This is my new saying, you can't fix stupid, no way, not gonna happen. What is at issue here is the trial I am about to embark on. The date is October 1st and what is the central question is my statements. For some stupid reason the A.F. doesn't understand my statements. He disagrees that he owes me money and also disagrees that he ever received product from me on 2 shipments. There are 2 tickets which are in his handwriting which he says he doesn't owe for. Now isn't that stupid???? All I can say is you can't fix stupid, not gonna happen. I have tons of evidence and a red headed lawyer that is gonna eat his lunch. He will be puffed up like a toad frog and the judgment will be for the Plaintiff - ME. I really can't believe it has gotten this far, but it has, so here we go. I hate that it has gotten this far because I have to call witnesses to trial that I would not otherwise want to call. One of which is my smart and funny bookkeeper Trish and the other is my supplier from Lee's, Greg, that I really don't like so much. But he is a material witness, so my lawyer says he should be there. I will be the main one on the witness stand and that makes me nervous, even though I know I am in the right, it still makes me uneasy.
But you still can't fix stupid, no matter how you look at things. And I will have to hold my tongue from saying that. Pray for me..........
Mr. Man had a scrimmage game last weekend against North Forrest and Sacred Heart won 22-12. Mr. Man made some wonderful plays. He is quite the athlete. He gets that from the Manning side of the family, not mine. We start the regular season this weekend against Sumrall on Saturday. It should be fun. Then we have Walker's birthday party, which I have had to talk Mr. Man into going to. He thinks he is a bully and will end up in Juvie. Walker is on the football team also and Mr. Man says during practice Walker has to sit out almost every practice for breaking some sort of rule. GeeeWizz, that doesn't surprise me one bit. See, you really can't fix stupid. No matter how many times he gets into trouble, his behavior repeats itself.
Mr. Man was in big trouble with me last night. We went to church and he acted sort of wild. Then when we got home he was still on his roll. I had enough. After telling him about 6 times to turn the TV off and get in the shower, I grabbed his hair and drug him into the shower. He spent his shower time crying and saying how he hated me. I may have over-reacted, but he was on my last nerve. He has the tendency lately to lolly-gag and that drives me crazy. I run my life by a finely tuned clock and I like that punctuality in my life. I wanted to tell him "YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID". You would think that after 6 or so times of telling him something, that he would come to the conclusion that he would be in trouble. The ping pong paddle is missing in action, so I used the next best thing - GRABBING HAIR. That generally is just as effective. Then I felt guilty (just a little). But we snuggled in bed and he didn't hate me anymore.
So the moral of the story is no matter what, and no matter the circumstances, you just can't fix stupid folks.
It's a Wonderful Life!
Peace!

I wouldn't feel guilty. At least twice a month, one of the girls says that they "hate" me. That's a sign of being a MEAN MOTHER!!
Have you ever read Dear Abby/Ann Landers defintition of a mean mother?? They're the ones that don't let their kid go to juvie.
When one of the girls says I'm mean, I just smile inside b/c that's what I want to be. Come to think of it, it's about time to be called mean--humm. Love ya TIna

Stupid is as stupid does. The absent father knows all and sees all and still will not acknowledge all.
He'll get his. Don't you worry.
And all boys need to have a knot jerked in their heads from time to time. Even big boys like me. So you do whatever you need to do with Sam and know that you're a great mommy.
But don't let him and Walker be alone. I've been in juvie all because of boys just like Walker!

"Here's your sign."
Yea, A.F. needs a sign for sure. Sorry I can't be there to lend moral support, but know that you are in my prayers.
As for Mr. Man, he's one luck boy to end up with a mean mommy, some kids (AKA Walker) just aren't so luck)

You CAN fix stupid by posting another entry in your wonderful blog!

I have to agree with Keith. You need to post a new blog, and quick. I need a Debi Fix.

You can fix stupid. You take his ass to court and sue him! Oh wait, you already did that, and won!
