I'm not 100% sure where the term "shit ball" came from, but I think it was from Dad. It really sums it up well, too. Being gone to conventions is stressful, but being at work while OTHERS are gone to convention? That's much worse. I am filling in for 3 people, plus doing my own work. I'm a crabby patty. OK?
The girls had a rough day, too. Natalie missed bringing home another assignment. She had to stay after school because of it. A Honor Roll or not, the stakes just got higher. No electronics when this happens. Homework, reading, or bed. Those are the choices. She has a book report due on Wednesday, and it's done tonight, so something positive came from it...I guess.
They've both been warned, so we'll see if it improves.
Dad came over for water tonight. They have a well, and the water is too "hard" for the coffee pot. Seriously, hard water kills coffee pots quicker than anything. Anyway, because of that, they come over once a week or so to fill up on "coffee water." Dad showed up still dressed from a funeral that they attended.
The first thing that Monica said was, "Look, Grandpa has on fancy shoes!" I said, "No, honey, those are funeral shoes." We all got a good laugh at that, especially when Dad laughed and said I was right.
Poor Kevin. He's had to offer out hugs and love while we all gripe about our day. We've got go get some testosterone in this house. The only other males are Simba the cat, and Hawkeye the dog, and their testosterone source has been cut off...literally.
OK, tomorrow is another day. I got WAY more votes on my poll than I expected. Either some of you voted more than once, or I have readers that I don't know about. One person commented that led me to add a new journal to my bookmarks! I love new journals. If someone posts less often than once a week, I may not keep them on bookmarks forever, but it's great to check out a new one.
OK, on with the night, which will end with an early bedtime. *sigh* For now, though, life is good. Home is safe and warm and loving. Ahhh, home.

You did not mention traffic. Maybe it was light today? A postitve for having to work a holiday perhaps.
Not being at a convention sucks, even though I am not entirely sure what you do there. LOL

I used to forget to bring home assignments too. Looking back -- I was very (and still am) very ADD. Wow. That was a shit-ball comment. Sorry.
