Yeehaw! It's Friday Again - WAIWO - 07-26-13

Nathan and Lynn at their wedding

Sometime today my son is supposed to call me.  I was just over there - and he has been embarrassed to call me ("my mess and we'll sort it out").  Sherry and the girls have been over there to help and I haven't even been called (nor accepted when I went over there).  Frankly, I feel left out!  So - I took the bull by the horns, and went over there this morning and confronted my son - will go back around noon.  He is super busy with work (his office is at his home and he goes nuts with business calls and training people and resolving problems, setting up networks, etc. etc.).  Lynn has a concussion from a student falling on her last week (Lynn teaches acrobatics, dance procedures and choreography to college kids and her team is going to nationals.  She was "spotting" a kid who was off the ground to prevent them from falling and hurting themselves.  Instead the youngster fell on her!  Definite concussion!) and their little dog is NOT used to living on a busy street (they just moved) and barks at EVERYTHING! which of course gives her horrible headaches! and which means NO rest!

Anyway - in terms of clean up at the old place - that isn't happening yet - no time, no good health.  In terms of cleanup at the new place - no time, no good health.  Sherry has been helping out as much as able.  And I want to help too - I'm VERY GOOD at packing/unpacking/cleaning up and scouring things and putting things away again.  Except for my house which is a whole other story!  But I DID the above for YEARS and raised my son accordingly - as well as put myself into and through college by scrubbing floors. (and then found out how much my college degree was worth - so for a time went back to scrubbing floors! that was before I landed my job in a different part of the country as a social worker.  Easier to scrub floors I think.) So - I will be doing that later on today.  And probably all weekend as well.  and hopefully Lynn will GET SOME REST!

Until Nathan calls me and says come on over, however......
