Lori's Day Off

Today is my day off. I had the whole day planned out beautifully. I was going to get up, shower apply a reasonable amount of makeup, pile my hair up and dress cutely for a day of shoe and flower shopping. The shoes for work, the flowers for the back patio and pool area.

My actual day went like this: I got up and found that my daughter took the vehicle to school, so Im stuck here until she gets out of school. I can't prepare the evening meal ahead of time because I am out of milk and no vehicle to get to the store. Then, daughter comes home early from school due to be disciplined at school ( huge no no in my house!). So now I am pissed. I put her to work in the house, ground her etc. Get the patio table and chairs outdoors, begin to clean away the debris of broken limbs etc from the winter's damage. Decide to go to the flower mart and purchase the flowers for outdoors. It is beautiful outside, about 85 degrees, sunny, I am so ready for summer. While at the flower mart I overhear a conversation about the weather. It is supposed to rain and hail later today. Scratch the flower purchases, they will only be ruined. I opt to purchase one plant, the one that will go on the table ( I can look at it indoors). No time for the serious shoe shopping that I need to do so now my feet and back will continue to hurt until my next opportunity to shop.

Next, I also went to purchase milk while out at the flower mart so that I may prepare a lovely dinner. After scratching the plans to complete the patio, due to the expected rain and hail, I now decide to focus on a grand meal. Father of children drops son off from school, son has McDonalds. No use preparing a grand meal for a daughter that is in trouble, a son that is eating McDonalds and I'm now too pissed to be hungry.

It's only 4:30 p.m. maybe I can salvage this day. I'm gonna watch Judge Judy and the news. Then if there is no rain or hail, I will still attack the patio. It would feel good to complete at least one of my goals for the day.

Wonder if the dogs are in the mood for my Supreme Chicken recipe?
