Sunday with three more days off

My husband is finally at work. He was so worried that it would happen again, that someone would take his job, but it didn't. Now that he is gone someone will probably bump him because with his going to work mid-day today he lined up to have the 4th off. He was really, REALLY beginning to drive me nuts. His being around constantly and not earning any money kind of gets old. It would be one thing if he were getting things done, but he had eleven days off and only two of them did he work on something that impacted my life. He did work on his "new" car several days, but well, we know how I feel about that. The good thing is, I can always accomplish more when he is not here than when he is around. Funny huh? I suppose that is probably true for most of us.

I came home after church today so I could see Mike off and then I went to Wal.mart. I was expecting it to be a nightmare and I was shocked. It didn't start getting busy until I left and I think I got home a couple minutes before 1300. It was almost a pleasant shopping experience. I was able to look at a few baby items that I have been wondering about. I look at things online and read the reviews and I'm not sure if that is good or not. It seems like there are so many items that the reviews are completely split down the middle. You have the five star, best product ever reviews and then the one star wouldn't recommend it to any one reviews back to back. Then I don't know what to decided. It just makes me feel even more like I don't know what the hell I am doing.

So I came home and put my cold items away and decided I needed a little snack. What I ate was so horrible I won't even type it, but it wasn't good for me and since I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch I should have done better. I had planned on eating more after I had my tasty morsel, but I promptly feel asleep. I forgot to mention a few things. I got ink on my shirt when I was shopping so I took my shirt off when I got home to get the ink out. I had already taken my pants off when I got home because I was tired of constantly pulling them up. It is really hot today like it has been this last week so I sat in the chair with the fan blowing on me and the window AC blasting trying to cool down and I fell asleep. Then there was a knock on the door. I actually think there were several knocks on the door before I heard it. Our friends and family know to use our back, really side, door rather than the front. But what they do is walk right past the door bell that is on the exterior of the house and into the breeze way and knock on the house door. Thank goodness you can't see into the living room and thank god I am a compulsive door locker. My FIL and SIL were bringing me my SUV back. My FIL has had it for more than a week now fixing it. I have missed my vehicle so much. My shoulders are both sore from hoisting myself up into the pickup since there aren't any running boards. It isn't a priority for my husband because he is 6'2" before he puts his work boots on. He just gets into it like I can just get into my vehicle. No effort. No climbing involved. I know it was my choice to drive the pickup over the "car" and I am glad it was there for me, but I do have a bit of biceps tendinitis going on now. Oh well, it is all over.

My poor sister and her family. My mom drove 710 miles to visit them this weekend and part of this week. My sister said she has mentioned the 710 miles about every 5 minutes. She has also made my oldest nephew cry because she accused him of cheating when they were trying to play a game as a group. She has also made fun of his hair about as often as she mentions the 710 miles. On the good side, my sister said that my BIL has accomplished more at home today than he does in most weeks and he volunteered to run a couple of errands for her. My sister was more than happy to go outside and talk to me for almost an hour even though we talked yesterday for just as long. She said that her youngest told my mom that she walks pretty slow and she needs to be just put in a wheelchair. How funny! The next thing you know she will have taken that as a doctor's order and she will be in a motorized scooter. I can just see it now. I'm so happy that I can share my mom with them right now. I get her attention about every two weeks and it isn't fair that they only get it once to twice a year, for them ; ) It is amazing how fast kids figure out how screwed up adults are!!!
