For all of us old timers, do you remember last year how I flipped when it was already halfway through January? Well, guess what!! It is that time of year again!!!
The 16th! Halfway through Jan. *shakes head*
Just crazy how fast everything goes.
Yesterday, I took Scott to the bus, roads seemed fine, so I geared up to go to work. By the time I took Cait to the bus a little over an hour later, they were getting really slippery. My MIL suggested I work from home, and get the rest of the accounting done. I worked for almost 3 hours and have another hour or two to put in today. So it worked out not so bad.
And good news- the car issue worked out. Gary calmed down and realized that our best option is to keep the car, Yay! The last thing I wanted to do today in this freezing weather was to be walking around car dealerships.
Did you guys here about the plane that landed in the Hudson River? It was all over our local news, and the only thing Ii could think of was how cold those people were. I could barely stand being outside dry- but these poor people were coming off the plane, soaked. I am so glad they all got out safely. but it makes me shiver just thinking of the cold!
LindaP- Glad you are back home and I really hope that your house stays warm enough. Fingers crossed that Mr Crabby Pants is better too.
LOL at your interesting girl.
I don't know if it more of the area I live in (grew up in NYC suburbs) but that look is very common around here. Scott has a classmate who's nickname is Skittles b/c her hair is literally every color of the rainbow! But I am happy for both of you- that she is getting her life turned around, and that you had a great chance to see beyond the "outside" and find the intelligent girl inside. You both rock!
Sandra- another thing you can try is to call the med manufacturer and tell them your situation. My SIL used to work for a pharma company and they put aside a certainamount of meds/money to help people who don't have insurance. We still have coverage so we haven't tried it yet, but she keeps reminding me that is an option when our insurance ends.
Also stay on top of the state insurance. NJ has some good programs to help kids, but it takes a while to apply and get accepted- we are still waiting and it has been 7 weeks since I applied.
Good luck- we are here for you!
Oh No Tali! That is a bad sign
But if it is any consolation, I have had those days when I getting the kids their milk for b-fast, the wine/beer in the fridge would look pretty good....
ME- hope that things calm down and that you can get those challenges done. I know I would be stressing if I were racing. Hope you are not stressing too much! Have a great long weekend!
Sally- I am glad Penny is ok. And what an interesting way to "raise consciousness" (not really the right words....but can't explain what I mean) about pro-life issues. Good convo starter, maybe.... YKWIM!
yeah, and good luck keeping them calm.... why do the vets even bother with that line?
Yay for YMG! He knows how to treat a lady!
I gotta go- get the car warmed up.... I will be back.
(I really wish I had my remote start installed!)
