It is flat out pouring rain here today. Ugh! I hope we don't have the flooding we had a few weeks ago. Those poor people are still drying out.

I'm waffling on what to do about this weekend.

This should be Gabe's weekend but since Marc and the broom's son got into a fight again the last time he was there Gabe has decided they can't be there on the same weekend.....again. Of course, I had plans for this entire weekend and now I have major problems because Gabe won't have him as scheduled. Here's the deal.

Assuming Marc passes his 10 minute drill for karate twice in the next 3 days (frankly a longshot), he will have to be a black belt pre-testing from 1:30p-4:00p on Saturday. I have to take my mom to dialysis as usual Saturday morning and pick her up in the afternoon, usually around 1:15p. I can't pick her up and get Marc where he needs to be so I'll have to make arrangements for someone else to pick her up. My cousin just informed me that she will be in town this Saturday from FL and would like to get together to go to a big farmer's market. Of course, that can't happen because of my schedule. I'd love to see her but unless someone builds a time machine it isn't going to happen.

Lastly, my gf and I had planned ages ago to go to the Highland Games at Stone Mountain this weekend. If you haven't heard of these, it's a massive Scottish festival. My clan is represented every year and the Sassenach coming with me is going to hang on my coat tails and pretend she's Scottish for a day! LOL!

Of course....when is it????? All day Saturday and Sunday.

Dilemma? Gabe was supposed to have Marc so I had planned things without having to run Marc anywhere.

So....do I tell Gabe he has to have Marc and get him to his testing because that is what was supposed to happen or just suck it up, cancel my Saturday plans to play taxi, and paste a smile on my face?

Put that way, it sounds totally selfish of me to be mad that I'm missing my stuff for my child. Bad mom.
