Been a long time

I can't believe how long it's been since I've written. Not sure I have much to say. The blogging bug has been sleeping.

I've been back to work full-time since my last shot (the last week of May). It was hard going back and it was busy. Had lots of stuff to catch up on and had to wait out a certain amount of time for everyone to not be mad at me. It's really busy again - August is closing in. I have a lot on my plate and it's been stressful.

I bit the bullet and applied for a job a step above where I am now. I would actually be assistant boss to the peeps that are my peers now. (I'll tell ya the title if I get it.) I totally blew the interview. It really stressed me out and made me nervous. My presentation sucked. Seriously, I let my nerves get the best of me. Why in the hell do I do that????? AAAHHH! The only thing I have going for me is that I have been there so long and have "all the knowledge" as everyone tells me. Well 2 of my co-workers also applied and they could very easily beat me out even though I've got tons more years in. So, I'm just waiting. I interviewed yesterday. The only good thing about the past three days is I lost 3 pounds since Tuesday just over the stress of the interview. I truly am stupid!!! But I'll take the loss.

Tristan fell down outside today and cut his earlobe wide open. The cut is so odd and in such a strange place that all the nurses and another doctor had to come in and look at it. They said it was really strange he didn't have one other scratch on him. But it was deep so now he has about 4 or 5 stitches in him. He won't get to swim at Caden's house tomorrow but he is excited to show off his battle wound.

We took the kids to Arbuckle Wilderness last week. I am not sure it was worth the money since almost all the walk-in stuff was closed or simply didn't exist. I felt sorry for some of the animals in the walk-in area. No water or food. It was 100 degrees and 2 of the animals were very pregnant. I couldn't look. The drive through really hadn't approved since we were last there 4 or 5 years ago. I dunno. They really need to do some major work there. I wish I had tons of money. I would donate. I think we'll try the tiger place in Winnewood next time.

I have gained weight since I went back to work. So, that has depressed me some. I am not following the plan like I should but I remain aware of what to do and not do. The Brandee plan is not as good as the WW plan.

The puppy is getting so big. She's a mess. Very cute but a mess. I can't wait til the puppy stage is over. We can get her fixed in September. She'll be 6 months old then. She's already half the size of Leia. I hope she doesn't get as big as I think she will. We really don't have room for a horse in this house. She's doing much better around the other animals. If she's in a playful mood she annoys the crap out of them. But they can hang around all right. She can't be loose in the house yet but she's getting closer.

I still haven't finished my paper for my class. I start my next semester the week of August 25. Somehow I knew this would happen.

I am also applying for a leadership program at work. They are only taking 16 people so I probably won't get in this time. But I gotta try.

Tristan's summer school is over next week. Yay. We've had to make mom and dad pick him up every day. I bet they are ready to save on gas.

So ... um.... can't think of much else. If I do, I'll write again. Not so exciting stuff. Later.
