This crazy life.

Sometimes that is about all you can say about it.  It’s just nuts.

It is just amazing how things happen sometimes and you just have to say “what the hell??”

This weekend was like that.

Saturday night, we had a bunch of guys from church over for poker night.

I know..

Church + Poker= the debil right?

No.

Anyway.

It was fun.  We had a good time.  Couldn’t wait until church on sunday.

Life. was. good.

Sunday morning, we woke up and were getting ready for church when Brian’s cell phone rang.

I remember hollering something like “You tell Andy that you can’t play until AFTER church.”

Then I saw Brian’s face.

Not good.

He said “What? are you kidding? where? Ok, I’m on my way.”

He hung up and I asked what was going on.

He said “that wasn’t Andy, that was dad.  Mom had a heart attack this morning.”

I am pretty certain that the earth stopped spinning for a second.

And I think I may have stopped breathing too.

Without going into too much detail, she is going to be ok. But it was scary for awhile.  It is still scary.  And yes, she could use your prayers.

It just seems so crazy.

Praise the Lord above that she is ok.  I am just really ready for the bad news phone calls to stop.

Really.

It’s been going on since December.

I just need them to stop.

Totally selfish, I know.  But darn it, I need to rest. And get this kink out of my neck that has been there for months.

I need a massage…and a good news phone call.

So, if any of you are interested in hiring some dude named Sven to come rub my shoulders and prank calling me with a “you have won the lottery! what are you going to do now?” phone call, I’m all for it.

Oh, and make “spring” break be over.

These kids are driving me insane already.

And, as was stated in my previous post, spring is nowhere to be found.

It just started snowing…again.

And as crazy as life is, sometimes you just have to laugh at people.

Like my icky neighbor.

He actually made me laugh out loud today.

He put some signs on his fence.

Signs for a towing company.

Yeah, those…yanno…the ones that say “unauthorized vehicles will be towed at owner’s expense.”

Yeah…those.

A few problems…dork boy….

1. The towing company cannot tow cars that are parked on a CITY OWNED STREET. (I know…I called to ask) Only the police can do that.

2. You do not have any claim to the street parking in front of your house. Again, city owned…people can park there all they want and there is nothing you can do about it.

3. Posting those signs like you did is illegal.

4. YOU DON’T HAVE A FRIGGIN CAR SO WHY DOES IT MATTER IF SOMEONE PARKS THERE?!  It’s not like they are taking your “spot” or anything.

So, to my idiot neighbor…thank you for the laugh.  I needed that.  And yes, I will laugh louder when the cop shows up to tell you to take them down.

I might even point and laugh.

I think it is so sad that he has nothing better to do with his life than to try to inconvenience his neighbors.

Problem is, he keeps breaking laws to do it.

Obviously the idiot hasn’t learned the fine art of passive-aggressive subtlety.

The poor, poor little thing.

You just can’t fix stupid.

You can, however, watch an officer knock on stupids door and tell him to take the darn signs down.

And then, you can watch him take them down.

While you are talking to the officer on the phone, while he’s watching him take them down.

And maybe, just maybe, your day will be a little brighter.

I know mine is.

<evil grin>

Anyway…please pray for my mother-in-law.  and her hubby too. They need a lot of prayer right now.

And hopefully, my crazy life will be a bit less crazy for awhile.
