My Own Dose of Reality



Thought it would be humorous take a moment and poke a little fun at me and my family. Always good for the souls to stand back and laugh at yourself right?

So an update on getting gas for my car. Well yesterday I ran out almost yet again???? WTF??? Why does this happen all the time now-it’s as if my husband has a vendetta against me or something. So there I am with a light of no gas on…many places to go and distance to cover.... and two gas stations within 20 feet of me.

What do I decide to do? Keep on driving and ignore the gas situation.

I even had the scenario all planned out. I run out of gas close to home at Beauty’s tutor and Hubby brings gas from station to fill up car-or CAA. I predicated I would not run out of gas on highways and therefore should just keep driving.

Then I stopped and thought “God you are an idiot girl!” and I literally forced myself to stop at the station and get the stupid gas. It took me forever to figure it out as Chase was not with me….and finally did and literally swore like a sailor the entire time doing it. Gas in summer is one thing..but in winter? Give me a break!
And just to make sure my husband gets the message. I only put 20$ in. The rest is up to you.

Scenario two is about Chase. Last night was the big test-he went over to my Mom’s for almost 2 hours to “learn” how to swallow a pill and get over the “phobia”. Well he came back somewhat proud. Why?
Because he swallowed a piece of rice

 Overall he felt pretty good about it-although he wished ideally he could have swallowed a pill-he thinks he made “medium” progress. Yup mine and his expectations of ourselves certainly differ don’t they?

So now I am stuck with a kid who needs and wants Concerta-but hooray he can swallow a grain of rice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let’s move onto Beauty. I am thrilled that her new topic of conversation has moved from Justin Beiber to skiing and competitions all day long every minute of every day. Poor you if you do not ski-you are hearing about it every single day. And her new word is “ish” everything.

How are you?

“Ish”

How is your new teacher?

“niceish”

Know what?? Annyoyingish! (but still lovable)

Bear? Well nothing about him (this week anyways)

And that is my dose of reality these days.

Oh ya almost forgot for the second time in a month now my Mother has called my house at 1am and woken me up. My heart pounding out of my chest because I am sure she is dead of being rushed to the ambulance or something tragic….but no..no ..no..no…

She is calling her own cell phone to FIND it. And by error calls my number! Twice.

And I never fall back to sleep. So last night I had a total of a whopping 30 minutes of sleep. So happy she was able to locate her needed cell phone at 1:30amJ
