I try to visit your blogs at least once a day. I know that I dont always leave a comment but that does not mean I am not reading or stopping by. I just try to visit as many blogs as I can during the day and also to visit the blogs of everyone in my friend list. If I do not leave a comment, please just know that I was there... :)

My sister had not called me in awhile and it was two days before she was to leave for Oahu. She finally called me and this was the conversation:

Me: "So, are you ready to go home and start your new job?"

Her: "Oh yeah, I haven't talk to you in a while huh?"

Me: (furious inside because this statement means that she has changed her mind)

Her: I decided not to go.

Me: Huh? What did you do about the job?

Her: I told them that I would not be taking it and that I am going to stay here instead.

Me: After all of that, I cant believe that you are choosing to stay. (I was furious and angry. I have put so much energy, time and worry into this and she chooses to stay with him?? This is your CLASSIC battered wife syndrome!!) Aside from being upset for my own convienience, she is insisting on staying in an abusive relationship. She is so blind to see what is going on. I cant do anything else to help her. I told her, "if things go bad, dont call me because I am going to tell you I TOLD YOU SO!!"

My son gets sick every now and then but his fever today is 103! His whole body is like a heat rock and his cheeks are rosey red. He is coughing and throwing up after he coughs.

I took him to the doctor yesterday and had such a hassle getting to see our regular physician. They said , "she leaves at 11:30 but we can squeeze you in at 11." Ok, we get there at 11 and waited until nearly 12 just to see her. Then we only see her for less than 5 min. and leave with no prescription because he only has a viral infection and not a bacterial one. It was a little frustrating but I do not trust any other doctor.

There are things about the road and driving that are just so annoying. You know what I am talking about.. people that drive slow, people that signal but never turn, those that rush past you only to meet you at the red light. Annoying right?

Well the one thing that I find to be the MOST annoying is window sticker on the back of peoples car that tell you how many people are in their family. You mostly see them on the back of family vans that say, Mom, Dad, Judy, Jake, Janice and then the dogs name or the cat. ANNOYING!!! Who the frack cares?? Arent they the least bit concerned that maybe someone will go to the school and say, "hey judy, I am a friend of your mom and she told me to pick you up today?" Hello??

Anyhow, I found the solution to all this annoyance!! A picture speaks a thousand words!!!
