People

My biggest pet peeve is when people say they are going to do something or be somewhere at a certain time and are late. This has happened to me twice this week, and I am on major let down right now. First off the night that nephew was born, I was suppose to met my mom at 6:30 to go see the little guy because we had a guy coming to the house at 5:30 to look at the gutted bathroom. John informs me that after this guy leaves he has to go and drop off our taxes. Thinking to myself I knew that it was not going to look good for me meeting up with my mom at 6:30. Well, after a hour of pacing the house, he finally shows up. We go right the bathroom and I tell him what I need him to do, and I can do the minor repairs. By the time we get done talking it is 7:00, luckly John said he would just have his brother come over and get the taxes and I left. But I was irritated because I was running late, and I hate running late.
Tonight it happens again. My girlfriend was suppose to come over and have some drinks with me at 7:00, so I did what I had to do and made sure I was ready. But after an hour I knew she wasn't coming. I don't understand why she didn't call and just say, "hey, I am running late, or I am not coming". Instead I sit here waiting and wondering if everything is ok. She finally called, and we talked a little, but she said she wasn't coming which just irritated me more because I sort of changed all my plans for the night so we could catch up and vent to one another.
All I went from people is a little respect and not to say they are going to do something when deep down inside they don't want to. This friend has done it too many times lately that I am tired of it. And second of all, if you say you are going to be somewhere at a certain time then make sure you are there, and if you are running late or busy with something else give the person a call and tell them you are late. It is really not that hard of a thing to do. Again, RESPECT!

Baby Marlow

So this morning when I woke up I checked my phone and there was a text from my sister in law that her water broke at 12.30 and she was headed to the hospital. Being so excited I called my brother to get the information and to see if there was a new baby in our expanding family. He told me that there was no baby yet, but she was going to be induced this morning because in fact her water did break but she was only dilated to 1 cm. So my day will be a day of waiting for the call and going out to buy the new mom and dad a special gift. I know the day is meant to buy the baby a gift but what about the mom. No one ever brings gifts for them and they are the ones who do all the work and really deserve something special. I will make another blog when my little nephew makes his appearance in this world.

Weather

Ok, what is going on with this weather? I know we live in the midwest and should not really expect to much warm weather. But how can it be so nice one day and the very next day be cold and miserable. Everyone in my house is getting a bad case of cabin fever and I can not take it anymore. They are saying snow tonight. If that happens, I am packin up the car tomorrow and leaving for somewhere warm where my kids can get outside and burn off all the energy that they seem to have all the time. (no not really but wish I could)

Wednesday

Last night was fun until Jordan came home and dropped her phone in the toilet. She ran into her room and decided that using her hair dryer was going to fix it. Well, it didn't. She was in tears and very upset, and so was I. She always has that phone in her hand so I was upset that she could not even go into the restroom and do her thing without the darn thing. I yelled at her when I should not have reacted that way. The whole reason I think I was upset was because this is the third phone she has had in three years. I can't keep buying her new phones. She needs to take better care of them and I give her the benefit of the fact that she is going to responsible and be able to take care of her things.
This morning she woke up and the phone was fine. She keep her bedroom fan on to keep it cool in there. I let her know that I was exteremly sorry for reacting the way I did.
After all that craziness the day was pretty good. Did some running around looking for my new bathroom vanity, sinks, lights, medicine cabinet and floor. I found something different at every store I want to. Now I need to research a little more and make sure I want these things and am getting the best price. At 5.30 I was ready to take Jordan and her friend to the airport to go visit her grandpa for spring break. I decided to call the airport and thank goodness I did because the plan was delayed until 11.15. Originally they were to leave Detroit at 7.15. Again I am so glad I called because we would have been there for hours.
so know I am sitting her waiting for her to call me and tell me she is safely in the sunny state of Flordia.
