Pieces of Us...
Never Enough Time.... - Saturday, June 03, 2006
Things have just been absolutely CRAZY this week. You take a nice 4 day weekend and what do you get when you return to work.... Slammed! Ugh. I love taking vacations, but it seems when you get back things have just piled up. And I was only gone two days. Geeze.

The real reason I was so busy this week is I was moving my office. They have finally hired a new person to work in events and education, so I'm back to legal full time. I don't mind. I really enjoyed working in events much better than legal, but it had come a time where I couldn't handle both jobs. It was too much. I was constantly stressed and worried about how much I had to do. So I am at least grateful they took some of my work off of me. But I will definitely miss working in events. I will still do all the legal events. Just not all the big meetings we have throughout the year. Although they will still depend on me to be the "AV person." Still not sure how I acquired that job. I mean come on people, it's not that hard to hook up an LCD projector. It only has two cords.

Anyway, so I was basically moving all week. I am known at the office as the "pig pen." I keep my office looking like a total wreck. Not sure why I do it, but I always have papers and boxes and files strewn about. I'm sure they will be glad I am gone with my messiness. I always get gigged on my messiness on my evaluation. But each year I just let them know it's never going to change. That just happens to be how I work. They laugh it off. After 7 years, I think they have pretty much figured out I'm never going to have a neat office.

So I had like 5 years of build up in this particular office. I started cleaning up and I think I trashed about 60% of my office. I was throwing away files and registrations. You name it, it went into the dipsty dumpster. After I was finished my old office looked clean. I even vacuumed and dusted. The new girl should be happy. She has a clean office to start in.

So I just rolled everything on carts over to my new office. I put a few things away. But for the most part, all my junk is still on the carts. I had a few things that I needed to attend to that were pretty important. And straightening out my new office was not at the top of my list. Then yesterday I had an all day computer class. My friend Sam and I took Outlook 2003, Level 2. You think you know absolutely everything there is to know about Outlook, but you don't. We learned quite a bit. I don't think I'll go back and take Level 3, I think I can figure the rest of it out on my own.

My parents came over this weekend to bring Chase back. They are really coming over to check out Skyler's new school. On Monday she has her kindergarten orientation at the new performing arts school. School doesn't actually start until August, but I think they want to bring the kindergarteners in so they can see what school is like while the other kids are there. My mom is kind of freaking out about the whole "open school" thing. Whenever I tried to explain it to her, it horrified her. But I think once she sees what it's like, she will understand it a bit more.

Right now I'm sitting here listening to Skyler cry. Skyler has no concept of privacy or minding what her parent say sometime. She thinks if your in the bathroom taking a shower or using the bathroom, she can just waltz on in and do whatever she likes. If you look the door, she totally freaks out. I've tried explaining to her that you need privacy when your taking a shower and using the restroom, but she freaks out. She will stand outside the door and beat and kick on the door. You can talk to her, put her in time out, spank her... But she doesn't listen. Sometimes I don't know what to do with her. Mom is in there taking a shower and Skyler is so mad because someone has locked the door.

I'm not sure what we are going to do this weekend. I was thinking about taking my parents down to the Lazy 5 Ranch. But it has been kind of wet and rainy today. It's not actually raining right now though so we might go on. I know I definitely don't want to be cooped up in the house with the kids all weekend. I have to get out of the house or I go bonkers.

Well I better end for now and get ready to go. Little Man is down for a nap at the moment and Skyler is lying naked in her bed crying because I got on to her for beating on the bathroom door. Just a normal day in our household.....

I've never really locked the doors, but now that my kids are developing...they are starting to lock the doors on me. And that's all well and good. I think skyler will find use for privacy when she starts developing.

Hope your able to sort out your office. I hate filing things, i usually stack it and when i finally get a bug up my butt to finally sort thru it all, i do it till it's done.

At least you had a couple days to relax :)

I think it is important for you to establish those boundaries. She is probably testing you to see if you will give in. Her need to feel "included" will have to be filled in other ways that watching someone shower. Hope you get the office unpacked. You'll have a clean one for a few days if most of it was thrown away!
