It's one of those mornings. My daughter got scared during the night, crawled into bed with my wife and I and then....



Several bruises and a couple of restless hours, I give in and go down and sleep in her bed. Half an hour later, one of our cats jumps on my head, causing me to shoot straight out of bed while simultaneously shouting a profanity. That cat's quick ability to assess the situation and get the hell out of the room likely saved its life.

I managed about another half hour sleep before a loud noise wakes me up. A shovel in my garage fell down (thankfully did not scratch a car). I get the girls up and start my normal routine. While I'm all lathered up to shave, my daughter yells for me. She spilled her milk all over her homework, table and floor. My wife is in the shower of course so I clean that mess up.

By that time, it's time to go so I eschew shaving, get dressed and rush out the door. On the way to work, I manage to spill tea on my shirt...white shirt. I luckily had my gym bag in the car, so I knew I had an extra shirt. I get to work and the extra shirt is a really wrinkled t-shirt of a gym that's been out of business for 5 years.

So now I am unshaven, wearing dress pants with a wrinkled t-shirt and I have enormous bags under my eyes.

I could pass as homeless.

If it helps any, your tale of compounded woes just put a big smile on my face. :)

hahahaha

so the lovely thing from yesterday where we are told that our computers can't handle their program and that's why the install keeps failing. I finally, finally get an answer on what specs we need after getting the runaround on why I don't need to consider something we are considering.

My computer exceeds all of their specs. Hahahahahaha.

And by "haha", I mean "I can't say what I actually feel right now".

It's about the time where you are biting on a pen to keep from saying all the nasties running through your brain, right?
 
How does a person get to 63 years of age while raising 3 children and not know how to cook (except 'cooking' from a box, can, or packet?). How is that possible? Also....the "buttery spread" that tastes like butter? Know what else tastes like butter? F***ing BUTTER!"

My eldest son has similar issues when he sleeps in my bed. He's a thrasher. Dude will literally end up upside down if he has room to turn.

I usually try to calm him down and get him to go back to sleep in his bed for that reason.

Howdy, stranger!
I hope your absence from us indicates a blossoming social life down there! :)

Yeah - fan bases can be pretty delusional at times.

It most certainly does! I've been getting in a good mix of dating, nights out with my coworkers and nights out on my own for concerts and comedy clubs.

Think of all the lame excuses hawk fans use for losing to ISU. Exchange hawk fans with gator fans. Exchange losing to ISU with a murder conviction. Its everything from his upbringing to his celebrity status. No one wants to admit that just MAYBE, the guy is a murderous thug and not a victim of circumstance.

Let's just claim this national profanity day, sounds like there is plenty going around. I'm sure hubby had a few choice words after I informed him our taxes are under review still. No way he could be in town for a signature by 5pm tonight. Anyone know a good tax place in Ames? Because we are done with ours. This is the second time they have had to file an extension. He has all our info, we aren't that complicated. We pay you to do it for a reason. #endtaxdayrant

I can't believe you could wait this long. I've already gotten, and spent my tax return. I filed in February.

I wouldn't be shocked if they've lost your paperwork.

they sound like bad tax people.


I bet Pantsy would hook you up for the small price of a baked delicious item and marriage.

Also, why does it have to be by 5pm tonight? Do your tax people seriously close at 5 on April 15th?

I would have filed sooner but you need to have your birth certificate WITH embossed seal, un-laminated social security card, paper copies of utility bills AND the blood of your first born to declare residency and get a license in Florida.

I think I would be in complete meltdown mode if I hired a tax prep biz and they failed this badly.

Not trying to be a smart-*** but if your stuff isn't complicated and you have all of the stuff together why don't you just do it yourself? Granted, I am just a wage slave with forms that are no more complicated than 1040 and Scheds A, B, and D. 90% of the complicated stuff doesn't even apply to most folks I know.

I see a few possibilities (and I also see the annoying part of it too):

A. Is it a generational issue--"These boxes make supper faster/easier everyone is doing it"
B. Feminist issue-- "Don't worry about meals these boxes will make it easy to meals AND you can work"
C. Nature/Nurture issue--"My mom didn't cook fresh so I don't"
D. Never taught/Learned-- "I have no idea what 1T 1tsp or 1c means and I don't want to ask"
D Just awful cook
E. Lazy?

I hate washing dishes, but I do prefer making lasagna (Had it last night) than buying frozen. I do have to admit that when I was first married I fell into a routine of easy meals........six months in my spouse (Very very nicely) said, "Did you know that you have been making the same 10 or so meals?" I was horrified. Since then I have learned what spices we like and have a nice collection of cook books and now Healthier food ones.
