Another Day 2006

subconscious external justification amoung birthmothers in adoption

How can I avoid the ever growing laundry pile..let me count the ways.

1) Post a new bold tread about nothing….yeah, that will work!

So…I have an awful headache right now. I do believe we call it a hangover. It’s not my fault, really!. I wanted to go to bed early last night! But life happened.

My car is in the shop. Had to go in to fix a ton if issues..one of which was that the only door handle that = worked was the rear passage door. And only sometimes, if you YANKED real hard. This is apparently something that Passats go though..door handle failure. Yes, I have, when forgetting to not slam the door shut and leave it open a crack, climbed into my car though the hatchback. Very nice. The dealer has informed us that it costs FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS a handle to repair. Ouch. SO we opted for only the drivers side to get done. Screw them..the part costs 28$..Rye can do the rest himself. The rest of the fixers on this auto ..total..came out to be almost $3600.00…OMG! So we whittled it down and said ..not all right now thank you. Twelve hundred should do me just fine.
So the car has been at the doctors since Wednesday AM. That means we have to share the death mobile hunk of crap..errr.. Jeep.
Yesterday, my day went like this:
7:45 am take Garin to school WITH his bass and bass amp because he joined Jazz band
8:15 gather up the two male not quite kittens and secure in new cat carrier (purchased from Walmart at midnight the night before after working)and bring them to the ASPCA neuture clinic for their snip snip.
Home for coffee ( finally!!) and to have to deal with the panic that Anonymous posts subscribed and hunting down their location..till 11:30
Scarlett to school by 11:55
Then we had the marathon..
2:20 pick up Scarlett
Get Rye to work by 3 ish
Pick up Garin with bass and amp..at 3:10
Back to the clinic to get the new eunuch kitties by 3:40
Then home to pick up skateboard stuff and drop Garin off at Skate park..it’s 4;30 now
Tristan falls asleep in the car..so much for an early bedtime
Home..still ignored laundry..Aunt Becky stops over with belated Valentine’s day candy..which the kids do eat before dinner..great…major sugar rush
Make dinner, eat dinner..late because they were filled with candy.and then attempt to clean up kid’s messy rooms. Major whine fest with that..amazing how they are always too tired once I say it is time.
Go into my room to find that Tristan with his father;s obsession with clean laundry piles has thrown all the clean laundry off the bed and threw socks all over the room.
I try to get a nap while they are watching the “goodnight” Sprout show..but the dog keeps jumping on me..She likes to jion us on the family bedtime routine..and Garin returns from the skate park at this time to find me sleeping ..and MUST ask..”Oh, are you napping?” Is there a brain in there?
Then once in bed, I have to go get Rye from work, He is not quite done and the bosses wife says..”have a drink with me” ha hah ha..great
Then he has to have a drink too. I am like I just want to go to sleep, BUT the men’s freestyle skate competition i on..so I watch..and have another Scotch.
Then for some dumb reason, Rye feels he must call his friend Murry to come to the bar?? Murry lives 5 minutes from us in town. I want to go back to town, but now we have to wait for Murry to come to bumbfuck. About 45 minutes later, Murry calls and he has not yet left town..and now we are to go there??? WTF?
BUT first we have to wait for the other couple that was here at the bar to come back to bumbfuck as they have gone to and from town to another bar and managed to hit a deer on the way back. And Rye’s life will not be complete until he sees dead deer guts on this other guys Jeep.
So we see the guts, but now we have to wait for Lucille to close the bar because it’s not cool to leave her alone. She does this every night somehow aloe, but tonight she is helpless?
THEN we go to Murrys where I have to give decorating and furniture advise at 1:30 am on their new digs. OK. Does anyone know how tired I am? I got to bed at 2AM!!!

I soooo slept in today. I took a tylenol PM as soon as I got home..so I would HAVE to get some rest. I can’t move with that junk in my system. The kids had no school and I just didn’t care. Oh course, this meant when I did get up, that their rooms were trashed again..so I am NOT going to quickly vacuum them as I planned.
I did do two loads of laundry however. I have no idea what I have clean to wear to work tonight.
And I have to work Sat and Sunday since we still have 3 people out and one guy just got suspended for a week for being a jerk…so tonight it’s just me and Mer. Great.
I don;t know when I get my car back..so how am I getting to work tomorrow??? I guess I shall fly there.

It’s uber windy here today. I never did finish mopping all the floors..and now the kitchen floor needs it again. The kids keep on fighting. Garin like to make Scarlett scream..she has good lungs…did I mention my head hurts?

I DID manage to get new dye on my hair..as the nasty gray roots were showing, and take off the chipped French manicure of last week. Now I shall shower, and did though the unfolded pile of laundry..still on my bed..and expected to be on the floor when I get home tonight..and find some clothes. Wait for Rye o return with the hunk of junk deathmobil..err Jeep.

Yeah..it’s 2:30..I better get moving.

Chao bellas!

Musings of the Lame was started in 2005 primarily as a simple blog recording the feelings of a birthmother as she struggled to understand how the act of relinquishing her first newborn so to adoption in 1987 continued to be a major force in her life. Built from the knowledge gained in the adoption community, it records the search for her son and the adoption reunion as it happened. Since then, it has grown as an adoption forum encompassing the complexity of the adoption industry, the fight to free her sons adoption records and the need for Adoptee Rights, and a growing community of other birthmothers, adoptive parents and adopted persons who are able to see that so much what we want to believe about adoption is wrong.

  1. Oh you need a nice housekeeper who comes in a few hours a week and only does laundry.
    So happy that Garin is doing jazz. Yay!
    What a full day you had, I bet that’s just a normal day in your life too.

  2. okay…you just wore me out!

  3. I totally hate getting my car fixed, cause I can never trust ’em to do it right, and not break something else. Grr!

  4. Its very cute that Garin is doig Jaz..I think he is inspired by Max’s love of Jazz…

    This car place sucks..Rye was just saying that he thought it was good to bring the car to the dealer as they knew what they were doing…yeah..ripping us OFF! At least we know now what needs to be done and some we will do ourselves and the rest we will deal with at another place.
