It’s only 11:30 and so far I have mowed the lawn, weeded around the perimeter of the house and the flower beds, gone to the bank and balanced the checkbook.
The Oldest is in Virginia with my father and stepmother, my nephew and my step-sister’s two kids. They left on Thursday and won’t be back until Tuesday. Dad borrowed my van and left me the Cadillac. Which was nicknamed “Daddy Caddy” by my co-workers. Next task on the agenda today – wash and wax, vacuum and Armor-All that bad boy. I had no idea that my dad was such a slob. The car is FILTHY! And since I loaned him the van with no gas in it, it’s the least I can do.
(In my defense, I had every intention of filling the van. I thought auto-exchange day was Thursday, not Wednesday. So when he showed up, I told him I needed to go fill the van, but he said he would do it. I wish I had been there when he shit a brick – it takes $75.00 to fill my van.)
