Is That Light?

I'm starting to see some light at the end of this tunnel I call school...I'll be back when I reach it! 3 finals down, 4 to go!

Slacker...or Not

It has been brought to my attention that I am a blog slacker! But, do not be fooled...I have not been slacking in any other department of my life! School is INSANE...and I mean it! I would NEVER EVER EVER suggest to anyone, not even my biggest enemy, to take 21 hours in a single semester! I mean, I'm glad I'll be able to graduate next December because of it, but it's self torture. On top of all the school I have planned two baby showers, had C's drill team practice and games, A's girl scouts, Hubs work promotion and change of work schedule (you would think him changing work schedules wasn't a big deal...but it's huge since we plan our whole life around his 2 day work weeks), my pregnant BFF and sister, swine flu kids, and making sure all my ducks are in a row for internship next semester. Someone, please...send me a vacation!

Sing Something in September or November

Me: "What'd you do in girl scouts today?"

Youngest Daughter: "Oh, nothing really."

Me: "Really? You guys just sat there?"

YD: "Well, no. I colored three pictures and we talked."

Me: "Talked about what?"

YD: "I need a violet or some color shirt because we're going to sing something somewhere in September."

Me: "Sing something in September? Hmmm...September is really far away...are you sure it's not November?"

YD: "Yeah, I don't really know..."

Me: "Um, did you listen to anything they said!?"

YD: ::talking to her sister now:: "Hey C, you know what we did today??"

I give up...

Anyone else think this is too harsh for an elementary science lab? I mean...it's true and all...

I wouldn't change a thing about our wedding...everything went perfect! The only thing I wish is that it would have lasted longer!! Happy Anniversary Baby!! I love you!!

Crossing Guards are Exempt

Background Info:

"A new state law will prohibit the use of wireless communication devices while operating a vehicle in a school zone. Violators must pay a fine of up to $200 per violation.

House Bill 55 is set to take effect on September 1, and is intended to promote the safety of students.

A few facts about the law:

Provisions under the law will allow drivers to use cell phones in school zones with a hands-free device or when their vehicle is stopped.

School bus drivers will be affected, too.

The law is an amendment of the Texas Transportation Code, section 545.425.

An additional exception is provided in emergency situations, when a driver needs to use a cell phone in a school zone to contact police, fire, or emergency medical personnel."

Ok, I get it...they want us off our cell phone while in a school zone...fine...my sister got a ticket for this very thing the 3rd day it went into effect...except she was on SPEAKER PHONE...guess that isn't hands free?! Anyway...today I was driving home and I see a CROSSING GUARD on her cell phone...sooo are the people who cross the children across busy streets exempt from this law?! Pretty sure if she were crossing my children I'd want her full attention....just saying!

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Oh, my dear readers (all two of you) I hate to break the news to you this way but I didn't know how else to do it......the time has come for me to end my beloved relationship with....Amazon. I know I've talked about my love of Amazon on here before and I was madly in love with their "one click shopping" feature...but never again will I click that sweet little yellow button. Shall I explain?

I lost faith in Amazon all because of ONE person. I know, I'm being a little hard on them but I'm THAT mad about it. I've been selling Hubs' used video games and my old textbooks on Amazon for quite some time...I have a perfect 5 star rating as a seller and I was proud of that. It's not often that you see a seller who has perfect feedback. Anyhow, about a month ago I sold one of hubby's PS3 games to a person we'll just call "B"...of course that "B" means nothing ;)...a week later I get an email from "B" saying they got a PSP game from me when they ordered a PS3 game. Umm, no! We don't own a PSP...now had they gotten the wrong PS3 or even a Wii game I could MAYBE understand....because we do have many games and I normally ship a lot out at a time...but no, they said a PSP game...this immediately threw up a red flag to me...I clicked over to their storefront and their feedback was HORRIBLE...many people complaining about them as a buyer and a seller....awesome. I emailed them back and tell them there is NO WAY, for one we don't own a PSP and for two...NO...I didn't send the wrong game. They argued back and forth...finally I said just send my game back and I'll refund your money...they said "ok, ill send it back tomorrow." Well three weeks later I got the game.......the WRONG game...it's a PSP game. I emailed them and said I got the game but it's not mine and I will not be refunding their money but will gladly ship the PSP game back to them because it's not mine. THEY FLIPPED...emailed me calling me a liar and saying they would report me to Amazon and blah blah....ladies....if you want to ever piss me off and never be my friend again...call me a liar. I may be many things but I am NOT a liar. That word really ticks my timer. I couldn't even respond to them because I was that mad. I get an email from Amazon saying someone is disputing my sale and blah blah blah....so anyway, this "B" person left me HORRIBLE feedback and basically called me a liar on a public website. They are requesting I refund them immediately, I'm not going to!! And I won't...Amazon will have to debit my credit card themselves...I will NOT click on that "refund" button for this "B" person....will not I say! I am currently disputing the claim with Amazon and depending their decision...we may or may not attend counseling to work on our relationship but as of right now....we're done! All because of one person! All because someone is trying to rip me off...IF Amazon takes the money out of my account I will be out a PS3 game AND $47 bucks!! Oh sweet Amazon, don't do it!
