What Are You Thinking?

Being raised by a mom.

 

Kid comes home from school.  Drops backpack on floor and sighs heavily.  

Mom: "What's wrong?  Did you have a bad day at school?"

They sit down and talk about it over milk and cookies.  They reach a solution and the child feels better.

 

Being raised by aunt.

Kid comes home from school.  Drops backpack on the floor and sighs heavily.

Aunt (stretched out on the sofa, wearing an oversized t-shirt hanging off one shoulder, bare feet kicked up on a stack of throw pillows while staring at the TV): "S'up?"

She then proceeds to pretend to listen to you while suppressing the urge to turn up the volume.  Nodding every now and then at what appears to be appropriate breaks in the conversation.  Kid is so self involved in their recitation they fail to notice and eventually walks away feeling vindicated.  Aunt notices kid is missing and continues watching TV.

Just a little silliness.  I do look up.

I'm all nostalgic and stuff.  I miss my babies.  I miss the little toddlers and the mean mugging cute little temper tantrums! I miss the little pidderpidder. I'm crying, PMS and mother's day and lack of coffee, maybe? Don't judge me.

I can help you with that.  Just need to get you over here and have Noelle bring the little ones over.  4 y/o and 3 y/o, you'll get your fill of the pidder padder .

Yay, I managed to stay awake long enough to order the pet food and get something to eat.  I think these past 3 days of straight yardwork, appointments and scheduled meetings have really taken a toll on me.  I think I had better get a nap in before the restaurant run tonight.

I think I may have bitten off more than I could chew with my project surprise this weekend.  I only managed to clear one bedroom, install one door hardware set and rekey 3 locks while house sitting 3 locations.

This was not the day I was planning on having.  Thought I'd be cutting grass.  The reality is I wore myself out babysitting all the girls.  Then Kali became cranky.  Then, a few hours later, I made everyone take a nap.  I just woke up at 1:30pm after dreaming about food.  Now I need to salvage some of this day because tomorrow will be busy.

    • I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
