Pet Peeve #86

My paper boy is out to get me. He has consistently thrown the paper on the sidewalk or in the yard for a good long time now and as soon as it is a rainy day, it goes in the driveway, where the plastic bag it is in fills with runoff water, rendering the paper a soggy, unreadable mess.

The dirty bastard.

Update on "hell"…

John is out at the grocery store. He went there after dropping off Keelan, because Kessa told him she would cook lasagna tonight if he would go and get the stuff.

But:

She won’t be off work until about 5:00. So when she gets home I will be leaving with my husband and going out of the house for the first time in… a few days. I don’t really keep track anymore. I mean, why bother, right?

Well hell…

John is off work today and it is 3:20pm as I type this. H has just now made it into the living room. Now we can finally go somewhere, as Keelan is home to stay with her. Oh wait, yes, H has been fed. Yes, she has seen the visiting nurse. Yes, she finally got around to doing the daily poop on the bedpan. This is what we were all waiting for so we could go. Now Keelan has to be at work in 26 minutes.

Crap.

Well, Kes is supposed to be home from work sometime soon….

Small dog at large.

Kissy, our little terrier/chihuahua mix, was spotted down the road, actually on the next street, by John when he was on his way back from running an errand. Of course he stopped and got her and brought her home. She was all excited and wagging and you could just hear her telling our other little dog, Baby, “Dude, you gotta escape, too! It was so cool! I just ran down the road and found where Daddy goes when he leaves and he got me and gave me a car ride home! It was fun!”

When I Grow Up…

  • I am going to have a real dinner party with more than just one couple invited over to eat. And not the same couple we always have over that we know so well they are expected to get in the kitchen and help.
  • I am going to have a big girl voice and not sound like a Munchkin doing hits of helium.
  • I am going to begin, AND COMPLETE a decorating project BY MYSELF. (Keep dreaming, Mom.)
  • I will conquer my mild case of ADD and stop giving minor details intense, pinpointed focus, all the while completely missing the broader picture. (Dream on, Krissa)
  • I intend to rise from bed and get a shower and dressed immediately every day and not just when the planets align perfectly.
  • I will always have the perfect, “cool” reply to anything my teenagers say to me with no second guessing. (good luck, girls…)
