All right my first Friday check-in! Let's see... DD#1 has decided that the coldest weekend in Fedurary is when she has to move across town into her new apartment. I know, I know. I want some good WI cheese and lots of tiny violins to go with my whine about the weather. At least I'm not in Boston.
Just got a call from DD#2's hitting coach, he finally decided to come back from a month in FL. Really, the nerve, thinking you can be retired and just go south when it gets cold around here.
Reminded DD#2 that she has 15 days left to study for SAT. Got frowned at for my trouble. Where's the love I say?
Have to get my mom ready this weekend for her hip replacement surgery next week. She's going around telling everyone that she's going to "get her boogie on" with her new hip. Parents embarassing their kids has no age limits.
Good luck to your mother. My mother had hip replacement surgery last summer. Best thing that ever happened to her.
I once had to move to a new apartment in February. We got a cheap rent on an apartment in Brooklyn because it was in really disgusting shape. We rented as of Feb 1, and spent 2 weeks cleaning it out. We bought a new, expensive, bed, and had it delived to the new apartment. In mid-February, I rented a van, and my brother-in-law helped us move in. It was snowing, and my wife was VERY pregnant. Finally, around midnight, we got everything straightened out in the apartment, all ready for human habitation, and went to bed.
OMINOUS FORESHADOWING: Right when we went to bed, DW tells me to be careful, since she hasn't had time to buy a matress pad yet.
A few minutes later, her water broke. I called a car service, dropped DS and DD #1 off at the in-laws close to Chinatown, and took DW to the hospital in Manhattan. After the most painful delivery possible, DD #2 was born. On the way home from the hospital, it took a while to find a taxi driver willing to take us to the Chinatown area. (Illegal, BTW!)
Yes, I feel sorry for you for having to move in February. I made sure DD #3 brought her violin home.
