AMJ Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 We're going to do some errands on the way to the airport. Dh is not cooperating with my schedule. But since he's volunteered to make spaghetti sauce for tonight's dinner I am not going to quibble. My in-the-area brother is being annoying. He's supposed to take over hosting duties tomorrow because of the biopsy but somehow I am hosting my mother, sister AND my brother and wife for tomorrow's dinner. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Perhaps call him tomorrow and say the biopsy left you in no state to deal with dinner and tell him it's all on him? Including clean-up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 For dinner we are having egg salad, strawberries and blueberries, mixed greens salad, and something else that I can't remember. I think it was potato chips. I fell asleep for a few minutes and now I feel woosie. Dd19 has been assigned a new room with all new roommates. She is actually kind of glad because the three new roommates are actually very responsive and within an hour they have all responded and coordinated what items they are each bringing. She tried many times without sucess to get the former roommates to communicate (in a group text that they all agreed to use.) I may require her to get a signed and notorized statement from her friends that tonight's dinner is the For Sure Absolutely Final Goodbye Get-together. 😠I have absolutely no idea what to make for dinner. I don't even want to make dinner. I rarely nap. I always wake up feeling horribly groggy. Unless I started out extremely tired and only slept a maximum of 20 minutes.Then, it does me some good. Yay for good roommates! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Ds21's car was taken to the shop because the guy at the oil change place said he needed new brakes and could see that the rotors were scratched. The mechanic today said his brakes are perfectly fine but he needs a new this and a fix that and the other thing which will cost 3 times as much as brake work. 🤔 😠:ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the car elsewhere to have it looked over, requesting a second opinion.

lanalouwho Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Ugh. I didn't finish all of my chores this morning, but we ended up finishing our lessons with a little time to spare. I decided to use that time to run the vacuum. So, I'm vacuuming and the kitten is hopping around like a cracked out boxer prepared to defeat the evil machine in a battle to the death. Captain Mal comes up behind her and tries to pick her up. She freaks out and scratches him. Now he's screaming. Really, really bawling. I clean his wounds and wrap them up, which helps him calm down a bit. But now we've really got to get going or we're going to be late. I herd the boys out the door, past the hyper-jump-all-over-us big dogs and out to the car, only to realize the carseats were not reinstalled properly after DH had them. So I buckle them in and get the boys loaded up. We are now 5 mins. late. On the way into town, they are repaving the highway and we have to stop and wait. We finally make it to speech and Captain Mal has had an accident in his carseat. I am now walking in, 15 mins late, with a toddler covered in piss. We go in, and I find out we are not 15 mins late. We are actually 23 hrs and 45 mins early. L had sent me the wrong day for the appointment. So the SLP goes to call L. I take Mal to the bathroom to change, only to find out we've already used all the clean undies and shorts in the bag. So I put him in pull-ups and pajama bottoms so I can go talk to the SLP. She says she called L to come help and they can do his appointment today. This was only about an hour of my day. The rest of it hasn't been much better. Sorry for the novel, but I needed to vent.
