So, a few things happened yesterday.
Number One, Respite Girl shall no longer be coming to my house. I told
the CCAC Case Manager everything that's been going on and she called the
agency and told them that I want my weekday hours and I do not want that
worker coming back to the house. The two of them actually went over
the staff together and it's true, she has no workers for that time. So
now instead of having a worker come on Sunday for 6 hours I'm going to have
a worker come for 6 hours on Saturday. Which is fine with me. As
long as she comes for 6 hours.
The case manager is coming here today to meet with us and go over the paper
work and stuff.
Another thing that happened, Hubby slipped on ice and fell off of the top of his truck. His back is killing him right now. He figures he fell about 12 feet. Ouch!
And I did something that could scar my 12 year old son for life. I
finally got around to using the dye he got for Christmas on his head.
The color of the dye is called Red Passion, so who would have known it would
turn his hair pink? Yup, you read that right. His hair is
pink.
So this morning I had to get out his sisters can of mousse that colors hair
red and hopefully that will make it darker and less sissified-girly-like.
I've got the stuff on his hair right now, but I'm not counting on it.
I know that with my luck my 12 year old son will be heading off to school
with glow in the dark (because this product actually glows under a black
light) fuchsia pink hair.
30 minutes later...
I've rinsed off his hair now, it still has elements of pink in it but on
the whole it's darker. Not much but it is better. Hubby swears
that it's livable, but I don't trust my husbands color sense. He says
that brown and maroon are the same color when we all know that clearly they
are not. I'm going to be all worried for him all day long.

LB is home from school because at 6:00am the weather man was calling for
80km/h winds and flash freezing. So I decided that I didn't want LB to be
on the road in that weather.
Yesterday we started out with snow falling at a pretty good rate, by about
9:00am it had turned into freezing rain and ice pellets. By the after noon
it was just rain, but when it hit the ground it was freezing.
Last night we had a thunder storm (yes there was even lightning as the new guy
on TV was so excited to point out, lightning in February. It doesn't
happen that often around these parts) and the rain was coming down fast and
hard. The temperature got very mild, I think they said almost to 10
degrees.
This morning when I got up the temperature was 4 degrees, and within half an
hour it was already past the freezing mark. There was a lot of standing
water on the roads, and they were saying that with this wind and the rapid
temperature drop there would be lots of flash freezing on the roads. They
were calling for it to be really bad on the route that LB takes to school.
So I cancelled his bus for the day. He is staying home where it's safe and
warm.
Paranoid Mom here!
So I have to tidy up and get some stuff done before the case manager comes today. I'm hoping that she can tell me that she managed to get me a couple of hours during the week. That would just be so sweet. Yup, it really would.
I think I'm out of stuff to write now. So I shall sign off and get my crap together and do what needs to be done. Plus, I'm making chili tonight for dinner. I'm doing this because I've been having a craving for cheddar chili dogs and I've still got to make a lemon meringue pie that I've been craving as well. Mmm, now I'm hungry on top of everything else. sigh
