The last few days have been stressful to say the least.
On our way to school Wednesday morning my little munchkin just threw up all over the back of my truck. No warning. Just bleakdfhjwoeirsdf.....That was an instant U-turn. We were about three miles away from her school and I just said to myself well we are going to be out for a few days.
I knew that a few other kids have been coming down with this stomach bug and wasnt even going to take my chances with it. We went right to her doctors (after we came home and took a nice long bath). Sure enough the doctor said she had the stomach virus and it would last for about three to four days. I had to take a medical leave from school so that my attendance wouldn't get messed up. The worst thing about it all is that she is getting thrush from the virus. She has never had thrush! Ugh! Its horrible.
Today has been much better.
I did a deep cleaning of the house and oh my god! I cannot believe how messy this place was. Of course, if I dont clean for a week it all turns to crap because I am the only one that knows how to clean in this place. Seriously. I cant knock my mother in law too much though. She does try but its like she never learned how to clean. What she does is what my mother would have grounded me for as a kid. She half ass cleans and its horrid. I even cleaned out from underneath the fridge and I dont think that has ever been cleaned in this house...ever. It was nasty! I dont hate living here but it really makes my OCD go absolutely crazy! I just dont get how people dont know how to clean up after themselves. If you clean it up when your done with it, you dont have to clean it later and you can enjoy the rest of your day but if you half ass clean then you have to go back later and do it again and again. Just take care of it the first time and you'll be done with it. Serious question though, how freaking hard is it for someone to throw their damn trash away? You are done with it, its trash; throw it the fuck away! Okay? I am gone all week. I just dont understand. You use a dish, put it in the damn dish washer. If it is full, run it! If it is done going empty it! If you have dirty laundry put it in the hamper. If you see that the living room is dirty clean it up, USE A DAMN VACUUM!
I dont know how else to say it to you people! Clean up after yourselves! Be adults! Dont be petty and try to blame it on my daughter whom is also in school all week!!
Okay now that I am done with my little rant I am going to write on an article I just read. Food etiquette in other countries- kind of self explanatory. Best one I read was "never mix or turn down vodka in Russia". Epic! Russians and their vodka; I can relate. LOL! Seriously though, do not turn down or mix the vodka!
Okay, next one was "in China dont flip the fish". I can actually attest to this. When I was in Hong Kong, on a medical mission with Operation Smile, one of the in countries doctors like flipped out on one of the other girls on the mission because she flipped the fish. Its normal when you are eating a fish to flip it over when you get done with one side, but not in China. That is like a bad omen to the fisherman who caught the fish and the chef who prepared the fish. By flipping the fish over you are wishing the fishermans boat to capsize and the chefs prosperity to decrease. I really dont know where they got all that but that is how it was explained to me and basically how it was written in the article.
And, the last one that I want to write about it, "in Mexico dont use a fork while eating a taco". Apparently that is snobby and rude. Personally, I dont care either way. I prefer taco salad to a messy taco but that is because the taco just breaks anyway. I wouldnt care about using a fork but its an easy way to be seen as a tourist. Just like you dont order cappuccino after noon in Italy. You are seen as a tourist and thats not a good thing.
Actually, its a horrible thing. Every time I was out of the country I was told to tell people I was from Canada for my own safety. If some one asks just say your Canadian and go with it. America is fucking awesome because we are bullies and can back it up but we are also hated for that so protect yourself. I never like to be seen as a tourist besides that because tourists are rude and take no consideration for the people or animals living in the place that they are visiting. And that stems from growing up in Florida. I was a true Floridian and I hated tourists because they always messed up everything. Especially the fourth of July on the beach. You want to hang with your friends and family and you cant because they are everywhere being rude, getting to drunk, getting their rental cars stuck in the sand, and starting shit they didnt need to start.
Well there is my rants and ravs for the night.
