Melanie ~ look at me with starry eyes...

All our diapers are shipped. Today was just regular orders. From Wednesday to Thursday, I worked 104 hours and 55 minutes. I'm slightly nervous my boss will have a breakdown when she sees my hours, my coworker asked me to tally her hours since she was feeling really tired, and she worked 35 hours in the same week. I really just went from when I woke up till I finally went to bed, I'm TWO weeks behind on Sons Of Anarchy!! :P However, I did print and tally 9000 order, and each order I have to go through and remove the tax, gift certificates, read notes, email customers, etc. I just never stopped. I felt like I was buzzing the whole time. I was pretty tired this morning, I'm taking this afternoon off before I tally the last 1000 orders. We ended up just getting me to stop so I could be on the floor packing orders, and my boss put a strike through each order that wasn't tallied, so I could do it after. I think if we do big things like this, we should tally the orders after! This was a good learning experience. Maybe now my cough/sore throat will go away.

Time to start thinking about Thanksgiving. Plan my menu. Find a good price on turkey. I want to have most my food prepped on Wednesday so it's done before my inlaws even arrive. That worked well last year. I need some more vegan recipes for my brother in law and his girlfriend. Last year I did brussel sprouts in bacon and she wanted some so bad, I'll make her some minus the bacon, although I think she secretly wanted the bacon.

I lost 3 receipts somehow, totalling over $100, for my boss. She says it's fine, I can just look at my bank statement, but I'm so annoyed.

Paxton watched Star Wars for the first time this week and that's all he wants to watch now. Today he had some issues listening at work, so he lost TV and didn't care till he realized that meant no Star Wars. He apologized and we worked out a deal that he could clean his bedroom and watch it. I've never seen his room so spotless, I was honestly surprised when he called me in to see.

My kids are a bit of a mess, emotionally, they need some mama time over the next 4 days till we go back to work.

I forgot to write about the disgusting thing that happened yesterday. Work has an ant problem that we keep under control with vacuuming every day, keeping food in the kitchen and ant poison.

I had a bag of cherries in my diaper bag, didn't think anything of it. It wasn't a sealed bag, it's the kind you buy fruit in that has little holes.

Yesterday I grabbed my diaper bag, got in the car and wondered why my diaper bag smelled like dirty diaper. I reached in and fished around and found the bag of cherries (which would have still been good) and there were hundreds of ants all over it, some of which fell on me!

I freaked, threw my diaper bag, started trying to wipe ants off of me. Tim came out and checked me over, I had to pull the floor mat out of the car because it was covered, I squished a ton of ants that were running all over the doors and windows. We spent the rest of our drive squishing random ants that found their way up to the dashboard.

Lesson learned: Only sealed containers at work.
