What a bad day.

Wednesday sucked. I have never been happier to see a day end. Started off bad and ended bad and stayed screwed up throughout the day. Everything happened from my husbands truck (the only vehicle we have until next week) breaking down and us having to spend 300 bucks on parts, to my 20 year old daughter getting pulled over, arrested, and having her car impounded, which is the car I gave to her which is why I don’t have a car. Those two events were just the beginning and the end of the day. You don’t even wanna know the in-betweens.

Because I totally have nothing to write about

I’m going to show you some of my favorite T-shirts over at Crack Smokin’ Shirts. Actually, these are the ones I’d buy for my blogging buddies if I had lotsa money. The names link to the blogs, and yes, the images are affiliate links… so what.

How to respond to spam

I know, I am REALLY late on this…. JJ alerted me to this post on The Churning on March 29.
If you’re a regular reader of The Churning, then you’ve already seen this. But in case you’re not, I’m giving you the link.

I love technology

and this is why:

Since I’m working the graveyard shift and sleeping during the day, I don’t see my daughter before she goes to school anymore. I get home anytime between 3 and 5 am and go to sleep before she gets up. But thanks to email, which she checks every morning before school, I can send her messages like this (which I just did, regarding our 7 pound fox terrier):

Dear Sara,

Why is Gonzo yellow, now?
Have a good day.

Love, Mom

I can’t wait for the reply!

On another note, check out my puke story and others over at The Churning.

UPDATE:

Dear Mom,

He was laying on my lap asleep and there was a yellow highlighter nearby.

Love, Sara

Of course… that makes perfect sense.

Gym Class

My daughter Sara, in the 9th grade, is so ready for school to be out for the summer. She took gym this year to get it out of the way for the rest of high school, as she only needed one more credit in P.E. to graduate. I knew she didn’t like gym class, but I’m just now, near the end of the school year, finding out why. She tells me they don’t do anything in there. Sometimes they excercise, sometimes they just sit there and watch various sports practices.

I remember not liking P.E. also in high school, but that’s just because I was lazy… at least we DID things. I told her that every few weeks, we were taught something else: Soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, track… we even went bowling every day once for two weeks. Sara couldn’t believe it, she said she would actually LIKE gym if they did things like that. Wish I had known this at the beginning of the school year - I could have raised a stink.

I’m tired

3 pm and I just woke up. Of course, I didn’t go to sleep until 6 am. You know why. It’s that thing I refuse to talk about here. That’s also why I haven’t blogged lately. I just can’t seem to find the time anymore. If I’m not working or doing things I have to do like cooking or cleaning or shopping or taking Sara places, then I’m sleeping. SO, all you workers out there, tell me how you find the time to blog and read other blogs?
