Setting With Kris

I woke up and it was Thursday morning and I had lost a day in between. Wednesday was the last day of child care. Yes this is Thursday and my little man is still in bed and Sherri is getting ready for her last day of work. Coffee is being brewed and I have taken this short bit of time to sit down and post before my little man woke up. He is suppose to be picked up today and then I will have time to get the things done I need to do.

Our RV is just about destroyed…toys everywhere…bits of paper scattered all over…after a while I had just given up on trying to keep it clean. I could manage to make the beds…do the dishes and take a shower…but beyond that nothing else could be done to even stay up with the little storm that was staying here.

OK I can wait a little longer and then I will be able to start cleaning and finish up some of my chores that have backed up here. I still have only waxed half the RV. Yes I know it has been a month since I started that project but 100 degree weather has kept me indoors most of the time. I will have to wait until fall to finish that project and then I will schedule it for cool weather twice a year. With Mark Hall’s formula and my wax that I use my rig will stay shinny for a long time.

So 4:00 rolled around and no word on anyone coming to pick up my buddy. About 5:00 Sherri showed up and she wanted to know where I relief was. I told her that they had not called so she got on the phone to them to find out what the hold up was. Had they left town? We were getting desperate about this time and wanted to know when they would be there to take over for a while. Sherri did get in touch with them and they were just waiting us out to see if we would ever call. By this time we were ready to go and eat. Sherri told them to just wait and we would call them as soon as we got back from eating and then they could come and pick Kris up.

After that conversation one of Sherri’s friends called. She had gone to Sonic after work to get a cold drink and her car had died and would not start. Sherri told her that we would come there and stay with her until help arrived. Becky called roadside assistance to come and tow her car to Young Chevrolet in Dallas and we stayed until they came to get the car. Becky jumped in with us and we followed the wrecker over to the dealership to leave the keys. After we got that taken care of decided to head over to Applebee’s to eat. We had a good salad and a good laugh over the car situation and then we took Becky to her motel room and we headed back home.

Our relief showed up and we said our good byes until the next time we would be called on to help out. I already miss the little guy….I know I am a sick puppy but I can’t help it. He and I have formed a bond that is hard to break after all these years of me taking care of him. Oh well I have plenty to do to keep my mind busy.

Sherri and I head towards Tyler next week. I have an appointment with the VA in Dallas Saturday to have my physical. Yes another one for my VA care….I will be under their care from now on. I have to go through the whole routine again and then get my doctor set up….you know the whole nine yards.

Well guess that is about it for this day. I will give you the rundown on my day of chores the next time you tune in….
