SHOOT ME NOW!! I mean honestly, were the head honchos at the district office hittin' the crack pipe a little hard when they decided this??? Who gets a random week off in February?? A day or two. Fine. I can deal. Nothing a little McDonald's happy meal and some Wii games can't handle. But a week??? Those wretched heartless nincompoops! All this nonsense about furlough days and what not. BAH! You try spending a whole week with my children of the corn and then talk to me about furlough days! It's all about the Ritalin and Red Bull this week folks. Pray for me. Better yet, pray for my kids.
And speaking of folks hittin' the crack pipe a little too hard, take a look at this....

Let me begin by saying, I love a nice Louis Vuitton hand bag. But $54,000 for THIS?? That's not a typo... $54,000 PEOPLE! I just don't get it. I went to fashion school. I can appreciate avante garde, haute couture, and daring pieces...but really? I mean REALLY? Yikes.
But it's Monday and that can only mean one thing....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAYRA!!!!
i heart her...
Go on over and wish this amazing little lady and happy happy berfday!! And have yourself a great Monday while you're at it....











Happy Birthday to Mayra! And enjoy your week "off." Our Humble High School was just off for 7 school days in a row of forced leave (snow). I know the parentals around here were just lovin' it...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mayra!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain on the school break. We aren't on break but the snow is pouring down and isn't expected to stop for a few days. So I'm facing some forced togetherness too.
Good luck with the kiddies! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Lordie do I feel sorry for you--mine is only home today. Hang in there girlie!
ReplyDeletewow that bag is fugly!
ReplyDeleteone week off!!! why did it have to be one week off?? do you know how hard it is going to be knowing i am mere hours from you and not get to see you??? ugh!
ReplyDeleteand that bag is henious and anyone who would waste that kinda funds on it is an idiot...
and i may or may not be insanly cranky today becasue it is a federal holiday and i am one of the cools kids who doesn't have it off with my husband and kids...shoulda called in...
and of course a HUGE HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our banana girl!
Seriously ugly backpack!!! What are they doing? Recycling seriously ugly 70's suede jackets??
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
Wow, that bag is almost as horrendous as a whole week off school.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your friend!
ReplyDeleteThat is one atrocious and atrociously overpriced bag!
I feel for ya. I don't have kids, but I know how much my dogs drive me nuts when they don't get out.
ReplyDeleteok lets begin with the $54,000 purse that just crazy!!! and a happy birthday to its banana's!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou went to fashion school? sweet, I want to hear more about that!
ReplyDeleteWe just had close to a week off (with the snow for school) my advice stock up on lots of arts and crafts projects! The bag is just way overpriced...I love Gucci and LV but would NEVER put that kind of $ into a bag (that is a couple years of college) LOVE LOVE your blog and I am so glad I found it. Your writing is great and very fun to read!
ReplyDeleteI really had to look closely at that picture of the bag... at first I thought it was snakes hanging out out of it. What a complete waste of money... butt ugly too!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a Vday!!
That bag is so ugly! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThat bag is hideous, and that price is even more so.
ReplyDeleteYay for Mayra's birthday!!
A WHOLE WEEK?! ACK!!! well....the great news is that you rock at the whole mama thing ;) it will be an awesome week to remember :)
ReplyDelete...umm don't hate on my bag lady!! ;) kidding!!!
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEAUTIFUL MAYRA!!! WOOHOOO!!!!
one week can't be that bad if it means you spending a day in SF, close to me :)
ReplyDelete(see i look on the bright side of things. ha!)
holy bejeezus, that crazy looking homeless person bag is 54 G's?!?!! that's NUTS!!! who the heck is going to buy that redonk piece of trash? no thank you very much!
happy president's day my love. good luck this week and thank you MUCHO for the birthday love.
LOVE MY CHEESE!!!!!
Oh what fun! Just make sure that you do not give them any more bad milk so they end up sick! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know you went to fashion school... super cool. Any chance you could design some pajama pants for me or fleece tops that I could wear in public without being judged? Or mistaken for a homeless person?? I love my comfy clothes...
ReplyDeleteAnd $54,000?!?!?!!? Ludicrous... completely.
And prayers for the kids... and you.
Ummmmm... a week off in the middle of February? Super duper would NOT be a fan!! lol
ReplyDeleteI hope you make it though... alive... in one piece!
And yes, $54,000 are you kidding me? Insanity!
Have a good Monday lovey!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAYRA!
ReplyDeleteAS for school days off, little dude has 2 days this week off (BTW, that's as long as spring break is next month) Last week they decided they would host the spelling bee at his school since the other was too small (we didn't realize that before?!) so they let the dogs out after tree hours in class. Most of December and January we didn't have school because of the weather. But about 2 weeks ago as people were dying on the roads, yep you guessed it, we had school. I'm annoyed, I'm beside myself. Hold me. lol I mean I feel your pain!
Wow. That is something else. It looks like something I'd have seen at a crafts fair in the 90's with my grandma.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is so Fugly.
ReplyDelete54k for that barf bag? HIDEOUS.
ReplyDeleteWhen I went to my blogger dashboard it had your post up and a small picture of that purse. And I swear I thought that it was a straw hut from the outback. That is fugly.
ReplyDeleteI don't even think I could be persuaded to part with $54 for that pile o' crap
ReplyDeleteA week with the kids at home huh? Can't wait to read about the state of things come Friday :D
That bag looks like it has fishing lures all over it. IT IS HIDEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain on the school break, mostly because I was in town shopping and there was kids EVERYWHERE I was more than a little scared.
ReplyDeleteSE x
P.S Yuk to the bag :P
Ha. I thought the bag was some kind of military bag. I am not joking. Have you looked at Birken bags? $75,000. At what point does someone think that is an okay amount of money to spend on a purse?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the kiddos. What are furlough days?
:)
A week off in February? Selfish punks.
ReplyDeleteAnd that bag is the fugliest thing I've ever seen. I wanted to use the real words, but I feel like you don't swear excessively and I don't want to offend you with my gratuitous F-bombs. Just know that I was thinking it the whole time.
May the Force be with you during the week off.
Yea, that bag is just awful! The ugliest thing Ive ever seen!!
ReplyDeleteYour kids are off for a whole week? I feel for ya. Hope you stocked up on vodka!
That bag makes me feel seriously sick! What kind of overindulgent wanker would spend more money on that ugly piece of shit than what most people make in an entire year! Wrong on soooo many levels.
ReplyDeleteHope you make it through the week with your sanity!
i can't believe they have a whole week off!! oh and the purse is crazy cute but CRAZY expensive!! wow. well good luck with the kiddos :)
ReplyDeleteI could create something MUCH more appealing for a MUCH more consumer friendly price. geez!
ReplyDeleteYou went to fashion school? Can you be my personal shopper? I really need some HELP
You have got to be kidding on that bag, WTF. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteReally, why don't kids go to school anymore? I swear "when I was young" we ACTUALLY attended school for more than 40 days outta the year!? Are kids even receiving educations anymore? Teachers have it sooo good..OR on 2nd thought, NO actually they don't, cuz they have to deal with our bratty kids all day. (better them then us!)
ReplyDelete3 cheers for redbull and ritalin...lighting a prayer candle for u mama! stay strong....
Happy Birthday to you Mayra!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck this week, Alicia! I'm certainly looking forward to the posts it's going to inspire! :-)
ReplyDeleteHuh? $54,000 for THAT? I am baffled.
ReplyDeleteWhy do they have a week off?? That is bizarre! Yes, you're right that bag is ugly. WTF.
ReplyDeletehuh...that bag looks like it needs a haircut. A week off in February....I feel ya. We have year round school here...after 6 weeks the kids are off for 2 weeks..help me
ReplyDeletei could feel sorry for you because you get to spend some time with my adorable nephews and niece, i point out that it's not so much the bag that is an issue but the person who designed it, the one who agreed to produce it and worst...people who are acctually going to buy it...but no.
ReplyDeleteall i will remember from this post is that at 2am, 10am for me, you did NOT transmit some capital infoormation about Suri Cruise!!!
do you know how much i rely one you? Katie Price getting married. Alexander McQueen.
i don't have time to get the info. it is your job in our team.
still. i love you my wee rat...
Wow, a whole week could drive a woman to drink. In fact, I'll drive you to drink myself! Good luck-- can they play outdoors a lot? I'm hopin' so-- just sayin...
ReplyDeleteHi! I agree with you, that bag is hideous.
ReplyDeleteI'm so confused about the bag... 54,000>?????? what! What is all over it? Are they lamp chords? I am literally baffled.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is hideous.
ReplyDeletei hope you are surviving this week. HANG IN THERE!!!
ReplyDeleteGoodness. What is up with that week off? Bizarre. As is that purse. I'll stick with the $15 ones from Target.
ReplyDeleteHey Chica!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the latest ridiculous fashion update...seriously even if I could afford that bag, I am not a big fan!!
Smooches,
Sassy Chica
A whole week in Feb? What? That's crazy talk!
ReplyDeleteAre you even alive? It's been 4 dayz and no post? I'm feeling neglected. And btw I want to shoot that bag with a shotgun. It looks like a dead animal.
