Karma is a fickle bitch

As karma would have it by the time my 23 I was expecting my 2nd child, I was married by then and baby bird was 4 so I was all prepared for another baby, right? Well as karma would have it my body refused to go into to labor on its own so on my 23rd birthday I found my self in the hospital having my labor induced I looked at the Dr. and announced that this baby would be born before the day was over. The Dr. chuckled and say " I doubt that this baby will arrive that quickly. Maybe by tomorrow you will have your bundle of joy." My labor was intense, hubby who had never experienced the joy of birth this being his very first child did not really know what to do with himself other then pace and grin from time to time , and tell me you can do this we will have our baby soon. Baby bird told us that she wanted a brother and a sister just would not do. As the day went on my labor became intense and painful I was only allowed a Demoral pump for pain but every time I went to push the ...

As karma would have it, Ordinary girl I am not. I don't go for the typical Half-Caf, foamy, frothy, Latte,crap-a-chino in the morning. As a matter of fact truth be told I am not a morning person at all. I am hard to get up, I put off getting up until the last possible minute and forget about talking to me. If you do speak to me my answer always come back as a grunt and nothing more. One morning  that comes to mind is the morning in which it seemed that Karma was against me and my ability to have my breakfast of champions..... Diet Soda. I can't help it I love the stuff that is my super shot of caffeine in the morning and I even had my fellow employees trained at my previous place of employment to not speak to me until my glass or should I say barrel of diet soda was half empty. But sadly on this particular morning I no longer worked there so I guess in all fairness I should forgive those who know not they are doing when they try and approach me before I have drank my bre...

I work as a Secretary, but as Karma would have I have a very sexy voice or so I have been told by those who have heard my voice on the phone. But only in Phone world is there anything sexy about me. I stand at a mere 5'3 have lots of "junk in my trunk" and weigh ??,Well that I will not tell you. I am also well endowed or I use to be but that is a story for another day. The first time I met the girls in our main office ( Whom I have only spoken to on the phone and have never laid eyes on before) took one look at me and said " Gee, you really do not look like how your voice sounds." "Thanks, I think." I said. Before we begin let me tell you a little about my job I work in the medical type business, we put aides in to people homes, we provided van ride to old folks, and do other sorts of things in that area. I answer the phone , type, file, do billing , and direct calls , and sometimes answer questions what are well how do I put this STUPID questions. ...

As our 21st wedding Anniversary is fast approaching Sept. 16th to be exact. I wanted to tell you how Karma in all her fickleness played Cupid. So settle in and get ready. I first saw him when I was working at the store that shall not be named I was 17 at the time , there he was all tall and lanky with hair that curled around his ears. I gave him my biggest grin. He .. Ignored me. What gives I wondered. was it the ugly yellow smock I was wearing that my employer required us all to wear I mean granted yellow does not look good on everyone but still. I always smiled at him and his mom whenever they came into the store. I even offered to take their purchase  out  for them but as karma would have it they refused. I was bummed he was so cute. Oh well then I met  someone I was a Sr. in High School by then I was head over heals in love with-M- I was hanging out with -M- and his best bud -J- when low and behold who should come pedaling up on a bike but the one that tall lanky , g...

We all have those weeks, you know the ones where you wish you could push the rewind button or better yet the fast forward button just to get it over with. Well I had one of those and let me tell it really and truly was Karma's weekend...... Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday went by slower than I wanted I it felt as if I was moving in slow motion. Finally Thursday arrived by lunch on Thursday I was so tired I thought well it is close to lunch maybe I just need a sandwich I went to the break room fixed said sandwich but I was too tired to even finish it. I tried to get up and at least clean up my mess but as karma would have it my body said no way , no how stay were you are so I slouched in the chair waiting for the fatigue to pass grabbed my diet soda and made my way back up front to my desk to at least look as if I were working. My throat was a little sore but when you sleep with you month open you can usually expect that , then the aching joints came the knees , shoulder, than all ...

Tomorrow will be my youngest will be 17 tomorrow. This is it my baby the youngest of our family. Where did the time go. This kid is truly Karma's baby in more ways then one. Here is the story of Karma's Baby. I thought it would be easy to conceive my 3rd child I mean after all I got pregnant the 1st time without even trying. Our second child was conceived within the 1st 6 months of our marriage. So this time around it would be easy. Right?  As Karma would have it , It took me a year to conceive our 3rd child. Finally I was expecting we were thrilled , excited this baby would have big sisters. The girls were excited. My oldest daughter's only request "This one better be a boy." She stated this very matter of fact after all she said" She asked for a boy the last time, and did I get one? NO!." "Well I will put that order in for you right away" I told  her. As Karma would have it during the ultrasound the tech turned to me and asked " Would ...

I Mixed vial A with vial B then poured all of it into vial C  I watched the clock tick the minutes slowly by. I waited with baited breath my friend -R- waiting with me. My mind raced...........A little history before I go any further. It was the 80's were hair was big , shoulders wide, and beta max ruled. I was 18 the  world was mine for the taking. I Had just  started  collage. I just knew great things were in store for me. But as Karma would have it the Rabbit died , the stick turned blue (or back then after  10 minutes the vial of liquid turned dark blue) that's right I had a bun in the oven, was expecting, knocked up , with child. I stood there my mouth open. How could this be? I knew who? I knew when? But what was I going to do keep it, give it away . My mind was a jumble with thoughts of what to do. First I had to go to work I was going to be late. Second when to tell the parents? Third ? What to do? I went to work. Called my mom on a ...

What did I do? J says my mom could really use a weekly housekeeper you in? I said "Sure ." She made a call to her friend K , I then had 2 houses to clean. Fast forward to a month later I now had at least 2 houses a day. But as Karma would have it  one of those houses was  the house of fur or a house full of "show " cats. Now first let me say that I myself love my pets a lot of the houses I cleaned had pets and they were usually the ones who warmly greeted me as I entered each home . But this was more then the average person can picture. When I agreed to clean this home I drove out to the home to met with the owner/employer/I don't know what to call them I always thought that customer sounded a little like I was a hooker. Anyway we met "Hello" I say . "Hello." I am Mrs.  _______. " "You will have your regular jobs like doing dishes, making beds, sweeping , dusting , moping" Mrs. _______ " says. "Let me show you around...

So there I was in the middle of a huge store having  a total freak out moment. I don't even know what I bought from said store all I remember is the weekend seemed to go in slow motion. Then come Monday a meeting with the bigwigs  reviled all, that yes indeed the store would close by the end of the year. Really Karma before Christmas. It was like a nightmare. Let me stop a minute and explain working somewhere for 21 years , well if kind of defines you,  makes you feel as if this is who you are I was know as Big Redd to my co-workers who would I be now? Would I be able to find another Job I knew for certain that it would not be in a store maybe this was karma's way of say enough of this store business try something different for a change. But the other part of me the internal part was having  a total melt down, a total panic about how to put   food on the table and pay the bills. We have 3 kids what was I going to do. I had a daughter starting coll...

I worked at the same place for 21 years. A nationally know grocery store chain I started working there when I was 17 , they were like that large quirky extended family that everyone has. They saw me graduate from high school, fall in love , get married, have children , bury my grandparents. This store was who I was, a hard working funny , diet soda loving , sometime grouchy person but we all got along. We worked as a team. I had worked there so long I got to know several customers personally as friends. Until November of 2005. As karma would have it I was on vacation my husband and I were doing some Christmas shopping in the big city of Little Rock, when I spotted a fellow co-worker he said "Hello talk about a small world." What are you doing here?" I told him Christmas shopping . He said "Where have you been all week? Have you heard the big news?" I said " What big news? Are we getting a new boss.? He said " No they are making a big announcement on M...

I was only a few hours old when I had my first run in with karma. I was supposed to be born in my small town . The year was 1967 it was December and I was not due for a few more weeks so on Dec. 23rd my parents decided to run to the next town over for a bit of last minute Christmas shopping. But as Karma would have it my mom went into to labor while shopping. There was no fathers allowed in the delivery room back then, no cutting of the cord by  dear old dad.  Pretty much what you saw on the old t.v. shows were true dads pacing, smoking , napping waiting for the arrival of their bundle of joy. So dad waited, and waited finally a nurse came and told dad  his bundle of joy had arrived. Dad follows the nurse were she goes behind a large glass window know as the nursery. Nurse smiles at dad he smiles back in her arms is a beautiful bundle of joy , a dark, curly haired babe dad smiled , nurse smiled. Then a  different look came over dads face a questioning , puzzled loo...

How you may ask can all this stuff , this crap, this bad Karma happen to one person? It does not happen all day every day. Usually my day is just a regular boring day. No, I do not make this stuff up sometimes I wish I did but then I really would have a boring life. I like to think of these crazy wacky days as adventures.  Sometimes the road of life is a bumpy one, so instead of fighting it I just go with it. We all have days like these where we want to go home and start over but there is no rewind button in life. So why not live it , enjoy it , write about it. So strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.

So I was at the back door getting rained on when I fumbled for my keys and decided the heck with it , I jogged to the front door of the office and tumbled in. At last one small step for me one giant leap for karma at least I was inside and not out in the rain. The rest of the day went without a hitch. Now fast foreward to tuesday around lunch time. I finished my lunch early and decided to do a little on line banking, I got the old handy check register to compare and balance. When what do I spy with my little eye? A -282.00  ?? What IS GOING ON. I sit with my mouth open staring at the blinking cursor how could be. Karma are you playing tricks on my eyes. I quickly scanned the screen . Wait what is that right there. A gas bill I paid 113.00 on the friday before but the screen shows 282.00 I did not pay that much . Quick batman to the checkbook, Yep, right there 113.00. I need to leave work and take care of this, if not I may have to sell a kidney or one of the kids which ever one wil...

How do I know that Karma is a Fickle Bitch? First you have to know me. I am married , Have 3 kids, a 9 to 5 job , Own my own home. Average right? After you read my blog you may not think so. Am I hiding a deep dark secret? or something worse. Now that you know a little about me let me tell you how I know that karma is indeed a fickle bitch   and that she is indeed a woman, a on her cycle , hormonal woman. It all started on a rainy Monday I arrive at work in my mom van. I look out the window of said van and sigh it is Monday after all, and raining. I grab my gear lunch bag, purse, umbrella, diet soda(more about that later) with all that draped and slung across arms and shoulders I am ready to concur the day when before I can get the van door open ..... POOF the umbrella opens in the van. Oh shit I sit there as seconds tick by thinking "What? How? Why? Oh great they will never believe that I am late for work because of my stupid umbrella. It may have taken mere seconds...
