I have been in a funk. A very low funk. Cranky, depressed, and not wanting to have anyone around. Well, that was too bad. Had people here all last weekend. Sister and BIL wanted to BBQ ribs for Sunday afternoon. Sister wanted to know if Dude and family would be here, since they hadn't bought enough ribs for all. That added fuel to my smoldering embers. Then I added my own fuel and mentioned I guess they could all come here. I'm SOOOOO STUPID!! She thought that was a good idea. Well, why wouldn't you if you have no home of your own to have a big BBQ? She had already invited my brother, SIL, niece, and her husband, and nephew if he didn't have to work, but hadn't bought enough for my kids? Really? Ok, so I was internally livid. Just wanted to cry, scream and cuss. I didn't.
Stayed home from church to clean more house. My decision. Had to make a trip to Walmart since I had said I was going to take J shopping after church, but kinda forgot about it until I got her text message to ask me to pick up some french bread. Naturally that made me madder. J and I loaded up and we headed to Walmart. J got to do some shopping and I picked up a few other things in addition to the bread. Got home, expecting them to be here to start on the ribs. No one here which SHOULD have thrilled me, but didn't. I just wanted to be alone. Memorial Day this year was harder than previous. I have no clue why this year was harder than the years before, but I suspect it was because I didn't have my "alone" time to deal with it.
This entry has taken me several days to write and since I evidently needed a day by myself, I ended up taking off Tuesday. I told no one and used the day to get a grip and to sew. The completion of a nursing cover and the start of making a 2d one certainly helped. Made a phone that to the state to find out why I hadn't received my refund from 2012 and after an hour (NOT exaggerated) I was told they hadn't received it. I promptly called my tax accountant and told them which the secretary informed me that I should have signed it and mailed it myself. Uhhhh, I don't believe they had fixed it for signature or mailing and I went through my packet that I had from 2012 and nothing there. She said they would make me "another copy" and I said I didn't think there was ever a copy as there weren't copies of my W2s in my folder either. Told me I could come and pick it up and I told them to mail it to me. I could have picked it up the next day, but I was a bit miffed since I was sure they hadn't told me nor had anything prepared for me to mail. I pay a couple of hundred dollars to get my taxes done by them, so I figured they could fork over postage to send me what I should have received many months ago. I was sure that they had forgotten to give it to me when instead of copies I got the original documents in the mail to sign and send to the state. Matter of fact I received the documents the next day and I'm in rural down here. I signed it and mailed it the next day so I'll eventually get my 2012 refund and since I am getting a refund, there is no penalty for sending it late. Thank Goodness.
This is promising to be a quiet weekend with no company and I am really liking it. I did go on quick shopping trip with sister a bit ago and found a pretty blouse on sale at Factory Connection that will go with a skirt that I will wear next Saturday to a wedding. Not looking forward to traveling 3 1/2 hours to go to the wedding and also made reservations for a motel for Saturday night. A is going too and think she's driving her car so got a room for all 3 of us since Owen is at his dad's next weekend. A makes trips fun so it will be okay and she's a good driver so hopefully we have a safe trip there and back home on Sunday.
Sorry this is so very long but since it took all week for me to finish it I guess it is a weeks worth of stuff in one entry.
Have a great weekend and God Bless
