Oh, man, brenda. Parents!

I'm having chicky-chicky-parm-parm for lunch. I might be more excited about having the opportunity to say that than actually eating it.

I just watched that episode a couple of days ago. It's good for my mental health.

Limited internet rules coming to our home. E had his therapy today. He failed to do any of the things he promised us he would do 2 weeks ago. We start Sunday night with 10pm internet off.

Brenda, you have my sympathies.

Good luck with that, msbelle. I hope this summer treats you better than it seems like it might.

Therapist went over rules with him alone so it wasn't coming from me. We shall see. I just happy for rules again. Clearly defined, easily enforceable rules.

Our wings are not tired.

Mac, trust me on this, it is easiest to just follow the damn rules. Hope he gets this one quicker than mine.

If not, then nothing really changes for me, I just get faster internet for myself since he won't be using it. His contribution to the household could not get any worse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oy, Rebecca.

Totally different family oy, brenda.

On my day off, I bought makeup and went for a long walk, and now I'm lying on the hammock with a full face of makeup. As one does.

Ok. Just got off the phone with my boss. First both he and his boss wanted to see if I was looking to leave the group. I guess getting a Project Management degree threw them. Our project managers actually get paid a bit less than project controls folks. I explained that I wanted the broader view and understanding of Project Management so I can supplement my current skill set and advance within our group.

Anyway, they both support a raise and grade change. Now that they understand my intentions better, they will start the process. And approve my tuition reimbursement request. So - it is happeneing, not sure when or how much...but progress. WOOT!!! Good news on a Friday.

Bonus - K-Bug and I are going to see Beauty and the Beast on stage tonight. I've never seen the stage version before.
