I think I should be out looking for the truck that ran over me or checking for a track running through my room. I feel like hell and the day is just starting. My momma always told me, to be upbeat when I felt bad and I would feel better. I think she lied to me. I think that was her way to keep me from bitching when I felt bad. But momma ain’t here and I have a few random rants…..
So where to start? How about the damn ticket we got during Memorial Day weekend… Haven’t mentioned this? Well, we got TWO tickets for not wearing seat belts! I normally wear my seat belt, but I was in the Blazer and the damn seat belt was stuck in the “oh, hell, no you won’t be pulling it across you” position! It was stuck, I don’t know why, it just was. I tried slowly pulling it, I tried yanking the hell out of it, I tried cussing it out, I tried everything, nothing worked. Hubby rarely wears his seat belt, so he had no excuse. We past a policeman, hubby waved, we got pulled over. I could kick his ass for being polite and waving!
I know I am fixing to be sooo politically incorrect, but I think wearing a seat belt is a personal choice and the police should keep their noses out of it. As I said, I normally wear mine, it is my personal choice not to fly out of my window if I hit someone. But what right does anyone have to tell me I can’t choose to fly out of my window if I wreck if I want to? I wouldn’t be hurting anyone but myself! Unless I flew out of my window and into the other car and hit the person and the odds of that would have to be almost nonexistent!
And besides there are times that wearing a seat belt during an accident is more harmful. Case in point, my brother had a wreck and had he been wearing his seat belt, he would have been unable to jump into the passengers lap and would have been sitting somewhere on the motor of the other car. He lied to the policeman, said yes he was wearing his seat belt, the policeman told him if he had been wearing his seat belt he would be dead. Same wreck, I wanted to go, they wouldn’t let me, but had I went I would have been in the back seat, buckled in and in the middle. The back seat was a U shaped mess, I would have been crushed.
Another case, while I was in school a friend and her brother were in an accident, again no seat belts, the police told her, if she had been wearing her seat belt, they would have been cutting her out of the door.
In both accidents, there were no major injuries, but in both accidents had they been wearing seat belts, they would be in the ground now.
And I have one for wearing seat belts, I had a friend who was partially thrown from the car, the car landed on him. His so called friend was drunk and “forgot” he was in the car with a friend and left him there. My friend died after hours of trying to dig himself out from under his own car. It had landed on him from his waist down. Had he been wearing a seat belt he most likely would have died but may not have suffered for those hours.
Before anyone jumps down my throat, I know seat belts save lives! I wear mine! My daughter wears hers! I can’t testify to my boys wearing theirs. BUT, I think it should be a personal decision, I don’t think it should be illegal to put your own life at risk.
I hate my shower! During the winter I have to turn the hot water on all the way and barely turn on the cold water. During the summer I have to turn the cold water all the way on and barely turn on the hot water. I can’t get this adjusted just right until the next effin season! Every night so far I have gotten 3rd degree burns on my back from getting in the shower. OK, not 3rd degree burns, but it still burns like hell and I have to stand and adjust the water for like 5 minutes! No we have not adjusted the hot water heater. Hell, you can’t get to the hot water heater! Whoever designed this place had rocks in their heads! To get to the hot water heater, you have to move the washing machine out and remove a section of the wall. Then and only then can you get to the water heater, and I have a feeling when you got in there, it would be turned backwards and you wouldn’t be able to get to the adjustments! I said it is an insulation problem, hubby said it is insulated from the factory. I think they forgot to insulate the damn thing! Or maybe it is the lines, I don’t know, I just know I am tired of burning myself when I get in the shower. I just BARELY turned on the hot water last night and I turned the cold water all the way on, I expected to get in a cold shower, but NO, I got burned again, apparently the hot water faucet turned more than I thought and the cold water faucet still had millimeters left to turn! As I cussed, my husband slept! As I screamed about the hot water, my husband slept! As I bitched, yes, my husband slept!
My MIL is at it again! Every year we go through this and it drives me crazy! She tells the kids they can do whatever as long as I don’t care. But I am suppose to be the big bitch that won’t let them do it. Yesterday, she came over and asked Little Miss to ride with her and the hellion to take some Ensure to her mom, she told her if she would they would stop at the park on the way home and play for a little while. Of course Little Miss agreed to this. I mean, not only does she get away from me, but she gets to go to the park. They go across the yard, making plans. Little Miss comes back and asks if they can go swimming. I told her I thought they were going to Granny’s and the park. She said they wanted to go swimming and mammaw didn’t care. I told her to wait until they got back, she went stomping across the yard. She came back, mammaw said if I didn’t care, she didn’t care if they went swimming first. So now I have to figure out, if she doesn’t want them to swim or she doesn’t want to go to the park. And since she has suddenly broke out in skin cancer, according to her, and she shouldn’t be out in the sun, I assume she doesn’t want to go to the park. I told her whatever mammaw wanted I didn’t give a shit. She insist I must make a decision, mammaw left it to me. I told her to go the hell on and leave me alone. They went swimming, I figure MIL didn’t want to go to the park…..You know, we don’t have time to go to the park, since she let you go swimming. The kids were in the pool for a grand total of 5 minutes! Little Miss came home and informed me, they were going to granny’s, then to the park to play and get a hamburger and have a picnic. I told her, “Great, go on and leave me in peace to PLURK and Twitter clean. So I assume I was suppose to be the big bitch who wouldn’t let them swim.
How do you suddenly break out in skin cancer? I haven’t seen anything but a bunch of little bumps, almost rashy, on her lower arms. She says it is skin cancer. I say if she has skin cancer on both of her lower arms, she needs to see a doctor and have them removed and stay the hell out of the sun! It almost looks like prickly heat to me. OH, I am sorry it is sun cancer, not skin cancer! That’s what she keeps calling it, Sun Cancer. WTF?!!!! She is going to drive me crazy! She sent Little Miss in to ask me if I would watch them in the pool because mammaw didn’t need to be in the sun. She knows I clean and wash on Monday, I don’t have time to sit at the pool. I told Little Miss as much. She came back and told me Mammaw would watch them since I wouldn’t, even though she was broke out and didn’t need to be out in the sun. I told Little Miss she didn’t have to get in the pool at all. They got in, mammaw agrees to watch the little hellions, but she doesn’t want to actually watch them.
Well, hubby survived his first long day. It wasn’t as long as he thought it would be, he left at 1:45 am and got home at 3:00 pm. He took a short nap in the recliner, woke up, bitched for a minute, went to bed to finish his nap. I was to wake him up at 4. He just wanted to sleep for 30 minutes, yeah right! I went in at 4, he mumbled something. I went in at 4:30, he said he was up. I went in at 5:30, he mumbled something I prefer to think was I love you. I went in at 6 and told him supper was done. He finally got up. Food was mentioned, around here, food is a good wake up call. He then decided it would be a good idea to bitch at me for not getting him up at 4. Not a great idea, I have decided the next time I shall roll his ass in the floor!
Bug and BJ went swimming with Little Miss and both of the hellions. I guess a good time was had by all except maybe Bug. She was wanting to get in without the hellions, she didn’t want to get splashed. I guess BJ going was enough to convince her to get in. And she was splashed. The kids were doing flips off of BJ’s shoulders. Wait, I know I had a shit fit too. Turns out, he let them stand on his shoulders and hold his hands and they flipped and held onto his hands and he pulled them up as they flipped. They weren’t flipping off his shoulders as in leaping in the air and flipping. He was also “throwing” them around. I would say the pool would have to be down a couple of feet! heh!
They got out and The Boy got in with them. I know shocks all around! He had went to Rerun’s with the promise of being home at 9:30 latest, he was home by 5:30. I was shocked! Then the next shocker was when he changed into swim shorts to get in the pool with all of the kids. He threw them around too. That makes me nervous, I am constantly fearing that someone will land on the wall, not in the water. I know the ones throwing pay attention, but I guess I am a nervous person by nature. Hubby throws Little Miss around too. I think my fear comes from knowing I will be the one to tend to her if she gets hurt!
WordPress is being a pain in my ass this morning. No matter where I click the mouse, the damn curser goes to the very beginning of the post. My spell check won’t even work. Well, Little Miss is up and about, so I guess I should go. So until next time……………
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR VISITING!!!!!!!!!!
