Seriously?!
You know what? The nicer you are to people, the meaner they will be to you. I’ve already learned that so many times! And it is so true. Once in a blue moon you will get that nice person. But seriously, what is wrong with people these days?!
Maybe I should direct this post toward teenagers, because they are scary and I’m scared for our future. I had this incident happen to me today.
We line in a town home and we all have 1 assigned parking spot and one car garage. All our spots are marked RESERVED with a number. My understanding of a reserved is that it belongs to someone and only THAT person can park there. Period.
Apparently, some people don’t get that. Princess and I were waiting for Daddy and Kapitonas to get home from church. We were standing outside next to our building and waiting for the car to pull in. I see this white cars pulls in, I don’t think anything of it (since there are a lot of people that drive in and out the long drive-way, they are all residents and once in while we get a visitor), then I see this teenage girl is walking out to the street, crosses the street and goes in in the house across. What the heck?! I’m thinking, did she park in one of our spots (by ‘ours’ I mean all the residents that live in these town homes) or maybe in a visitors spot? This is a private property, even the visitors belong to us, and only OUR visitors can park there.
So walk down to the parking are to see if that white car is parked in the visitors. Nope. Then I look at my spot and there it is. That same white car that pulled in a few minutes ago. And that car must belong to that teenage girl that I saw walk across the street to the house. Now mind you, there was plenty of spots in the street, in fact right in front of their house, AND and empty drive-way.
Hubby pulls in a few minutes later and of course now he doesn’t have where to park. He walks over to that house, but no one answers. Now I KNOW someone is there, I SAW that girl walk in the house. Five minutes later I walk down and ring the doorbell for like 15 times. While still outside the door, I hear their home phone is ringing and someone yells out “Just tell then their not home!”. I ring the doorbell a few more times. Nothing. Fine. I walk back and we block the car in. While we still out there, I see a teenage boy walking into that house. So I walk down there and of course the girls (there were 2 in the house) open the door. I tell them that they need to move their car, because they parked on a private property in a RESERVED parking.
The three of them walk back. I tell them again very nicely that this is a private property and that next time we’ll just call the towing company. (I’m thinking to myself that I could have called the towing co, but I was being nice and was trying to get them to move their car and saving them some $$ and hassle). OMG!! You should have seen one of the girls go off at me. I think that was the girl that lives here and the other girl and boy were friends. She was like F this and F that and you fucking bitch. All of this was directed at me. I said excuse me? She says “I have a freedom of speech and I can say whatever I want you fucking bitch!” I seriously couldn’t believe all this. I told her that I could have just called and had someone tow their car. She said she’s going to call and have my car towed (because when hubby parked the car, he was blocking part of her car, so I needed to move my car out the way for them to leave).
I should’ve just left my car there, and should’ve had them call. They would’ve gotten in a big trouble for so many reasons.
I drive my car forward, they back out, and flip me off while driving away. :O
Yup, these are the teenagers these days.
Oh and somewhere there I mentioned that maybe I should just talk to her parents. She didn’t reply to that.
Seriously, if I would’ve done something like that as a teenager, I would be shitting my pants and praying that they don’t tell anything to my parents. I would apologize that I parked there, move my car and drive away. I wouldn’t even think of calling the person names.
That really scares me and makes me wonder if it’s the parents’ fault, or just the way teenagers are these days. And if they are, then it makes me wonder how will my kids be when they are teenagers.
Slacking and TV
So I’ve been totally slacking about bloging. I know, bad me! There are thing I want to share with you all, but there is not enough time in the day. Or not enough uninterrupted time.
At night time, after the kids are in bed I used to spend some time on the computer, just catching up on things. Well now, I spend all that time watching TV. I don’t remember when was the last time I’ve watched that much tv. Not that I watch it much, just about 1-2 hours a day/night. Oh and it doesn’t happen every single night.
All the shows that we watch, we record them. This way we don’t have to watch them when they’re on, we can watch them on our own time. 
Let’s see if I can remember all:
- Monday – Heroes, Worst Week, One Tree Hill
- Tuesday – CIS, 90210, Privileged, Fringe
- Wednesday – Gary Unmarried
- Thursday - Ugly Betty
- Friday – Lipstick Jungle
- Saturday – we usually watch a kids movie as a family, and then at night time catching up on something we missed during the week.
- Sunday – Amazing Race
Then I watch The Ellen DeGeneres Show that is one every day. I think those are all the regulars that I/we watch. Hubby also watches Smallville and The Unit. Then when we do have some more time, we’ll watch one of those cooking shows like Kitchen Nightmares.
I hope I didn’t miss any, although I have a feeling that I did. If I’ll remember some later, I’ll add it.
Now I’m off to try Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins that the kids and I baked this morning. They smell so good! Yum!
Oh and tonight I’ll be going to a mom’s night out! We’ll be meeting at someones house for some snacks, drinks, games and most importantly adult conversations with out kids interruptions. How fun is that?!
Have a good Saturday everyone!
Monday ramblings
Well, nothing new to report here today. The kids were a PIT-you-know-what this morning. And I think that it still has something to do with the stupid time change. They’re waking up a whole our earlier. Princess wakes up at 6 or a little after, and Kapitonas shortly after her. It’s annoying that they don’t go back to sleep, because I can tell they are still sooooo tired and yawning all morning. But if you ask them, they’ll tell you that they’re wide awake. Yeah, right!
They were better in the afternoon, after their naps.
Kapitonas has been really bored lately. He doesn’t tell me that he is, but I can just tell. He’ll just be walking around and look for things he can get into. He loves coloring, water painting, but you can only color so much in one day. So today we went to one of the happiest places on earth – Toys R Us. We wanted to get him another set of Lego’s, as he also loves building things with them, but again, you can only build so much with one set.
If you’re reading this and have a toddler around 4 years of age, what are their favorite things to do? I’m just looking for other ideas to keep him occupied while at home. And since winter is coming, that means rain is coming, that means we’ll be spending more time at home.
Oh, and yes, both kids still have sniffles. Kapitonas is not as bad as Princess is. Poor thing kept wiping her nose all day long. We have one day left until our mini vacation, they need to get better. Now I’m just afraid that we might not be able to go. 
Sunday
Well first of all, we had a really really great time visiting old friends in LA yesterday. It was really fun to talk and catch up on things. Can you believe that we stayed there four hours?! With kids?! And that they were very good. I did bring them some stuff to keep them busy – coloring books and crayons, Leapsters and of course cars.
———————–
Today it was such a nice day. It was a little windy outside, but we ended up spending most of the day inside. We cleaned out our pantry. It really needed to be reorganized as we were not finding things in there, and even found some stuff that we didn’t know we had. Now I know what we have and where exactly everything is. It’s nice!
Kids were having a blast playing all day. They were getting along pretty good, and that is always very important. Kapitonas wanted to make a tent in the middle of the room, so we did that and they were having so much fun with it! The only thing is that they didn’t really eat much today. Maybe it’s because they were playing nicely.
Princess woke up with a little runny nose. And she woke up 6 am. I am really hating this time change. Why do they even bother with changing the times?! It just messes everyone up, especially the kids.
I still hope that the kids don’t get sick and that those runny noses will go away by Wednesday. The kids and I will be going away for a few days for a mini vacation with a friend and her daughter. We will be going to Disneyland! My friend got a 2 bedroom with a kitchen time share for free!! And it is just down the street from Disneyland. You can’t beat that!! So I’m really looking forward to it. Now lets just hope we stay all healthy!
There still is hope
Since we’ll be soon heading out for the day, I thought I’d post something.
Kapitonas is feeling better today, still has a little sniffle here and there, but he is very active and being totally normal healthy boy. Which makes me wonder if he is getting some kind of allergies? It has been windy here the last couple days. Hubby gets allergies once in a while. He always gets itchy watery eyes, runny nose and sneezing when around cats. And once in a while he’ll get it from the wind. So there is a chance that Kapitonas might be starting to get them too. Who knows?! I guess we’ll see.
Even if this turns out to be allergies, I still feel the same way about sick people going to the partys. I just don’t understand this and I don’t think that I ever will.
Anyway…. it is gorgeous out here today. No wind, sunny, and temperature is in low 80s. Perfect if you ask me!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
The shake
Today hasn’t been the best day for me. Mainly due to the fact that Kapitonas is coming down with some type of cold, thanks to other people. And today being a Friday, that means that more then likely I’ll be spending a weekend at home. Yay for me! (kidding)
Hubby went to get dinner and I stayed home with the kids and we did some water painting. They love it!! So Hubby gets home with one of my favorite shakes that are only available during this time of year. Pumpkin shake from Jack in the Box. Oh how I love that shake and it totally made my day! And just FYI, we did not have Jack for dinner. He was just driving by and saw the shake poster in the window and stopped by to get it for me. How sweet was that?!
Lets all do each other a favor
Ok?
Here is the deal:
If you or any of your family members are sick, don’t even bother of going to any event where there will be other people around. I’m talking like birthday party’s, play dates, etc. I understand if you need to go to the store and get groceries. Fine. I totally understand that.
But when you come to a kids b-day party and you know you have a cold, I don’t care how much you wanted to get out of the house and take your kids out (even if they’re not sick), just don’t bother going, please! And you know why?! Because you’re passing all your germs to other people, most importantly kids. And I don’t think there is one single parent out there, that would want their kid to get sick. How would you feel if you were to go to a party, there you discover that there is a person who has a cold, and the next thing you know your kids are getting sick?? yeah, I don’t think you would enjoy that. No one would!! So do us (all healthy us) a favor, and just stay home if you have a freaking cold!!
I know, this is probably one of the meanest post from me ever, but I’m really starting to get sick and tired of people showing up to functions with colds or whatever else they have.
I know I always stay home and not go anywhere, because I don’t want other people to get sick, especially kids. Even if I think that I or my kids might be coming down with something, I’ll keep them away from everyone. Just in case.
Tomorrow we’re supposed to go and visit some friends that we haven’t seen for almost 3 years. We are really looking forward on seeing them and I know they do too. They haven’t even seen my daughter yet (she’s 2). So we’re really excited about it. Except there might be a small problem.
You see, Kapitonas woke up this morning with a runny/stuffy nose. I was hoping that it would be nothing. But unfortunately, as the day went on he got a little fever. Nothing really big, about 99.8. But still. I have a feeling he might be coming down with something big. Lucky me! NOT!!!
So lets all have an agreement, ok? If you’re sick, stay home, and I’ll do the same. With an exception of getting food and some might have to work, because I know some companies don’t give their employees sick days.
The show
Have I told you guys how much I love watching the Ellen DeGeneres show. I love it!! I record every episode so I don’t miss it. Out here the show comes on at 4 pm, so a lot of the times I’m either out or just doing something at home. I record it, so that I can watch it without any interruptions.
Some days I don’t get to watch it at all. But then other days like today, I watched 5 episodes! I know, I’m a dork. I’m a dork who loves Ellen! She is hilarious!
Last episode I watched was from 2 days ago where Cher was on the show. It was so neat to see her on tv and not perform. It was her first time on the show, so she was on for quite a while.
I was just about to type up something else, to make a post a little longer, but decided to wait till tomorrow.
I tried
Agh, there aren’t enough hours in a day! Seriously! I try so hard to sit down all day long and type something up and not be interrupted for 10 minutes. It just never happens. I have a lot of things on my mind that I want to talk about. It’s just that I know they will take a while to write it out, so I’m just waiting for that longer gap I get.
I’m so HAPPY that this whole election thing is over. Seriously!!! No more ads, no more calls.
It cooled off a little here in CA for the last several days, but today it warmed up again. I liked the cooler weather, I missed it. But the warmth felt good today. I guess it has been snowing in some parts if US. Wow! I couldn’t even imagine! Although it would be really, really nice to have a white Christmas.
