bloggers/boogers and no manners

Ok, so I am not a faithful blogger...why when I read that word do I always think ...booger? Yes, I forgot my password again.

Why is it that people think that it is ok, to send their children down to play at someone else's house with no phone call to say Hey is this ok, or are you busy? Yesterday one of the neighborhood monsters came down to play with my daughter, she also brought a friend with her. They banged on the door, rather than a polite knock, which of course got all my dogs barking and woke my son up from his nap. He has pneumonia so sleeping is a big deal here right now. Turns out that the little monster had a bug up her butt and really just wanted to show off for her other friend by cutting my daughter down and being an all around brat. After staying 30 minutes, getting me and the dogs all miffed, waking my son and insulting my daughter, they left. I asked my daughter why they didn't go to one of their houses to play, she said they were not allowed to play at their own houses. So in other words, I don't care what you do...just don't do it here. People are just rude. I am tired of being the kool-aid mom. What they never showed in those commercials was Mom A, B and C dropping their kids off at Mom D's house so they can go home and do what ever they want, leaving Mom D to have no life and being the neighborhood freebie babysitter. I realize that I am the only one who can change this and that I am going to have to just speak up and say...no they cannot play here, no I will not lend you the community pool key because you are too irresponsible to either keep yours and not lose it, or too cheap to spend $15.oo to get a new one, no I did not just go to the grocery store so that your children can have a snack, no I will not watch 4 of your children with 5 minutes notice for an hour or so because your mom has to go to the doctor, no I do not want to hear you gripe because your husband is being sued for paternity in another state and you are pregnanat with your 5th child. No your child cannot come into my house and climb the ferrets cage, break things and hit my son. I just don't understand people with no manners who want everyone else to raise their children for them.

On a brighter note, it is cooling off here, we just have 100% humidity...so I am ready for Halloween, finally. I am even ready to go get a pumpkin, it's just 4 days away!!!!
