Holiday cheer, bah hum bug!!!

It is NOT a good day in the season for me.  For starters, I didn't want to get out of bed.  I shouldn't have.  But My Girls had to be to school.

I'm driving down the Mountain View Corridor, because that is THE fastest, simplest and best way to get to Elizabeth's car pool drop off destination.

And this "Man" swerves over in front of me with NO signal. I was in the RIGHT hand lane.  I slammed on my breaks and flashed my lights (because of the lack of signal... I mean COME ON! It's the LAW)

I then changed lanes.  He swerved back over to the left lane... again sans signaling.  I didn't have time or the patience for this.  I had a load of children in my mini van that needed to get to their destinations safely.

He proceeded to ride the middle of the 2 lanes so there was NO where for me to go.  he alternated between that and swerving between the lanes for about a mile. When I finally got around him, he went all drag racing on me and actually acted like he might swerve into me. Of course when I got up next to him I rolled down my window and asked if he was out of his mind.  He then either called the police, or pretended to call the police on ME!!!!

WTFFFFFFF?!?!?!?!?

I wasn't willing to try my luck and stick around to tell the REAL story.... again, I needed to get away from this loony.  So I left him to sit on the side of the road with his cell phone and put as many cars in between him and myself as possible.

**********************************************

I stop at the gas station after all of The Girls were safely at school,  to get a "well deserved" doughnut.  And as I'm pulling out, I had to back up a little because my nose was out too far for the not the brightest star in the sky people going past.  And the guy behind me honks at me.  I was fed up at this point.  Dude, just back up a little.  I looked as I walked back towards him.... he had plenty of room between our bumpers.

I said "I'm sorry, I had to move or I was gonna get hit."  He proceeded to yell a list of things I SHOULD have done instead of the simplest and easiest answer of BACKING UP.  At that point, I called him a pig.  And left.  Childish of me, ok.  But C'MON!!!


So Now, I'm dealing with our "Family" Christmas get together on the 26th.  I knew it was going to happen that everyone besides the Host for our Thanksgiving gathering provided MOST of the meal. , but not one person was going to even OFFER to help out with the Christmas one (since it's at my house).  I should take it as a compliment.  I can handle it just fine.

But it sucks that not ONE person has offered.  SO, they will get what I make.  Asparagus, green beans, and a chocolate chip loaf for dessert. (Of course there will be other foods, but they will be tasteful and healthy vs the loads of starches that these people are used to)  And I don't want to hear ONE complaint. :P
