OK, I have a vent about the garbage truck. Why did they wait until school was getting out to come pick up today? We have narrow streets and as I've mentioned before we live in an area where almost all kids walk...like probably 500 out of the 800 that are at the school. It just seems like they would have planned it better. Honestly, this is the first time I've noticed it happened at this time, maybe they're still in summer mode. Anyway, really hoping DD makes it home without having to dodge the truck.

Next and this one is pretty lame...but I sent DH a text asking him to pick up a very specific item from WF {Whole Foods} and he thought I meant our other store that starts with a W, but is only one word. Umm...what did you think the F was for? Have we ever bought those chicken cutlets from there? No. Ugh. He did offer to go back to get the at Whole Foods, but it is like 15 minutes in the other direction that he had just come from, so I couldn't make him do it. Oh well, he is a sweet guy for offering to go back, but dude...think next time!!

Today has just been awesomely craptastic.

One of the side diamonds fell out of my engagement ring.

My dog needs his anal glands drained and has leaked fluid on my carpet, and it stinks to high heaven.

I got pulled over by a cop for "texting" (my phone wasn't even out! and a texting violation gets you 5 points here, plus a massive fine). He ended up giving me a ticket because I handed him my expired insurance card instead of the current one, and when I showed him I gave him the wrong card, he told me "oh well. I can't void the ticket. You need to go to traffic court on the date on the ticket to get it cleared."

Grrrrr argh.

Well, I now feel like I have nothing to complain about...............

DD has been getting up at 7 lately which was a welcome change from 5:30. DH apparently forgot where our bedroom door is and walked smack into it this morning, waking her up at 5:30 and she wouldn't go back to sleep. Threw out whole day off. I'm still cranky at him.

AF arrived today, first one since having DD. Bleh.

DS' preschool orientation is tomorrow from 12:30 to 1:30...a.k.a. lunch and naptime.

Did he give you a ticket for the expired insurance? Unfortunately they really can't void tickets once they're in the system but you can definitely contest that ticket in traffic court and it will be dismissed.

Yeah, but he could have said "this card is expired" before just writing a ticket.

Yes - the violation on the ticket is for being "uninsured."

I think I'm more annoyed that I have to go to court than anything else. It's not something I can appeal/plead not guilty to with proof on insurance by mail, but it's perfectly fine to mail them proof of insurance/upload an insurance card to their website if they send you a notice in the mail if they think your insured is expired.

And won't you still have to pay court costs? You do here, and that's like $185. Suuucks.

At DD's doctors a Point net they told us they are setting aside our ASD diagnosis but not discrediting it. Wtf does that mean. They then said they believe DD has ASAD and along with the gifted code may mean ASD doesn't fit. I am now in the dark on what this means.

You all must have super considerate cops where you live. To he fair, it isn't his fault that she gave him the wrong insurance card.

In my state they run it through the computer system. I was pulled over at a random seatbelt/alcohol check once and, for whatever reason, didn't have my insurance in the car. They just pulled it by my name in the insurance system and verified I was covered. I never thought OK would be the technologically advanced state on anything!

Edit: I woke up to find DS1 and his room covered in diarrhea. Barf.

So it was her trying to kill y'all? Hmmm...

I had a much needed date last night. I mixed drinks: margarita, then beer, then wine. I have my first hangover in two years and it's awful. It's 8 p.m. and I still feel like crap. Today was a really rough day and I can't blame anyone but myself.

Is there a reason you can't mix alcohols? I've always heard you shouldn't and I know the one time my H did we all thought he was going to die, haha. But wonder why it makes you sick?

Is it because you're obviously drinking a lot to be mixing that much? Or is it the actual mixture of alcohols?

It's the actual mixture. "Liquor before beer and you're in the clear. Beer before liquor, never been sicker."

ETA: I don't know why. But it has proven true. haha.

Is it too late to join in?

Tuesday night some vandals drove around town shooting out car/building windows. (With a bbgun) They hit over 50 cars plus shot out windows at the high school and low income preK building. My rear window was totally shattered.

Our AC hasn't been installed yet and I'm stuck at home all day without a car, though it should be done tonight. Also we all have colds and did I mention it's hot?

I wouldn't call shooting out windows with a gun "vandalism." What would have happened if they hit someone? And where on earth do you live that this kind of stuff happens?!

It was a BBgun...I should have clarified. I live in the rural midwest.

ETA: My neighborhood is actually pretty safe. I live very close to a hospital and it's well lit. There are always cops driving by. The majority of the incidents occurred a couple of blocks over. We figure they did my car first and realized it was a bad spot for vandalism and moved on a few blocks over.

It was the stress of watching that bear fight.
