Who remembers that tune from The Bangles? I can't remember the year, but I'm guessing Jack and I own the vinyl in our basement..among the 300+ albums that are down there.
I really had good intentions of having a fantastic day. Ben's teacher, K, even thought so. In one split second things can deteriorate.
I had a list, a fresh pot of coffee brewed and I was ready to take on the day. Carpe Diem.
First phone call was to Quest. The bill needed to be paid and I wanted to switch from a business listing to a residential. No simple task. Long story short, they could take my money but I can't switch anything until November, when the new directories come out. After an hour on the phone with three agents, our home telephone number is the business line and our residential line is the fax line. I can't cancel because I would lose my home phone number, which is the business line..That was a mind mess up for me. They beat me up and won....I paid our mortage and quit.
I tried to start thank-you notes. Pam and my friend, Marianne, addressed some Saturday night. I couldn't compose the first one. It's so easy to write a blog, I'm writing to noone. It's just me and whoever chooses to read. The thank-you note is personal. I know who the audience is and I can't find the words.
I've never been one to give myself kudos, but when it comes to parenting, I always thought I was a kick ass mom. I suck at being a father. Maybe if I read "The Dangerous Book for Boys", I'll get some insight...or maybe I'll just call Buck:)
Remember our talk about the new coined "Monday"... it's "Funday"... don't try to make it anything more... otherwise your Tuesday is going to get screwed up!
