Wouldn't Ya Know It!

Today was my first day back to work after my "isolation" last week with my son in the hospital. My neck was KILLING me all day...don't worry it's not meningitis, it's something much worse......OLD AGE! Sleeping on those hospital chair/foldout beds has my neck so messed up.

Driving home from work I remembered that my wonderful husband gave me a gift certificate to my favorite massage therapy place. I was thinking about it the whole way home from work as I kept reaching back to massage the huge lumps lining my vertebrae trying to ease my throbbing headache.

I picked up Elijah from school, drove a little too fast trying to get home to change and head over to get some relief. Elijah chatted away (he's actually excited to be back at school after his hospital stay). In the hospital one day he told me, "Mom, I'm tired of "OLD PEOPLE" conversation, I need to talk to my friends." "What are you talking about...I'm a young, cool mom!" I quickly shot back a little hurt that he thinks I'm old AND boring! "Well sorry but you are old now and we've spent to much time together this week," he replied with a smirk trying to make it seem like a joke. "Whatever Lije, you should be happy your not staying here all alone, and I know I'm a fun mom so you can't fool me!" He is a smart boy and left it at that.

Now where was I? Did I mention that I only got four hours of sleep last night? I'm out of my calcium magnesium, which is a natural cure to help you sleep, along with my neck pain. Okay sorry, I'm all over the place today!

So I get home check my e-mails change into my comfortable clothes, jump in the car and head over already visualizing how I will fall asleep during the massage and kill two birds with one stone. I go inside and see two ladies in front of me, "Sorry we are running a little behind can you come back at five?" says the man behind the counter. I'm a little worried...I don't have an appt. and for some reason they seem to be really busy. I ask him if he has any openings. "No, not today, we started running specials, 1 hr. massage for $20.00 on Tuesdays if you bring a friend. We have been really booked up." I YIGH YIGH...wouldn't ya know it!

Finally...A Quiet Weekend!

I can't believe it, I didn't have to rush around all weekend! The high school team had a bye this week which left us with only 1 Pop Warner game on Sat night at 7:00 p.m., instead of the usual four games a week. Don't get me wrong, "I LOVE me some football" but it was nice to catch up on some housework (it was getting disgusting) and just kick back, watch movies and sleep.

We were supposed to go to our friends 40th Birthday party on Saturday night, but after the football game (oh yeah, we KILLED the Fullerton Titans 28-0 & Elijah got another touchdown), we had to eat and then by the time we got home, we wouldn't have gotten to the party until around 11:00 p.m. Which would have been no big deal when we were younger, but MAN that's way late for us 40 somethings! So, I need to call tomorrow and apologize. I can blame it on my husband because he was more tired than I was...(whatever works right?)LOL!

Next week is going to be busy...I have an eye appointment (only 6 months past due), three chiropractic appts. (my neck and back have still been hurting really bad since my accident), a church class, four football games, the homecoming dance (shopping for a shirt/tie, and ordering flowers and taking pics). I have to try and get my son in to get his foot checked out again. He had an abnormal mole removed. It hasn't healed right and there is about a 2" big circle of brown wrinkle dead skin around it. It almost looks like a piece of leather, definitely NOT normal! Not to mention, my car had over $7,000.00 worth of damage and wont be ready till the end of the month. I received a letter from the guys insurance adjuster who said he only had $10,000.00 worth of coverage...it will end up costing more than that so I need to go through my insurance company...WHAT!?! That means I would have to pay a deductible (NO WAY am I spending any money because someone hit me!) So I might have to find an attorney now too! I YIGH YIGH!!!
One more thing to add to my week.

Oh and let me tell you about my rental car, whenever I back up it goes...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP. It is soooo loud that everyone turns to look. Then they start laughing at us. My kids just die of embarrassment. So of course I have to make it worse, I roll the windows down and yell out, "Everyone watch out...I'm backing up!" Which makes the kids want to crawl under the seat! The rental car guy said that I can bring it back in and they will turn it off, but the place is about 40 minutes away in traffic. I decided it's not often that I get to pay my kids back for their smart mouths and attitudes, what better way than to embarrass them daily!

Did I tell you how much I'm looking forward to my week, LOL!!!! Anyways, I love a pity party so feel free to leave me some love...I think I'll need it!
