I HATE Needles!

-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the second time around, I'm bearing the bruise inflicted by [to my opinion] an incompetent person. I posted in December how I got bruised because a phlebotomist couldn't find a vein to draw blood from. I thought she was the worst at that time. Boy was I wrong...

Yesterday, I went for another round of blood tests. Same place that I go to everytime. At first I was happy because I didn't get the same person that drew my blood the last time I was there in December. My happiness didn't last long. This guy [yes, a guy] is worse than the other girl. He felt for a 'good vein' in both arms then went for the right arm. As always I wasn't looking while he was drawing blood. I got a bit restless because it was taking him longer than the norm so I looked over only to see him discarding the blood drawn from my right arm. WHY???? He said the blood stopped flowing and it wasn't enough to use for even one test. Buset! I almost bolted out of there but I kept my cool. He poked the left arm and drew the blood needed for the test. Needless to say I wasn't a happy camper when I left the facility. A patient/customer joked while I was on my way out and said: Tell them poking both arms isn't fair! I just smiled but I almost went back in to tell the dang phlebotomist what that guy said....

I hate NEEDLES! This is why...

You Belong With Me...Little One's Version

-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the little one singing with the new Taylor Swift song called: You Belong with Me ... acapella She's a big TS fan right now so that's all I'm hearing around the house lately. The little one's video is far from perfect but I'm a proud Mama. She recorded this all on her own so pardon the little 'booboos/mistakes' she made while recording/singing. Enjoy! If you're not familiar with the song, here's the link to the official video .

Paid Blogging....

 ...is that still even a thing today? I stopped blogging actively several years ago...so now I'm like starting all over again.  I don't even know what to post anymore. A lot has changed since I started this blog in 2008. Yep, that's how long ago it's been. Back then I just wanted to write whatever. I was already a WAHM - Work at Home Mom when I started this blog and that's how my blog title came about. I started doing work-at-home jobs as early as 2002. I had a handful of different jobs I was juggling at that time so blogging was just really something I did during my free time. After a while I did paid blogging. I did that for a few years. I tried to do it as much as I could but my 'real' jobs had to be my priority so my blogging had to take a back seat. In retrospect, that may be the reason why I slowly lost interest in doing it. I tried going back to it every now and then, but the 'mojo' is just not there so I stopped altogether but opted to keep m...
