looks like we are back to doing the one post a month thing...oh well...that's how it goes I guess. life here has been pretty boring lately...the same old same old.....still yelling at the kids and wasting too much time online. yup. thats about it.

except for today. we still have our lovely frigid weather....and as I was taking the rat for her gymnastics class this morning, I hit a car in the parking lot. yup. a parked car. put a scratch down the side and took the mirror almost clean off....and its not as though I were driving like a maniac or anything...I was coming into a sheer ice filled parking lot, doing maybe 10km/hr...because, you know...it was fucking ice. pumped the brakes like a fucking maniac and nada....tried to steer away...nada....threw the mother fucker into park and jammed on the emergency brake. yup...what a way to start the day.
so in we go...I send little miss into her class (we were late, of course, as fucking usual...'cause its not morning if we aren't late for something)....ask her teacher if its her car...nope...ask the club owner....nope...ask the other mothers.nope nope nope....yup....the car just so happened to belong to one of my favourite people....the mother of a girl that little miss not only has gymnastics with, but also goes to pre-school with...so of course I feel even worse than if it was some asshat's vehicle...this woman was so good about it....but still...I feel like such a jerk - even though I doubt there was anyway I could have avoided hitting her car, unless of course I had stayed home.....
so, of course she will be talking to her husband and then they will be getting back to me.....ummm of course I'll see them tomorrow at pre-school....I jokingly told her that I was going to drop out of pre-school AND gymnastics AND change our phone number....having as good a sense of humour she told me that was ok and that if I ended up missing a side mirror it wasn't her...even if I did see her holding that baseball bat....I guess it is nice to be able to joke about it...but I still feel like a jackass...and of course because I was so nervous (can't think of anything else to call it) I was making my usual stupid jokes. ya...sometimes (ummmm..always) I'm just a jerk
so...today is the day that I am an official jerk....compared to just being an unofficial jerk, like usual. gawd....I suck....large
