Heck Yeah! I just got a job! A real full time job with benefits! I’m so excited! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Ah, I talked to hubby at lunch. He said he was just upset they didn’t come out right, and when I come home and make the new batch, could he please watch so he can learn to do them right in case this happens again? Okay…so…deep breath, and sigh, now.
Aww. What a sweetheart. Frustrating, yes, but the best outcome is that he’s willing to learn from you and his mistakes. It really is the thought that counts. If I was you, I’d send your dad the new batch and give your hubby credit for helping.
I agree, that was so sweet of your husband to try and help!
(and um, when did I start becoming a roommate? I’m his girlfriend!) B.S!
You aren’t his girlfriend. You’re his Mom.
But I do get Disney Land with someone who knows a lot of people who work there, so I get a different experience than the ‘average’ guest at Disney land.. and it’s my first time ever being there o.o
You will have such an awesome time! My sister worked at Disney World this last semester and it made the trip much more exciting!
I could easily get an extension from my commissioner (They’re not the ones pushing, they never have been) – It’s my family. Dad jumped into the middle of a conversation with my commissioner, right when I was asking if she wanted a canvas print done (I was quoting the canvas prints from where I’ll order her regular print) and my dad jumped in and told her he can get them done much cheaper and he’ll get one done for her if she wants (Whatever. His deal, NOT mine!) – So now dad is pushing because he wants to send for the canvas print. Mom is pushing because it’s a dogshow person and because dad is pushing…
This part pisses me off. A business transaction between you and your client is NONE of your family’s business. They want you to act professional? Next time they bring it up, tell them that you cannot discuss confidential matters with them.
‘n trying to say something to them to back them off? My dad sulks.. and my mom gets 5x worse and snippy and will hold that grudge (I still get snide comments about things I stood up to her about YEARS ago – When talking about my current bf, she still brings up an argument we had when I was dating a guy she HATED when I was 18! – That’s nearly 10 years ago!)
Please don’t hate me for saying this, but they do this to you because it works. Your dad sulks, so what? Mom gets worse? Limit your contact with her. Tell her that if she keeps treating you this way, you are going to hang up or leave the room, and then follow through. Yeah, they are going to get really bad for a little bit when you start setting boundaries, but if you are consistent they will finally back off. Same goes for the argument 10 years ago. Next time she brings it up, tell her you are no longer discussing that subject and end the conversation. If she won’t drop it or brings it up again, hang up/leave rinse and repeat.
They aren’t treating you with respect because they know they can get away with it. Demand respect!
Again, please don’t hate me!
I think I may have FINALLY figured out the phrase, but I’ll wait until the end to make sure.
And I didn’t know we got a prize for getting a store to sell windstones! Is that still true? Can someone direct me to the place where I find info on wooing a store and making sure my name gets in the mix?
I just got tickets to an Alan Jackson concert in April, so I’ve been rockin’ out to his music lately!
I really like listening to musicals while I work. The story helps keep my mind focused on the music.
Hands down, Carol Berg is my favorite author. Her first books are more fantasy, but her latest series is dabbling more in sci-fi. If you haven’t read anything from her, pick up her first book “Song of the Beast.” It’s about dragons and is a good introduction to her writing style. She is the most talented writer I have read. Her character and story development are so deep and intense and she often does not pick the obvious route.
Read it!!!!!
