Next......

Well so yesterday was a little rough for me, I wanted to be in Amarillo with my Mom while she was having a stint put in. Unfortunately I could not due to miles between here and Texas.... so anyway, needless to say I had a little mini meltdown around 4:30pm, when they had to take her back into surgery to check the stint and was WAY ready to be home to just chill and relax.

I have to go back a little bit... a while back we put our names into an entry for a brand new LG Refridgerator at Home Depot, so its supposed to be held the end of Oct. They also do a weekly drawing to pick who gets put in the "big" drawing. So anyway.... Jay and I won the weekly drawing a couple of weeks ago.... THERE'S A CATCH.... to get your $20 gift certificate they want to send out a water sampling man to test your water.... then they will send you the $20 gift card in 4 to 5 weeks....

SOOOO, I knew the water man was going to be at our house around 6pm last night, I figure this dude will be at our house until maybe 6:45pm at the latest, so I had kind of gotten geared up for trying to appease some strange man showing me how disgusting our water is.... blah blah blah
So I call my wonderful hubby who, in his defense, was really probably trying to help out, but man bless his heart.... so I call him on the phone tell him I am on my way home and would be getting home earlier because all the Nashville traffic was downtown for the Presidential Debate.....
What does he tell me? "Well.... thats is good, I called the insurance guy and asked if he could come over tonight around 6:45pm tonight so he will be coming after the water dude leaves is that ok?"
"Sure, ummmm.... when are we going to eat dinner?" That always seems to be my question.... when can I FEED MY FACE?
"Well, it won't take that long the water guy should probably leave around 6:30pm and the insurance guy will only be here for 10 or 15 minutes."

Ummmm.... apparently he doesn't realize that both these people are trying to sell us something in our home after work hours so there is no where to go.....

So, J puts the pizza in the oven when I had called him.... I get home about 5:45pm.... 6:00pm the timer on the oven is going off and my door bell is ringing..... GRRRRREAT!!! No food!, grumble, grumble.... fake smile, hi how are you.... oh I'm fantastic.... except I've had one hell of a day and now you are here to tell me about my nasty water... and I am freakin hungry!!!
So we go through the very long process of demonstrations, the man is in my kitchen and J and I are sitting on the other side of the bar..... well water salesman and J decide that they need to be talking bow hunting and fishing..... goodie, I know that I have an insurance man coming in about 5 minutes and I can see my pizza sitting on top of the oven getting cold.... so I gently and lovingly kick my husband under the bar to hopefully get him to shut up about hunting so this poor man can get the hell outta my house.....
Door bell rings...... great insurance man decides to show up about 10 minutes early.....
Now I have a damn waiting room going on in my house...... grrrr.... no pizza for me!!
So the waterman tries to speed up his shpill, and is not doing a very good job if you ask me.... he still has to show us 5 more demonstrations, show my hubby a picture of a buck he shot last bow season, talk to him about duck season, blah blah blah.... all the while I have a poor man sitting in my now waiting room area staring at the ceiling.... coughing and tapping his foot.....
I could have shot my husband for thinking that this was all going to be over in what 30 minutes???
Ya'll.... the insurance man did not leave my house until 9:20pm.... so now I have missed the entire Town Hall Presidential Debate that was going on in my city, AND..... I have not eaten.... by this time I am way past the point of hunger, so I poured me a small bowl of mini wheats and watch the evaluation on the debate..... all the while trying to chill out so I would be able to go to sleep.
Bless J's heart I know he was trying to kill 2 birds with one stone, but yesterday was just not the night for me.... hopefully I can go home tonight and not have to holler "Next please...."
