Week in Review

( I'm looking at houses. )

I swear, I will get caught up at work. It's driving me nuts how far behind I've managed to get. I'm still working to train a staff person to do my job so that maybe in the next couple months I could take an actual vacation and not have to be around for a week. I had someone trained, and then he got stolen from me. Grrrrrr. Oh, a vacation sounds so nice, but I don't think my brain would let me enjoy it until I was caught back up at work. I feel like I'm going insane with how far I've let myself get behind, and it's really starting to show in my work performance, which makes me doubly upset.

Today I got to spend a little time (~2hrs) with my youngest nephew, along with the other two nephews and my sister. He's now a year and a half, and I've spent maybe a week in total in his presence since he was born. So far he's not being shy with me. I don't really get to see him that often, mostly because Mom forgets to tell me when they have him for a weekend.

BD2 is back in jail. Apparently, he'd been staying with my parents, and during that time had been arrested twice. My parents are now making arrangements for his stuff to be picked up by the other grandparents. The other grandparents are no more surprised than I am when I hear things like my sister's been arrested. So, Sis is living with a couple guys in Mansfield rent free while basically keeping things clean for the two bachelors, and one of them runs a pawn shop and gave her a PC tablet at no charge. *glares* BD1 is out of jail, and was actually allowed to see the boys last weekend. And BD2 is in jail. Everyone clear?

Dad still doesn't care one lick about Father's Day. He says the whole concept is a load of crap. My dad makes me happy.

Class is class, and I'm getting better with my stick work. Woohoo.

I haven't been able to work on the cross stitch this week.

I've barely read any of the three books sitting on my night stand.

All-in-all, it's been a great week.
