Break Point

Recap - will add photos later.

Yesterday:

*Kids had a half day yesterday so I did laundry - for four hours. Bleech.

*Stopped at Mom's new place and ended up staying for about 2 hours, helping direct movers with boxes. She has a LOT of boxes, quite a few of which are going into the basement. Those poor moving guys earned their money yesteday. They were doing stairs ALL day. Here's a funny moment. One of the workers came in with some boxes, walked up to Mom and said, in a tired but heavily Mexican accented voice, "Ehhh, basement?" He was really tired of the basement. Cna't say I blame him one bit. But, for the rest of the time I was there, I would walk up to Mom and mutter "Ehhh, basement?" Needless to say, we would giggle each time. We were still giggling about it today.

*We got back home and I set up dinner in the oven. Husband walked in and Eldest and I decided to run out and deliver more Girl Scout cookies.

*Back home and got ready to go to a Girl Scout meeting from 615pm-815pm.

*Home again - kids to bed by 9pm. Husband and I did bills and I worked on more PTA paperwork.

*Passed out while watching Family Guy on Adult Swim. Again.

Today:

*Got the kids up and moving. We just missed Youngest's bus - so I chased the bus down.. and caught up with it by the next stop. We got out and sprinted for the bus. Wow - so invigorating. I hate invigorating. I don't run. Ever. The only way I would run is if someone is chasing me with a knife. A big knife.

*Called Mom, picked up coffee, water, and rolls and arrived at Mom's place by 915am.

*I did manage to unpack most of her food and find a proper home for them - only after rearranging the cabinets and drawers five or six times. Can you say OCD? I knew you could.

*The appliances (fridge, washer and dryer) are being delivered today. In fact, they are probably already there and, hopefully, ready to run!

*Comcast really sucks. Wait, let me reiterate - the service guy, who came out yesterday and didn't do his friggin' job at Mom's place, sucks. The lovely young lady, to whom I spoke with today, rocks. It does suck that they can't hook up anything until Tuesday. TUESDAY! No tv and no computer.

*We will be having a Girl Scout event at the local karate place at 430pm today. Both troops will be there - roughly about 25 girls. Heh. The sensai was ok with it. Poor bastard.

Tomorrow:

*The girls will be sleeping over at my inlaws house tomorrow. And, you all know what that means, right? RIGHT?.

*I'm going back tomorrow to do food shopping for Mom and Dan. Husband will set up the computer and accessories.


I was so dusty and dirty from opening boxes. Ugh. I needed to jump into the shower when I got back home this afternoon. Imagine my surprise to find a box from these people that was sent by this lovely lady. So, my quick shower was changed into a nice long luxurious soak. At 130pm in the afternoon. Can you say nice and peaceful? Normally, I don't take baths - I just shower. I think I might need to rethink the no bath thing again. Hey - I smell nice too!

Thank you my dear friend. I *heart* you!

So very glad you like the bath bombs.

You deserve them.

I *heart* you, too!
