It has poured buckets all day. Kinda makes it hard to stay awake, especially after working a 12 hour shift. I must say that this is my favorite weather. I love rain. And this is just straight down rain. No lightning or thunder. Just rain. 🙂 Wonderful!
Friday Fun
Well
Spent today with the hubby. First we went to take care of some very frustrating medical stuff. After much huffing and puffing and trying to blow each other down, we finally settled on getting lunch. But not before making a detour to Home Depot. Found some things there they didn’t have the last time and found out some of the stuff we need they won’t have for a while. Also found out we need a lot more money to do what we really want to do. Like we didn’t know that already…
Went to eat lunch and sat outside to watch the town go by. Not too bad really, although someone ought to create a licensing department for stretch pants and shorts. Really people, you should be able to look in the mirror and just know that you shouldn’t wear that in public. Spare our eyes, please.
After that we went grocery shopping and I spent 3 hours trying not to run over the poor man. he can’t turn his head to see in any direction other than straight ahead, so avoiding him at the same time as everyone else was an adventure in cart control.
So just waiting for the kids to get home, two of which should have been here 20 mins ago…
Yay! The Week end!
It’s finally Friday. Hope to get some things finished up. Would like to take the family out to the First Friday of the month celebration down town. Should be fun. We need the stress relief and it will be a while before we can do it again.
Work was dead. And going to get deader. Especially after the Thanksgiving holidays. The boys have the whole week off and I will have a good portion of it off, so we will get much done around the house, assuming I haven’t found a 2nd job by then. Urg…
School is going well for the hubby, and being on medical leave, he is able to study more. Stress keeps him from being able to concentrate well, but tonight’s activities should help. There is a blues band playing live and we both enjoy that type of music very much.
Nothing funny today… other than i couldn’t find my coat when I left for work last night. So when I got home this morning and no one was here I thought I was locked out. Should have checked the door before spending an hour in the car waiting for the hubby to come home…
Update
Well, life has its ups and downs, and right now things are on a downward path. Trouble with the hubby’s job and the upcoming political climate have me pinching pennies until they squeal. Twice. With Christmas and 3 birthdays coming up, things are about to get slim quick. I’m currently looking for a second job, to replace the income lost when the hubby was forcibly put on leave. He will most likely be fired for medical reasons.
A Pleasant Surprise
When one of my sons came home from school today, he yelled “Hey Mom, you got a package.” Then he gave it to me. I had no idea what it could be as I wasn’t expecting anything. Then I looked at who it was from. We had been discussing her pottery works and I had asked for pictures. She said “Send me your addy and I’ll send you a sample, I already have a piece in mind.” So I sent her the address. I’ve had people say this to me before, and I really didn’t expect anything. LO and BEHOLD, here is my package. I’m so excited and happy I just have to share!
