[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 301841, member: 7083"] Well, the day didn't get much better. :angry: easy child's girlfriend and I went to my mom's to get our hair done. I was waaaaaaay overdo for a color and girlfriend needed a trim. So we get that done, I got a trim and my mom did my hair for me - something that is never done and I don't have the strength in my arms to do anything more than pull it up in barrettes. So, she did my hair with hot rollers and it looks sooooo pretty. My mom is 45 minutes away and we had to pick up difficult child from school, so we leave with plenty of time. It was nowhere near rush hour, but we got stuck in traffic and were 10 minutes late getting to the school. :angry: It didn't help that I was behind someone all the time that didn't know how to keep their car at a constant speed. :angry: Pick up difficult child and she asks, "What did you do to your hair???" "Nana did it with hot rollers. You like it?" "No." Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... School open house was tonight and they have it set up where you follow your child's schedule and spend 10 minutes in each class. They even announced over the PA when the class is over and again when you should be in your next class. Come on. I'm not 14. But, anyway..... It was good because I got to clarify a lot of things with difficult child's teachers. She either takes things too literally or only hears part of what has been said and all I knew was that she was not allowed to bring textbooks home. (Not true.) And some other stuff. girlfriend went with us and easy child called her from his break at work to tell her he's having a horrible day, blah, blah, blah. So, that started something else. So, we leave there, stop at the pharmacy to pick up my medications and come home. easy child gets home shortly after and is in a really bad mood because of work. He hates his job, but he also has some maturity issues.
