DH just called from his band gig. Looks like they're stuck playing till 1:00am even though there are only 6 people left in the place. This woman who used to date the lead singer booked the gig without really check with any of the original band members who are all 50+ years old. They've all been there done that as far as playing late night gigs in bars. They prefer the private parties and street fest type gigs they've been doing the past few years, with the except of the statewide Blues Fest. Well, this woman didn't realize that and was so excited that they got this local gig and might get more that they could only tell her they'd do it this once but weren't interested in repeated the gig. SO anyway, DH just called to tell me he doesn't think they'll be ending early and that the lead singer just up and left. No one is really sure why. He seemed to be upset about something. He did just have his wisdom teeth out and was having an issue with an infection but they don't think that's what set him off. So they're all shrugging their shoulders and playing instrumental stuff now, because none of the rest of them can sing!
To top it all off tomorrow is the day we head to NY to visit SIL and kids at DH's parents house. I have since found out they didn't fly from Iowa to Chicago, they drove. Then they decided to drive on to NY so that they could spend some time looking at colleges in the East since nephew will be a senior next year and niece will be a junior. Now you'd think on the drive east there would have been a moment when SIL picked up her cell phone and called her brother to tell they were coming. Or that my in-laws who knew they were coming at least once they started driving might have given us some notice. Instead we had to rearrange our weekend plans to accomodate a visit. Nevermind the fact that today they drove from NY to Yale to Wellsley, driving within a half hour of us. There's more to this story than we know at the moment I think. MIL is annoyed with SIL that they showed up on the doorstep with little notice, then promptly took off again to look at schools. I think there is some poor communication going on coupled with two different agendas. MIL is thinking this is the usual summer visit before the kids go back to school and SIL needs to get her son looking at some schools while they have the chance to be out here. I expect it to be tense tomorrow but for a change it won't be my fault!
We need to be up early to get the puppy and his crate to my parents' house. They will be pet sitting while we go camping next weekend so they're doing a trial run tomorrow.
Man, wouldn't that have been interesting if they'd showed up the weekend we were going to be gone! Hmmm, there's something to ponder as I fall asleep.
