I am a bit upset as I type this, random rage still flowing ...Where to begin. Let's start close to home.
The Girl.
I am speaking with her Friday and I get an "hola". Ah, you speak french darling, isn't that like a "Wee Wee". I don't know this girl. Then I get, "well Daddy, I may not come home." Are you freaking kidding me? I expect this when she is in College, maybe 2nd half of high school...but from an 8 year old??? I was steamed... Yeah, she is sooo homesick. not. She should be. where is that darn ambilical cord, I know we kept it in a jar around here somewhere...
The Boy
So we are eating in the mall, yeah that is my destiny to be a mall rat...and Ian says, "these fries are wicked hot!". Wicked? Great, my little boy says wicked now. Don't know where he got that... That darn kid is wicked nuts.
The Boat
My boat can't be launched from my dads truck with out disconnecting and getting the trailer deeper to float the boat off, then pull the trailer back up. We look like fools doing it, but it seems to be how it goes.
So, ok fine. We tie a rope to the truck and the other end to the trailer. Disconnect and away the boat and trailer roll into the sea. Only now, snap the rope breaks. Can you freaking believe that??? The rope actually broke. So now we figure Neptune is crusing around on my trailer in the dark and murky deep. I hear laughter from passers by at the busy boat launch. I had two words for them and one was "you".
Good news. The trailer's hook that pulls the boat onto it is still hooked to the boat. The bad news, the Melon is swimming. so in I go in the chest-crushing cold water and tie a rope round the hook, dad ties the other end to the truck and out we go. Unbelievable.
The Car.
The Jetta is wicked pissed at us. Didn't want to start. I think it is the battery.
Cars
Went to the Disney store after seeing Cars for the 2nd time. I've never seen any cuter enthusiasm than Ian infront of the mega Cars display... Adorable. Just adorable. He now wants us to call him Lightening as he zooms around the house...
The Mulch
Moved a whole ton of mulch in the rain using the kids little red wagon. Dumb dumb dumb.
The Rum
Mel says hey, you deserve a nice drink. So I get a bottle of rum. Fast forward to sunday morning and me cursing the empty bottle....
Grrrr.
