I’m sitting here physically exhausted tonight, and can guarantee you that I won’t have ANY problems sleeping tonight…LOL! I had to have my son downtown this morning for an appointment at 11:00, which ended up taking almost 3 hours for him, but only about 30 minutes for me. So I had to find something to pass the time while I was waiting for him. Fortunately it was sunny and semi warm, so it wasn’t that bad. I just found a parking spot in the sun and started reading the book I brought along. All went well until I dozed off and missed a call from my son on my cell phone letting me know he was done and I could come and get him (He didn’t know that I was sitting outside of the building). But the ringer for my voicemail woke me up so I tried calling back, but was immediately sent to his voicemail. Rather than play phone tag I just walked over to where he was at and went in and told the lady at the desk that he had called me to come and pick him up. She looked at me with this REALLY puzzled look on her face and said “Well I don’t know where he is at, where did he tell you he was?”. I’m not feeling very good about her answer but she sent me upstairs to where he “should” be and sure enough, there he was.
We had 2 hours until his next appointment and considering the fact that we live about 45 minutes from downtown, it would have been a complete waste of gas to drive all the way home, then come right back to the same area for his next appointment, so we decided to drive around downtown to see if we could find somewhere that we could grab a bite to eat. The only thing(s) that I TOTALLY dislike about downtown are the CRAZY drivers and the lack of non paid parking spots. As we were driving I had some dude in an SUV completely cut me off and I had to lock up the brakes to keep from slamming into the back of him. My son happened to notice that he wasn’t from Ohio, his tags were from Pennsylvania. I was flipping pissed because he pulled out right in front of me cutting me off and there was not a single car behind me, how difficult would it have been for him to have waited a few seconds for me to pass by so that he could pull out safely? He’s REALLY lucky I was in a good mood because I’d have loved to have completely and totally kicked his butt. Then he could have went crying all the way back home and hired himself a Pennsylvania personal injury lawyer to try and come after me for whopping his butt! Then I’d just have to sick my 15 year old son, who likes to think he’s a Ninja, on him, maybe that would teach him a lesson…LOL!
By the time we got finished up with my son’s afternoon appointment it was already after 4:00 and I had to stop at the drug store and pick up some prescriptions, so I didn’t get home until after 5:30. My poor puppies had been home alone for 7 HOURS and they welcomed me with one HECK of a mess! They destroyed a shoe, a spatula and a piece of wood that I have NO clue where they found. One of them also had gotten sick and there was a nice pile of puppy puke that needed to be cleaned up. But, it could have, and has been, MUCH worse.
The worst part about today is that I missed my daughters first track meet. It started at 4:00 and got over about 6:30. But my husband was able to get to it and they are on their way home right now. Although my daughter didn’t do so great personally, her team did win the meet, so she’s happy! She’s got some work to do, she knows that, but since this is her first year running track, it’s still a learning experience for her!
OK, gotta wrap this up and finish dinner!
