best laid plans

If you had talked to me on Friday you would have thought I was a bit crazy. What with all of the plans that were out there. The daughter-out-of-law was going to be in town, and she would have both of the grandsons, and maybe the eldest would want to mow the lawn and maybe they would spend the day
.
and then of course there was the “friend“ with her new relationship who would stop over while they were between houses/towns, and finish off mowing the lawn. And then there was the sister and nephew, in town for an event we would not make it to, because of the health issues, but they would for sure stop.

Well here it is, the end of the weekend. The lawn has not been touched, and we got about an hour with the grandsons and their other grandparents, and about 30 minutes with the sister and nephew.

but the house is picked up, and dinner is about to be reheated (leftovers). I just finished watching most of Enchanted, had a good tear-up over the idea of happily ever after, and am about to watch twister.

I am going to have to take some charge of the rest of my life….very soon. And this weekend should teach me not to count on others. Something I thought I had learned long ago, but ”fool me twice, shame on me“. And of course everyone has perfectly reasonable excuses (or will given time)….beggars cant be choosers. Damn. I did learn this lesson once before.
