Tis the season and a short vent

First off it's summer.. so yes it is time for swim suits. Unlike several of my friends I not just enjoy going to the beach, I actually enjoy getting wet there, as well as at pools. This year I've declared the need for a new suit. Yes last years(that's more than one year) suit still works (mostly) I deserve a 2nd functional suit.. I hit wal-mart tonight for other items and browsed. ummm.. people I've had 5 kids, I'm not wearing anything that doesn't cover ALL of my poor stretchmarked tummy. And WHO decided the little triangles for cups could get smaller???  After reading two other friends' blogs I've decided to hit Eddi Bauer.  I am lucky enough to have a store of theirs near my home. I have some time.. while our church beach bash is NEXT saturday the BIG event for the second swim suit is not until the beginning of August. I will celebrate 14 years of marriage that weekend, we are doing so by going to Catalina Island.  Parasailing, Scubadiving, Snorkeling, and assorted other activities of fun. We're saving a bit of funding by taking our bicycles with us for on island transportation.  I'm truly excited.. not just to get a "real" bathing suit, but to have a really fun place to wear it. hehe

Now my vent. I hit the P.O. as planned Wednesday when the time opened. I got there, waited 15mins. to be serviced, was informed I had an outdated form. While filling out the correct form another family came in. A very nice family, with 4 kids attempting to get passports, mom didn't speak fluent/clear english and there were issues. I waited, and waited. at 10:40 the employee informed me that he would not be seeing me at that time as he had to go to lunch. Excuse the $#@# out of me, I sat there for an HOUR waiting to be told sorry I have to go eat my pistrami on rhye. Needless to say I'm still pissy about it. And have not been able to get back there yet. I'm going to make every effort to do so tomorrow, BUT, my Darling Mom-in-law is picking up Drew at 10am. Drew is not fully packed.. and I learned this evening I have to follow Tim to the mechanic and take him to the car rental place as his cars' brakes are seizing.  UGH!!!!  And finally, I still have no clue who is going to care for my 4 children while I go to Ireland in 4 months.. that's not that far away. I am getting anxious about that.
