Friday, August 10

I need to vent.  My day started with one of my grandsons (21 going on 14) called.  He just started a new job a couple of weeks ago and assumed he would get paid today so his account is down to $2 overdrawn and it will be another week for his first paycheck.  8:30AM - "Grandma, can you put $80 in my account to last me til next Friday?"  Sucker that I am I told him I would.

I had planned on going to Home Depot today anyway and looking for a new faucet; however, Cowboy was still in bed and had not planned on going so early.  changed my plans and when Cowboy got up we went to WalMart and deposited the money and I picked up some thumb drives.  Am in the process of doing backups and ran out.

I take Cowboy to breakfast at WalMart's McDonalds.  After we finished our business there, I suggested he go to the bathroom.  "I don't need to go to the bathroom" he says and so we go on to Home Depot which is right next door.

Get out of the car and in the first set of doors and Cowboy announces "I need to shit".  I was trying to get him to move along and he got upset and insisted I go ahead and start my shopping, he could find the bathroom and he knew where the plumbing department was and would join me.  Rather than cause a scene I went on.

I pick out a faucet.  Takes a few minutes, still no Cowboy.  I start looking for him.  I ask an employee to check the bathroom.....no Cowboy.  I start searching the store and find him at the front by the cashiers.  I pay for the purchases and the clerk tells me he had started for the restroom and then came back and was standing around.

He had soiled his clothes so we came home.   I just wanted to scream at him "Now you know why I bought the disposable undershorts !" but I didn't.  I got him undressed and in the shower and the clothes in the washer and then I just lost it.  I couldn't keep the tears contained no matter how hard I tried.

On a positive note I made a decision yesterday evening to get the granite and the man came out and measured and I placed the order.  It is going to be beautiful !
