VENT TIME!

I have had the roughest week!! Our camping trip went well minus a bad storm and almost all the girls in tears. We did get to go over and taunt the Boy Scouts. It was like the Lord of the Flies over there! No shirts toting sticks and acting crazy......yup, Boy Scouts for you!
I got my car back on Monday. First thing that we got to do is take Elizabeth to the doctor. We waited for TWO HOURS. Then we found out Lizzie is having surgery in June. They are removing her andenoids, tonsils and putting tubes in her ears. Yeay for Lizzie! She will also have to be allergy tested which consists of multiple pricks on her back.
Ice skating went well. Michael and Emily passed the first two classes of theirs. I spoke with the guy in charge of the hockey program. He said that Michael is ready for the Tot hockey program. I will put him in the next session after this one.
On the way home, I thought my alignment was off. I was actually getting pissed! Then I had to brake semihard and realized, I HAD A FLAT! I drove it home, called to have my tired changed and brought it in on Tuesday, the next day. (to hell with driving around all Ghetto on the dounut!) We were there for four hours! I was ready to kill Emma afterwards! We even walked across the parking lot to Taco Bell to eat. After it all, it cost $660 for all new tires and new brakes.
Then, Girl Scouts......I had enough time to come and feed my kids lunch, go pick the girls up and go to G.S. Then, I forgot something and had to run all the way home! I then had to deal with the most pain in the ass parent EVER. She was the co leader last year, running the Brownies. She was supposed to get me a copy of her dd's try its over the weekend. That way, I could go, get them, and have her reemburse me. Not my idea but I agreed. She gets me the list on Tuesday and was a total BITCH about the whole thing. I offered to go get them the next day, even after all I had gone through plus just took the girls camping. She was like ok, so when and where would I get them from you. Then goes on about organizational problems. She doesn't even live in our service branch. Not going to go there.
I left early and went to go get three hours of training. I then went to pick up my kids at the ball field where my dh was watching them/playing softball. They were all by themselves on the playground. Then, he didn't get back until at least 12am. Jack ass sat there and drank beer after their last game.
During all of this, I have my monthly pain in my butt. The house is trashed and we have people coming over tomorrow. OOh, I also found out that my grandma is coming in June, the same week as my courtdate. Yeah, babysitters! Nah, it isn't like that. I can't wait to see her! I have to call up my HOA to ask permission for her camper to be parked in my driveway for 5 days..... ~sigh~

Oh, it is so on!

Yes, it has been a while blog, my friend. I have a good vent to post and it will be long.

I was in a wreck Easter afternoon. Great time that was. It was a case of road rage. No, I didn't intentionally piss this guy off. (have done it in the past though) Our neighborhood is at the end of a residential road that leads up to the main road. There are 4 or 5 neighborhood roads that pour onto this road as well. Anyway, my sister and her family were in town for Easter so we were headed downtown Charleston to hit the marketplace. We turn onto this road, me myself MINDING my speed because my bil has a Kia and it is slow. We had already had some itchy asses over the Easter bunny coming first thing in the morning and her 1 yr old did a small hunt on her own. I really can't hide the Easter bunny much longer from my older two so it was a hard subject to get by. Anyway......

We get on the road going up the the highway type road and I notice a truck pulled out inbetween us and by sister. I slowed making sure I went the speed limit. I didn't want to rub them the wrong way with going too fast. Well, the asshole in the truck didn't like me going the speedlimit. He got right up on my butt, glued to it the whole time. Mind you it is THIRTY and it is a residential road. Oh, and I later found out he cut my bil off getting on the road.
We get up to the end of the road where there is a church and it drops down to 15. I tried to but this buttmuncher would not let me. Right after the church is harsh railroad tracks and a stop light. I have to brake and go slow over this thing or my car gets all messed up. There is even a sign nexted to the tracks stating that your trailer can get stuck on it. The hump is big.
I turn left and get into the right lane, the slow lane, thinking this guy would go around me and would squash the situation and my bil can get right behind me. Mind you they don't know their way around here. Well, this guy gets right up my butt again. I let off the gas and slow the car down. He is still behind me. Then I slowly brake the the car down to about 20. He swerves around me and slams on his brakes. I hit him. Lord, it was on then! My husband was fine until this guy jumps out of his truck screaming and yelling, saying I cut him off, I tried to get him to hit me on the tracks, etc. My dh went balistic. He jumped out and started yelling at this guy, fixin' to box. My sister jumps out of her car and gets inbetween Mike and this white trash piece of crap. Then my bil gets out of his car, end of story. My brother in law is big. He is 6'5" or something and weighs like 275. That squashed that one!
The police came and took statements. SC is a no fault state so I had the choices of working it out with hill billy buttfucker or getting a citation and taking him to court. I decided to get a $250 citation and take him to court. I was right and he was wrong. What would this teach my kids if some guy who is almost 10 years my senior acts like someone 10 years my junior and gets away with it? The cop I think honestly thought I was at fault at first until he saw I was willing to take one for the team to get this guy in trouble. That and all the damage was condusive to what I was saying. It was the principal of it! Look, I don't drive the best and am not the nicest person on the road, but this time I was trying to squash it and not piss this guy off!
Anyway, his damage was minimal, a dinge in his bumper and I guess a scratch on his fender. Well, mine was a lot more. Hello! 2005 dodge minivan against an F150. Please! I take it in today to get an estimate and schedule to get it in. I am not going to be the lesser of the two and drive around in a Ghetto car. I also live in the NICE neighborhood where as he live in the ghetto side, in the less expensive older homes. Maybe I am a snooty bitch. I guess you kind of get pissed off when someone crashes into you, with HIS family in his car and mine in mine. Yes, he had his wife, I am assuming that was what she was and a daughter in tow. He might have had more in the car but I was so upset....It is all good. When court comes, s/he will see that I am not lying and that this guy is full of beans!

I am going to kill them....

My kids are going to die during Spring Break! I was in the kitchen cleaning up, had the surround blaring music and getting dinner done. I went in because I heard a commotion in the livingroom. I find my candle broken and wax all over the floor. No one bothered to tell me! The FROG is trashed and no one wants to clean it up. The laundry is a bit backed up and things are just a little unorganized. This Spring Break will either make or break them/me. I am starting up my three ring binder and getting everything back in order.

Another thing going on is our finances. We burned away our savings when our visitor was here. I will have to rebuild it up this summer. I am going to whoop some ass and ask questions later on this one. If Mike doesn't like it, he can go live somewhere else. It was his idea so he will have to pay the price. Now we aren't behind on anything, we just have nothing to back us up if anything happens. ~knock on wood~ We are going to have to take out a small loan to get ourselves a fence. We would have had to do it anyway, even if we didn't use our savings. I plan on taking enough out to get some patio furniture, a cheapy above ground pool, and a new bedding set for our room. We will only be here for another two years so one of those Walmart specials, the $300 model will do it for the pool. There is a swing at Lowe's I have my eye on. Pottery Barn has the best quilt I want! Now I just have to find a fencing company to get a nice privacy fence up.

My weight is slowly but surely coming down. I am down to an 18 now. Woo Hoo! I was a 20/22 before I got into this. I can get into one of my 16/18 pants zipped but it is a tight fit. I could sit in it but my pants went up on my legs! LOL> I want to get on the treadmill everyday or use my PS2 game everyday this week. We will see how it goes!

My sister comes into town on Thursday. Woo Hoo! I am so tickled! I get to play with my niece who will turn one while they are here. What is neat is we went up there for Easter last year and she was almost ready to have Hailey. Now they will come down and we will have her first birthday together. I haven't got her a gift yet. I figured we could go out and pick it out together. Shoot, we have no Easter stuff either. When Angie gets here, we will have to cure that one! Can't WAIT!!!!!!!!!
