so just a few random things that irked me today:

  • i tried to bookmark a new blog on my computer … and i had no choice but to upgrade my toolbar before i could add it. so i upgraded … only took a few seconds. well … my bookmarks are all screwed up now. half of them aren’t even showing up … i have to go into another section to find them. argh!!! i had my list … i knew the order they were in … i  could click on them super quick. not anymore! lol!
  • some idiot down the street has been working on his car again. why does the entire neighborhood need to listen to him rev his engine for 13 hours a day?!?!? don’t these guys have jobs?
  • i made a starbucks run this morning … my neighbor was off today and wanted some. since i had a few minutes before the kiddos came i offered to go. luckily the drive thru was moving super quick. sadly when i got home i realized there was a hole in my straw. you just can’t drink the same when your straw has a hole.
  • i was trying to take a few pictures of some layouts i completed yesterday. not sure why … but i couldn’t get a decent picture of them for the life of me. i’d take the pics and then pull them up on the computer … they’d suck. then i’d take some more and pull them up … and they still weren’t good. so frustrating to spend that much time on it … i think i actually created all those layouts in less time. lol!
  • i made some more of the pizza twists tonight since the girls had to leave early for awana … figured quick and easy. except this time i have the crust pieces and cheese stuck all over my cookie sheet. i worked at it forever trying to scrape it all off. usually i would just toss the cookie sheet and get a new one … but it’s my good air-bake cookie sheet. maybe i should have greased it first or something. at the same time though … i stopped at the grocery store tonight to pick up a few things and found the tubed pizza dough and breadsticks were on sale for only $1 … normally i pay over $3 for these. must go back and get more!
  • got a call about sarah’s softball team. she didn’t make the under-10’s like we wanted … technically she’s under-8’s, but we thought we’d try since it be more challenging for her and much more fun to watch. i don’t mean this in a bad way … but under-8’s are soooo boring. and apparently practice is on the other side of town … we’re talking about 15 minutes away … at 4:30. heck, i still have daycare kids around. i’m not about to pack everyone up and totel them across town when they all live right here by me. and of course practice is on wednesday (along with monday) … the same night as choir and awana which i really don’t want her to miss just to go toss a ball around in some unorganized toddler leaque. geez … can i be any more negative?!?!? lol!

i guess that’s enough griping for now. every once in awhile you just have to have a little gripe-fest … right? feels better to vent!

    Can i add some of my gripes too? Well for us we’ll just sign Tawny up with the other city league, i’m not prepared to run my daughter out there and see her loose interest with no challenge for her. It’s frustrating that they tell us that it would be dangerous for her to get moved up, but then some coaches kids are her age and get moved up. See! you got me started. And i can’t believe i’m saying this but i’m so glad my girls are going off track, we so need some time off. And when i say we, i mean it. Danielle has had so many projects (science fair, PE report, self portrait, multigenre, Zine and everyday 7th grade homework that she needs a break! Well thanks for letting me get it off my chest. I hope you had a Happy V. Day and that your day will be better tomorrow. That guy better get his car fixed, that would drive me crazy%$&!@*&%. BTW i did sign up for my Scrap-A-Faire classes 🙂

    Something about February brings out the best in every SAHM….(wink, wink)
    It must be the weather, and being cooped up with sick kids. And the leftover holiday season frusteration. I have done nothing but VENT lately.
    Let it out sister! It feels better when you hit send. 🙂
