I'm Doing That Annoying Blogger Thing Where I Update In Bullets

Okay people, I'm swamped.  Work is crazy busy and I have like 82 million trials in the next 3 months.  And I'm not exaggerating.  82 million.  So I'm giving you the news in bullet form. 

• We got new countertops.  And I bitched and complained about having to clean out the kitchen because I didn't even want them.  When we got a new dishwasher the installers broke our countertop and we had to replace them.  But look, how pretty.

 

Michael walked in and said "I love it! How did you do that?"

• I am outraged that Michael Vick is shopping a reality show.  Are you fucking kidding me?  The man killed puppies
• Remember when Michael had his accident and the preschool's liability insurance was all "we will cover all the bills,"  Well the bills are coming in and guess what?  Not so much.  And remember the whole we are not going to sue thing?  Guess what?  Not so much.
• Michael is 4 years old and adamantly refuses to ride a tricycle.  Some kids his age are ridding bikes without training wheels.  I'm not sure I care, because I never learned how to ride a bike and managed to live a full and happy life.  On the other hand, this kid is too stubborn for his own good.
• I forgot Michael's bookbag when I dropped him off at school.  It normally lives in my car but Doug picked him up yesterday and brought it into the house and that just threw off my entire routine.  When I explained to Michael he didn't have his bag and he could just put his artwork in his cubby he said, "I'm not going to make anything if I don't have my bag."  He doesn't even like this bag.  I carry it in and out of school. He has worn it exactly once.  On the first day of school.  He also informed me he would purposely have a potty accident because he did not have the extra clothes that are normally in his school bag.  I told the school that I am in court today and if he has a potty accident, DO NOT CALL ME.  I DON'T CARE. 
• I have no idea why I even wrote this stupid blog entry.  I wrote for 3 other blogs last night and was thinking, maybe I should write for my own blog, but maybe I should have quit while I was ahead.  I think I need to learn it is okay not to write 5 days a week.  It is better not to post than to post this nonsense.  Delete, publish, delete, publish?  Publish, but only to show off the pretty countertop.

Bullets are not annoying. I do them and I appreciate others who do them because it's efficient.

I'm glad your countertop issue is done. I'm waiting for a check from the people who delivered my fridge and hacked my floor up. Which reminds me I have to call them...

I have no solutions on the bike front. What is the opposite of bike whisperer? Well, that is me. I start out encouraging and end up yelling. My husband teaches them!

- Like the countertops
_ in total agreement about Vick
_ YOur preschool probably messed with the wrong woman...hello, lawyer.
_ Stubborn kids are frustrating. I have two of my own, but I am also glad I will never have to worry about them being swayed by the crowd just because everyone else is doing it.
_My parents sent me to preschool when I was four to try it out (I didn't last long). I intentionally peed my pants so they'd have to come and get me. I can still remember it to this day.
_Sometime random postings are good. :)

I thouht your blog was so funny I laughed out loud. Michael is definitely your child. Love, Mom p.s. the countertops are quite attractive.

OMG...I just have to know - did he make it through the day dry??? Michael and my younger son can NEVER meet. They'll give each other pointers, and that would be BAD.

You are a blogger, not a writer, (so you told me once before) short bullets are necessary and called for sometimes. Nice counters. Let me know if you recommend the place who did them, we are considering the same.

Too funny about the backpack. Yikes! Love the countertops. Can't stand Michael Vick.

Do you feel like your problems have reached a dead end ?

Logan is way more into riding his bike than he ever was his tricycle. Maybe Michael just isn't into the 3 wheeled ride.
