Oh Good Grief... Just GO WITH IT.

Apparently... and this has been pointed out to me. I get myself into odd situations. Adventures, really. They are typically pretty hard to explain. Typically pretty hard to foresee and mostly , and this is key...  mostly they happen daily.  I would be dramatic here... but I already am, so that would be a little much. My point being, I am often involved in the most RANDOM shenanigans.

Today I had to : 1) Clean, 2) Cook 3) Shop (for boring stuff like TRASH BAGS)... (which I forgot, AGAIN) 4) Care for a friends child annnd.... that was it. Simple. BORING. But SIMPLE.  Supposably. It was all a big fat LIE.

I did clean a bit. Kept the chaos from overtaking us. Then I TOTALLY forgot to drop of my childs birthday invitations.. because I'm THAT person. So I had to run to the school... and that's where everything breaks down really.

I went to the school to drop off the invitations. Apparently it was grandparents day. WHO KNEW? Not me....awesome.
I went to lunch... but then I didn't like the menu, so I had to leave the cafe, dragging my friend behind me. I don't "do" fancy and VEGETABLES. Ew.
We then went to a new place that apparently was hosting EVERY auto mechanic between here and Columbus. Interesting. But not in a good way.
I then went to Target.  I found a hat a Target. A can NOT live without it  Turkey hat. WHY? I do NOT know. Other than, if life offers you the opportunity to wear a turkey hat in the middle of the day, then you should BY GOD take that opportunity, because who KNOWS when that will happen again.
I then picked up the kids. Because I love them. Also, I'm a FANTASTIC mother. If being a FANTASTIC mother consists of remembering that you have children waiting for you on the side of the road.
I then got my friends darling kiddo... lumped her in with my other two and proceeded to finish everything that I had started earlier in the day.... and THEN... BAM. No internet.
Seriously, I'm not trying to be dramatic. But I would rather not have WATER, than no internet. Mkay, so maybe that's a tiny bit dramatic, but you get the gist.
So, ........................ I called Customer Service.

After I listend to a LOT of bad "hold music" I got to speak to "Amy". I put it in quotes because I'm VERY sure that was not her name.  Anyways. Hours later, I had a solution. My modem was a piece of sh*t. Swell. Great. Get me a new one.  Then "Amy" informed me that it would be $150... after I stopped laughing I told her NO... (That's good SHOE money right DER!) ..then I got transferred... to AMERICA. Amen.  Anyways, long story short... too LATE.. I got my modem  and I got if for free... but I had to go GET IT. In Newnan. Dumb.

Anyways, my point is. Again.. and this happens a LOT. I have no point. Other than if you are around me, you may get sucked INTO my vortex. I'm SORRY.. ahead of time. You may end up having to wear a Turkey hat. In my world, that's a bonus. Glass Half FULL...Jus Sayin.

P.S. - My apologies to Eryn Bentley for dragging her out of the cafe.
P.P.S. - My apologies to Stephanie Haasenritter if her child had to much candy. She did. I'll just go ahead and tell you.
P.S.S. - My apologies to "Amy"... when I said "MY GOD WOMAN, wouldn't it just be easier if you give me what I want now" may not have translated well. Sorry. Seriously.
P..... - My apologies to whomever went to Target to get a turkey hat. THEY ARE ALL MINE NOW. M'kay.. I'm not reaaaallly sorry about that one.
