Yep, still ranting today….. so move on if you don’t want to hear me whine.

My two older daughters, who are both in concert band (not marching band, mind you), came home yesterday (I had forgotten about this last night, so it may have contributed to my irritability too) asking for a check for $45. Each. For performance uniform that their band teacher had deemed necessary for them to have.

Like I said, this is concert band, not marching band. They have one performance per semester. They will probably have one before the Christmas break.

Don’t know if it’s the weather or the time change or the fact that it is now dark when I get home from work or that’s it’s colder or all of the above, but I am just darn irritable to day. Well, all that and I’m also PMSing but what ever….

I dozed off while watching Heroes, which really then irritated me cause I love Heroes! and I just can’t believe I fell asleep while watching it. Then, I realized, all my kids are still up at 10 o’clock on a school night! and the kitchen hasn’t been tidied up! grrrr……. don’t know why these little things bothered me tonight when normally I wouldn’t even worry about it.

 Oh, and if it wasn’t for NaBloPoMo, i wouldn’t even bother writing anything up tonight, but I just realized I hadn’t posted today yet. grrrr!

I won’t say anything about this, I’ll let them tell you about it…

Bush Vetoes Health Measure - on the Washington post

A Funny Perspective - well, not reallyI don’t know whether to laugh or cry…..Mr. Bush claims this legislation, which proposes adding $35 billion over 5 years so that an additional 6 million children will have health coverage, is too costly. He proposes a $5 billion increase instead. That’s reasonable, isn’t it?In the meantime, the Iraq War has now cost American taxpayers $456 billion and counting.

I suppose, if you are going to send your young people off to die in an unwarranted senseless war anyway, why bother keeping them healthy if they’re going to die young anyway?

Makes perfect sense, don’t you think?

I remember a time when Sears was THE Store. My step-dad worked there and retired from there. We grew up using Sears products, wearing Sears clothing, hell, we practically lived at the store! But they weren’t THE Store because my step-dad worked there and enjoyed the employee discount on all our purchases; there was actually a time when Sears was THE store where you can get great quality merchandise and excellent customer service.
