Hey ladies. Where the heck is everyone? I can't believe that I have beat you all here. Did HATE die??? Sorry I have been MIA lately but between work and home I am ready for the nuthouse. Let me say hello to everyone before I get going on my week.
Jennifer – sounds like you and this guy should plan to meet. Did he just call you out of the blue? He sounds like a good guy.
Michele – Happy Belated Anniversary! Glad you and DH got to spend time together! What’s new with you?
Jen – that sounds like a very rewarding day! Are the animals there while you are selling things? I’d be afraid that I’d bring one or two home with me. You always have so much going on. No wonder you’re tired!!! Did you and Chad have time to get together?
Hi August, Robin, Shelley, Diane and anyone else I may have missed.
Here is a breakdown of my week (last week).
Monday - Ralphie decided he was going to take on a herd of cattle. OK, a 50-lb dog verses a ton cow, not a pretty picture. I saw first hand, “Mad Cow” and I’m not referring to the disease. Long story short, DH and Ralpie were nearly trampled by a very angry cow.
Tuesday - Gabe was diagnosed with ADHD. Without really getting into it too much – I’m anti med and I’m sick of trying to justify myself to others. I’m reading a really good book called ADHD Alternatives in the Classroom – the author of the books provides so much information regarding holistic approaches rather then meds.
Wednesday – as I’m driving, the gearshift literally falls apart. I cannot turn my car off, put my car in park or anything. Somehow the screws came out – on both sides!!! So I piece it back together and drive to work holding on to it. Thank God my boss had a screwdriver in her office so I could fix it.
Thursday – find out that my dad decides to stop for a few drinks BEFORE going to his doctor’s appointment. My brother gets a call from the Police Dept to come and pick him up. He gets cited for public drunkenness.
Friday – take my boys to see a movie in the cafeteria of the school. I’d say there was about 100 people there. The lights are out, the movie is playing – the movie shuts off. Oh, who do you think pulled the plug???? Gabe tripped over it b/c him and his friend were rough housing. I didn’t even have to think – I knew.
Saturday – I think Saturday was ok. At this point, everything just blends together. My brain is mush. Oh no, I remember. My FIL came over on Sat morning to tell me that his car was stolen. My FIL, MIL and another couple went to see a comedy show in So when they left the show their car was gone!!!! It is the crappiest car too – a late 80’s early 90’s 4-door, square box, Old Lady car. If I was a car thief, I certainly wouldn’t have chosen that car to steal. So 10:00pm on Saturday night my FIL calls DH. They found his car in a bad section of the city. Just parked along the street, like someone drove it and parked it there and got out. So DH had to get dressed to drive my FIL to pick up the car.
Sunday – Ralphie chewed up the cord to the vacuum cleaner. The wires were showing but I thought, hey I can probably still use it right? Wrong!!! I plugged it in, sparks flew, it was like the 4th of July coming out of my wall!!!! I was so mad I was getting ready to take the vacuum (which is like 3 months old) out to the trash. DH clipped the wires and fixed it for me. Then later in the day, I’m doing laundry. I walked out to my laundry area to a puddle of water. I don’t know what the heck is wrong with it. I had to clean up a huge mess. I think that is the end of my crazy week.
But now today is Monday and I already left the house this morning fighting with DH. He refused to put a floor or walls in my workout room. I am already really mad b/c I haven’t worked out in ages b/c I have nowhere now that he is working down the basement. He told me it is finished. There is no drywall up. His walls are up in the other parts so it looks like I have walls but they are unfinished. The floor is concrete and there is NO LIGHT in there. He tells me that I’m selfish and that all I think about is myself. Hello . . . . walls=selfish??????? I don’t think so.
OK – sorry to go on and on and be so self absorbed!!!! I’ll check back later
