One for the Record Books

So I have pretty much been having a bad day since Monday.  Bear that in mind while continuing to read.  

My children don't even begin t0 respond to me calling their names- they look at me like "who are  you and why are telling me what to do?".  Then, the frustration level increases dramatically if you are around any non-family members, as they just look at you with that "Bless your heart" gleam in their eyes.

So, fast-forward to yesterday...  I am in the drive through at the bank, yelling to the teller that I would like some cash please.  My children are screaming in a rotating fashion because "Riley/Jace is looking at me!!"over the CD playing "The Wheels on the Bus".    The teller sends me back two lollipops, (as if that's gonna help anything!) and says "Bless your heart."  Seriously.  That's actually kind of funny now that I typed it. :)

Anywhoooo, I am having one of those "serenity now" moments, grab my money, and pull forward to an empty parking space.  Then I just sit.  And sit some more.  I told my precious children that if they didn't stop the screaming I was going to leave them with the nice lady teller (which actually wasn't a good threat because they would have much rather been left with her, she has suckers! :)  So, while I am sitting it out, I decide to scrape off my old inspection sticker and replace it with the new one I had sitting in my car.  It took some effort (those things are stiiiiiiiiiii-cky) but I finally pulled it off, cleaned the exposed area with a wipey, perfectly aligned my new sticker up with the other one on my windshield, and stepped out of the car (for some peace and quiet) to examine my work.  This is what I saw...


WHAT would a police man even say if he pulled me over???  Would he ask me if I am mentally all there?  The answer would be one hundred percent NO. :)

So today I am putting my children back in the car to go get it inspected. TO MY ONLY CREDIT... both my inspection sticker and my vehicle registration sticker expired last month, so ACTUALLY, I did take off an expired tag, just not the right one. I think its important to remember this.

Like I said, its one for the record books.
