Peek-A-Boo! I See You!

Published by oldwestmom at 9:59 pm under Random Edit This

Where’d she go???

Is she on vacation???

Was she committed to the funny farm???

Did she road rage finally get the best of her and did she finally veer her car into that damned cell phone user not paying any attention???

No, no, no.  None of these things.  I’m not in need of bail, or a straight jacket, or even a valium.  Wait…actually I’d take a valium (if you’ve got one to spare).  

And DON’T I WISH I was on vacation.

Actually, I’m just 2 days away from an involuntary and unpaid week off from work.  You know, bad economy and all, and corporate has mandated we all take one for the team, to save others from permanently losing their jobs.

Because I’m such a team player, I am looking forward to it!  Well, selfishly I’m also anticipating it because legally THEY CANNOT CONTACT ME IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.  No calls…no emails…no on-call nonsense…

Aside from the whole no week’s pay thing, this may be the closest thing I will come to actually relaxing in a long, long, LONG time.

Anyway, I’ve just been really busy getting ready for that and trying to keep up with the influx of business at work.  I haven’t had time to do much writing, except for leaving a few comments and keeping up with my E cards.

I’ll catch up and get back on schedule.  In the meantime, thanks for checking back, and more to come soon.

By the way, in regards to the story in my previous post (in case you were wondering), Baby Jane Doe’s mother came forward and claimed the girl.  Whew!  I’ll touch on that more later.

You can also check the comments on my previous post.  A commentor was kind enough to post part of the story in those comments.

p.s.

I went to add a picture to my post (I love pics), and went to Google images and did a search for peek a boo.  Silly, naive little me.  Let’s just say none of those pics were appropriate for my blog.  Whoa boobies!!!!!

So we’re going pic free in this blog.  I’m a little rattled, and possibly scarred for life.  Surprised

    Hey, glad to know you’re busy and not incapacitated.

    Vacations are more fun WITH pay, but it’s always nice to know you’ll be going back. Take care and enjoy your enforced vacation.

    Making a mental note, never google peek-a-boo images. lol. Hope you have a wonderful mandatory vacation.

    Thanks all! I am counting down. I don’t think I’ve ever even been this excited for a REAL vacation, because even then I’ve always known I would always be in contact via cell, email, and VPN. I can’t even tell you how surreal this feels to know I’ll be back in a week, but I will have no contact with them until then.

    I feel like I’m being sent to a desert island or something.
