Monday, Who Needs You?

Today, it's becoming ridiculous. I hurt. My cleaning help injured herself and frankly I don't care if the floors are dirty today. I took Riley to Boo's and stayed until lunch. The babies are a much more pleasant distraction than TV. Not that mine's working properly. I buggered off and instead of trying to sleep (which I would have failed at, trust me) I called the insurance about my pills. They do not care about my pain or to explain themselves. I stayed on the phone while the form they needed was faxed to the Ortho.

Don't get excited yet, once they get it back it's 24-72hrs before I can get my medicine. I decided at that point I would use the last hour of quiet and whatever adrenaline I could muster to go to the craft store. I needed retail therapy, art therapy and a purpose that didn't involve interacting with other humans just then. Luckily, not many people go at 2pm on Monday even during "coupon craziness" or whatever it's called. Which means two things: 1)Space right up front and 2)The electric cart was free!! That has NEVER happened before.

I snatched that sucker up, thanked God for this bright spot in my day and zipped off to shop. I got everything I needed and then some. I used 4 or 5 coupons saving about $23. I was pleased. I had projects!

I got home put my stuff down and went to fetch Isaac. Now I had two requests via messenger niether of which appealed to me. First to call the cable company. That call resolved nothing. Second to pick up dinner ingredients. Even less fun there. No electric carts at the grocery store at 5:30. Grumble. In between Isaac had two meltdowns one was over whether or not he's on the naughty list (in September!) and the other over addition yes adding numbers together.

Somehow, I kept my temper even though it all. I survived and then the unspeakable happened. Riley lost her security object at Boo's house. Her muffin. No one could find it and I was rushing and they were rushing. She did ok until bedtime and then she didn't. We did everything we could to calm her and she went to sleep, but Mike was worried she'd be up in the night looking for it. So he went to Boo's when they got home with his head lamp (No joke) to find it. In the end the muffin was returned. Yay!!

I am wired between the pain and anxiety about seeing the new Ortho tomorrow. I may even bring Riley to ensure an even emotional state. I don't know.
