Tuesdays Too

Got held up by the train on the way to school this morning, sat forever in massive line of traffic.

A bird flew into the Jeep. Not inside the Jeep, it literally flew into the side of the Jeep. *thwack*

Kids were late for last day of school, trains fault. Bird quite possibly freaked me the frack out as well.

Mondays Blow

Today was no exception.

Thank you for your participation.

Flying Balls

It's not everyday that balls fly at my head.

Driving home this morning along a well traveled four lane highway I passed a well used golf course that is surrounded by netting, so at to protect passersby. To my surprise a white flying object came hurtling straight down through the sky toward the Jeep. I have to admit at first I thought it was bird poo, really big bird poo. Imagine my shock when it was a golf ball that bounced right next to the Jeep and then up and over.

Scared the shit out of me. I am pretty sure had it hit the Jeep I would have freaked out. Then promptly pulled into the golf course lot and tried to have a very calm conversation with them.

Hey, I said tried.

Stop the Music

Currently sitting outside the school waiting for dismissal. Several students are on the grass playing flute-type instruments for my listening pleasure.

My ears want to bleed. I feel the need to invest in earplugs and hope that next years music room is further from the front of the school.

Oh, I recognize one of the girls as being one of Taylors friends and the same age and grade. That means my kid inflicts this same *delight* on other unsuspecting visitors as well.

Oh, the joy! This is why I love parenting. The random ear bleeding moments.

Pluses and Minuses

+ We are fully moved in to the new house.

- We have been trying to get a hold of the owners of the last house since the 1st of June and have gotten no response.

- Turn over for the house is supposed to be tomorrow. See above minus.

+ Girls have made friends in the new neighborhood. Taylor is the oldest of the kids so far, next oldest is 7.

+/- We have become the target for the ding dong ditchers in the neighborhood. It is fricking hilarious, so far. I can't wait to catch them in the act. Or figure out where they live and return the favor. Ha! I kinda hope they keep it up so I have something to look forward to.

- I have officially lost my shot at Parent of the Year 2009. Took the girls to the Dr. a couple of weeks ago and mentioned a cough Bailey has had for a while. Thought it was allergy related and wanted recommendations. Ha! She has asthma and I am officially a dumbass. Well, she has allergies too. Oral steroids to clear the wheezing and cough from her chest. Two inhalers daily and Flonase daily for her allergies. Yay...

+ Taylor was declared healthy at that same appointment. That counts for something. Yes?

+ Tim's commute to work has gotten a ton better since we moved closer to the unnamable job. He leaves the house about 25 minutes later than he did at the old house even though we are only about 7 or 8 miles closer, interchanges and traffic.

- My youngest is an emotional mess. I am not sure if it is the new meds or what but I am ready to pull my hair out. She has moments where all she does is cry, she can't tell you why she just cries. We go back to the Dr. on the 22nd if I can't get another appt sooner. I could be bald by then.

Hey, my list came out balanced. Surely that must be a first.
