Here are this week's head scratchers and such...

Don't Forget to Enter!
I'm giving away a $10.00 Walmart gift card HERE

FYI to anyone whose child needs a 3" binder for school...

Selly needed one of thse for school and most places wanted almost 10 bucks for one! Insane! Last night,at Walmart, I found Photo Albums, tons of them, for $5.00 each. They have no writing to indicate they are for photos and they are 3" just like Selly needed. So, needless to say, I purchased one of those. I figure I can always use the photo sheets in another album. With the pages removed, it is just a regular old 3", 3 ring binder!

One of these days...

I started a Top Ten Thursday post yesterday, about the things Hubs does that drives me bonkers. After a couple of hours, I was still just halfway finished with the post ROFL So I saved to draft and decided not to post. One day, I might just do a special post, of all the posts that I started when I was angry and never published...

Opinions Please...

Here's the deal...

A few years back, when I worked at our local convenience store, I had a problem customer, as did some of the other girls that worked there. This customer, now in his mid-fifties, had the scary habit of following us home late at night. We would be driving home around midnight and, out of nowhere, he would show up behind us. He never did anything that we could have him arrested for. Just acted really creepy in person and then followed us on the road at times, almost as if he was hoping to catch us broken down or something. He even did it a few times in broad daylight. The fact that he lived five minutes from the store and once turned up behind a female employee that lived almost an hour away, confirmed that we were not just being paranoid.

Anywho, I have been tucked safely away here on the farm and haven't seen that guy for a few years. Until a couple of weeks ago, that is. He turned up here, wanting a job helping Hubs get in the crop. When I saw who was in the drive talking to Hubs, it made my skin crawl. When Hubs came in the house,I told him that I did not want that man around here. Hubs said it was too late as he had already told him to come to work. I told Hubs the whole "following" story and explained that I did not feel safe having that man anywhere near my girls. Hubs sort of foofooed away my worries and I could tell that he thought I was exaggerating about the man following me home. He had to eat crow a few days later when the wife of a friend of his asked him what in the hell was he doing hanging out with "that piece of dog crap". Hubs asked her what she had against the guy and she informed him that this creep follows her home almost every morning, after she drops her child off at school. Since this lady and I have ZERO relationship with each other, Hubs new that it was no coincidence. Again, I asked him to please send the guy packing, he told me I was jumping the gun as the guy had done nothing.

A couple of days later, a tractor pulls up in the drive. I think it is Hubs and step out to greet him. It wasn't Hubs, it was that man, not 20 feet from my house, taking a pee in plain sight, in my driveway. When I called Hubs name as I came out the door, the guy whips around with his willy still in his hand and says, "Hey!" Then started walking toward the house! I hurried inside and shut the door! Thank goodness Hubs came down the drive a few moments later. When I told him about it, he laughed.

Well, yesterday afternoon, the girls come in and tell me that while they were waiting for the bus yesterday morning, this creep pulls over and starts talking to them. He laughingly told them that he couldn't believe that a man that looked like Hubs could have two pretty daughters like them. Then he asked them if they wait at that same spot every morning. Cina said nothing. Without thinking, even though I have warned Selly about just this sort of thing, she told the guy, "Yes". Something in his manner had really disturbed both the girls and frightened them. It's that Pervert Gut Knot that I have told them to never ignore. Due to my past dealings with just such creatures, I have tried to make my girls extra aware without scaring them too much. It is so obvious that this perv is testing the waters with those girls. I know his type. I made up my mind right then and there that I am going to corner this guy, let him know that I was well aware when he used to follow me, and tell him that, unless he wants to lose a couple of knee caps and some balls to my baseball bat, he had better NEVER come within 50 feet of my girls again.

Last night, I had girls night out with my sis and Renni. I called to check in during dinner and I asked Hubs if the girls had told him about this guy and what he did. Hubs didn't hear the part about the girls, he just hears me say the guys name and starts insisting that he has already handled it. He says, " I told him that those were my kids he was talking about and that he just needed to wipe any thought of them out of his mind." I realize then that we are having two different conversations. I'm like, "What? When did you tell him that?" He says yesterday morning. And I ask why he would have said something to him then when he couldn't have even heard the girls story yet. That's when he tells me that when he started to work with Pervo, a full 2 hours after the bus had left ( just why was the man even on the property 2 hours before time to start work?), that he had told Hubs how good looking those two girls were and that he wished he were 18 again so that he could "woo them". WTH?! Why would he say this to their dad? Anyway, I was sure since Hubs now knew that he was eyeballing our younguns, he would give the man his walking papers. WRONG! He let him work the rest of the day and had it not rained today, he would have been here working again.

I was so mad. I told Hubs that I am going to run the man off. I swear, Hubs said well he hadn't really done anything yet. I say, WHY WAIT FOR HIM TO DO SOMETHING? Will it take the man doing something awful to one or both of our kids before Hubs realizes that he is a threat? He told me if I was so concerned then I should sit my ass at the bus stop with the girls till the bus comes. Not that easy for me as it would require dragging Tallen and Ross from bed before daylight blah blah blah. Besides, the girls enjoy walking to the bus, when it gets cold weather, I will start driving them. I told him that was stupid and that the girls should be able to safely wait for their bus without worrying about some sack of poo that he has welcomed onto the property. Plain and simple, let me send the guy packing, if he won't do it. I just feel like Hubs is throwing us to the dogs once again.
