I am so unbelievably glad this week is finally over. I kid you not, it has been one of the most frustrating weeks I've had in a long time. Here's a re-cap of the horrible happenings so far...
Sunday: My in-laws came over early and left late. Not the most awesome thing. They have a bad habit of messing up my house and being very demanding. My mother-in-law forgot something at home and was planning to bring it up the following day. Goodie.
Monday: The kiddos and I were supposed to finally meet up with the playgroup that gets together at 9:30am. There was a club meeting happening at 10:15, so we all decided to meet at the library. I got there at 9:30 prompt and guess what? The library doesn't open until 10. So I drove around town with the kids for half an hour and came back. We went in to the appointed meeting area and... nobody else showed up. So we went to the meeting (which started late) and nobody from the playgroup made it. Awesome. I'm supposed to host the next playdate at my house, how uncomfortable will that be?? Hi ladies that I don't know and children that I don't know, come on in... awkward.
Tuesday: Nothing really big happened on Tuesday. I turned in a project for work and got some mixed feedback on that along with a new project.
Wednesday: Hubby worked from home. I do the grocery shopping (solo) on hubby's work from home day, but I couldn't go until I knew if anyone was coming over for the weekend. He didn't get back to me until 6:00 at night, so I went grocery shopping late and we had McDonalds for dinner. It took nearly half an hour to get through the drive through and my fries were cold. Not awesome. Took the day off from work. I also realized that the blanket I'd been crocheting was getting progressively smaller. After counting stitches twice, I determined that I started screwing up on the first row... I had to pull the entire thing apart and start over.
Thursday: Nothing big happened, but I noticed the TV is progressively getting worse (it emits a high-pitched noise sometimes when you turn it on. It's becoming more frequent. The TV is a projection model from 6 years ago, so I guess it's about due to die). We were supposed to have some storms in the evening, but they missed us. The grass is dead. The garden is in desperate need of water. There is a water ban in effect still. The town planning board was supposed to meet tonight to determine which candidate gets the associate position. I didn't get any work done on my new project. The animals have fleas and the over the counter medication didn't work. My dog seems to have an allergic reaction to it. I washed them in olive oil (amazing results, BTW) and washed all the bedding and carpet in the house. They dried a little on the ugly/funky side, so I picked up some Dawn dish soap and washed them with that. One or two more baths to go before they look normal again. It was worth it to get rid of the fleas before they became a problem though. Nasty things.
Friday: Another playgroup happened today... or was supposed to. The plan was that we'd meet at the park at 10:30 or at the library at 10:15 if it rained. It didn't rain, so I went to the park. Alone. Nobody showed up. These aren't the same ladies as the Monday group, and I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse. Also, Friday marks the 2nd week since my brother-in-laws interview in Maine for the plumbing position. I haven't heard anything, so I'm assuming he didn't get the position. I feel bad for his family, it would have been an amazing opportunity -- and I think it would have helped his wife be less bitchy towards everyone because they'd be farther away and maybe she wouldn't feel so crowded. Oh, and I didn't hear from the planning board today, so I'm guessing I didn't get the position. I only got minimal work done today for my project... which means a working weekend. Not awesome.
So you see, while nothing really bad happened this week, nothing really worked out according to plan either. So frustrating. I could really use some good luck any time it wants to come my way.
