goggles? check! swimsuits? check! insanity? check.

to tell or not to tell. THAT is the QUESTION?!

Monday mid-day was delightful. lunch with a couple friends. the kids played fabulously. the conversation was enlightening. and well it was near perfect.

i got home to find my new shoes I'd ordered online last week, had been delivered. FABULOUS!

and then? i got a phone call from Liberty's teacher. she was frozen standing in her classroom in a semi vegetative state. (not really but she wouldn't freaking leave her class) her teacher had somewhere to be. and so she called me. to come to the rescue. and remove my child.

Liberty wouldn't get on the phone to discuss.

(she was having a hard time making a decision on which free crap she was going to have from her teachers stash of crap, because she is purging all of said crap because she is retiring. get what i'm saying? a fit over crap? yeah that's what)

she still wouldn't leave. and i had to go down there to remove her and bring her home. it was 3:15 and 105 outside , and i'm trucking across campus to the way back of the school to get Liberty.

i was nice. i was patient. but i WAS NOT TAKING HER CRAP! she was NOT getting away with this behavior. i wasn't even mean. but i was firm. and i pretty much dragged her to the car. she was wailing and carrying on.

she even tried the whole, hop out of the car while i was trying to get in, thing.

seriously she was pushing every button i have.

EVERY LAST BUTTON!

and IT WAS FREAKING HOT TODAY!

she continued to freak out for a long LONG time afterward about her folder that she hadn't put in her backpack, and she 'needed' .

if she needed it so damn badly she should have put it in her FREAKING BAG before i got there.

it was RETARDED! i was LIVID by the end. and yet i was still nice. calm. collected.

we get home. and i'm so hot i'm willing to don a bathing suit, and haul 6 kids to my mom's community pool.

i was that hot.

we all know i hate putting a swim suit on. (another of those things i've always hated and now have real reason to hate them.)

so i was all set to go.

except people were freaking out about the boys swimsuits. i hadn't purchased some this year yet and they couldn't find their old ones.

(they are in the laundry, so? they keep wearing them in the mud STUPID)

i finally scrounge up 2 swim suits. but they made me promise to go get new ones.

and they wanted to go right then, IMMEDIATELY!

fat chance on that. i was already in my swim suit, and i make it a point not to go places in it.
i flat out refuse. i won't even walk into circle k. even with clothes on over it.

then there was WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH over lack of goggles.

GOGGLES FOR PETE'S SAKE! are you FREAKING KIDDING ME?

can i just say, i was ready to leave them all home and go swimming all by myself.

DAMN IT! I try to have some freaking fun, and this is what i get?

SHEESH!

we finally got everything and everyone gathered. and we headed off. we swam around for 2 hours.

grandma came and chatted.

my sister and her family came for family night.

we swam around, until my pedicure was sufficiently Effed up. it's ruined.I rubbed off the cute checkerboard polish kneeling on the bottom of the pool holding kids. (sounds like something i am doing for my birthday)

finally we bailed. and hit taco bell on the way home for dinner.

I'd had it. it was not my idea of a good afternoon.

so tonight, i did my duty . i went shopping alone. for swimsuits for 2 boys. (FYI: old navy has swimsuits and rash guards for 10 bucks each piece.)

(i have to go back, i forgot to get pierce one, distracted winner that i am.)

then i went and bought 6 pairs of goggles because everyone needs a pair, apparently.(tjmaxx had name brand goggles for cheap)

i perused until , they kicked me outta the store. (i mean they closed)

it was deluxe. we are now all ready for summer.

i found a purse i was drawn to. Lime green trim on zebra stripe print? does that sound like me? it was a great size.

it was cheaper than those i've been attracted to recently. probably because it was canvas.

but still i was drawn to it.

i'll have to think on it. my birthday is coming up.

if i could get it with bright blue? or Fuschia it would be even more me-ish. but the lime was nice.(maybe this calls for a quest for the ideal purse. i could make the rounds of all my fave stores.)

then i came home in a minor wind/rain storm. which was nice. something other than hot is always delightful.

and all of my peeps were still up and out of bed. DANG IT! i stayed out until the store closed.

i hoped everyone would have been in bed. exhausted from swimming. but NOOOOOO they were still up. ARGH!

what the HELL?

long day.

i've had some hellish days here lately. i feel like i'm taking it pretty well. but seriosly WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE! everyone has PMS . or something.

maybe it's because i have been taking things well they are all acting up. until i go postal on the family.
which is standard operating procedure. maybe i just need to lose it. and set things back to the way they should be.

NORMAL? mom is crazy and loses it. kids are nice.
