Goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City Here We Come

This has been a weird week. Kaitlin and I had originally planned to go to Kansas City this weekend to take Brandon, Owen (Brandon's friend) and Kaleb to Rockfest. Then Brandon found out he couldn't get off work because too many people were off and he didn't ask in time. So - I cancelled the hotel and cancelled the rental car (don't have a car big enough for all 5 of us since we all have small vehicles now). Corby and the twins made plans to go camping, since they had already asked off for work. I put feelers out everywhere to try to sell their tickets. THEN - I got a text message from Brandon around 11 this morning saying he managed to get the day off - SO - the trip is back on. Of course, that meant trying to find another hotel. Couldn't find one cheaper than $150 in the downtown area (where the concert is), so we're staying in Overland Park. I did manage to get a better deal on the rental car though. ON - OFF - ON! What a roller coaster week! Of course, now Corby doesn't get to go camping. Guess they'll have to find another weekend to go. I know, I'll leave some laundry for him so he doesn't get too bored!

And yes - today - we have VEHICLE TROUBLE! I drove Kaitlin's truck to work today since my air conditioning still isn't fixed. She drove my car to Target at K-96 and Greenwich Rd. this afternoon, and when she went to leave, the car was not drivable. It would go into "drive" but would just shake ferociously and not move. She had to spend about an hour at Target until Corby could get out there (I had to work late today). He's not sure what's wrong with it - transmission problems or CV joints. We will have it towed to the shop in the morning and then wait for the GRIM news. So - now we will be playing the car shuffle. If Corby and I worked similar hours we could carpool, but we don't, especially since this is my "late" week. So, the twins are going to have to carpool themselves to Leeker's - since they don't work the same schedule this could get interesting. Brandon is working 11-8 the next few days - so he's not much help. We'll figure something out. It is always something with cars!

I so glad he gets to use his tickets.
BTW - I had a hit on the tickets this morning. I told them they are being used. Sorry Charlie

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
