Let's Have A Talk...

Ok, it's naptime. My children are not sleeping. Now, anyone who knows me KNOWS that I am the naptime nazi (fairly dubbed by BFB). The tv is turned way down, the lights are switched off, the ringers are set to silent, and signs are put on my doors (shhh, babies sleeping, please do not ring the bell). We take naps EVERY DAY. The four year old, the three year old, the 22 month old, and even the dog. Our activities revolve around naptime. We can play from morning until noon, or we can play after 4:30 or 5 p.m. Anything in between is OUT OF THE QUESTION, so don't even ask! My.whole.house shuts down during naptime, and we do this EVERY DAY!

(are you getting the picture yet?? I am indeed the naptime nazi!)

Anyway, a representative from our electric company came by to uninstall some insurance crap that we've been paying for every month for nearly two years, and it's something that we don't even need! Our warranty covers all internal wiring in the house. I do not need to be paying twice for this crap. So one year after making the phone call (no, I am NOT kidding), the dude finally shows up.

"Ok, remove the damn thing, PLEASE. But do not ring the bell because my kids are sleeping."
yes, ma'am.

ten or fifteen minutes later, the power goes out. my computer...caput! I marched outside and said, "that would have been REALLY good to know!" sorry, ma'am. "um, yeah, that REALLY sucked! I had my computer on!!"

"is it going to do that again?" no, ma'am.

the power comes back on, and every beeping thing in the house goes off. the alarms, the clocks, the radio, and the phone. mother ****!!

"ok, kids, get back in bed! I know you were already asleep, but naptime is NOT over."
kids are settled, my computer is STILL not booting up properly, and

I AM PISSED.

about ten or fifteen minutes later, I see him again and assume he's finally done and leaving us alone. Suddenly, DING DONG!!! (oh, I KNOW he did NOT just ring the door bell!!)

"Are you kidding me??!!"
um, is your computer working yet, ma'am?

"no! it's not! but my children are now awake now for the third time. and trust me, if my computer does not boot up soon, [electric company] will find out about it!!"

*why do people have to be such complete dumbasses?? This is one of the posts where I would have used my "f" allowances for the month, but I already spent them IM'ing my friend. So just enter them about six times in this post and you MIGHT catch a glimpse of just how pissed off I really am!!!
