud and had the locks changed immediately.
Now, I find that she has been blogging about me all over her blog using my name, where I work, how much I make and la, la, la. She even posted the same on Craigslist when I posted the job position again. Crazy bitch and her crazy bitch husband.
In my younger years I would have fucked that bitch up! I mean come on. I have her social security number and driver's license information, and other sensitive information and I could do some serious damage if I wanted. But, I won't (I'll think up some good shit though). I believe in Karma and I know that she will get it and good without me lifting a finger. I know it will hurt and that makes me smile.
The funny thing is that before all this went down, I received the following email at work and I was supportive of "Cram-it", and made it clear that what this person said made no difference, and she repays me with her unbelievable shit. Whatever. I will say that the email was written by some illiterate dumb-ass. I doesn't make any sense, but still all I can say is EWWWW. I am going to post a pic of "Cram-it" and "Wife Beater" so that you can read the letter and picture them and then throw up your lunch, like I did.
