My Single Mom Life

The teens are officially on school vacation for the Christmas and New Year holidays, and will be home for 18 consecutive days in a row.
18 days of sleeping in late.
18 days of bickering with each other.
18 days of eating everything that isn't nailed down.

It's ok though, now none of us have to get up early, so that totaly works for my insomnia issues.
If I'm wide awake until 2-3am, I won't have to worry about getting up with them at 5:45am every day, and then being awake all day and night again, I can just let my body sleep if that's what it's going to do.

Sebastian and I ventured out today to go to Walgreen's to pick up my meds and then to Publix to get some food and stuff.
We've opted to have a different kind of Christmas dinner this year because I still can't cook a whole turkey and stuff with my neck like this, so we'll be eating some super easy foods and just having a really casual holiday meal
I bought 2 big bags of chicken wings, and we'll be doing a combo of hot and some honey bbq, some french fries, and other really easy type foods.
Hey, the teens got their turkey for thanksgiving even though it was just thighs and wings, so we're going for ultra casual and fun.
The teens are totally happy with this choice, it was their idea, so I'm totally ok with it.

While at the store, I got slammed into by this crotchety old man who yelled at me to watch where I was going.
What?!
He slammed into me, yet he's yelling at me?
Um, no.
But I can't help being all sarcastic, so I turned to him and said, "I am SO so SORRY that I was standing here picking out some apples when YOUR cart slammed into my backside. Please sir, forgive me for standing here."

He looked at me, looked at the neck brace around my neck, his wife grabbed his arm and pulled him back a little with this look on her face like I might haul off and deck him, and believe me, I was thisclose to doing just that when he had the nerve to yell at me, but I didn't.
Sebastian tried to pull me back, he could clearly see that I was super pissed, and then the guy apologized to me, said he was sorry, he "didn't realize".

"Didn't realize"?
You mean he didn't realize that I was in the neck brace, or he didn't realize that he hit me?
I think it's that he didn't realize that I was in a neck brace and that's the only reason he apologized.
If I hadn't been wearing it, I think he would have just kept yelling that it was my fault, because I'm young and he's old and entitled.
I'm so sick of that kind of crap.
The seniors in this damn town are the biggest, the most miserable, entitlement assholes I've ever known in my life.
