I hate smart cars and the people who drive them

They're for people who haven't completely grown up yet...  

The Part of Police Work You Don't See

As many of you know, my husband is a police officer. Today while I was at the grocery store buying food for the 6 of us, he called to ask me our account balance.

He was on an accident call where a mom who was dropping her son off at soccer practice and had another little child in the car, accidentally hit  a pole. Now, I'm not one to judge someone about running into stuff so we'll just leave it at that. Apparently she busted her radiator. She called her husband but he didn't get off work until midnight and couldn't leave his job.

She was stranded. Her car wouldn't start and she had 2 kids to take care of.

Out of his own pocket, my husband paid to have her car towed for her, with no expectation of being repaid.

I wish more people could see this side of Police Work.

Coffee thoughts

As I sit here, with my fresh brewed pot of coffee, all for myself, I begin pondering the existence of people who purchase those one cup pod coffee makers.

Who are you, really? I bet you wake up and anticipate using your pod maker, holding a warm cup, but not really needing, or wanting, that cup of coffee. I mean, who only drinks one cup of coffee?! Surely not a real coffee drinker!

Ah, that's right. Those oh so cuddly, warm feeling commercials, women smiling, hubby right there beside her, what could be wrong with our coffee at hand!

Well I say pfft! That's right, pfft! Every morning I want that pot of coffee, and if it runs out, I'm makin more! With cream without cream, no sugar, that's ok too. Give it to me black on those really rough mornings! Don't waste my time with your designer $300 coffee pots. Hell, I'll chew the grounds if I have to!

So, without further adieu, my masterpiece:

Coffee: An Haiku

Oh friend, my coffee
I am lost without you near
But you make me pee

Damn You, Pinterest!

I made this one.  I'm proud!  ;)



I've been resisting joining Pinterest for quite a while now, and I finally gave in a couple days ago.  So now I'm pinning away, pretending I'm going to:

• Garden
• Have Summer Fun
• Decorate the house
• Decorate the kids' rooms
• Try new recipes
• Try new ways to clean
• and Finally get organized!

(Those are some of my boards if you're interested in checking them out)!  Hmmm.  I wonder if this will be another internet resource that keeps me from actually doing the things I write about?  :)

Laughing in the Drive Thru

If my trip through the drive thru hadn't been so funny, I probably would be more upset that they messed up my order (they always f**k you at the drive thru).  But this time, the manager and I were laughing so hard, I'm sure it was a complete oversight on both of our parts.

I found myself at the Taco Bell drive through after an entire morning of listening to Annie (5), argue with Ryan (9).  When I pulled up to the window, I politely asked the manager if he needed a little extra help, as I was willing to have my 5 year old do some manual labor today, and that I would gladly pick her up at closing.  The manager looked at me, and without missing a beat, said, "I'v got a couple of those around here today, already!"

I was definitely not expecting that response, and we both started laughing hysterically, as Annie continued to argue in the backseat!

Sean Hannity destroys Occupier #LNYHBT #TCOT

Sean Hannity absolutely destroys this Occupier. For the first time, I really felt like my 13 year old son understood what I was trying to tell him about these people. He watched that 29 year old spoiled brat say he finally had to go get a job because his student loan money, which coincidentally, he had no idea where it comes from, was running out. Absolutely pathetic!

Life with a 10 year old boy. OMFG!!!

I kid you not, this just happened...

Colby, the dogs are thirsty, please give them water. - Colby walks to the bathroom

Colby, they need water. The bucket is in their kennel. - Colby comes in with their food bowls

Colby, they want WATER! - omg, he brings the empty bucket in the house!!!

COLBY, GET YOUR BUTT OUTSIDE AND FILL THEIR FLIPPIN' WATER BUCKET IN THE KENNEL! - Colby says, geez mom, why are you yelling?!?

There just aren't enough mood enhancers for this!

CAUGHT! Brown handed! #fb

Well, I'm supposed to be on a diet.  I'm already down 1.5 pounds!  But today I just had to have a piece of chocolate.  It was sitting in the refrigerator.  Oh how I love cold chocolate!

Except it was a little too hard, apparently, or maybe I'm just a little too old!

Off breaks half my molar!!!!  ugh.

Frogs everywhere! #fb

Ok, maybe not everywhere. Nick got off work early today and this is what he found.

Still no speeding ticket #fb

I've tried and tried and tried, but alas, still no speeding ticket. On Friday afternoon, I even called nick to let him know I'd be passing through his town in about 5 minutes.

Unfortunately, he was doing "paperwork" in the PD and wasn't "available".

I tried again today, zipping all around his town on my way home, radio blaring, looking cute in my new 4Runner. Is he anywhere to be found?

Nope. I think someone's all talk. Just sayin!
