I have known for some time that Dessa is going to be my problem child. I am just getting tired of something new whenever I turn around.
Mom caught her on an inappropriate website last week and had Dad check out the history, afraid she had been on other sites. Well, he called last night and it is worse than I thought.
Granted, it was only one day, for about an hour, that she was looking at this stuff. But from what Dad said, it was pretty hard core sex stuff. I'm pretty sure she probably stumbled on it by mistake. What's disturbing is that she kept looking at the stuff and so more stuff kept popping up.
When I asked her about it this morning, she said she can't remember any of it. That is her excuse every time she is in trouble. I hate to not believe her, but really, I don't. How can she not remember something like that? I don't want to push it, but I will be talking to her counselor about it. I am also going to be going through every movie we have and if I think it is the least bit problematic, it will be gone.

Forceful Dreams
A little background...next to my bed sits a garbage can. On top of that garbage can is a box that acts as a sort of night stand. When I went to bed last night, it had a box of tissues with the book The Work and the Glory #2 sitting on it and a few pieces of a large chocolate candy bar on top of the book, 2 cups of water (one for last night and the one from the night before), an empty cup, my tv remote, my glasses, and some miscellaneous trash (ok, it's stupid, but I don't have a trash bag in the can at the moment, so the empty wrappers and such sit on the box waiting for me to get one). Oh, and my phone is there also.
I am dreaming last night, and in my dream, I go to push someone down as they are leaning over. I sort of fall with them.
I then wake up with my hands against the box, and water spilling all over. It takes me a little bit to realize what the dripping sound is. Then I see that the tissue box, book, and chocolate have landed in the box of shoes on the other side of the garbage can. That box is now filling with water and the tissues and book are getting soaked. In my weird state of mind, I grope around for the 4 pieces of chocolate that I can see are at the very bottom of the box. Funny how that is what I think to save.
I put a piece of the slightly damp chocolate in my mouth, then look and see if I can find my phone and glasses. I find the phone and the remote on the floor, a little wet but not too bad. I grope around for the glasses and can't find them, so I flop on the bed in despair. I must go turn on the light.
So, I stumble to the light switch across the room. I find my glasses under the bed and put them back on the box. I see that the two cups are laying on their side, with all the water either soaking into the lid of the box or falling off the sides. I can still hear some dripping into the can.
I briefly think about cleaning it all up. Then I reconsider, turn off the light, and snuggle back under my blanket. I go back to sleep and have more equally strange dreams and wake up completely exhausted.
I will have to put that garbage can liner in today, after I dry out the can.

Auditors
I have been working this past week on getting information together to make sure the coming audit would go smoothly. I have laughed at how stressed one of my managers is acting, thinking it is no big deal.
Well, Mr. Auditor just came and asked me about the lease files. Ummm...Ok. I should know what is in there, where it goes, why it is there, and what exactly goes in there. However, I was not able to answer most of his questions. I told him what I have done with the files since I have been here, but the file in question is for a large corporation that I have no problems with, so I have not even touched the file.
Now the heartburn is kicking in. Why would I be nervous about this? Big deal. I am just afraid of what he will or won't find and that I am responsible. Hope it comes out ok. It is a very stressful thing to make sure everything is in perfect order.

Urges
Maybe I am insane. A little weird for sure.
Every time I walk by a fire alarm pull station, I get the urge to pull it and run. How bizarre is that? I have to walk by 3 of them to get to and from my car every day at work, and each time I think it would be fun to pull them.
Of course, I can't run that fast, so that wouldn't work. And most of them are monitered by cameras, so that would be bad.
I wonder, if I knew I wouldn't be caught, would I really do it? The temptation is strong.

Never a dull moment
I used to complain that my life was boring. Not lately. In fact, I am wishing for some boringness right about now.
In the past few weeks, I have had 2 ex-grandparent-in-laws pass away, a new nephew born in another state, my parents leave to visit nephew leaving me without childcare, my children's uncle arrested on the first day with alternate childcare, my parents come home with the news that mom was having a medical problem that would require surgery, news that my children's father would be leaving the next day for Louisiana for a minimum of 3 months but most likely a year or more, along with being very busy at work and helping to renovate/decorate my new house. Did I forget anything?
Oh, I can add in the side dramas, such as a pregnant ex-sister in law, another pregnant ex-sister in law who is ready to deliver any moment - hopefully while her deployed husband is home on leave for the next two weeks, an ex-brother in law getting divorced and his new relationship issues, the arrested ex-brother in law is most likely getting deployed - not to mention his pregnant wife and all of their issues, my kids ending the school year and scrambling to work out summer child care, waiting for my tax incentive to come so I can really fix some things in the new house, getting acquainted with our new ward/neighborhood, getting the kids registered into their new schools, and doing all this with an almost constant headache.
And my schedule for the next few weeks looks like this: tomorrow I am assisting at our company's golf tournament from 5 a.m. to around 8 p.m.ish, I am supposed to go to my sister's opening night of Annie tomorrow night if I get home in time, same sister and her husband are going through the temple on Saturday, mom's surgery on Monday as well as the girls' counseling sessions, a Relief Society picnic on Tuesday where I am expected to teach them to make a fruit wrap I have never myself made, a work party on Friday that I have to attend because one of my bosses is helping with it, Annee is helping at a friend's daughter's wedding on Sat the 12th, Jessica and Wil getting sealed on the 19th, and...I can't remember, but I know there is something else coming up.
I want to stop the world and get off...for a month or so would be great!
