Another Day Missed

I went to work early so I would be removed from the fight with Amanda.

I found out later in the morning that Amanda AGAIN didn’t get up to be able to go to school. Well she didn’t go to sleep early. So this going to bed early has not worked yet!

We did go to Amanda’s next appointment with another Doctor. So now Amanda is on meds. But even the doc stated that the meds takes time to take affect. The doc says Amanda has depression.

After dropping me off at work, Cheryl and Amanda got the prescription filled and did all the necessary blood work for what the doc wanted. – Busy afternoon for Cheryl.

For lunch I went to the bar with a friend. I was good and did not have the bun.

Once I got home, I noticed and found out that Cheryl and Eric went grocery shopping. She also had started the first load of laundry.

Because of the daylight saving time thingy, I started to tare apart some of the water bed frame that has been sitting out on the patio outside; I had plenty of light to do a few things outside, still need to do more.

We did have dinner at the table – yes all four of us at the table eating dinner; its been awhile.

I have finished almost all the laundry.

Amanda was to go to bed at 8:00, but no she went at 9:00 because she was hooked on a show and Cheryl let her. Now its 11:04 and she is still awake. She stated that the heat is getting to her. I do not have high hopes that she will be going to school again.

I just wanted to state, that if I had my way I would have taken a lot more things away, but I am trying to compromise with Cheryl. Currently I am so MAD! With Amanda having depression, taking more things away may make it worse, but I am my wits end!

Appointments Day

Well another terrible morning. We still could not get Amanda to get up and go to school. I made a phone call to change an appointment for today. I went to work. When it was time for the appointment Cheryl picked me up and went to the appointment.

After that appointment we wanted to see the other doctor so we waited again for another unplanned appointment.

I returned back to work and went to lunch with a friend to the pantry (always way to much food)

After that appointment we need to contact the insurance company and after several more phone calls by Cheryl, we got another appointment for today.

I left work early so I can also attend this appointment. After the appointment I returned home and Cheryl and Amanda went and got there ordered items from Barns & Nobel and dinner for the family.

Once I was home, I started working on Amanda room. I took down her bed, so now she will be sleeping on the floor. Maybe with her bed on the floor, we might be able to get her up a little easier.

I guess we will see tomorrow, hopefully a better morning, but at least it will be a Friday.

Bad Tuesday Morning

Well the morning started off with Amanda not cooperating about getting up. Finally Cheryl got her ready, but when they got out to the car it had a flat tire. So now Cheryl was going to drive the Jeep, but the windshield wipers switch is broken (it had rained last night). By the time I was going to drive Amanda, she was not happy. So I had to get her into the Jeep and take her to school. At school I had to request assistance to make sure Amanda to attend school.

I returned home to put the spare tire onto the car and I took the flat tire to America’s Tire to get it fixed. I left the tire to be picked up later and went to work.

I came home for lunch and to talk about how we should handle Amanda.

Cheryl and Amanda spent about two hours after school at the tire place to get the fixed tire back on to the car.

When I came home I work on our closet and got the big pile of stuff out of closet and put things away – Now I can say the room is complete. We did talk about someway of getting the treadmill out of their and that would make that room very good looking.

After completing the bedroom, I started working on my desk. I am back to four piles again. Still a lot more to do!

Monday – Busy?

Well Amanda stayed home again – I am not very happy about that!

The building were I work is now officially AARP property. AARP has been leasing it for a long time, and in the last 4 months they finally purchased it! So the supposed cloud of AARP dumping Lakewood is now gone. I have been there for a while, but never worried about it!

So for lunch AARP provided lunch after the ribbon cutting celebration.

When I got home from work, I immediately started working our bedroom and the laundry. I finished the laundry and put away all the clothes. Our bedroom now looks good and everything has its place – it looks nice.

Now I need to work on my desk again.

Finally Delivered - Meeting

Cheryl and the kids went to church with Lisa while I wait for the phone call.

Well I got a phone call to tell me that they should be able to get bedroom set delivered today. After a few more calls the bed should be able to be delivered around 1 to 3 today.

I took my electric scooter to meet the rest of the family at Denny’s for lunch. Denny’s was really slow on getting our food to use. We found out that a cook called in sick so they were under staffed. After lunch, I head back using the scooter.

The guys showed up finally and I helped getting the set all setup.

By the time I finished with most of my putting things away, it was time to head to the High Desert Roundup Meeting (CA4WDC Event) / CA4WDC 2009 Convention Meeting. We were late by 15 minutes. But they did wait for us.

After the meeting, we went to Fry’s to get a power strip and a few other things.

Once getting home, I continued to put things away and now the room is mostly returned back to normal, except with the new bedroom set.

Delivery???

After sleeping in a little bit, I move the bed to the side, and got the room ready for the new bedroom set; While Cheryl and Amanda did their nail thingy today.

Did the normal house picking up and cleaning of the house.

After several phone calls, the bedroom set didn’t get delivered – not sure what caused the driver to notify the store or me, but the outcome is no new bedroom set!

I also started on the laundry. I didn’t start it, until late, because I was waiting for the bedroom set, o well, Now I need to remake the bed so we can go to sleep.

Friday – Friends Over

Well Amanda again did not want to go to school because of some type of not feeling good. I not sure what we can do, but want to take some privileges or pleasures away from her. So – No computer for the day and no TV – she need to relax, read, and/or sleep. I not sure if taking money was agreed on with Cheryl and I, will see.

I called to check on the trailer tire, and all is ok to pick up.

Lunch, I picked up the spare tire for the trailer – it was completed. They got the sensor replaced and all is ok. A friend came with me and we went to Fridays.

I called about the status of the bedroom set. Well it ready so I set up a schedule to have it delivered and setup for Saturday in the afternoon.

Cheryl took the kids over to Subway for diner. Friends came over while Cheryl was out. Us adults when to TGIF for dinner and we talked for a long time.

Another Monday – hmmmm

Amanda was not feeling good, so Cheryl stayed home and made a doctor appointment for Amanda. All is ok, but she will need to change a few minor things so she can stop her stomachache and getting MORE sleep!

Lunch at Dales Dinner – Good omelet.

Return from work, continued with the laundry and completed that. Worked on my desk some more. Got my stacks of papers down to a smaller size. And my desk is starting look more like a desk. – Still have four stacks, but they are neat…

Talked to my mom for about an hour tonight.

O and IF you have been following this blog, my back if finally feeling better, the last couple of days. I changed my setting on the ‘sleeps by number’ bed to a 40.- Cheryl is still at 35. One really interesting thing about the numbers is we have to be on the bed to get that number, but when we are off of them, then the number is a lot lower.

Friday – Waiting For Weekend

Like normal – go to work. For lunch I went home, eat lunch, and took a 30-minute nap.

When I got home after work, we had 4 netflix movies waiting for us. We watched two of them – The last two CD in the series of Invasion.

For the last couple of days I thinking my back problems where starting to go away, I turn the bed up to 40 about two nights ago.

Quick Weekend – To Much Money

Man did this weekend seem to fly by.

I am still having back pains in the afternoon. In the morning I am fine, but by the time we go to bed, my back is really hurting.

Cheryl worked on mom and Lisa machine trying get them both installed with stuff.

Cheryl really wanted us go get the pedestal bed (with drawers), so we went shopping. We went to about 11 different locations asking about. Several of them did not have anything. On of them wanted 4 thousand for the complete headboard, side units and pedestal. We went back to another store and ordered a custom made one, as well as a new headboard and side units. But man it was still expensive a little over $2800. (Dam, that’s going to take awhile to pay off). Now we wait about four to six weeks for delivery.

The kids watched some type of Japanese cartoon movies, and of course it got my attention.

After the kids went to bed I started to cleanup my desk – but I still have a long ways to go.

Thursday – Hump day?

The bed was ok but the verdict is still out.

Another day at work, its Thursday, but it the middle day of the workday so name would be hump day.

I did come home for work for lunch, took a short nap and return to work. We had to continue to fix a production problem.

When I got home, I started on working on the laundry (from the RV).

We started looking for a bed platform with a bookcase style headboard. I think one sold by Target is the one we will get, but still looking.

I am still uploading picture to the Dawgs server but my upload speed is slow, but what do you expect when you are trying to upload over 4gig of pictures and video.

First day at word for this year

Well, back to work.

Our first night on the Sleeps by Number bed was ok. I had the heating mattress on two high it was set at 3; tonight I will set it to low.

My back it still hearting. It started hearting sometime over the weekend. I am not sure if it is the bed in the RV or all the activities that I did.

I didn’t have lunch today, because I needed to take Eric to the Orthodontics to get his braces put on. Afterward, I return to work.

Hopefully tonight I will get a better night sleep.

Day off from work – Day of Mourning

Well work gave all their employees the day for mourning for Past President Ford.

I made use of the day to get extra sleep. The kids and I got the RV cleaned out.

Our new bed came today, so I drained the waterbed and Amanda helped to remove the wood. The plywood and the base have termite damage so all of it must go.

I got the new bed made before I needed to go to the Dirt Devils Meeting.
