Well, I'm back, and as usual, have strayed. I haven't weighed here, but the gym scale said 177!!
Up like 5 lbs since last weigh in there. OUCH!!!
Stress, Birthday cake, busy, garage sale, no time to exercise, not journaling. All my fault and ALL CONTROLABLE!!!!!!!!! Oh well.......
Last I was on was 10/14. I went with DS19 to take his car to BrakeMasters to get checked. Brake pads are fine, it's that the parts are old/rusty/grimy that it squeaks. No big deal. DS19 called at 11:57 p.m. from work. At Brakemasters he had taken his ignition key off & given it to them to use, leaving his door key on his keyring. Got out at work & left keyring on seat. Noticed after work & called me. Got up, threw on a sweatshirt & drove to get him...no spare key (we forgot to get one made). Tried for 30 min to open w/ coat hanger, no luck. Back home. Crawled in bed & DH asks if we have the car. No. Tells me we need to go back out & either get it open or call a locksmith & get it open as it will get stolen. So back out of bed, dressed, got DS19 & went to try again. No luck. Tried 3 locksmiths & all said at least a 3 hour wait. Finally just came home....now 2:30 a.m. Back in bed at 3, took dogs out at 4 as DH said they needed it, up at 5:45 (now DH birthday).
Made 2 lunches, 3 breakfasts, took DS19 to bus, DD to school, back home to wait for DS22. (Who better to ask to try to break into a car????/) DS19 remembered he had French homework & as I was walking out to tell him I was ready to leave for the bus I see him cutting apart one of our '6 on a sheet' family pictures....he needed 1 for class. I could have cried! Oh well, it was already done. Get back from dropping him & notice he forgot the picture and his French notebook. UGH!!!
Take DS22 w/ an assortment of 'stuff' to try to break into the car. Try for almost 45 min & can't. Call a locksmith. He came & couldn't. Called another, ran to the gas station to get DS22 a 6 pack of beer ( his bribe for helping & not yelling at me about having to wait) 2nd locksmith couldn't get in either, but was able to help us pry the T-tops slightly and fish the keys out thru the crack between top & window glass.
Dropped DS22 at home & headed to UNM to take DS22 his French stuff. Doing 80 on the interstate & texting DS19 to figure out where to meet during his 10 min walk between classes as I had no time left to park & meet him. Arrived with 4 min to spare.
Back home and as I'm pulling on my street DD's friend txts me & says they're done with PSAT tests & ready to be picked up. Get them, get home & DD decides she needs to get a different card for DH birthday as she didn't like the ones I got. Headed to the mall, then back home to drop her friend off, back to the Oral Surgeon Appt, pick up DH cake, pick DS19 up at bus. Home again to drop off cake, back to get DH balloons & meet for dinner at Red Lobster.
Is it any wonder I'm tired???????
That was Wednesday. Thursday I had to clean garage, set up sale, etc. Friday & Sat was the sale. To add to the confusion, I've been looking for DD a full size bedroom set & found the perfect bed for her on Craigslist Thurs about 6:30pm, ran to look at it & she loved it, back home to completely GUT her room so I could sell her furniture (didn't, but it's in the garage for Craigslist). Carried all her stuff up & out....headboard/footboard, rails, mattress, box spring, huge desk w/ hutch, 3 drwr chest w/ hutch, 6 drawer dresser & mirror. UP THE STAIRS!!!!! Finally fell in bed about midnight Thurs night & up at 5 a.m. Friday night ws the first choir concert. Saturday got a truck & picked up DD's new bed. After She went to work & DH to the casino, I moved the mattress & box springs into the office so she could sleep on it.
Sunday up early to go look for bedding for her, do 9 loads of laundry, vac & shampoo the carpet just where her bed will go(the rest of the room is all her stuff in piles & containers as no dressers yet), then assemble the bed. At least we got it up so she could sleep in her room last night. It's cream iron, full size, with the square canopy frame at top & we put creamy semi sheer curtains all around. Ordered a chocolate comforter & skirt, cream sheets & curtains on the bed, she has blue carpet, so getting blue ties for the bed curtains & will put cream, chocolate & blue scarf drapes at the window....after we get around to painting which may not be til Spring Break. She wants 2 walls khaki/cream & 2 brown. hmmmmmmmmm...........
So, as usual, I'm just lying around eating bon bons & watching tv.......
Managed to drag my sorry carcass to the gym to swim this morning. DS22 called in sick to work last night ...thinks he has an eye infection. Doesn't take care of his contacts, wont' go get eyes examined ...DH says we need to pay for it as he doesn't have the money....I pointed out that he makes enough, but if we do it, he doesn't have to pay...which is why he's buying 2 new PS3 games he has on preorder in the next 2 weeks. More than enough money to go to the eye dr., but we have our priorities. I'm of course the bad one for not wanting to pay. Sunday of last week he had a meltdown, 22 yr old tantrum over the shoe laces in his work boots...looked more like thread than laces they were so worn. I pointed out that he works at
WALMART & laces there are 88c! So Monday night, before time to get DS22 up for work, DH pulls out his own cycle shoes & takes the laces out, puts the laces from his dress shoes in his cycle shoes. Hangs the longer laces over the canopy rails of our bed. When DS22 comes up , DH gives him the laces for his boots which DS22 promptly rejects as they aren't the right color & too long. DH then tries to get me to run to Walmart to buy laces....NOT!!!! Talk about enabling DS22 to not take responsibility....!!!!!! I was LIVID!!!!!! And he still hasn't bought laces & his bank account is still overdrawn by almost $300....yet he makes take home of almost $1400/mo with no bills other than car insurance $80 & his cell phone $100 & gas for his car (and cigarettes, liquor, drugs, meals out(which we dont' even eat out anymore)......
I wonder why I'm angry, bitter, stressed, depressed.......
Oh well....life goes on......
Time to get something to eat & get moving on today's 'to do' list.
