The Losers~Dishes can wait, life can't. Come sit a spell! Winners should walk away.

[hrh_disney_queen]

Oh my. I've had an interesting 20 minutes.

My satellite internet starts acting up, and I can't do anything online.

So I figure, I'll go look for some batteries while I'm waiting for the satellite to straighten itself out, so I can make sure my keyboard doesn't die at some inoppurtune moment.

I go into the pantry, and of course the batteries aren't where they're supposed to be. So I start rummaging around, find an empty Cheerio's box, hand it to my DS3, and tell him to throw it away.

I spy a loose battery on the pantry floor!! Cool, I'm wondering what the chances are that I can find 3 more runaway batteries.

I start moving stuff around, empty bags that we save for who knows what reason, 40 rolls of toilet paper, ooooooooooooh, looky, runaway battery number 2!!

I find a bag of old Halloween candy (ACK!) somewhere in the back, and HEY! ANOTHER BATTERY!

And then I swear, something hissed at me. Well, I wasn't about to waste any time sharing a small, cramped space with some freaky snake, so I hauled it out of there, grabbing my survival kit before slamming the pantry door shut.

I spent the next three minutes, doing the heeby jeeby dance. You know the kind, where your body involuntarily jumps and jiggles, trying to get the ew-yucky-vibes off?

I look back at the pantry, and decide that the snake can stay there until DH gets home because no way am I trying to pit myself against that nasty hissing creature.

I take my survival kit, and steal the batteries out of there, so now I have 5!! And yes, I know, what am I thinking, what if I need those batteries, but really, it's a survival kit for the jet-ski, with a flashlight/batteries/waterproof matches/some thermal poncho thing to keep you dry and warm, etc.

It's for the jet-ski's, and it's in my pantry. Not really doing me any good if I get stranded on some deserted island, now is it?

So, I come into the office, start taking the old batteries out of the keyboard, and my DS3 comes in and he's freaking out about something being closed. He's extremely animate that I need to come check it out.

I follow him...as he heads out the door, across the deck, and down the stairs.

I ask, "What the heck are you doing?"

"My not doin nuttin. Come on."

I continue to follow him. We walk to the end of the road, where he points to the trash can that got put out yesterday for trash day, and the empty box of cheerio's I had given him earlier. He was trying to get the box into the trash can, but couldn't open the lid.

Oh. My. God. My son took the empty box to the edge of the road all by himself to throw it away. I had meant for him to throw it in the trash can in the kitchen, and I didn't even notice that he went OUTSIDE!! To the ROAD!! By HIMSELF!!

We come back inside, and I have to go to the bathroom. As I'm sitting on the toilet, I happen to notice something.

Something yellow.

In my bathtub.

SOMEONE PEED IN MY TUB!!!!!!!!!

I guarentee it is not my son, so that means that one of our pets is climbing into the bathtub and peeing in there.

I just KNEW this was not going to be a good day.

Sorry in advance for posting such a horribly long post, but I'm Shore, that's what I do.

Can I just borrow a line from maddhatir? I AM PEEING!!!!!

Why oh why did I have to read your thread, Mkrop?

I know that pie lady gets on my nerves, but I had to look anyway.

Pie lady! I think I know who this is.

Hey, you've followed the one and only TRUE rule to being a Loser. We call her the Pie Lady.

It all started on the drive-thru thread.....Ah yes, those were the days.

She basically called every person that used the drive thru for any reason (banking/fast food/coffee) lazy. And that we're eating away the environment by wasting gas and emitting all those toxins in the air while our cars sit there idling.

Well, obviously, we're a bunch of Losers, we use the drive thru as much as possible, so it was Game On at that point.

Oh my.
You loser ladies have been chatty today
I was up at my kids school helping with pictures. Now wait, before you accuse that of being a winner type thing, here is the catch. Free pictures to those who help out I was all over that, and actually it wasn't too bad. But now I have to go to work at my real job

OMG! Shore

 

[It's A Happy Day]

Clam chowder done for dinner - in the crockpot keeping warm and cooling off a yellow cake fresh out of the oven. I just didn't have it in me to make choc. chip cookies from scratch so did a box cake mix instead

I don't wanna go to work tonight Buuuuuttttt, I got my promotion at my day job and start next week M-F 8A-3PM so I cut back on my retail job to 1 night and 1 weekend day If things go smoothly I will quit my retail job in the fall alltogether, but I don't want to leave there till I know I am happy with the day thing.

 

[1Prince2Princesses]

So, Shore... are you telling us that there's still a snake somewhere in your house?

I have a catch in my side after reading that because I was laughing so hard. I thought stuff like that only happened to me.

I wish that was an option for us! We had picture day today as well. But I didn't help out. I went to look for stuff for the easter basket. And I got the older ones each a movie, they both just happen to be movies that I want But the kids like them & will be excited. So it will be a win win.

Need to be cleaning, but I am trying to catch up on all the shows on my DVR it is at 92% full, aghh.

 

[It's A Happy Day]

Since when do they take school pictures 2x a year Do the kids really change all that much in 6 months Both of mine have 2nd pictures at the end of next week. I know we don't have to purchase them but I remember once a year in the fall we got our pictures done and my kids get them 2x - Fall and then Spring. For the price I pay I should dress them up in Christmas attire & Easter attite and leave out the family pictures

My kids are having pictures today too. I was driving by the school earlier and noticed a van and equipment on the front lawn. Then I saw risers in front of their school sign...I don't have any idea why, but I got all choked up..I'm so stupid..I don't cry at normal things, but give me something stupid to cry about and I am all over it...

I'm going to guess that whatever hissed at you in the pantry is the same thing that peed in your tub. Get rid of the hisser and your problem should be solved.

The hisser's the pisser

 

[MNFootballMommy]

With advice like that, you can't go wrong!

Plumber (and his apprentice, both named Jason, go figure) has gone and I have a sparkly new garbage disposal. On the downside, my kitchen now smells like sweaty men and not in a good way...

 

[Mkrop]

DS10 does not have an ear infection YET. Just got back from the Peds and she says there is certainly potential, there is enough fluid there. Oh joy! Taking bets on if he gets sick on Easter Sunday. Remember this is the kid who only gets sick on holidays, weekends and snow days.

And to make it more fun the entire right side of my face hurts, I bet I have a sinus infection brewing, just in time for the ILs to arrive. Once again oh joy!

 

[Thats_for_Shore]

This is the funniest thing I have read in a long, long time. Please tell me that "Daddy left" to go to work or something, so I can laugh at that too...I mean, he didn't LEAVE leave, did he?

Nope, Daddy went with his friend to help his friend pick out a new car.

OMG! Shore

Yeah, laugh it up.

So, Shore... are you telling us that there's still a snake somewhere in your house?

I have a catch in my side after reading that because I was laughing so hard. I thought stuff like that only happened to me.

The hisser is still here. As long as it doesn't come in the office, we'll be fine. However, if it slithers in here, I'm jumping out the window.

I don't think a snake could piss that much!!

The hisser's the pisser

That was pretty funny. Made me laugh at the pisser and the hisser.

Ok just to make sure I have it straight did pie lady just agree w/ you on the funeral thread? If it won't get you points of course!

I dunno, but I just accused her of living in Never Land on the Quandry at Work thread.



Soooooooooooooooo, guess what I did? Since my satelite internet has been acting funny all week, I just called up my provider to get a little tech support.

36 minutes I was on the phone with this lady that spoke English as a second language and had a very strong accent.

Try understanding DMB codes and polorization with someone like that. I don't understand them anyway, but this was nearly impossible.

After all that, sorry, she can't help me. Someone needs to come to my house to realign my dish which will cost me "one 25 dollars." Now I'm trying to figure out if that means $25, or one HUNDRED twenty five dollars. I'm assuming it's the latter.


I just KNEW it was going to be one of these days!!
