The incident with hubby yesterday left me quite perplexed. I dared to ask him to explain what it was all about...that led to a huge argument, with nothing settled still. I've felt sick all day...way too much stress in my life. time to knuckle down and make some very important decisions about my life. Where is it going? Where do I want it to go? How can I accomplish my goals?
DD14 did much better with school work today. She started taking a new medication--Vyvanse--on Saturday. She's no longer eating us out of house and home, and can concentrate on things better. So far, overall mood hasn't been negatively affected. I hope it lasts. Ordered her a new swimsuit, so that she can go to the pool every weekend. The kids all need more exercise--especially this time of year.
DD12 had a meltdown over a paper she has to do about "Is progress good or bad?" She asked me, wanting a simple answer, a simple topic to start with...and that didn't happen, because I didn't know what she wanted. Once she was more specific, we narrowed it down to a couple of options. I'll check with her in the morning to see if she completed it.
At some point today, the girls told me that Lily's tail looked funny. I didn't think much of it, as they're always worried that something is wrong with one pet or another. Around 4:30, DD12 showed me what she was talking about. Looks like her tail is broken. Lily is our 75 pound German Shepherd/Beagle mix. She looks nothing like either a German Shepherd or a Beagle. She's just big. She is constantly wagging her tail, banging it into everything. It wasn't caught in a door, and no one pulled it...so we're sort of clueless. But, it's definitely swollen, definitely bent, and definitely feels broken. She's not able to move it. The vet will see her in the morning, couldn't get her in this evening, and in the meantime is on aspirin. Apparently dogs don't digest the enteric coating on most aspirin, and neither Rite Aid nor Family Dollar had regular uncoated aspirin. I did get one that says "lightly coated" and no where does it say that it's "enteric coated", so hopefully she was able to digest it and get some relief.
Of course I had to work this evening...so after getting the aspirin, I made some turkey noodle soup. It is sooo good. Had 1 bowl of that, then headed to the dungeon to start my shift. Worked from 7-11:40 instead of midnight tonight. I was greatful, as I was watching the clock constantly...counting the minutes from 11:00 until we were told to wrap up for the night.The job isn't difficult, just boring.
Tomorrow will be a busy day. Dog to the vet at 9:45, back home, and then the girls have orthodontist appointments at 12:30...have to be home by 11:30 to get them there on time....and the vet is 30 minutes in the opposite direction. Then I'll do some laundry, get them through their lessons, make dinner, and work again...7-12. Maybe the shift will get cut a little short again tomorrow night.
I really need to do something else with my life.
Almost forgot!!!! A couple of days ago, one of my favorite Ginsu knives broke. The blade came right out of the handle! I called today, and they are just sending me a new one! They don't even want me to send the broken one in...and didn't even ask for any proof that I own one to begin with! I was surprised. Their customer service gets an A++++++++++++++ from me!
