  • What the hell is wrong with today?

    Oh this is going to be rambling and there will be swearing. I really need to vent to someone and I think my family want to have me committed. Not that I would stop them, I need a nap.

    Today has been one freaking fuck fest. And it is just adding to the already miserable week(s). Lets start at the beginning.

    My Grandma is 96 years old and starting to lose it. She still lives alone. The rest of us want her to move in with my Mom's oldest sister. So to that end we have been doing a remodel of where my Grandma stays when she does go over. There is a seperate apartment that was a day care at one point. We are putting up a new wall to spilt of the living area and the kitchen. We are gutting the bathroom and completely redoing it. All the fixtures are coming out and new are going it. We also putting in a huge deck and ramp for her. Now mind you she doesn't know what is going on and we are hoping to get it finished before she finds out. So this means every free Saturday/Sunday we have is going to be at my Aunt and Uncles (note I also work for this Aunt and Uncle) house.

    Now on Sunday found out my Uncle's Dad is back in the hositpal and not doing well, plus his Mom hasn't been doing well for awhile and really can't take care of herself. Mind you they live in California and we live in Washington. THis is a pain. So he is stressing about this at work. He might have to go down there to help out.

    So last night my monthly fun fest starts and I don't sleep real well. Probably 3 hours total. I am not a happy camper this morning since i am tired and I have cramps. So I take off before my hubby leaves for his job.

    I am almost to the supermarket because I need doughnuts and coffee to function today. I get a call from the hubby saying "I have locked myself out of the house without my car keys" FUCK. Now we live a half hour away from work. So I turn around and call the office to say I am going to be late since i have go and save his arse. I am grumbling and swearing most of the way home. Get home hand him my keys and take back off for work. I get to work finally (about a hour late). Then my phone tells me I have a voicemail and I have missed a call. What the hell you never rang, whatever. So I see it is the hubby and I figure he is saying he is sorry and that he made it to work. Oh no, he has been reended by someone before he even left the town we live in. FUCK FUCK FUCK. So I call him back to make sure he is ok and do i need to come get him. Nope looks to be some minor damage just a couple of cracks in the bumper. Great. I tell him "Thank you for not causing the accident" and make sure he keeps an eye on himself in case he needs to go to the doctor.

    By this point I am just laughing because of everything going on.

    All of this on top of all this my Mom's twin sister, her husband and daughter are in the process of selling their house and moving back to Budapest (probably permentaly).

    I would like a do over now. Thank you for reading if you have made it this far. Sorry for the rambling but I do feel better for getting it out.

    Now more importantly, does anyone know if you can make a slushie out of Guinness?
    Coffee should be strong, black and chewy! It should strip paint and frighten small children.

      Guiness milkshakes rock. My favorite movie theater makes them with vanilla ice cream.

      Good luck with your family drama.

          You can make a Guinness float, according to some people they are actually quite yummy but I have yet to try one.

              Vid card dead on my gaming rig, 3 service calls for the AC in less than 24 hrs, 2 of which involved a welding torch, and my car came back from trying to return some books due today on a flatbed.

              I don't drink, but would you mind sharing the Guiness slushie anyway please? I think I might just make an exception...

                Holy Hera, you had the same day we did.

                Thanks guys! Saw the car when i got home last night, either the panels have shifted on the car or the frame is tweaked. I joke with the hubby that if he wanted a new car there were easier ways to do it.

                  Well I thought I would give some sort of an update to the saga in the OP.

                  So Grandma now knows about the projects. She started to not feel very well and wanted to come to my Aunt's house. Crap! We have been using that room for tool storage. We all beat feet to the house and get it cleaned up and rearranged so she can stay. we get it all done. She loves what we are doing so that all worked out.

                  The hubby's car is going to get totalled. They auto body shop said that she was going fast then 10mph. *Proceeds to swear about teen driver*

                  So the hubby and I went truck shopping yesterday. We sign the papers on a 06 Ford F150. 39k in miles, 4WD, SuperCab. It is very nice. Added bonus is we are going to be able to trade in my 94 escort that has been sitting in the driveway for years because we never have time to deal with it.

                  So all in all it is going better. And tomorrow is the hubby's interview for a full time job at the college he works part time for now. I am really hoping he gets it. He would be a lot happier.

                  Wow I am rambling again. Thanks again for letting me
