I am driving down to Richmond, VA tomorrow. WhooHooo?? Can you feel my excitement? Going home stresses me out and I am going home to care for my mother who is having back surgery this Friday. I would not be exaggerating if I said my family makes soap operas and Danielle Steele novels seem lacking in melodrama. Last night I could not sleep. I live by the shore and it was windy. It sounds like the house is under attack. I laid there once again imagining how the Chinese could invade the United States and the strategies they might use. Please don’t ask why I was thinking this. I am just along for the ride when it comes to my imagination. So no sleep and a long list of stuff to get done. Must buy mayonnaise, drop off library books, deposit checks, do the laundry, and pack. What wife leaves her husband without mayonnaise for his sandwiches? Me. I still forgot to get the mayonnaise, however my friend Nicole has promised to open the door and throw in some food at least once while I am away for the next two weeks. I have been running around trying to get my laundry done. This includes the jeans that my nephew projectile vomited onto this afternoon, because I haven’t learned you don’t shake a baby up and down on your knee after they have just eaten a whole jar of apple crap. While waiting for the laundry to finish I have determined my cat Infiniti G37 has learned to hypnotize me, because for the past two days I have fallen asleep on my bed while playing fetch with him and his milk jug rings. The phone rings, I pop up, stub my toe and then curse a credit card company for waking me up from my nap and yes I know I don’t have a balance and no I haven’t forgotten how to use my credit card! As I go to pack my bag, I discover that one of my cats peed in my favorite bag. I don’t know why but I sat in the floor crying. The hubby saves the evening by bringing home Chinese from our favorite restaurant and engaging me in a bit of lively banter. My fortune cookies says, “The star of riches is shining on you.” I feel like the luckiest woman in the world because I have a husband that loves me and completely gets how stressed I am. But if a star of riches is shining on me, maybe I should buy a lottery ticket.

Sounds like a bad day with a happy ending.

(LOL) I just finished a melodramatic post about an upcoming back surgery. The best I can hope for is that I don’t slug the anesthesiologist after surgery like I did during my last surgical outing. In any event, I plan on returning with plenty of dirt on the medical staff (who knows who is having affairs) so it will probably be worth it.
As for your cat, they are something aren’t they? They pee everywhere like that on purpose, so I don’t know what you did, but it must have been bad.
And I wish your Mom all the best~ I will keep her and you, and the rest of your family in my prayers~
Cheers~ Ann
A Nice Place In The Sun

[sarcasm]I am surprised he got you your favorite chinese food after you failed to get the mayonaise. Or did he not yet know you had forgotten it?[/sarcasm]
Our cat has not peed anywhere other then her litter box. At least not that we are aware of.
