Boredom

So today is dragging on FOREVER! I got next to NO sleep last night. Work is really slow...typically when I come back back from my hour lunch, I have LOTS of emails and a few voicemails...today I had none! I went to lunch with two of my co-workers and made the mistake of drinking a beer which has now made me want a nap. At lunch we discussed several things...one of which was politics. I am still unclear about who I am voting for this fall. I had made up my mind but now I am starting to flip back and forth. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Soooo...I'm excited to work this weekend. Jordan will be out of town for the majority of the weekend so he won't be distracting me. =) My second job can be a little stressful but most of the time I have some great stories to tell. I am a crisis manager for a company that provides 24 hour care to teens/adults with physical and mental disabilities. Most of the clients are high functioning with personality disorders and such. We do have some crazy clients though. My favorite was last weekend...I got a call on the emergency phone regarding one of the new clients that had left the home without permission. There was only one staff member working so she could not leave the other clients to follow the client. I went to find the client and found that he was in a motorized wheelchair. Well, the wheelchair would not fold down so I couldn't put it in my car so I had to drive 5 mph behind the client to make sure that he went home. We ran into a few detours on the way but eventually made it back to his house. I wish I had had a videotape to record this situation because it was actually quite humorous. I think I'm going to start taking one of our clients to church. She is LDS but her family wants staff to take her instead of them. I figure why not get paid to go to church? Haha...I'm definitely going to hell. I'm a little nervous to take her because she has been known to yell out words like "pornography" during the meetings. I'm sure I will have some good stories to tell. Anyway, I really need to make some cash and fast so that I can hurry up and pay off some of my bills. I would really like to take a trip to Mexico with the girls in the near future...that will of course require some money and a lot more than the last trip. (15 hour drive vs. 5 hour drive)
I am very excited for my trip to AZ next month. I miss my kids like crazy and I can not wait to spend time with my girlies. The heat is probably going to kill me since I have been living in freaking amazing weather the past 4 months but none the less it will be amazing because I will be surrounded by my faves!
