Dear Buttmunch:

Dear Buttmunch:

Our eyes met briefly on the road today.  Me, in the passenger seat teaching my son to drive — you, in the drivers seat as you flew around us.   Now.  Let me just say, I am teaching a teenage boy to drive.  This kid will learn the laws and pass his test and hopefully not turn into you, Mr. Impatient.   I hope you are aware that my son, along with all the rest of the traffic in front, and in back of us, was going the speed limit.  There are actually signs every hundred feet or so that indicate what the speed limit is on each particular road, Buttmunch.

I know you were having a cardiac problem by the way you were creeping up his ass.  I was having one too, as instead of keeping his eyes fixed on the road, he was more worried about trying to please your sorry ass.  Actually, maybe instead of the dirty look, you should have given a “thank you nod”, as chances are he probably saved your sorry butt from mowing down some innocent person up the road because you were going too fast and were too impatient… I believe in that stuff you know.

And with that I close this letter and wish you a better day.  Next time, leave a little earlier.  Better yet, think of your own child driving one day, and imagine how you would like him or her to be treated.   Loosen up, the place you are trying to get too is not worth dying over.

Good day Sir.
Signed,

The Mom you caused to have heart palpitations.

My Car Knows I Cheated On It.

So this week was sorta hectic.  I finished up the “Chevy thang” and had to give back the Traverse.   It was pretty fun and I got to be on tv.   Twice.   I met two new blogging moms in my area.   I ended up posting 8 videos for Chevy and 8 blog posts.   As it turns out, the commercials that I had been waiting to see have been airing (the one’s we filmed last month).   But the producer sent us a link to the finished ones so we got to see them.  (#61 is the link, #62 is the second one).  My Jeep was parked in the garage all month and must have been pissed at me.   As soon as I turned the key… the engine light came on!    I fed it some gas and told it how much I loved it and then drove it up to the store.  And by day 2, the light went off.  *whew*

Okay, so then… since Alan has finished up his cross country he’s been bugging me to teach him to drive.   So yesterday we started that whole thing.  We did a few hours at the local cemetery a few months back – my favorite ”teach your kid to drive spot”… but then things got busy at school.   My goal was to get him out on the actual road; he was hesitant.    My girls were given “driving nicknames”:   like… “Brake, Brake BRAKE!!” and “Stay in your lane”.   I’m pretty sure Alan’s will be “For God’s Sake-Brake when turning!!!”.

You know that ride “The Scrambler” at the amusement park?  Yep.  It’s a lot like that when he’s turning a corner.   Fly to the left then whiplash back to the right.  No brakes mind you.   This is my last kid driving.  If I can make it through this without going into cardiac arrest I should get some sort of gift a jug of whiskey.    So we’ve got a total of 3 hours down for the parent/kid driving.  FORTY-SEVENNNNN more to go.  WOOT. *confetti*  Oh, and did I mention it’s snowing here?  ha ha ha.  Good times.

So I’m hoping this weekend to get the rest of the Christmas decorations up.   And with that… I leave you with a link to some handmade holiday treasures! These are easy to make, and actually, even little kids can do these!  Check um out, you won’t be disappointed.  Would I ever steer you wrong?  No. No I wouldn’t.  (and there’s a few more in this post as well)

Happy Weekend Everyone!

Flash 55 – Changes
I’ll do it, I promise.

Lots of things change.
The House majority changes.  The weather changes.  We change our underwear.
We even change our minds.   Some things, however, never change.

Like teenage girls needing to be reminded 4,678,928 times to PUT AIR in tires.
How does one drive with 15 lbs of air in a tire that should have 30?
