Should I even bother trying to set a goal for today? My grandparents are already scheduled to come down to visit at the store today… a little excursion for them. And I’ll go over to visit them this morning, both to check and make sure the DVD set up is still working for them (we have to remember these are new-fangled gadgets AND my grandfather’s eyeset isn’t what it used to be. The remote buttons are so small. And grandma has forgotten how to read, operating a remote is way beyond her abilities at this point.) I’ll also be reminding them that the little bus is coming to pick them up after lunch and bringing them over to see me at work.
Then I have a million and one things to do at work. I didn’t clock out until after 9 last night. That’s a long-ass work day! I’ll be back in before 9 this morning. I’m turning into my mother! Just a few more days until she’s back and can resume her own workaholic role! I can’t do it!! I did get caught up on some bills and inventory check in, so it was worth it. But I still have several orders that have to go out today and some paperwork that should have been emailed two days ago!! I have to do that FIRST THING!! (I keep forgetting about it. I think the Alzheimers is starting already! Early onset at age 39!)
Oh, and don’t forget. I’ll have Skye with me today! Yep, since she was sent home from school sick yesterday there’s no way I can send her today. So she has to go with me to work until Jason gets out at 12:30. At least I have a Senior who only goes half-days since he has “career management” which means he gets credit for working. Niiiiiice!!!
I’ve decided that he needs to get that driver’s license. I’ve been holding his permit over him as an incentive to get good grades. I think we’re past that now. He needs to start and practice driving while he’s still under parental supervision. California has really strict teen driving laws, so it’s now. And to be honest, I’ve been afraid to let him. This surprises me as I’m not generally the over-protective mom-type. But I don’t like riding in cars as a passenger, period. I hate the lack of control. Even with my mom (well, she is a CRAZY driver! It’s amazing she hasn’t died or killed someone. I am counting the days til she is old enough and we can yank her license, she already drives like someone who has dementia. And she thinks she’s this great driver. Ok, so I guess we all do! LOL!!) Anyway, I need to let that go. As teenage boys go, mine is one of the best. It’s rare you can describe a 16 year old as responsible, but that’s exactly what he is. It’s time that I accept he really is growing up and can handle this. It’s me who can’t handle it. I’ll tell him today to call and schedule his driver’s ed classes. That’s my goal for the day. To let my son grow up. Oh, going to the gym is way easier!!
