Tons to do and not much time so here goes a quickie:
1)Nathan still has a fever. This morning it is around 102. Ugh. Time to fill that Rx his doctor wrote for him. Would not/could not eat breakfast, said his throat hurt. Was begging to go to neighbor's garage sale and get a toy. We barely got there (4 houses up the hill from us) and he was almost crying his belly hurt he might throw up, so we grabbed a toy gun and left. (Sydney got an unopened Barbie for $1, nice!)
2)Found out Dan's mom had retirement party at work yesterday and she mentioned Dan ran down to go to it so that was where he was when his office couldn't find him. Typical, he didn't want to ask for time off so he just 'disappeared'. He dropped kids off this morning on the way to work. Then came back 10 minutes later with a load of their stuff from his trunk. I walked out to see why he came back and as he was unpacking he was chewing out an employee: "You need to find out where the f@ck that meat is and get the g*d-d@mn truck wherever the sh!t it is supposed to be", something like that. I would NOT enjoy having him for a boss!!
3)My good luck streak continues. Nathan still has fever. Last night I had to go to the eye doc on the way to working the baseball game (ticket taker for HS boys' baseball). Nathan had to come along as Dan was not off work yet. Well went in for my contact check-up as I got new ones last week at my annual appointment. Was in there 10 minutes and came out to a flat tire. Dan was expecting me to be at b-ball at 5:00 so I texted to tell him I had a flat at eye doc and was running behind. Then called Athletic Director, then tire store!
Tire guy came, filled up my tire, I followed him to the store. Got out and it was hissing madly. Ugh! So he gave Nathan and I a ride to the ball game and I left my car there. They are putting 2 new tires on the front while it's there, I needed it done but kept procrastinating. Maybe this was God's way of saying "Wake up! Take care of your tires!" Last time I let them get too bald I had a blowout. Not good...
4)Last night Dan picked up Nathan from ball field at 6:00. He had texted earlier to see if I needed help with flat tire but I told him I had it covered. By 6:30 he texted again, "When do you think you will be done" I thought he was going to offer to give me a ride, as I planned to walk home from the ball field. I didn't answer...
Nope! He texted again, "I will have to go back into work. We just got cleared to trade with China." For those not in the meat industry, China has a block on all meat trade with North America and has for awhile because of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, commonly known as Mad Cow.
Anyway China just gave Canada clearance to trade I guess. Dan followed up that text with 5 texts in a row that were apparently some sort of new article/press release on the issue. Not sure if he thought I didn't believe him, if he wanted to show off, or if he wanted me to know more about it?
I didn't reply so then a few minutes later he sent, "I really need to try to go back in and mom and dad are out of town and my house is not fit for a sitter."
Finally I replied, "Good for you guys. Not sure when I will be done here as game started late." Our official was stuck at College World Series in Omaha.
As I got home at 8:00 he texted, "Never mind." I replied, "Took too long for you? I had plans." He replied, "No not that." I didn't reply so not sure what happened. Maybe he figured out the kids are HIS responsibility when he has them!!
