Do as You Say

When a person states that they plan to do something, why is it so hard to just do it? Why behave like a child and wait till I turn around to do what you want not what you said? You’re an adult!

It started with a letter in the mail letting us know that trash pick up changed from twice a week to once a week. Every Friday at 7am trash would be picked up. Months went by and every Friday, trash went on the curb by 6am to make sure trash pick up was done on time.

This particular Friday when I left at 8 am, the trash was still sitting in the trash can on the curb. I thought the trash was running late. I came home it noon from a doctors appointment and they trashcan was still on the curb. By the time we went to eat dinner, the bin was still full and on the curb. Saturday came around so I asked HIM what is going on. He stated that the trash people didn’t pick up the trash so he emailed them and they would pick it up by Monday. At was Saturday evening and I asked if he honestly thought they were picking up the trash on a Sunday and if we have more trash, should we have to walk to the curb? He stated he would put it back.

Monday, I noticed the trash bin was still on the curb so I rolled it to block the driveway. He rolled it back to the curb and still left it on the curb. He called the trash people and still tried to get them to come out. Its thanksgiving week so they will not be coming out or at least that is what common sense tells us.

Tuesday, I walked out to throw trash away and had to walk all the way to the curb yet again. This many still will not do as he said. I blocked the driveway again with the trash can. He tried to say that he was doing what the trash company said. He also told me he would put it back on Saturday. Its Tuesday night, the trash people said by Monday the trash would be picked up. It is Tuesday. They aren’t coming! He said he did but the trash bin back but after I went inside, he put it back on the curb like a child.

Just do as you said!! Put them damn thing back!! Grow up and own the fact that you didn’t put the trash out on the curb in time. Stop lying to yourself sayin that the trash people forgot to get the trash!!

Even Adults Need Their Toys Taken Away….

Do other states have “State Fairs” like Texas??? So our little blended family took our kids to the State Fair of Texas and we wondered into one of the vender buildings, this one was full of beds and more. We needed a restroom break or more so, I did. There was some self involved woman with a high long pony tail and wearing a sports bra and Lycra bike shorts from the 80’s. She was on her phone as her kid was running like a crazy kid. Mom was too busy to get out of the middle of the isle. I shook my head and proceeded to the bathroom.

My fiancé waited with the kids as they “tried” out the beds… I came out of the restroom to a very upset fiancé. I asked why he was mad. He told me , “You know that lady that was on the phone? Her kid just ran up to your son and spanked him on the butt and ran away. I told the mom and she just walked away and said she needed to go find her kid! Grrr!”

They lady was nowhere in sight so we got the kids and proceeded to leave the building. As we walked away, I spotted some fake sunglasses under one of the beds so I picked them up and puts them on my head. All the while thinking, I can turn them in to the lost and found later. They were scratched and wonky so I didn’t think twice. After a minute or so I heard someone saying rudely, ” Are those your sunglasses? Those are mine! Where did you find my sunglasses?” Then a person runs from behind me and stands in front of me. Guess who it is? It is none other than the self involved lady and her inappropriate kid.

I looked at the lady as I acknowledged where I saw her and without hesitation, I quickly turn accusatory and say, “Aren’t you the lady who’s kid spanked my kid and when my fiancé confronted you, you walked away without acknowledging what your kid did?”

She looked all sheepish and rolled her eyes. Then instead of acknowledging it or apologizing, she just looked at her kid and said, ” This lady has my glasses, can you just apologize so I can get them back? I can’t take you anywhere!” The kid laughed and looked at this mother and said he would not apologize. She then said that her kid had ADHD and was autistic as an excuse.

Now I know there are many spectrums of autism but this child acknowledged he did wrong and found it humorous. It was evident that he was never made to take responsibility for anything. I then replied letting the mom know, “My kid also has ADHD, and Autism but he is not allowed to touch anyone anywhere and he keeps his hands to himself. He does not go around inappropriately spanking people and especially not without any repercussion PERIOD! Now my son deserves an apology!” I crossed my arms in front of me and waited.

The lady then bent down to my sons height and apologized to him. Sad that I had to make her apologize and do the right thing but, adults sometimes need their toys taken away as well!

Chain of events

Ok so last night I had a series if events that led to this situation. . .
It was a an order from Applebee’s and drop off was 2miles at a hotel. First, there was a bar fight when i got there and I just needed to get the food and the hell UP out of there! I go around the fight and into their kitchen cause lets face it, we have bills to pay and first things first…(watch while we wait cause why not?) Finally get the ladies order and get on my way. ( the bartender won for inquiring minds…)
No one is in the lobby but a chatty strapping young man on the elevator, just got back from his softball practice and fetch himself some whataburger. We chatted how he saw the line was empty and made that quick dash cause lets face it, EVERYBODY knows Whataburger is the hottest place to get into! Get on the waiting list and if you see an opening you pull over! We parted ways on the second floor. He headed to the fourth. ( he lost his game for those inquiring minds.)
Made it to the ladies suite and knocked as I pulled out her items. A couple in hoodies came out and stared at me as I placed food down. They got into the elevator and I called the customer to inform them their food was there. I called and waited went straight to voicemail. I knocked and still nothing. I called and straight to voicemail. At this point I made rash decisions to go ahead and take photo and mark order as delivered while I continue to wait. I sent her picture and I heard movement so I assumed she was preoccupied or playing the game of lets see how long we can hold up this dasher . either way I wanted no part so I left. I got another order and at that hour during the week, you can’t pass them up. She later send this conversation.
