Points And Prizes - Sheknows

[amycrows]

BG I am so glad to hear that it wasn't really towards you even though it was. He let off his steam to the wrong person, but thankfully you guys are okay. They need serious therapy then cuz if she is making him choose between a silly dog (no offense anyone) and his family than that is just wrong. Like Andit said why not special training for the dog? Otherwise then they need to find him/her a better home. There is obviously more to the story, the dog might just be the tip of the iceberg in troubles in that marriage but I hope things work out for them.

Mean Mums
Someday when my children are old enough to
Understand the logic that motivates a parent, I will
tell them, as my Mean Mum told me: I loved you
enough . . . to ask where you were going, with whom,
and what time you would be home.

I loved you enough to be silent and let you
discover that your new best friend was a creep.

I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours
while you cleaned your room, a job that should have taken 15 minutes.


I loved you enough to let you see anger,
disappointment, and tears in my eyes. Children must
learn that their parents aren't perfect.

I loved you enough to let you assume the
responsibility for your actions even when the
penalties were so harsh they almost broke my heart.

But most of all, I loved you enough . . to say
NO when I knew you would hate me for it.

Those were the most difficult battles of all. I'm
glad I won them, because in the end you won, too.
And someday when your children are old enough to
understand the logic that motivates parents, you will tell them.

Was your Mum mean? I know mine was. We had the
meanest mother in the whole world! While other kids
ate candy for breakfast, we had to have cereal, eggs, and toast.
When others had a Pepsi and a Twinkie for lunch,
we had to eat sandwiches.
And you can guess our mother fixed us a dinner that was
different from what other kids had, too.

Mother insisted on knowing where we were at all
times. You'd think we were convicts in a prison. She
had to know who our friends were, and what we were
doing with them. She insisted that if we said we
would be gone for an hour, we would be gone for an hour or less.

We were ashamed to admit it, but she had the nerve
to break the Child Labour Laws by making us work We
had to wash the dishes, make the beds, learn to
cook, vacuum the floor, do laundry, empty the trash
and all sorts of cruel jobs. I think she would lie
awake at night thinking of more things for us to do.

She always insisted on us telling the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth. By the time
we were teenagers, she could read our minds and had
eyes in the back of her head. Then, life was really tough!

Mother wouldn't let our friends just honk the horn
when they drove up. They had to come up to the door
so she could meet them. While everyone else could
date when they were 12 or 13, we had to wait until we were 16.

Because of our mother we missed out on lots of
things other kids experienced. None of us have ever
been caught shoplifting, vandalizing other's
property or ever arrested for any crime. It was all her fault.

Now that we have left home, we are all educated,
honest adults. We are doing our best to be mean
parents just like Mum was.

I think that is what's wrong with the world today.
It just doesn't have enough mean mums!

Morning,

So remember back about a month ago when my manager turned around and told me I was getting very little shifts (ie. 3 shifts a week and thats it and i told her I wanted about 5 or 6). Thewy been cutting back everyone hours I mean FT day staff have been getting 2 or 3 shifts from 5 or 6. I'm getting 7 days a week now till further noticed. The other 2 night staff up and put their two weeks in a refuse to work ( & they have noone else to do nights but me and this manager). I can't wait to see my pay cheques LOL. Can't wait be hitting overtime big time makine double an hour . But I just hope if she finds someone to do nights later that my hours wont be cut. The more money the better (I wont have to worry about if I have the money for my meds during the school year).

Anyways,

I'm off to eat before going back to bed.

Maybe, I'll get to see more cute cops and firefighters (here hoping)

[Purple_Everything]

Thanks for the word Amy and for the info!!

[amycrows]

Good for you Ricki. I know the Timmy's around here are hiring like mad as well, my neighbour is a store manager and always asking me to get trained so she can call me in for shifts when people call in sick or just quit on the spot. It happens alot and the one she is at is next to the hospital so really busy.
