Too Much Drama!

****

The Way I See It #230

Heaven is totally overrated. It seems boring. Clouds,
listening to people play the harp. It should be somewhere
you can't wait to go, like a luxury hotel. Maybe blue
skies and soft music were enough to keep people in line in
the 17th century, but Heaven has to step it up a bit.
They're basically getting by because they only have to be
better than Hell.

Since I've exhausted all the quotes in my Recovery book,
I've decided to gather quips, phrases and words of wisdom
from wherever I may find them. Today's saying (as some of
you may know) came from the side of my Starbucks cup. I
always read my The Way I See It, but today it really
struck a cord with me. Heaven doesn't really sound very
exciting. Honestly, I'll take my chances with the devil if
it means I'll get to see a little action! But, I suppose
that's the heathen in me talking :)

Everyone knows what's been going on in my life. Quite
frankly, I'm tired of talking about it, so I'm not. I'm
going to share with you how my day went and leave it at
that. Too much drama! I can't handle it anymore! I need a
break. If I can't take a vacation, at least I can give
myself a mental vacation.

I had a good day for the most part. As I was driving home,
that occurred to me, so I wanted to note that here. I
realized I had a good day BEFORE I sat down to write
this :)

Work went well. We had a surprise loss prevention audit
today. It wasn't a total surprise, we knew it was coming,
just not when. Because I'm considered top talent, I was
the lucky winner of an interview with loss prevention. I
think I answered all of his questions well and didn't make
any mistakes. He seemed to like what I was saying. Mainly
he asked about how I liked working there, how long I'd
been with the company what our shrink rate was (how much
does our store lose per year to theft, associate fraud, or
paperwork errors). All of which, I know well. So, it was a
breeze. Our store scored a 90, so that's cool. Better than
our 85 last time.

I stopped by our new house again today. This time I went
back to look in the windows at a time when the sun wasn't
reflecting off of them. I'm still trying to get a grasp of
the layout. I discovered a door in the upstairs bedroom I
didn't see before, which leads me to believe it's the
master bedroom with a door to the bathroom (nice) and the
little room downstairs is a kids room. But, it's got two
closets in it, which threw me off. I don't know what to
think about that. I'm almost considering putting the girls
in the same room (much to Annie's dismay) and using the
other closet-sized room for a play room. That way I can
keep most of the house clean and isolate their disaster to
one room. I'll have to decide once I walk through the
place. I can't make any decisions based on what I've seen
through 4 windows.

I think Kiki ate something that didn't agree with her,
because she's been throwing up all evening. Starting right
after dinner until now. As sad as it was to see her sick,
it was cute too. She was sitting in her little Elmo chair
in the living room, when all of a sudden, she started
throwing up in her lap. She looked down at herself, then
looked at me and said "paper towel please". It was too
cute! I gave her a bath and some baby peptol. She's just
gagging now. Nothing is coming up. I sure would like to
know what happened. I'm thinking it was the Hot and Spicy
Doritos and the greasy pepperoni and sausage pizza
Snookums gave her for dinner. I told him she had a
delicate stomach. Maybe now he'll believe me!

That's all I've got to talk about today. No drama! Ciao.
