Florida's Wonderful System

Well, I start college this week. First day of class is on Friday.. I have known about this week for awhile know but decided only Sat. that I still did not know where my son was going to be while I was at school. ( that so should be the other way around).. I had called for a listing of Home Day Cares thinking that it would be a better environment for my son. ( easier for me to deal with if Im dropping him off at a house rather then a school). So I go to my first home, I pull into the drive way and my first thought is 'this women has NO idea how to take care of her home'. Im by no means a snob, but...well, maybe a little, but presentation is everything. So I go to the door, I knock and it takes a few mins for her to get to the door.(should be a good thing if she is with children) She answers, I introduce my self and she lets me in the door. What do I see next, @ giant reptile cages with huge ass fucking pythons! I AM SO NOT A SNAKE PERSON. I ask, the lady, we'll call her Big Bertha, (lol) if these cages are locked. She replies that she will put up a gate when new children come until, and I quote "they learn not to touch". Now, I have been telling my son not to touch certains things for awhile, he hasn't caught on yet. Great. Now I beging to notice the SMELL. Like a mix of animal with some sort of fresh, or flower smell also. Turns out she had 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 snakes, and a few other little cages I didn't ask about. At this point all I can think is, no way in hell, no way in hell, no way in hell. After being there for a few mins I put my son, who by this point is wiggling in my arms to see the other children, down on the floor. He immedialtly runs to the big screen TV in the middle of the childrens play area. Big Bertha proceeds to YELL, yes I said YELL, at my son not to touch the tv. He starts crying and crawls between my feet, holding my ankels. Who does this BITCH think she is, yelling like that at my son. I could visualize myself kicking this women in her head. However, I kept my cool and informed her that I had a few other places to see and I would get back intouch with her shortly and I walked very quickly to my car and left. UGGHHH. I didn't want to leave him with strangers in the first place, but I don't want to leave the home with him. Somebody please explain to me how this women got a liscens for a home day care. I just don't understand how she did it. Being in her home sickend me. ughh,,,Florida for ya...

Family

Well, husband came home today. As well as father in law showing up for visit as well. Which wouldn't be such a bad thing if they got along. Which they don't; for very long. Husband didn't approve of the way his father was giving our son a bath. So father in law got his undies in a bunch and has now decided that he is going to leave early. Which there goes my baby sitter for my mothers ( aka notagranny ) party tomorrow. What I don't understand about my husband, is why he can't just pick and choose what and when to piss off his father. I don't seem to have a problem with it when it concerns MY parents. Maybe its just the whole man thing. Who knows. And why do grandparents take things so rough. Im sure they reacted the same way when they started out as parents.
I read this article, that I also read to my mother..Difference from when you were a mother to now when you are a grandmother...

MOTHER SAYS GRANDMOTHER SAYS
Don't talk to me that way... What an exstensive vocab..
No candy for breakfast... Do you want one piece or two...
No running in the house... Lets play tag

Its amazing how they don't seem to remeber when they were starting out as new parents... By the way//My mom is great..

Prince WHO?

I never understood how ordinary life can be. The story book romance and fairy tales never exist. We girls grow up to be women thinking and hoping that we always choose that perfect guy. Unbeknownst to us, it does not exist. That peevishly handsome stranger that saves the day, the best guy friend that turns out to be our lover, the gentlemen that rescue us from ourselves, will never be. We are ordinary. I had hoped that it would happen to me, dreamed it every night and after years of marriage I still dream it to be. But hello, girls, wake the fuck up….For most of us, it’s the guy we met on the corner, at the bar, grocery store, friends house, blind date or the internet. We don’t need to be saved, haven’t been best friends since first grade, and we’re already great people. So, why do the story books do this to us? Give us false dreams and tell us to hold on to them so that when we never find him or it, we settle or take the first one that looks good. It’s always the women who didn’t hold on to that dream that end up with Mr. McDreamy….Well, I vote we get rid of Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty. Don’t pick up any more romance novels. How would our young girls fain then? Will they go through life with out heart ach? Will they end up with the guy of their dreams if their not dreaming of perfection that does not exist? How would this change our young girls?????
