OMG - I mean the first two days of this week have been -- challenging.
The weekend, quiet, as Bubba is traveling so much he doesn't want to go anywhere. We did our separate things Saturday, then went out for Mexican, came home and watched the Pens lose a game.
Sunday - mellow baby. Up late, Waffle House Breakfast, a bit of shopping for my week, home, kitchen, prep, laundry was done Saturday night, went to the movies, made steak sandwiches... mellow.
Sunday night Carpool Buddy calls, need to drive separately, he's got an afternoon appointment. No worries.
Monday -- ah Monday that Karma witch apparently sobered up and danced all over the "let's screw with Aunt Ing Button". First, late start because Bubba's system was acting up again. I dug out drugs and handed him the bottle. "Take this before getting on airplane, will make life better"
So, late start, I stupidly take him all the way to the airport, then a bit of zip, zoop and up the road to work. Not at late as I thought I was going to be...but later than usual. BUSY day at work, numbers don't add up, where did this go? Email hunt, peck, search, wait --what?? Where? Oh cripes. Until I headed home about 3:45 PM... arrival time home 5:05 PM. No carpool Buddy - traffic sucked.
Got home, tended to Miss Shelby, reheated something for dinner, putzed, then gathered up Shelby and headed to my Rainbow meeting... Karma-the-bitch must have been drinking Tequila ... I cannot put into words the steaming pile of mess that landed on my head at this meeting. We are getting a new girl! Her mama then proceeded to tell me all that was going on in this kid's life... I am neither emotionally or mentally equipped to handle this. But I will - I have (of sorts). Sweet baby Jesus I am reminded how truly blessed, fortunate, loved... you name it I am. I will do all in my power to give this kid a small slice of normal.
So--- practice ran late, but things went well. I managed to hold myself together - I got home, tended to my very loved, very tired Shelby girl, and we went to bed. Where Shelby snored and I laid awake wondering what the heck I was going with my life....
Tuesday dawned -- on my way into work... the usual morning routine, out the door, carpool Buddy, into work.. for 90 minutes of "what? Where? Oh just add these two together and give it to her!" THEN off for an 8 hour training class, new stuff - YEAH! - had to think - ouch! Left with the demos -- picked up Carpool Buddy-- and 90 minutes later we were home (Accident Tuesday!!) Called the Vet told then I'd be late with Shelby girl, thankfully only be a few minutes, she got her laser treatment, then we headed back down the road, called Nana we chatted, then Shelby decided that she had to go - number 2. In my car... so I pulled over, cleaned up that bit of a mess, got what I needed to do, made my way back North and home, talked to Bubba (always exciting); tended to Shelby, cleaned my car, tried to make myself some dinner and dropped soup on the kitchen floor. Yeah... cleaned up that mess, then dumped all those soup-sopped rags in the laundry room only to find Shelby 15 minutes later standing there licking rags... Quickly got those into the laundry.
By the time I sat down last night - it was already pushing 8 PM... I didn't get to bed until 10 PM.. Wednesday morning came WAY too freaking early. Today at work has been busy, busy, busy...and a lot of hurry up and wait... so here I blog.
Tonight - I'm baking a cake for a co-worker who is leaving. It's going to be a mix and icing. Here. Too tired for anything extra. And I will be in bed early... even if I lay there staring at the ceiling at least I will be horizontal.
Did I mention when I got to work there was a HUGE run in my pantyhose -- I swear it wasn't there when I put them on this morning -- I'm pretty sure I would have noticed this one. Off to go see what the boss just sent... 4 emails in 5 minutes.. she's on a roll.
