She doesn't get it

not even a little bit. K doesn't have kids of her own, how could she you read the last post about the animals so where would a kid be in all that??? But I'm getting off topic. I take S over to her house mainly because the walk there and back is good exercise and she has plenty of space outside for her to play in. But that's it. I would never go to dinner and leave her with her for a couple of hours that is just out of the question. Especially after yesterday.

A couple of days ago we went to Walmart and she bought a bunch of stuff for S to use at her house, glue, paper, stuff like that. Well when I left they were playing outside. It was a little windy but not as bad as at my house since i leave right at the base of a mt. Fine, everything is fine, so I walk all the way home and get the car and come back for her. I called to tell her that i was on the way so they can clean up whatever they were playing with, you give her a warning. Well I get there and they are coloring and gluing pom poms to paper, it was all very cute.......until i saw that there was a heart drawn on her pants.. IN GLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes that's what I said, in glue. And then something was drawn on her back pocket to. I was trying really hard not to get upset but just because it says it's washable does not mean that you can put tit on anything. I left, with S, and did what I needed to do came home and washed her pants, twice. When I talked to her later online, she asked me about ti and I told her that it finally came out. She got upset because "it says it's washable, that's just like a bait and switch. I'm going to write them a letter and tell them they can't mislabeled and mislead people like that".

me "No K, it's not meant for fabric, and it is washable.... from your hands"

K "Well that's just wrong, they shouldn't do that"

K "the girls and I used body paints on our clothes and skin but, it washed out easily..."

me "because body paint is meant to wash off of just about anything, not the same for glue or crayons"

K "WELL.... they should NOT say washable then!"

I could go on wit the conversation but I think you get the point. How many different ways can I say not to do that? I finally just told her not to do it. It's meant for paper, pom poms and stuff like that. Maybe it's just me but that is just stupid on her part. Kid or not, if I was watching someone else child and they got something on their pants be it crayon, glue, stickers, whatever, I would try to take it off not get made at the company that made it because it didn't wash out.

Ok so K has done it again. She is a big advocate for animals right which is fine but she needs to control it. She already has a pit bull of her own, 2 hairless dogs, and 2 cats. Well of course when you have a male/female cat your bound to get kittens right? right. So now there are 3 cats. Then she got another male kitten that was about 4 weeks old so now there are 4 cats, but wait...it gets better. well the female went in heat again and just had kittens......again!!! So now there are 6 cats in the house along with 2 puppies and a pit bull. Then there is mother, who has a ranch outside of town. She has sheep and dogs (that's where K got the dogs from)and we've been out there quite a few times. Well the herd is pregnant and have been having babies for the past month, since the beginning of December. It's been great for S but....can you tell where I'm going with this? Yes, now she has lambs. The mothers have "abandoned" them so she says. I haven't been there to witness it so I can't say what is going on there. So let's go back to the animal count.
1 Pit Bull
2 Hairless puppies
6 cats
2 lambs
3 fish (yeah sorry about not mentioning that one sooner)

Ok so now that I've given you a little bit of a background let me get to what has happened today. There is a ranch outside of town, I know a lot of ranch's around here, that we've been to this past week. Now I don't know a whole lot about horses, never owned one so what would I know if an animal is underfed? Oh I know maybe because I can see their ribs!!!!!!! Now she's had a horse, that much I know what but what happened with it, I don't know. But here's my thing. We drove by it and she was going on and on about how the horses are just so skinny and the person is doing a horrible job taking care of them and that she couldn't believe that I would go to a place like that. She knew that we had just been there a couple of days ago so why keep going? We walked around the ranch, feed the horses, saw everything that was there.
She didn't hid anything, and was very friendly, the lady at the ranch. She was very nice. There were lost of horses there, about 10, and a bunch of burros to. None of them were really shy, not anymore then I would expect if 3 kids came screaming to the fence, lol. And I told K about this. Told her that none of the animals looked sick, hungry, etc. And she says, well they must have put them away. That pissed me off. I was very tempted to pull the car over, yank her out and make her go look at the horses. Don't tell me what I saw and what is going on. I told her that she really can't judge what other people are doing at their places unless she goes out there. Was I wrong for saying that? I don't think so.

She complains about the neighborhood dog and messes with her 3 dogs, and even gone so far as to jump the fence and mount the female puppy. Don't tell me about it, go say something to the guy (she sees him every morning let the dog out) or call animal control or the cops. Make a complaint. Do something about it but quit complaining to me about it when you don't want to hear what I have to say. It's just dumb.

The Final Countdown

Well it's the final countdown. It's just days before Christmas, a magical time of the year and what am i doing?? Getting sick. That's right I am sick. I took a road trip last week to see family and on the way back I had a car accident and got really shook up. It was just bad freak accident of a thing but it was enough to keep me from driving for much longer that day. I should have been home by Tues but I got home yesterday. But onto happier thoughts.


I still need to buy a few more things, wrap them and put them under the tree, although I'm thinking that I may go over to a friends house and wrap them there that way I don't have to worry about her coming in or getting up while I'm in the living room wrapping. Who knows. I also have 3 bags of clothes that my sister gave me while we were there. I won't have to buy her clothes really this year, but of course I will. Then I have to buy something for the hubby of course. I am just so out of it and I have so much to do, washing all the clothes I just brought back, the clothes from the trip, going grocery shopping, still have to bake for Christmas dinner. I will get something done.

Well to everyone I wish you a merry holidays, plenty of warm nights, enough snow to enjoy, and happy memories all around.

Just some random thoughts Ihad on the road

do grapes, grown for wine, are grown close to the hughway/freeway do they taste different than wines made from gapes further away? (because of the emmissions, etc?)

do people from other states think people from that state drive worse then they do or are they just not aware of what they are doing?

do animals have holidays?

Ok so a friend of mine, if you want to call her that but that's another post, has been complaining to me about everything. She hurt her back at work and hasn't been able to work in about 4 months almost. True they are doing some screwy things with her as far as x-rays, bloodwork, etc. but where does she get off saying that they are not doing their job, trying to tell them that they need to do this and do that? She didn't go to medical school, doesn't know what else they may be looking for. True that may make me naive when it comes to the medical profession but I would like to think that they know what they are doing and are doing it in my best interest.

The other things hse does is tell me whatever the topic, that I'm wrong. From what happened to my husband's friends dog to what the DES is doing with her application for food stamps/medical insurance. She doesn't know Chet, his dog, or what happened in the mountains so it's not her place to speak about it. She can tell me whatever she wants and it's just her opinion but the way that she says everything is not coming across right. Why bitch about all of this stuff and then still do it? What is the point?? It doesn no one any good and is really annoying.

I hate to say it but she is working on my last nerves. SHe calls me at least 3 times a day just to bitch about stuff but doesn't listen to anything I say to her about it so why call me? Then there are times when I don't want to talk to her and don't answer the phone so she comes over!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why does it not come thru that I don't want to tal to you right now, just leave a message and I'll call you when I want to talk?? Besides when we are over there most of the time she is talking to someone else on the phone and isn't paying attention to us which is why I won't leave my daughter over there for very long.

So things ae back to normal for me I guess, if you consider that I'm running around all day like a crazy person, i have no real friends that have nothing to do wiht my child and the one person that I spend time without my child talks to me like I'm stupid. True if I really felt that way I wouls say something but it's hard to get a word in edgewise with her. I don't really talk to her but let her do all of the talking, since she doesn't really let anyone else talk.

I also found out that I have a skunk living under my house, joy of joys

stupid bitch

Stupid bitch!!!! I had a customer tonight who didn't want to put some baby clothes on the belt because they are for a newborn, which is fine lots of people do that because the belt is "dirty". I have no problem with that, it's the way she said that.

"Can you scan these because I don't want you to touch them, they're for a newborn"

Can I reach across the counter and slap the shit out of you? That was just rude. So I scanned them. Then when I told her the total she dropped the money in my hand and took her change like I was dirty or something. But yet she wanted to put them in the bag. That's just rude. If she is so worried about the dirt on my hands did she even stop to think bout all the other people who have touched it? From when it was getting cut it to the people who put the labels on it, to the people who packed it, to the people who unpacked it and then all the other customers who may have touched/sneezed/spit/etc on it. I am the last person she needs to worry about. Besides she needs to wash it anyways.
