// My kid forgot her lunch on Last week, I used it as a perfect opportunity for her to try new things. So I refused to run home and return with her lunch instead I told her to eat school lunch. (GASP)! She was PISSED but learned she likes frozen french toast.
// I 've read two books from start to finish recently. I picked up something I knew would be light and easy on my brain. No concentration required it was exactly what I needed to get back on the reading train. WhooWhoo.
// One of the karate instructors is a big bully and while most parents sit there and take it I refuse to be bullied. Besides the fact that I am 14 days away from being 39 years old I am the customer, I pay you to teach my kid karate and I expect you to treat me with the same respect you expect from me!
// I feel like the weekend isn't complete if the cops, fire trucks, and/or ambulance doesn't show up on my street to visit someone at least one of the days.
// Lauren sent out a Tweet to her southeastern friends about eating on Top Chef Charleston, I emailed them ASAP and I'm awaiting more information! Blog friends always give you the best inside info! We all know from previous confessions I wanted to get into a Top Chef Charleston event.
// I'm a procrastinator with big dreams, I need something to remind me daily if I don't chase my dreams I'll still be in the same place 10 years from now and while this is a great place to be in life I have bigger dreams. So who has a great Facebook, Twitter, or IG account for daily motivation?
// K wrote and illustrated a Mother's Day story about me at school, it's the best Mother's Day gift ever and it shows how well my kid really knows me. She even says I look best when I wear skulls, I LOVE that kid!
// Tyson knocked on the neighbors door yesterday to ask if he could have a cinder block from her yard. She called the police because there was a suspicious person in the neighborhood trying to get in her house. Now I want to go throat punch that racist bitch because SHE is part of a huge problem that should be an absolute non-problem.
Are you serious your neighbor called the cops on him?
ReplyDeleteI'm still angry about your neighbor. Every once in a while Ryan says something wistful about the prices down South or retiring down there one day and this is a big part of the reason I'm resistant to it. I'll deal with it when we visit but I DO NOT want to live somewhere where it's considered acceptable to say things like, "I'm ok with 'them' but everyone should marry their own kind" or "The neighborhood has really changed now that there's more of 'them' around." And I'm not a huge fan of being called a Yankee, either. Seriously? That was over a hundred years ago - let's move on.
ReplyDeleteOn a less negative note: K's book sounds awesome! I'd love to see how she drew you. Kid drawings are hilarious, and sometimes surprisingly insightful (like when they do height by importance to them instead of by actual height).
I would not be able to handle that bully karate instructor.. Or that racist neighbor, ugh! Send that bully instructor over to the asshole neighbor, she deserves it! Love that K made you a book, how sweet!
ReplyDeleteUggg the neighbor, just no! Does she not know how to yell through the door and ask what he needed or just ignore him and let him leave? (Both tactics I have employed to boy scouts and little old ladies alike, regardless of anything else, because Jehovah's Witnesses come in all kinds and I don't have time for that :)) So excited about Top Chef and you have to let me know if you hear anything!
ReplyDeleteYour neighbor is a fucking asshole.
ReplyDeleteErica did an acrostic about me. Half of them related to books. She definitely knows me.
WTF with your neighbor??? Also like know your surroundings stupid bitch. I hate most of my neighbors but I could tell you they were my neighbors if I saw them walking around. Not a suspicious person. Sheesh. The top chef thing sounds so fun!!!!! And umm if you find motivation to follow your dreams, share it. I need some of that too!
ReplyDeleteWait. What?! Are you kidding me about that neighbor? Did the cops come? Did they set her straight? WTF?!?!
ReplyDeleteI love that kind of Mother's Day "gift". My stepson made me a card. It was my first from him, and I got all teary.
So many things to respond to: my boy would love the school lunch. He keeps asking us to let him but he doesn't even have enough time to eat let alone stand in the lunch line. Glad she liked the French toast! Good for you standing up to the karate instructor. Of course he needs to show you respect as the customer! If you get to go to the Top Chef event, I'll be so jealous! I love that show! Cute that K knows you love to wear skulls! And ewww about that neighbor. Soooo part of the problem.
