Here's the Afternoon



So......Here's how latest saga from The G.B.
on traveling at the holidays.

If it's not one thing....it's another. 

Today has been officially wiped of my calender.

This is how it went down this afternoon.



So, I got a good nap from 11am till about 1pm, after being up since 4am to the airport and back home again. 

Came into the office see what's going on......
Scott came in like three times asking me to come watch "This Old House"
About how to wrap a furnace.
I kindly replied, "No, Thanks" 
S-   "Would you like me to make a salad?"
K-   "No, I don't want the kitchen all messed up, so NO".
S-  "Damn, Damn, Damn.....{from the other room}
K-  "What happened?"
S-  "I sliced my finger tip off".
K-  " What did you not understand about, PLEASE don't make a salad."
S- " I was making a CUCUMBER SALAD, not a SALAD. 

More bickering and eye rolling....

Off to URGENT CARE.
Line about 2 hours long.
K-  "Call me at home when you are done"
S-  " I forgot my phone"
K- " Here take mine and call me at home"
S-  " Can you bring me back my KINDLE, so I have something to read here."
K -  " Seriously,  you want me to go home in this rain and make another trip back here, so you have something to do"
K-  "You have plenty to do here......like think about listening to your wife next time"

Can I just wipe this day off the calendar.
Who knows what they will be doing for him at UC.  But, I for one am going into the kitchen and throw all this salad stuff right out.

Me, I'm having Panda Express, tonight. 

 
 
GOD BLESS the HOLIDAYs






21 Fun Thoughts from Friends:

Pray tell, WHY am I laughing aloud at this? Perhaps because I can SOOOOO relate! They are men - we just have to understand that the brain power is a bit, say, lacking! I'm so sorry your day has gone this route! You WILL laugh about it at some point in the future, I promise. I remember my husband's adventure with sawing up the Christmas tree trunk...using the flimsy trash can to rest the trunk upon. Ooooooops, slip...trunk thrust to the left, saw through the thumb (which clearly didn't thrust along with the trunk!). Me: And you were doing this bare handed without any gloves or anything? Him: Uhm, yeah, I guess that wasn't such a good idea. Me: Keep your hand above your heart so you don't bleed to death!
Dumba _ _! Hugs to you, dear Kate. Just remember, he can't help it! LOL

Poor old Scottie. Give him some sympathy, you know how sooky men are. ( and how annoying they can be!!)
Sometimes I wonder why we build up so much stress at Christmas, it takes the enjoyment out of it.
Merry Christmas Kate and Scott
Cheers

Oh my goodness! Even though the poor man is seriously injured I feel sorry for you. I don't blame you for being irritated. Enjoy your Panda Express. I don't men can help it, I really don't. Merry Christmas.

I laughed out loud. Then read it to my Hubby who being a man didn't see as much humor in all this as I did. Kate I have only just met you and already I have to say that I love you! I needed this today. I have cleaned house all day to prepare the house for a showing right after Christmas. Woke up with my second cold sore in one week. But now I have had a good giggle and my rough day doesn't seem all that rough any more and I have you and you sweet fingertip missing Hubby to thank for that. I hope tomorrow brings you the joy you have given me today!

Kate, we are on the same path this week. I was in the ER with my oldest Monday at 11:30 PM. He cut his lip inside and out from ducking his head under the hand dryer in the bathroom at the movies to look in the garbage bin for the phone he lost. When the motion detector went off on the dryer it startled him and he hit his mouth on the edge of the trash can. $ for the ER, $ for the lost phone and me up until 1:30 AM. Yikes.

What a frustrating day for you both! I can't imagine getting up that early to go to the airport then have to come home again. And poor Scoots! I hope things go better for you both tomorrow. We're here for you.

You know how they say if you are frustrated it is good to write down what is bugging you and then crinkle it up and throw it away, and be rid of it for once and for all...well what better therapy than to write it down and let friends read it and have a field day with it, lol. I feel sorry for your Scooter, but even sorrier for you. Do men ever listen? I think not. I believe there is a gene lacking, or maybe it would be the "missing link" we have heard about all our lives. Men can't figure it out because the missing link is all about them. Thank goodness we women can think outside of the box. I wonder why he ended up fixing a salad when he was watching This Old House...did the guys on there suggest a salad??? LOL. Poor guy, and here I am laughing at him. Just glad he wasn't seriously hurt that it required an ambulance. I know, I know, it musta been hard to keep from clobbering him, lol. You hang in there girl, and remember GOOD WILL TO MEN....gotta love them (they help pay for the yarn).

Although it's not funny I can't help laughing,... sounds like me and my hubby. He never listens either and will never admit his wife was right. Hope Scooter gets better.

Merry Christmas!

Oh, my! Poor Scott! What a trying time you both have had. I hope things have settled down and his finger isn't too damaged. We're resting before heading over to my brother's for Christmas Eve. Tomorrow we will spend with my Hubby's twin brothers and their families. Our drive to Ohio was very uneventful...traffic not too bad and no snow at all (darn!).
