ever have one of those days where you just wish you could go back to sleep and start over? today was one of those days for me.
desmonds bus for summer school never showed up. i got a letter from the school pretty much ordering me to have him out there at 7:35am ready to go or else! (it was in bold. ) they had no idea he had to be picked up. .. this meant i missed my therapy appointment...
which was cancelled at the last minute because the therapist's kid was sick with a fever(understandable). good thing i forgot to call for my ride the friday prior or id have to hear about it from my insurance company.
already i have decided i want to stay home and hide under my covers. something told me not to leave the house today. people really need to stop questioning my intuition...
IHOP- i manage a smile and we(me, my mom, and desmond) head out to have breakfast at ihop before going to rent a center to look at furniture(oh yea they get honorable mention in this blog for pissing me off...but that is later.) we are sat after a short wait. no big deal. the manager offers us crayons and explains to us( like he always does) how to use the childrens menus...like we are stupid but i pay no mind. he is just like that. i politely decline the crayons but he throws them at us hard enough to knock the silverware out of its napkin and blurts out "well im just going to leave them here anyway." and storms off
ok now, wtf?
whatever, i move on from that. (oh how i wish id left at this point.)
our waitress come s to take care of us and is set to take our drink orders and i say that we are ready to order too. she snaps at us, "well which do you want? your drinks or to place your order!"
ok again i say...wtf???(things in italics are thoughts not what i actually said)
when i was a server at friendlys i could take the full drink and food orders of three tables within a few minutes and not break a sweat. is it my fault she sucks at her job? whats with her attitude?
whatever. .. i move past it. (oh man i should have left at this point!)
desmond of course decides to act up at precisely this moment and ...GASP! i let out an "f" word. alert the media folks. a parent used profanity when yelling at her kid under her breath. a family had just been sat in the booth next to us and this woman had the nerve to lecture me on using profanity in front of her children when she was "freakin" this and "freakin" that. pardon me, but isnt freakin just the pg-13 version of fucking? what kind of example is SHE setting? like she has never slipped in fron of her kids? i said the word ONE TIME!
she is also raising her voice and i am trying to take the high road here. i prefer to avoid confrontations especially in public and in front of my kid. I LIKE TO SET A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR MY CHILD. but she keeps at it til another manager splits us up.
then one of the managers(not the one who threw the crayons at my kid) says "can i take your bill for you?" i say yes and she comes back.
you know how when you use a credit card they give you the bill in the book with a pen? she tossed the slips on my table with no pen and walked away. so naturally i quietly mutter what the fuck?(yea they had no problem taking my money!)
the ruckus had long since died out and this bitch(the manager) wanted to start up with me for who knows what reason? the couple with their kids had long since forgotten about me im sure. this cow comes up to my face...three inches away mind you and goes "your language is attrocious, you should be ashamed of yorself for acting that way in front of your child."
whoah hold on a sec bitch. do not question my parenting skill over me saying FUCK one time!
she then tells me i am no longer welcome there...no big loss as i have no intention of ever returning there again. their food and coffee suck anyway. but their service is HORRENDOUS. i can go to the newport creamery and get good food and exceptional service. they never throw things at me or call me a bad mother.
she follows me as i am leaving and cusses me out in front of the whole restaurant and i am trying so hard to keep my cool but this bitch pushed all my buttons and once and it is only because my mom and my kid were there that i didnt lay that bitch out and get taken away in handcuffs.(did i mention i have no criminal record? but this bitch pushed me that far.)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!
we were made to wait on the side of the road for our cab to rent a center....
RENT A CENTER- over priced used furniture but that is not the half of it. did you all know that on the application for rental they have the audacity to ask for AGE, SEX, AND RACE? why not ask for sexual orientation, religion and whether or not i have a disability? WHY DO THEY NEED TO KNOW THIS AND ISNT IT ILLEGAL TO ASK THIS STUFF ON A RENTAL APPLICATION?
if i am wrong let me know. regardless, i wont be doing business with them. i found an awesome bedroom set at st pauls thrift store that is way better and i can get a brand new mattress and box spring. that set and the living room set costs less than just the bedroom at rent a center. their loss.
i am home now.
i am so happy now.
i waited til id calmed down to write this...can you tell?
at least im off tonight. yay! still i doubt work could ever work me up THIS much. seriously. i have chest pains, high blood pressure, cramped shoulder and arm muscles, and i almost kicked someones ass in front of my kid. all because i said a bad word. all i wanted to do the whole time was go home and cry.
but now i am home. its nice and quiet here except for spongebob. i am among sane people. :) and having desmond hug me and tell me he loves me makes everything all better.
thanks for enduring my rant.
blessings,

ps did i mention i was carded this week? :)
..>..>
well folks yesterday we decided we needed a break from the creamery and decided that the worst thing that could happen upon arriving at ihop is i would be asked to leave. no big. i was feeling too good to cause waves and there are plenty of other places to eat. but man did i miss those swedish pancakes! lol
and now...the tale of...
WIOTCH, THE BEE SLAYER
the wiotch and her travelling companion, "she who has yet to be named", came upon the dark and dreary lair of the she hobbit who guards the house of the international pancakes. she is an evil troll of a woman and a mighty foe of the wiotch. they were granted access due to wiotch's newly shorn and blonder mane which fooled the troll goddess or perhaps it was the money card and the availability of outdoor eating accommodations that made her feel more charitable and forgiving. nevertheless, the daring duo entered at their own peril...weaving their way through a hoard of pancake sucking barbarians with the help of thie blonde guid who would be assisting them in their quest for the international passport...
while dining al fresco the two were acosted by a most viscious and aggressive ( and totally unprovoked) creature...the mighty bee. a worthy adversary if ever there was one. it circled us, got its nerve on and went straight for my dining companion. attracted perhaps by her fruity perfume or her cranberry juice..that is anyones guess. she shrieked and the wiotch went into action looking for the best way to eradicate the threat without upsetting the other patrons but alas there was nothing to trap, squoosh or otherwise defeat this fearless creature.
special note to all harm none types, it was life or death. this bee was unstoppable and quite possibly of this dimention! for it had an amazing tenacity.
suddently the bee decided to make its home in the glass of cranberry juice and the quick thinking wiotch went into action, sacrificing her yummy tomato uice with lemon, dumping the remaining contents into the cranberry juice. still this was not enough as the mighty bee floated up to the surface and started doing the backstroke...mocking the wiotch! "is that all you got" he seemed to be saying.
not to be outdone, wiotch grabed a fork and trapped the arrogant insect witht he tines up agains the inside of the glass as it desperately tried to break free from its soon to be final resting place. at last the tenacious bee gave up and victory went to the mighty and brave wiotch...inspiring a fellow soldier at another table to join in the fight and vanquish the foe at his table.
as our duo waited for their tab to be settled, reinforcements arrived. the fallen bees' tribe was there to exact vengeance on the one who had taken their brothers down. theonly smart thing to do was to flee and live to fight another day...this time with back up. and so the mighty wiotch and she who has yet to be named left the evil fortress of ihop unscathed but wiser and prepared for the next onslaught.
and so a legend was born...
go on and say it...im not right. but you have to admit its a funny story. needless to say it appears the ban o tura has b een lifted or forgotten or whatever so i am going to let bygones be bygones as long as i am not bothered while i dine.
hope you all enjoyed that revisit to the first part of this tale and werent drinking anything when reading the rest. wouldnt want to be responsible for wetting of keyboards and monitors. :)
blessings all and i hope this gets your week off to a great start!

DEAR JOHN..
Current mood: blah
Category: Romance and Relationships
ERR. I MEAN DEAR MIKE.
well i guess he figured it out. i got an email this morning from him saying "i guess you had enough of me". i am guessing he realized my profiel is no longer private and that my status is set to single again.
here was my reply. i think i was a lot nicer than most would have been considering what he asked me to do on the way to pagan pride...
MY REPLY
im sorry. i like you but i dont think we are gonna be compatible. i get that you are not into the pagan thing but i feel like i could have just taken a bus and gotten more out of it and done something else with you another time. things seemed kind of awkward after that request you made at the side of the road on the way. considering we had not slept together at that point it seemed kind of inappropriate to me since that is something i only do with somone very close and special and we are still too new for that. and then with you not calling me it just sort of sent me the message that you were mad that i said no. i really did think there was potential and i think you are a really nice guy but i dont know what else to say. i think maybe i am a bit to extroverted for you too. and that could be a big problem down the line as i am very social and touchy feely with my friends. if i am wrong by all means let me know. no matter what i am all for staying in touch and being friends. ill let you decide what you want to do.
