Random Tuesday Thoughts
Keely at The Un-Mom started Random Tuesday Thoughts and we thought we would join in the fun. Stop by her blog and check out her awesome randomness.

Today I had to go to the hospital for my pre-op blood work and urinalysis. Here’s the thing….I think they need to make special shaped cups for women, because I peed all over my hand trying to get it into the damn thing! Just an idea!
No offense, but someone needs to slap some sense into Jon from Jon & Kate plus 8! He is a big, annoying baby! The new show will be called Kate and Eight…..his show will be called Jon the bald, loser who can’t keep a job, and is a useless baby!
I have a confession to make…my name is Stacy and I have an addiction problem…I am addicted to Quaker Caramel Rice Cakes! OMG!! They are soo good! When did rice cakes become so tasty? The last time I had a rice cake it tasted like Styrofoam. If you haven’t tried them, I highly recommend them. I’m up to a bag a day…it has to be better than a bag of potato chips a day!

I had a bunch of random crap all set to go, but after I typed it and read it, I didn’t like it. Ya, it was crap. Not really feeling the randomness last night or this morning. As you can tell from Stacy’s randomness, she wasn’t either. WTH? How hard can it be to come up with random stuff? My whole life is random.
Today’s the first day of summer vacation and I’m wondering how quickly my morning peace and quiet will turn into arguing, whining and crying. Oh, you’re thinking it’ll be my kids. Nope, that would be me. I just counted and they have 77 days off. OMG! 77 freakin’ days! Maybe I counted wrong, it’s gotta be wrong. Crap, I didn’t count today……..it’s 78. Okay, deep breath, we’ll get through this.
My husband left for a business trip to Chicago yesterday. He got the news Friday afternoon around 3 o’clock. Pretty short notice for me. Somehow his trip and the kids last day of school were both the same day. So now I get the kids home with no reprieve until Friday. WTH? Wait, there’s no reprieve on Friday. Crap! I almost forgot, that’s the day Sissy is having her birthday/pool/slumber party. That’ll be fun. Last year one girl almost drowned and for some reason her mother neglected to tell me her daughter turned into a panic stricken flailer in water. Ya, she’s not invited this year. So we’ll be suffering through that until Saturday. At least he’ll be home in time to suffer along with me. I hate slumber parties! Then it’s my birthday on Sunday. Isn’t if funny that when you’re a kid you look forward to your birthday like it’s the most important day of the year. You’ll be another year older, a bigger number. It’s just huge. Now, really not so much.
Apparently all the planets were in alignment on Friday because Mitch and I actually got out to the movies and then went to eat at a local restaurant. Without exaggeration, it was some of the worst food I’ve ever had. I should’ve been clued in by one of the specials. It was the “Boston Harbor Plate”. For one thing, we live in Western NY. For another, calling something the “Boston Harbor Plate” really makes it sound unappetizing if you’ve ever actually been to Boston Harbor. It included fried fish, bay scallops, clam strips (Yes! I said clams strips, blasphemy!) and calamari rings. So we steered clear of the “Boston Harbor Plate” but then stupidly ordered the Lobster Bisque. It was more like fake lobster pudding. It was so thick we could’ve eaten it with a fork. Just gross. So we sent that back. The rest of the food was pretty poor. When we got home, I sent an email to the restaurant and surprisingly I still haven’t heard back from them. I swear the email wasn’t all “You’re food really sucked!”
