I have these flowers in my garden that are going crazy. Last year they were completely normal daisy-like flowers, and this year I'm getting all these funnies popping up. The top picture is one that is just wrapped around itself, the bottom picture is actually about 6 flowers that grew together from one giant stem.
I'm going through a new phase in my life. I call it the "what was I thinking!?" phase, although this phase would also answer to "are you crazy?" and "you must be out of your mind!" I heard a few weeks ago that one of the airlines was hiring, and also heard that there might at some point also be the option of working very few hours and still getting travel benefits. Since I always want to go on vacation, but a vacation's never in the budget, I thought this would be great...this great idea has turned in to an 8:00 pm - 1:30 am shift, 5 days a week, and I still have my 8-5 job Monday-Friday. The good thing is that my shift is during Cooper's bedtime. I don't think I need to point out the bad thing. I'm a little overwhelmed, and tired, and feel like I have no life. I went and met the manager today (because of course he's not around during my shift), and was all ready to say sorry, it's not going to work, but what came out of my mouth was that I'd try and stick it out another month, after which time he said things should be better, and slower, and we'd have more workers and a different schedule and there'd be more flexibility. I don't think things will really be different in a month, and I really wish I would have said no. Apparently when I wish on stars and birthday candles, I should be wishing for a backbone.
