I'm telling y'all now! I pray for the idiot(s) who use Please Rob Me Now to decide if they're going to rob MY house because I may be out shopping! I may not be home, but guess who is... My former Marine, 6'4" sharp shooter police officer husband who can teach the teachers how to handle a gun. That's who!
Just don't leave your blood on my carpet, please.

A Guy's Logic
So my hubs has been eying the PS3 for quite some time now. But frankly, we already have 2 xbox 360's and I just couldn't see getting a whole new gaming system. Again. It's not like the console and games are so cheap that you can pick a new one up every other month. A new game, regardless of the brand, typically runs more than my phone bill! It's just insane.
Well last week both xboxes got the dreaded red ring of death. And this isn't the first time, either. We've already had to send each one back for repair before. This would be the 2nd time. And frankly, being a mac person, I had warned hubs that since xbox was made by Microsoft, be prepared for many repairs anyway! But I digress.
Now, here's where the Guy Logic comes in... Hubs worked last night. His shift ended Sunday at 6:30am. Typically he would come home, sleep during the day and then be awake at night, as he tries to stay on his sleep schedule as much as possible, and then go back to bed Monday morning. But unfortunately he has court Monday morning. So he knows he has to stay up as long as possible today, so that he can sleep tonight in order to wake up rested for court tomorrow.
He calls me this morning on his way home and actually says to me that he has to get a PS3 on the way home to help him stay up today! See, there is no other way to stay up. No matter that I was taking the kids to the Colorado Garden & Home Show today. He couldn't come with us. That wouldn't work, no way. It must be the PS3.
So I chuckle to myself, and because I know that he has been waiting so patiently for this, I couldn't say no.
I did find it strange, though, that when I got home, he was in bed.... I guess it wasn't the magic pill.
On the plus side, though, now our DVD player that was downstairs is upstairs. The kids will be happy that I can now watch all of my Harry Potter movies in my room!

First Grade Sucks
My poor little Ryan! I just got a call from his teacher. The dreaded first grade teacher. He was written up today. Apparently last night, between Annie being stuck at my hip, cooking dinner and helping Nicholas with his homework, I forgot to sign Ryan's homework. When their homework isn't signed, they lose recess.
Well little Ryan didn't want to lose recess, especially since he had done his homework. So apparently he tried to forge my signature! I just about blew the coffee out of my nose. Apparently she didn't find it too funny. I, however, did! Of course I will have that little talk with him and explain why what he did was wrong, but between you and me, I hope I get to see the signature!

If They Say it's Free and then Ask for Your Credit Card, What do You Expect is going to Happen Next?
Ok, first of all, I know I was reading the Huffington Post. Don't give me any grief over it. I consider myself to be on a reconnaissance mission. But I digress. So, Erica Possin, a college student, is smart enough to realize how important her credit score is, and wants to check it before she tries to purchase a car. So far, seems pretty responsible. But the brains stop there. After clicking through page after page and entering personal information, including her credit card information, she says she was surprised to see charges from a program she didn't realize she enrolled in, and is now suing Experian.
And now it's a class action suit.
The dumbing down of America has got to stop.
ATTENTION PEOPLE: If you are being asked for your credit card information, it isn't to send you a birthday card! And frankly, if you think you should be receiving something for free, why would they need your credit card info in the first place!
Every week I deal with someone who didn't read their contract and then they are upset with me when they don't like the details. And our contracts don't have fine print! I'm talking one paragraph, regular font. Slow down and read it. Understand what you are signing.
Take responsibility for your actions.

Demon Sheep or Sleestak?
I finally watched the demon sheep video (below) about 10 minutes ago. It was hilarious! If you don't have 3 minutes to watch the video, then scroll to 2:20.
I think if I looked in a mirror, I would still have that same dumbfounded look on my face. What the heck was that???? Who approved that ad? Someone, somewhere, watched that video and thought it was a good idea! Maybe even 2 people did! I hope not 3.
And who is narrating that? I thought Paul Frees from the Haunted Mansion had already died! Did they bring him back? And where did they get those red eyes? If Carly Fiorina wanted an ad like this, should have raised a little more capital and put it towards the quality of the ad so it wouldn't look like a remake of the Sleestaks in Land of the Lost.

Oh Sweet Victory! It's the little things in life...
This is for anyone who's ever been stuck behind a parked train! Hopefully it helps a little bit...
Last night my hubby gave a ticket to a Conductor! Oh sweet victory. It's kind of like the people who drive 10+ miles BELOW the speed limit. Drives me nuts. He gives them tickets, too, for impeding traffic.

Trijicon decides to castrate their beliefs. #shame #tcot #military #fail
Now I'm pissed. Just read this updated article. After decades of printing biblical inscriptions on their products, Trijicon says they will send kits for military personnel to remove inscriptions and will remove inscriptions from all current and future orders because they don't want to offend anyone.
Well what if, as a Christian, I'm now offended because they are taking it off?! If I complain that I want it on there, will they add it back on? Of course not, because once again Christians are brushed aside.
I am so sick and tired of having to pussyfoot around people for fear they might be offended. Well grow a spine, people. We are all different and we can't all have it the way we want. If Trijicon wants to print biblical inscriptions, then they should do it. I think it is awful that they are kowtowing.
When will this insanity end? This is just ridiculous.

Muslims offended by bible passages on Trijicon scopes #tcot #military #iaminfidel
What happened to freedom of speech for the majority? Why is it that only minorities can say they are offended about something? For way too long now, we have been pushed around by groups, religious and non, that only serve a few. And now some Muslims are offended that Trijicon scopes have bible passages inscribed on them.
At Christmastime, CHRISTMAS TIME, the time we celebrate Christ, the reason for the season, we can't put out a Nativity for fear of offending 3 people in a neighborhood of 30 who don't want to look at it. If I'm not putting it in your yard, then go about your own business! People can be so self righteous, and yet I certainly don't see them offering to work Christmas day to keep banks, DMV's and other businesses open even though they don't want to acknowledge the day! Such hypocrites! I work with a Muslim who would not participate in any of the Christmas activities we set up at work, and that is fine. I have no problem with that. But I certainly didn't see him offering to work on Friday, Dec 25th. He was quick to take the day off with the rest of the Christians. And believe me, if he would have offered to work, the owner of the company would have let him in a heart beat!
It's as if people pick and choose what to believe in for that particular moment, which is determined by what fits them best at that time. The hypocrisy is astounding.
And now some Muslims in the military are offended about the bible inscription on the scopes, but oddly enough, aren't offended by what the scopes are used for! Talk about disjointed. It's okay that they're using scopes to help them increase their kill count, but there sure better not be a passage from a different religion inscribed on it. Oh no! This is just so absurd.
Do not misconstrue my frustration as frustration with our military. I love our military and stand behind them 100%. My husband was a Marine and has purchased his own Trijicon for use with his AR. I'm just a mother of 4 who is tired of the minority pushing us around and all of the hypocrisy that goes along with it.
