IN A FUNK
It is -4 c/ 24 F here this a.m. and there is frost everywhere. The leaves are falling and swirling like snow. Or at least I hope it’s leaves!! I doubt if much of my remaining flowers made it through this frost. Sigh.... have to wait for next year to see their lovely colors. Yesterday I woke up in a really good mood, did journals and other stuff and within 6 hours I went from fantastic to total funk... depressed, tears, anger... the whole enchilada!! Why?? I should be on top of the world I leave for the cruise in 5 days. As long as I have had this damn disorder, you’d think I’d have it all figured out. And usually I do very well and then it comes and bites me in the ass just to let me know who’s really in charge. Still down this a.m.. Thankfully I don’t have the boys today. But I do go to clean a lady’s house at noon.This is the second week there and I hope to heaven’s it’s not like last week. Looked lie a bomb blew up. I had to clear off every surface to be cleaned before I could clean...papers, wrappers, candy, toys etc. everywhere. I almost had to run to get through the cleaning and it took almost 4 hours. I was exhausted. I won’t be doing that again. If it takes longer at a reasonable pace then she’ll have to pay. If she doesn’t like the cost then she will either have to 1. Tidy up 2.give me a time limit of let’s say 3 hours and what I get done I get done or 3. Find somebody else. Oh, and then to top everything off, now I hope you don’t think I’m being petty, but when I met with her before I did the cleaning to go through the house we discussed a payment plan. I want to be paid every week in cash or cheque. We agreed that I would leave a note after my work on Monday sating the time and cost. She would put this in an envelope for me to pick up Tuesday morning. Then when I am cleaning on Monday the hubby approached me and said that they did not get paid until Wed. So would it be alright to leave the money on Thursday morning. I agreed. Anyway, when I picked up the money on Thursday it was short $5.00. They wrote that they did not have any small bills and would put it in this week. Well, I’m sorry but... they knew the cost on Monday and this is now Thursday!! Anyway, it just kinda ticked me off. So we will have to see how this job works out.Anyway, I’m going to close now and do a few things here if... I have the motivation. Please, say a little prayer for me that this funk goes as fast as it came. Debbie

Debbie just be firm with these people. People like to cheat each other if they cna. Good luck today. Look forward to ward trip and stay postivie. God bless you through our the weeek. I will give you womething to smile about. My little 6 year old grandson was helping the plumper yesterday and for him helping to turn the bathtub and shower water on his grandpa paid him a $1.00 for his help. He is learning young.I\'m very proud of my little grandson he is learning young not to be lazy. Big Monday hugs!!!!!!!!!Suzanne
Don\'t you hate it when you are on a roll and that damn bp tries to show whose boss. Hang in there you will start feeling better soon. You sure were colder than us last night. We were 42F, which is not good but not as bad as you. I will finish my yard today. Thanks to you I did do some Halloween decor. It looks o.k. not as cute as yours.
I would definetily let your lady you clean for you were not happy with her paying arrangement. When I baby-sit the elderly lady\'s I get paid that night and she tips me. I make good money from her or I would not do it, the hours stink, 10:00pm till 2:00-3:00am. I kind of sub when her regular sitter can\'t come.
This is weird. I was yahooing with my daughter and I was downloading google talk, I had the headphones on listening to music from my cumputer jutebox and when you journaled it popped up in the bottom corner
\"Slippery Slope has entered a journal. I never saw that before. Might be because when my daughter was here yesterday she was fooling around with my puter and she is a tech geek. Or could be a ds thingy. Well I hope your week shapes up and I will pray for you and think of you too. Naomi xo
Oh Deb, that has to be so hard to deal with everyday. I may deal with pain everyday but your BP has to be so much harder to deal with. I hope this funk passes today.
I hope this pay check thing works itself out. I got burned once like that when babysetting. Never did get it and it was for over a hundred they owed me. Really pissed me off I\'ll tell ya!!
I hope things turn around and you end up having a good day.
Take care,
hugs, Cathy
im so sorry that your feeling in a funk right now...the only good thing is that it wont be lasting too long...you do have the trip to look forward to, plenty to see and experience! take good care and i hope that you feel better soon!
Oh, oh, they don\'t sound like the real reliable type, hope I\'m wrong but starting off like that just doesn\'t bode well IMO.
Hey, we\'re the same temperature this morning, the deck sure was slippery in the frosty areas. Not sure what the weather is going to do and I\'m to busy to worry about it, maybe in a few days I\'ll be more organized or something, yeah right;>)
Feel better soon! Will say a little prayer for you today.
Hugs...
