My dragon is hogging the foot stool. Next week shes getting a hair cut.

I rebooked my next hair apt because after 6 months I actually got a specialist appointment for my iud....at the same time my hair appointment was for tomorrow. Quite pleased as my hairdresser...is booked until June but she booked me in the first week if april. She's awesome and in high demand.

Work was busy today but not stressful like i expected. He might be scared to make me mad because if i leave he has no one to do admin or train for it ordo the real estate and training. I've bern there 2.5 years the receptionist *reception dude started in july.

The assumption drives me insane. I must admit more and more lately I have this massive want to stand on a chair and say "Hi, this is me, nice to meet you, now please see me for me and not the pretty little picture of me you have in your head, that is not me"

Here is the link the instant pot, I think it is pretty amazing.

The sad thing is with her we have them a week and she has them a week....and a good portion of the week they are with her...they end up with us during the evening anyways with her either doing hair in the house (bleh) or them saying they'd rather be at dads while she drops one or the other off or runs to her house to get something needed for whatever and is gone for a couple hours.

I dont mind having the boys. I do mind her using us or ruining plans with them.

What is an instant pot?

I know it is pretty cool, I am already waiting for mine to arrive, I hate waiting, I have not patients, I want to play with it now.

Good morning, everyone. :)

Have a few things to do around here, then off to my last (!!!) eye surgery. bff is picking up my Mom, then they're picking me up at the hospital, then we swing by the condo to get the critters for a nice mini vacation. I should be back by the weekend, well, if I can tear myself away from the yummy home cooked meals. I know I'll be in the doghouse/cathouse when we get back, since the brats will have become accustomed to the appropriate level of being spoiled. :P

Hope everyone has a wonderful few days! :)

Andi, hoping all goes well with your procedure.

so not having a good day. im supposed to be at a funeral, however i chose not to go and torture myself more than i did yesterday. I des. need to talk to family. Unfortunately i'm fearing the worst of a situation.

I hope things are cheering up for you. We have sunshine today so I hope you do too.

Bell definitely ranks as one of our top money leaks. I'm thinking of making the switch sometime soon. All these nickel and dime increases have doubled our costs from when we switched from Rogers. It was funny, but we switched because of high costs and now they've increased the rates within a few years enough to make Rogers look good! I'm really tired of the games these companies play...
