Irrelevant ( to most of you ) Rant
I started yesterday off by being told i had to move from the space i was occupying outside my child's school. The space designated as the parent drop off zone. The planners of this school in their unlimited generosity and forsight allocated a drop off area that can accomodate 5 cars for a few hundred children and their parents.
Now like many of the parents if it wasn't for the nazi parent parking patrol i would probably be parking wherever i damn well pleased and breaking all the rules just to get my kid to and from school in the most convenient manner possible... convenient for me that is. ( i use the term nazi parent parking patrol affectionately because if it wasn't for these great parents who volunteer their time kaos would reign )
Anyway, because of these aforementioned great parents who take their duties very seriously we all toe the line and anxiously await our turn for a chance at the 5 car drop off zone every morning... that is unless the school buses aren't coming and then the little green kiss and go sign is displayed and we can steal a few seconds in the bus zone to deposit the kids.
I, however, was in the permanent 5 car drop off area and got told to move. When i checked to make sure my bumper wasn't sticking out even a millimeter past the little no parking sign i informed her i was not in the bus zone... to which she replied "well the buses need to be able to get in". Huh?????
Okay no doubt it sounds absolutely ridiculous and petty to be letting my blood pressure hit the roof over this little incident but i am a SAHM (stayathomemom) and these are the sorts of things that occupy my time and thoughts in addition to housework and talking to you lot... oh and lets not forget my ongoing search for the secret of life and everlasting happiness...
... (rant continues--please ignore appalling grammar) besides every school day for the past 5 yrs i've followed all the damn rules... priding myself in my almost flawless following of the parking rules that become the nitemare of every parent beginning around kindergarten. The parking situation is bad enough but give the parents who abide by the rules a f*cking break... sheeeeeeeeeesh. Since when is there a rule that we now have to clear the 5 car dropoff area so the buses have room to get into their area...???? Huh???? Thought you'd just make that one up??? Sneak that one in yourself?? Make up a few for entertainment purposes?? See how the sheep react when ya throw in a new one??
Oh and to the guy that threw his hands up at me in the van at the mall yesterday... F*ck you buddy... i didn't ask you to sit at the crosswalk and wait for us to cross... sorry for using up 7.6 seconds of your sorry life loserhead.
By the time i got home yesterday my f*ck you attitude was firmly intact again... thx world... life is a lot easier when you stop caring... and some people make it so easy not to care.

"I have heard it all my life,
A voice calling a name i recognized as my own.
Sometimes it comes as a soft bellied whisper.
Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency.
But always it says:
Wake up my love.
You are walking asleep.
There's no safety in that."
