Mental Health Monday - A brief View

My morning thus far....

First thought after waking up is...CRAP! I am out of coffee! Dang it! So I proceed to get ready with no caffeine in my system. Eeek scary! I round up the kiddos, grab my purse, and my keys.....Wait! Um no keys. Ok no big deal. Look in the usual places. On all countertops, tables, and inside the fridge. No, no and no. Well crap on toast. My youngest had to have taken off with them. She is notorious for that. She likes to put them in her purses. Ok so I ask her after 30 min of frantic searching for my car keys.

"Baby did you touch Mommy's car keys?"

her answer is "No Mommy I know better."

Riiiiiiiiiight sure she does.
So 5 min after that she pipes up with "Mommy if you can't find your keys, I get to stay home with you? Right?"

I respond in a non-angry voice, really I was calm! "No baby, Mommy HAS to go to work so that I can make Money. If I can't find my keys, I will call a cab so we can get to work and school."

Her little face falls. "Oh, OK, Mommy."

So I continue searching for the keys for another 5 minutes. When the search leads me to another room. Empty handed I returned to my purse, because, maybe just maybe after 20 times of dumping it out. The magic key fairy will have visited and deposited my keys back where they belong. In my purse. So low and behold the magic key fairy did come. But in the form of my 4 yr old. She set then right next to my purse while I was in the other room.

So I tell her "Liliana, do not play with Mommy's keys. We will have plenty of time to stay home together in 2 weeks."

"OK, Mommy, I found them under the couch." Right.

Because I turned the couch over, I know darn well there were no stinking keys under there. If there was I would have found them along with my remote to my TV that I lost over 8 months ago. So the search was not in vain. The good thing is that after so long looking for lost keys, my mad had wore off so I was only slightly amused and not at all angry. But you can bet your ass that my purse is now going to go on the highest shelf with the biggest lock and alarm system I can find!

I am driving to work. 30 minutes late. I am behind a shiny brand new Jag, in my beat up Toyota Corolla. I bet he doesnt have to worry about job hunting during the Holidays. And man this guy just can't drive. He stops as green lights and guns it on Yellow ones. Wow. I mean you are smart enough to make a good enough living to afford a Jag. But apparently common sense was not required because you drive like a 10 year old. lol Its fun to laugh at stupid rich people. Makes me smile.

Thankfully after his last time of gunning it through an Orange light. I stop so that I do not have to be behind him any longer. I happen to look up. Because dude its a red light. I have a minute to take in the sights. lol I see one of those banners that stretch across the road way. It reads "Heirloom Appraisal" In big red letters, slight below it is reads in black "Friday, Saturday and Sunday"....keep reading.....it says in big yellow letters "Held at the Lighthouse for the Blind"....sooooooo. How exactly is the Lighthouse for the blind going to Appraise your Heirlooms? By touch? LOL Ya I bet they are REALLY accurate. LMFAO!!!! I think I will go just to see how accurate they really are. lol

Get to work and since I am out of coffee at home. I just want a cup of coffee. Mmmmm caffeine. Wait for it. Wait for it. Ya you guessed it. There was only enough left for half a cup and it was cold. Phew today is crappy. But with my twisted sense of humor. I keep laughing. I swear everyone in my office is convince that I am a loony toon. I should have called in sick today for a Mental Health Day. Not my Mental Health. But for everyone else's Mental Health. lol
