I have been so bad.........

  I am definitely in a mood.  Completely exhausted everyday of the week and absolutely nothing comes to mind worth writing about.

For a brief moment I thought about blogging that wicked woman in the Red Blazer today that cut off not just the crossing guard but 2 kids that were crossing.  It really irritated me that she almost ran over 3 kids and looked as if it was their fault!  I mean really, in what land do cars have a right of way over vehicles in the crosswalk?  All I can think is she must have really great car insurance to go at those kids like that.

I also could have blogged in the last the few weeks about the frustration with my broken appliances.  When my stove blew up I bought a new to me stove, well that one didn't work either, so they said they would replace it, I am still waiting for that replacement.  Now the dryer has stopped tumbling and I have no spare tools to switch out the dryer (let's hope when I figure out the tool situation that I don't discover that dryer stopped working also).

Over the last few weeks I too could have blogged about the frustrations associated with raising a teenager.  How frustrating it is to wake up one day and no longer know the right things to say to your teen.  To look at a child you have adored for so many years only to discover they have become a stranger.  It's so hard to tell you the truth.  I know this is simply a right of passage for both my darling teen and myself, but I really think this is a right I could pass on.

Over the course of the last few weeks I could also vent my frustration and dislike at the upcoming holidays.  Of course I know that I want to pass on them because I am at a loss to provide for them.    With Thanksgiving only a week away, I am feeling pretty positive that we will not be able to do thanksgiving dinner.  I am slightly hopeful, but not too hopeful that a stove will magically appear.  It's already been so long I can't count that I have been patiently waiting.  Not to mention beginning next week I have the pleasure of enjoying my children's company for 6 days straight!  Lord help us all.

I also could have blogged about how worthless job hunting can make a person feel.  I know the economy is tight, but seriously, NOTHING in HOW long?  It is definitely hard to stay positive when the bills keep piling up AND Christmas is just around the corner.  I am so frustrated because throughout the year I remind the kids when they are acting up that Santa Claus is watching and he remembers.  Now come Christmas morning when there is nothing to open their little self-esteems are gonna shoot down the toilet.......or maybe they will look at it as a warning of future Christmases to come and be EXTRA good all next year.  Maybe not all is lost!

So anyway............that's about all I have been up to and all I can muster today.

Opening Day

All across these great cities,  women are celebrating a complete BREAK from their spouses/ significant others.

They are not mourning the temporary widowdom that Deer Hunting brings, guys get a clue, they are CELEBRATING a week of freedom and hoping beyond hope that you DO NOT get that big buck so you will leave AGAIN!

They are not sitting their crying for you (despite what they tell you on the phone) they are stretching out in bed, enjoying ALL the covers and the quiet night without you snoring.

They are exhilirated to not have to deal with a pair of your dirty underwear or socks for an entire week.

Women are not sitting home pouting, they are out with their girlfriends having the time of the life.

If only Opening Day could come once a month!
