Feelings...

This pretty much describes the feelings I have towards numerous people today...


That is all for this morning.

Toodles!

Put me out to pasture

Learned this morning...

1- I am too old to go down the 40ft water slide
2- I am too out of shape
3- I need to actually use my jogging stroller for jogging


Some of our most favorite-ist (yea, its a word...or should be) people hosted a party for their son's big day.  They rented one of those massive inflatable water slides and Caroline had a blast the entire party sliding down that thing at mach1.  Well, when you rent one, you get it for the entire weekend.  So, we (mainly Jay did the inviting) were invited back Sunday to cook out and use the slide.  This time (since it is just us) I bring out the old swimsuit and plan on sliding with Caroline.  O...M...G!  First, that thing was pretty high.  Second, I know the bigger one is, the faster they go, but holy %^&%! I shot down that thing like a bullet and am surprised my big arse didn't bust through the bottom pool/retaining pond/limb collector.  WOOHOO- the first one was done and I had to go again.  Feeling like a 10 year old (while looking like an 80 year old) I went back over and over (and over...) for my thrills.  The last time I went down I must have (as my non-limber body contorted in ways it never has) slid by - and against- the velcro union that holds together certain pieces of the slide...yep, burned the snot out of my wrist.  Not highlighting that I was wussing out, I also realized I was out of breath and needed to end the embarassment.  I dried off and enjoyed the rest of the time eating, watching the kids and laughing with the cool peeps.

Our mattress sucks, but I woke up this morning hurting like no other and nope, it wasn't that lumpy old serta who was resposible for the pain.  Yes--it was all of my sliding!  I know there have to be bruises working their way up to the surface of my skin, but damn...I am feeling it.  I am taking Wonder Dog out for walks starting...ok, probably not tonight (it is raining), but tomorrow and am going to do something about this.  I have little ones and I am not going to be the mom who cannot climb the slide, jump in the bouncy house, nor kick-ass at any other kid activity- I do them now, but I do not want to be sore for two days afterwards anymore.

So, it took a 40ft waterslide to kick start my fitness-awareness-changes-to -my-current-slacker-ways.

Woohoo!

Thank you TLC, the end is near....

Apparently, the end is near. Last night, I found myself sitting in the big chair watching Honey Boo Boo on TLC and realizing that I have lost valued time in my life. Holy freaking h%ll!  It was an hour of my life that I will never get back, but it was one that was very enlightening and made me ask myself a few questions.  Questions, of course, that I would like to share with all.

1- What the %^&@ is wrong with TLC?  Didn't it use to stand for the 'learning' channel?

2- Why did these %^&%ers have to be from Georgia?

3- How close can one's house get to the actual train track?

4- Did anyone else know they have junk food auctions?

5- If yes, where the hell are they located besides boondock, GA, USA?

6- Why can't there be fruit and vegetable auctions?  Where are those jokers held?

7-  Who the hell is Miss Muricka (murrr- reee- ka) as Honey/Papa Bear pointed out?

8- Did the law not do the math on these peoples ages?  Kids; 17 (and on her third trimester of her pregnancy), 15, 12, 6....Mom 32.... Dad, 40. So, Mom had first child at 15 when dad was...what the &^*#... 23?  



In addition to the questions that I had, I also had a few thoughts and items I would like to share and point out. 

- There was a fabulously placed Dale Earnhart, Sr. photo on the shelves with all of the excessive coupon shopping 'scores' are kept.  Point for the crew keeping it in the shot, loss of point for Dale, Sr.

- That was not a teacup pig.  That bastard is going to be full-sized like our 'little' potbellied beast that became the size of a small foreign car.

- The etiquette coach must have been paid a shitload of cash to do a cameo on this show.

- These people are getting PAID to do this show.

- I will NEVER have a large barrel o' cheese balls in my home or near my children.  If I end pu somewhere that a barrel is present, we shall leave.

- These people are getting PAID to do this show.

- If you speak English, yet have to have subtitles posted for EVERYTHING you say, you should not get your own show nor be paid to do so.

- There are producers getting PAID for this show.

- The Duggars look %^#$ing sane compared to this freak show.

- These people are getting PAID to do this show.

- TLC is a bunch of biggoted a-holes as they worked  (ok, they had some great material) to showcase GA as a backwards ass, bottom of the gene-pool, state.

So, I think I have to sum it up with an 'F-you', TLC.  What used to be the "learning" channel, is now officially the "lowest" point channel. You (TLC) are only holding on by a shred due to What Not To Wear and Say 'Yes' To The Dress.   I think Stacy and Clinton need to flee for their saftey!
