Yes I Did…Just Have a Pity Party

It's time for "Yes I Did Friday". This is the brainchild of Jeanette, so make sure you head over to her blog and link up.

Yes it is 2am on Friday morning and I'm sitting up because I'm scared to go to sleep. Taylor's fever is 103.5 right now and she is very "out of it". I know she is the one that is sick. She is the one that has to deal with feeling bad, but right now, I'm just very tired.

Yes I am having a moment of feeling sorry for myself. At least that's what I think I'm feeling. Right now, at this very moment, I wish I had a "normal" child. I wish I had a child who could tell me exactly how she is feeling. I wish I had a child that didn't have seizures. I wish I could trade the worries I have right now with the worries of…is she passing her college classes, do I like the boy she is dating, is she practicing safe sex.

My "Yes I Did Friday" post is just one big old poor me post and I apologize ahead of time to everyone. Maybe it's the lateness of the hour, or earliness depending on your perspective. Maybe it's that I'm tired and I just wanted to sleep in my own bed and not the lumpy couch that always sucks my butt in between the 2 cushions, forcing me into a V shape.

Yes I Did force you, my fellow readers to participate in my surprise pity party. Awww…screw it. I'm done already. I've given Taylor some medicine and I'm going to go do some mindless infomercial surfing, unless I get lucky and find an interesting show to watch in the middle of the Snuggie and Obama Chia Pet commercials.

Thank you for letting me vent and get it all out of my system. I promise I only have moments of self pity and I try to make them few and far between.

I think I need an AP & Nikki B intervention! They make me laugh.

Yes I Did!

"Yes I Did" ignore my daughter's phone call. I have specific ring tones for my daughters, click here to see how appropriate it is for them. Anyway, when I heard it, even though I knew my daughter was having a particularly rough day, I didn't answer it. I needed 10 minutes of peace. However, mom guilt kicked in and I called her back in 5 minutes. I do love her…honestly I do.

"Yes I Did" tell a customer to take their computer somewhere else to be fixed because he was being obnoxious. My man is a well-known and very trusted as a computer repair guy here in our town. We are so busy right now that I don't need to burden him with annoying customers.

"Yes I Did" listen in to a conversation in the doctor's office (well, you can't help it when you are sitting right next to people and they are talking loud). This family was trying to figure out what a certain drug was. You know I'm "almost a doctor" because of Taylor (inside joke certain people will get), I told them what the medicine was generally used for and then told them to discuss the side effects with the doctor.

What "Yes I Did" moments did you have this week? Join in…you'll have fun.

Yes I Did!

Jeanette started "Yes I Did!" Fridays.

Friday is the day to fess up to doing something that didn't exactly make us the brightest crayon in the box. To own the things we knew we shouldn't have done, but did anyway. Or to share something that we are proud of ourselves for accomplishing! So here is what I DID do this week…

I couldn't figure out how to start this post so I absolutely "borrowed" the above paragraph from Jeanette's blog. Okay, so maybe stealing would be a better word, but Yes I Did!

I most certainly DID tell my grandkids that the Nick Jr channel was going to sleep because it was the opening night of the NHL season and my favorite team was playing. I just had to change the channel. Of course, karma bit me in the butt as my team lost.

I let Taylor eat Apple Jacks for dinner the other night because there wasn't anything else she wanted. I didn't even put flaxseed on it or use organic milk.

I totally lost track of the fact that our business (home) opens at 9am and I was still in my pajamas when a customer came to the door. Good thing I'm a fast dresser.

I also spent so much time reading posts at OHIH, that I got behind in all my other work.

I'm positive that there are many other things I've done this past week that would qualify for this post but I just can't seem to remember them. It would appear that I'm going to have to start writing things down as they happen next week.
