A long busy week ending with Father’s Day

I had Physical therapy on my shoulder twice this week. He thinks I had a partially torn rotator cuff and bone spur. I have to continue the Physical therapy twice a week for the rest of the month then get a follow up appointment with the doctor I saw and get an MRI done. I made 3 new recipes this week. The Best Potato salad and Butterscotch fudge were okay but the Lemonade Rice Krispie Treats were awful. Tuesday was my daughters last day of school. She finished 9th grade ranked #1 of 53 kids with a GPA of 99.7. After school we ate lunch at IHOP. My son got the jr churro pancake kids menu meal and loved it. My daughter wasn’t happy with what she got though which was a half stack of New York Cheesecake Pancakes. We did a little browsing around some shops. We found 2 fairy doors and visited 4 Little Free Libraries. Completing our day out we went to the discount cinema which was offering free admission and saw Shazam. On the way home we stopped for ice cream. Wednesday my friends dog needed to go to the vet so they were down to one vehicle. I picked her and her kids up and took them to the park with us where I had a get together celebrating summer vacation. My van started acting up on my way to pick her up. It smelled bad and was chugging and the Drive light was flashing. Thankfully when I started it back up it drove fine on the way home. Since that day it’s done it intermittently and my boyfriend said it indicates the transmission has a major issue. When I got home from the park I saw at my parents house across the street their car was being put up on a tow truck. Bad luck on this hill I guess. Friday my daughter went out and finished he fairy door trail by finding the last 3. We got to meet on of he fairy door owners who helped give us a hint where one was hidden since we had a hard time finding it before. At the very last fairy door was an art gallery we got to look around. I looked at a few car dealerships with no luck. We did a little shopping while out. On the way home I picked my boyfriends son up who spent the night while his dad was with friends were in upstate Ny fishing. Saturday I drove my boyfriends son home at 5:30 am and then my kids and I spent about 2 hours setting the yard sale out. The kids made $62.45 and $20 of that was just a donation from their grandfather. It was a very gusty day. I had the dog on my lap and my tablet. The wind grabbed the tent and I grabbed the tent leg nearest me to hold it. No one else grabbed a leg when I yelled at them to so when the tent blew over backwards it knocked the dog and I in the chair over. The kids found that hilarious. Today I went to my boyfriends house and gave him the gifts you see in the photo. I was waiting on a text from my mom to tell me when she left the pizza place so I would know it was time to head home. Her estimate was 4 or 5 or later. Well she didn’t message me until after 5 and told me the pizza was there and they had already attacked it but would keep some warm for us. I was furious. Then she said there was 2 pizzas left. By the time we got there there was only 1 left and she hid upstairs the whole time acting like an immature teenager.

WOW! So many productive days =) I can hardly remember what I did a few days ago hehe. Your daughter is doing wonderful in school =) Cheers to Sophomore year to her! Bummer her pancakes didn't taste good.. I would probably order NY cheesecake (as an actual dessert) than pancakes. I'd question how that'd be prepared, I would probably agree with her how it wasn't that great lol! That's a beautiful painting , did you make it ? It's beautiful regardless =) I love pizza & bummer there was just one slice left -_-

@infatuatedbby oh I could never remember what I did a few days ago either but I always just down notes while I am out and am always taking pictures. Usually so much goes on as the days pass that I wind up just deleting the notes and not posting anything as I feel too much time goes by I might as well not write about it anymore. The last time she had those pancakes at I-hop they had a delicious custard filling between the layers. That was what she was expecting but this time they didn't have that and they said it was only a promotional thing the last time we were there. We didn't know it until her plate came out and there was no filling between the layers. Nope I bought the painting at an art festival I attended last week with a friend of mine. They bought 4 round pizzas from little ceasars for everyone but when we got there only 1 was left. I find it so ignorant that they eat without waiting for everyone to get there.

@infatuatedbby I did ask the waitress who also called someone over who worked there longer and he told us it was seasonal. I am sure they could tell we were disappointed but they didn't offer to get her something else and I don't like making a fuss. I do feel bad she didn't like her meal since we so rarely go out to eat. I am glad you noticed the girl saying it was burnt so you knew to check yours. I hate burnt food. That's great they gave you credit like that. Maybe it was a new cook or trouble with the ovens. The painting was only $10. I figured my daughter could paint one just as well but being so cheap I just grabbed it and felt good about helping out the artist. They had lots of paintings and were so much lower priced then everyone else's at the festival. Yes it was hand painted not a print.

@shaggin Oh I see. I would expect custard or something to make it like cheesecake. I would have maybe mentioned it to the servers and let them know, she wasn't satisfied especially since before it tasted good & that's why she ordered it again. Could she get something else & they can take that plate back... Speaking of.. for once, I actually spoke up @ Pizza Hut. A few days ago, I ordered pizza & breadsticks. I arrived 5 minutes early, paid and then waited. While waiting the lady was saying these pizzas are burnt! I looked & they weren't mind.... 10 minutes pass by, mine comes out of the oven & I saw from afar it was burnt! I let the guy pack my pizza & then he handed it off to the girl who was yelling burnt... I opened it up & mine was burnt too! I texted my fiance & said it's burnt, he told me no. Sometimes I let it go, but this was more than burnt. She apologized and asked if I wanted to wait another 20 minutes or she can give me store credit back. I told her, I'll just salvage the pizza & eat it and take store credit cause it was late/we were hungry. I see, that's a beautiful painting & it's hand painted I think right it has a signature in the bottom corner. Yea =( Especially since you were waiting for the text!

How many pizzas did you buy? You do need a new- newer van. I am sorry but you made me smile about the kids laughing because the tent picked you up and tossed you backward.

@andriaperry my parents bought the pizza it was four round ones from Little Cesar's. I made potato salad. I saw a nice vehicle on Craigslist I have to call about today and go check out while I am taking my son to the movies tomorrow. Glad I made you laugh. My nephew who is 6 was bored sitting and waiting for customers to come. My son played football with him for about an hour then got tired and bored and just wanted to sit. My nephew never runs out of energy. After the tent blew over my nephew said he hoped it happened again because it was fun.

@shaggin I hope the vehicle on Craigslist turns into something for you. I know what it is like to have vehicle problems.

I love the painting! For some reason, I am attracted to elephants. They are such smart creatures and they are also compassionate for each other and often even to humans. I have not been to IHOP in ages! The ones around here are always so crowded. I hate that your van is messing up. I hope that you can find something else. Sometimes families can be such drama instigators.

@Shellyann36 I haven't been to on in 3 years or so. My boyfriends favorite animal is elephants so I always keep my eye out for anything with that theme. Tomorrow I am taking my son to the YMCA. Afterwards we are looking at cars in the area. My son and I stopped at a used car delaership after his appointment with the therapist but the cars were all really old and had such high miles.

Wonderful gifts. That was not fair to leave you with no pizza. Hope you have a good night.

@RasmaSandra we did get pizza but they ate 3 boxes before we got there. Even when they said there was 2 boxes left they continued to eat and so we got there and only one box was left. I find it so ignorant they think they are hungrier then we are and should eat before we arrive that way. Especially since it was their fault we weren't there because they didn't tell me what time to arrive.
