The one time I have an appointment to get my nails done, is the one time all hell breaks loose. I had to make a whirllwind trip to Chicago on Thursday to go to a funeral for a family member. Said family member died on Monday...we didn't find out until Wednesday afternoon and it was impressed upon us that we should go. I moved heaven and earth and thanks to Colleen and John I was able to take my folks to Chicago on Thursday and came back Saturday. It was a lot to take in, in the two days we were there and I realized that my folks are kinda normal compared to Dad's cousins.
I did get a Lou Malnati pizza and got some retail therapy at Woodfield, so it wasn't all bad.
From there, Mom came here until Monday evening. We did three days worth of stuff just on Monday. She did accomplish a few of the things she wanted to do. I am just wiped out. Plain...and...simple. Dad was a jerk a good part of the weekend. He cused out a gal at McDonalds because they didn't have Big Macs at 10 am. He reasoning was that he wanted one, therefore they should have one ready for him. I am going to spend today coming down and doing some cleaning. Mabey things will be right by the end of the week.
