Four for Friday – the Clusterf*ck edition

The last few weeks have been a complete clusterf*ck.  Let’s start with the one good thing:

1.  My dad has his surgery on Tuesday.  (which was originally scheduled for 4 days before that before it was cancelled 10 min before the surgery…clusterf*ck)  He has a valve and 2 arteries replaced and a whack of blockages repaired.  As of today he has been eating and a small amount of walking around.  It is a long road but at least a road that isn’t starting uphill.

2.  My phone completely died last week….and I still don’t have a replacement.  I have NO PHONE, no access to the usual emails, texts, BBMs etc.  This morning, the card reader in my work computer died…and I spent 2 hrs this morning trying to fix it only to be told I have to order a new card.  I can work remotely (which I have to for my job) but it is a royal pain.   Technology clusterf*ck.

3.  Our elderly cat has gone from getting up at 4:45 daily to…earlier than that.  And not going back to sleep.  And not letting us sleep either.  This week we have had ~ 4 hrs or less of sleep per night.  Fun.Times.  Tired clusterf*ck.

4.  On top of no sleep, surgery, technology fails, commuting to work/hospitals and crazy times at work, the hubs and I took care of his 2 nephews for a few days.  That wasn’t a clusterf*ck as they are great kids but it just proves to me that I would suck at being a parent.  Don’t get me wrong…we had a good time and they are pretty well behaved, I am just not ‘there’.  I can only say:  “Did you wash your hands WITH SOAP!”   or have someone ask me:  “Who are you talking to/about/with” without losing it.

Mama needs a cocktail that’s for sure.  But not before my race on Sunday…which I cannot wait to run.  See ya later Clusterf*ck weeks.  I am over you.

What’s your latest technology fail?  Are you a kid person?

I am a kid person - I hope since I'm a teacher but man do I need my kidless time. Summer!
I have broken a camera and a shredder this week.

I am a kid person...most of the time ;-)

Tech fail...a dvd got jammed in the car's built-in player. It was a library dvd and usually those kinds of jammings are expensive to fix. It was out of commission for 4 days and then miraculously started working again!

I've been lucky with technology lately - which means a bad streak sometime soon I'm sure!

Good luck with your race!

Sounds like quite the week for you! Hope the next one is better. Hope you had a great race though.
