The pool in the city has a new bar code scanner thing for the people who have memberships and it is the stupidest thing EVER. we were waiting in line, five groups ahead of us, and it took us nearly forty minutes for the five groups (the biggest group was two adults, four kids) to get through so we could pay.

Ive never waited in line for more that ten minutes, no matter how busy it is before in my life, and we go to the pool OFTEN.

barcode scanners work great, awesome even, when they are in the right place. The right place is NOT when a mom has to try and coral unruly kids while trying to locate and scan their stupid cards without losing track of her kids.

(also, a mom should have better control of her kids, IMO, before she leaves the house with them!!!)

Read it and weep peeps. today we hit Plus 20. Celsius, of course, we live in Canada, and for those of you who do not know, plus twenty, if there is no wind is almost the perfect temperature. Plus 25 is the ideal temperature, for me, anyway.

If there is wind, like there was today, we tend to not want to do any water sports outside, so no finding the metal hose or washing out the kiddie pool for us, nope, we went to the city and spend the day – actually the past two days, at the pool there. I mean really, they have a water slide, and a hot tub and NO BUGS LOL

Its only April 26th and I have found 3 spiders inside already. I HATE spiders! I guess, spiders are the only part of summer I don’t like.

OMFG people, I’m gonna go batshit here.

Just for a minute though.

You see, my inlaws are home (insert various YAY’s here) and I love that they are home, the kids love that they are home, home is great. BUT

OMG BUTTTTTT

My inlaws love a bargain, which is great and all, but sometimes they go TOO FAR.

For example. they were at the wholesale and the oranges are being sold 5$ for a case – they are getting older, so they bought a case and they and the boys and hubby ate them. So they went back and bought THREE MORE CASES. Of oranges on the verge of rotting. My mother in law honestly expects me to have the boys eat upwards of six oranges EACH a day!..wtf??

Buying the first case was great, but after that? that’s fucking certifiable! there are mold on more than half of the ones she sent home to me, (Which is great as I have a good reason to toss them, then)

But seriously! I understand wanting a bargain, I would do the hula for cheap car insurance, and the clearance racks at Wal-mart? they SCREAM my name, but to buy rotting food?

Not OK.
