Today has been full, too full. Right after Noah and I had breakfast, we had a repair man come to fix our refrigerator (it was "peeing" on the floor).
Aunt Pauline called and said she had washed her hair, could I come roll it for her. Right after I finish her hair, I had a call from my father-in-law saying they were ready for me. ??? I had no idea what they were ready for, but I went over.
Daddy had to go to the store and I was to stay with Mother (she just had back surgery last week.) I ended up helping her with a bath, putting up laundry, and rolling her hair. She had visitors, so I ran home.
Noah and I headed to the pool so I could do my water aerobics. We hurried home, washed the dog (she rolled in doggie poo or something last night - boy did she stink!), and had a rushed lunch. I was to be back at the in-laws to mop and stay with Mother while Daddy went to the doctor.
Daddy called right as I was walking out the door - they didn't need me. A friend was there visiting and would stay with Mother. Whew! Time for me to get something done at home!
I threw in a load of laundry, and told Noah we are going to do math. We homeschool. We are "done" with our 180 days, but still need to finish up curriculum. So we started math about 2:00. I was crashing and burning, so layed down for about 15 minutes. Noah aborted math and was reading. I let him go for a little while.
At 4:00, I started pizza for supper. We have weird diets and alleries - I'll save that for another day's thoughts! Aunt Pauline comes rushing in the door just having a FIT! She said she let the little niger girl steal her wallet. What??? (Sorry, I don't talk like that, but that is what she said.)
She was at Kroger when a nicely dressed black female approached her with a wallet full of money asking if it was hers. Aunt Pauline then took the girl to Walgreen, then to RBBC bank. The girl wanted her to go in the bank and get money so they could split what she found (yes I know this makes no sense). Aunt P realized it she wasn't honest, but proceeded to take her back to Walgreen. BUT, during the ride, the girl "dropped" her cell phone in the back seat and managed to snatch Aunt P's wallet from her purse.
The good news is Aunt P had just taken money out of the bank and had the envelope of money with her drivers license in it tucked under her seat, NOT in the wallet. The bad news is there were sereral pieces of important stuff - a few credit cards, insurance card, Social Security card, etc.
I called the Credit card company and closed that account. We then went to the police station to give a report. We didn't want the police to come to the house, because she didn't want Mother and Daddy to know what happened!
SO, while all this was going on, I get a phone call from my father-in-law. The friend from church brought dinner and he was VERY unhappy with it! He told me what was there, grumbling the whole time. Last night someone from the church brought all the leftovers from a funeral over - but not much of that appeals to them, either. So, my next task is to go clean out the food they will not eat, clean up the dishes, and I don't know what else.
Oh yeah - the pizza! Sweet Noah managed to finish the pizza all by himself! I had the crust started and rising, he baked them, made the pizza (cut the onions and everything!) and baked them the rest of the way. I'm SO proud of him!
So, this is just ONE DAY of my crazy life. I'm tired and have a few things ahead. Going back to the in-laws, making kombucha (that, too, will be another blog), making laundry soap, and finish laundry. There's more, but it will have to wait for tomorrow.
