bubbles

Know how things just sort of simmer in your brain?

That's what you get tonight, the bubbles released during the simmering from my brain.

Work comp. I had things explained to me better in a 10 minute phone call to someone the work comp insurer owes money to than I had explained over the past 2.5 years from my attorney.

Someone who spoke regular English instead of legalese. And she was very helpful. With a sense of humor.

More on that later. Like in a month. Or whatever.

Our summer program is full. We don't have room for more kids at all. Great for business, not so great for the regulars who put off registering for whatever reason. One of them was pissed off this afternoon about not getting his son registered yet. Not sure what's going to happen, I sure hate to have to turn kids away. :( Not that I have to be the one to do it, but yeah.

Jennifer changed clothes today. She wasn't wearing her crabby pants. Her birthday is coming up this weekend, and she had some gifts for the other kids in the program. She was very excited to hand them out. There were no tears this afternoon. I liked it.

Lyssa is leaving in a week to go spend a good deal of the summer with a friend in MO. She won't be back until mid-August.

Matt is moving out the 29th. And hopefully won't be back to live with us at all... aren't we supposed to boot them out of the nest and have them be self-supporting? 

I'll miss both kids, of course.

But it will be sort of interesting to have NO children at home. Since of course we've had kids for the past 26 years.

If you're one of my local friends, you already know I don't like people to drop in on me unannounced. It's even more important now, since one or both of us may be naked and covered with peanut butter at any given time. :)

I got a mysterious phone call on my cell the other day. If I don't recognize the number, I don't answer it. The guy did not identify himself, just told me that I needed to call him TODAY and gave me an 800 number. Odd. The call came from a local number. So I called the local number to find out what it was. They did answer with a business name, but I can't remember what it was.

I said that someone had left me a message to call. And the woman who answered said, "Give me your name."

Um, no. I told her I had no idea who she was or what they wanted and wasn't about to give her my name or any other personal information if I didn't know who she was.

She asked me if I was (fill in a random woman's name here) and I said no. She wanted to know if I knew that person. No again. So she said they had a wrong number and sorry.

Collection agency. Those people can be total assholes.
Remind me to tell you a story sometime about the collection agency that called me during my last pregnancy.
Asshole.

I had a major reflux thing on Thursday night and slept for a total of about four hours. It didn't help that I ended up with a migraine around 10 PM and again today about 10 AM. Like bookends in time. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So the bubbles are what you're getting tonight... and it's 10 now, speaking of bookends... so I'm off to bed. After an extra dose of reflux medication. Do NOT want a repeat. UGHHHH.
