Quiet Saturday


Hubby just called, he's getting off early, so he is stopping at the store on the way home to pick up some eggs and bacon for tonight's dinner and hamburger buns and fixings for tomorrows dinner... Son2 is off riding his bike and checking on friends... Son3 is of course playing computer games... And I have just been letting the last day of January slip away while I have been on the computer most of the day... I did run the dishwasher and three loads of laundry and I finished Twilight, but other than that I have no expectations for the day or plans... I am on a timeout as the wrath of Mom appeared last night when the whole week caught up with me and the boys had told me 'no' just one too many times... Son3 is being unreasonable with this loose tooth and hubby sent him to bed early to think about why it was so terrible to just wiggle the tooth... He has only been on the computer an hour today and only after showing me that he is wiggling the loose tooth today... The other tooth is almost completely in and there is no reason why the baby tooth should still be in... And son2 in his new 15yr old teenage hormone mood swings doesn't know when it is wise to get out of the way of mom's hormone mood swings and simply got mauled over by the wrath of mom... Hubby wasn't safe either as I think his note of having to work late was the last straw, after I had been telling him all week of our family plans for Friday night and he didn't know all along he was scheduled to work late... I know the only constant thing is change but it seems every time I start to get into a routine something changes and I have to adjust again... I'm off, the dryer is buzzing at me and the dishwasher awaits another load... Plus the sun has come out finally and burned off the fog so I'm off to see what's going on in the backyard... Hopefully we will all behave tonight and we can watch the Narnia, Prince Caspian movie... and then tomorrow is February 1st, back to work and the Superbowl, so hopefully we won't be too busy....

TGIF

I am so glad it is Friday and this week is over... My house is a mess... I've gotten nothing done this week... Well I have almost finished reading Twilight that son2 borrowed from his friend... And son3 studied his spelling words all week. This week's words: people, easy, busy, taught, picture, listen, follow, focus, effort, computer, correct, details, review, noun and verb... Son2 had to pick his classes for next year and potential electives... Son1 had jury duty so I had to check the computer each day, but he never did have to go in... I forgot to mention when he came over for son2's bday that he told us he got another dog, a Dachshund/Terrier Mix, a girl dog... He already has Danny... And he has a hamster too.... Son3 has had a cold all week and now hubby is getting it... Hubby is still working his day hours, but didn't check the schedule and found out when he went in today that he was scheduled late, I don't understand how people don't look at their schedules to see what they are working... Hubby of course just assumes it's the same every week... But the people I work with don't even look until the day before... I like to know for the whole month, lol, but only know for the week... And now they are having to move people around again at his work, so he may have to go back to closing a few nights... I have mixed feelings... On the one hand I like him home earlier in the evening but he has not been getting any of his chores done... So we will see when he goes back to nights if between the two of us we get this house back in shape... I have had to get up several times to referee son2 and son3 who are bickering with each other and me.... grrrrr.... Son3 has still not pulled his tooth that has been loose since December, so I told him no games until he wiggles it... Oh the drama, just for him to wiggle it... Work has been dramatic this week too... On the one hand I have gotten lots done... However the company is going through some restructuring due to the economy and so three managers were let go this week at our store... I realized today that is was the same positions that replaced mine after I was restructured four years ago... It's unsettling what other changes we will go through this year... Meanwhile with hours low for it being only January and medical insurance going up, my paycheck is not much anyway... But I am fortunate to have it... And I am lucky to be here... On the way home today I was sitting in a long line of traffic waiting for the light to turn green, when out of the corner of my eye I see a flash of the car behind me as he has to slam on the brakes and swerve to the shoulder to avoid hitting me as he was going fifty and not seeing that the cars were stopped... At first I thought it was a young guy but after he got back in line behind me I saw it was a middle aged man... And then I noticed the lady behind him talking on her cell phone, last year they passed the law of hand free cell phones only, hers was not... Then to the left of me a truck drives past, going the wrong way, as it is only a two lane road, he continued driving past all of us waiting for the light until he reached oncoming cars and then he merged back in line with us... I'm so glad to be home where I can curl up comfy cozy and finish reading Twilight and watch some TV when hubby gets home and get a good night's sleep and wake up refreshed to tackle my list that has been waiting all week.... I miss Raisin....
