Look people....Its raining out. OH MY DEAR LORD... This simply means that everyone will be driving their walkers to school today. Ok..no biggie. It rains in the fall. Its the same process to drop off any other day, just in the rain.
Its very simple. Get in line, pull around, when its your turn, throw it in park, unlock the doors and shout...'GO,GO,GO,GO! GET OUT...GO!' I do actually do this. Just ask the kids who are carpooling with me and who have in the past. My kids are out of the car in seconds! Yes, I rock!
Now, to the idiot this morning who decided that they needed to park at the curb right in front of the school during drop off and go inside. Are you fucking kidding me. What makes you so damn special! You screwed up the entire drop off because you are a fucking idiot! And if you think putting your hazards on makes it ok....its a parking lot you moron.
I have had to go inside the school during drop off before. It does happen. Guess what I do. I PARK MY FUCKING CAR IN A PARKING SPACE! This is the second time in two weeks some moron has decided they are special. What I find especially annoying is the teachers who are out there to help with? no clue, let these idiots do that.
Hell last week, when someone parked at the curb cause they are so damn
special, a teacher with a ton of stuff loaded on a cart couldn't get
into the school cause they were blocking the sidewalk ramp!!
(Remember when my daughter was in a cast from thigh to toes and in a wheelchair forever...and every day, morning and afternoon, someone would block the damn sidewalk ramp. Still pisses me off!)
Remember the good old days at Oak Knoll. If you got out of you car, BC would actually yell at you! Hey NW...quit smiling and waving and yell at these morons who park at the curb and enter the school!
These are not the only offenders of the school drop off code. I love those who pull up to the curb, get out and help their special snowflake out of the car...on the parking lot side, so they now have to cross between the cars. Two problems where...crossing between cars driven by parents who just want to get the kids out get get the hell out and quite often dont pay attention...and getting out of your damn car!
It screws everything up and slows everything down. Unless your child is special needs, they should be able to get out of the damn car all by themselves!
Granted, there will be times that a child needs help. Especially on project day. I dont mind that at all. Poster boards, diorama's, etc...they need help with that. You need to get out to hand it to them, no problem. HUG KISS AND WAVE AT HOME.
School drop off should be treated like a pit stop at the Indy 500. You pull up, doors open, kids fly out, doors close and you take off. Its my goal to beat the 5 second unload this year, and with only two kids, it should be a cinch! If you have to get out, think of yourself as the lug nut guy..dont wander back to the driver side door, RUN RUN RUN!.
And next time I find a car parked at the curb directly in front of the school during drop off, I am going to block them in and wait for them to come out. Or maybe I'll write a nice little nasty note and put it on their windshield. Hell last week, when someone parked at the curb cause they are so damn special, a teacher with a ton of stuff loaded on a cart couldn't get into the school cause they were blocking the sidewalk ramp!!
Well, probably not...I am to big of a wuss, that is why I hide behind the typewritten word. Of course, it was probably someone I know that parked there this morning or someone who knows who it was and will tell them and will get pissed at me. I DONT CARE! I'M EATING BEN AND JERRYS FOR BREAKFAST...DOES THAT TELL YOU MY MOOD TODAY!
And I'm to bitch to apologize for swearing mom. So sorry for not apologizing

Only a little bitchy here...
Honest, I'm only a little bitchy about this...maybe bitchy is not even the right word....Let me try it this way.....
Dear Old Navy
Let me start out by saying how much I love your store. Wonderful clothing at reasonable prices, and very fashionable. Fashionable in the sense that my kids like shopping there. If I try to take them anywhere else, I get the eye roll and am informed that I have no fashion sense whatsoever. Dramatic emphasis on the 'whatsoever' by the teenage daughter. So, congrats on keeping up or starting the latest and greatest fashion trends.
Now, in the past, I have never been able to look good in your clothes. My fault not yours. I admit that since kids, oh heck, even before having kids, I enjoyed food way to much. Whats not to enjoy when it comes to BACON.
Well, since the fire diet(not recommend for everyone)I have lost 4 sizes! Yes, I look good...not the best yet, but good. And, the best part, I can now wear your clothes! Please note, I am not trying to relive my youth. I had no fashion sense then either. I do not want to be one of those 40 something moms who are trying to look like teenagers. Lets face it, they look ridiculous! And trust me, if I did try to dress like that, I would get major eye rolling from my teenage daughter, more than normal!
I do enjoy the ability to shop in your store and no longer have to shop at Walmart for the cheap crappy jeans. I am not dissing them. I just dont enjoy their jeans. Or at least the jeans that fit me and make me look good. Your jeans make me feel good. I think I look good. My daughter has not looked at me and rolled her eyes at my jeans, so I take that as a good sign. And I don't think I look like a stuffed sausage. God, I HOPE NOT! I think my daughter would tell me.
I love your jeans. I don't buy the skinny ones because I like the ability to breathe and I'm pretty sure my inner organs like staying where they are. If I tried to cram myself into those, I'm pretty sure my spleen would end up north of where it is supposed to be. And I would totally look like a stuffed sausage!
Your stores offer a chart that tries to help me decide my fit. I dont think I'm a 'Rockstar' and I'm not sure what style 'Boyfriend' is, but since I'm married, I skipped that one too. 'Diva', maybe in my own mind but as far as jeans...I have no clue. 'Flirt' is said to fit semi-curvy. I'm not sure what that means, but since I've had three kids and I love Ben and Jerry's, I dont think that one is for me. 'Dreamer' Trims all. I think they call this a dreamer because dream on ladies! If you can actually fit into this, you probably shouldn't. I think people forget, that if you put something on to trim a certain area...well, picture this...take a Brat, and squeeze the bottom part where you would put on jeans. Where does the rest go? UP! MUFFIN TOP! Mine would probably be more like Banana loaf.
'Sweetheart' Curvy. That's the one! Call me curvy...I don't care! I've had three kids and I like food, junk food. I am a woman with sun spots, wrinkles, curves, aches and pains. I am living my life and proud to show it off...well, maybe not all of it :) So I buy three pair!
They are very comfy! and very flattering! (no teenage eye roll) They move well, I can breath, my internal organs are happy, I dont have to lay on the floor and suck in every molecule of oxygen in the room to button or zip! I am happy! wait for it.....except....
Now your store does advertise Woman's Jeans, as does your website. I am a Woman. Yup...I run a house...I have children, pets etc. I am forever bending down, bending over, reaching under etc etc. Like most woman with kids, pets, a house...I am not asking for jeans that go up to my bra line, but I would like to at least get the wash out of the machine without my pants going down....well...we've all seen it. Mom bends over and we get to see it all! Much more entertaining if she's wearing a thong! EWWWW! I know I am not the only woman with this problem. Just look around in any store. Any mom, especially with kids. She bends over to retrieve something or put something back and as soon as she stands back up she's adjusting, looking around hoping that no one saw her underwear. And then, she's hiking her jeans back up where they belong.
If you are selling jeans to woman, please take this into account. We do not sit around all day not moving. We move alot! Not like the commercials, skiing, or sitting in front of a fire, but chasing the cat to keep him from eating string, or wrestling a childs favorite toy from a dog, or on our hands and knees scraping some strange gooey foreign material from the kitchen floor. In the privacy of our own house, its not so horrible. But in public...I have to put items on the bottom of my grocery cart and then retrieve them. I will actually maneuver the cart so that my back is to the items so that I dont have to worry about my butt!
I am sure that I am not the only woman who would like jeans that stay up when we go down. I have enough to do and to worry about especially when out in public. My butt and my jeans are not one of them. Or at least didn't use to be.
Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. My butt and any unfortunate soul that has to witness me bending down in public, thank you
Sincerely
A Woman
