I love everyone but the sick pups today

Hey. You might be as happy as I am to know that I'm in a much better frame of mind now.

Friday night went from bad to worse, with a call off for third shift (BadgeBunny again) which effectively had me working 12 hrs. Part of the difficulty with that was the fact that I had planned on leaving early Saturday morning.

All was not lost, however! I came home and slept about 5 hrs and we were still off at a decent time. One of the reasons I decided to take off for the weekend was not only because it's been awhile since we went completely away for longer than a couple hours. Secondly, I needed the break. I needed to get away from the ringing phone, the nosy relatives, work and school and the humdrum of every day life. Because of my late night just prior to our departure, the house wasn't quite as tidied as I like to leave it when we're leaving (who wants to come home to a messy house they need to clean up?) but it was tolerable and I left with no worries.

The boys and I went exploring. I purposely neglected to print out directions and was determined to just GO. It was lovely. We toured the Ohio Caverns down in southern Ohio, took a peek at the Piatt Castles, and ended our fun at a nice hotel with a big ole pool.

Tourism at it's best. Everything went along at a nice leisurely pace, nothing really planned, no time schedule, no obligation to do anything but enjoy each other, enjoy the activity and take it easy.

Coming home wasn't horrid either. I knnew I'd have some laundry waiting and a little tidying up but I didn't dread it as much as I might have. Amazing what getting the heck away can do.

For those of you having a different version of pool "fun" this weekend, I empathize. I can't imagine the fun that must come in maintaining one of those suckers, or the expense. I managed this weekend by scrimping and cutting corners..too bad you couldn't have tucked yourself in my suitcase and come along.

Trev is scheduled for an appointment with his behavioral specialist tomorrow but I think I'll be cancelling it. The school never DID comply with his request to have Trevor observed for a straight 8 hrs. He's had a couple of meetings with the psych. and while they're developing a rapport, it's not visibly doing much. I'll call and see what he says--he's pretty good about not wasting my money.

And if the appointment gets rescheduled, I have a free day at home tomorrow. I've already set up a sub for Grams.

Lovely. I'm just...lovely. I hope everyone had at least a tolerable weekend. Perhaps not a "nice" one.

And for those two people who found my diary by searching for "sex with 6 yr olds" and "weird and sexy toes"--just...EWWWWWWWW. How the heck did those terms match up with MY diary?? Sheesh.

Happy weekend.
