Shake Your Random Thing!
If it’s Tuesday this must be Random Tuesday Thoughts. It used to be brought to you by Keely at The Un-Mom but she’s taking a hiatus. Okay, it’s been a really long hiatus but Random Tuesdays still rock on with help from Stacy .

J-Man came home from school today and said he sits by his arch-nemesis. The boy who bullied him through most of 2nd grade. So here we are again, in 4th grade and that boy is not only in his class, but he has to sit next to him. It’s not like it’s a small school, it’s huge! Guess I’ll be emailing the teacher tomorrow.
We have a tropical plant that we move out onto our pool deck every spring and bring back in the house when it starts to get cold out. At least it gives the plant a fighting chance because if I remember to water it even once over the winter it’s lucky. If it’s not asking, barking or meowing for food, it doesn’t get fed. Apparently, this summer it became a home to an ant colony. Fun times! I discovered it when one of the children left a plate on the table next to the plant. It didn’t take long for the plate to become covered with ants. Super! Like I don’t have enough to take care of.
This morning while I was doing the umpteenth load of laundry, a spider scurried out from the pile of clothes just as I put them in the washer. Of course, it was HUGE! Even thought I hate spiders I felt kinda bad that it was going to drown and be all mangled and get it’s legs ripped off in the wash. I’m watching it scurry around the clothes in the washer as it was filling with water and feeling guilty that this stupid spider was going to be killed because I threw the laundry in the wash. I still wasn’t sure what I was going to do, but I thought if I can at least get it out of the washer I won’t have pieces of spider legs strewn all over my clean clothes. But I was also afraid that if I reached my hand in, it would jump onto my hand and then proceed to scurry up my arm or bite me or both. (Did I mention how much I hate spiders?) It was on a sock, so I quickly grabbed the smallest, most far away from the spider part of the sock I could and whipped it out of the washer as fast as possible. Water flew everywhere, the sock landed across the room on the floor and relief flooded through me. No spider bite! Then I looked back in the washer and he was still in there! How did that happen? Didn’t the stupid spider know enough to stay on the sock?? Now it was on one of my shirts. I had to try it again. I reached in, grabbed the smallest, most far away from the spider part of the shirt I could and flung it out of the washer. It was already soaking wet and water splattered everywhere and the shirt landed on the laundry room floor with a splat. I cautiously looked back into the washer and that damn spider was still there. I closed the lid and left. Stupid spider. Now I have spider guts and spider bits and pieces all over my clean laundry. Crap!

I was at the gym tonight with my bf and I noticed a few things, probably because there were so many people there….
1. Big stupid muscle head guys do not think they need to wipe down and disenfect the weight machines when they are done. Apparently their nasty sweat is okay.
2. People sit on the weight machines doing absolutely nothing for way too long. I don’t know why they sit there and do nothing. Although some just sit there and use their cell phones. It’s not a couch buddy, use it or get moving.
3. Most stupid muscle head guys spend more time posing, flexing and looking in the mirror at themselves. And while they’re thinking girls are checking them out, we’re really making fun of what idiots they look like.
4. Some girls wear more make up to the gym than I wear to work, and they walk maybe 1 mile an hour on the treadmill, and don’t sweat a drop. Yeah that’s working out right there.
5. The “Ab Coaster” that Chuck Norris and Jennifer Love Hewitt advertise is NOT as easy and fun as they make it look. Actually it’s neither easy or fun. When you get on it you will make the worst face you have ever made, you will swear, sweat and complain the whole time. It just sucks (excuse me Mum), but it does. It does however work your abs like nothing else. It should for as bad as it is. I wouldn’t buy one though, it wouldn’t make the best laundry hanger.
Oh and by the way, yes we go to the “Judgement Free Zone”, can’t you tell?
Join us for What The Hell Wednesday tomorrow. Something must’ve made you say ‘What the Hell’ in the last week.
