Please bear with me as I try to catch up on correspondence.
Today is another beautiful day
That last statement has me feeling like such an old lady. I really sound like one, don't I?
Anyway, so I not only don't have access to hotmail, but I also lost the computer I was using in the office since the guy whose desk I had for the last two days decided to come back from vacation. Boo on him. For realz.
I received a ridiculously tedious task today that may very well take me until the day I leave to complete. But that's why I'm here, right? So help I shall. I really can't complain
Oh! On that note, I tried a Zumba class at the gym last night.
Lemme know if you have done/currently take Zumba classes. Do you like it? Does it get easier?
One last thing. Today as I was sitting with my tedious task, one of the younger reservists that's also here came in to ask the admin assistant a question. He prefaced it by saying, "We must be r*tarded, but..." Ugh. Ok. What to do? He was talking about stamping some envelopes and clearly meant that it was a task that anyone should be able to do and he couldn't. So I said, "I'm sure a r*tarded person could do that." He just looked at me with the "huh?" look so I elaborated. It took me a minute to decide if I should or not, but I did. It's still so very uncomfortable for me to do so, but I didn't want him to walk away thinking that I was calling him dumb because he couldn't get the stamp to work and I knew it was quite possible that would be what he received from my statement. I told him that my daughter is developmentally disabled and I find that term offensive. He didn't say anything back and I was a little shaky after I did it. But I did it. So there. Gold star and all that.
And then another guy, a former classmate of mine, came in and was telling me how his 3 month old is 18 lbs. Good grief. I'm not sad about that or anything. It's just a comparison that I'm dealing right now with since he's almost the same size as Playette at almost 2 years old.

Good for you for speaking up. Boo to him for not responding back (and for saying it in the first place!).
Also, an 18 pound three-month-old? Seriously?
Gold Star for you! I agree! That takes guts!!
And really? 18 pounds at 3 months!?! Ruby is now 22 pounds at 2 years - and she's got nice chubby little limbs & a gut. Wow. I hope that 18 lb baby is VERY LONG.
Gold star for you and what's wrong with a giant baby (she asked nervously)? I'm taking the twins in for their 1-year check-up and I know that Caleb is 28 pounds. I'm pretty sure that puts him off the charts and I'm nervous they're going to hand me a Jenny Craig for Babies phamphlet.
Go you!!! Good for you for speaking up! Kira's just now 23 lbs at 2 1/2.
Good job wifey!
Woo hoo! I am so glad you said something. I will think of you the next time I am feeling wimpy and I will try to do likewise. Good job!
You did good, mama. It's so hard and uncomfortable, I know.
