Quiet...

I know I have been quiet lately. It is not because of lack of things to post. I have plenty but I am still on the mini-laptop and not happy about it. I tried two used keyboards on the main computer and they were both bad then the mouse went bad too. Oh Boy!

So the latest thing my mom's sister has done to send us in a tizzy.....

We had grandchildren day last Sunday. All of the grandchildren went up at some point and took the things we wanted. I took some knickknacks and then requested the antique tea cart if no one else wanted it. My Sister did want it but is going to take it until I have a place of my own because she knows I did not take much. My sister took some things. My brother and sister-in-law took some things. My cousin took a lot. I mean a lot. She has not had a house for 2 years so she took a lot of dressers and furniture. My Mom's sister kept saying,, Well after the grandkids are gone there will not be anything to sell at an estate sale. Then she got even more upset when my decided to take the antique sewing machine. She knew it was worth a lot of money but it really was not. Her husband followed us all in the house watching every item that we were taking. That was not his business.

Well she called today and accused the grandchildren of taking things to sell and that she was not talking about her daughter. So once again she makes accusatory statements about my Mother's family. None of us took anything to sell, We took a few things to put in out homes so they would not be sold and stayed in the family. We all also agreed should we not want something years down the road that we would offer it to another family member before selling it or giving it away. Where out of all this she decided that we were trying to make a profit off my grandparents belongings, I don't know. See she is the one trying to make the profit,. My Mom finally finished the conversation by saying.....Once again, you are making accusations that are untrue about my family members and my family members would not take something that I could make a profit with to benefit themselves.

This woman is unbelievable. She wouldn't even let the man that stayed with my grandfather for a few weeks  for free take some old barrels from the garden. She was going to make him buy them. The things I have found for sale are unbelievable. An empty Glade glass from a candle,an empty Yankee Candle glass. It is crazy.

Time is ticking until we are done with her... and my Mom still has not seen the will.

Frustrated

Frustrated because I am not feeling good. I accepted a job tomorrow morning to substitute high school and I just do n0t feel good. Is there such a thing as a sub for a sub? LOL! I am too early in the game to cancel a job.
Frustrated because I intended to go to the store to get some stuff for lunch tomorrow. I am not familiar with the school's lunch line for teachers so I always pack something until I know and am comfortable. I was at Big Lots and they had fresh bread so I grabbed some sandwich thins to make tuna.
Frustrated because after I got home I discovered we had tuna and no onion. I can eat tuna salad with no onion no way.
Not frustrated but thankful that we had peanut butter and jelly.
Frustrated at my progress of Christmas shopping.
Frustrated that when I hit spellcheck that I had left the second r off of the word frustrated, not once but twice.
Just plain frustrated right now in general.

I'm Sorry for being so mean today but...

I really am sorry for being mean today. It started off a good day. I woke up early, took a shower and took my nephew to soccer camp. I took advantage of being at the Y for his camp and went upstairs to work out. I was feeling great. I decided to get a water from the vending machine and it just would not take my dollar. I then decided to get munchkin some animal crackers. I pushed the number and they got stuck. I was a little peeved but not totally peeved until the other mother came walking out with two bags of cheetos and the bag of animal crackers. I think they were probably mine. Soccer camp ended at noon and my sister wanted us to go meet her for lunch at work so she could see munchkin. Oh did I tell you I changed my day off so we could go to Water Country today after camp because the rest of the week is booked. Well we finally took off for Water Country at 2ish and arrived at 3ish.
Anyone locally knows Water Country is spread out and you can not let a almost 6 year old decide where we go and when because he will take you across the park five times rather than hitting the spots in a methodical order. Today I was in methodical order mood which caused my mom to get mad at me because the munchkin was not getting his way. We did go to everything he wanted to go to just not in his order.
Did I mention our cousin was with us, she is 12. Oh and she sings along to every song on the radio and was about to drive me crazy, I mean every song. Then she starts to argue with my nephew about a song lyric and really he is almost 6 it is not worth arguing over and I told her that in a not so nice way. I give her credit though because she was a great playmate until one river, Hubba Hubba Highway. This ride you just float and jets push you around. Weak swimmers wear a vest and good swimmers wear one to float. Well my nephew can not swim so I have to keep pace with him but my cousin kept pushing him in the jets and he would take off and I could not catch up with him. Not good since he can not swim. One time she grabbed him and he went under and scared the lifeguard and me both. I told both of them over 6 times to stop. They did not listen and my nerves were shot so I grabbed him to exit. Oh boy, he had a few things to say to me in a disrespectful manner and smacked me. We had quite the discussion when we got out and it was ugly. My mom walked up on the end of it and played the bad aunt guilt trip." What has he done, he has been perfect all day." He stands and smiles. So Yes I got more aggravated.

So now we are leaving and off to get some dinner. The kids decide on McDonald's. Well I rarely eat burger fast food and McDonald's is one of my least favorite places. Every once in a blue moon I may stop for a double cheeseburger but that is rare but the kids wanted nuggets, so off we go. I decided to get a snack and get something I like better later after we take the kids home. Well I looked at the menu and decided that I had not had one of their grilled chicken bacon salads and would get that for dinner instead of something for a snack. Well I wait and wait to get waited on and I give my order to a non-English speaking girl . She turns to her manager and he says.... We don't have any salads. I did walk away mad and told them McDonald's was useless but see I was very frustrated at this point. I ate nothing while the kids and my mom ate but see I was frustrated. I had finally decided that McDonald's had something I liked and then told they don't have it. I was disappointed. I know I should have ordered something else but nothing else was worth the calories to me. We left and thankfully there was a Subway across the highway. We stopped and I ate in the car but when we pulled up , do you know what both kids said.... I love Subway, why didn't we go here for dinner? Oh the frustrations that could have been spared.

So if you saw me and think you knew me today, I am sorry I was so mean. I really am a very sweet person usually. We all have our off days and today was mine.

One last thing, thankfully my sub kept my mouth busy because my cousin proceeded to sing all the songs on the radio the whole way home. Ohh is she glad my mouth was stuffed because I really did not want to tell her to "Be Quiet" or the not so nice version of that either.

I do hope tomorrow is not so frustrating and quite peaceful.
