What a Day Thursday Was!!

Well, I guess it should have been a clue that it was going to be a bad day when I woke up late, without a babysitter. My friend who has been keeping R had to stay with her mother in the hospital and couldn't keep him. So I was resigned to either take him to my 3 hour class with me or call my 74 year old mother. I called her at 6:30 and she was no where to be found, so I called my sister who lives next door. They found her out in the garden picking beans. Reluctantly, and let me say again, reluctantly, she agreed to keep R which was an ease off my mind since I didn't have to take my 6 year old wild child to school with me- but this also meant that I would have to drive 15 minutes out in the country and back before I left for school. Remember, I am already late as it is....not a good start.

Well, my sweet hubby said he would take him. "Well, he should, you may be saying, but you don't know what my parents and family have put my poor baby through the last two years and just let me say wounds are still healing". So for him to offer to carry him was touching.

Well, I do make it to class, not too late, they were setting up the coffee and donuts, so I didn't miss anything important. I had to rush home to pick R up because my mom was tired and couldnt' fool with him too long. Then me and my oldest got into it at my mom's for him being so disrespectful, mean and grouchy to his elderly grandparents he should be flipping over backwards to help.

Then started the rat race of finding something for S for our anniversary and for Father's Day. I went to 6 different stores, but finally settled for a Serius Radio system, two pairs of blue jeans for our anniversary and a shadow box and a nice rod and reel for Father's Day. Spent way too much money by the way, which went totally against my new resolution to save, save, save.

Anyhoo, the day only gets worse. I come home to find out that my disability check has still not come in the mail and when I call, I find out that it hasn't been fully processed and they need my signature and some stuff from the doctor. I freak out because when I get my next pay check, it will only be half of what I usually make and no disability check to supplement it. They say it could be a month or two before I get it. Just Great!!!!

A bright smiley for the day was my DH walkign through the door with his arms loaded to the hilt with a dozen red roses and yellow daisies, a Circle E candle, which I can't use because he hid it in his car for a week sideways and you guessed it, it melted and I can't find the wicks, a sewing box, and some Sand and Sable which he says is my "jump me" perfume.

Then I find out that the night that my DH wants to take me out to celebrate our anniversary since all the kids will be home tonight, is the same exact night that of our going away party for our pastor, whom is one of my best friends and I love her dearly. So I choose to go with my DH. But with an added guest, R whom I still can't find a babysitter for. So there goes the romance! We went to Olive Garden. It was good, but not $30 good, especially for me just eating off of S's plate and not ordering a meal of my own. Eating out is way too overrated.

So, now to the conclusion of my day. We go home to uhm, have dessert, per say and as we are walking in, the phone rings at 10pm. Not a good sign. Well S is on call and they found a load of dope and he has to go to work. I go to bed all alone.... tomorrow WILL be better!
