What a day!!
PostedAnd it isn't even noon yet! We had some threatening weather move through here, some with the threat or tornadic activity so when I turned out the lights last night, I was sleeping lightly listening for whatever may have come. We finally got some torrential rain about 1 AM but other than that and some lightning, we escaped the brutal stuff. I had to be up at 4:30AM though since DS #1 has Battle Assembly this morning and we have a 1 1/2 hour drive to get there. We left here a little after 5 and I was heading back when DS #2 called. His alarm clock didn't go off and he missed the bus. I was at least 40 minutes from home and was thinking I could get some breakfast and run my errands early so I could be home doing what I wanted to do on my day off but....I rushed home, picked him up and took him to school where he ended up being a 1/2 hour late. Of course, the school thought it was their duty to make me feel like a derelict parent... *sigh* It's now just after 8 so I head to Wal-Mart to pick up the stuff I need there, then on to Sam's club to pick up my prescription that I forgot yesterday (and of course, I am off today and tomorrow and I am out of pills right?) Then I stopped at Lowes to get a new switch for my MIL's lamp and decided I would call my MIL's foot doctor's office back since they didn't return my call on Wednesday or Thursday and well, now I am a little pissy. Of course today is the doctor's day off and apparently he actually gets to take a day off so he was not available and neither was anyone else to answer my questions so I told them fine, I would do what I thought was right and find another doctor that gave a sh*^ and hung up. I called our GP and I am taking her in this afternoon. She has an ulcer on her foot that they have been messing with since May and now I have the doctor telling me to not let it dry out and the home health nurse telling me it has to dry out. SO hopefully our GP will at least tell me if it is ok, getting worse or getting better. It looks better but what do I know?
So I went to my MIL's and dropped off the switch for the lamp, made sure she had something easy for lunch since no one is there and told her I would be back to take her to the doctor this afternoon. Then I came home and unloaded my groceries, ate a bowl of cereal and now I am trying to decided if I want to nap before I have to head out again or if I want to sew which was my basic plan for the day in the first place! All I have left on the Irish Blessing Sampler is the beadwork and I really want it finished. I probably really need a nap though since sleep was elusive last night. I have to be out of her in an hour and a half so who knows... Probably no nap since I jus remembered the garbage hasn't been put out yet either. *sigh*
