TGIF - Or Not!

Jump to Comments

I had looked forward to Friday all week long. I knew it meant the end of the week followed by a 3 day weekend. My day was destined to be shitty for before I even opened my eyes.

• The neighbors dogs started barking about 5:15 and stopped about .2 seconds after I got out of bed
• Our friends who live on the next street over are out of town so we are watching their dogs. They have 3. 2 that live in the house and one who stays outside by his choice. Until yesterday morning that is. He was covered in mud and ran into the house. He is a great big scaredy cat and peed all over when I got near him. Great. Clean up mess, get dogs outside, go back home to get ready for work.
• Log onto computer just real quick to check emails. Decide to check to see if pay check is in bank account. Turns out there is NO money in account. Someone made a mistake with Noodle’s tuition automatic withdrawl and they took out over 3 months of tuition all at once.  FREAK OUT.
• Try to call school. Not open until 9. Call company that handles tuition. Very nice man figures out what happened. Explains that school has to offer refund not them.
• Realize it is the last day anyone will be at school until August. FREAK OUT.
• Run upstairs, wake Noodle up not so nicely, hurry and get ready for work.
• Back over to friends to let the dogs in. Bella hides under the bed so I can’t lock her in her kennel.
• Call work to make sure Bossman is going to be on time so I can run to school to try to fix problem
• Drag poor little Bella out from under the bed and get her locked up.
• Notice we need gas in truck. Get almost to gas station (about 15 mins away) and wonder if I picked up my debit card that was laying on the counter. Seems I didn’t. Of course I have no cash and no other form of payment.
• Turn around and go all the way back home. Noodle runs in and grabs debit card and cash laying on counter.
• Back to the gas station fill up truck (we have 4 different bank accounts, I know very confusing, but thankfully there was some $$ in this account still) $96.43, sadly I was happy it was less than $100.00. They have us so brainwashed.
• Drop Noodle off at Gma’s. She has a slight meltdown. Try to reason with her in front of my mom in way that won’t give Gma any points to use against me.
• Jump in truck get about 2 blocks away, realize I should have printed off the invoice thing nice man at tuition place sent me.
• Turn around back to Gma’s house. Wait, wait, wait for Gma’s dial up access to get going.
• Back on the road, on my way to school.
• Get to school, find secretary, explain situation. She would be happy to just credit that amount to next years tuition. Um, hello! If I could pay that amount up front this problem never would have happened.
• Secretary tells me if I don’t want credit it will take about a week to get me a check. FREAK OUT.
• Have small melt down in school office wondering how we can get by on the $6.00 that is in my pocket for a week.
• Decide to go over to rectory to see if priest is there and beg him to sign the check as soon as it goes through. He usually only signs them once a week. Give him the song and dance and beg pretty please . Walk away from rectory with big ol fat check.
• Back over to school office to buy scrip so I can go back to school next day to buy uniforms. (I would rather walk over hot coals naked than buy school uniforms). Use the last check I have.
• Go to bank to deposit big ol fat check and breathe sigh of relief that nothing else had tried to clear and nothing bounced.
• Finally get to work.
• MamaB calls, did I already get scrip? Run back to school to get scrip for MamaB, realize I have no more checks. (Yes, it was only about 20 mins after I wrote my last check).  Offer my left arm in exchange for  scrip with a promise to bring it when we come for uniforms the next day.
• Back to work.
• Check bank account all day long waiting for check to post.
• Keep thinking just how good a beer would taste right. about. now.
• 4:30 Gma drops Noodle off at shop. 30 min play by play of her day.
• 5:00!! Never thought I would be so happy to get the heck out of there.
• Off to the ballpark. Sweat, sweat, sweat some more.
• Scream, yell, scream, yell, sweat, sweat, sweat some more.
• Game is finally over!! We will get them next time girls - its ok.
• Try to take picture of girls, with me laying on ground (MamaB saw it online and thought it would be soo cute) with girls standing in circle over me looking down.  We are going to have to try it again next game. Need to figure out how to get everyone in photo.  (I couldn’t seem to get quite far enough away from them all and I think I had my camera zoomed all the way in, any ideas? I will try to post a few of the ones I took ).
• Start to itch. Realize I have grass everywhere. I mean everywhere. Ass sweat and grass are not a good combination, take it from me.
• TIme to go home, FINALLY! Go let neighbor’s dogs out, come home and drag myself upstairs, take a quick shower and collapse in bed.

Oh what a day.
