safety reminder

Got an email from Match.com this morning...thought I had unsubscribed but I guess they just couldn't resist. The "funny" thing about the email, it wasn't a "hi-we miss you! we have some more perfect matches for you!" like the last, it was a SAFETY reminder. Yeah, apparently folks need to be reminded that there are some crazy birds out there and sad, pathetic, lonely, single folks are a perfect target for scammers and pervs...fabulous. It's been bad enough killin' my own spiders, NOW I have to watch out for scammers and pervs...and emails from Match.com, crap. The email came on the heels of a pretty shitty morning so I probably overreacted a bit, I'm sure happy fun me would have just laughed and deleted it.

Have you ever noticed that a five minute delay getting out the door in the morning can lead to a fifteen minute delay in getting where you are going. It's like everyone decides to cut out at exactly the same time and if you can beat them you are golden, if not, you are screwed. Usually on Mondays and Wednesdays I leave the house between 6:25 and 6:30...I don't hit a single red light, hit any traffic or even see, much less get behind, a bus. This morning I pulled out of the garage at 6:33...I hit EVERY red light, got stuck behind TWO buses and ended up 15 minutes later than I usually am for work.

The Pea was not a happy camper when I left her this morning, and that never helps...it seems Wednesdays are our toughest days. Tuesday nights we get very little time to reconnect and the morning is crazy and she just doesn't want me to leave...not that I want to, but unlike her I understand if I don't, we starve. She still doesn't understand why I have to go to work all of a sudden. She likes school and is adjusting well, but she has said to me on more than one occasion that she would like it better if I did not go to work and stayed with her at school...talk about a kick in the gut.

Ok, enough bitchin'...time to get busy, eyes open for scammers and pervs, a girl can never be too careful ya know.
