This Weekend

Gosh I'm cranky. I don't know why. It's not that time of the month. But I have been real cranky for a few days. Everything is pissing me off. So... I'm trying to redirect my energy and not be so pissy.

Yesterday I was running around so busy all dang day. Then I took Buster (one of the dogs) for a ride with me to go get the kid. We picked up my son from school and picked up one of his friends to come play. As I was driving home I realized that the homecoming parade was gonna start in a half hour. I wanted to be a hermit, so I was busting ass to get home and not let the boys know. Then when almost home I felt guilty, so turned around and drove back up town and we watched the parade. I think the boys got like 2lbs of candy.. I'll admit the high school kids throw candy way better than any floats in the Christmas parade or any other time. You'll be watching the stupid Christmas parade, and some moron throws 2 pieces of candy to a crowd of like 15 kids. Then you leave and all the kids are crying and upset cuz they don't get candy. Also in the Christmas parade the bargain center throws out stuffed animals. Well... they throw one every few feet. So then again, you got some poor kids that are crying and upset. I think all those adults should be lined up and have to personally explain to each child why they aren't special enough to get anything. Dumb asses. But.....in the homecoming parade. These high school kids knew how it worked. Good for them. They threw like 4 or 5 BIG hand fulls of candy to groups of kids. Everyone got a lot....and all the kids had a blast, and no crying.

Then last night my husband was supposed to be home between 4 and 5 in the evening. At 6:45 I was starting to get a little worried. (but since he is on the volunteer fire dept I give him some leeway in case he has a call out) He finally stumbled in after 7. I asked "Where were you" He says "at work" I go "not on a call" He says "nope had to work late" I say " did you forget how to dial a phone?" He says ( very pissy) "I don't have time to call you, I'm busy, just deal" I think that is what triggered me being so dam cranky this weekend. hehehehehe

So this morning he worked for a while. And I got up to do my Avon order up. Just to find out that they billed me for a bunch of stuff they didn't send me. grrrrrrrrrrrr hate it when that happens. So then starts the long process of trying to call them to get it rectified. Now Avon has this thing on their phone that is called the fast talk system. You speak into the phone instead of punching numbers. Now my husband knows this and I always tell him and the kid to be quiet when I call so there are no mistakes. So I call and I have to speak my acct number, that done. I have to say a few more things. Then it will get to a part where I say "specialist" (so I can talk to a human) and get my stuff taken care of. Well, my dork of a husband kept asking me stuff and bugging me about stuff, and I kept holding up one finger for like "wait a minute" and he just kept on. So as I'm speaking through this thing. I finally go "DAMMIT SHUT UP SO I CAN DO THIS" and the stupid phone goes. "please hold while we transfer you to that department." I just died laughing. I really wanted to see what the "dammit shut up so I can do this" department was. But nobody ever came on the phone. So... I had to hang up and try again. Needless to say after holding for 20 minutes, I hung up and e-mailed them (which isn't as effective or accurate with them) but we will see.

After I got so pissy about the Avon. My husband decided to get the boys out of here. (my son and his friend) so in case I blew they wouldn't be casualties of war. hehehehe So... he took them up to Octoberfest in the park. They have lots of motorcycles (harleys) and games, and booths there. So, I'm excited to hear about their day. I'm finally not feeling so cranky. But...I don't know if that will change once everyone gets home. hehehehe

I'm hoping to do some straightening this weekend and put up my October and Halloween decorations. Let you know if I get it all done.
