Yes, It was a Monday!!! (Black Bean and Corn Enchiladas, Spanish Rice)

Yesterday I tried sneaking into the Super T to do my grocery shopping,  was sort of in a hurry and really just wasn't in the mood to see/talk to anyone I knew..  so I park on grocery side,  something I NEVER do and walk through the grocery doors,  wham run right into Bill..  nice,  so he says,  we need you to decorate a cake tomorrow..  I was like Bill,  I haven't tried to decorate anything in over a year and a half.. I don't know if I can do it..  so I went and looked at the cake..  no way.. very intricate checkerboard design that I wasn't going to half-ass try to do,  mess up and then it be on my head..  plus I am stretched so thin right now at work it isn't funny..  seems I am never in one spot long enough to make any kind of impact.. I can't ever get cosmetics finished on Mondays and Fridays in 3 hours..  plus dealing with guest.. which I had one today that totally freaked me out,  then later pissed me off.. she couldn't see well,  just shapes.. but she was alone in the store.. does that mean she drove??  anyway.. she wanted the most natural and best face firming cream,  and my thought was lady,  if you are just starting, then you are a little late.. but anyway,  so I showed her the Boots line,  great products,  hear nothing but good things about them..  I have to read every single ingredient in every product she is interested in because remember,  she can't see..  so finally I rid myself of her,  not sure what she was getting because I had to go to lunch.. at 2:15 when I was getting ready to leave and took my defective merchandise(do you know when you open and rub lipstick on the back of your hand to see if you like it that someone has to pull that off and we have to damage it out and throw it away?)up to guest services. There is my sweet TabbyLoo defecting all this Boots makeup out and I look at her and say.. "what did the heifer look like??"  She was like, "huh??"  I said.. "did she have sunglasses?" and she said "yeah"  The woman got the crap home and called their 1-800 number and asked if it would clog her pores and they answered,  well yes,  it could..  HELLO LADY.. everything you put on your face could clog your pores..   grrrr..  so all that had to be tossed..   what a freaking waste..   one hundred and forty three dollars worth of good product tossed into the trash..  so frustrating.. 
So before I went off on my little tangent I was talking about being stretched thin at work..   Mondays and Fridays I go in at 6am and push the hanging product for softlines(clothing and apparel) then transition over to cosmetics around 10 to 10:30 depending on if we finish,  then I try to get it done in basically 3 hours because I have lunch and a 15 minute break,  plus guest first, dealing with crazy people, statusing with Team Leads and Execs, etc..  Tuesdays I am in Jewelry and Accessories which is always such a hot mess..  I love it,  but it gets stressful because no one runs my strays, zones or basically does anything in those two depts..   Thursdays I get to do research in Jewelry which entails me finding all my product and putting it out where it is supposed to go,  scanning any outs and seeing if there are any counts and zeroing out the counts..  plus usually covering operator breaks and lunch, phone calls, guest first, etc..   I LOVE my job.. then weekends I basically run around like a crazy person all over the store wherever they need me.. :) 
I got home today,  totally exhausted,  rested for a few minutes,  talked to my girls and then showered,  took Boo to work, came home and took a 30 minute cat-nap with Avril and then went into the kitchen to cook dinner,  brand new recipe and it is definitely a keeper.. It is so good..  and I was good and remembered to take pics..  YaY Me!!!  lol

Avril trying to check out what "Grandma" is making for dinner,  Dylan just willing to clean up the floor!!
