I don't remember volunteering for this

Yesterday I packed the kids onto the school bus, drove to town, worked all day and drove home. Fed cows, dropped my son off in town for a meeting/information session, drove back home, stuffed some toast in my mouth, drove to pick up the sitter, called the vet about our cat while on my way to pick up the sitter. Dropped sitter and youngest child off at home and raced back into town for MY course that I'm taking. Called 'significant other' for 2 minutes on my way into town. Called friend and asked them to pick son up from his meeting and drop him off at home with my sitter. Sat through course (a bit of a waste, I thought). Drove home, peeked into kids' rooms (they were sleeping), drove sitter home. Called 'significant other' while collapsing into bed. He fell asleep on the phone. I yelled to wake him up and we said goodnight.

*yawn*

waiting, waiting and more waiting

At this exact moment I am sitting in an office that isn't mine, behind a desk that doesn't belong to me, in a town I don't live in, while trying to provide tech support to the same company that I've been trying to make a break from for the past 6 months.
Sometimes I just have to shake my head and ask 'what am I doing here, exactly?' I've fixed most of the things I came here to look at - but I'm waiting on a phone call in order to put the last of everything in order. So here I wait. dum dee dum dum.

Maybe now would be a good time to ponder the soap opera that has become my life.
In the past year I have:
finalized my divorce (5 years after the fact!)
moved out of my house in town
moved in with my boyfriend
become a landlord
changed my address
changed my phone number
changed my cell phone # twice
sold my car
bought a freaking minivan
became a step mom
quit my job, agreed to keep my job, agreed to work part time and tried to quit my job again
helped my parents move farther away
become engaged
sent my youngest child to start school
learned how to run a tractor
learned to take care of cows (3 babies so far - and counting!)

What a lot of change.
My 'significant other' has been home for 2 days this year (NOT an exaggeration) and it's almost the end of February.

Nothing but crap

What a terrible week it has been for shopping! I bought 2 things online last week. I received them and ripped open the package and BOTH of them were broken.
The REALLY crappy thing is that they were 2 different things, from 2 different stores, bought on 2 different days. How unlucky can a girl get??

It pisses me off though because I feel like I wasted my time and energy being excited about purchasing them in the first place. Now I have to expend MORE energy to return them so I at least don't get screwed out of my money.
