It's a brand new day!

It's been a day.....

Ok, let me fill you in on my day off. Let's just say- I am ready for a nap!!!

First, I couldn't sleep past 7 because the little alarm clock in my body is automatically programmed to have my ass up at 6 am. I read for an hour before emerging my lazy butt from the bedroom and forcing my self to shower. I read more before I decided to fix my hair and put on clothes. Then at 9:30 I rushed out of the house.

I stopped at the gas station on the way to my parents house to clean and vaccume my car out. We're taking it to Tennessee and today we drove it all day. It was already a mess, and I didn't want to add to it.

I rushed to my parents house to get Karrie, and together we headed to the neighboring town to pick up Jessica's little girl Cadie.

We were 5 minutes early, but ended up waiting for 20 minutes because Jessica was late as usual. Then when we left there we were headed to Michaels house to pick up his little sister. On the way, she called and needed a ride from a friends house so she could go home and get ready. Thankfuly we were less then a mile from the friends house, so we headed over right away and retrieved her.

We went straight to her house so she could change clothes, and while she changed Karrie and I waited in the car- taking an 8 month old in and out is not fun. After the wardrobe change we headed to Michaels parents business so Stephanie could get some money and Michael's mom could see the baby. We were there for a few, then left again on route to my parents house. I had to find the checkbook and take it to my dad at work so he could sign a check so I could go pay my tuition. UGH!

I couldn't find the checkbook. Thankfully he only works a mile from the house. I headed to his work with what I thought might be the right one, but noooooo. Why do my parents have 4 different checking accounts? UGH! He came home early for lunch, dug out the right checkbook, signed a check and we were on our way.

I stopped at the school and left Karrie and Steph in the car with the baby, ran in and paid my tuition and was back out in record time. We went to meet a friend for lunch, who was late. The place we ate at didn't have a changing table and Cadie didn't want to sit in her chair. We had a nice lunch though.

After lunch we headed to WalMart for some necessities I needed for my trip. Stephanie is the biggest pain in the butt to shop with. She only had a limited amount of money, yet she wanted to go down every isle. Well, Cadie didn't want to cooperate. It was nap time, and I expected it. I had to finally tell her that we were only going to go down 2 more isles and we were leaving. She wasn't happy, but she will get over it.

After WalMart we headed to drop off Stephanie and Karrie and I came back to my parents house with Cadie in tow. Scott and Karrie just left for the Kenny Chesney concert and Cadie is peacefuly sleeping in the other room. I love silence.

Now, are you wondering why I say 'It's been a day'? Well, her name is Stephanie. She aggrivates the shit out of me with her snide remarks and her unknowing amount of knowledge. Here are some tidbits:

-"Oh, Michael is going to start talking to my friend Mandy" (With a big grin on her face)

-"Michael said he hooked up with a girl at the beach" (Another big grinn)

I, of course, ignored both of these remarks. She does this everytime I take her somewhere. I don't provoke it, and never bring up the subject of Michael unless someone (other then her) directly asks me about him, or us. While it was just Karrie and I in the car on the way back to my parents house I brought up this to Karrie and told her how much it aggrivates me. I told her about the other times I have caught Stephanie lying to me about Michael. Karrie told me she thinks that she just says these things to get a rise out of me, and see what I will say. I'm thinking the same thing. I've caught Stephanie lying in the past. Once she called to tell me that Michael was out with some girl she had never seen before and she just wanted me to know. He was actually sitting next to me in the restaurant and we were having a nice dinner. Another time she called to tell me that she overheard him on the phone telling some girl he couldn't wait to have a weekend alone with him, and she was standing outside his door waiting for more- but he had suddenly got quiet. Maybe because the girl he was talking to put him on hold so she could answer her cell phone you f**king idiot. She baffles me. Why would she want to drive a wedge between us?

This has been my day. I've put up with little remarks about Michael the entire afternoon and frankly I've had enough. I take her and do things with her because in some ways I believe it's my job since I'm a "girlfriend" or whatever I am. I also feel bad for her because they don't let her go out with her friends a lot, but they will always let her go with me because I'm a "girlfriend" or whatever I am.

I must say, I'm currently enjoying my silence. Although, I have to head over there in a few minutes to help her do laundry. Their washer broke so we're headed to the laundry mat. It's another thing I do because I'm a "girlfriend" or whatever I am.

I will just be glad when I'm home laying in my bed reading my book tonight and I have silence.
