An ace weekend

What an ace weekend after a stressful week! One of the biggest morons I ever met in my life was fired and was working her two week notice, which ended on Friday. It just so happened that me and her were the only two people in the office and about 3pm I thought about killing her. I've never met someone SO WRONG about just about everything, yet so INSANELY CONVINCED they are right about everything. We ended up having another slagging match. Well whatever loser, because you got canned because everyone knows you are a moron. Hfmph.

We spent Saturday with my inlaws, which was a really nice day. It helped we got Mexican takeout as I have become slightly addicted to fresh corn tortilla chips and salsa.

Sunday we went to Ikea with our friends and now my daughter has a dresser and isn't living and dressing out of a cardboard box, like she has every day since we moved to Somerville. And some other stuff, like some bed sheets, which I put on the bed already (and washed first.) They aren't as nice as the Urban Outfitters ones I have been lusting afterwards. We also ate in the Ikea food court bit. I had a main course and a pudding! Fancy or what!

Unfortunately within the space of the trip, Adelaide got really sick. She is currently in bed sobbing in her sleep and coughing, with a real WHOOP (I know she doesn't have whooping cough though obviously) and sounds horrid. Humidifier, decongestants, cough mixture, you name it. I hope the munchkin is okay tomorrow, poor mite, or at least feels better.

OH! Get this, potty training has come on leaps and bounds! We are now definitely into intermediate territory! Madam did like 6 successful unprompted wees and then on Saturday a bunch more AND a poop yesterday! Totally off her own back! Amazing! I hope now she is sick she doesn't forget though and we have to start again. There has been a lot of high fives and M&M treats and stars on her chart, I can tell you.

Friday we filled our taxes. Well, I filed them because I did them, because I am awesome. How much you say? $5,000 plus? Yes thank you very much. It pays to with hold just a little as an addition people. Firstly because bank interest rates are crap, and you get it back tax free (well you have to declare your refund on next years return) and like most people, we do more good with a fat lump sum than we do trying feebly to save money during the year. So yay for that!

More job back and forth drama. Do I stay or do I go? I said I'd stay but they still want to make me another offer. Bonkers stuff. I told Coralene I am a corporate bitch in demand. Apparently I am. I think it is my accent they like really, because secretly I make a lot of mistakes, I am just good at hiding them or fixing them a month later mwhahaha!

Urgh. Roll on pay day on Tuesday. Oooh! I made Coralene a new button. It is only a quicky one. I know people hate animated gifs because they are obnoxious, but hey.... IT IS WHAT I DO BEST! OBNOX!

bye bye mental work woman! :) Maybe they can pay you your wage AND hers now? :)

You should use your tax return for a holiday to Wales. Wedding be damned!
