Sister Delusions…

delusions

Rae just got back in town from her vacay. I know, hard life right?

 

So, I got a call from her last night:

 

Rae: So, I was just wondering what time the move starts tomorrow?

 

Me: Well, we pick up the Uhaul truck tomorrow by 10. So be ready by 10:30am.

 

Rae: Ok, so is my bed still there?

 

Me: HA HA. You’re JOKING right? We moved everything! There is very minimal stuff in the house.

 

Rae: OK OK I was just checking. Anyways, I can’t do a lot of heavy lifting tomorrow…

 

Me: WHY?

 

Rae: I have a sunburn!

 

Me: ROLLING EYES OVER THE PHONE.

Moving Weekend

And the fun continues. The “official moving weekend” is now upon us. Anyone out there want to come and help out?

 

Yea, I didn’t think so….it doesn’t hurt to ask though. It should be cooler today only 100, according to the weather channel…..

 

So, let me know…..I’m never one to turn down free help!

 

Oh, and one more thing, do you think the NOT IT rules work in this situation? Here’s hoping!

Dear God,

Please make it stop. The moving, the stress, the crazy people, the boxes that follow me everywhere, the crazy people, the moving, the boxes, the crazy people….well I think you get my point.

 

I’m tired. You win. I can’t handle anymore. I promise to be good…well for now anyways. IF and only IF you will just make IT.ALL.STOP.  Sound good? Do we have a deal?

 

PS. One last thing, can you also make it not too hot this weekend? A little rain might even be good, to keep me cool during the move.

 

How about it?

 

Can we work this out?

Sisters: Gotta love em…

So, both my sisters are off on their “vacations” this week. Thus “getting out of helping” their older, wiser, amazing, smartest older sister move. EVIL SLACKERS. And yea, they DID plan this on purpose.

 

It’s “sister code” for getting out of  things we don’t want to do, well that and selective hearing. Irregardless, we text each other constantly just to rub it in.

Texting

Sar: I’m having an AMAZING, RELAXING time! How’s the move going?

Me: I HATE you. WHEN DO YOU GET BACK HERE to help?

Sar: Eh, Friday.

Me: You will be my slave!

Sar: I guess I DO owe you

(Remember people…I watched her EVIL puppy)

Than later on the younger one starts in…

Rae: Oh. Graduations are SO torturous! My life is WORSE than yours!

Me: OMG you are on VACAY. SHUT UP.

Rae: I’m hot.

Me: SHUT UP. I’m HOT AND MOVING.

Rae: SO what! Going to graduations are worse.

Me: I would go to 1000 graduations in trade for you moving us.

Rae: LOL

 

They are both dead meat when they come back.

 

HEAR ME? I know you are reading this, EVIL SISTERS.

 

PS. Don’t worry, I will save a LOT of boxes for you to help with!

TGIF YET?

So, I’m not gonna lie. I’ve been avoiding calling our landlord because well it’s just ONE MORE thing I have to deal with and I am just not up for it.

 

Last night was the last night I could avoid her, she left me a long message. Here’s how it went (now don’t get me wrong, she is nice and all….BUT, the pressure of everything is getting to me):

 

voicemail

Landlord: SO, we need to touch base. I was just wondering if maybe I could get the keys back from you tomorrow and we could get everything sorted out?

Me (cursing under my breath at the voicemail): WHA? Tomorrow is ONLY WEDNESDAY! We have til Monday, right?

Terror grips my heart as I screech at Hubby

Hubby: Yea, just call her back and tell her.

Me (again, this lady is so nice, but I have reached my limit remember): WHY is EVERYONE so dumb? I cannot take the stress anymore. I am cracked…everywhere. Why does everyone want something from me.

Hubby: Just call her. Tell her she has to wait til Monday.

 

So, I call her. With that I tell her there is no way, unless hell freezes over, which who knows…it might…that I can get the keys to her before Monday, June 1. I mean that is what our lease goes to…..to which she is completely kind about. As I continue on about how work is killing me, and I can’t take a day off this week due to a major report being due and I have ulcers, and I am dying, and my sisters are out of town…and we just got the apartment and there isn’t enough time in the day….well, I think you get my drift.

 

So, anyways….yup, that’s my life right now…..Danger ahead. Steer clear!

Me: SO whose idea was it to move during summer? 

 

Me: I am never moving during summertime AGAIN.

 

Me: IT’S SO HOT OUTSIDE.

 

Me: I think I have heat stroke. I’m dying.

 

Me: Are we done yet?

 

Me: How much more do we still have?

 

Hubby: Are you DONE complaining yet?

 

Me: No. Not really.

 

Hubby: All you do is complain and moan.

 

Me: Yup, I don’t deny it. But, that is because I have reached my capacity level of how much I can handle. I am out of steam.

 

And after this weekend….with our animal farm of dogs. I think between me, all the dogs, lack of sleep and our chaotic mess of a house….Hubby has reached his capacity of things he can take too….

Memorial Day

May 25, 2009 By: gbu2 Category: holidays, humor

memorial_day_food

So, normally when I think of holidays my mind goes directly to beaches, vacations, sleeping in, lounging by a pool, reading a good book, eating lots of yummy food, grilling, hamburgers, hot dogs, relaxing, drinking mixed drinks,  lounging, being fed breakfast in bed (french toast to be exact)….ok, maybe that last one is a little far fetched cause Hubby would be rolling his eyes at this point.

 

But, here’s the thing: this “holiday” weekend has NOT been fun. Not that I am not thankful and contemplative of the Holiday, I am. Truly. But, this just isn’t what I had imagined for my 4 day weekend. Instead, I have barely showered, been cleaning up puppy piss (cause remember my sis said he was potty trained…yea right), barely sleeping,  moving in the hot sun, definately NOT drinking enough, and there has been a lack of beaches, reading, resting and sleeping in.

 

So, what’s my point?

 

I’m crabby. I know, you’re shocked, right?

 

I’ve decided that today we are doing something fun before I combust. I don’t care what we do. But, I am going to start with waking up Hubby and making him take me to breakfast. French toast is calling my name with mounds of sugar on it. Hello, sugar high.

 

Then after that, maybe go to a baseball game and eat some hamburgers and drink BEER because that is what people DO on the holidays. And I will not go back to work tomorrow hearing how rested and relaxed everyone is….while I hide in the corner rocking myself…..today we WILL have some fun.

 

Oh yea, that is after we drop all these dogs back to my sisters. I never want to see another dog again! Let the fun begin…

 

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

The Plan

May 24, 2009 By: gbu2 Category: Bad Behavior

 

He is NEVER tired...

He is NEVER tired...

Obviously, I have way too much time on my hands today….OR I am trying to get out of helping with the “next load” that needs to go over to the apartment. Now that the sun has gone semi down and my heat stroke excuse won’t work….

 

Me: So, what is our plan to tire out the evil puppy tonight, so he can sleep? OR am I just sleeping at the apartment tonight?

 

Hubby: NOPE you don’t get to escape THAT easy. We are feeding him vodka as a nightcap!

 

Me: Ok, good plan. But, I am still sleeping at the apartment….just in case the vodka doesn’t make him sleepy. He does seem to have ENDLESS energy…what if the vodka just makes him crazier?!

Not a Bad Idea…

Moving Sucks. Enough said.
