Shirts inside of shirts. WHAT.IS.THE.DAMN.ISSUE????? Is the actual 2.5 seconds it takes to separate the clothes actually considered a waste of time? Why is this annoying habit seemingly an inherited trait? Did you train the boy to do it too, just to see what I would do?
Teachers who yell at my daughter to "stop limping" when she has a 3-inch long section of MULTIPLE layers of skin, missing from the bottom of her foot. You teach, therefore, you should be able to approximate the length of this gash (if you cannot approximate, think roughly along the lines of the length of a deck of playing cards). Because you teach, you should also be able to empathize with this child, knowing that such a gash, should it be placed on the bottom of your foot, will likely hurt like hell. If you absolutely are unable to imagine such a mishap befalling one such as yourself, please, come over to my house. I will gladly take my potato peeler to the bottom of your foot.
Dudes that like to look all "tough and shit", swinging their arms and screaming obscenities at their girlfriends while I'm peacefully driving by. Do you think after I honk my horn at you that I'm NOT going to stop 100 feet down the road when I see a police cruiser and tell them what your punk ass is up to? Oh yeah, and that was your kid in the car I presume? Nice example you're setting...ass hat.
Teenage employees at KFC talking to their friends in the middle of a busy time. No, I don't care if you chat it up with your friends. Yes, I do care if you discuss who you're sleeping with in a CROWDED restaurant. I was most impressed with the fact that you were able to make a sentence by stringing together the f-bomb (17 times) and some other small words and form a semi-coherent sentence. The nice 97 year old lady in front of me appreciated too...she started having a mild stroke after the 50th time you said what you did to that poor boy in the back of his car. I almost forgot to mention, all of the parents in the room that were oh-so-relieved that they didn't have to have the birds and the bees discussion with their children thanks to the way you so delicately described the act of sex for everyone to hear. Well done. You are marked for greatness my dear. In fact, you SO deserve a raise.
Laundry multiplies exponentially, yet socks seem to vanish at the exact moment I need to pack 8 pairs for my son's trip the very next day. Whoever thought this one up is extremely clever. I'd like to meet them...for a blanket party. I will bring the LEFTOVER socks that DO NOT HAVE A MATCH and fill them with the itty bitty chunks of bar soap that everyone usually leaves in the shower for me to pick up and replace with a full bar of soap. That oughta leave a mark, don't you agree?

My Review: The momAgenda
For years now, I have relied on a Palm Pilot, then a Treo, and now a Cingular 8125 to try to keep me organized. It never worked. After "forgetting" about a few key appointments (ie - soccer practice and a game), I panicked, cursed myself out, and vowed to find a new way to stay on top of things.
For a lot of people keeping a digital agenda works, and works well. At my best, I had EVERYTHING in my phone. At my worst, I had my phone and 8,472 sticky notes with things I should put into my phone. Right here was where I should have realized that I would be better off writing things down instead of trying to find time to type them in. But no. I didn't do that; not even a little bit.
Enter a frantic web search for "agenda for mom". Up popped the momAgenda...I was hooked. I hemmed and hawed for over a week before finally deciding to buy one. It came with a momEssentials book, where you write in all of your VERY important, not-to-forget information, such as phone numbers, birthdays, and medical history information (for that not-so-nice moment when you decide to clock your husband with something that is extremely heavy; for instances such as these, you are prepared). My favorite part of it all though, is the agenda. It is LOVELY. The first few pages are the "month" pages...followed by the meat of it all, your weekly agenda. I LOVE THE WEEKLY AGENDA.
The weekly agenda is important here because it has your week running along the top, and four spaces underneath wherein you write in what your kids have going on. GENIUS!!! I can glance at one day and see what EVERYONE is doing. Even better? It has an extra space on the bottom for you to write in what you are planning to have for dinner each night.
Check it out:
Before you ask, yes, I stole this image from the site. My intentions are pure though, this is a great system for mothers (oh, and they offer an agenda that is for "everyone" in addition to different sizes and colors). And before you ask again, no, I haven't put my meals in my agenda...it would pretty much only say "Mac & Cheese" or "Chicken Nuggets" every day, so I figure, why bother? I will get to the point where I actually cook some sensible meals, but for now, my husband takes care of our meals, and I'm happy to let him do so.
If you're looking for a way to get a grip on your everyday life, this could be your answer. I HIGHLY recommend it. And? I did this review on my own. No one asked me to do this, I'm not getting paid for it. While my writing skills may not be as high as those of a "real" writer, I think that when I offer something from one mom to another and say it "KICKS ASS", that might just hold some weight with you people. Check it out, you might like it!
