This is my first attempt at Friday Flip-off's but before I get started, I want to thank Erica at alabaster cow for turning me onto Friday Flip-off's and for Gigi at Kludgy Mom for being the the brains behind this brilliant idea.
And so it begins...
To my Rheumatoid Arthritis: you have been rearing your ugly head all week and I'm done dealing with you. Calm down already. I can only take so much prednisone before I turn into a total bitch (and a bloated one to boot! - NOT pretty!)
To people who STILL text and drive: Please STOP ALREADY!!! A young lady lost her life while texting and driving by swerving into my husband's lane, smashing up my "dream car" and almost killing him as well (thank GOD for BMW's engineering or I would be a widow)
To people who drive with small "designer" dogs on their laps: This is as bad as texting and driving. You are a distracted driver!!! Yes, it's cute but it isn't going to be so cute when you have a wreck! Put IT in the front seat next to you or in the back seat but GET IT OFF YOUR LAP SO YOU CAN DRIVE!
To those people who try to pull into the parking spot RIGHT NEXT TO YOU while you are opening your car door. HELLO! Can you please just wait until I'm out of the car first or maybe park someplace else?! I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other spots!!! Ugh!
To the administrators who create school supply lists: Really? 60 - #2 Ticonderoga pencils? WTF? First of all, what is a "TICONDEROGA pencil" anyway? Oh wait, they are the same as any other #2 pencil! (a pencil by any other name is still a pencil) And for me to purchase the absurd amount of 60, it will cost me approx. $21.00 - FOR PENCILS!!! AND... if you have say 20 kids in your class and each kid brings in 60 pencils, you will have 1200 pencils (yes, I know. I'm a math genius) What the hell are you going to do with 1200 pencils? School supply lists are great, I do understand that, but come on... let's be real!!
So with my tallest phalange extended as straight as it can be... FLIP OFF!!!
Wow! That felt great!!! I'm going to come back and do this again next Friday. Have a great weekend!!!
Hey, Kelli! thanks for doing Friday Flipoffs this week! You got a great first round in!
ReplyDeleteI too, am baffled by the school supply lists. We just bought prepackaged sets from the school because I pulled my hair out last year trying to find the exact things they wanted. Only problem is the packaged sets, for two kids, cost me $109. What is that????
Sorry to hear about your car...but glad your husband is okay.
Be sure to come back next week, and check out all of the bloggers on the hop...they are a great group of ladies, and now, one cool guy, too.
Great flip-offs! :D
ReplyDeleteHope you'll feel better soon.
That people who drive and text reminds me of the picture that says "Honk if you believe in Jesus. Text & drive if you want to meet Him" LOL.
Have a great weekend!
Hey, so glad you are joining in the FFO party. You had some great flips girl. So with ya on the school lists and those peeps who still text and drive. Glad hubs is ok. Super scary stuff. Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteGlad you joined the FFO's-I've found some awesome blogs doing that. School supply lists-I am convinced it's how teachers pay back parents. Yes, you may ONLY have three folders in these exact shades that may or may not have ever been produced.
