The holidays are just around the corner, the pressure is building and something has got to give…or I could just whine and rant right here. Free therapy begins now.
Mother nature is freaking out and so am I. What is going on? My parents are in Naples Florida and are experiencing freezing temperatures? Huh? Up here, we have snow banks that are literally 6 feet tall and we have been told to brace for round too! Enough.
Flyer delivery boy. Honey. The flyer needs to be placed on our doorstep. Wanna know why? Because when you leave it on the driveway and then it gets covered in three feet of snow, this happens. Look very closely. Can you see the flyer?
Yep. She is stuck in there. This type of snow plow jam leads to red veins popping out of my Hubbys neck and my dear daughters hearing words I would really rather they not! Besides, chasing down the bits that did make it through the throwy part of the snow blower, NOT fun. 
Speaking of snow..Snow plow dude. I fear for your life. Not because your job is dangerous, but because if you keep ploughing in people’s driveways, there will be a revolt. One of these Suburban Daddy’s is going to chase you down and stick a banana in your tail pipe…..or errr something way more sinister and icky.
Dear Neighbour. Thanks for the Christmas card. I’m happy to receive it especially since we talk like twice a year and hear the news that you will be in Florida for the next three weeks. Ummm adding the “PS Can you please shovel my driveway when I’m away?” Shocking! Not gonna happen sweetie!
People are rude. Yes I know this is not news. However, do you not find that near the holidays people become exceptionally self centered and jerkish? Today Mr. Entitled snaked the parking spot I was waiting for, and then when he saw me walking huffing by 3 minutes later gave me a “How YOU doin.” Seriously! Give your head a shake. How Rude. and might I add not a chance!
Teachers. I love you. No one works harder then you. Except my 9 year old kid that you keep piling assignments on. Enough already! Can we please have some slack for just a wee bit. No one likes assignments over the Christmas Holidays. That is so very Grinch like.
Dear Turkey. Yes, I am writing to/ranting about the turkey. I buy you already stuffed and ready to go. This is because I am a modern mom, not a domestic diva. Please this year, could you thaw out overnight as promised and cook in a reasonable amount of time? I would so love to feed my family before 8pm this year. Thanks ol bird.
Ahhh Much better now. Ranting is good for the soul! Go ahead….try it!
Linky love Five Giveaways of Proactiv Green Tea Moisturiser! Canadians only. Ends Friday.
They were kidding, right? Please shovel my driveway?
Yes, right after you pay me to do it! Come on.
And, this teacher? No assignments over the break here!
So I’m walking out of walmart and I stop to look both ways before crossing the giant cross walk area because I’m good about not getting run over like that. This jerkoff in a big SUV gives me the palms up are-you-going-to-go-already gesture because he’s almost had to come to a complete stop.
I turned and said, “Merry Christmas” to him, but I wonder, why the random un-jolliness? Tis the season and all that crap.
Thanks for the great laugh this morning! I know you are feeling better already…
Merry Christmas!!
Maybe you SHOULD help your neighbor out….. by adding ice on top of the snow they get so shoveling is more enjoyable when they get back! 🙂
Merry Effing Christmas!
People are so rude! And as I general rule, I just don’t like them.
you’re right it’s so nice to rant.
just breathe and relax even though you’re so pressured by the holiday madness plus the weather.
our teachers have been so nice…givng a homework moratorium until after the holidays…i am sure it helps them too…
lots of little things to drain the holiday spirit…
LOVE your rant! And as if your neighbour had the nerve to P.S. you like that… shovel their driveway while they’re basking in the sun in Florida? No, indeed! Sigh. It is such a busy time, isn’t it?
You crack me up girl … now head on down here, surely your parents are missing their grandkids and Naples is like 2 hrs door to door from me!
OMG! I would so laugh (from the window) if that happened to my hubby with the flyers. But see, he keeps asking for a snow blower, and I say nothing wrong with the shovel. I know I’m mean. He even wants a riding lawn mower for the pizza slice of a yard we have. He’s used to being on a farm and having all these toys at his disposal.
I agree with the snow plow though! This is why I’m glad at our “outofshitville” home we will be on a side street and not a main artery of the base!
Well your kids school seems to be on the ball. I’m sure they would know how many hands they have by age 8, or know their ABC’s by the time they’re six, unlike my little bastards I babysit!
Turkey – if you need help with the easiest way to have a turkey ready by 6pm with even home made stuffing and not have to get up before 10am, email me!

HA! As much as I love Christmas, I often find myself despising this time of year as well…the big crunch right before the big day. Hang in there, and I promise that I will, too.
Oh my goodness….snow just makes life crappy.
Hope you can find some magic amongst the craziness!
I think it’s much healthier to rant as the items happen rather than to save them up for one big rant. People have popped from less!
Yes, the holidays can bring a bit of stress with them. Buck up — it will all be over soon. 🙂
