Okay, a lot of things chap my hide. Currently the thing that chaps my hide the most is the mess my kids keep leaving in my family room. I am host my first ever Christmas Party for the Bible Ladies tonight...I was going to say Bible Bitches, but that sounds wrong doesn't it ? I cleaned my family room...next day...the room was trashed. It makes me so angry, but quite frankly I have no idea what to do. My parents suffered from this as well. One time my dad was so ticked to find toys in the driveway, he just plowed over my tricycle and my sister's Big Wheels. It was horrible, my sister would drive that Big Wheel around cracked with rocks in it. It would scrape the sidewalk as she took it down the street. I don't think slicing socks in half is going to help. Anyway, things that tick me off about Atlanta....
#1) In order to register my kids for school they had to go to the county health department and get eye, ear, and teeth exams. Apparently, doctors in California are not acceptable. Also, you need to have the proof or residency notarized as well.
#2) In order for me to legally change my name I had to fill out forms, have those forms notarized, brought to the county court offices in Atlanta, and then wait a month and then have to appear in front of a judge. Your name change has to appear in a public newspaper for one month. Then that newspaper has to send you a notarized copy that it took place. It costs about $400 and then you appear in front of judge. I showed up last month to be turned away because nobody bothered to ask me if I had lived in this county for 6 months. All they care about is having everything notarized !
#3) In order to register cars with your spouse you don't go to the DMV. You go to county offices. You BOTH have to appear and sign the paperwork. If you can not do so, you need to give your spouse the power of attorney.
#4) I have never run into so many freaky people in my life.
#5) The produce at supermarkets is crap :(

Whoa, so many questions/comments! 1) Do they not accept transferred doctors records?? Weird! 2) You've been married 15 years...your name never got changed?? 3) OMG I can totally see your dad doing that!
What's your new name?
Gretchie-poo, you CRACK ME UP. And YES YES YES, the produce at the supermarkets IS crap. It depressed me for years to shop for produce in the south. And your neighbor didn't really name her son Ping Pong, did she? I am cracking up over her. Miss you.
It's time to invest in a toy rake. I use an outside rake to rake all the crap in one room into one pile, then I throw a blanket over it, lie on the couch and eat peppermint oreos.
