We weren't going to the airport to see her off.........but rather my 3 kids were still young and we were trying to get to Kristin's funeral because she had died suddenly. We kept getting delayed and lost and things kept happening to my kids along the way. We couldn't find the town and we were in a strange place. I think it's a jumble of memories of ME going to Korea with the 3 small kids and sleeping in USO lounges across the world (literally) as we made the trip. Plus, I'm so sad about Kristen and Jayden leaving. I am going to miss them so much. She is the best thing that ever happened to my son.....he's a lucky man.
Adding to the Nightmare Jumble is the anniversary of Brenda's death is right around the corner. 10 days from today. It's on my mind a lot. And 'losing' Christopher/Cecelia ....figuratively, anyway. But the nightmare was awful and VERY real. I kept waking up thinking that it had really just happened. It was very upsetting and very distressing. I was upset about it for quite awhile today.
We ran errands after the airport and Tory called while we were out. Then we went home and both of us were exhausted beyond words. She has REPEATEDLY been asked to call before coming over and told that it's not always convenient for her to just pop over. Last time I mentioned that to her she told me "Awwwwwwwww, poor babies." GRRR!!!! She has gotten sooooo pissy with us when we've gone over to her house (prearranged) and she has decided to take a nap. She just ignores the doorbell and the phone and then when she finally answers the phone she's really ugly because we woke her up. Well, she called and said that she saw some missed calls on her phone. I told her that we were sleeping. OK. So she calls back a little bit later and says that she's here trying to get in because she needs her cooler (that she's been asked for MONTHS to take over to her house but she refused because she didn't know where to put it) and that the door was locked. I told her we were sleeping and I would talk to her later. She got pissed and said "Whatever" and hung up on me. Then she called back wanting me to get up and open the door. I told her no....we were sleeping and I would talk to her later. So she called right back but I hit ignore and shut the phone off. She left a pissy message telling me that she really appreciates me not getting her cooler because they really needed it because they were leaving for the weekend in Arlington.
She's just going to having to put on her big girl panties and deal with it. There are times that we are doing OUR thing.......or even sleeping and we are NOT going to run a bus station that's open all hours of the day and night for her convenience. She stays out late....sleeps in, and then comes over here for this or that when we are just getting ready for bed. That's really not working for us and it's going to stop now.
Change subject.
I finished Jim's keychain thing a la Lifehacker. and it turned out great!!!!! It was a total pain in the butt and I never want to make another one, but he loves it and that makes it worthwhile.
