Talking Out My Yipper

I wanted to blog about my son's dumb preschool teacher & my teenagers psycho teachers but I am too distracted from the day I had yesterday: +++I was late taking the kids to school b/c I had to pump gas super slow into my 1988Grand Marquis. +++My Granny is in the hospital and I am in charge of emailing everyone this side of the Mississippi and got criticized for it...Bite me. +++Sometimes the people you think are your friends just aren't...someone I trusted threw me under the bus...Where does friendship end and business begin? +++I was late picking my son up from school...And when I apologized to the teacher, she mentioned charging me $5 for being late...then they tell me how the kids couldn't go outside to play b/c some drunk guy was passed out in the flowers. +++My stepdaughter threw my house key in my seat which fell down into it and out of site; so, for awhile Will & I were locked out. +++My son is still on "new-toy-overload" from his birthday party thi...

I realized yesterday that my 4 y.o. son has become quite the little smart-mouth. I pick him up from preschool, snack in tow like the good mommy that I am, and after being confronted in the parking lot by his teacher about how Will might fail kindergarten because he sucks at cutting with scissors yada yada (whatever), I pull away to the sweet sound of Will throwing his cup on the floorboard and saying, "I -said- I wanted orange juice!" Oh ok, so go thirsty then. We park in front of the camera store (so I can get my new fancy, hoity toity sLr camera lens looked at) and Will states, or more like DEMANDS his own new, fancy camera...this is coming from a 4 Y.O. WHO WAS GIVEN THE SAME CAMERA THAT HIS 32 Y.O. AUNT HAS "mindyou"!! What a freakin brat! Then as I'm trying to talk to the photo/camera GENEius (cuz its Gene's Camera Store...ha ha ha) Will starts begging for a gumball. Sorry, no quarter kid and even if I did, so help me... When I politely turn to leav...

I guess I expected more out of today...I expected Em to be totally broken and falling apart since today is the one year anniversary of her mom's death (that's my stepdaughter's mom). She did ask me if she really had to go to school and I didn't make her. I wanted to give Em some alone time at the house so, when I took Will to school I went to Panera with my computer. I said not to kill the cats or break the tv...other than that have at it: scream, kick, cuss... Before I came home I asked Em if she wanted anything and she said she was craving a McDonald's Coke...that I can deliver! So my computer took forever to shut down and there was a line in the bathroom and then there was traffic and then red lights and then the lane was ending so I sped to get in front (of course) of the line of traffic. While I take first place I see county has someone pulled over uphead but then I see lights flashing in my rear view mirror so I assume he's county's backup and I keep...

Why is it that every class I've ever been in, there is always at least one person in it who is completely annoying and thinks they know everything?! Seriously, these types of people must thrive on the attention or something. Why do they even take the class---they know everything already anyway! Why aren't they *teaching* instead?? Oh, that's right, because you DON'T know everything and you are totally obnoxious. Tonight I started my Spring Festivals class at church. I took the Fall Festivals class in the ---wait for it---FALL! lol anywho, Rick, the rabbi :) gave a brief history about the festivals and a backround/history lesson to start. So...we are moving right along. HOWEVER, this girl off to the side is twirling her pen that has beads hanging off of it the whole time, which is totally loud & distracting me (let alone Rick, I'm sure) and she keeps spouting off comments while Rick is teaching and like saying the answers before he even gets there. So, I thin...
