cyberspace pity party (cuz no one feels sorry for me in real life)
my definition of chaos -- two weeks' worth...
car work:
my power steering went out on the van (another $500 oil change), i witnessed a hit and run accident, my battery died on the van (an unrelated repair two days later and a 3hr ordeal) and today! @$#!, they want $1300 to make the heat/air conditioning run correctly in that blasted vehicle. didn't we just fork out $2000 for a condensor six weeks ago? rapidly reaching the point where we're putting more money into the van than it's worth.
body work:
spent last tuesday night in the ER until 2am. hubby's arm was totally numb and as his dad had his first heart attack at 38, died at 54, he wanted to make sure he was ok -- he is -- has to see a neurologist for probable pinched nerve. came down with a nasty cold on wednesday night, probably someone sneezed their tuberculosis on me in the ER!
busy work:
had to rip up the carpet in the mother-in-law's condo because littlest pulled over the world's soggiest plant and made a mud bog. we've had three soccer practices, two games, three birthday parties and two family parties, plus dinner at my parents' all in the last 12 days. somehow, in around the usual nuttiness of dishes, diaper changes, laundry, school lunches, carpool, etc., i managed to do all of the above plus cut the grass, babysit my friend's son, mop the kitchen floor and take a 30 min. nap one fine sunday afternoon in the middle of all that.
ok, party's over. i'm LOVIN' how writing all of this down is making me feel. so many accomplishments. so it wasn't exactly how i would have chosen to spend my time, but it was something anyhow. truly amazing. you can't make this stuff up. i'm looking for a mellower finish to the month, please....
