I'm a worry-wart.
Right now I'm super stressed about various things in my world.
I try not to worry, but sometimes it consumes me.
Yesterday was a super intense worry day for me.
For the first time in 20-years hubby actually tried to understand my worry behavior.
Yesterday the washer broke.
Hubby pressured me to do something I wasn't ready to do (and no it didn't work out)
Now I'm worried about whether or not we can fix it.
We found my daughter's room has a LOT of spiders.
Someone hurt my baby girl with words yesterday.
There is a law in Illinois that new driver's cannot have more than ONE friend in the car for the first year of having their license. I understand why. It's for their safety. I received a phone call last week from a helper from my daughter's high school cheer squad. She wanted to know if Caitlyn could drive girls to an event, or if I was one of "those" parents who actually didn't allow that. I explained that I don't think a parent should encourage or allow a child to break any law. It is the LAW. She giggled and said that she was certain I would before the year was up. I explained that I have a 20-year old (so I've been down this road before) and I don't break the law, any law, for anyone and I won't let my children. At cheer last night this same woman announced quite loudly that my daughter wasn't allowed more than one rider in her car. Girls snickered. The coach did nothing. My daughter was humiliated and upset, but she wasn't angry about following the law. Apparently I am the only parent from the squad who enforces the law. I'm tempted to inform the police and school district about this. As it is not the first time the cheer squad has had girls driving groups before their one year. Yup, I'm angry. Yup, I am worried about how these girls treat my daughter. How the adults treat my daughter.
But, there are other things...
Stuff happening today?
Yesterday the pump went out on my washer. (it's 5 years old)
Repair man coming this morning.
I do not like bugs. Of any kind.
Orkin is a regular here. He's coming today too.
In an effort to be more social, we are having friends over today for a BBQ.
Nothing fancy, just hot dogs - hamburgers - brats... A regular ole' bbq
Hubby will be having a couple of his new favorite...
I probably need one of these...
We're having company on Sunday too.
And then again on Thursday and next Saturday.
Hows "stuff" in your world??

That makes me angry on your behalf, and your daughter's, too. Hello? There are reasons for those laws, and what are you teaching your kids if you allow/encourage them to break said laws? I'm on your side, sista!
Washer problems suck. So do spiders. So do mean girls.
BBQ with friends and beer and drinks, however, do not suck. That sounds like a lot of fun. I'll be thinking of you while I am working three 12-hour night shifts in a row (sat thru mon) and then a chemistry midterm on tues, then getting my mother moved up here to Lebanon after she gets released from the psych ward at my hospital. Yep, it's some good times around our house, too.
Feel any better?
Well as the wife in law enforcement I would suggest telling the cops and that would surprise that mom. I agree with you. I did the same thing.....well, I guess it did make a difference when dad is a cop in the house, but they did listen, most of the time...most...I would say but driving safety was always top of the list. (I can't say I was a good example of driving the speed limit) but I try.
Good for your daughter for understanding. Mine would have slammedthe door in my face during that age.....hormones!
