Imperfection

Wasn't it Marilyn Monroe who said "Imperfection is beautiful madness is genius and I would rather be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring?" I probably twisted that.. Jesus Obama just needs to put a sock in it, seriously Fox news is plastered with excuses and lack of accountability. Eating pull apart sticky buns in the kitchen sounds like a much more pleasant idea. The pickup and drop off at 3 separate schools is madness and if I wasn't a better person I'd be mixing my OJ with vodka just to deal..there are hundreds of cars like a parking lot backed up in all directions as all 4 grades have their own lines and the lines they arent movin fast, the 15 minute window between bells seems less like a cushion and more like a race, 2 days in I am speeding up and down side streets at lightening speed making u turns and heart racing cursing the 15mph school zones have managed to get everyone to their respective drop off zones on time however we have 2 schools on one campus each with separate start and end times and somehow along the way I screwed up and got the two schools mixed up..hence I was 15 and 20 min late picking 2 of my boys up today which sucked big time..I felt like such an A-Hole , today I became "that mom" the one who's child is left behind and walked to the office who's mother didn't show up on time...I swear the crossing guard was leering at me from across the room, I went over and over in my head how could I have made this mistake? Never mind 2 of the schools are new schools and the times all changed from last year and they weren't updated on the website last week, I don't make mistakes like this..I still feel consumed with guilt..but they forgave me and I am not perfect got to let it go, won't make that mistake again but still being late to pick up your kids mistake or not just sucks. My little man proceeded to yell at me and kick me in the leg while I was holding a hot pizza in my hands shortly thereafter because I wouldn't give him change for the Chinese junk in the machines sitting there in all its leaded glory. As I was about to escape out of the grocery store with hot pizzas a full cart and an angry 5 yr old trying to block my path I realized I was charged for 36 boxes of frikin Gogurts. Seriously? I thought about saying F*ck it but the 24 boxes I was overcharged for equaled out to be $71.00 so there I was at the dreaded customer service trying to explain hey I only bought 12 boxes not 36 which I had to do like 4 times before they would issue a credit. In cases like this they always act as though it is your fault, many people in "customer service" anymore just act like they are doing you a favor and keep you wondering about your probable neurosis. Good times. I love the fact that Al Gore isn't afraid to call bullshit, I for one do believe in global warming much to my husbands dismay. The quitting smoking thing is really touch and go, my anxiety is bad anyways sometimes but this afternoon can you say through the roof.. The day it winded down and things are settled now. The little man is happy again, I apparently needed to be reminded that I am not perfect and life goes on....now to totally change the subject this is what we see on the sidewalk in AZ when we take our evening walks...jealous?
