I wish people would time their emergencies better.

A is working a her last shift of a very long week. It is a 12 hour shift that has lasted 15 hours and counting because of an end of the day emergency. Poor little twit is going to be exhausted.

I had a work emergency pop up at the very end of the day too but it is one that I won't be able to fix until Monday and I am so unbelievably disgusted with CPS that unless they fix it by 9:30 Monday I will either cause a violent death have a stroke of my own.

What makes this additionally sucky is that I have a stomach bug and I don't think I can even get off the couch long enough to cook her something for dinner and I don't know that ordering delivery for her gets the same point across.

    Sounds like a very good thing it's Friday at the BGG house. I'm sure A will understand not having a home cooked meal waiting.

    Also, I read to fast and choked thinking you'd called her a little Twat, which seemed like a strange nickname. Reading FAIL.

    Sorry about the stomach bug :(.  I had that last weekend.  Feel better!

    I also thought you called her a twat. Lovingly of course. 

    Takeout from her favorite place gets the point across. DH & I have done this, we understand. It still matters. Smile

    Grrrrrr... this might be my first vent about A on here ever. 

    We both had busy days so we didn't text. So I hadn't told her that my explosive bum problems had gotten a bit worse and that I was couch-bound. Now that she is on the shuttle to her car I mentioned it and so is text-lecturing me. The line that really got my goat (I don't even know what this expression means), "Honey, this isn't just about you anymore."

    Yeah, good thing she told me. As if I am not excruciatingly aware of BGB's movement, whether I am having digestive cramps as opposed to contractions (which I have never felt so just knowing for sure is scary). I am POUNDING water and gatorade. I sat all day alone in a mediation room with my feet up until the judge called our case then asked a colleague for the favor of a ride home so I didn't have to take the train. 

    Grrrrrr.

    :( I think she's probably just worried about you both, not mad. And if she is, pinch her, because she shouldn't be. I hope your bum settles down soon so you can have a quiet weekend.

    Wait, you didn't realize this wasn't all about you???

    I imagine DH saying these things to me, and I will kick his ass mightily when that day comes. Until then, I'm sorry. You're doing all the right things, so the only thing to lecture you on is... um... Bacon?
