Dangerous Drivers

I was on the 99 heading South and taking the 58 East off ramp... At the very last moment, someone from 2 lanes to the left decided they also needed that off ramp...  Now we've all seen this a million times and some of us have done it.. Swerved to the right across 2-3 lanes only to clip the dirt that we're not suppose to be on..  But today is was an ENTIRE SEMI TRUCK!!!  Seriously people???  A number of things could have gone wrong with this situation.. starting with the size of the truck, the speed, etc.. not a good idea...    and all right in front of us (me & kids)..  

Access Denied= Poor Customer Service

Here I am at the Hilton Hospital of La Jolla, California-able to get onto the internet and update a blog, but unable to access Facebook. Social Networking is bad when your in the hospital. Someone could get offended. Nurses could sit on their bottoms all day. And Patients would spend hours online updating their friends and families about current health conditions. Stupid patients, have to ruin it for all of us.

Semi-humorous outrage

I got some new fabric so of course I start making some more blankets. Well today I started making one for my brother Johnny. My one brother that semi eats kosher and occasionally goes to the synagogue. Well look what appeared as the design on the blanket. This is what happens when you are a beginner sewer attempting to make new designs with her quilt squares. I wanted to cry but found myself laughing and the whole time I hear my mom's voice in my head saying, "I would expect this from you" so maybe I will just give the blanket to my mom. No I think that I will just burn it or take out all the stitches or.....
Well whatever I am outraged, crying inside but I think after a couple beers I will just be laughing.

Pet insects

Aiden just got out of the bathtub and came to me and said, I swear this is word for word, 

"I hope my mealworm wants some hair smell."  

And the outrageous thing is, I knew exactly what he was talking about.

Stupidness

Why is it soosoooo impossible to find a map of either the bike trail through Bakersfield or a map of the walk way at the Bluffs...  UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!  

I guess I did find a stupid map of the  bike trail, but seriously, why would the city of Bakersfield have a page "talking" about the trail and then not have a map on how to get there..  

By the by, I know where it is and where to go, but this is not my point.. What about those who just moved here and are looking for some exercise...  

Cheese conspiracy

Tillamook ran out of sharp cheddar.  Huh?  For weeks, I kept thinking that there has been someone buying all of my cheese before I could get to the store.  I had to make Macaroni and Cheese with the black cheddar...because Tillamook ran out of the red wrapper cheese, the only staple in this house.  We might run out of toilet paper, but never Tillamook sharp cheddar.  And then I find out via Facebook, via Esther Lee, via Carina, that Tillamook themselves sold out and will have it back on the shelves by July 1.  Isn't it their business to keep a sufficient supply of cheese percolating, or whatever cheese does, so that I can make Macaroni and Cheese the proper way?  And people are worried about swine flu...

State of the schools

We have been told by the superintendent that our class size will go up to 25 next year.  And I suppose we are still going to be expected to teach addition and subtraction with regrouping, fractions (comparing unlike fractions), time (elapsed time and time before the hour), money (making change), multiplication, division, possessive plural nouns, cause and effect, fact and opinion, trustworthiness, respect, fairness, responsibility, citizenship, caring...to seven-year olds. To twenty-five 7-year olds.
