Monday Musings -60- Dale Carnegie
"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon, instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today. " - Dale Carnegie

What A Face....
Friday, June 26, 2009
Better to be pissed off than pissed on....
Last weekend the boys, Big B ((10)) and Little B ((4)), spent time at a resort w/ my husband and FIL for Father's Day.
The day they arrived was spent unpacking quickly and then getting to the pool until evening. They returned to the room to change into dry clothes for dinner.
Big B was told to step into the bathtub to take his swimming trunks off so he was not dripping onto the floor. Little B went in to use the bathroom. From what I am told the toilet was no more than a foot from the bathtub. A scream was heard from the bathroom.
When my husband reached the door, he saw Little B standing at the toilet but turned toward the bathtub - peeing on Big B! Not only that, he was laughing hysterically while doing it. He turned when he saw his Dad but Big B continued to yell out.
My husband told Big B to take a shower to wash the pee off of him and Big B's screeching response to that was:
"The acids are already burning into my skin!!"

Monday Musings -59- Bob Dylan
"Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet." - Bob Dylan
((Barbara at Candy hearts and Paper Flowers is on a bloggy hiatus. She said:
"I'll start blogging again in July, but for now I need a break..... Monday Musings will not be coming back here, I love finding and sharing quotes, but I'd prefer to go back to doing it when something is poignant and on my own schedule. I've offered up Monday Musings to the person who inspired me to start it in the first place."
...... and yes, I do want to continue on w/ Monday Musings. I had planned to anyway, but was unsure whether I would take it on, like really take it on. I don't know that her readers will come over to participate or if my readers will help in giving it a boost here. We shall see. Thank You for thinking of me Barbara.

Mexican, Monthly and Migraines
The M 'n' M 'n' M's of my week.
Sunday afternoon we met my MIL (mother in law) at a restaurant known for their amazing pies, to enjoy a treat ((I chose pecan -yummy)). Somewhere in the middle of it the whispering began between Big B and my MIL.
The plan was made for the boys to return w/ her to her house out of town and the visit length would be a "take it one day at a time" plan. I was in it just for the pie, and along the way my kids disappeared. They were there all week and have now gone w/ their Dad for a Father's Day weekend w/ my FIL (father in law).
I won't see them until Sunday, and wow is that hard for me. It is by far the longest I've ever been away from them. Trust me when I say that they are doing better w/ it than I am. When asked how many days Lil B wants us to wait to get him, he said "30 80 days".
It worked out well because my monthly hit this week ((sucks to be a husband wanting sex, sorry J)). And w/out giving many gross details, I had a mild case of food poisoning from mexican food, and spent an evening and night -miserable-. Suffering in a way that only food poisoning can give, if you've had it, you know.
I will have to break down and go to the Dr for these migraines. I simply cannot take them anymore and pretend that Advil does anything to touch them at all. The migraines this week brought something new. I have come to expect the pain, the nausea, blurred vision and complete intolerance to sound and light. Now they are also bringing a clammy sweat all over my body. It is the oddest thing.
So that is where I have been this week blogosphere.

It Is Friday, Right?
Because it kinda feels like a fuck you Monday. I opened my eyes to a migraine.
Shortly followed by the groan of the to-do list going through my mind.
Only stopped by the call of hungry kids. No milk or bread, lost debit card and no cash= a trip to the bank.
Turn on the tv as we slowly make ourselves presentable and see a massive storm headed right for us.
This speeds up the process considerably. When attempting to wash my hands ((already covered in soap)), I realize the water is off. WTF!
Sure enough on the door hung a tiny slip of paper stating that the water had been turned off for nonpayment. Huh?! I mean ok, must be true but how did that happen?
Add that to the near-top of my list. After the bank and storm. We rush out the door.
3 miles South on Yale and a right turn..... to see this....
.... coming from the West. We nervously waited for the teller to do her thing. I made it breezy by discussing the clouds w/ the boys. They were so low and moving fast.
We had barely pulled out from under the drive-thru when the first drops of rain fell and the wind picked up.
I must say, it was the scariest time driving home in that storm. All I could think was "just let me get the boys home safely". Not a prayer really but more of a self-pep talk.
I couldn't see past the end of my car and hit many spots of water where I was sure my car would be flooded and stall.
Leaving us stranded and inevitably hit by Joe or Sue Schmo that also could not see beyond the nose of their vehicle.
Not fun.
But.... we made it safely albeit shaken up. Then we sat for the hour it took for the storm to finish its business w/ Tulsa.
I am always amused watching the weatherman discuss Oklahoma storms w/ the level of excitement one would expect from sex.
All in all the day ended well. The water oversight was paid and the water is back on. The daily to do list done and the migraine and neck pain finally tackled by kind Mr. Darvocet.
And now, I am DONE w/ this Friday.
((Special Thanks to Nikki for toasting me at her get together miles away. "To Monique; Fuck You Friday!!!" LOL))
