Yep, She Is Going To Lose It!

Mom is getting ready to throw a temper tantrum. I know the signs. Yep, she is going to lose it. She is twitching.

It all started around 10 am this morning. It's Friday and she wants to go get groceries so she doesn't have to mess with them this weekend. She hurt her back so she told Lola's Boy that he was going to have to go with her this time and help. She told him this yesterday giving him fair warning. So she gets up and is all ready to go. No Lola's Boy. Lola's Boy is still asleep. She wakes him up, he grumbles and finally says OK. She goes on about her business. Lola's Boy doesn't come out of his cave. She goes back 30 minutes later and he has gone back to sleep. She wakes him up again. So as to not bore you with repetition let's just say this happened several times. Finally she pulls out the threats. Lola's Boy can't go anywhere tonight if he doesn't get up and get moving. Now this is of major concern to Lola's Boy because there is a new girl on the horizon. Have to admit she IS a looker but I fear he is going to have to enjoy her beauty on the computer screen tonight if he doesn't come out from the depths of his cave soon.  Apparently he reaches the same conclusion and emerges from the darkness, eyes squinting at the brightness outside his lair, scratching as only a male does after waking from a long slumber and looking in general like something the neighbors cat spit up. Then he does himself in about right. Seriously, I thought the kid had more sense than he is displaying at the moment. He actually looked at the raving, ranting mad woman and said "I have to dry my clothes first", so she tells him to put something else on. Dumbo does it again and says "I can't all my jeans are in the washer". I am trying to decide if he is just not so bright or if he has a death wish. Possibly a combination of the two. I can only assume he didn't notice her eye twitching when he said the first stupid comment, otherwise he would NEVER have said the second stupid comment. I swear that boy and Lola are a good match!
So the jeans are in the dryer, Mom is stewing, Lola's Boy is fuming, the groceries are waiting and Cinderella is going to be missing her Prince tonight.   And me?  I feel like breaking out in song:


It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood, 
A beautiful day for a neighbor, 
Would you be mine? 
Could you be mine? 

It's a neighborly day in this beautywood, 
A neighborly day for a beauty, 
Would you be mine? 
Could you be mine? 

I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you, 
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you. 

So let's make the most of this beautiful day, 
Since we're together, we might as well say, 
Would you be mine? 
Could you be mine? 
Won't you be my neighbor? 

Won't you please, 
Won't you please, 
Please won't you be my neighbor?
