Friday Fragments

Today I am joining in on Friday Fragments...it's been one of those weeks


I subbed a lot this week...I like money, I need money and I discovered it doesn't grow on a tree in my backyard...On Tuesday I was in a co-taught classroom and was basically told to sit down and shut up by the co-teacher...nobody puts baby in a corner so I turned in my keys and left.

Then I subbed for Spanish II and I was Senora Georgie even though I failed Spanish I took the job- the teacher left worksheets(busy work) in one glorious day I became 'The BEST Sub EVER' the trick, I made a deal with the hellions students-they could sit with their friends and listen to their ipods as long as they did their work-they agreed it was a fair trade...oldest bean is still getting texts about how cool her mom is...Good thing I wasn't 'Fraggin' it could have been a whole nother outcome...

__________________________

We shopped for jewerly,handbags and hair-cessories for oldest beans formal on Sat-we had to buy 2 sets because oldest bean didn't know if she wanted rhinestone-esque jewels or simple black jewelry. She is getting nails and toes done tonight and a spray tan so she doesn't look pasty-I have decided I can no longer afford her.

__________________________

I can not wait till lilest bean NO longer goes to elementary school-the drop off lane Nazis are PSYCHO-because I was in the wrong lane one of them chased my car out of the parking lot screaming at me-I just waved at her-I have since informed lilest bean that she will have to get out at the crosswalk and that I need to borrow her Hannah Montana wig

__________________________

Middle bean has decided to go in search of his real 'Rents...he has declared there is 'no way he is related to us'

__________________________

We have been planning our summer vacation-it has changed 6 times already and will prolly change 10 more times before June...I told ena about our plans and she invited herself to go with us...this should be fun...

__________________________


We are being 'investigated' by the IRS and the whole 'I got people' is a sham! I do not like H&R Block right now.

__________________________

I will be bean-less and hubby-less tonight...there are no words...

  2. The dropoff lanes at schools are definitely like a war zone. I get mad because people don't know how to do it right. Some people will pull up to the door and then sit and have a conversation with their child in the car for a couple of minutes while those of us behind them are waiting for her to leave so that we can be on our way. Rude!! But I would never chase anyone down, honk maybe, but not chase. :-)

  5. All I can say is, anyone who doesn't "do it" right this morning when I drop off Little Guy is going to get it (it's been one of those weeks)

  7. In search of real 'rents. Boy have I heard that before.

    Please don't tell me they get more expensive. I can barely afford the 2 girls now at 7 & 3!!!! I don't even want to think how it will be when they get older!

  8. Being investigated by the IRS? How scary!

  10. LOL! I do not chase moms down, but I have been chased down after honking at a lady holding up the drive through lane... ironically stopped right next to the sign that says "No Parking or Stopping."

  12. Girl, your hair already looks like Hannah Montana... maybe you should go with a Whitney Houston type wig! LOL!

    I'm laughing at Middle Bean's comment about looking for his real family!!

    Good for you for not letting that hag put 'baby in the corner'!

    Glad you survived your week!! I missed you. Enjoy the quietness of your home tonight!

  22. Give those parking lot drop off ladies a little tiny bit of power and they will abuse it...whenever I oops-ed into the wrong lane I'd smile...and wave...and smile...and mutter the worst cuss words I could think up. Made my day a little less aggravating.
    Beanless and hubby-less...I smell a Georgie post!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh, my dear... there ARE words for being beanless and husbandless... words like: peace, quite, joy, rapture!

  24. I got audited by the irs when I was 16 for a waitressing job I had. Who audits a 16 year old? People my backside!

    I laughed out loud about the drop off lane nazi because we have them too. I arrive at school EARLY so I can park and make chickie boy walk up. I can't deal with them.

    Have a great weekend!

  25. I used to love subs like that . . . thanks for dropping by!

  26. Are you sure you guys don't live in Dallas. I too got berated yesterday for being in the wrong pick up line. See, there's one specific one for kindergartners, and then a whole different one for all the other kids. I pick up Oldest, a K, in the older kid line, because the line starts on our side of the neighborhood.

    Should I have to go to the other line, it will take me an extra 10 minutes to pick him up. He can be in my truck in under 10 seconds, yet line Nazi called me out, made me roll down my window, and gave me a lecture like she just caught me smoking in the girls' room.

    Grrrr.

    Enjoy tonight!! Em

  27. Well, I wish I knew that about the money trees. I just dropped a wad on one they were selling at Home Depot. DANG!

    You always manage to make me smile and crack me up...especially when I need it most!

  28. Georgie - you are a breath of fresh air. Good for you for not letting them treat you badly and put you in a corner!!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Jacob tells me all of the time that he's going to have to find new parents. I tell him good luck.
    Love the car line story. You are THAT mom who refuses to follow the rules? I feel like chasing some of them down but have resisted the urge so far! Best to borrow someone else's car for a while.

    ReplyDelete
  30. This post is hilarious!! I was laughing out loud reading each one of those!! Nobody puts baby in the corner...I couldn't stop laughing at that line!!

    The drop-off at my kids' preschool is crazy...I can only imagine what it'll be like when they're in elementary school! I like the idea of wearing the Hannah Montana wig...good thinking!

    ReplyDelete
  31. You are too funny! Gotta love substitute teaching. I'm a teacher and I used to bribe my student's to be quiet by letting them listen to their I-Pods. Best thing ever!

    ReplyDelete
  32. HR Block...they make it sound like they get you more money than you are supposed to get...that's what ticks me off. If I did it, it would be the same amount. This will be THE last year we use "Those People"!

    ReplyDelete
  33. oh my gosh....first timer here!!!! you are way to funny!!!
    enjoyed reading your blog....thanks for making my day!!!!!
    i will stop by again!!!!

  34. I love it! I am one of the drop off Nazi's- I'm always running late and these parents are gettig their kids' instruments out of their TRUNK and BLOCKING me from dumping my kids off- out the damn tub on their laps- think ahead people!

    The H&R Block commercial where the people have one eye freaks me out more than words- the humongous unibrow!!! We used to use them, but I was bothered by watching this little old lady ask me the questions that the computer program was asking- she did nothing!!! So we have done it on our own- Turbo Tax for the last 5 years- just as easy as having her do it, $300 less, and not much difference in returns at all!

  35. damn tuba not tub- tub would be a little heavy!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I was thinking I wanted to start subbing in my babies' school. I am now rethinking the whole thing after reading your "shut up" experience?!?
    The pick up line is nuts! My BFF & I want to put stickers on our back windows that say "Get in line Bitches!" We realize that does NOT line up w/the Word so we are going thru with it ; )
    Enjoy your quiet night. My hubby & I have not seen Fireproof yet. We do have the marriage workbook/dvd series. Let me know if you like it!

  37. Hey! Thanks for visiting my blog. Sorry it was about TV, I had no idea Pam was gonna say something about my blog or Ida had something more interesting on there! Sheesh. Anyway, I can relate to the elementary school parking lot. Ours in a mess too and we have another year and a half of it. Blah. Hopefully I'll survive without killing someone, or rather hopefully everyone else will survive.

  38. OMG i must send you my blonde wig! And we just did the sudit. wasn't pretty. but I can send you my fridge box since I sold my spleen to pay them off. I wish I was alone. I would get drunk and give myself a tattoo.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Too funny about the car line. At Matthew's school, there is a no drop off zone in front of the school. (but everyone does it) I don't mind in the good weather, but not happy in the winter when you have to walk through snowbanks to get to school. It seems to be an issue no matter the school.

    ReplyDelete
  40. The drop off lane at our high school isn't much better! No drop off lane Nazi's, just hundreds of teens learning to drive. Molly has to take the bus most of the time!
    I would have walked out of that classroom too. I hope that rude teacher had a horrible time the rest of the day! How can a "teacher" have no better sense than that?
    Good job on saving the class at the new school, and scoring points at home too~
    I hope you have a restful evening~
    ♥, Lilly

  41. Sounds like a good week overall, and you do sound like the coolest sub ever. :)

  42. I can't afford her....I love it. I have a soon to be 8 year old who will soon be like this. I'm afraid, very afraid.

    ReplyDelete
  43. That's rough about the IRS. I'm sure everything will be fine.

    Vacation planning is fun but at the same time can get crazy with all the choices out there. I'm in the same boat except our funds are a little limited so it's more about where can we go by car?

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love the story about the pact you made in the Spainish class.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Are you REALLY being audited? That's horrible! We've been through that twice, and it ain't no fun!!!

    If you are treated unfairly by them, contact your Congressman or Senator and ask for help.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I am a survivor of not one, not two, but three audits. Don't give an inch, provide everything they ask for, and if possible and you are being audited from another state, go into your local office and ask for your case to be transferred. It only takes a letter to get the case local and then you can talk to someone face to face, it makes all the difference. Good luck!!!!

  47. I tried to leave you comments all weekend and for some reason this little comment box would not come up! block your ears mom - I'm fixin to say a bad word!!

  48. Oh, I remember one thing I was gonna say. Tell middle child - aka Reese - to come on. I'm his real rent. You should stop keepin it a secret.
