Grab Bag

* First thing, the answer to the puzzle is..............Yes it is my windshield, with a chunk of glass taken out.
On Wednesday, Ashton was told to get in the van and in your seat! NO! He freaking hangs on the rear view mirror!! It took a piece of glass with it. So now there is a chunk taken out from the inside. It isn't a complete hole, but it is paper thin!!! IRRITATING!! So now not only is my van missing a mirror, I have broke both of the side mirrors backing out of the garage!, the driver side window doesn't go down, the horn doesn't work or the cruise control!! What can I say it is old, but it was cheap with less than 60,000 miles!! I am grateful to have something that runs!!

*The 2 1/2 yr old tantrums are beating me down!!! On Wednesday after soccer practice, we had to cross the street. I had to hold Nathan's hand plus carry a ton of stuff. He decides to have a break down in the middle of the street!! I'm thinking that the cars are not going to see us. You never now what they might be doing: texting, talking, in a sugar coma....yada yada..... SO I drag him by his arm. It totally looked like child abuse, but I got him across! Now rewind about 6 mins.......

Ashton had to go #2 and I had told him to hold it!! Yeah right! So he holds it for a few minutes. Then he comes to me again, "MOM!!! I can't hold it anymore" I'm like OH, S***!! So I take him behind the school... He says "But Mom, there isn't any T.P." He wouldn't go.
Then we cross the street.
Picture this. He is on his Big Wheel. HE freakin' high tails it down to the porta potty!! He was like going 30 mph! He doesn't let anyone get in is way! HE was on a MISSION! BIG TIME!

* Did you know that Saturday night is Ladies pickup night at W*lmart!! O yes. Seriously, this kills me, I am in my old jeans, sweatshirt, no makup....This guy totally was trying to pick me up. First of all, he could hardly speak English, At first, I thought he was going to grab my purse and I continued to be "aware" that he was there. I guess this "awareness" was a "sign" to him that I was interested in him. I was trying to pick out a watch for one of Syd's friends. I looking at them trying to decide and he keeps talking to me. I usually would be a total smart A and tell him. "to get lost and find another place other than WM to pick up Moms shopping for their FAMILY!" But when I am by myself, I am nice and try to stay cordial to freaks! I finally just said that I was "shopping for my family" and gave him the "get away" look. He did leave. I was pretty freaked out and shaking!!
I said something to the jewelry clerk! Just in case!!
But then I see the guy across the isle as I was in the girls dept. At this point I'm thinking that he is following me. Then I lost him in the grocery isles!

I was freaked out the entire time I was in there. By the time I was finished, it was dark. So then I had to put my groceries in the van in the dark! I was sooo jumpy, a guy was walking to his car and I screamed at him. HE was totally FREAKED out!! Then I had to apologize to him and I told him what happened in WM. He said, "I wish my wife was that aware"

Seriously, I was soooo sick I almost puked in my van! I got home and was sooo sick! It took until the next morning to calm down!!

In retrospect, I should have left immediately after he approached me!! SCARY!!

*At Rae and Syd's school they had a book fair. Neither Lonnie or I had any cash to send with the girls to buy a book. Lonnie told the girls they would have to use some of their "savings" Raegan asked him "why?" He said because we had to pay taxes!
Raegan then says: "I hate TAXES!!"

ME TOO!! It totally sucks being a self business owner! You get taxed a TON!!!
Liberals and their "great" ideas. I have to pay a ton of taxes and I can't afford groceries! It really, makes sense!
