My day started with giving MetLife Auto a hard time....
They had quoted me for a new policy.... The guy that processed the quote last Friday sent me an email requesting my PA Driver's Report to confirm I had been licensed for more than a year.... he then went on vacation.
On Monday, I emailed the information to his coworker as requested.
Monday morning she told me he had actually processed the policy and made it effective at a MUCH HIGHER rate than the quote...she would try to fix it once she received the DMV report.
She never responded to my email.
This morning, I sent her another email requesting a response and stating that I WAS NOT INTERESTED in the policy at a higher rate and told her to cancel BEFORE my payroll deductions happened. (I stressed that I had ONLY agreed to the quoted amount.)
Well.... as soon as I got to work, she called. When she claimed she didn't get my Monday email or report, I quickly stated "But my Delivery Confirmation tells me you DID get my email." She stopped in her tracks and fixed everything.

My day after that was VERY successful and fulfilling.
My meeting with 3 sets of parents concerning their childrens' health care and special needs went VERY well and I even got hugs from one Mom. I was able to help them overcome barriers to getting their children services. I gleaned important information to update the childrens' records; and updated many of their late immunizations. I got one Mom set up with a special Therapist and another family set up with Community Services, Respite Services and Home Care for a child with many special needs. I so remember being in their shoes. Their looks of relief and "I finally have someone to help"...made my day!!!

I organized a luncheon for 20+ people: I'm hosting tomorrow.
Accomplished getting caught in the POURING down rain when leaving a store with arms full of stuff for said luncheon.
Placed the order for everyone's lunch: I WISH the place had told me Catering Platters were available before I had everyone order individually.
I picked up flowers for our little fundraiser during lunch.
Picked up some newborn baby stuff for our new Gramma in the office.

When I finally got home, unloaded car....let Willy out to get all muddy.
I accomplished slipping down the hill and getting soaked to the bone to go feed critters.

Now I got my PJs on and Willy Bear curled up next to me....we're gonna cuddle and get cozy!!

The busy day really kept my mind off my dad, brother and nieces.

getting a B on my midterm :readfineprint: :hamactor:,,but overall in the glass I still got a A..gotta hold onto that !:byebye::byebye:

I learned another scrapbooking embellishment technique that uses a molding paste to create some really wicked faux metal objects and charms....

I had my timing belt go out on the way to work yesterday. So, I got it towed to the house, picked up the part, changed it out. I have not worked on a car in a while, it was nice to know I still got it.

Got the truck towed
Went to work
Helped (some rather bitchy) customers
Got orders pulled and set up for pick up later/delivery
Helped train the new cashiers
Kept the head cashier from having a melt down by taking over when needed
Swept, cleaned counters, sorted mail into appropriate mailboxes
Asked every single customer if they'd like to donate to Muscular Dystrophy Association and sold the whole stack I had before my shift was over
Introduced the boi to my head cashier who was delighted to meet hym
We went and got my truck
Went to Wal-mart
Had subs for dinner and did shopping to get snacks for road trip (water, rice cakes, multigrain pita chips)
Came home and:
- sorted laundry

- cleaned up the kitchen counters and swept
- put away some dishes
- boi did the kitty litter and vacuumed
- trash is ready to go out when we get home sunday night
- cleaned off the coffee table
- packed clothes for this weekend and swapped out purses

I think that's it. It's a wonder I'm still awake, lol :|

so much stuff, it makes me tired just thinking about it all!!!
I MUST play catch up tomorrow morning.
This is the first day I was so busy that I actually had tasks still on my desk when I left. That bugs me. I like everything done before I leave.

Went to a school.
Went to 4 meetings.
Threw candy at people.
Got hit in the temple with a piece of candy thrown at me.
Threatened to sue co-worker for Death by Rolo to the temple.
Did a ton of paperwork.
Had a judge tell me what to do. Happens every Thursday.
Told some middle schoolers to be quiet in court or we'll have a mad judge.
Told some middle school boys to keep their gas to themselves or go to the bathroom.
Pondered that 80+% of my kids are middle schoolers and wondered how I got so lucky.
Called a few people I didn't want to talk to.
Ate leftovers.

Today has been long, for once I got to wake the dog and not the reverse :) that in it’s self is amazing since he rises with the sun.

I think I have won the battle with a migraine that has interloped for the better part of three days!!!

Laundry has been suffering the lack of attention as has the kitchen during all the house painting I have been doing, and since thou counters and there tops will soon be departing for some much needed new ones I have lacked the drive to use them or clean them, but that has been achieved to day certainly.

The green blue that looks devishly smart on my living room walls is not so pretty on the bottom of my sink and has been scrubbed away.

The closet doors have been repainted after finishing the repairs of the damages my sister had implemented in one of her attacks.

I cleaned the windows both inside and outside (picture a grown woman enjoying hanging out the second story of a stack of small condos) and had new screens made for the same windows.

Finished replacing outlets and switches in the front room now to tackle the bedrooms and baths

Scraped off the peeling and sanding off paint and caulk around the shower and replaced (in my mind I am still waiting for this to dry till the morning so I don’t pop out the primmer and brush at this very late hour)

Tomorrow I will have to finish painting the bathrooms, and see if the closet needs a second coating, and finish resurfacing the window ledge in the second bedroom if I can keep the cat out of the sill long enough.
