Her name is Lilia Rebekah

Clifford called this morning at 5:00 am our time (10 pm Monday his time).
In his usual style he told us all about the ultra sound and how healthy the baby is etc. until he got to the information we were all waiting to hear. It is a girl and her name is Lilia Rebekah. She is perfectly healthy and normal.
So, my first grandchild will be a girl. Yeah!
Love you all.

The many faces of Me

Okay, please don't think I'm crazy, but I have three "voices" in my head. You know how in cartoons the character has a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other? Well it's kind of like that. But here's where it does get a little crazy. Of late I have started to name them. Here they are:
Debbie: She is the child. She is easily hurt. She also doesn't speak up for herself.
Debra: She is mostly just me. She is kind and generous and smart.
Bea: (I wanted to call this one "B****" but Debra wouldn't let me ;) ) She is mean and sarcastic. She "doesn't care" what others think. She is also very opinionated and judgmental.
Now that I've introduced you to all the the many Me's, what do you think? Am I crazy? Has that train left the station years ago? Or am I just the creative artistic type?
Whatever it is, sometimes it helps me when I tell Bea to "SHUT UP".
Love you all

SO many of these I would LOVE to do

Why is it always me?

I went to a sub job today that I had been prearranged for. Yesterday she trained me how to do some things. I show up and low and behold, someone else had taken the job. The employee that I was subbing for didn't request me, they just sent it out. So someone else picked up the job.
I got there and the secretary said, "I'm sorry, it's her call. She's the one on the list". The person calls while I am standing there and says that she is running late because of traffic. The secretary talks to her and explains the situation. She says "I'm dressed and on my way, I might as well come". WELL I'M DRESSED AND HERE! I wanted to say that but I didn't. I said "No problem, call me anytime", and gave them my card with numbers on it.
But here is the thing that REALLY chaps me: A while back the same thing happened to me, except I was the one whose name was on the list. Guess what! Yeah, I had to go home.
This whole thing really ticks me off.
The other thing is that yesterday I left some things there that I'm going to have to go back for sometime today (I didn't remember until after I left).
Hope things are going better for you.
