Look....I Blogged Again!!!

I'm so pumped for myself!! I am blogging and it hasn't been a month since my last one!!! YAY ME!!!

So let's just say it has been an eventful few days! Yesterday was a total day from HELL!! Let me tell you a bit about it...since I know you are just dieing to hear about it!! haha

Ashleigh went to school just fine and then Addison and I began our daily errands. It is sooo much easier to only take one child on errands! lol Poor Ashleigh never goes anywhere anymore! So anyway we are still taking care of our old house for our landlord. He is in China because his father in law is sick. I went over to water and check on things. Then I had to go pick up Rick's dry cleaning. I dropped it off at 9:38 on Tuesday morning. They have a sign out front that says drop off by 11 next day service. So I'm thinking today is Thursday I should be good. HAHAHA That was the beginning of my crazy day dealing with Asian people that don't speak english!!! The girl at the front, Annie (how Asian sounding is that?!?!) anyway Annie came to help me and I could barely understand her when she said it would be ready after 5pm. I think, WTF! I dropped this over 2 days ago. I start to argue with her a bit and she goes...ok 3pm. I was so disgusted I walked out praying that they wouldn't lose Rick's clothes!!

After that wonderful experience, we headed to the library for story time. The girls and I used to go quite often. We hadn't been in awhile...since the booger got flicked on me! We sit down and the very nice and patient woman started to try to read. The kids were so out of control and the parents weren't doing a damn thing that she had to stop and didn't even read one story. Addison just sat, quietly and patiently waiting for the story. It was horrible and I felt so bad for the lady. Then we go to check out books and the computer is down!! Addison has picked out a few books and we have to put them back because they couldn't check them out. Imagine what kind of mood Addison is in now!!!

Our final stop is to Petsmart for cat food. I decide to stop at Target to get a brownie mix. Addison has been asking me to make brownies for days and I didn't feel like making them from scratch. I get my big spending amount of $3.99, I got yogurt for the girls as well, and go to get in the car. This is where the story gets good! We get in so that we can run around the corner to Petsmart. I back out of the parking space to be hit! This Asian guy backed out when I was backing out and we crashed. Since my day has been filled with english speaking people...I wasn't surprised when Hung Dung or Dung Hung didn't speak english!! Can you sense my sarcasm?!?!? His first words are shit and fix this. We exchange insurance info and because of my little car wash incident know that the police won't come because it is on private property. He wants my phone number and drivers license. I didn't give my digits out because I didn't want him calling me! My friend got in an "accident" and someone gave her number out and the jerk guy started harassing her and then calling her husband at work...so there was no way I wanted any part of that! This Dung or as I like to call him now, Hung Dong, lives in the hood...and I mean WAY WAY WWAAAAYYYY hood! I think he saw me back out...HELLO I drive a purple minivan!! It's not like you can't see me!! Anyway he saw me and decided to back out and hit and then blame it on me!

I get home and of course, you all know I was freaking out worrying if Rick is going to kill me or what! Rick isn't mad. We aren't even going to fix my damage. It's not that noticeable. I get Ashleigh from school and we are doing homework when the adjuster calls to talk about it. Mr. Hung Dong is saying that he wasn't moving and that it was 100% my fault. The adjuster asked me many detailed questions and I told him what I thought happened. I guess Dong Duck Do told him he wasn't sure if he was moving or not! Seriously how can you not know if you were moving or not?!?!?!?!!! Now I have to take the car a body shop, have my dent measured and documented and wait to hear what happens. Why does this crap happen to me!!?? lol I can look back now and laugh but seriously you didn't see a purple big ass barney minivan backing out and then you don't know if you were moving or not?? Dude I saw his rear backup lights in my mirror!! It should be interesting to say the least!!

Oh and one last thing....I'm now known as the loud Kinder mom!! Yes folks...I am loud and proud!

NEGLECTED!

My Blog has suffered some severe neglect in the past...oh 9 months! I really have to start getting back on the wagon since the summer is officially over and Big Daddy reads this to figure out what we have been up to!! haha

So....let's see.....I need to totally do a quick recap of the summer so I can finish dinner. Yes, I know, I choose the most opportune times to blog!! haha Hence the neglect!!

We enjoyed a relaxing visit to Missoula. Too short as it always seems. We did many things we hadn't done before. I will post pics soon. Like I always say I will!! We just love going home. I really think Rick feels at home as well. We've been going there about every summer for the past 10 years so I guess it kinda wears on you! Of course we enjoyed our...well my favorite local cuisine. I wish I was able to get home more often. I just love it there and the girls have such a good time.

So after we got home it was a quick week or so and......SCHOOL STARTED for Ashleigh!!!! She LOVES LOVES L O V E S it!! I can't imagine not sending her to school! She already has a group of little girlfriends that she eats lunch with and everyday after school they ask me for a play date! Its been wonderful her going! She is learning so much its insane! Her teacher is the best on in the department. Everyone wants her. We were destined to have her because she spells her name, Shirlee, like my mom! lol Its been a really good transition for us. Its great with just Addison and I during the day. I get to spend time with her that I haven't been able to do before. I was going to send Addie to preschool, but decided that I wanted one more year with her and then next year school.

Okay so that's been our big stuff. I will get pics up and blog more...because I know you all are just dieing to know what's been going on in our crazy world!!
