This…That…and WTF?
Not much to tell right now. I’m tentatively scheduled for surgery on Feb. 6th (next Friday) but it hasn’t been confirmed as of yet. They will have to redo all of my bloodwork and such at the time of surgery.
I hate having all that yuck done…*sigh* oh well.
Ummm…what else, working as usual. Boss is still out of town (YAY) but the unfortunate thing is that he will eventually return.
I have to pick up Jason from the bus-stop tonight on my way home… (taps fingers on desk)
(hey…I’m tryin’ to think of stuff to write about but my brain is about mush at this point…so stay with me)
Oh…wait…here’s somethin’!!
I was getting in my car to go out to lunch with one of my co-workers when my cell phone rang. It was the twins’ school telling me that I was late picking them up (it was 11:42 and they are supposed to be picked up no later than 11:30)! Well, first of all…I don’t pick them up (very often anyway) my Mom does! So, I’m now wondering where in the hell my Mother is that she wasn’t there picking them up from school. So I inform this woman, who is scolding me on the phone and telling me that I now owe the school $3.50 each for the twins because they had to keep them late…that I will let my Mom know that she owes them a fee and will tell her to get over there to pick them up ASAP.
So I call my house phone and my Mother answers…and I of course I’m asking “why aren’t you picking up the boys from school?“…to which she replies with, “I fell asleep“.
So I tell her that it might be a good idea to call the school and let them know that she is on her way.
She then informs me that the she just got off the phone with the school…and I’m now wondering, then why in the hell were they calling me? 
Anyway…so I hang up with her and I have this completely puzzled look on my face…’cuz I can’t figure out why they didn’t call my house phone before calling my cell phone when my Mom has been the primary person that picks the twins up and drops them off at that school for the past 2 years! Hmm…maybe that person needs her own sign?
Okay…that’s it for me today! That’s all of the drama that I can handle.
Happy Hump Day!

Well honey, my only guess is that since you’re the parent and she’s not, they have you down to contact, and you always list your cell phone… and the person your mom talked to right before was probably not the same individual who called you… you know, just like every office works.
I can understand her wanting to nap– but I think we have enough alarm clocks in the house, eh???
I’ll see you when you pick me up (thank you for that) I love you baby!
don’t be logical when I’m trying to complain…geeesh

Good luck on your surgery.
Yeah thats stupid about picking up the kids that they called you and stuff, and that she fell asleep.
Well hope the rest of your day is better
I love reading your posts Maria.
You usually manage to put a big smile on my face (even tho I’m sure you were pretty PO’d about the twins not being picked up and the bonehead that called from the school!).
Sometimes when I get to feeling that I’m the only one with annoying glitches in life, you make me see that there are a lot of us out there!
Have a great week!

Bless your heart… I think it is a travisty that they can charge like that though….it is really silly …for me to think that they are in such a durn hurry to get your kids off of thier hands…
I hope you had a good day otherwise…
