Firestorm over salmon!

Really needed some "tough love" from you all and I thank you for it. But didn't think that talking about the way I made salmon would start an argument! And honestly, to whoever said I was a novice cook or a bad cook, I was following a recipe. I told Karl, the 11-year old that's all I put on the salmon because if he knew all of the ingredients I added, I didn't think he'd try it (which he ended up doing anyway, due to the skin on).

I am a miserable mess.......trying not to cry at work

Only good news I've had in the last couple of weeks is that my breast biopsy was negative. Other than that, it's been a perfect storm of hurt feelings and crap I don't even know where to begin.

BF started working Sat & Sun and will continue for the next 8 weeks. Everything is now on me, as far as grocery, running herd on Karl & Minion, etc. That he now has to work on Sundays, which was the one day a week we had off together was a crushing blow.

Took Morticia, her friend and DD Squiggles to a concert

...and it was a good time!!!! The girls all got along, Morticia actually made an effort with me and vice versa and the music was good. I enjoyed myself so much more than I thought I would. Was actually shocked by how smoothly the evening went - I am so hoping we've turned a corner.

Question - Dinner time

Been so busy at work that I haven't been on here lately. What did I miss? Ha!

Seriously, though. Now that I'm moved in, I've been experimenting with food. We bought a 6-quart slow cooker and last weekend, I made chili. It was so good, but NO ONE in my loser family would even try it. :jawdrop: I ended up bringing it to work for the vultures here so it didn't go to waste.

Feeling down today

Can't pinpoint exactly why I'm depressed today, just am. Since I had a hysterectomy, I no longer have periods, so I don't have a clue when my TOM is. I can tell you that as I learn the dynamic of the house and my place in it, I feel like banging my head against a wall. Told it's my house too, but when I want to change something, well, it's difficult to say the least.

Just feel like crying on-and-off all day today. Ever have one of those?

While We're bestowing MOTY crowns...........

Glory has totally pushed me over the edge. I had very little respect for her to begin with, but cut her some slack, because hey, she did birth 4 children. She proved to me that while she birthed her babies, she is certainly not worth the title "mom".

SD11, Carl, has had a difficult time with her as long as I've been in the picture. Over the summer, her BF, let's call him Herman (after Herman Munster minus the personality), leaves bruises on Carl - she says Carl "threw a fit", tripped and Herman grabbed his arm to break his fall - hence the bruises. Yeah, right..........

O/T Thing 1 update

I have decided to look into seeking other avenues, in case nothing is done about Thing 1. She pushed me over the edge last week. I am constantly told to "take the high road" and "keep keeping things professional". I refuse to leave a job that I've had for nearly 10 years (she's only been here 4 years). 4 years too long, if you ask me.

O/T Thing 1 has lost her damn mind!

Thing 1, my evil and mental co-worker, decided to show her ass again today. Long story short, she's a liar, and trying to make it look like I fucked up. I have email evidence that I did what I was supposed to do prior to a teleconference held last night and verbally told the participants the whole story. She is trying to make it look like a) she didn't see my email (when I sent it 4 hours prior to the meeting) and b) it's all my fault that things got screwed up. Oh, yeah, bitch? You have messed with me far too often for far too long. I'm fighting back now.
