There is this huge debate going on over at Mother Hood Uncensored. Basically this woman goes into a name brand store and inadvertently comes out with a $6.95 duck that she didn’t wind up paying for. Now, both of her kids are asleep and she just takes the duck home and really doesn’t think it’s that big a deal. Neither do I. the reason I have decided to write about it is that for one, the furor this has caused over at her site is unreal! I mean really, the comments will make your eyeballs ache and that vein in the top of your head pulse, and for two… we had what I loving refer to as a ‘Lowes’ moment today and it made me think of that.

We went to Lowe’s today and bought a toilet and a shitload of other stuff for mom’s house. We were checking out and the lady herself went around scanning all the stuff on our pallet and the smaller items that were on the counter. She told mom the total and mom pulled it out and handed it to her without even thinking. My husband noticed that the price wasn’t right and checked the receipt.

“Did you get the toilet?”

“Oh, no I didn’t… I’m so sorry!” She says as she rings it up and takes another $150 from mom.

Me? I’m thinking… ‘Bill, you dumbass!’

We get home and we are looking through the Lowe’s sales paper and we figure out that on some of the other stuff we had been charged full price instead of the sales price for it. The difference was about eighty dollars. My mother in law is not the kind that will go in and argue with people to get the right price so she just chalks it up to being overcharged, but the next time she goes in and gets a ‘deal’ or they forget to ring something up, she wont say a word and if Bill does, well, we will have to beat him and lock him in the closet. This happens all the time when we go there or Wal-Mart. Some times we pay too much, sometimes we don’t pay enough. Sometimes things get through without being scanned, sometimes they get scanned twice. Dealing with this shit down here makes me think it will all work out in the end.

For instance, we paid double for a $200 door when we first started renovating this house. (We were buying sheetrock, all the inside house doors and the outside house doors, the total was LARGE so I was in sticker shock and didn’t notice it) We didn’t figure it out until months later when I was going through my receipts. But, just last month I went in and there was this beautiful picture window that has like three segments to it and it had four clearance stickers on it. I asked the guy which was the right price. HE TOLD ME it was the one that had the lowest price so it was $50. I immediately roll it straight to the desk, pay for it and get it in the truck. I went back a little while later and he told me that he had done it wrong and it was the price of all four stickers combined. His mistake, not mine. I got a $600 window for $50.

I say keep the duck and remember the next time you go in there you will probably be overcharged and it will even out.


To all those in New York… I will lovingly send you a flashlight and pray for your lights to come back on before you miss Ghost Hunters tonight!!!


What is up with this Crazy Ann Coltour? Recently she said she wished that John Edwards would be killed by terrorists. What the hell is she thinking? I’m not a political person, hell I don’t even really like Edwards but to say some shit like that is carazee!


There was recently a WWE wrestler Chris Benoit that was found dead in his home with his wife and seven year old son. My son is glued to this wrestling crap so I find that I get pulled into these stories. After what Vince McMahon pulled last week, faking his death and all, Dustin asked me to Google and see if the story was true. First of all I think this whole faking your death thing was a bit far for a storyline on Raw, that’s beside the point though. Turns out that the story on Benoit is true, only he strangled his wife one day, smothered his son the next day and then killed himself like hours or a day after that. It makes you wonder how he made it all these years without sending out red flags to all those around him after you find out that he was injecting his son with human growth hormones because his kid was on the small side. My God! There were needle marks in this kids arms. It breaks my heart to think of what this kid’s life must have been like.


Paris Hilton is out… They have released her to Robyn’s custody to serve community service on the farm. She will be pulling weeds, feeding the chickens, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming and best of all, cleaning litter boxes. There was no comment from Paris’ camp on her community service chores. (Just kidding, I really wouldn’t wish that on Robyn!)


I have been fighting with my laptop off and on all day, not this one, the other one… my good one. This one sucks. The left shift key doesn’t work, so when I try to type PPPP I have to play Twister with my fingers in order to type it. We had torn it apart to fix the modem and the fire kind of put us off on putting it back together. Well, now that I am typing a lot… HOWDY… I figured I would put it back together. Only, its being a Bastard and now the monitor won’t work. I guess I am going to have to *gasp* pay to have it fixed. *gag*I miss having a desktop sometimes.

Dinner tonight is turning into a crazy affair. My husband thinks it is Easter or something and requested... get this…
Fried Chicken, seasoned green beans, fried green tomatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn bread and green onions. And Joe requested corn. What the hell? I guess I shouldn’t complain since I am the dumbass that agreed to it. I keep hearing the phrase “get in the kitchen bitch” in my head.

I’ll post pictures after dinner.
