spoke too soon

why did i post that last post?
LIFE chuckled and said oh? you are bored? muwahahahhaha

Dp got a job offer last week.
I'm sure everyone read about it on facebook before we even talked about it, can you hear the tension in that statement? (i don't think he will do that ever again) I'm such a pessimist, even with a new job I still see the uphill battle. It is 100% commission and he needs a licence (that he doesn't have) to get paid and we are still a one car family which is just so much fun.

He starts tomorrow and maybe then I will saying something sweet like "good job honey, all my cover letters really paid off!"

Leah, Miguel, B&DD came into town for their spring break.
They are giants, tall and lanky.
They are smart. Corrected me - "Cool dragon!" "That's not a dragon its a serpent." (reading box) "Oh... yeah I guess it is a serpent."
I'm in the middle of our quarter close, so I was working most nights I was there.

Wednesday we went to the rodeo. I haven't been since high school when I went with Christi to see Duran Duran and missed the Big Brother finale. That is what kind of friend Christi is, even when I tell her no you don't understand, this is the finale what if Will wins? after all that and she can convince me to go into a crowd and rely on my vhs recorder to document the finale... whew I have anxiety thinking about it. Ps Will won.
Anyway- we walked 400 miles
  • in the parking lot to the shuttle
  • from the shuttle around the dome to reliant stadium (it was my first time in the stadium, are you really shocked? I'm still talking about VHSs....)
  • went the wrong way and walked ALL THE WAY AROUND the stadium
  • found our section but there was a sleeping baby the end of our row, so we went back down, back up and were in the wrong section, back down, back up in the right section, climbed across 20 people and finally sat down.
  • back to the shuttle
  • back to the car
  • to the bed
*did i mention i was wearing closed toed shoes?! that alone was torture.

By Thursday I had been home for sleeping only. I'm a home body so i missed my bed and my cats and my territory. But we weren't done yet.

FIL went out of town so we had Mary duty. So after work I would go home, change, feed the cats and come over to the in-laws to help dp take care of Mary. Thursday was my first meltdown. Friday night, Saturday subsequent meltdowns. Sunday dp intended to take her to church but I was physically a puddle of exhausted. So instead she came over to our house and I cleaned and did 900 loads of laundry, changed the sheets, organized....



 And now it is Monday. I take it back. I'd rather be bored....
