Thursday Thoughts

Our family is due a vacation, somewhere that I can prop my feet up and just relax. Yes someone might say I get to prop my feet up for 8 eights hours a day when I go to sleep at night but I honestly feel exhausted.

Baby C has a Social Studies test today so we were up late last night going over, responsibility, decisions, elections, voting and boycotts. It's as if the world says "Don't worry...anything you fell asleep in during elementary school you'll have a chance to recap 20 odd years later when you go back to school with your children"

We have parent teacher conference tonight and I already know what the teachers going to say....I'm so tired that I wonder if I should even go but I'm sure it would look like I'm not interested in my daughters education....the teacher will say "She's an A student, smart and intelligent but she talks too much". Baby C has come home twice with papers that she has to write over and over again "I will not talk in class".

I guess I'm kind of at the point of 'If she's getting A's and she's talking too much, does she need more work to occupy the time that she has to talk?' But that always comes off as so snooty....I guess I know my child is just a chatter box!

My new company went out for a 2 hour lunch yesterday to mark the 1 year anniversary of being acquired. I don't know much about a company being acquired, I know there's often times a negative stereotype associated with it .... but hey here it's a time to celebrate and we had the most delicious Indian buffet for lunch.

I have a least 3 appointments I need to make and I don't even feel like calling any 800 numbers, staying on hold for any amount of time, spelling my last name 4 times, or repeating the last 4 digits of my social, only to then finally arrive at the appointment and watch the little hand on a clock tick and tick past my appointment time as I read old magazines in a stuffy waiting room.

Big C's view at work

I have to pick up cases of Girl Scout cookies today during my lunch hour as Baby C has a Girl Scout cookie booth this weekend at a local grocery store...it's supposed to rain which sucks, I'm hoping her Troop does well at the booth sale....she's currently sold 500 boxes on her own.

I'm realizing a trend with today's blog post....I'm so tired that everything sucks and is negative...oh well it's just one of those days, but that Indian buffet though!

So I have 3 more days of my green smoothie detox left, the last 21 days of green juice has actually flown by and I can honestly say, besides this present moment of writing this post I actually feel MUCH better, less sluggishness and less bowling ball stomach walk.

Big C scared the living day lights out of me yesterday, texting me that he didn't feel well and felt dizzy! I told him to stop what he was doing and test his sugar levels. Of course typical man he didn't even have his monitor with him to check his levels so he had to make his way home from work and BOOM his sugar level was 299!! (Normal is around 140).

He  thought he felt dizzy because his levels were low and told the guy at the coffee shop he was at that he felt dizzy and the guy was nice enough to give him some orange juice.

If only he'd known that he felt dizzy because his sugar level was TOO high and then the orange juice spiked it even more!!!

Never a dull moment in the C household...
