I'm feeling weathered and I think my hairs on fire.

Yup. My hair is on fire.
I have had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week. Sunday afternoon things started to fall apart and it went downhill from there.
Sunday: Terrible dinner. I mean bad, tasteless and not enough of it. When I come away hungry and I ate everything on my plate it's bad. I also got lost and since I am directionally impaired and didn't get the help I needed quick enough I got mad.
Monday: I was home for 38 minutes between 8 a.m. and 6:15 p.m.. Enough said.
Tuesday: Tried to get to Lauren's room but was interrupted by kids, in-laws, work, in-laws, in-laws and I think I saw my husband in there somewhere around 9:30 p.m..
Wednesday: Lost my father-in-law. Well, I didn't lose him he lost himself. Thank goodness for a Good Samaritan that got him to pull over on Hwy 280 (he was going 15 mph) and lead him to where he needed to go. I called where he was supposed to be and had to go pick him up and then it was a driving circus running around with him on errands and getting him lunch. So, in the course of everything I lied (a necessary lie to keep FIL off road), stole (a key from his house - told MIL - so I could get to him if I need to), panicked twice and feel drained. And then I had to deal with the school district main office, a high school that my child doesn't attend and several people that told me, "...kids lie all the time about things like this...". WHAT?
Please spray me with seltzer water if you see me....

A flower by any name...

I love the color and the way the bloom by bursting open
suddenly. They don't smell but they are interesting!
I planted this the year we moved in but have forgotten the
name. I should go to a nursery to find out but since they
only bloom for about 2 months I forget until it's too late.
