mUGHnday (w/ update)

ok.. it's 6:22 on a monday morning. ahhhhh.
i've already survived the morning animal hell, and alarm hell too.
and soulkid got up without me havin to go drag her out of bed... she's even getting ready-- hmmmm. last week she had a really hard time getting up-- and sacrificed precious primping time, to sleep in some.

speaking of kids--school--etc--- why is there school today? isn't it presidents' day? hell when i was a kid-- we got Lincoln , AND Washingtons' Bdays off school--- then they combined the two--cheating kids and government workers out of a whole free day off-- and now--- school? first time i can remember-- but is that my memory? or have they really done away with P- day being a "holiday"??? weird.

anyhow-- i haven't been awake long yet-- so am still a bit fuzzy in the head-- what else is new right-- i'm always fuzzy in the head. but anyhow-- i was trying to think of what my day today might hold.. without my calender... i was thinking.. not much. but then i remembered-- hubby goes to work late today-- so we will be getting our drivers licenses this morning. (with the new address) .

i remember last time i got my license here .. oh man. i do hope it won't be like that. i almost--well could have-- well, ok, wanted to-- hit the woman who was-- supposedly "helping" me. one simple question she should have asked would have saved me an entire day-- and 60 miles on my car. but noooo---- "i am me".. well, this time i KNOW to , before anything.. tell them i have a tx dl! just change the damned address! geesh.
bad part about gettin a license today? i am in a dire need of a haircut again. which i will not have time to take care of before the dl thing. just what i have always loved-- a bad dl pic. i've actually had a couple good ones-- but usually they are right after a haircut. soooo. what's that tell ya?

oh.. pigs ass update--- hubby stayed up til midnight cookin that damn thing. apparently it will be yummmmmay. i sure hope so. he said it was fallin apart-- and that is just how i like meat like that to be. can't wait.

as for last nights dinner-- we ended up at a place called RJ Gators--- by the mall. (but not after a few arguments of where to go)--- always fun-- not.
the food usually is very good there, but last night , for some reason, it just wasn't. was it my bad attitude ... or the fact that the cook that night just sucked? they apparently didn't have too great a night anyhow. as we were sittin there-- the waitress dropped a bowl of salsa right next to our table-- she called for the "bus-boy?" and he didn't come to clean it , so she did-- and you could tell she wasn't happy about that. then later-- we heard her tell a coworker-- "so-and-so-, just broke ALL our glasses!". (btw..we did hear them fall, and knew it was not a good situation back there)
poor girl. i bet she was happy NOT to be the bartender last night...
"oh here's your margarita in a giant plastic coke glass--- filled about a third of the way."
haha.
i really feel bad for the food industry people sometimes. i would never survive as a waitress. i did when i was young-- but not for long.. most my food work, was fast food.. but even then.. it sucks to work with the public...so many people are assholes.
so anyhow-- to make our dinner experience even "better"... the restaurant (i am gonna STOP correcting that word-- i spell it wrong every damn time!-- glad MY spellcheck aint broke)
anyhow-- soulkid was horrified and embarrassed to be with her parents-- at the mall.. well, by the mall. she was afraid someone she knows might see her with us. :))
i do remember those days---- but i must say--- i never did have to worry about my dad wearing carharts out to eat!!! you might be a redneck if.... :))
so anyhow-- we did the best we could with what we had-- and it went ok. the first part was a trainwreck-- but the last part was alright. :))
ahhh maaaan. the joys of parenthood.

so anyhow-- that's about it for yesterday-- and today as well.. for now.
will get back to you on how things roll today--
will catch y'all latah

yes it is definitely mUGHnday
(415 pm)

why couldn't today have been a "holiday"? or at least one i knew about? yes i know that made no sense at all. but it does to me. yes, cuz i am me. ugh. yes ugh. what a day. and it aint even over yet. in fact , it's only just beginning , in a way. holy crap. i can see i shouldn't probably be writing right now.

anyhow-- i have to go to mall hell. in a few. very few. i do not want to. and y'all know it.

we didn't get our drivers licenses today-- cuz even tho there was school today-- we drove all the way to a neighboring town for the DL office-- and guess what? it's a holiday to them! dammit.
so.. we left there-- on a good hair day no less-- bet that won't happen next time. :(( and we went to some fishin place /store i've never been to. found a bunch of good deals on clearance there. we each got a rain suit and i got a t shirt and hat all for next to nuthin-- so that much was good. then we tried to fish for a while-- but it was a little chilly and windy-- i went to the car after about ten minutes, and soulman wasn't far behind me. but this was also after some bad news.... well not "bad".. but just some "stuff".. we had to discuss. just stuff i can't put here. but it's really a pain in my ass.. and it ruined his day-- before him having to go to work. it just sucks. so anyhow-- we came home and i fixed some heartburn-- i mean lunch. yes we both got heartburn. it was frito pie and it was good-- but on an already stressed stomach-- it wasnt a good idea.

so anyhow-- soulkid is home , soulmans at work.. we're goin to the mall.. he'll be here when we get back.. i'm in a shitty mood..he prolly is too. we'll eat pigs ass for dinner... we'll all act like pigs asses... and i will see y'all later.

hope your mUGHnday is goin bettah than ours....
and Jlees
so far
(and i don't think i'm too sure about anyone elses at this point...
i'll check in later on

Sweet holy hell, am I first? I'd better hurry before someone beats me to the punch...hehehe.

License pics never turn out well in my experience, hair cut or not. I always look like I'm about to be incarcerated in the big house when I have my mug shot taken.

I have been hearing about this Presidents Day today and can't believe you get a holiday for the President's b'day. Then I realised we get a day off for the Queen of England's birthday and that's even more outrageous considering she's like 12,000 miles away.

Sorry to hear your dinner was a bust but imagine how good tonight's will be. Mmmmmmm....yummy. Gotta go before someone beats me. Later Soul and have a good day.

Jessica said...

Soulkid has school today?? Well that's just wrong! No school where I work. Sadly, administrative offices are open so no 3 day weekend for me. Normally I would have taken it off but since I've only been back 4 days it didn't feel justified....
Have a great day!

CRUSTY MOM-E said...

SHe has school today?
Well, if you lived up here, she'd be home. Course then you'd be cold.

Your mentioning of the DMV reminds me that I too need to get mine changed, it's still Florida,..yeah, I get pulled over,that'll be a ticket,...but, I can't go today, the DMV up here is closed on mondays, holiday or not..wonder why? OR is it just the license plate part of it? Maybe who knows..

Waitress sounds like she deserved a big tip and another establishment. Hope the next time you go, it starts off better. I wonder what Soultween would do if you put on a wig, and Souldad did a funny dress up jig there too.

I used to get embarrassed when my mom would pick us up in the wood panel station wagon, with her hair in rollers...that was in 8th grade..I've grown out of it, and have been known to drive Jackson to school in my leopord print slippers. :)

Happy monday!
Sorry she has school! That's crappola!

Always,
Crusty~

Monday posts are the best aren't they?

I remember my mom embarrasing me when I was souldkids age, but my mom WAS embarrasing...

I hope your DL pic turns out great! Mine looks like ass...teehee
and not even a nice ass, lol

Have a good day today -

xo

:)

Mary said...

My DL pic always looks like a police mug shot. It's just a fact of life for me.

This is still a school holiday here. I wouldn't go to the mall today for anything. There will be at least 5,000 kids there. We have a choice of three malls and everyone of them will be filled with kids. No problem for me - I avoid the mall.

Golden To Silver Val said...

No school here but I think its because of all the ICE on the back roads...main ones are ok. The DMV office here is sooo nice (shhhh don't tell anyone). Its almost unheard of to have CONSIDERATE people working at those offices but we do here. They will even let you look at your digital photo to see if you like it!! How's THAT for being great?
Good luck on yours today!

The Real Mother Hen said...

LOL :)
And Gypsy got a point! Damn it, our President is just a stone throw away yet we can't have a day off! Everyone is working his/her ass off in Oregon too!

I've been suspecting that Orygun is not part of the US you know.

Oh well, it's only 1032am yet I'm so freaking tired.

I wanna sleep!!!

JLee said...

I got to drive to the dermatologist and on the way got a giant rock chip in my windshield. DAMN IT!
It's a Monday, right?

I can relate to the waitress thing. I would probably throw food in someone's face if they got mouthy with me. Or maybe just spit in it. haha

Blur Ting said...

I know some people in the USA are not working today.... perhaps some states declare it as a holiday while others don't?

I understand what you mean when the kids do not want to be seen around with their parents anymore. It happens to me sometimes with my older kid.

I'm sure your dinner will taste great. We stew that here in a soy sauce for hours and it usually turn out meltingly tender and YUMMY!

Angie Weid said...

I'm baaack! Happy mUGHnday to you. I bet the pig is quite tasty.

Yeah school tomorrow!!!!

Mary said...

My day turned to mUGHnday, too. Harry developed an abcessed tooth over night. Guess I don't need to tell you where he ended up. All's well that ends well, though. Tooth is history and I made potato soup for dinner. Harry went to bed at 6:15 looking a bit droopy.

Hope your mUGHnday comes to a close as mAHHnday.

Portia said...

Yup, today is still a federal holiday around these parts. I was agonizing over a trip to the DMV to change my address when my brother told me I could do that at City Hall (which is a lot closer to me and not nearly as busy) and it was in fact true. Of course here is not there. Anyway, I'm sorry today sucked. I hope things get handled, whatever it means. And that dinner was good, and tomorrow is a better day! I am having A glass of wine...it's not much (I'm on baby doodie, er, duty) but see if you can catch a buzz...:)

Fleur de Bee said...

Hi Soul! Am I the only one who had a fantastic day LOL! I honestly like Mondays, even when I was working I did! I guess I just like new beginnings. Who knows.

JLee told me you had a fun time hanging out. Hope to meet you when I come for a visit!

Have a better Tuesday!

xx-M.

EE said...

My kiddos were off for president's day. What's a matter with your school district? Do they have something against presidents? Teehee
Enjoy your pig's butt...at my house we call it pork butt (my mom fixes it all the time, and it's yummy)!

Anonymous said...
