Bad Mommy!
Yeah, I did a bad thing and let Gavin stay home from school today. But I figured the only thing they were doing was going to the fire station to check out the fire trucks and stuff like that, so he's not missing out on much. I even told him they were doing that today and he still didn't want to go. Besides, it's raining and the class is walking to the fire dept., so maybe I'm saving him from getting sick. (I'll just keep telling myself that anyway.) I made him promise that he'll go to school Friday without giving me any problems though. I know, I can't let him stay home just because he wants to, but I don't think he's ready to spend time away from me after being with Josh for a whole week.
Totally off subject here, but I watched "The Reaping" on PPV last night. Really over the top freaky and twisted! Just the way I like my movies!
I got a nice email from Jenni, my old boss from the hotel. She said that they really miss having me around and it's weird that I'm not there. And they miss me bringing Gavin into work with me and keeping everyone entertained. It's nice to be missed. I just wish I would've been a little more appreciated when I was there. I don't think I ever mentioned it in here, but Brandy got fired two days after I quit for stealing Trip Reward points to get free shit. What a dumbass thing to do.
Here's my TO DO list for today:
1) Get on the phone and make chiropractor apts. for the hubby and myself: Poor Randy came home last night in lots of pain because his back went out. Monday he was complaining because he had a stiff neck and it went all the way down to his shoulder. He said it felt like his back was out and that's what was causing the pain. Before we went to sleep that night, I busted out the Hot Heart Massager and the massage lotion and gave him an awesome rub down. He said he felt his back pop and go back into place and the pain in his neck/shoulder was gone. So I pretty much thought I was the shiznit and the massage did the trick. But he said he bent over to pick something up last night and he either had a muscle spasm or his back went out again, but only in a different place than before. He could hardly walk when he got out of bed this morning and he has to work 12 hours tonight. I know it's gotta be killing him if he wants me to make him a chiropractor apt. He's always refused to go to one in the past because he says they do more harm than good.
2) A load of laundry.
3) Clean the bathrooms. Any woman that lives with three boys knows how often the bathrooms need to be cleaned. The toilet is a fairly large target and it's a pretty small stream. Can anyone explain why it's so hard for them to hit the bowl instead of the rim or the floor? I mean, for God's sake! And is it so hard to spit the toothpaste IN THE DRAIN instead of all over the edge and sides of the sink?!
4) Get on the phone and check for cheaper car insurance. Get this! When Randy and I got married, Farm Bureau made me add him to my policy before they'd change my last name on it. He has two points on his license for speeding, so that jacked my rates up by 30.00 a month. THEN, they informed me that I couldn't get my renter's insurance through them anymore because they don't cover modular homes. And no, it doesn't matter that this certain modular home isn't a delapatated crack shack and it's only 6 years old, they don't cover them, period! So that means that I lost my multi-line discount and my rates went up another 20.00 a month. So, my car insurance with the minimum amount of comp and collision coverage is now 176.00 a month! That's fucking outragous and I told the girl at Farm Bureau as much. She actually agreed with me and I told her I'd be checking around for cheaper insurance.
5) Pick Mason up from school and drop him off at Jason's so they can go to church tonight and my eight year old can be further brainwashed by the people in his cult....I mean CHURCH! Srsly. I've about had it with the lectures about taking the Lord's name in vein and the evils of smoking. The Sunday school teacher has told her class that they need to "spread the word of Jesus" or "Jay-sus" as toes_inthe_sand puts it. By "spreading the word of Jesus" she means preach to people. I've tried telling Mason that not everyone believes the same way as his church and it's okay for people to be that way. I've also tried telling him that most people don't appreciate other's beliefs being pushed on them. I know he's only 8 and he probably doesn't get that yet, but he needs to try to understand that it's okay for different people to have different beliefs and they're not gonna go to Hell for it. I remember one Thanksgiving that he told my whole family that the church says everyone that has tatoos and drinks alcohol will go to Hell when they die. (This is 90% of my dad's family by the way!) I almost told Jason that if he wants him on Wednesdays for church, he'll have to make the drive to come and get him. But, the man's been awfully good to me over the years, so I told him that I'd bring him.
I just realized that I've been a total pushover twice already today and it's only 10am. Anyway, I need to get my arse off this couch and get started on some of this shit. You guys/gals have a good day!
