When is it Appropriate to Snap

I am sorry but I have to vent... I really need to turn this day around and I'm hoping this helps. I'll start with yesterday.

I had a pretty stressed out day at work, yesterday was payroll for the temps. I processed it on Monday because I was a bit ahead of schedule. So no problems right..wrong. Here's how it started. We put a limit on ACH transactions of $10,000.00 per day. My boss requested a dividend payout of $50,000.00, more than the limit, so last week I pushed the limit to $100,000.00 per day. The bank said no problem, they were wrong there was a problem. It takes 5 business days to get an increase approved, they did no tell me that. Anyhow, on Monday, when I was processing the payroll I decided to process the dividend as well. Guess what, I went over the limit so they froze all my ACH's but still deducted the money from the account so I had no idea, UNTIL.....

I got a call that payroll never posted to this one temps account. I called the bank, they said it was done from what they can see, so I call the girl back and tell her it's fine on my end.

Long story short (i know too late) this happened 13 times yesterday. I got the Assistant VP involved, the President and my boss who called the Chairman of the Board, who finally made the bank wire the money into all the accounts. Problem solved. Yippee.

I went home after work still kind of worked up from all the extra stuff that had to be done because of the banks error in communication. Picked up the kids, dropped the boys at gymnastics, went home, did some PartyLite stuff, picked up the boys, went to the grocery store, came home and did some laundry, cooked dinner, checked homework, sat and talked about "stuff" with my hubby. This all made my BP go up (i have high BP but on meds)a little too high for me.

Got up today, BP even higher, got ready for work. Had a heck of a time with the kids today and I know I was on edge so I should have just walked away from it all but I had to yell. Was 45 minutes late for work. Get called into one bosses(the wife) office to talk.

What did we talk about you ask? The way I dress for work. 3-1/2 months ago when I started no one told me of a dress code. I wear Capri's (dressy with open toed flats), black, tan or brown dress pants (with closed toed shoes), some days I wear Polo shirts, some days a shirt with a blouse over it, nothing sloppy, ripped or just plain old nasty. I never knew I was doing anything wrong until today.

I have been told I need to dress up my wardrobe. I should look at the way the other girls dress. There are 4 other girls here. I don't feel I dress any less than they do. I just like to wear cloths that hide the fact that I am a bit big in the mid section.

I don't know if I am more aggravated or more embarrassed right now.

Thanks for listening, it did help a bit. :)

Talking to myself......again

Sometime I think I am the only one who hears what I say. I have conversations with everyone in my house but I am the only one that listens to me.

Here is an example from tonight. Marty (hubby) went to the hospital to see his dad after this fab-u dinner I made. He called me when he got there to tell me he made it & Gus (his dad) looks better but still fells like shit. (I'll do a blog on him soon.) Anyway, everyone was off work/school today but me so the basement looks very lived in. He asked me to tell the kids to put the couch bed away, clean up all the pillows, blankets, toys and whatever else they used all day. No problem, one less thing for me to do. Mary Jo is in the shower so I tell Mike and Marty to go down and get it taken care of before dad gets home. They were both looking right at me and said okay and walked out of the kitchen and down the stairs, I know this because I watched. 10 minutes go by and they are back up stairs laughing, playing and having a pillow fight, so I think they are done. I asked Mary Jo to go down and see how it looked and report back to me. She leaves and never comes back so I think it's done. I am sitting in the office and I hear all this noise in the kitchen, stuff falling on the floor, little people trying to pick it up, it falling again, and little people laughter the whole time. I really like little people laughter so sometimes I just let it go. I got up just to see what was so funny and they are having a pillow fight in the kitchen with the pillows from the basement which means the basement is not clean. Imagine that. I call Mary Jo who is now watching T.V. and ask her if it is clean and she says no.
WTF is going on here? Now my blood is boiling and I let the scream out.

"GET YOUR ASSES IN THE BASEMENT NOW, CLEAN IT LIKE DAD WAS WATCHING YOU AND YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES TO DO IT!"

Guess what, I was done in less then 5 minutes.

Do I just start with the psycho screaming from now on????

A Good Morning for all!

The morning routine at my house went very well today. Everyone got up on the first call and were dressed and at the breakfast table without my veins popping out of my neck from screaming at them... Then it hits me!

The only reason everyone was so happy to get up is because we are going to the Dells tonight for a little get-a-way. We have not had a family vacation all year so this little get-a-way is needed real bad.


I'll post some pictures of all our fun when we get back.

I hope you all have a great weekend and keep it safe!
