today has just been one of those days. when I got in the car -it wouldnt start. I was in such disbelief I must have tried to get the car started for like 25 mins, taking the key out the ignition, making sure all buttons and knobs were in the off position. (my automobile expertise is quite limited). so it turns out the battery was dead as a doorknob. fortunately, i was able to contact a mobile repair service and they came out to replace the battery. this of course meant i was like 2.5 hrs late to work. it has just thrown me off and bummed out for the remainder of the day. and i keep getting this eerie feeling like something awful is right around the corner.
i dunno- cant seem to fight the pessimism today. ... it would be nice to be wrong about this though...

mommy's coming
so Mom is visiting for an entire week, 8 days and 7 nights to be exact. Im excited to see her, its been 4 months. But 8 days with just the two of us could be a recipe for disaster. My saving grace is work, we wont be in each other's face all day - and that will help. Im looking forward to hearing how I need to be a better home maker, driver, dresser, etc... lol. The idea is Mom is coming to help me pack it all up- as I prepare for my exodus. Which couldnt have come at a better time. I started packing then got overwhelmed as boxes began to pile higher and higher. This is my 4th big move in 6 yrs I should be used to it. At any rate, I definately appreciate her coming out to help.
Im trying to rack my brain around "cost-efficient" (I am moving-can we say expensive as hell) fun things to do. I thought about pedicures, lots of window shopping, maybe even a fancy brunch or something. We'll see how this thing pans out.
The funny thing about this is- even Mom is coming to help me pack and clean up- I have to pack and clean up for her arrival. What is that about? Im sure Im not the only one who has the parent coming to visit- got clean and prepare ritual... I wonder if my Mom does that when I come home, or did she do that when her parents would visit her? Its all about making our loved ones feel comfortable.
until next time...
