More to Come

It's been a bummer day. Nothing has been on schedule. Nothing completed as planned. I am yanking my hair out.

Butthead was supposed to come home immediately after school and help with the yard work. Love of my life came home from work so tired he could not think clearly. So he went in and laid down and waited for Butthead. BH comes in at 5:30 with a silly look on his face, full well knowing he was in trouble. He still played dumb. He claimed he had to get to his awards banquet. I made him mow the lawn, just for good measure. He was pissed and mowing fast. I need to do this more often. I pruned and picked up debris and toys. Then in the midst of all of our getting it done, Love of my Life's fire pager went off, reminding of a training meeting tonight. He said he'd run over there and check in and let them know he was not going to be around to complete the hazwopper training so he was going to bow out of this one. That was 6:15. At 10:30 PM he walks back in filthy and tired. They convinced him to stick around, because they were going to pack the whole thing into one night. So our chores for the night were bumped. These included repairing the gas grill, completing the clean up and putting order on it all.

Then, to make it further BLEAK, he tells me that he got notice today that we are not moving for another year. I feel very let down, but hopeful that this is really the case. I don't want to settle in here and then drop orders with 3 weeks to make it happen. I still feel like we will be looking at a Christmas move. I may be surprised by this. We'll see.

Butthead seemed shocked by this news, hopeful for a moment and then somewhat bothered. I am not sure why so many emotions at once. He will enroll in college this fall, since we have at least a time frame to get through the fall semester.

Anyway, my night is lost, tomorrow will be crunch time from hell. My ex and his parents are coming in tomorrow night. My parents and sisters on the next. My BIL and MIL are not coming, there was a jet crash in Indiana and my BIL is stuck there working the investigation. What a bummer.

Anyway, I need to go to bed, long day tomorrow.
