Old and Grey
Last night I got my hair dyed. I decided that since I was going back to work at the ‘last year place’, that I didn’t want to look older. I probably do look older but I didn’t want to look grey-er.
So I got my hair trimmed and I got them to colour it a dark brown with a permanent dye so that maybe my hair wouldn’t keep turning that funny reddish/orangish/brownish colour that it seems to keep going all on its own.
I’m supposed to go back for highlights on Saturday at 1:00 although I really can’t afford it. Oh, and speaking of not being able to afford things, I opened my mail tonight and there was a bill from the 407 ETR (toll highway for those of you not in Toronto). Apparently my son had to take about 5 trips on the toll highway. And so, because he’s driving one of my cars, IN MY NAME, I now owe about $50 to the 407.
Isn’t that fucking wonderful. It’s not enough my son owes me over $1000, but he can now afford to take toll highways as well. I called him and asked which night he planned to drop by (to start making weekly payments) and he didn’t know. I have been expecting him to start paying $100 a week, and so he finally said he’d meet up with us at a family get-together that we’re supposed to go to on Saturday.
He said he’d bring $100. Well, what about this other $50? (ask I). Silly me, he’s got other bills to pay. Hmmm, I know that feeling… I have other bills to pay, bills that would be a helluva lot easier to pay if I wasn’t caught up paying for someone else every time I turn around.
I’m thinking that I’d advise people everywhere not to have kids. Why do you want kids anyway? The reasons you think you want kids are never what will happen in real life. So don’t get disappointed, just don’t have kids.
And for all of you out there thinking that I’m cruel, here’s the little codicil… yes, I love my kids. I can’t help but love them. But that doesn’t mean they don’t piss me off and seem to want to take me for all I’m worth (and a helluva lot more than I’m worth).

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
This is why I like other people’s kids. You have fun with them, maybe get them the occasional birthday or Christmas gift and thats it. The best part about my system, when you get tired of them you can send them home back to their parents
All the good stuff with out most of the headaches!
