Now I know where this year has gone. Take this weekend, as an example. Thankfully, baseball and softball seasons are over with for the summer, otherwise, it would have been even crazier.
Friday AM 6:10 - DH calls from work. He's going to be late. Some fucking asswipe broke into his car, his partner's truck, the lady next door's car and various other vehicles up and down the street at the ambulance station. His window is gone, the dash is torn up, the tachometer is in pieces...but that seems to be the extent of his damage. His partner's truck window is gone, stereo, speakers, etc are all gone. Neighbor's trunk is open, stuff scattered down her driveway, window gone, and stereo gone. Similar damage to all other vehicles. And his partner's truck has blood all down the door. (excuse me while I chuckle over this. again.)
Friday AM 8:00 - DH finally makes it home. He's beyond pissed off. Not only was this the 65 Ford Ranchero (aka his baby) that he's been restoring and retro-mod-ing, windows are hard to find. And the dash plastic and chrome is nearly impossible to find. And very expensive (roughly $1K for three pieces). *sigh* And of course, because he doesn't drive it very often, we don't have comprehensive coverage on it. Shit. I go to work.
Friday PM 4:20 - DH calls, for about the 5th time. I'm hoping it's good news. He's finally located a window. And it's cheap!!!! Much less than the $200 we were looking at for a custom piece of glass to be cut and fit. Except it's over on the complete opposite side of Dallas. 100 miles away. And, his F250 won't make it over there...it's going in the shop in the next week or so to have the transmission repaired.
Saturday AM 8:30 - Meet up with Rotten2's softball team and bum a ride from her BFF's mom to the water park. DH takes my car (the only reliable transportation with all windows) to the other end of the world.
Saturday PM 5:30 - Rottens, Rotten2's friend, her mom and I finally leave the waterpark sunburned a bit, exhausted and water logged. Call DH to discover he's been home, the window is in his car, and life is good.
Saturday PM 6:15 - We finally get home and Rotten2 scams me.....her BFF is granted permission to spend the night.
Saturday PM 11:00 - All kids finally in bed and asleep.
Sunday AM 9:00 - All kids are awake, DH is at work, and I'm cleaning house.
Sunday PM 1:00 - Drop Rotten1 at his friend's house, meet up with Rotten2's friend's mom to drop her off, go grocery shopping and head home
Sunday PM 2:15 - Rotten1 and friend appear at the house to play. I continue cleaning and scrubbing and steam cleaning.
Sunday PM 5:00 - Rotten1's friend heads home, kids and I wash my car, eat dinner and go swimming. Ice cream for dessert.
Sunday PM 9:00 - Rotten2 crashes out on the couch watching the Disney Channel.
Sunday PM 10:00 - Rotten1 crashes out on the floor watching the Disney Channel.
Sunday PM 11:00 - Sparkling clean house, dog bathed, me showered, and finally I go to bed.
Monday AM 5:45 - Up and at 'em for another exciting week of work. Blah.
Welcome to Summer at my house!!! I'm so glad baseball is over...otherwise there would have been 2-3 practices and one game mixed in that craziness. And of course, DH's car break in wasn't a 'normal' event, just one more of those things that tend to happen just when things are way too busy or you are way too stressed.

LOL Did I write this? Except for all that cleaning crap, I make DD do that. I'm outside working in the yard and garden.
Even though there were hassles for you, I enjoyed reading about your weekend. *a little peek into the Momma household*
I feel like life has been going at the same speed as yours ever since I started working. Which is why I don't do all the cleaning crap. *grin*
Sorry about DH's car! *giggles at asshat who cut himself*
