woohoo!!!

We got to see the fireworks last night! I was afraid they would be canceled due to rain but it was just cool and breezy but dry. We did get there an hour early, not knowing exactly what time it started. We just found a parking lot but down the street from where we thought they'd be. But luck was shining on us. We were parked about 200 yards from where they were set up at! I had to lay back in the bed of the truck to see but wow! It made up for the burned ribs and sausages. We ended up making a trip to Fuddruckers to get some burgers.

Anyway, I am finding that as I get older and my kids get older I tend to get easily annoyed at other people's kids. There was a group of kids parked near us that SCREAMED every blasted time a firework went off. I was ready to go tell some grownups to keep their kids in line. They were not little kids and should know better. The parents should know better, too, imho.


Soooo, this morning I can smell someone smoking in my house. I'm very sensitive to smoke and for some reason it also goes *directly* to my room thru the a/c vents. Now, I do not allow *any kind of smoking in my house. None. Zip. Nada. I don't give a care *who it is. It could be the president of the US and I still would not allow smoking in my house. So when I smell someone smoking in my house I tend to go a bit ballistic. I busted thru that bedroom door very loudly making my point known. And it just gripes me. This *gurl* is pregnant with my grandbaby and she is smoking. I think that tells me just what kind of mom she will be. It's all about *her*. What's best for that baby is not what is important to her. Grrrrr Sometimes I wish I could just vanish from all this c- um, garbage. I don't need this stress.
