Hmmmm......I had to set the alarm for 5:45 this morning....whew...UGH.....DAMN!!! Not used to getting up THAT early, but Rachel was getting up at 6:15 this morning and I did want to be up and going by the time she came out of her bedroom. And......she is NOT difficult to get up...she just turns off her alarm and then is up and going fairly quickly. She goes into the kitchen and is eating her cereal before I can turn around twice.
We left the house a bit before 7am.....and took probably about 10 minutes to get her over to the Middle School.......she did have an early music ensemble rehearsal this morning at 7:15. From there I drove out to F'town and arrived at the stick/brick a few minutes after 8am.
The Heartland Satellite company was to arrive at 9:30 to begin the installation of the dish and satellite receivers, etc.........however, at that assigned time, no one showed up. And finally after waiting another 30 minutes I thought perhaps I should look at the phone messages, and OF COURSE, he had called yesterday saying that the equipment for my installation had not arrived yesterday, but would be here this morning, and sooooo, he would come to the stick/brick at 1:30pm!!!!! CRAP......I had to be on the road by that time in order to pick up Rachel a bit after three.......knowing the road construction was still going on....I knew it would take me longer than normal to drive back down to Cape.
Sooooo, I tried to call....NO ANSWER! Finally reached someone in their office, told him I couldn't be here this afternoon and asked for the main guy to call my cell phone this afternoon. Guess what? No one called this afternoon!! And I imagine that I will now have to call early in the morning and get this installation rescheduled.....hopefully on Friday???
I picked up Rachel around 3:15....and we came back to the house for a small amount of time. At 4:45 we left to go over to the Civic Center where she needed to register for basketball this winter, and as part of the registration she had to do six tasks such as dribbling with each hand separately and some layups from various spots on the court.
Afterwards, we returned to the house again....and I began to fix supper. Brian wanted some Lasagne which was in the freezer in a Stouffer's box.....GREAT!!!! I fixed some mac and cheese for Rachel, some green beans for Brian and nuked this Lasagne, which actually was quite GOOD!!! Then this evening I made some brownies and now we are all stuffed like Sarah Palin would do to a moose she shot from an airplane!
A good day............and as always.........
LIFE IS REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
