It started out bad....... my alarm clock seems to be on vacation and I didn't wake up until 9...... the time I'm supposed to start school...... I come stumbling out of the bedroom to find Peter quietly playing (something he never does) on the floor of his room..... I look at him

"Why didn't you wake me?????" He just smiled and went back to his Playmobils.... AAARRRRGGGG!!!! It is at this time that I notice Steve, my hubby, isn't here........he's off today, but absent and no note, nothing..... I throw cereal in some bowls, drag Chris out of bed and sit the grinning one (Peter) and the really groggy, grumpy one (Chris) at the table to eat then slam bam into school mode (I am still in gown, robe and fuzzy slippers). They did great, 100's on their spelling tests.... YAY! Then onto laundry..... now for explanation time.... we live in a HUGE converted school bus......(waiting for you to stop laughing or gapeing in shock), so I have no washer.... we will get one of those combo things that washes and dries the clothes real soon

, but until then, it is the Playtex gloves and sniffing bleach fumes for me. I hang up the stuff on a contraption called a New England Clothes Dryer...(is it drier, or dryer, eh, who knows, or cares for that fact) It's wooden, big and hell to put up and take down, and down it must come or our lovely neighbors will steal it..... ANYHOOOOO, I hung up the sopping wet stuff when no more than an hour later Lawnmower Man comes by (why, when we've had nothing but rain for days) and throws grass and mud all over them..........




So I stomp outside, (after telling the kids to stopper up their ears) and give him a large portion of the nasty side of my mind, jerk the clothes off the stupid rack-of-torture and rewash them........ now they won't be dry by tonight....uggggg. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!!! I get online to mess with my site (griffinslair, coming to be known as the pit that ate my life) did a bit of messing around.......... ahem, did you know that you CAN NOT delete files from your web manager if they are still in use on the pages? I didn't........ I thought I would do a bit of cleaning up...... oops........ spent until now putting everything back to rights...... I could have cried....

. NOW, I have spent all day getting really pissed at Steve, who still hasn't come back...... or called........ getting a real mad on, you know, practicing how I am going to quietly shred him when he comes in, if he is not dead in a ditch somewhere......when suddenly I remember...... he had a Diversity Tolerance Seminar today at work......

. Ugggg......and it's only three in the afternoon
