Sunday.
I went to breakfast with my man and Lennon, it was delicious. We spent time with his mom and dad and then I went home and got ready for work. Then....all of a sudden I had a meltdown. A serious, nervous breakdown kind of meltdown. An "I need my mommy now", (insert sobbing and whining) kind of meltdown. It was terrible. So I did what any grown adult would do... Call my mommy and call into work. I left my house with no purse, just keys and a phone and headed to my moms. I called my boss and told her about not coming in and let's just say, she was not happy with me. So, I spent quality time with my mom and I cleared my mind. Thank you, mom for everything. You're my hero. 1 more negative point on my attendance... Whatever.
Monday.
Work sucked. I had SO much to do since I wasn't there Sunday. I had sent an email to my VP about meeting with him this coming week for a raise and Monday was the day. I was nervous but confident. I went in, presented my case of a well-deserving raise and be said NO. Now, I've never asked for a raise its always just happened. So, I was inexperienced but inward confident and I had a good point - or five million good points. Still said NO and gave me the run around. Holding my head high I shook his hand, thanked him for his time and assured him I would be meeting with him again in 6 months. Happy-Effing-Monday! Then, I found out some more bad news... Which lead me into today.
Tuesday.
Well, I emailed my VP again today and asked to meet with him about the bad news I found out yesterday after my 1st meeting. I was absolutely sure he would change his mind today and give me what was deserved. Again, I presented my case and we literally argued for what seemed like an eternity going in circles about why I do or don't deserve this raise. Not only was I told I would get this raise upon yearly review, It was brought to my attention that someone who was hired in that I trained and does less work than I do makes more than I do. Apparently this is what happens in the real world... And it sucks. So, Did I get a raise today when I met with my boss for the 2nd time this week about it?
You guessed it. No. Happy-Effing-Tuesday!
Work was over and I came home of course in a terrible mood and I went into crazy Kaila cleaning mode - which is better than the original plan of grabbing a bottle of wine and sitting on the couch all night sulking in my failures. I grabbed the cleaning supplies and ran through the house like a mad woman. With the help of my amazing man we got the entire house cleaned except for the floors and then we quit cleaning because I was pooped. Goodwill bags full, bags out for this weekend and dress pulled out, heels cleaned and ready, and rooms are organized! A clean home = a happy mama. Kind of.
This week is going to fly by. Then, it's off to Grand Rapids for my BIFFs bachelorette party! Then a week later it's back to GR and time for her WEDDING! Somewhere in that time I have to write a speech, Get my hair colored, get my nails done, workout = make my arms look good in a bridesmaids dress, clear up any pimples and make this PMS go away!
I'm so ready for a girls weekend. I cannot wait.
XO
