What’s Life?
“A magazine.”
“How much does it cost?”
“Ten cents.”
“I only have a nickel.”
“That’s life.”
Feeling a bit like that nickel-owner right now. For a month, Mom and I have been planning a “girls’ day out” tomorrow. We’re planning to go shopping and see Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, and eat a nice lunch in a grown-up restaurant–i.e., one that does not serve chicken nuggets and that has no playground or booster seats. Daddy even said he would let me drop off my kids for my ex to pick up so that Mom and I could get an early start.
I haven’t heard from the ex, so I don’t know if he’s actually planning to use his visitation tomorrow or not. Bad juujuu number one.
So this afternoon, what do I feel coming on but another horrendous bout of severe allergies. Scratchy throat, sneezing, sinus congestion. Grrrrrrr! Bad juujuu number two.
I do not want this! I want to be able to fully enjoy my day with mom tomorrow. I do not want to have to worry about whether the ex is going to do his thing or leave Daddy holding the bag. I don’t want to be sneezing myself into insanity. I don’t want to be longing for my bed instead of enjoying the movie.
So. I am drinking miracle tea here and hoping that it will work. Here’s hoping.
