Rain, snow, sleet or hail...

There are so many things in our government that really piss me off. But today, I am particularly pissed at one specific branch.

The United States Post Office.

And to narrow it down further...My Mail Carrier.

I believe she hates me. And apparently, she is a saint at our local main branch. She has been losing our mail for years. However, when we report it they say "Ohhh, no. She's been with us for years. Maybe a substitute carrier lost your mail...but not her!" WTF? I have been STANDING at the mail box and she will put my mail in my neighbor's box. I promise! My neighbor's deliever my mail on a weekly basis!

Up until now, it has always been letters, junk mail, semi-unimportant things that have been "misplaced". But on Monday she finally proved her hatred of me. She lost a Christmas package. A $50 Wii game to be exact. So I reported it. Wanna guess what they told me? Yep. "She said she put it on your porch. Someone must have stolen it." Although, I had 3 packages on the porch on Monday, neither of them was this particular package. And the 3 packages that were actually delievered show that they were delievered at 3:15 pm. And that's exactly right, because I heard her on the porch and went out as she was getting back into her delievery truck. I picked up the 3 packages that were delievered at 3:15 pm at about 3:16 pm.

Mysteriously, the missing package was scanned at 8:36 am. The post office's excuse for this? "Sometimes, if we are short handed we have to pass off parts of the city to another carrier." Huh? But didn't she say that SHE put the package on my porch?

THEY MAKE ME WANNA PULL MY HAIR OUT!!!

End of story? It's my word against hers. And she is right, of course! Someone walked onto my porch somewhere between the time of 3:15 pm and 3:16 pm (they passed her on the sidewalk) and stole my package. Not all of my packages, oh no! Just the one.

Sooo...Congratulations, to my neighbor who received the FREE wii game, on me!!! (Or, of course, to the Invisible Man who stole it). Merry Christmas, asshole! (And that goes double to you, my dear Almighty Postal Carrier friend!)

Wii are screwed =(

Zayden really REALLY did it this time! I mean...this little shit destroys things ALL day EVERY day but this time he has totally outdone himself. Because usually when he destroys something its just THAT something that is destroyed. But this time...He has destroyed CHRISTMAS!

Well, of course I'm overreacting a little bit. But that's all...just a little bit!

Because what he has done is really bad.

Are you sure you're ready for this?

Really? Are you sure?




HE BROKE THE DAMN WII!! A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!!!




Oh? That doesn't seem that bad to you?



What if I told you that almost everything we bought the kids for Christmas was for the Wii? What if I told you that I spent alot of money on those gifts? So much money, in fact, that there is none left. So even I were the luckiest person on earth (which, I'm clearly not!) and could actually find a Wii a week before Christmas, I wouldn't be fortunate enough to purchase it!

So now, my poor unexpecting children have everything that their Letters to Santa requested (because Santa and I went out of our way to ensure a most perfect, memorable Christmas for them) but it was all in vain.


Someone, please show me the good in this. Yeah. Because I'm really trying. But this is horrible =(

Hump Day Humor ~ 10.01.08

It's Wednesday - Hump day as they say.

What could possibly make this miserably long day a little more bearable?

How about some Hump Day Humor?



As I was boringly browsing around the Internet the other day I found this little newspaper article. I felt kinda sorry for this guy. There's NO way outta that one! Hah!












What Big Shoes You Have
Saturday we were in a thrift store and Lexie said that she was going to go look at the shoes. She came back a few minutes later, looking a little confused. I asked her if she found anything cute. She said "Yeah. But who could wear a size One Hundred and Twenty-Five shoe? The look on her face was hilarious. She just couldn't wrap her brain around that one. I told her to bring me the shoes. They were a size 12.5. lol





Mommy, Wow! I'm A Big Kid Now!
Yesterday, Zayden decided to stand on his stool and pee into the toilet like Daddy. He was so proud that he could stand there like a big boy and draw pictures in the water. Afterwards, he told everybody in the house (and on the phone) what a big boy he is. Later in the evening he announced that he had to "poo poo" so he ran to the bathroom and stood on his stool. I told him to go ahead and sit down so he could poo. He yelled NO! and turned around so that his butt was aiming at the toilet. Then this child tried to launch his poop into the toilet, standing up! HAH!




Hope the remainder of your Hump Day is Humorous!

This weeks Theme/Prompt is:

HEADS - Shake

Here is how we do most of our "Shaking" around here.

"We gotta Jump. Shake. Shimmy them out. We gotta jump, shake shimmy them out.

Get the sillies out. Get the sillies out....":)

Sunday Drives and Forest Creatures

Yesterday was so dreary and just plain...yucky. We were supposed to go to my dad's house but he had plans. So we ended up with no plans. And what do you do on a yucky Sunday when you have no plans? You go for a "Sunday Drive". Yes, I know. Gas is $4+ per gallon. And no, we are not loaded. And no, we don't have our own personal gas reserve. So, we didn't drive far on our Sunday Drive.

What we did do is drive to a national forest/park nearby. Zayden loves the great outdoors so we decided to go on a nature trail-hike.



He thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the new creatures and plants.

Like his snow boots? Nice, yes? He loves those boots! We call them his astronaut boots. hehe

Me? Not so much. I hate bugs. And dirt. But it was cool to watch him explore a new place. And the girls found a swinging vine about a mile and half into the hike and that was awesome. We spent a significant amount of time letting them swing like Tarzan. :)

And Marc found a buddy about a quarter of a mile into the hike.



He carried that damn thing the whole hike. Just to torment us with it. Well, me with it. The kids became fond of it and named 'her' Nim. They were sad to leave her behind at the end of the trip. But there was NO way that thing was going into my car! So, I convinced them that, if they took her home, Marc would use her for fishing bait. Heh :/ What? It worked!

During our hike we also saw this rare forest creature...



and when we came back out onto the road look who was waiting for us!

So, although it started out to be a yucky day, we made the best of it and actually had an awesome day. I have a few more really cool pictures but I think they may debut on Weekly Winners next sunday :)

Have a Happy Monday!
