It has been a week, let me tell you! 1. When a business opens at 10:00, you have an appointment at 10:00 to have your hair done and you show up at 9:45 you really don't have any right to complain that the person you have an appointment with is not there yet. It's not 10:00. And the real estate office upstairs, much more precisely ME, cannot help you with your hair appointment at the completely separate business downstairs that is not open and it is not time yet for your appointment. So take your bitchy attitude right on out the door with you sister. So there! That's it for now but I'll be back...it's that kind of day.

My cell phone won't charge. I have to go into the Verizon store and take it in. Hopefully they will give me a new phone without too much trouble.

My cell phone won't charge. I have to go into the Verizon store and take it in. Hopefully they will give me a new phone without too much trouble. I hate cell phone problems. I can handle a lot of tough shit but I feel so inept when they start talking to me about cell phone stuff. I feel like they're trying to scam me and I'm ill prepared to deal with them.

Dh went to a week long programming classes/convention in Orlando so I have spent the week doing both parenting jobs as well as a lot of extra driving and working 20 hrs. He has been having a lot of fun, I guess. He hasn't texted me once but has posted plenty of FB updates about his week. The killer was the surprise trip to Harry Potter land. The rides made him ill and had never read a single book or watched a movie. I could have cried. What a waste.
He comes back tonight thank goodness because between my 2 sons there are 6 different events to drive them to this weekend.

DS-I told you that you last night that you need to be ready a mere 15 minutes early today or Uber to school. I have to get to my doctor's appt on time. Now you're bitching about having to Uber. You were warned. Get it together kid.

I've worked my tail off for two months and I still don't have any money to show for it. It will come, there's stuff in the pipeline, but it's frustrating. I had a buyer back out earlier in the week that should have given me my paycheck for April. No paycheck until May or June now.

Dear sister: Neither your father nor I are out to get you, pull the wool over your eyes, maneuver behind your back or trick you in any way. He makes a valiant attempt to treat all 3 of his daughters equally. You need to stop assuming everyone is plotting against you and get. the. fuck. over. it.
Or at least stop calling me and bitching all the time. Caller ID is my new best friend because I am so done.

How hard can it be to commit to a date. There is one weekend available, and the venue isn't available Sat or Sun. That makes it Fri evening. I'm so sorry that you don't like the idea of a Fri evening court of honor, but there isn't a choice. We need to put down the deposit before Friday is gone, too. I'm perfectly happy to do it myself, and I will if you don't commit today. Then you can organize your own some other time.

I have a Jeep that is only 8 months old, and the "tougher than regular car paint" on the hard top is already chipping, AND, there is a hole is the SIDE wall of one of the $250 tires. Luckily, I have a full sized spare, and we're hoping the paint is covered by the warranty.

Dear Ex-Husband:
I know you feel really full of yourself now that you have a woman in your life but I'm not sure why that means every.single.interaction with you must be full of angst and drama. You know you have the kids every other weekend, we've had the same drill for 8 years, but there's always something going on that complicates that when it's your turn. I've been incredibly respectful towards you and your time over the years ... can't you just be reasonable once in a while (no, I know you can't, but I continue to hope).
Happy Friday everyone!

I'm sick of life being in limbo as we move from one house to another, only on weekends. I understand DH doesn't want to take time off work, but I am done. I want my life back. We are heading into week three.

The forecast starting tonite - RAIN! 90% chance tonite, 80% chance tomorrow. WE NEED NO MORE RAIN HERE IN HOUSTON! I just had to cancel my scrap trip for tomorrow. It was in Loveland, two hours away. It is supposed to snow throughout the weekend. Rats. We have 4 inches so far. I'm in Colorado and we do need the moisture. My flowers (that like the cold) are loving it.

We missed an entire week of school last week due to flooding. And many areas still not recovered. So we really don't need any more moisture. Concerned the creeks and bayous will not respond well to a full weekend of rain again.

Mine is a very first world vent - the stupid remote won't work! Batteries have been replaced so it's not that. I've pushed the up button and got the ondemand channel. I've pushed the down button 5 times, the screen moves once. Stupid shit like that. I'm finally fed up with it and will be taking it to Comcast for a new one. The only problem is that it's COMCAST. Ugh. Most of the time, we don't have a problem with them but every now and then, I just don't get how some of those people keep their job.

This has been a horrible week at work. Tuesday, my boss told me to schedule a residential job to start Wednesday. Done. Then, Tuesday afternoon, he said our technician didn't finish the job he was on so had to go back Wednesday so I'd need to reschedule the job for next week. Apologized to the homeowner and rescheduled to start next Wednesday. Thursday, boss said "hey, the job we were supposed to start Friday is pushed to Monday, so ask the residential homeowner if we can start Friday morning".
Before contacting the homeowner, I asked boss "are you sure??" This was Thursday about 1PM. After confirming that it was definitely ok, I contacted this client, again, and told her we'd be able to start Friday morning between 8-8:30AM, if she was available. She said she'd make sure she was and all was good-right?!!
Not so fast-boss texted me last night to ask if we could re-schedule, AGAIN, for next week. I came to work at 6:30, spoke to our technician, and decided that NO, I was not going to contact the homeowner and push her off again. So I had the technician start her job today-LIKE IT WAS SCHEDULED.
This is the son of the company president and he's being groomed to take over the business. He is just so disorganized/scatterbrained I'm not sure how much more I can take!
Sorry for the long, rambling post-but it does feel good to vent.

I sent my niece a package - she lives in New Zealand, I live in Georgia, USA Package was 6 boxes of Girl Scout cookies - $35 A cute hat for great niece - $5 Cross-stitch that I designed to look like her family, including her cat, took me a week to design and a week to stitch Frame for cross-stitch - $15 Shipping charges to New Zealand - $70
I messaged her, let me know when package arrives. That was all I asked. She didn't respond. After a couple of weeks, I see package was delivered last Tuesday. I messaged her this morning and asked if she got it and listed the contents in case there was some problem at customs.
Her reply was.... "Yes"
That was it, no "thank you", no "we are enjoying the cookies", no "the hat is cute" or "the cross-stitch picture is cute"
Just ... Yes
She has had the package for 4 days. I guess if I didn't ask her, she wouldn't have even told me she got it.
I didn't expect jumping up and down praises but I would have like to had known it got there and a simple Thank you.
Oh well...lesson learned.

These are being removed today. It's necessary, but I love them and will miss their shady beauty when it gets hot. The crew is really nice, though, and the are being very careful of the stuff that stays.

I was riding scooter with my kids a week and a half ago, and I turn too sharp and crash to the ground. I went to a regular walk-in clinic, as it swelled right up and was quite painful. They did X-rays and said it wasn't broken, and gave me a removable wrist splint to help it heal.
Then 6 days later, the walk in clinic called me and said that they re-looked at the x-rays, and I actually fractured my hand, so they were referring me to an orthopedist for a consultation. I went today, and I actually broke / crushed the knuckle right below the pinky and ring finger. I had to get a cast on, and go back in 3 weeks to be checked. I'm mad that the first place didn't see it, so I wasted a week and a half not being in a cast, and I'm mad that I have to get a cast at all!!

DD#2 is upset with me. Very long story but DD and her DH just moved back to town after getting out of the army. They seem to expect the rest of the family to babysit, feed them meals and buy them stuff when we go to the store. Most of us don't mind doing stuff but would like to be asked first if it is convenient. And it's getting to the point they are taking advantage of a couple of grandparents. So I had a chat with her and set some ground rules and now she is unhappy with me. Well, too bad. I'm not going to let her take advantage of me or elderly grandparents (who just can't say no to their granddaughter). You need to stand on your own two feet, sweetheart. Love you but that's the way it's gonna be.

Dear MIL,
I think it was dick move that you cornered DH into having a family reunion with just your family the same weekend as DS graduation & party. WTF were you thinking? Oh that's right you don't give a rats ass. You didn't stop to think that one its Memorial day weekend. Two, I have nephews grad ceremony Thursday night after working all day and having a house full of company. Three, DS grad ceremony Friday night and a dual graduation party for both boys Saturday. Now you want a family reunion on Sunday. Then to guilt DH into hosting the damn thing. Seriously?!? And then...have the balls of steel to tell DH cousin who I've met only 3 times in my life that she can just stay with us that weekend. Without even asking us if that was ok. What the ever loving F*+#'t*%%€. You do realize I have a 3 bedroom house and 1 bathroom and I already have several people staying here. We are so full I've got people staying in the camper for over flow. Then you actually got mad and pouted when I put my foot down and said NO. Cousin can stay somewhere else. Or better yet, you are getting a hotel room. So why not let her stay with you! Then to tell me "well then You need to call cousin and tell her." UM.... No. You told her without even asking. You can damn well call and and tell her you overstepped and she can not stay here.
Dear DH, grow a set a balls and actually say No to your mother. The fact that she even wanted to make this weekend about her and her family only, pisses me off to no end. I have family here this weekend too. From KY, MO, WI, IL and IN. You didn't think I may want to be able to spend time with them... But now I get to play friggen host to 20+ people at my house. You didn't even talk to me about this before you told your mom sure, we'd love to have a reunion. LIE! if your mother wants a reunion, she can host it herself and pay for it.
You'd think getting that out I'd feel better. Nope I'm still so pissed off I could scream.
