and we wonder why everyone has add??

i wake up this morning. late as usual. get myself and mav ready, pick up p's friend for swim team (who's not ready...at all...i'm starting to resent doing this.), meet the kids and their dad at the pool, answer a phone call, talk to the coach, cheer on p, feed mav, watch eeber....breathe. all before 10am? then i load up the kids and their stuff, take p's friend home, stop at walmart while planning meals in my head, go home, unload groceries, jump on the computer, download a dvd conversion program. which sucks. so i go for another. which requires a windows upgrade. so i oblige. all while making lunch, starting dinner, juggling laundry, and getting a phone call saying i need to be across town by 2:30. it's 1pm. i'm exhausted just TYPING this, and yet i feel i've gotten nothing done after all that insanity today. instead of running my life, my life is running me. *sigh*

also, i was scammed by little kids yesterday (not my own. i'm too smart for THEM. lol), and they attempted again today. some little girl showed up at my doorstep selling a "book" she made. it consisted of about 5 piece of notebook paper folded together and a name with a heart on the front. said girl is probably only about 6, and she only wants a buck, so i give it to her. turns out the "book" has nothing in it. lol. i want to lecture her about selling sub-standard work, but decide against it. not 20 minutes later, 2 slightly older kids show up "selling" their toy gun and sword. oh, so i've become the gullable lady of the neighborhood? i don't THINK so. i try to semi-kindly let them know that i won't be shoveling money out all day. apparently they got the message...FOR YESTERDAY. today, little girl shows up on my doorstep again trying to sell ANOTHER book. wow. apparently people are starting their little scammers young these days. i told her yesterday was a one time deal...and my house will probably be egged in the morning. *sigh*

and finally...an ambulance has driven through our neighborhood down the same street in the same direction every day for the last 4 days. yesterday and today it happened TWICE. last night there were tons of cop cars, no lights...WHAT'S GOING ON??? call me an ambulance chaser, but i NEED to know!!! maybe i can ask for a police scanner for my birthday...but that'd be WAY more add than i could handle! lol
