My day, gave me a flashing warning sign, first thing this morning. My oldest son Okoye had already left to go meet his bus and I was walking down the stairs to our garage when the doorbell rang. Now understand…its 6:40 in the morning and YES I’m crabby so I flung the door open to see what brat was ringing my doorbell at 6 in dagotdamnmornin’. It would be MY oldest brat.
‘MOM! Lacey JUST woke up!!!
I stopped at the doorway of the garage and looked at him. Waiting for him to continue. He bugged his eyes at me and said ‘She’s going to miss the bus!!’
Now, understand that Okoye’s bus gets him about 7am, swings around and gets her about 7:10. AGAIN, its 6:40am. I bugged my eyes BACK at him (yes childish but hey, its 6:40 in dagotdamnmornin’) and I said ‘and???’ My child. My first born. He looked at me like I was stupid and said ‘can you take her to school!?’ And he was serious.
I said ‘you want me to be late for work (I’m always late but it’s the principal here) so that your girlfriend isn’t late for school?’ ‘MOM! She cant be late.’ I asked where her parents were to which he said at work but Moms works at Red Lobster and dad does construction about an hour and 15 minutes away so yeah, he might be gone but where the heck is Moms? I hold THAT comment back. I DID say ‘she’s got time to get ready’ because my thoughts are ‘get in the shower, clean the naughty bits, wash your hair, get out, brush your teeth, grab some clothes and slap your hair in a ponytail.’ There. Done by 7:08am. Enough time to go outside to the bus stop.
Makes sense doesn’t it?

Kim started a ‘Mission Put Together’ for the month of October and I’m already at a slow start. She posted it on her blog in September so you would think that would have given me plenty of time to get prepared but ummmm no. It sounded really good so I wanted to do it but I wanted to clean my closet out first. Well, during the Debate last night, I did that. And out of a closet full of clothes, I only piled 5 shirts and one skirt away. It’s not that I have cute clothes that deserve to be kept but its because, you know, I might lose 5, 10, 15 or 20 pounds and be able to fit into them once again.

I love peanuts and nuts but they make my teeth feel absolutely horrible! Even I think my mouth feels gross and that’s BAD when the feel of your own teeth make you shutter.

I'm glad I could help. I'll keep the quotes coming.
LMAO! You may as well call her your daughter in law!
Are they fuking yet?
yeah, where was that girl's mom that SHE couldn't take her into school.
Wow school starts really early! I'd be sleeping in my school clothes, so I could just roll out of bed and brush my teeth and go. :-)
Thanks a lot for that Sonrie and Patrice, bit your tongue...no, I refuse to believe that my son thinks about anything other than recycling paper products, saving the earth and the betterment of man kind. Lisa, school starts at 8 and 8:30 for my son's but we live out of the city limits so they have to catch the bus pretty early to get to school.
