I got up early this morning when my older sister called in a panic needing a babysitter… No Problem I told her, bring Coley up… So I hurried to the post office to mail out the rest of my mortgage package and a package to my parents in Arizona… Had just gotten home when my sister dropped off her daughter… As she was here my phone started ringing, she saw that it was our grandma (from our mother’s side) and told me not to answer it, because Gram just wanted her to pick up fish dinners tonight…
No sooner had she left than Gram called back… She wasn’t looking for fish, but a ride to the doctor… She had blood tests done yesterday and the doctor wants to see her again today, with all of the medications she’s been taking… Of course hearing this Gram panics and thinks that she has some horrible disease… She’s in her early 80s… I told her not to worry it’s probably something with her meds or the doctor wouldn’t have asked her to bring them, and set about trying to find a spare car seat so the kids and I can run Gram to town this afternoon…
In calls my younger sister… Mom and Dad called from Arizona last night, Grandpa (from my father’s side) was taken to the hospital last night and it doesn’t look good, He’s in his late 80s… So Mom and Dad may be heading home…
So much for that package I just mailed out to them which contains their new credit and medical cards, along with the final papers from the lawsuit they were involved in…. This is where living in a small town comes in handy…. Quick call to the post office to see if they can hold the package so that I can pick it back up…. How many post offices would let you pick up a package that you’ve already mailed out…
All this and it’s only 10:30am here… Doesn’t bode well for how the rest of the day will go… Not to mention it’s a horribly yucky cold and rainy day…
So we’re off to take Gram to the Doctor, visit Grandpa at the hospital (if they’ll let the kids in), and who knows what else… So much for all that work I was going to finish up today… *scream* I was just starting to get caught up…
Hope everyone else’s day goes better than mine… BTW: TGIF???

Three women had a very late night drinking. They left in the early morning hours and went home their separate ways.
The next day, they all met and compared notes about who was drunker the night before.
The first girl claims that she was the drunkest, saying, “I drove straight home and walked into the house. As soon as I got through the door, I blew chunks.”
The second said, “You think that was drunk? Hell, I got into my car and wrapped my car around the first tree I saw. I don’t even have insurance!”
The third proclaimed, “Damn, I was the drunkest by far. When I got home, I got into a big fight with my husband, knocked a candle over, and burned the whole house down!”
The room was silent for a moment. Then, the first girl spoke out again, “Listen girls, I don’t think you understand. Chunks is my dog.”

The 5 Stages of Drunkenness:
Stage 1 - SMART
This is when you suddenly become an expert on every subject in the known Universe. You know everything and want to pass on your knowledge to anyone who will listen. At this stage you are always RIGHT. And of course the person you are talking to is very WRONG. This makes for an interesting argument when both parties are SMART.
Stage 2 - GOOD LOOKING
This is when you realize that you are the BEST LOOKING person in the entire bar and that people fancy you. You can go up to a perfect stranger knowing they fancy you and really want to talk to you. Bear in mind that you are still SMART, so you can talk to this person about any subject under the sun.
Stage 3 - RICH
This is when you suddenly become the richest person in the world. You can buy drinks for the entire bar because you have an armored truck full of money parked behind the bar. You can also make bets at this stage, because of course, you are still SMART, so naturally you will win all your bets. It doesn’t matter how much you bet because you are RICH. You will also buy drinks for everyone that you fancy, because now you are the BEST LOOKING person in the world.
Stage 4 - BULLET PROOF
You are now ready to pick fights with anyone and everyone especially those with whom you have been betting or arguing. This is because nothing can hurt you. At this point you can also go up to the partners of the people who you fancy and challenge them to a battle of wits or money. You have no fear of losing this battle because you are SMART, you are RICH and heck, you’re BETTER LOOKING than they are anyway!
Stage 5 - INVISIBLE
This is the Final Stage of Drunkenness. At this point you can do anything because NO ONE CAN SEE YOU. You dance on a table to impress the people who you fancy because the rest of the people in the room cannot see you. You are also invisible to the person who wants to fight you. You can walk through the street singing at the top of your lungs because no one can see or hear you and because you’re still SMART, you know all the words.

As if to prove the point of how bad we need a new house, everything that could go wrong around here lately has… The furnace keeps going down, light switches are breaking (in both the bathroom and our bedroom) and breakers are blowing like crazy, although we have nothing extra running at the time…
Maybe I jinxed myself by saying I needed things to slow down so that I could adjust… lol…
I guess I’ll just wait and see how today goes…
In just a little bit, my sister is dropping off my infant niece, MacKenzie, to spend the day with Auntie Leigh… She’s two months old and I’ve seen her maybe 8 times at the most… This is her first day away from her mom, as my sister just started back to work last night and needs to sleep today. She works 7pm to 7am at the local hospital maternity ward. Kenzie will probably cry all day for me the way things are going now… I just wonder how the dogs are going to handle it… I have a feeling Jack, my JRT isn’t going to like her… He’s used to being on my lap all day, and that won’t be possible with Kenzie here… To top it off, I get my other niece, Coley age 3, this afternoon when her dad goes to work… Working from home sometimes isn’t all it’s cut out to be… People forget that I have actual work to do and think of me as a stay at home ‘babysitter’… But my daughter loves having her cousins to play with…
Well, I’m off to get busy…. Have a Great Hump Day all!
