It has rained 16 days out of the last 20

 

It has rained the past 8 weekends

 

 

 

 

Will it NEVER end?????

 

 

What happens to boys once they hit 16? Does every drop of blood leave their brain and go to straight to their fucking dick? Is this the way it works? Can they think of NOTHING else or do they just get really fucking confused and dumber than shit?????

Since my son has turned 16, which has only been a couple of months ago, his mind has not been where it's supposed to be...ok...let me rephrase that......he's gone stupid. He all of a sudden thinks that he doesn't need to do what is expected of him and what is right

Last week I got a call from his math teacher telling me that he didn't turn in his math project and there would be points taken off daily until it was turned in. Needless to say, the math project was done the same night as the phone call I thought I was going to half to beg someone for a blood pressure pill but the damn project got done

I got a call earlier today from the principal Of all the people in the whole fucking school to get a call from, I get the privilege of getting the head of the school Well isn't that just fucking special.

For whatever fucked up reason, he thinks he is above and beyond all the other kids that have to dress out in PE class. He thinks he doesn't have to obey the teacher's rules and instructions I'm not quite sure when he fell and bumped his big ass head but that is apparently exactly what he has done if he thinks he can just do as he pleases and not obey the rules and the teacher

If you cannot tell, I am angry!!! I am tears rolling angry!!! I am pissed!!! I am very frustrated and I am embarrassed by my son's behavior.

I now know why the school calls parents at work. At first I thought it was just to fuck up their day and maybe get a little pleasure out of it but NOW...I don't think that's the case at all. They call parents at work to give them the bad news so they'll have a few hours to calm down before they get home and they won't kill their kid!!! THAT'S why they call!!!

I have a small bowl on my desk that sits between the keyboard and the computer screen where I keep candies, mints, etc. For the past two weeks, I've had a whole bag of cough drops in it and a about 6 or 8 starlite mints. I think I ate, MAYBE, and I'm stretching that maybe way out, one cough drop and none of the mints.

I came in on Monday and noticed that there were only TWO cough drops left and NO mints.

What the hell??????

As far as I know, we don't have elves coming in to make our shoes over the weekend but there is a cleaning crew that comes in. So......that leaves me to think that the cleaning crew or someone on the cleaning crew helped themselves to my cough drops and mints.

I don't know about anyone else, but if I saw some candies sitting in a bowl on a person's desk, I wouldn't just help myself. Even if it is out in the open. I have a shot glass sitting on my desk too that I keep change in, why not take that too if they think they can just help themselves to anything that's on my desk.

Anyway, it's not that I'm heartbroke over the cough drops or the mints. It's the fact that it didn't belong to them and they helped themselves and on top of that they helped themselves to just about ALL of it They were nice enough to leave me TWO whole cough drops though

As it sits today, there are still the same two cough drops in there and 3 mints that I dropped in there today.

Wonder if I'll blow my karma all to hell if uwrap each candy, give it a good lick, wrap it back up and put it back in the bowl

My youngest daughter had her first (and hopefully only) incident while driving. Luckily, we were very close to home.

The driveway

She went to pull out of the driveway and didn't quite make it like she was supposed to so the mailbox did a slide by down the side of the truck It put a nice white stripe (on a blue truck) down the side almost the length of the bed.

She kept apologizing and saying she was never going to drive again but we both know that was just runoff of the mouth.

In the end, the paint came off but there is a faint scratch all the way down the side of the truck but it's better than the glowing white stripe that was there and at least it was just a mailbox and she did leave the mailbox standing so all was not lost

If that's all she ever does while driving then she's already done better than I have

Let's see....

What's been happening here....

I was busy last week trying to find a house to rent at the beach for vacation this year. It was a pain in the ass too because each one I would find, Hubby didn't like something about it. I almost gave up and told him to do it but then thought better of that. If I left vacation planning up to him, we'd pitch a tent on the pier (if that was allowed), wash off with cooler water and eat fish everyday for a week.

Now that the matter of the house is settled my mind is free to put thought into other things.

My youngest daughter does her behind the wheel starting on May 6th. There just isn't a big enough smile here for me to relay what I'm feeling about this. She's had her learners for two years and FINALLY there will be a licensed driver in my house other than Hubby and myself. I think she's really pushing this so she can drive Hubby's truck while we're at the beach but I'm not sure they will be allowing driving on the beach in the Outerbanks anymore. That issue is still up in the air, I believe.

My son, the only child of mine that has been 'driving' since he was 8 or 9 (thanks to hunting and dirt roads) can't seem to pass his test for his learner's permit .

My oldest daughter still hasn't changed her ways and I'll just leave that like it is

~~~~~~~~~~

Hmm....

Oh...we FINALLY got a pump for our pond and I won't even tell you how long THAT took us . The pond still looks like crap. It's just a plastic pond with a fountain in the middle for now. The landscaping is HOPEFULLY coming in a few weeks. It's been raining every weekend for the past few weeks so we've not been able to get outside and do much.

Speaking of ponds...

There was a HUGE bullfrog that came out of the pond and ended up under our back deck. My son thought it would be funny to scare me with him, since he knows I don't like frogs. The whole family conspired against me in this frog deal. My son had to go around the house trying to catch the frog so while he did that, Hubby went inside the house pretending to get something and when he came out, he locked the back door. As soon as I realized what Hubby had done, I started beating on the door for my oldest daughter to let me in. She came to the back door and sided with everyone BUT me. She wouldn't unlock the door and as my son came around the corner of the house, I saw the huge frog in his hands so I made a mad dash around the porch not knowing where the hell I was going...just running.....in circles a couple of times before finally jumping off the porch with my son still behind me. The only place I could think of was the truck so I ran to the truck, jumped in it and locked the door. Once inside, the adrenaline took hold. My hands were shaking and the tears started rolling. I was so humiliated that I CRIED over a FROG and pissed because I threw my newly opened beer on the ground when my son started chasing me

Aside from frogs coming with spring...I'm so ready for the weather to break a stay warm. Spring fever is really starting to get to me now. I'm getting that itchy, antsy feeling deep down inside that makes me feel like I'm going to burst open if I don't get some warm, fresh air soon.

Went to a baby shower over the weekend that I swear had to be the LONGEST damn baby shower in the history of baby showers It took so long, I thought the baby was going to be born before we left.

This baby shower is the first one I've had to buy anything for in a very, very long time. When I went shopping for this baby, I was surprised by the stuff that they have for babies now.. They just didn't have all that cool shit when my kids were babies . Don't worry, I don't care how cool that stuff was, it damn sure didn't make me want anymore babies .

~~~~~~~~~~

That pretty much sums up the past week for me. It's raining here AGAIN and I think I'm feeling a bout of depression coming on. My body is telling me it's lacking SUNSHINE!!!!! Somebody help!!!
