Best: Going out on a date with my hubby because an angel of a co-worker of the hubby’s offered to babysit! Woohoo! Â Also? Weather that is less than 30 degrees celsius! Yesssss!!! Oh and a gift basket with about 15 different kinds of cheese from some friends who know my nerdy love of dairy products.
Worst: 2.5 hours spent in the Social Security Office waiting to receive A REJECTION LETTER. With two kids. And a hubby who was climbing the walls because he was so anxious to get back to work. And an obnoxious woman with a “service dog” (which was so old he could barely walk and certainly couldn’t hear and MOST CERTAINLY was not able to be of any meaningful help to himself, let alone a person) dressed in a T-shirt. This woman spent the whole time bitching about the system and how they are corrupt and always trying to screw her and bragging about how she had trouble learning to read and shrieking at our daughter about how now that she is starting school her life was going to be SO HARD AND NO FUN AT ALL. Thanks. Yes, that’s exactly the message I want to send to my kids. Learning = BORING. Also? She told us all about how she made a birthday cake for her dog’s 14th birthday. Newsflash? Your dog is not a child and maybe the reason he’s walking into walls and can’t keep his eye’s open is that all-cookie diet you’re boasting about feeding him.
