Miscellaneous Musings
filed in Just a rant on Dec.14, 2008
So Middle Child went for her first day of training for her new job Saturday morning. Now, first let me stress that at 9:30pm on Friday she announces, “Oh! I still need to buy black restaurant shoes!”
I’m like, “What? You’re frickin telling me this NOW? Ummm….we’re not shopping at 9:30pm.” (This is a frequent occurrence at our home…..suddenly realizing that tomorrow is coming faster than we thought) So we hunted around the house for anything that might ‘do’ for the first day. Nothing. Arghhh! So that meant instead of waking up at 7:15am on Saturday morning, we now needed to wake at 6:30am so that we could run up to Walmart and buy a pair of those special black shoes.
*****************************************************************************

Note to my family ~who have a special ability to never replace the spent roll with a new one:
So. Not. Cool.
Can you spare a square?
*****************************************************************************
Very early Saturday morning as we’re driving to buy shoes (ahem!) Middle Child notes that we’re the only ones on the road. “Why even bother wasting electricity keeping the street lights on? We’re the only one’s dumb enough to be out driving this early…on…a…Sat..urday!” (Can you tell she’s not used to getting up before 12 on weekends? Ahhh, jobs!)
******************************************************************************
Note to self:
When bringing in firewood to add to the VERY hot fireplace? Um…DON’T wear your good coat. (Because your coat sleeve may brush up against the blazing hot door….causing it to MELT and FUSE to the door)
See the big black mess on the formly beautiful glass door? Yep, that’s m’ sleeve.

Sorry about your coat, that sucks.
I would’ve told my kid to put black socks over her sneakers.

“Spare a square” — LOL. I said that to someone in a public restroom. I thought my girlfriend was next to me and that episode had just aired. Oh man…was I so embarrassed. Hope your daughter’s first day in the “real” world was good – can’t wait to hear about it. Her early morning observations are hysterical!

Oh no! Well, at least you got a good blog post out of it? Sorry, my view of the glass being half full never quite measures up!

My husband has a tp problem too. What is the deal? I suspect it will only get worse as more members of the family begin using the toilet.

Oh man that sucks about your coat!! I would be soooo irritated!! My son is notorious for waiting till the last second to tell me he needs something for school the next day or whatever! It drives me NUTS so I feel you on this one!!
I just wanted to say thanks for asking about the hubby. He is doing better and he should be discharged tomorrow! I am definitely ready for him to be home! I hope you have a great Monday!

Spare a square! I love that episode!
And your coat!?! OH the poor coat! That sux!

Funny stuff. I personally hate replacing toilet paper. I have found that if you have the kind of holder that doesn’t require you to do anything other than insert paper, it works much better. Having to take it apart means that people like me, will leave it empty. Besides, baby wipes work well too

I just adore how our kids wait until the very last minute for something. Of course, if we didn’t give in, that behavior might stop. You go first and let me know how it works out.
And sorry about the coat. That is sucky.

Well, crap on all three of those! Getting up earlier than you should have to is one of the things I hate the most, lol. I might’ve taken a black sharpie to a pair of white shoes.

Sometimes I still have that “last minute” habit too.
Oh, sorry about your coat.
