How To Start The Week Badly

[flea]

An 8:45 am phone call from the dentist, telling you your daughter has missed an appointment you didn't even know she had because your husband didn't put it on the calendar. Followed by: Girl Scouts work.

I am applying cee-lo green in an attempt to get the grump out of my system.

Do I have a plan for Christmas presents for my own children? I do NOT.

Can you think of music for their age that wouldn't make you want to chew the walls? There comes an age when your own music player is heaven. I'm thinking boom box and CDs, but that's because I'm an old fogey; maybe iPod Shuffle would make more sense, and you could rip CDs yourself.

Is Dillo still young enough for Raffi and John McCutcheon?

Raffi sort of makes me want to chew the walls! We listen to Pete Seeger and Burl Ives at bedtime, or Peter and the Wolf; they share a room right now and have a CD player in there.

My real problem is I gave away all my good ideas to relatives; I need to round up what people are actually giving and fill in the gaps, and work from there.

You are me! My boss scheduled himself a dentist's appointment (back in August) and never told us. Only it is for Wednesday in the middle of a Council of High Muckety Mucks, and they called in advance to remind him.

Dude had 5 months to tell us about this appointment! Also, all the Council of High Muckety Muck meetings were in the calendar by then! Dude, don't make me send a recording secretary with you to the dentist just in case you might make an appointment and then never tell anybody!
