Hi it’s Christina –
Good Morning! Well it’s
Friday, and we made it through another week. I don’t know about you, but this
week has been a little crazy. I feel like I’m running and running and running,
but not getting much done. Unfortunately, today’s not going to be much
different.
As soon as Dani gets out
of the shower (yes a teenager on summer vacation is up and in the shower before
8:00 am), I have to hop in. Then we are headed off to a family from church’s
house – out in the middle of nowhere. They are going to Chicago for ten days,
and Dani is going to be watching their dog. It’s a pretty sweet deal. The dad
isn’t going to Chicago because he can’t get off from work, so he will be home
normal hours, but the mom didn’t want the dog left alone all day. So, Dani has
to go over in the afternoon, give the dog a treat, let him out, and play with
him for an hour, and she’ll get $10 a day.
Lys isn’t too happy about
it because this is the family she babysits for, and she couldn’t watch the dog
because she was in Florida, so she recommended Dani; but she thinks, on the
days she is home and has to drive Dani up there, she should be getting ½ of the
money. Ahhh, no. If she insists, then I’m going to tell her fine, but then she
has to pay for the gas going to and from her training for her summer job. I’m
thinking she’ll back down real quick.
I get it, she’s trying to
make as much money as possible before she goes back to school, but come on. Her
sister is fifteen years old, and this will probably be her only job all summer.
I will make one concession, next Wednesday, Dani is going with me and won’t be
available to play with the dog, so Lys can have the $10 for that day. Sometimes
my kids make me twitch! LOL
After we get the dog deal
hammered out, we are headed to DMV. I only have ten days left on my driver’s
license, so I need to get a new one. I’m hoping I don’t have to come up with a
hundred and two ways to prove I’m me. (Photo ID, old Driver’s License,
Passport, SS Card, Utility Bill, etc.) It was absolutely ridiculous the last
time I went to get my license renewed. I think they stay up late at night
thinking up ways to make our lives more difficult. At least I will be going to
the Flemington DMV, and the folks there are so very nice, pleasant, courteous,
efficient… Can you believe I’m saying that about a DMV? Well it’s true. Ooo,
perhaps I shouldn’t have said anything because now all the Jersey folks will go
to the Flemington DMV and it will get crowded. No, stay away, they’re terrible
there… J

From there, we’ll be going
to ShopRite, because if I hear “There’s nothing to eat in the house!” one more
time, there will be bloodshed. There can be no complaining about the food if
the culprit comes shopping with me.
My final project for the
day is reclaiming my bedroom. We brought all our summer clothes up from the
basement, but I hadn’t packed up the winter clothes yet, so my room looks like
a bomb blew up in it. We have a tiny, forty-nine year old, three bedroom ranch.
My hubby and I share a five foot long by two foot deep closet, in a fourteen
foot square room. There is no room for two seasons of clothing.
Okay, Dani’s out of the
shower, so it’s my turn. I didn’t leave myself the ten minutes needed to do the
prompt, so you’ll get a new writing challenge tomorrow. I hope you have a fantastic
day, and happy writing!
