It's as Official as it gets!!!!

Everyone knows I have 3 girls. Just like the Brady Bunch but our family is nuts and fun all at the same time. the oldest is Bettlylou (not her real name of course) and unless you've been on Mars you know her blog. Lots of faithful readers tune in everyday for the Bettylou update. She is in lust and having a great time.

The youngest is very PG and due in August. She loves Justin and Justin says he loves her.

Now the middle daughter, lives in San Francisco with her people (her words not mine) She lives in bliss with her girlfriend, Jen. Today Jen and Becky (her real name) enter into domestic partnership and the ceremony was very touching. I know because I was in Jen's pocket via cell phone. I tried to stay quite but I was excited. The judge took his time. The wording is exactly like getting married in front of the Justice of the Peace except every time they were to say the work marriage, they said Domestic partnership. They took lots of pictures and will send them to me soon. I was crying like a baby. We are all happy for the happy couple. My only child who got hitched is happy. I think she is more settled in some ways then the other two. The big party is in September and the family is flying out for the big event. We're even taking some good friends with us.

Next is a baby for Becky and Jen!!! More to follow.

All Better now!!!

Whew!! that was a long two weeks. Work is much better. I'm caught up and the new underlings are catching on quickly and they are actually helping me everyday they are there.

Mr. Wonderful is out of town for the whole week and you know what that means. I secretly throw away his stuff that he collects. This week it was picture frames, pillows, and anything resembling a stuffed animal that he has been saving in the crawl space for 20 years. I had a huge pile with a "sort me" sign on it. That has taken 2 days to do. Pictures are everywhere. I am glad everything has gone digital. Sure will be a space saver. I always said I was saving the basement till I retire, But I want to finish the basement in the next 2 years. So that means, every thing's got to go! All the games are going in the crawl space. All the baskets and silver too. The biggest problem will be of course (you guessed it) Mr. Wonderful will not part with his junk. He has gorilla racks full of stuff like old computers, old phones, electrical wiring he doesn't know how to use, file boxes full of stuff, boxes of books just to name a few. He needs to go out of town for a month.

Bitchfest 2

Now usually I'm a very upbeat happy go lucky individual. But not these past few days. I think I've narrowed it down to two things, maybe three. 1) I miss my friend Leanne. I miss seeing her at work everyday. I miss how she made my life very easy by her organizational skills. I miss her helping me so I can get all my work done in one day. She's gone and I should get over it. 2) Grace is leaving too. She is getting married and moving to California. All this creates havoc in our office as we transition to new employees. You don't know what to expect and frankly, work is getting to be work and not any fun anymore. 3) My cheapskate boss is dragging his feet and has not put an ad in the paper advertizing Grace's job. He keeps saying he is going to go the hygiene school but I can't figure out why he wants to go to the hygiene school. It's not like day labor where they are hanging out outside the school ready to be picked up by truck and taken to a dental office. They are all students ansd will not be licensed till August. I talked to him last week and frankly he acts like he doesn't have a care in the world. All the while, I am losing sleep over all that is unsettled. My state of depression is suffocating me.

I just want to be left alone. I don't want to talk to anyone (including Mr. wonderful) I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to go to the gym. I don't want to go shopping. I don't even want to eat.

Help me!!!!!

I know things will get better. But when??

Oh there's more. My boss in all his infinite wisdom has decided his 15 year old daughter who knows nothing about dentistry except that she has teeth will be working with us this summer and I have to teach her my job! This job I've been doing for 32 years just seems to be so easy for my boss. I told him that I will show her a few things but will not show her everything. I'm so far behind "showing other new people stuff I don't have any time to do my job. And get this. He's paying her 15.00 per hour!!! How unrealistic is that! I very mad about that. Boy is she going to get a rude awakening in the real world when she ventures out past the daddy umbrella of life.
