UGH Keira was up ALL NIGHT Yes ALL…
UGH! Keira was up ALL NIGHT!
Yes, ALL NIGHT. Ok, maybe not All night – she woke up at 2am-ish and we’re still awake. This is what we get for taking her out in the sun all day, feeding her junk, spending her college fund on bounce house tickets and letting her swim for an hour before dinner. The more she does, the less she sleeps!

EDee Bruns
Why is it so hard for people to LISTEN to the words you say and NOT ASSUME what you mean?
about an hour ago ·
Jessica Rooth Aguilar I hear ya sista, I ALWAYS seem to have that problem! Crap, people always think there is some sort of hidden meaning! I hate that!!! Hate it! Hate it! Hate it! whew, that felt good lol

EDee Bruns My favorite is when someone listens to the first few words I say THEN assume what I really mean. WHY?!?!?!
Then when I say “Take Me Literally” they look at me like they did!

Tom Gilmore I know you believe you understand what you think
I just said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you
just heard is not what I really meant.

Jessica Rooth Aguilar Ah HA! Tom, I think I have said that b4 in my life lol. Edee, I know it goes hand in hand, wtf!

EDee Bruns Yup. Then there is the “Now you’re back tracking. You said blah blah blah.”
Yes, that’s what I said and I meant THOSE very words – NOT the hidden meaning you seem to think is in there.
After a while they’re having an argument with themselves!

Keira WAS finally sleeping through the night. We gave her the Melatonin hoping it would help in getting her to go to sleep a little faster/earlier. We were awake for 2 weeks straight! We will NEVER give that to Keira again!

EDee Bruns I think because they are having fun while we are still worrying about the bills, if they are getting enough water, the last time everyone pee’d, if we’re going to need to use the public bathroom, what time is it, is there anything here they will/can eat, did I forget to take something out of the freezer for dinner, now I have to pee, no you can’t have everything you see, stop touching that, we look with our eye’s on our hands, get that out of your mouth, because I said so, yes we can do all those things, but we have to do them one at a time ……….

Clients From Hell The conversation was extremely pleasant…
Clients From Hell!
The conversation was extremely pleasant up until I said this:
Me (Phone Support): I see the problem Sir. This is an easy fix, you have the device plugged into the printer port, you need to plug it into the Com Port using the cable provided and then we can test it.
Client yelling: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! This is absurd. Give me ONE GOOD REASON, JUST ONE, WHY I CAN’T PLUG THIS INTO THE PRINTER PORT!?!?!
Me (Phone Support): It’s not a printer.
Client Yelling continued.
——————————
Me (Phone Support): Sir, I can help you with that. You need to remove cable A from slot B and put the cable in slot A. Then do the same with cable B. And you’ll be all set. If you can do this now, I’ll test it.
Client: Loud Sigh. I can’t do that. People kept tripping over the cables so I Super Glued them into the machine. Do you think that will void my warranty?
——————————-
Client: The machine is broken, but before we return it can you tell me how to get the quarters out of it.
Me (Phone Support): The Quarters Sir?
Client: Yes, we have the “Pay Per Page” machine.
Me (Phone Support): Sir, we don’t make a “Pay Per Page” machine.
Client: Then what is this slot for in the top?
Me (Phone Support): Your finger. That’s how you open the machine.
Client: So the machine isn’t broken?
Me (Phone Support): That can only be determined after you remove the spare change from your machine.
Client (chuckles softly): That kinda brings us full circle, doesn’t it?

Dear President Obama & Mr. Boehner,
I have a solution to your problem. Pack up Congress, head to the nearest military base and board the first transport to the middle of Afghanistan. You will stay there, live together in tents, no A/C, eat rations and have NO CONTACT with the USA until you learn to play NICE and fix this problem.
YOU WORK FOR US!! GET IT DONE!
Sincerely, a loyal American,

Shocked the Hell out of Riley yesterday.
Told her she was a big girl, she knows what to eat and when. There is no reason why she has to ask for a cookie or piece of fruit. If she wants something to eat, go get it. She’s a smart girl and I trust her. Also put the fear of God into her just in case she gets any ideas to misuse that trust!
Congressional Reform Act Thanks Tom Gilmore 1 No…
Congressional Reform Act
(Thanks Tom Gilmore)
1. No Tenure / No Pension – A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security – All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12.
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
