They never learn!

My DD decided to go out in the lovely winter snowy weather we have tonight! Just a dusting so far but our private road is solid ice from the entry way all the way to my front door. Which by the way is about 1 mile long.
~~~ edited to add ~~~ my lovely DD also ended up in the ditch at the 90 degree turn which cause us to have 2 trucks hookup chains to pull her out. Neither truck could do it till my neighbor and I laid down on roof of van with legs up on the trees that were .2 cm away from van and push. Luckily I have the strength of the HULK when I’m mad … so little to say the van is out.
Then lovely most darling daughter decided she just HAD to go back over to her ex husband’s house and deal with the paternity papers for my granddaughter.
Now she IS my daughter so I will hold my tongue. But I made it very clear that she will pull her own self out if she gets stuck again!
But for the record … I’d like to slap her square upside her head at this point!
The bridge didn’t collapse!

I did it, I’m so proud of myself! I crossed the bridge and it didn’t collapse. haha! Inside joke for anyone who lives in Door County. Most of us rarely cross the bridge, but I did today!
Was a long journey that started off slow and on the wrong foot. Got almost to town and yikes, I realized I forgot my CVS card. Go figure right? I also forgot I had a backup card in my wallet. Go figure again! So I drop 10 miles BACK to my house to get my card.
Then I got to the bridge to find it up, yes up! Why is it whenever I do decide to go across it, some fool decides he needs to take his back ass sailboat under it. Mind you it’s like 50 degrees IF that on land, I can’t imagine what it was out on open water. People, 99% of them are nutcases.
So anyways, I finally made it to Green Bay. Store 1 Walgreens! Rude people I swear totally rude. Cashier didn’t smile didn’t acknowledge me at the register. I swear between our local walgreens and the ones in GB today … it must be a prerequisite to be rude and not smile. They all want to argue about what coupons I could use and what I couldn’t … see this is when those corp emails come in REAL handy. Fun fun to teach a manager his own job.
Then off to my second walgreens, little easier, little friendlier by about .05%. Got my things and practically ran out of the store. This store though wanted to argue about a KY Intrigue $5 printed coupon. Telling me it’s not possible to use the store coupon (it was $5 off) and then my manf coupon (another $5 off) for a total of $10 off a $19.99 product. Uhm YEAH you can! Sheesh greedy little turds.
Then off to my third walgreens, yes third, I too am a tidbit insane. Got my things again ran out of the store, ofcourse, after a 20 minute disagreement about how to use coupons AGAIN. This time I lost. Couldn’t buy 2 P&G products and use a $8 register reward from P&G and then two more $2 off coupons for only 3 products. If I’d have bought another P&G the coupons would have all gone through. Eh learning lesson, won’t be doing that again!
That’s it for now it’s 10:46 CST time and I’m cold and ready for bed! Tomorrow I’ll share the rest of my adventure … tick tock!
Row Row Row your boat!

Gently down the stream! That’s about how I feel up here in Wisconsin. It ain’t merrily that’s for sure. Damn rain won’t stay away and last night I swear to Mother Nature she had a curse on us. The lightening was so bad it literally lit up my house for several minutes. Then the sirens in our area went off for no apparent reason … according to the news. Which is kinda ironic seeing as we’re in total farm area and you can’t bloody well hear them anyways. Glad I was notified of the not so urgent tornado that was incoming but really wasn’t! @@
It’s almost August and we’ve had what 1 maybe 2 days of blarring heat. I remember when I was a teen and May was the dreaded month. Air conditioner’s would go on, the pool would get set up, dad and I would set the garden. Now it’s practically August and we’ve seen our first real 80+ degree weather that was unbearable.
And they say Global Warming isn’t happening. The government needs to seriously wake up and put some restrictions on factories, cars, all of it. It’s obvious that the seasons are changing months.
Soon winter will be during summer and summer during winter.
