One of those weeks...

Have you ever just had on of those weeks??? I will try not to go into too much detail because this could turn into a very long, rambling blog so I will just hit the high points...

MONDAY
-Got some troubling news from my best friend and my heart absolutely aches for her and she is a thousand miles away from me and I can't physically be there for her right now.

TUESDAY
-Work!!! Let's just say I was on-call and it was crazy!
-My mother locked her keys in her car and we had to be at a doctor's appointment in half an hour.
-Her doctor's appointment.
-When I picked Landon up from school, his teacher said "I need to talk to you." You know it isn't going to be good when the teacher says that instead of "I have something to tell you." Big difference! Apparently Landon refused to clean up his toys all day and would cry real tears anytime they tried to talk to him about it. He is so tender-hearted. Wonder where he gets that from? So, the whole way home he moped and wasn't himself at all.
-Got a call from the nursing home where my father is and he was not having a good day. He was hallucinating about some very disturbing things so I had to try to calm him down.
-Tuesday evening was more work!!! Ugghhhh!

WEDNESDAY
-Good news is that Landon was back to normal and his teachers said he was his normal wonderful self.
-Ok, so compared to the first part of the week, Wednesday wasn't all that bad really.

THURSDAY
-As I was about to fix Landon dinner, my brother called and three of his children were at a "spaghetti dnner" at school and he was stuck in traffic and they were waiting with teacher to be picked up. Would I mind getting out in the traffic and picking them up?? Well, it only took ten minutes to get across the Highway to get to the school and then then the teacher who was with the kids says, "I need to talk to you." Not again.... Anyway, they didn't get to eat and so we stopped at the McDonald's drive-thru on the way home... 5 happy meals!!! So much for a quiet evening at home with my Mom and Landon. But I also have to say that Landon enjoyed the excursion and is always happy to see his cousins and what kid doesn't like McDonalds.

Sprinkle throughout the week the fact that my dogs have been sick and decided to periodically throw up on my recently cleaned carpets. By the time Friday arrived I was ready for it. Friday went pretty well all around. I even got to see my Dad and he was doing much better. And I actually do have some fun plans for the weekend since Landon is staying with his Daddy.

So, next week has to be better, right??? That's what I keep telling myself.

On a positive note, K&B Toys has been having a "going out of business" sale and Landon's Gi Gi and I racked up some really cheap toys and games, including twister which is an absolute hoot to play with Landon.
