Best Day EVER

Today started out fabulously and just got better and better. It has been the best day EVER!!

Brennan woke up at 4 am, when I had to be up for the day at 5:30am and had stayed up until after midnight with Rob. Finally got him down enough to shower and get ready to head out. We had an appointment for B in another town with his surgeon to make sure we were still on track for the surgery we have scheduled for June for him. The plan was to take the girls to school, see Sienna's science project and then head out with the boys. We had asked ROb's dad to be available in case we didn't make it back in time to be here when the girls got home from school. All was well and, as I generally enjoy, planned out in advance.

Got the kids up, fed them and made a lunch. Went to turn on my computer to see what shifts I Had to work tonight, since I had taken most of the day off. Only..uh..my computer wouldn't turn on. Yk, the computer I have to have for WORK? Seems that the video card is shot. And since it's a laptop, so is my computer. At least my harddrive contents are salvageable. *sigh*

Ten minutes before we're set to leave, and as I'm loading people and things into the van, Rob's dad calls and says he's not goign to be able to help us out because he JUST agreed to go to idaho and help tow a friend who broke down. So, we're left scrambling trying to make sure that there is SOMEONE who can be around just in case we're not. Oh, and Rob's dad has our house key so we need someone that won't need to be in our house. Was able to get that all taken care of as we were walking out the door.

Got to B's appointment and waited for 45 minutes AFTER our appointment time to see the Dr. Discussed the surgery and found out that the defect is worse than originally thought, so the surgery is definitely important. Talked about how they're going to put my baby under and then give him an epidural thingymadohickey (damnit, next time someone come with me take notes, okay?) so they can perform the reconstructive surgery he needs. Discussed all of the after effects and pain management etc.

Went out to lunch and hit the road. We got home just before the girls got off the bus *phew*.

My computer is SHOT. Dunno where we're gonna get the money for a new one. I'm on Rob's right now but ALL of my work stuff is on mine, obviously. My work links, passwords, email, alllllll of it. So Rob is less than happy because 1)I'm going to be hogging HIS computer and 2) He has to figure out how to make this thing work for me and put all my crap on it - by tomorrow morning.

He uses his computer to work from home and at night when he gets calls to fix things at work. So sharing a computer is NOT a long term solution. I'm fairly certain we're goign to have to suck it up andgo charge a damned laptop to the credit card with the 23 frigging percent interest. Or, yk, buy another Dell on credit and make payment. Who the hell knows.

So, we're all grumpy and this has actually NOT been the best day EVER. It wasn't the worst day ever, but I'm thinking we're gonna write it off as being a suckfest.

Luckily I have scheduled most of my posts for the week already in some flash of sheer brilliant foresight (pats self on back). I'm off to try and get ahold of my boss and see if she can get my work passwords for me - which is ging to seriously piss her off and she's not the worlds most pleasant person to start with. I'm a little skeered, yo.

Hope your day was infinitely better.

Peace out.
