But suddenly, like the start of rain, it all changed. First, the cat decided to upchuck on Brian’s backpack. Now why, with all the possible choices did she decide his backpack needed a fur ball design? This, OF COURSE, made us slightly late for school. Then I dropped my brand new cell phone, and of course it landed square in a puddle. My x husband called with a request for help, which in itself is never good. Next, a call from my mother, my cousin miscarried her baby in the 4th month. She also informed me that she would like me and my son to travel IN A CAR WITH HER to Washington for my 45th birthday. This is proof positive that I have no real life.
All my clients that follow have a series of loan problems that I do not have the answer for. Doesn’t anyone take Good Friday off anymore? Without having lunch, I raced to pick up my son at school promptly at 2:30. He jumps in the car, “I’mhungry?. Like this announcement could make me produce a hamburger right there on the spot. ?How was your day?? I ask. ?Ok. I am hungry? ?I heard you the first time Brian, but I have to go to the store before I take you home? He rolls his eyes, sighs and says ?But I?ve had a really long day?. HA! Yeh well it was about to get longer...
We go to the store, he is no help, ?Can we go now? Are we done yet? Mom? Mom? Are you done yet???. I am trying those deep breathing exercises they tell you on Oprah that work so you don?t kill your kids. WE finally get through the checkout. I cannot find my wallet. Yep, no wallet. My son gives me the ?You?ve GOT to be kidding me? look. The store informs me that they will put everything in the back, but when I return, it will all have to be re-rung up. I was so proud I didn?t let out one of those blood curdling primeval screams. And yes, I am capable.
We had soup for dinner as I eyed that bottle of vodka in the freezer.
...And I did NOT return to the store.
Until next time, I remain your redheaded,
Catherine
