Damnit! I had a nice long reply, and I just accidentally got rid of it.
After a nice leisurely morning, I'm heading into hectic Friday. I have to leave for work around 2:30. I work from 3:30-5:00. Then I have to head to my friend's house, hopefully getting there around 6. There, my mom is supposed to meet me with Callie and Luke, transfer them to my car, so I can take them to fly ball. My friend who helps us in class, but has no dog, gets off work at 6, and takes 7-10 minutes to get home. Callie's class starts at 7, and the place is 45 minutes from my friend's house. I ordered Luke a new car harness (a ruff rider), because I decided I was happier with him in a harness than in a plastic crate. It says it is out for delivery, but it has not arrived yet. If I want him to wear it, it needs to get here before I leave for work, because my mom will never figure it out. I can send him in his crate, but I have a feeling my mom won't take him in his crate. The current harness, the pet buckle, fits both dogs, but I do not have time to adjust it from Luke, then move him to the crate in my car, and make it bigger for Callie. I think I'll just put the harness on her, and leave him in his small car crate. Or, I have an airline bag type thing for him, which I would be happier with him riding in the car in. I can leave him in that if the harness doesn't show up in the next 30 minutes.
And, my niece will be 1 tomorrow, and we are supposed to have her birthday party. She has been kind of sick all week, but with no fever. Today of course, she has a fever. My mom had to run up there, an hour away, to take her to the doctor at 2. My mom also wants to wait until tomorrow morning to cook anything. Ummm... no. We're making; chicken, hot dogs, macaroni casserole, and baked ziti, oh, and chicken nuggets. The macaroni and ziti can be made tonight and reheated. She says she'll be up at 7. We probably need to leave between 10-11, because the party is at a place an hour away, we need to go in at 12 to set up, and we need to pick up sodas on the way. I'm not waiting till 7 AM to start cooking if the party is happening tonight. Secondly, I'm not letting my mom make some of the stuff. She is not making the ziti, and she is not making the macaroni. She is absolutely not making the macaroni. She does not believe me that it does not take milk. This is odd, because she can't even have milk. Anyway, other people make this item, it gets devoured. My mom makes it, she has 3/4 of the pan left over. She keeps saying you need the milk, because you need liquid. You get the liquid by not draining the corn. I have made it probably more than her, and when I make it, it gets scarfed up. I swear my mom can't taste what she cooks, or it's off (she had cancer a few years ago, maybe from that treatment). She does not believe, or I suspect more so, she pretends that things she makes actually taste good, when they truly are not good, and she ends up throwing out most of what she makes. Yeah, but I'll probably just tell her I feel like making them now so we don't feel really rushed in the morning, and have time to pick up anything if we might have forgotten it, and figure out how to pack it in the cars. Oh, and my friend is also awesome b/c I packed her car last night with stuff that needs to be brought up, but doesn't matter if it isn't there right away when we're setting up. How many friends would let you pack their trunks full of stuff, and would, despite being afraid of dogs (she's no longer terrified), come to your dog's class? She has even been the handler for one of the dogs in Luke's class before. Usually the daughter, who is in college handles that dog, but sometimes she has been away, so the mother just brings her. In that case, my friend handles the dog.
