My Weekend was VERY.....
| Wed, 06-04-2003 - 12:02am |
I can't begin to find a word to describe this weekend...we had to drive 280 miles one way to help our DS move in with us. He injured his shoulder on a catwalk of an oil rig...he keeps dislocating it so the doctor has recommended surgery. He wouldn't have anyone to care for him while he's in recovery where you can't move the shoulder; he also can't work therefore no money.
Friday after DH got off work (which by the way is now a permanent position for him--not more pay but at least benefits :o))we left; got there late. After driving around for about 1/2 hour trying to find his place that we'd been to once for about 5 mins. we showed up on his doorstep to be greeted with "what are you doing here?" ARGH! Not a good sign! We got a motel room & had to try to find a U-Haul truck because there were none within 60 miles of the town. We ended up driving back over a mountain pass for 150 miles to get one! We got the darn thing packed & tried to pick up things that DS had loaned out---we managed to get his dryer but not his tv, steam cleaner or bike.
We drove home on Sun. pm--the stpid truck blew gray-blue smoke most of the way & certainly didn't like the mountain pass we went over! At a potty stop, my DH said "wait a minute" & when I went to check this out (because he never says wait when we're on the road!) they were scrambling to find a screwdriver that would fit in the gear shift on the steering column since the shift had broken off!! We got home early enough to collapse into beds at a decent hour. Monday we unloaded that truck, returned it, got his deposit back & put everything into a storage unit that we're sharing with him. He is turning our garage into his "pad"--so he has some privacy. It's insulated, finished and has a good window. Now we just have to get all his medical in order and get him on unemployment or something. Of course he's bored, bored, bored since he's used to working...but I'm working on that one too!
DS#2 just started his first job as a waiter at a truck stop we frequent. DD#1 is looking fat and sassy--looking forward to Aug and the new baby. DD#2 wants to visit her and just hang out.
It sounds like you all had a terrific time in Vegas! Wish I could have been there instead of our weekend! It would have been so much fun! LOL Reading your messages has been a hoot! Create a geat week! Kathie

Your poor ds, I hope his surgery goes well and he heals up nicely!
Glad to hear your dh has a full time job now with the benefits, just
wish it was better pay for him, but at least he has that for now!
COngrats to your ds and his job, hope that your dd is not too uncomfortable
with this pregnancy and that all goes well! I bet your other dd wants to
hang out with her, soemthing about babies just do that!
Well have a much better week and I too wish you were with us for ours!
Hugs, Lor
TY for the info...Kathie
What I would do is go to the phone book and look to see if there is an 1-800 number or a main office number in your area. My DD's office is reached by an 800 number.
The dealers are kind of lower down on the food chain if you know what I mean.
