My New Ride!!

Memorial Day weekend Todd and I decided that we've had it with our non-functioning cars! After putting over $5,000 into our Mazda 626 and my VW beetle was going to need over $1000 of work, we decided to wash our hands of them completely. So we headed down to the Nissan Dealership and we bought two very reliable cars... a 2008 Nissan Altima for Todd and a 2008 Nissan Sentra for me. I can't even tell you how happy I am right now! Call me materialistic if you will, but I'm just happy I have a car that runs and doesn't vibrate sitting in idle. I can go through a drive-thru and not hear the person on the other end tell me "ma'am, you're going to have to drive up, I can't hear you at all!" Yeah, my bug was so loud, no one could hear me order. Rediculous!!

Anyways, I posted up some pics!! Tell me what you think!

Kids favorite place on earth!

Chuck E. Cheese.... Need I say more? The things us parents must endure to make our kids happy!

Both my kids came home Friday afternoon delighted because Breigh was "Character of the Month" and Jepson "Student of the Month", so we thought it would be appropriate to celebrate their achievement. Now, I really do try to stay away from CEC (Todd calls it "Chuck-Chuck's" or "The Rat Place" when we're trying to talk in code around the kids, which always makes me laugh....lol) at all cost what with all the germs that this place breeds and hundreds of screaming children running around like little fiends trying to get as many tickets as possible. It always amazes me at how many tickets you have to get for one measely, piece of crap toy. I could go to the dollar store and get so much more for my money for a little better quality... am I the only who feels this way?... Anyways, the kids did have a great time and I guess that's all that matters right?

How RUDE!!!

So I decided to have lunch with my kids at school the other day and so Todd and I headed over to meet them. After we ate our lunch, the kids recycle their trays and then line up at the door at the other end of the lunch room to go out for recess. Well, Breigh wanted me to walk her to the door and then I was going to kiss her goodbye except I didn't get the chance because as I was walking her through the hallway to the door, a woman stopped me and said in a VERY not nice tone" Excuse me... are you visiting?" I politely replied "yes?" She said "You can't be out there in the hallway, after the kids are done eating you have to go back to the office". I felt like I had been stopped by the lunchroom Nazi!! I said "I was just walking my daughter to the door." The lady then turned to me and rolled her yes at me... AS IF!!! I was so upset.

Why do people have to be SO RUDE?!? I was nice to her, why does she have to inflict her bad mood on me? Sheesh! I will do almost anything for someone who asks me nicely.. I'm just sayin'!
