This is seriously a Monday.

Another average grade on my A&P exam. The case study is due in two weeks and two of our group are deadbeat participants (oxymoron). We have a pile of crap to staple together as a “notebook” that really isn’t a notebook as much as it’s a pile of crap stapled together. We’re calling it a notebook even though it is NOT TO BE PUT INTO A NOTEBOOK. It’s silly. Everything that will be stapled together are things the instructor has already seen and graded. We are getting points for being pack rats and stapling the pile of returned papers together and giving them back to her so she can look at them again and give us a grade for stapling them together. WHY BOTHER?
We had a rough kid weekend and this morning’s drive to school consisted of me sharing the wisdom of the world: be nice and the world will be nice to you. Be good and the world will be good to you. Be mean and the world will be mean to you. Be bad and the world will be bad to you. You get the drift. As I was scoring points with the kids, really hooking them in and getting their attention I noticed someone tailgating me so closely I could not see the grill of her car. Really. In a school zone (20mph) where we have a cop stationed outside with a radar gun every morning, this chick is driving like an idiot and weaving in and out trying to find a way to pass me on an impassable street. I put my blinker on in due time so she won’t end up in my trunk as I turn into the school. That’s when she swerves around me and narrowly misses the oncoming car full of kids AND my rear left bumper– the only side of the car not dented. What does a mother full of lessons to teach her children about how to behave to fellow human beings do? HONK THE HORN AND FLIP HER OFF. DUH!
Thank you very much.

That is priceless!
And goes right along with my motto as a mother: “Do as I say, not as I do.”
That’s good mothering, right? Whatever.
Cheers on the link… and I added yours to mine because your blog is a great read. No strings.
Ta!

Sorry, but I had to laugh at that. Sounds like something I’d do!
I’m finding that with school, I’m at the point of being tired of it! I don’t want to study any more!

Hooray…I’m not the only one tired of school…I should be studying for the test I have in the morning…but why do that when I can be surfing the ‘net?!?
And you can add me to the list of mothers who role models road rage for the little ones ;o)
