I have been so bad here lately about posting. Sorry, maybe everything will settle down soon. My hubby took off work yesterday, because as he puts it, “Somebody has to do the cleaning and washing around here!” He has patted himself on the back so much here lately, I fear he will develop a shoulder injury! I know that he has done a lot around here lately, but its nothing I haven’t done for the last 20 years! And I don’t recall ever requesting a pat on my back for doing anything! Everything thing he does, apparently, requires a, ” Great job! Way to go! Atta Boy!!!!” I do appreciate everything he does, I just wish he would quit pointing out everything he does. “Look, I picked up my dirty clothes!” ”Hey Honey, I put a plate in the dishwasher!” ” Look I washed a load of clothes! They are on the bed for you to fold.” ” Everyone should have a husband like me!” ” I cooked supper!!!!!” ” Hey, I can clean, wash and cook. If I bought a blow up doll I wouldn’t need you anymore!”
And yes the last comment was uttered by my darling husband! I know that it was a joke, but I haven’t been in a joking mood lately and I feel bad enough about being down, I don’t need the sarcasm!
On to brighter items in my life. Little Miss has a boyfriend! He called her 8 times last night and 3 times after I told him she could not receive phone calls after 9 pm.
My nieces research paper is almost done, I hope! The teacher keeps changing everything. When told that my niece was having trouble coming up with 600 words on Flannery O’Connor and “The life you change may be your own”, the teacher was happy to give her 3 more authors to research so that she could discuss the differences and similarities of their writing styles. Bug decided that she was not going to do the work of 4 research papers for 1 grade. She found more on the author. The teacher suggested a bio of the author as the first paragraph. But she did not want the normal date of birth and death, summary of awards, places of birth, where she lived. Nothing like that. I don’t know what she wants in the bio. She requires a block quote. When she assigned that one, the words in the block quote would count towards your word count, then she changed her mind. She started out with 800 words, she cut it to 600 words, when she found out all the kids were having trouble coming up with enough to get that many words. She doesn’t think 600 words is enough, she may change her mind again. We were able to come up with 592. Bug says that is close enough. The words a, an, and (and) the do not count. I hope she counted it right!
The Boy has waited more than his 30 days to get his license back. There is a disagreement on whether or not he has to have a letter from the state saying that his license has been released. No one seems to know and I can’t get the Driver’s reinstatement office to answer their phone. No one is ever available. I called the number in Montgomery,that the message gave me to call for exact requirements to get your license reinstated, all it does is give you the numbers for the offices in the state. I went to the web site the message gave me, all it does is tell you what the fees are. I will keep trying though. Of course he still has to come up with the $275. to get them back, plus the money to get his license, seeing how his had expired before he lost them.
On to my back, I have one more day of physical therapy! WOO HOO!!!! Its not helping I don’t know why they keep insisting that I go. I guess because the doctor said 3 days a week for 3 weeks. They are going to reevaluate me. I can tell them, I hurt further up my back now and I still can’t walk far before my legs give out, I still get cramps in my legs, I am still uncomfortable sitting, laying and walking. In other words, I am worse now than when I started the therapy. I am out of muscle relaxers and low on pain pills. I still have the ones I took before I went to the doctor so I guess I will survive.
Daisy is growing and getting more spoiled by the minute. She still refuses to get house broke! She thinks Bella is a chew toy and Misty is a mother figure. I am her favorite pillow and hubby is her good food supplier, Little Miss is a big ole plaything and The Boy, she can’t figure out what he is except an occasional bed mate. I knew she would end up mine. She can get on the couch now all by herself, if she wants to, sometimes she is too lazy to do it. Her favorite past time now is bringing one piece of food in to the living room and eating it and going back for another piece. She does that a hundred times a day. She is crazy.
Tomorrow is the last day of therapy, I may post or I may just stay at Mom’s all day. But I will be back on Friday, I think. I can never tell when Hubby will decide to stay home. I need to go and eat and take a nap, I don’t sleep well at night, could be the naps I am taking during the day, Nah!!! As Always….
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR VISITING!!!!!!
