< Insert Witty Title Here >
June 12th, 2009
The Workplace drama is continuing to drain away my will to live unfold. Gerald and I had a State of the Union meeting on Wednesday night trying to decide what’s best for our family. The problem is that nothing seems to be best. Everything has pros and cons… I guess we need to figure out which pros we aren’t willing to live without and which cons we can deal with.
Maddie’s debut as a flowergirl last weekend went off without a hitch. She did exactly what she was supposed to do and charmed everyone. She totally gets that from me, you know.
Speaking of Maddie, she’s got Scarlet Fever. WTF? I always thought that was an old timey thing like Consumption or whatev. She’s doped up on ibuprofen for the double ear infection and sore throat, Benadryl for the itchy rash and Amoxicillan for the cooties. We’re watching more TV than we ought to and she’s whining more than I care for, but we’re surviving. (Speaking of toddler TV, what is it with Wubbzy? My kid loves that damn show more than she loves me. If our house was on fire and she had to choose between saving me or Wubbzy, she’d use me a step to reach Wubbzy.)
I find it ironic that as BlogHer gets closer, I’m blogging less and less. (I feel like I owe you an explanation or an excuse, but I don’t. Not really, right? I mean, I write when I write and you read when you read. We’re cool like that.) Anyhow, back to BlogHer. There’s local meetup this weekend for pre-BlogHer socializing. I’m planning on going, but if I wake up that morning with a raging case of Awk, forget it. I’m already nervous enough about meeting you guys, I don’t need the added stress of wondering whether or not the other bloggers are telling you exactly how Awk I was at the meetup. I’d prefer to spring the Awk on you when you’re all liquored up at the cocktail party. That way your recollection of having met me will be fuzzy at best and you’ll think I was perfectly charming.
Probably I’ve put WAY to much thought into this, right?

Good luck on getting through the workplace drama and sorry about Scarlet Fever! Yikes!!
I am so dying to know what’s going on at your workplace. It does not sound fun, whatever it is. Hope you’re able to figure out what decision will work best for your family!
I hope you guys figure out exactly what you need to do so that your mind can be at ease. I really hate ‘limbo time’. When are you getting into Chicago? There is a preblogHer luncheon on Thursday that a bunch of us are going to. Are you on FB, I can send you the deets.
My kid loves Wubzy too. I find them to be gender confused but it’s better than Dora.
Scarlett Fever? You’re right, that’s right up there with having a case of the vapours and consumption and all that. Sheesh! Hope she gets better soon. Glad she did well at the wedding, how very cute!
Good luck with the work thing, I know how rough that can be.
And you’re pretty funny on the BlogHer thing, not wanting to show your “awk” unless people are inebriated, ahahaha!
Oh what a mess! I sure hope things start looking up soon at work.
I remember one of my sisters being diagnosed with Scarlett Fever. I was completely freaked out, because that was what you got when you lived in the Little House on the Prairie days. She was totally fine, BTW.
Listen to me: you WILL be attending parties.
And I will be (as I always am) butt-ass-sober and I will remember EVERYTHING and it will be GREAT.
There’s not enough Awk in the world to deter me…
MWAAAHAHAHAHAAAA!
