Things are going to be quiet here for a few days as my blogging time is going to be spent on setting up two other blogs. I’ll announce them both, once they’re ready to go – But as there’s only 24 hours in a day, I need to concentrate on those. Once they’re all set up, I’ll be back here as normal.

A few random things from today…
This morning I said to Joseph, “You know money doesn’t grow on trees around here!”
I am now officially my mother.

A couple people need me to tell them a few things.
First YOU! The Honker! I came THISCLOSE to getting out of my car and “talking” to you – but decided to provide a good example to my children. Let me explain… I’m sorry that the people in front of me got out of their car faster, and therefore left sooner than me. I’m sorry my children took a minute to be able to get out of the car. They were trying! But you HONKING… not just a short toot, but full on, honk honk honk hooooooonk… Come ON!My children were half out when the others in front of me left. Wnat did you want me to do? “Hang on boys, we’re going for a Ride!” I don’t think so. That’s unsafe. I know you’re late. ‘Cause guess what. I was late too. My own fault (well, no, it was the electricity dude’s but that’s another story.) And you don’t see me complaining. By the way… The honking in impatience while a 5 year old navigates his way out of a vehicle? GREAT example to your own children. Truly. And the bottom line is, you jackass, I didn’t do anything wrong. I was in front of the “Don’t drop off before this point” sign. I was going to wait and pull up. But then I noticed the car in front of me had just gotten there, and were getting out too. I didn’t do anything WRONG! It was the equivalent of dumbasses who honk in a stopped traffic jam. Where is anyone supposed to go? Only this time, with children! And for your information, you idiot, you scared my kids. And THAT’s why I almost busted your ass. Oh, and the carline volunteer calmed them by telling them you were doing the wrong thing, and that they were fine, and mommy didn’t do anything wrong. I wish I knew who it was. I might sneak an announcement in the school newspaper, since, you know, I write it.
***
And you liar! Who in their right mind bald-faced lies at work? I don’t mean white lies, or crafty manipulation to get your sorry behind out of trouble… I mean flat out lies. So bald that the others stuck working in this little twilight zonish orbit you’re in actually think that they’re crazy. Until someone says to you, “They’re lying.” And the light bulb goes on. Oh! That’s why nothing was making sense. Because it didn’t dawn on you that someone would be that much of an idiot.
***
And what makes you think it’s okay to bust into a common cabinet and leave a mess for everyone else to clean up? I understand having to make refreshments for a meeting… But do you have to leave everything strewn across the counter? And actual trash in the sink? Leaving it for someone else (namely me) to clean up? Gee, just like home.
And dude, what was with the salt anyway? Who puts salt in their coffee?

OK, I think I’m done now. There were a few other incidents as well. It’s been a really really long day.
The Others
I’m trying to put myself on a blogging schedule. So that I’m pretty much constantly writing even if I don’t particularly want to… Mainly so I don’t get rusty. So, I have written down something to do each day. That way I’ll be creating something. Then I’ll just be adding more when something happens that I want to impart or that catches my eye. Nothing wrong with that.
Anywho – I’m going to be highlighting other bloggers on Thursdays. Not reviewing. Just sharing. These will be bloggers that I personally read. They may be particularly famous or not at all. You just never know.
My first bloggy highlight is Julie at A Little Pregnant.
If you were to categorize her, she both an infertile blogger and a mommyblogger.
She’s snarky, fun, serious, and knowledgeable. In enjoy reading her, even when it’s terribly sad, such as the difficult birth of her son, or the recent passing of her dad. I suggest reading her. I HIGHLY suggest reading her if you’re suffering infertility of any sort, secondary, etc.
Ouch
The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken. ~Samuel Johnson
Wow. There are so many applications of this quote in my life.
Geez.
Past drug use.
Past men.
Currently smoking. So so so true. I mean really, what else is there to be said about it? Everyone knows the dangers of smoking. Everyone knows the dangers of addiction.
And no one thinks it’ll happen to them.
Guilty, thanks.
A lesson, from me to you
This lesson is for the drivers I encountered this morning.
If you need to park, and there are approximately 40,000 empty parking spaces nearby (especially since there’s no one there but you and I,) please do not choose the spot next to me, where I am quite obviously unloading two children, two backpacks, and one lunchbox. It’s creepy, and dangerous. You had 40,000 other options to choose from.
The law of merging: when a freeway goes from 2 lanes to 1 lane, you merge one and one, one and one, left then right, left then right. See?! Everyone gets a turn! When you decide you’re going to take my turn? You know, to get that ONE CARLENGTH ahead of us… This makes me angry. And trust me, I’m going to do everything in my power to not let you in, should you need to get in my lane later down the freeway. And I’ll enjoy it.
Ok, now YOU… You know who you are. You’re just an f’ing idiot. When you’re on a busy street, busy anyway, but now filled with commuting traffic… You do not STOP and DRIVE IN REVERSE, because you missed that particular driveway. YOU ARE AN IMBECILE!! Then you go and block THREE lanes of busy traffic to do a sort of reverse three-point maneuver to get into that driveway. All three lanes of completely stopped traffic thank you.
Thank you. Carry on.
