I have blog duties tonight, not sure what to tell ya about. Jacob went to the eye doctor today, his eyes are doing well, only the right eye changed and very little. The doctor said we could even keep his current lenses and he would be fine.
I can tell you that I am tired. Jennifer had to work late so I had the kids by myself tonight. It went very well, did dinner (skipped baths) and played some board games. We are technology free this week, well the kids are, or this post wouldn't be happening huh. We got to bed time and everyone in their beds, no problems, read to Joshua and fell asleep kneeling on his bed, then Layne came and woke me up to lay down with her. Fell asleep in her bed only to have Joshua come back and get me to lay back down with him. Fell asleep with him until 11 and my back won't let me forget it. Then came downstairs to talk to Jennifer while she was on the computer, and fell asleep some more.
Jennifer did get cut off and pushed into the guard rail coming home from work! Some a-hole in a beemer tried to squeeze around and cut in on the merge onto 400. Jennifer is ok, sounds like the car got a bit scraped up, I'll look at it in the morning, just can't see much at night.
Are these high end car owners promised something when they buy these luxury cars? They must have been told that because they spend more than the average adult on a car, that they have the right of way at all times and can do as they please on the road. I am saying this because I had a similar situation to Jennifer's, and again, it was a BMW... We are all sitting where two lanes merge and I am at the very point where the merge has happened and it is down to one lane, and in the side mirror I see the guy pull out of the line where he has been waiting (like we all have been doing) and drive past five or six cars and then try and get past me. He is of course on the shoulder at this point. Well, I just keep driving and so does he, like I was supposed to just stop and let him in. I lay on the horn, and Jennifer can tell you I never use the horn, NEVER. So he honks back at me like I am really screwing him over and I have done something wrong. In this situation I usually push the issue, but then let the jerk over (I know sad that this happens enough that I'm used to it), but I had this guy and I wasn't letting him in, plus we were coming up to a bridge and that shoulder he was driving on wasn't gonna be there. If he wanted to hit me, so be it. The kids weren't in the car, at that point I didn't care. He relinquished and darted in right behind me, riding my bumper, honking and flashing his brights for about half a mile or so. Usually in that situation you might pump the brakes a bit, make them even madder. I just made sure I had lots of space between me and the line of cars in front of me, just a nice leisurely pace. I was hoping we'd get to a point where he'd be next to me and I could just wave at him, but it never happened. I made a turn and he was left way back in traffic trying to figure out why I didn't know the "Always yield to BMW" rules.
Guess I'm awake now, huh
