Weekends for my family, come and go like ... hotcakes in front of a hungry teenager. Unless they are my teens, who aren't crazy about hotcakes, but I can't complain, neither am I. Anyways, I guess what I was trying to say is, weekends around here, pretty much aren't weekends. It is just two more days that those of us that are parents, have to squeeze in everything that we weren't able to get done during the week, plus attend 4+ hours of marching competition, help another finish his essay paper, and make sure all of them practice their instruments. Let's add-in the time we need to run to friends' weddings/funerals/extended family visits, etc, etc.
Yeah. We live in real life. Not all that shit gets done.
On "regular" weekends, I make sure of one thing ... either Saturday or Sunday, we go out to eat as a family. Now if the Daughter is up (with or without the SIL) she's invited. And sometimes we invite the MIL (as we did Saturday night). So we had dinner last night, today my Redskins were playing at 10am (my time, even if they did lose ... again). So I was at the pub, had some beers.
Oh hell. I ain't pissed now at nobody but the Wife. She had an MRI today, to help figure out some neuropathy issues she has going on .... but failed to remind me today she was going for an MRI. Yes, she gave me a date, many days ago, but my memory is terrible. It wasn't written on a calendar, or anywhere else. I even spoke with her for 15-20 minutes this morning, but did she remind me? No. So ... when I heard she was getting it done, I was a bit freaked that she had not reminded me.
It ruined the evening.
I am upset my Wife doesn't want to keep me informed (even as bad as my memory is, and she knows this) nor cares if I am there.
I'm a little pissed off. Maybe I should book a flight for our 25th next year, and go without her - say I forgot to remind her that morning our flight leaves ....
Yeah. That would be a cause to waste 25 years ....
So not happy tonight.
Hope you get some ....

Today could have been a Monday
I worked on scanning til about 4 this morning, then went to sleep on the couch. I awoke to the sound of the TV, so I shut it off and headed to the bedroom. That's when I noticed it was 10 after 7 and everyone was late. I rushed the daughter to band whilst the Wife rushed the boys to grandma's, then on to work. I went back to bed then.
But I got up and started scanning pics again this afternoon, and right now I am quitting for the night. too many hours sitting here on my bum doing that boring job. But I am a third of the way done.
So the issue with the daughter... ha! She comes home tonight, and immediately comes over to me (where I am scanning damn pics) and begins something about how Grandpa gave her the wrong dates for VBS.
Me: So.
Her: Well, that means that the 9th for the baseball game is open for me now.
Me: So.
Her: (best try at a puppy dog face) Dad, I am really sorry about getting mad at you last night about this, but now I am able to go.
Me: Says who? I don't know any details, you haven't asked me, and last night you explicitly tried to tell me it was none of my business.
This is when it got good and she started giving me details, and then asking about some grad party for a friend on Friday afternoon. Plus she had to know tonight so she could call the rides she would need. So the wife and I were discussing all the activity she has been planning, but her chores around the house weren't done. The daughter overheard us and immediately went out and mowed/weed-eated the front. Of course I pretty much approved her going out as long as her mom said she could and had chores done.
Amazing how a mis-date can bring up that apology for a know it all teenager. Wish I had that chance with my dad when I was growing up...
Tomorrow is Wednesday. I am going to the pub to celebrate a friend's bday. After I do some more scanning of course.

Will it ever end?
Most of you that know me by now, know - I can be a damn whiner. And here goes a big whine!!!
The Wife gave me two more huge envelopes to scan. I thought the one was enough, but no. Two more, then we have to do 'our' family. This was a nice idea when it started, until I found out I was the one doing 99% of the scanning. Then I send the pics (after being scanned) to the brother actually doing the project. Then all he has to do is pick the pictures he wants, and that is it. Not a fair trade as I see it.
But it makes the Wife happy. Bet yer ass I am doing it. Hence the 3am AZ post. I am scanning pics.
Of course, stuff happens in-between .... well sometimes.
The family had a good day today at my Sis's place. For the first time, none of my kids cried about leaving there. I thought that was a bonus. I did manage to piss off the 17 yr old daughter though. She brought up in the vehicle, that she couldn't do her baseball thing. I had no clue what she was talking about, so I asked, what baseball thing? The daughter proceeded to tell me it was none of my business. (rut-row)
I simply said, no prob, Mom would tell me later tonight. Then the daughter blew a gasket bitching about how she was invitied to a Diamondbacks game on a certain date with her boyfriend, but she was going to be unable to attend. She had made prior arrangements to help her grandfather with VBS schools in parts of AZ. I said, well, that wasn't so bad to tell me was it? Considering, you had not asked about going yet anyways.
Of course that made her angrier. (sigh) I can't win. I am just going to tell her, if she would ask me first, we could go around mom. You ask mom, she runs EVERYTHING through me. The Daughter just has not realized, that even though I am ok with her boyfriend, she thinks I won't let her do things.... she needs to grow up, and just tell me. I ain't stupid.
So, of course half my family is reading this, but I don't care. Maybe they will realize that all that bitching that comes from the females in my house are not entirely my fault. And if they don't, well they're prolly idiots anyways.
I can't stand stupid people. If ya did something stupid, and you make the next chance better, that's good. That's improvement. Do the same old shit, that's an idiot. Hello daughter.
This post helped me waste time scanning 10 pics. That's all.
