WTF?
There's a reason for the title of this post. Bear with me and read through and let me know what you think.
I decided to drive both girls into school today. Youngestwas up a lot last night, coughing and hacking. Damn you seasonal allergies! ::shaking fist:: Due to that, we all awoke a little behind schedule this morning. By driving them in, even though I had to drive to two different schools for two different homeroom times, it allowed me some extra time in the house.
We left at 750am, made it to Eldest's school with no problems. Did the kisses, the I love yous and the drop-off. Now, it's 8am. Youngestdidn't need to be at school until 845am so I made the executive decision to make a quick detour at Pathmark. Man, I've got to start food shopping at 8am more often. There was hardly anyone in the store besides the employees. Of course, the downside, some of the shelves weren't fully stocked with the items I needed so I foresee another quick trip in the next day or two. Also, the pharmacy was closed. Bummer indeed.
I was rung up, bagged and ready to go at 830am. Not bad. I loaded the car with groceries, one child and I was off! While driving towards Youngest's school, I passed a woman with a child in the back, driving a Ford Escape with those fake bullet holes on the side of the vehicle. Now, I am all up for pimping out your ride but to willingly place bullet holes, oh excuse me, fake bullet holes on the side of your car? What are you telling people? What is your message? That you've been shot at and survived?
"Oooh, don't mess with that mom!"
"Why?"
"She's got fake bullet holes on her car."
"Wow - she must be tough."
Whatever.
So, here I am, at 915 in the morning, having already unpacked and put away groceries, sitting with a cuppa tea, bitching about another parent on my blog.
Yeah, it's good to be me.

Fake bullet holes fall into that catagory holding the 'fake baseball/softball' through the windshield. What's it supposed to mean? Our kids play ball, but they keep fouling out? :-)

Fake bullet holes are funny, how?
I'll all for the right to bear arms, but what the hell is cool or hip about FBH?

Oh gosh Lauren no!
Kate had emailed me and said that the driver was in her 30s! I just think that's wrong, lol.

Yeap... that's definitely too weird.

Who... why... Really, why would one want fake bullet holes?
I'm mostly amazed about having the kids in school, the shopping done and back at the computer by 9:15. In awe, I am.
