ITS RANDOM...

randomtuesday





It's that time again folks. Random Tuesday Thoughts. If you feel like dishing a Random Rant, link up with the Un-Mom and have a go at it. It feels good ;)

I was making dinner for Ben. Decided on making some good ole Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. (the cheesiest) You know how there's that little half circle spot on the side of the top of the box that says 'PUSH HERE TO OPEN' ??? Well, how come it doesn't work? There are no perforations. If they are there, they are too small to be considered a perforation. (am i spelling that right?- who cares..) You know it wont work even as you are trying to do it. Jabbing your thumb nail into the place that should be perforated. Only to push awkwardly to push and poke at the box to no avail. I always think that THIS is the time it will work. It never is. Then you stab at it with the end of the nearest utensil. This has a 95% failure rate. Then it's on to either ripping the top of the box off. (this usually is kinda hard to do because the top is super glued together and has to be shredded off piece by unwilling piece). For the brave souls, a knife is an option. The question is.... Do you knife the top of the box or the half circle?? I lean towards the half circle. That damned half circle....

My kid will not go to bed. Gaaahhhh. Seriously.

I haven't taken the Christmas tree down yet. Whoa, don't get your panties in a bunch. It's not a real tree. It's a little 4 footer faux pine. It's pretty. I find it very relaxing to look at before bed. Is it so wrong to celebrate the birth of Jesus every day???? Yeah, so It will come down before February. It's not like anyone else lives here. Except for my kiddo. He likes it too. He has no idea that everyone else already took theirs down 2 weeks ago...LOL

The side mirrors on my car fell off. Like, I shut the door one day and the drivers side mirror fell out of the thingee that sticks out of the side of the car and holds it (wtf?) and shattered to the ground. A couple of weeks later the other side went when my aunt (who obviously thinks all car doors should be slammed hard enough to make you jump- hope she never catches a body part in there!) slammed the passenger side door. So I really can't see behind me. Is this illegal? Should be. Feels dangerous.

Bought new pets today. Krimmet and Grimmet. Quarter sized African Dwarf Frogs. They were 2.99 a piece. Lets see if I can keep these things alive. If not, they are cheap and all look alike so Ben will never know I replaced them. So, now I have a son, 2 guinea pigs, 1 betta fish, 2 African Dwarf Frogs.... (and a Partridge in a Pear treeeeeeeee).

The End.

Yesterday at 4:55pm

Rachel - good for you :)
Yesterday at 7:07pm ·

Melissa - :) michelle you would be surprised how many people do that.. Since they have to pay for the full week anyways..
Yesterday at 7:27pm

Rachel - yup. there were a couple days i didn't take him and the rest he went in at lunchtime and i picked him up after naptime. plus, he doesn't do well when i pull him out and then take him back. he likes consistancy.. by the time he gets used to being home, it's time to go back to daycare and then he takes a week to get used to it all over again. also, he likes playing with his friends :)

Michelle - I had to pay for full weeks but I still kept my kids out of day care if I was not working. I maybe took them one day for a "MOMMY" day, but that is it. I always had my kids in different activities throughout the week like cleaning house, making cookies, coloring, tv, mall walking, etc. They didn't miss daycare.

Rachel - We do all of that. I am a good mom raising a happy child. I don't have to explain my choices. This is what works for us.

This is my cousin Michelle. Belittling me in her sneaky, word twisting way as usual. To top it off, only one family member came to my defense.. (sort of, without making precious crazy ass Michelle mad... cuz we all know what happens when she's mad, she will lie and do stuff behind your back to make others mad at you too) that would be Melissa. Michelle is angry because I will not let her babysit my son. Nope, sorry. Never gonna happen. Why you may ask?? Let me count the reasons...

1. she is a heavy smoker. i quit smoking so that my child wouldn't be around it.
2. i can't trust her. major issues.
3. my stepsister lets her watch her boys and i have heard stories. such as
A. michelle inside while my stepsisters kids and michelles kids played mere feet from a 4 lane road. my stepsisters kids were 2 and 4.
B. her youngest 2 kids have been sexually abused. they are highly sexualized now and michelle even admits that when my stepsisters boys spend the night, they must sleep separately from her girls. (not to mention that she is constantly talking (yes, her kids hear her) about men, sex and her use of "bedroom toys". i'm sure that's healthy.. *rolling eyes*
C. my 7 year old nephew came home and told his mom that he had almost drowned in the pool. Michelle wasn't watching. She puts her older children in charge.
4. she asks people why i am mad at them, when i'm not, just to watch the waves it creates.
5. she is a sick person. pitiful. just plain sad.

These are just the tip of the iceberg.

I should receive a parent of the year prize just because she thinks I parent badly. I do the opposite of what she does. GO ME!!!!
