I was
watching a TV show and his alarm was going off at 8am and all I thought was
what a lucky bastard. The pisser was he was tired, you got no kids and you get
to sleep until 8 o’clock, get your ass out of bed!
Why can’t my
phone battery last once I leave the house? Seriously, I drop Teddy off at
school, make one stop and BOOM! 15%.
How can so
many people in this state be waiting for Gossip Girl Season 2 from the library?
I’m number three on the waiting list, I requested it weeks ago.
It doesn’t
matter how long Teddy plays hockey, I don’t ever see myself going to the rink
in open toed shoes, shorts or flip flops.
Why must the
garbage men compact the truck outside my house while I’m watching my shows. Can’t
you do it two houses down?
If one of my
kids yelled in the store the way the kid in the fruit roll up commercial, they
may lose their tongue. Stella pitched a fit over cheese balls in Target once;
it was months before she saw a cheese ball again.
How come
large print books aren’t super thick?
Teddy and
Stella are always going to fight over a game at the library, it doesn’t matter
which one it is.
Some
libraries are much nicer than others.
Walking to
school on garbage day is quite repulsive. But you can find out a lot about your
neighbors by what they have in their recycle bins.
Some parents
hover, I’m the opposite. I let them go and watch from a distance. Kids need to
learn to solve problems on their own. Don’t get me wrong, if a kid is being an
ass I’ll jump in, but park the helicopter already you’re suffocating my kids.
At soccer
they play a tag game and Stella ALWAYS volunteers to be a tagger. If she gets
her sites on you, you can run all you want. She will chase (hunt) you down and
get you.
If baking
with your kids was as easy as the commercials make it look, my kids would be
200 pounds each.
Sounds like you go to the library a lot. I don't even remember the last time I stepped foot in a public library. Not that I am opposed to libraries, just the opposite. I just haven't gone into one in a while. Eventually, I will make it in to Rogers Free Library in Bristol. I haven't been since they expanded it and I hear it is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI am not a helicopter parent either. At least I try not to be. But my son is not 2 yet, so I feel like I always have to be within arms reach right now. But when he is older? No. I deal with too many helicopter parents at work to let myself become one of "them." ;)
I agree with you on the libraries. I have been to one library that was awful and the other was fantastic. and the truck thing- I have that too going on in my neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteAt least your garbage man doesn't come at 4:45am like mine does! I can hear the dang truck all the way down the street. Tuesday mornings are the worst because of it!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny! Yes, random thoughts..... =) Mine is why are there no rest stops on 95 in RI?? They should really have some.
ReplyDeleteLove these!! I still don't understand how in TV shows everyone is dressed and chipper and SITTING DOWN, conversing and having breakfast...Like there is EVER time for that in the morning!
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious! Thank you for making me laugh today. I should write a post like this! :)
