Today's Top Ten Trials
1. I didn't hear my alarm go off. But no worries, Tianna finally got her alarm set appropriately, AM instead of PM (and she kept wondering why it wasn't going off in the morning...) and she came in and woke me up at 6:36 and made the bus at 6:43. It's just a bit of a mad dash. It would never happen with Nicole.
2. I took my mom to her neurologist appointment today and the doctor was running over forty minutes late. And I forgot to bring my book with me.
3. When the doctor finally made it in he danced around the issue of ruling out multiple myeloma very deftly. I am still undecided at a gut level about how I feel about this. Maybe I just have too much medical knowledge. Multiple myeloma is a blood plasma cancer, and I know that using the word cancer causes people to freak out. It would definitely have that effect on my mom. So for the time being they are hedging about a spot on the MRI that might possibly be a growth that could be responsible for proteins in her blood that could be causing her neuropathy that is responsible for her falls. Did you follow that? You would have to have a medical background to not have it go completely over your head.
4. My back windshield wiper and one of my license plate lights became unhinged and are hanging pathetically off the back of my car.
5. I have mentioned several times that I am a techno peasant and I don't know how to readjust the settings on my computer that are presumably not allowing me to fill in information on forms. Oh, actually, it will let me fill it in,it just won't post it to where it needs to go and then it shunts me to a page that says Internet Explorer Cannot Find Web page over and over and over again. Do you know how frustrating that is?
6. Nicole used an exceptionally ugly tone of voice after school that once again tested my boundaries, but I prevailed and she lost her trip to the Salvation Army.
7. After school Nicole saw Matt's ancient cat pee on my living room wall. Yup, there it was, fresh cat pee dripping down through the cracks of the molding I had lovingly hand stained. Not to mention the smell.
8. The kids at swimming stroke clinic are all averse to doing flip turns and touching the wall on their bellies when they are swimming backstroke. What's up with that?
9. I drove Nicole to cheer leading practice and sat and read Churched while she was there. The only problem was I didn't realize my headlights were on the entire time. You guessed it, my battery died.
10. I actually had a cooked meal to serve when we got back from cheering and Tianna excused herself saying she'd be right back and never returned, and my mom made a comment about Nova being on, so Howie left the table, turned on the TV and plopped in front of it. So much for a family dinner. Two of the family members left prematurely. I wasn't happy and did say that leaving the table to turn the TV on when others were still eating was not part of the family dinner plan I had in mind. Of course that makes me a bit of a shrew...
OK, so it's all fairly normal day in the life stuff...you're not alone!
Peace.
