This will be a long post…. You’ve been warned. I may also jump around throughout the post.
My last real post was back in February. That seems forever
ago now. Back then I talked about Mason and I being sick… thankfully that’s not
the case now. We are all well knock on would except for the minor allergy
attacks we tend to get lately.
I took a promotion. I had interviewed for the QA position at
work not thinking I’d get it since I’m not a favorite there… But that week that
I interviewed I was asked to help out a new hire class on the floor. And by the
end of that week I was offered the position… Not knowing at the time that
position was for the new client we started with. I had to go through 3 weeks or
terror… the training for this new client was horrible…. Apparently the trainers
who came to train us were given like less than a day’s notice that they were
training us so they had no training material… let’s just say two months later
we are still struggling… I hope this time next its way better… I had to for my
4th week take calls and do what everyone else was doing… Now I’m
actually doing some of my QA work. Which in its self isn’t easy but we shall
see how it goes…
Wesley finished the 2nd grade, so he is
officially a 3rd grader… We had a teacher conference back in… March
I think, he said he was doing well except of course his hand writing… the
teacher things he has a disorder… its some sort of writing disorder but I can’t
remember the name… He is very bright and brilliant, smart. Over spring break he
was bored so I told him to pick a book off my shelf. He picked The Outsiders,
and was able to read the first two chapters and tell me about it with no
problem. I have no idea how to go about getting info on if he does have some
sort of writing disorder but over the summer I’m having him work on his hand
writing… He takes after his mother… I too have horrible hand writing.
Mason is going through his terrible twos…. He showing his
true colors all the time… he loves to curse… his favorite works are Fuck and
Shit… and he uses them in the right context all the time… he could drop a toy
and go “Oh shit…” or “Oh fuck.” We are
trying our hardest not to use bad language…. But its hard not too when you’ve
been doing it for so long. Mason is also a very picky eater these days… He will
go days without eating… and days like the last two where he eats
everything. Mason used to like
greenbeans now he doesn’t…. his favorite thing right now is Chicken…. Grilled chicken
from Pollo Tropical, can’t blame him there chicken is awesome. His other
favorite thing right now is Cars… the pixar movie Cars… he has 45 cars from the
movie, he flips out over any car stuff he sees. He’s no longer a baby in my eyes.. he is a
toddler for sure… he talks and chatters all the time he still uses some baby
language but he is getting better at using his words…. He loves daycare, but he
actually got in trouble the other day for hitting kids who had toys he wanted.
Mason for sure is going to be a handful in a few years when he starts school.
My grandmother passed away on my brother’s birthday… I hate
that for my brother. My grandma went to the hospital the day before and passed
away the next morning… We did drive to S. Florida for the funeral… it was nice
up until we went to the cemetery…. She was buried in a mausoleum… and we stood
around and watched them put her behind a wall… that… was must morbid
personally. A bunch of us decided to
walk away when they were doing it because of how wrong it felt. I miss my
grandma. She was an amazing woman. I like to think she is watching over all of
us now.
2012 first 6 months have been horrible… I sure do hope the
last 6 look up… I can’t take anymore death this year…
If you follow me on Facebook you know I’ve been working out…
I can no longer be the fat person… I’m down 16lbs since Feb. I wish I was more
but I know it’s easier to put the weight on than it is to take off… I’ve really
stepped it up now. I was embarrassed a few weekends ago.. went to the movies
and I couldn’t fit in the seat…. You realize how embarrassing that is? It’s horrible.
So I work out 5 days a week… sometimes I go for walks on the weekends too.
Its late… 3:30 est…. I’ll go to bed… I will try not to go so
far in between posts again…
PS… I’m no longer private…
