Daughter got yelled at by the mayor when she started up her race car for the first time. Mayor and one of his neighbors got all excited and told her she couldn't have a race shop in our town. He ranted and raved at her, telling her the noise disturbed them as they were trying to cook out. It was before 8 PM on a Friday night. I doubt she was breaking any noise ordinances (but I will check into it). It's probably a good thing Hubby and I didn't know about it until after the fact, or things could have gotten out of hand. As it is, Hubby plans to have a talk with the mayor on Monday. I hope I don't have to go bail him out of jail!
Then I stayed up late last night watching basketball, crossing teams like Duke and Missouri off the pool picks. Let's just say my red pen got a workout! At 11 PM, I had to run and pick up my son. He and his girlfriend were hanging out with their friends. They went swimming. In an outdoor pool. I told him "It's March!" In that disgusted tone of voice, he said, "Mom, it's hot out." Yeah, yeah. He always thinks it's hot - he wears shorts year round!
Today I spent the day doing laundry, then hubby and I decided to go take a walk at the park. Being the considerate mother that I am, I texted both kids (son was with his girlfriend again and daughter was at work) and told them where we would be. Son texted me back quickly, suggesting we go to a different park because he and his girlfriend were headed to the same park. "I don't want to see you old people there," were his exact words.
We went to the other park. We had a nice walk and saw a couple deer, and I was able to take a few pictures. As we were leaving the park, Daughter called. She needed help getting her race car on the trailer. By the time we got home, she had it on the trailer but was having problems getting it tied down. It was probably less than 2 minutes before she told both of us not to touch anything. Hubby walked to the opposite end of the shop, then came back and helped anyway. I walked away and talked to an old neighbor who was working next door. Once again, we are stupid.
Yes, I know she's a wreck. Tomorrow is her first practice. This is the day she has dreamed of since she was a little girl. That race car is her baby. After tomorrow, maybe she'll know how I feel letting MY baby go...
Today IS St. Patrick's Day...maybe I can find some of that green stuff and close the day on a good note!
Well, that was yesterday...the madness continues. My internet has been cantakerous on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays for the past month. I've called my provider and they claim there is nothing wrong. I'm here to tell you SOMETHING is wrong! Sunday through Wednesday I have no problems accessing the internet or any websites. But those other days, I might get online, but once I get there, nothing will load. Drives me nuts! So anyway, here is my belated post...and here's hoping my internet provider will fix this before next weekend!
