Author: I cannot wait for spring break. There is so much I need to do, not only then but also, before then. I need to pick up another copy of my last lost transcript. I say lost because my dear compulsive son does not believe in me ever leaving anything out where I can find it, so he stuffed it somewhere. Somewhere that he cannot remember as usual. I cannot even count the times that he has put something away and I have been able to find in only to replace it and find it months even years later. However, I need a copy of my transcript now, it is essential to applying for a new job. I would like to line up some job interviews before the end of the school year. I need something to look forward to these days.
In addition, there is the dire need for a new back door and the repair of the sliding glass in the older boys room. They managed to disassemble it, loose the pieces, and derail it. So there is no handle, it does not close, and I have a multitude of materials to block the air flow. Now I was going to hire the old friend to do the work, as I do not know an honest repairperson. However, I received as very manipulative email from him and it just pissed me off so much that I sent him one telling him how out of line he was and that I didn’t appreciate the manipulative tone of his email. I am so glad I never took him up on the offer to do free repairs around my house, he turned out to be one of the last people I would want owe a favor. Therefore, it looks as though I will spend a lot of money to get these chores done. Oh well…that is what I had been saving for anyway.
Speaking of pissed off, my darling daughter is pissed off at me because I will not watch her hyperactive boarder collie while she is visiting her father. I told her I would watch him if she went during my spring break or while I was out of work, but that he was too high maintenance to leave at home alone. He seriously is…. Well this sent her into a rage, and now I am a selfish bitch because she wants to go a week after my break, not during my break.
Oh well… just another day… hopefully tomorrow will be better. I am trying to stay optimistic.

Tell her you’ll keep the dog when she wants you to…but ONLY if she’ll get him enrolled in a doggy day care, pay for it and get her brother to do transport. Or get her grandmother to take care of him.
See, you’re reasonable.
Unfortunately her big brother, the one who would be saddled with the dog, does not drive. Her younger brother offered to take the dog, but that is NOT what she wants. I did suggest grandma. Ha!
Can’t she board the dog at a kennel? That is what I have to do.
Sure she could, but that is not what she wants… She could also take her dog with her.
I imagine it is. Very good stuff, glad I found this.
