Still Growly

Yeah, so that new registration I got from the courthouse yesterday that I had to pay money for a new copy of and that is an official government document?  Not good enough.  Hello, people!  How many freaking hoops do I have to jump through?  It's one thing if it doesn't cost me money, it is another thing entirely if you make me waste money that I did not need to waste.  Not that I didn't have it, but that is not the point.  The reason I have it is because I don't waste it on unnecessary crap! *sighs*

So in the end, they wanted exactly what I tried to do the first day of all of this mess.  A notarized affadavit from me and my mother stating that this is the legal residence for both kids.  Of course by the time the day was done, the high school was closed.  But the elementary school was still open and the principal was still there and T has been accepted as a student.  So one kid down, one to go.  First thing Monday morning I'll be down at the high school with the second affadavit.  Freshman orientation is on Wednesday.  If they screw this up for my daughter in any way, shape or form, I will be the parent they dread, because if you make me jump through 27 hoops and then still mess it all up you will find a very unhappy Lisa.  Basically, like Dr. Banner says, "Don't make me angry.  You won't like me when I'm angry."  I'm pretty sure I won't turn green and bulk up, but it will still not be a pretty experience.

I wish Chris was home.  He is so much better at putting up with official BS than I am.  He won't come in until Wednesday and I have to drive down to SeaTac to get him since our local airport is closed for remodeling.  I hate driving in Seattle traffic, but it'll be night traffic and not rush hour so it shouldn't be too bad.  His plane gets in around 11 at night, and it's a straight shot down I-5 from my house.  I'm bringing my MIL this first time because I'm nervous about driving the strip between Everet and SeaTac even though I have AAA.  It should all be fine, but I'll be less anxious if someone who has driven the trip many times is in the car with me.

I'll be so glad when this week is over.  Three of my nephews have been spending the week with us (technically Mom, but they are here in our space, too) and the youngest one (13)  wakes up talking and does not shut up all day long.  Worse yet, he talks over other conversations so you can't hear what other people are saying because he's just yakkity yak yakking away.  And he's boring as all get out.  Even if you tell him to shut up (nicely or not nicely) twenty seconds later he's talking again.  He gives me a serious headache and I can't hear myself think.  I'm just glad it's a big house.

I am so bored.  Someone please write me some fluffy, romantic Doctor/Rose fic.  Pretty please?  I keep trying to write but my brain can't get quiet enough.  Though I do have 1000 words on the smut-a-thon fic if I don't decide I hate it before the night is over.   Oh, well, back to it, I suppose.  Well, maybe after watching Burn Notice and reading a bit more of The Forest of Hands and Teeth.  Talk about your post-apocalyptic fiction.  It will probably get a proper review when I am done.  It is pretty interesting and dark and thematic, but I am not quite halfway through yet.  I stayed up reading it last night until my eyes were closing of their own accord which I think is a good thing in a novel, but not quite so much in the "I need to sleep at night" aspect of my life.

Cool, thanks for the update. I see you've already started posting the bingo fic now. Hopefully I'll get a chance to read it. I'm so far behind on my writing schedule.
