Back to School

Fuck me

If I would have known the logistics of having 4 kids to get ready for back to school I am unclear as to wether I would have had 4 kids...OF COURSE I wouldn't change anything now and I love and adore them so all you scoffers shut up thats not what I am saying.  Its just no one warned me or explained to me all the appointments and money you need to spend to have healthy, seemingly happy children of various ages!

Ok so in August we have 4 pediatrician well check up appointments and they are all AT LEAST 45 minutes because the doctor is never on  time and each kids has to be asked certain questions and do certain tests. I try and book all 3 young ones the same day in a row so I don't have to take out 3 days of doctor appointments just one day is ruined. So while we are there the girls are madly bored and of course misbehave making me appear to be the LAST adult on earth who should have bred 4 times!  We have THE BEST PEDIATRICIAN if you want contact info email me!

THEN I take the teenager to her appointment but this year she went on her own WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!

Now we are at the dentist portion of August.  Again I insanely book all 4 girls same day so I only have one rotten day of whining and complaining.  Our dentist is awesome and she gets us in and out fast (possibly because she has 5 kids and can relate!).  Dr Dixon's office in Sorrento Valley we see Kim Sauer DDS.

Then 2 have to get ortho dontist appointments and of course they HAD to be at 2 different offices so thats 2 separate days of ortho appointments and trying to NOT take the other 2 little ones on either day posses a babysitting issue.

THEN all 4 have the eye doctor to see......you getting the idea? 4 more appointments.

DONT FORGET that every year at least 2 need papers filled out at the pediatrician and dentists office before school.....

One is entering middle school so I have to go to the school 2 times. Once to pick up papers and fill them out and another day to see school and get her schedule and picture taken.  One is headed to Kindergarten and so I have to enroll her one day and go back another day for Kinder orientation and classroom/teacher visit.  Thats 4 more days in August.

Now comes the expense:  new shoes 1 pair per girls $200+, socks  (haven't bought yet but I imagine for all 4 girls $100), panties ($7 a pair for some $10 a pair for some and $10 for 5 for little ones = $150)....1 new outfit for each girl ($200), 3 backpacks ($130) and 3 new lunch boxes ($60)...that doesn't include ANY school supplies which I will have to purchase after the first week of school.

OH and I left out a $30 co pay for EVERY doctor appointment....$400

TOTAL COST FOR BACK TO SCHOOL for 4 daughters - around $1200

Feel my pain yet?


Kids that made me a card yesterday cause I didn't feel good that calls me the best mom and made me look thin PRICELESS


Wouldn't change a thing I swear its pretty damn cool to see all I CAN do for them!


If you ask me "How many could should I have Erika?" I'd say 5!

So many of us WANT to do the right thing...eat healthier, 

save the earth, waste less, help others....I think a SMALL percent

of US do want to DO good but dont know how or when and feel over whelmed.

If thats you then start by watching TAPPED and NEVER BUY 

ANOTHER plastic disposable water bottle again. Its THAT SIMPLE!

  

Dear Pedestrians

....fuck off.

DO NOT WALK DOWN the middle of the DAMN driveway isle at the grocery store or mall do as you are supposed to and stay to the right!

AND If you are too STUPID or TOO LAZY to cross at the light or stop sign 50 feet further and you must cross the street randomly WAIT until I pass.  Don't you DARE walk out in the middle look at me and then expect me to stop for your fuggly ass.

I DONT CARE IF IN CALIFORNIA the "pedestrian has the right of way" that ONLY counts when you are at an intersection NOT RANDOM street crosses.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE you are ignorant people not paying attention to your environment because you are shallow and stupid and always thinking about yourself in your head.

I am from Philly near the tri-state area and I ~*~ WILL ~*~ run your ass down and make you scoot.

and one more thing PARENTS keep you damn kids to the side when you are walking down isles too and teach them not to dart out.  I wont hit them though I promise.

and JUST wait for my rant about the bad kids at the grocery store and the BAD adults.

PS Vanessa its ok to be  in a bad mood and if anyone takes it soooo personally it ruins their day then screw em they are so self centered to even think its all about them.

Read rEad reAd reaD - relax

I was angry the other day when I arrived home from my brainless part time job at a local grocery store (because I couldn't make the numbers for life insurance agent) and I was bombarded by a 5 year old asking for a popsicle AS I ENTER THE FRONT DOOR...the 7 year old is complaining to me I haven't bought her anything or given her any presents recently, my 11 year old simply wanted to show me something cool on youtube and my 17 yr old who knows she just started jabbering at me....my husband was upstairs it was 1pm and NO one had had lunch.....Needless to say I was pissed.

I start making lunch in my work uniform (not cute) and my husband comes downstairs and tells me he has heard that taking a minute or two for mediation can reset your bad mood......


MAYBE THAT WASNT THE BEST TIME FOR SUCH GOOD ADVICE.

I managed a sarcastic smile and said "thanks honey I bet thats true".

Even the best advice and the most correct advice can be received badly at times.
