My side of the story - Each morning I have to wake up and take Kim to work about 15 miles from home to the Army base. Then in the afternoon, I pick her up, drop her off at home or at the mall and then promptly take Sonny to work. Late at night (around 1 AM) Sonny will call and wake me up so I can pick him up from work. ALL the running back and forth is costing ME a lot of gas! I've been putting in $30.00 of gas every two days! (can you tell I'm NOT a happy camper?!?!)
She wasn't going to have any of that. Can we say SPOILED!?!? She gave me the silent treatment ... shhhh, I actually LIKED it! I was tired and crabby myself so, quiet was a good thing.
Which is funny, as Sonny and I had already discussed that and we both were thinking along those lines before seeing the doctor. It's such a relief to know it's something controllable, now we just need to figure out what food or actually we are thinking it's a spice that is the culprit.
Anyway, that's some of what is happening over here. ::sigh::

Dog House 4 Mom
Seems I'm a bad mom. At least I'm in the dog house ... AGAIN. The other day Kim wanted me to go to JC Penney's and check out this dress she is considering buying.
Wait, let me back up a wee bit. A few days before she bought this really cute little brown dress to wear to a wedding we will be attending. Okay, she will be attending as a guest, Sonny and I will be photographing the event for our niece as her wedding present.
Anyway, back to the first brown dress, it seems that the high heel shoes she has won't work. So, she NEEDS to either buy new shoes or a different dress. What to do, what to do!!! IF only that was the extent of our problems!

It seems I was supposed to go look at the new dress and tell her what she should do. I didn't. I didn't want to go to the mall, I didn't want to deal with people. I didn't want to do anything but spend some time at HOME.

*** Kim's car broke down several months ago. Sonny is SUPPOSED to fix her car ... however, with weddings, portrait shoots and bad weather nothing has progressed with the car repair. Then Sonny was in a car accident and he no longer has a car to drive. Nor can he drive because when he had the accident, his license had expired a few days before and the cop he got wasn't forgiving and threw the book at him. NOW he can't get his license until we pay about $2,000.00 in fines!
Then of course I have meetings, appointments, and shoots that I'm trying to schedule around the shuttles. Some days I just feel like I'm being pulled 101 different directions. Yesterday was such a day. I was at the point where I just needed to go home and chill.
She wasn't going to have any of that. Can we say SPOILED!?!? She gave me the silent treatment ... shhhh, I actually LIKED it! I was tired and crabby myself so, quiet was a good thing.
This afternoon when I picked her up from work she forgot about the silent treatment. ::sigh:: It was nice while it lasted! She was babbling a mile a minute about all the SIGHTS she saw at work. Uh huh, sure "the sights".
Then she started to ask "Mom, what did you ....." I turn to look at her only to see that her head is rotating in circles - almost like in the Exorcist. It was soldiers that was possessing her attention. What ever she was going to ask was forgotten!
As for me, I could only howl with laughter. I never knew how far a head could turn/rotate until this afternoon!
There was some good news today. Sonny had to go see the GI doctor for a follow up visit after he had an endoscopy and biopsy done. We were nervous yet staying positive. Sonny has a family history of throat cancer - however they were all smokers and Sonny doesn't smoke. Anyway, the results were given to us today. It seems that he had some "unusual" swelling and coloring. No cancer. WHEW! It seems he has allergies to some food.
Which is funny, as Sonny and I had already discussed that and we both were thinking along those lines before seeing the doctor. It's such a relief to know it's something controllable, now we just need to figure out what food or actually we are thinking it's a spice that is the culprit.

I'm late in commenting on this due to our move; but this was so cute about where Kim is working and the sights she gets to see; something about a man in uniform makes my heart flutter (or did when I was much younger, LOL); I'm calling this job an answer to prayer as I was praying for her to find another job; thank you Lord!
I don't blame you for wanting to stay put and not drive anywhere not really needed considering all the driving you have to do routinely in any given day
so glad Sonny got good news from the doctor; another answer to prayer, thank you Lord
betty -
I think you are very patient driving everyone around! I don't blame you for not wanting to deal with the mall. I had to laugh at the head turning ~ I know what "sights" she is taking in at work. LOL. I hope today finds you happy and out of the doghouse.

Oh, man, you REALLY deserve to have a wonderful Mom's Day, Monica -- you've EARNED it!!! Oh, and I'm thrilled that Sonny got good test results....YAY!!!!!!
Hugs,

Oh my goodness I feel for you and all the driving!! I remember when we didn't have the truck yet and I had to drive hubby to work and pick him up and run all the errands myself. Then we got the truck and then the two payments killed us of course. Neither way has been easy. I sure don't blame you for wanting to just have some time at home. Many wishes to you for a happy Mother's Day of hopefully no driving to pick anyone up!! Hugs,
Lisa
