If you don't believe me scroll back to here, where I was so random that I had to post three days early.
But in the spirit of all things random, feel free to head on over to the Un-Mom.

I have to take my Youngest son to his neuropsych testing tomorrow. The only thing more fun than sitting in the lobby while my son undergoes 6 hours of testing, is having my oldest, sick, in the chair next to me. Oh, what fun...

Update on crazy stroller guy... He's not crazy. Not smart, maybe, but not crazy. Evidently, he lives about a quarter mile from the day care down the street. In the morning he walks (or runs when it's cold), the baby to the day care in the stroller. Then, he returns home with the empty stroller. What I just can't quite figure out is why he just doesn't leave the stroller there until he has to pick her back up in the afternoon. Maybe it's a guy thing. Or, maybe he's got other babies he needs to run up and down the state highway amongst the 55 mph traffic.

They fired two more people at work. I told one of the bosses to hire my brother-in-law. Boss man made some calls, and had his application pushed to the top of the list for our office. I really hope that I just didn't recruit my replacement...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am huge on accountability. Recently, my ex husband's complete lack of accountability is really getting to me. I'm saying this to preempt the post that scheduled later this week. Read or not read, but consider this a heads up that it's coming. It's not nice, but then again, neither is he.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was asked to design another tattoo for someone, because my awesome artistic flash skills are THAT good. Yeah... no. She just has no idea how to explain what she wants, and needs someone to draw it out for her. Story of my life, honey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Almost Hubs and I had a HUGE argument that nearly divided our home last night. Are you ready for it?
"Is Mexico part of North or South America?"
Almost Hubs said South, I said North.
Then Almost Hubs had to admit he was wrong.
And then Hell froze over.

I've noticed lately that I have a lot of Mormon imaginary friends. So, I've been doing some research and was hoping some of my LDS imaginary friends could help me out here 'cuz I'm stuck on something. I get why members may not drink alcohol, but why not coffee or tea? Everything I've read says it's "hot liquids" which I don't really understand, and if the key is "hot" then can you drink ice tea or ice coffee?
These are the questions that plague me my friends...
~~~~~~~~~~~~
We finally picked a color for the bathroom. And when I say "we" I mean "I". I am hoping that if the paint is in the house that almost Hubs will do it.
Kind of like field of dreams...
Because once the paint is done, the sink can go in... and then all the bathroom crap can get out of my kitchen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will leave you with this last little nugget of unmedicated ADD entranced thought....
Finish this sentence for me....
If I was a comic book character I would be able to _______________.
Loved this post. Sometimes we have to get our random thoughts out. So glad crazy stroller guy isn't totally crazy...but that's still pretty nuts. I wouldn't run with my kid along a highway!
ReplyDeleteIf I was a comic book character I would be able to tell when people were lying...I'm tired of being gullible.
Oooo...human lie detector. I like it!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'd like to think stroller guy doesn't have a car and that's why he's doing it. There are side walks though, so it's only like 75% dangerous.
How did you finally figure out the stroller guy thing?
ReplyDeleteThe fact that You and Almost Hubs got in a huge fight about Mexico is really funny. It is part of North America but it's still considered Latin America although the US is obviously not. Also, when you are traveling in Latin America, there are some people who do not like it when you say "I'm American" or soy "Americana." Basically this inclujded all of the Costa Ricans that I went to school with at the University of Costa Rica. But unfortunately, it's really hard to say "Soy estadaunidense" which would be more politcally correct so to make it easy on us, they all called us gringos and gringas (a rather derogatory term used to call people from the US) and because the word gringa was so much easier to say... I called myself that too and even learned not to cringe when doing so. Anyway...
I read a blog written by a woman who's a Mormon and has a deaf husband and is ridiculously funny. Check it out: http://fiverreasonstosmile.blogspot.com/
If I was a comic book character I would be able to disappear.
ReplyDeleteWhich is what I'd like to do alot of the time. ;0)
The Mormon "rule" is hot stimulating liquids, so there's the coffee and tea although Iced.... who knows. I am not LDS
ReplyDeleteWhat would my superpower be? That's an interesting one. Frankly I would love a super bladder so I can freaking sleep ALL night long! Can you tell I am in my 50's?
I have been lying awake at night, thinking about Stroller guy.
ReplyDeleteAnd then I have to get up to pee,too.
50 sucks.
If I were a comic book character, I would be able to visit my artist... who conveniently has a BIG eraser and get about 100 lbs erased.
Hi. Stopping by via Keely. I noticed the name of your blog and had to visit. I have 3 boys (14, 9, and 8) and feel I'm always drowning in testosterone laden drama. This is a great random post. Happy Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteOh I love ex-husband bashing! Count me in!
ReplyDeleteAs for stroller guy, maybe the daycare won't allow him to leave the stroller there?...just a thought. I'm on this kick lately of trying to find all the angles. My friend accused me of being judgemental...hmmmph...
As for my deciphering of man/woman speak, yeah, you think if I was really smart I would figured a way to keep the hell away from the room that was being painted, however, I needed blogging material :) I knew Wayne wouldn't disappoint. He can always be counted on to wag his penis for a cheap laugh.
re: the Mormon thing, it's the caffeine thing that's the 'stimulant' they refer to. Though they've loosened up and let coke/diet coke slide. So I guess I have no idea.
ReplyDeletere: Stroller guy, I used to use the kids bike trailer thing on the back of my bike for hauling groceries home from the grocery store after I dropped them at school. Or maybe someone should just buy him a blow up doll to keep him company on the way home?
If I had a superpower, I'd want to the ability to magically make everything clean with a twitch of my nose! Like Bewitched. Or Mary Poppins.
I think if I saw a guy running with an empty stroller I just might call 911. Good think I don't see him. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteBeing the Mormon that I am, it is the caffeine thing. Really, in my mind, we shouldn't take anything into our bodies that would enslave us to it. Whether it be chocolate and diet coke (guilty of both.) But coffee and tea are specifically mentioned from a prophet and so we stay clear of those. I would be in a whole lot of hurt if we were told choclate was out....gulp!!
Love the randomness and look forward to hearing about your ex-jerk... I mean...you know...
Did you just call me an imaginary friend???? Seiously!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteStef gave a good answer. I'll just add that the whole "hot drinks" thing as written in 1831 and when asked further define "What the heck are hot drinks?" That's when the prophet said specfically tea and coffee. But really, it is about using harmful substances - so anything addictive (even thogh I'M NT addicted to Coke) should be avoided.
Stroller guy cracks me up! Maybe he's worried the stroller will get stolen.
I am a Mormon! Pick me! Pick me!
ReplyDeleteMormons do not drink coffee (iced or hot), nor caffeinated tea (though decaf/herbal tea is fine). The revelation to do so is part of a "your body is a temple and should be cared for like one" that came about in the 1800s. There was no coke/diet coke invented yet, so the advice at the time was to stay away from strong drink (alcohol, coffee, tea) and try to only take healthy things into your body. The diet coke thing is a blurry line that a lot of us Mo's cross because, really, we MUST have something.
Does that help or offer more confusion?
Crap. Should have read other comments. Someone beat me to it already.
ReplyDeleteOk... LOVE the superpowers guys.
ReplyDeleteI know Stroller man is allowed to keep the stroller there, since Youngest attended this day care for two years. I was actually thinking maybe he drops off and the ex wife may pick up? A non-confrontational exchange maybe? I'm going to research this further though just as soon as I get some time off... like in MAY.
And for all my Mormon friends, this clarifies a lot. Thank You. I love learning about other cultures and religions... (it's something I inherited from my grandmother I think.)
This is also why the Mexico thing was so funny. Almost Hubs is very educated in Geography/Politics and I almost died when he said it was in South America. And Yes, technicaly speaking it's Central America, but the CONTINENT is North America.
And I've got to say ladies, that I can be wrong a lot of the time... but I love it WHEN I'M RIGHT!
That's interesting about the caffeine-Mormon thing. I have a Catholic friend who regularly gives up hot beverages for Lent, but perhaps that's just because she really likes them.
ReplyDeleteIf I were a comic book character, I would be way hotter and far less concerned with paying my bills.
