Honestly, this week was like the song that never ends, it went on and on and on! Sorry, there's gonna be some whine here.....
Labor Day was nice, busy but nice. Tuesday, not so bad, but we've had a lot of follks out for rough times. One out on illness, one with her mom so we were short staffed. Still ok, but DS calls to say he is changing from Homeland to a county job, which I am kinda unsure about...and I'm thinking there's more to that, but figure it's none of my business. He says he'll switch to their academy that day. No biggie, but still wondering.
Tuesday, I also found out that younger DS has been screwing around in English, to the point of failing two assignments. Luckily, his teacher is allowing him to redo them. He hadn't read directions. I think she's being awfully nice...but he's on very tight restriction at this point!
Weds, we took my dad to the airport where he left for Germany to be with his sister on a trip with her church. We had to drop and run as we were meeting DS's. GF's parents for dinner. Her mom.....think Carol Brady. perfect 70's Dorothy Hammill cut, in a perfectly pressed skirt and makeup perfect. I felt like Roseanne Barr. The dad has this wierd sense of humor and DH and I are just looking at him, and I'm usually ok with humor. In the meantime, I see DH make wierd faces, but I'm thinking it's the GF's dad telling wierd jokes. Then her dad asks if we are excited that DS is graduating this coming Tuesday. I thought the food was gonna roll out of my open mouth. We kinda mumbled sure, why would we miss such an occassion. The nite....long and I couldn't wait to get out and text DS to see what the heck is going on. In the car, DH is telling me how much her dad enjoys hunting and fishing with DS.....and that it's so nice that his grandfather taught him to fish and his uncle sold him guns, and where did he ever learn to drive a boat. DH said he felt like we had done nothing....AND her dad had asked what circumstances had forced him to sell his old car, which DH hasn't had since high school. I was so hurt and livid. All these weekends that DS has been "working" and here he is spending time with her dad. Which is ok, but not the lying. And the graduation.....I was livid that we didn't know. DS said that her dad was exaggerating about some of the stuff and yeah he had gone out with him....but I was not a happy camper and i let him know.
Thursday, I go into work all upset, only to have one coworker's DH have chest pains, so she had to leave....and one co worker's mother was sent from emergency surgery to hospice. Her cancer has come to the point that she has just days to live. It was so sad and her mom is just a few years older than I am. And I had to close for the one who had the DH with chest pain. Luckily he was ok, it was stress.
But I did have it out with DS...and I told him I was not happy. Long story short, he did transfer to another job, but his training carried over....AND this graduation is just sending him to another level. It's not the big graduation.
Friday, I had to close AGAIN, working late....and I had to work today. Long, long week.
I came home tired, and DH was in a decorating mood. It's that time of year. We went to a local nursery, and I, yes me! actually had fun. I love fall, and I found lots of neat plants and decorations. We then went to the mall where I found some more stuff.....and DH painted. I cleaned, and now I'm just chilling! This entire week has caught up!
Tomorrow, we're having DS and his GF over for dinner and my mom and her "friend". It should be interesting. Next week, I work late every night, but I still go in at the same time. It's gonna be a long week again!
I'm totally loving the cooler weather, it feels amazing! We had rain today, but I was sneaking a nap in between shopping.
I'm tired......so I'm gonna hit the bed.
Noni....how is Friday morning for coffee? It would have to be before 9 as I go in at 9, or Monday the 20th? Then I don't have to be in till 930. Just let me know!
Thanks for listening and letting me vent.....you ladies are the best set of ears and shoulders I could have....and I truly appreciate you all!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.....Love you all!
