Momma Drama

Wow.
I need a vacation.

Yesterday the mom in me, the clerk in me and the wife in me all had a head-on collision. That all ended with me strapping on my boots, throwing my coat on, and barging out the back door to get the fuck out of dodge. Or "work on my manners" as I tell Trent. You would think that you could expect a smidgen of extra help around the homestead if you are busting your butt getting the records in order for the village audit. Instead I get a man who looks at me stupid when I say "What do you want to do about dinner?" Why does he look at me stupid? Because at 7 am that morning I said "Maybe I'll try my hand at fried chicken if I get this village stuff done early enough." I guess he didn't notice that I wasn't freaking done. By a long shot. Shortly after that go around I noticed that there was a spilled glass of apple juice on the dining room table and all the village invoices that I needed for today were sucking up the juice like a Bounty paper towel. Guess who's juice that was? I give you three tries, and the first two don't count!

Anywhoo.............audit this morning. Went pretty well at first, we were released to go home and field any calls that might have. They called in the afternoon. Myself, the deputy clerk and the treasurer ended up having to back over there this afternoon. Bad news...while the total money for the year balances down to the penny (YAY!!!), the system that we use on the 6 different checking accounts needs a serious overhaul. Caca!!! They can't finish the audit until we get that done, hopefully by next week. I was over there for 2 hours. Ugh, all three kids were in tow, until the first hour passed and the kids got restless so I called the neighbors to get them out of there.

Got home too late to be worrying about dinner. Walked all of us over to the restraurant. WHICH WAS CLOSED!!! Early I might add. Walked everyone home and tossed them into the car and took them elsewhere. Maiya discovered the joy of drinking from a big cup tonight. She would not shut-up if I let her 1/8" of water run out..........

Need to re-group and get started on some of these village repairs and figure out one W-2 that is wrong.

And damn....am I ever thirsty. That never happens.
