A day in the life


 I got home late last night as I had gone to LiLi's graduation from kindergarten....pictures to follow.  I had met Mark & Dani at their house & rode to school with them.  I decided to leave my purse in the car & just threw my glasses in my camera purse in case I needed them.

I got up up the un-godly hour of somewhere around 2:50am & left the house at 4:00am.  My commute to work has been a nightmare this year as they are working on the western gateway bridge going over the river & it is now only one lane in each direction with all kinds of delays at any hour of the day or night.  Coupled with them now working on 890 which is the highway I take after the bridge.  They mostly work on that at night closing on or off ramps & reducing it down to one lane from three with these huge glaring work lights.  I  can't imagine what genius decided all this needed to be done this summer but I swear it's some form of torture.  This morning it felt like I was on a weird carnival ride!

Anyway I finally made it to work only to discover I hadn't picked up my camera purse so did not have my glasses.  I made the following phone call:

Me:  "Hey Hon I forgot my glasses"

Popster:  "Huh"

Me:   " I have to have them!  I can't work without them"

Popster:  "You expect me to drive all the way there with your glasses?"

Me:  "Never mind I'll manage " (slamming down the phone)

I went down to get some carts out & found a pair of glasses in the lost & found box that's in the starter's shed.  They weren't exactly the right prescription but I figured they'd do in a pinch.
After I got back inside I called Popster back.  He was all showered & dressed & ready to leave to bring me my glasses but I said don't bother.  He then said :  " But I'm all dressed ready for work & it's only 5:00am!"  I replied:  "I'm sure Molly would love to go for a walk!"

 Around 10:00am it started raining & before long it was heavy rain(again) & of course I had gone to work in sandals.  I left at lunch time & between my umbrella breaking & all the puddles I was soaked by the time I got to the car.  At that point it didn't matter so I just went grocery shopping & stopped at a couple of stores on the way home.  By the time I got home I was wet, tired  & cranky.  I pulled into the garage & started pulling stuff out of the car.  I had bags in each hand & when I tried to unlock the back door the key turned but the door wouldn't unlock.  After cursing a couple time I put everything down & tried again but I could not get the door to unlock.  The only other way in was the front door which meant I had to got back out in the rain & pray I had the key to it....we never go in that door.  Got in & then  had to make several trips out to the garage for groceries.  The last trip I needed to get in the trunk of my car. 

Guess what? 

It wouldn't open! 

It would click like it opened but wasn't unlocking.

About a half hour later Popster came home & tried to come in the garage door & I'm yelling for him to go around the front cus the door was broken.  He got out his keys , unlocked the door & walked in!
He then took my keys, unlocked the door again.

WTF!

Oh yea.....he also opened my car trunk!

I'm blaming those bright glaring lights....I know it's some kinda mind-warping-torture!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...
