Whiny rant
Nov. 24th, 2006 09:57 pmSometimes I think I am losing faith in the human race.
The day before we left for Mexico, someone stole my husband’s quad. Right out of our back yard! And had to move a large piece of machinery out of the way to do so. This tells me that they knew it was there, and when we would be away from the house. Coincidentally, my next door neighbors had a landscaping job done that lasted about a week, and concluded on the same day that the quad disappeared.
Our trip to Mexico itself was lovely, after the initial four hours of my husband being too angry to string two cohesive words together on the drive down there. We managed to get across the border without having to pay a bribe (though not for lack of trying on the border guy’s part). The weather was gorgeous, the water was not too cold, and I got a sunburn the first day there, that turned into a very nice tan by the next day (hooray Spanish blood!). I learned that drinking vodka makes my face go numb, which is strange and not all together unpleasant, but not something I want to pursue all that often. I also got a nice bracelet, a henna tattoo, and five pounds of jumbo blue shrimp to bring home.
I got home, and took my kids to school for the one day left in the week before the holiday to find that the previous vice president of the PTO stole more money than I originally knew about, and had to authorize a check for $30 for a fundraiser that they never got last year.
It just never seems to end. Why do some people seem to think that it is acceptable to take what does not belong to them? Seriously – WTF? My husband’s truck was stolen in the last year, people have just taken power tools from his work trailer at job sites, now his quad was taken from the back yard. I am so tired of him working so hard, and then just flat out getting screwed. He is the most honest, hard-working man I know, and I swear if he didn’t have bad luck, he wouldn’t have any luck at all.
I’m not really going anywhere with this post, I’m just pissed off and lacking in faith in my fellow man right now.
I hope all of you are doing better.
