“If it weren’t for my horse…” is what my husband and I say to each other when something has us so frustrated we’re beyond coherent words. (If you don’t know the reference, Google it + Lewis Black. Comedy GOLD. I promise.)
Ever just have one of those aneurysm inducing weeks? Well it’s been like that for a good while here. It’s all coming to a head with most of it behind us now. It’s amazing how telling people they’re wrong will relieve stress. It’s amazing how when the school tries to tell you how great the middle school is, all it does is reinforce that you’re doing the right thing by pulling your kid from the district at the end of the year (more on this and the mediocrity that is our school system later).
But today, without further ado, I give you Ryan, and the weekly link up. Ryan lets me get out all my frustrations when my husband has heard it all before, and/or when my husband needs a good laugh too. I’ll be honest. My husband isn’t above reading these and laughing and nodding in agreement with us even if he doesn’t blog or comment along.

I’d be tempted to photoshop the picture to include Ryan throwing the bird. Also, Tricare can suck it!

If I had better photoshop skills, I totally would’ve altered the picture. I can think of so many uses for this one though.
I wouldn’t have spent that year in college.
I love that bit! I say that too, and I love it when people get the reference!
I’m so sorry this is going on, but so happy you are on the downhill side of it.

Oh, wow, yeah, I can see why you say your week is aneurysm inducing. Seriously? They gave your kid food that came from a plant that uses at least 2 of his allergens? WTH?
Love the poster, though!

Yes, they completely missed the bold print after the ingredients that was the allergen statement. AND, it’s supposedly a nut free facility. The nut free facility part is what makes it particularly aneurysm inducing.
I love it! Your poster, not your week. Way to suck, school district!

Before I got to the bottom I was thinking to myself—His middle finger would have been appropriate!

WOW! Long week,huh? Love the Ryan pic, also Lewis Black is hilarious! Great line.

Oh honey, PLEASE do not get me started on the freaking Tricare. Just reading that made me start grinding my teeth.
I do love your Ryan though. Maybe he should massage your temples.

RIGHT?? It’s asinine what they will and won’t cover. And they wonder why everyone is so sick. An ounce of preventative measures would go a mile.
Sending HUGS. Some days instead of rain we get hit with monsoon weather, hope you’ve peaked in the yuck department for awhile and have some smooth sailing. Loved the Ryan picture you chose. I try to remind myself that the peeps involved in IEPs are real people trying to do their jobs, but I do want to smack them .
Except for the fact that it was that the IEP we had already written had been violated. Writing the new one was a breeze because they knew I have them by the proverbial short hairs.
That’s awful that they gave him something with 2 of his allergens. Ugh!
