I am so terrible at updating

Okay so its been forever and a day since I've written any kind of post here so I'm going to attempt to describe to you whats been happening in my life lately. I'm warning you now this might be rather boring. Anyway, Thursday was my last day of work for four whole days, I was so excited to have that time off. Discovering of course that I have 5 days left of vacation to use and I can't use them in December I had to take advantage as much as possible. Now lets go back to Monday when I asked for the time off, my boss asked me how many days I had left to use... of course I said I have a whole week left! But the response I was looking for was not received instead she proceeds to ask me how thats possible, me taken aback think... 'ummm cause I have three weeks vacation and I've only used two of it'. My boss runs to talk to her boss about the whole thing and they both come back saying that I only get two weeks vacation but I was surely allowed to have a long weekend since there was a mix up. I should feel greatfull right?? WRONG. I was in a flurry trying to find out if I was mistaken that in my contract it had stated I get 3 weeks or not. Of course upon further examination my contract is no where to be found in the office. As soon as I got home I got out my copy and there in plain english it stated thus.


'There will be three (3) weeks paid vacation allotted to the employee'


HA! I told you I had three weeks its even written out! So with this knowledge in hand I told the necessary sources and my days were taken. Although I'm missing out on three days due to the no vacation in December rule... *sigh* oh well I'll know better next year. Anyway, thursday came and I was dying to go home, praying for sleep and relished in my late morning on Friday. I woke up, did my usual getting ready routine and headed out the door to pick up K macka for a day full of shopping in the city. Got my Christmas shopping done! Well really I have the bfs Dad left to buy for and then I have stocking stuffers but thats easy the hard part is all over with. Yay!
Satruday was an early morning and devoted to moving my grandfather and my aunt into their new homes, my grandpa has moved in with my parents and my aunt is now residing in an apartment on the other side of town, Lets just say it was a huge U-Haul truck and took 6 of us 5 hours to move it all. It was nuts. Sunday was another early morning devoted to family, the bf and I watched one of my younger cousins hockey games at the rink and then went out for brunch with my cousin and uncle on my uncles tab, gotsta love my family. Then my other cousin came over from a curling tournament he was in to hang out with us till his next game 7 hours later hahaha. It was fun though. My aunt and cousin came over to pick my other cousin up and take him to his game and by that time I was zonked. Monday was devoted to me and errands, but I got to sleep in. I love sleeping in. Come on weekend!
