There's Nothing I Can't Conquer

****

It's late, so I don't want to be on here too long, but I'm
feeling good. My first day of closing went really well.
The time goes by quicker than it does during mid-shift.
Which is what I used to work. The mall closes at 9pm, so
an hour or so, you can relax and mess around a little. And
thank god, take off the confining blazer I'm coming to
hate (because it's confining and makes me overheat).

Kiki was showing some improvement today. By improvement I
mean, she didn't sleep 80% of the day away. Instead, she
cycled between sleep and wakefulness. The wakeful periods
were tough, because she cried CONSTANTLY. Nothing I did
could console her. All she wanted was her daddy. Which
didn't make me feel so great. It was strange, because
usually when she's sick she wants me, but all she said
today was "want daddy", "where's daddy?". I don't think
she's cried so much in her life. Not even as a newborn.
You'd think her own crying would hurt her damaged ears,
but it didn't appear to.

Once Snookums got home, we did a changing of the guards.
He took over Kiki care, which was exactly what she wanted
anyway, so she stopped crying a little. She still melted
into hysterics when I left for work, but Snookums said she
got over it quickly once he offered her a strawberry
Popsicle. We've managed to get most of her antibiotic
doses down disguised in V8 Fusion juice. So, if there's
any parents out there that can't get their toddler to take
medicine, that works. I like the Pomegranate Blueberry
juice, personally, but any flavor works and the bonus is
it's a full serving of fruits AND veggies in one glass. It
makes me feel like super mom :) Fruits, veggies,
antibiotics. There's nothing I can't conquer.

I got a little pissed off at Tamara today. I was going to
just shrug it off, but I decided not to. What's the point
in having a diary if I can't bitch to it? Well, she called
yesterday (and left a message) asking if I could work
Saturday, the 23rd from 4-8:30pm. First of all, Saturday
isn't in my availability, Tuesday and Thursday are. I only
worked tonight as a favor to Leah. And secondly, Snookums
has duty next Saturday. I REALLY can't work it, even if I
wanted to, which I don't. But, Tamara scheduled me anyway.
I was a little angry about that, because it puts me in a
position to have to find someone to cover it, which won't
be easy because she couldn't find anyone available to work
it when she was making the schedule. Turns out she let too
many of her weekend girls have the day off, now she's
screwed. So, I left a little note on the schedule. I'm not
working it. There's just no way.

I think I'll be going now. Snookie and I are having a
midnight meal of fish sticks. I know, how epicurean :)
Ciao.
