Supposed to get up to 51 degrees today.  Mr. Weatherman is already playing around and messing with my head.  He was saying it would be 68 on Saturday and partly cloudy.  This morning, I see that it’s changed to 64 and rainy.  We’re taking the RV out for the first time this year and I hope he doesn’t let me down.  

I seem to be having one of those weeks where everyone is letting me down.  I’m getting frustrated.  Called the doctor about my, ummmm, “problem” because they did lots of tests in the second week of January and told me they’d get back to me.  The nurse tells me the doctor (the one I waited 2 1/2 months to see) is on sabbatical in London and won’t be back for a year. She left two days after my appointment.  The nurse wanted to know how the medicine was working for me.  Told her they didn’t give me any medicine.  She also noted that I missed an appointment two weeks ago.  What appointment??? We finally came to the conclusion that the doctor had left orders for a prescription and another appointment for more tests but left the country and no one ever followed up with me.

Got the spa cover back yesterday.  Paid $70.00 to ship it there and back and they repaired the seams by cutting away the torn area and re-stitching it.  Of course, the cover fit so tightly over the insulating panels that, even though DH was very careful in working it, inch by inch, back on, it ripped right back out when he tried to zip it up. I looked at it last night when I got home and I can’t believe how much they cut off.  There’s no way it would ever have gone back on.

Worked all day yesterday and had a staff meeting after school. Raced home to drop the boys off and then turned right around and drove all the way back to school for an ROTC Booster Club meeting only to find that the president  and secretary didn’t make it even though they had invited several parents of cadets who were being inducted into the Kitty Hawk Society. That left me being the only officer present so I had to run the meeting and didn’t even know what the heck the Kitty Hawk Society was.  By the way…the guy who was presenting the awards didn’t show up either.

I finally got home at 7:30 feeling like the whole world let me down yesterday.  I didn’t let myself down, however.  I ate healthy.  Came home and DH had picked up a Veggie burger from Subway for my dinner.  I should have exercised but it was another twelve hour workday and I was just too tired.  I ate my sandwich, watched American Idol, and went to bed.  Come to think of it…American Idol let me down, too.  What a pathetic show.  Maybe it was the mood I was in but I didn’t see much talent at all last night.  I hate the way they’re doing the eliminations this year.  Some of the contestants they eliminated in the first group were a lot better than anyone in last night’s group.

So…here we are…facing a ten hour day today and I have to deal with the doctor (or lack of), the spa cover (again) and send the minutes of the ROTC meeting to everyone who didn’t show up.  I get so tired of people not doing what they’re supposed to do. I did my part, now, you do yours!  Please, Mr. Weatherman, do what you promised.

6:00 am. - Mr. Scale did what he was supposed to do.  He’s showing me 176.5 today.  See how it’s supposed to work, folks?  I do my part and everyone else is supposed to do theirs.
