I should know by now...

to not believe things Nurse Sue tells me. She told me on Tuesday that they'd call me later that day or Wednesday with my 2nd test results. Since I hadn't heard, I called the York office yesterday. Anita checked with Melanie. Apparently the lab only runs those tests on Fridays. I had some misinformation from Sue last time I started down this path. She reminds me of my dad's woman. Why pretend when you know you don't know?

This evening is my (former) office manager's thank you party. I can't go. Steve is on call & MIL wants to leave as soon as I get there so she can deliver the high chair she just sold. Just as well. I don't feel like sitting around in a smoky bar anyway. That reminds me, I'm supposed to give $5 towards his gift. Better start digging thru the change in the bottom of my purse. Payday isn't until tomorrow and I'm still a paycheck to paycheck budgeter.

MIL stopped up last night to get the high chair back from us (we tried to sell it for her in the yard sale). I thought she was gonna pass out when Stef went down the 2 steps from our porch to the driveway. Then she was all beside herself because Stef was *gasp* running! Sigh. I love my MIL. I love my MIL. I love my MIL. I'm not the type of mother who puts her kid in a plastic bubble but MIL certainly is.

ROFL your MIL sounds like my mother. She won't give Jenna even a penny for fear that she'll put it in her mouth. I'm like ummm she's beyond that stage now mom, however haaaaaaaaaa now I think about it this is the child that put a razer to her lips yesterday morning, so I take it all back I love my mom I love my mom.

Maybe your MIL and my mom should hang out. I actually let Sally have a safety sucker after she got her shots and then *gasp* let her walk to Grammy with it. Bad mommy me.
