Please let me rant for a minute.

Gas.

Or should I say the bain of my existence these days?

It is ridiculous right now. Our local Citgo is now topping off at $3.77 a gallon, and that's for regular. Holy smokes.

My school bus- err I mean car-- takes over 20 gallons. I am not sure how many- possibly 24 or 25 gallons. Every time I hit the gas station I cringe. We've traveled out of town the last two weeks so the cringing has been in full force lately.

So- my rant. It goes like this.

This morning on the way to school (Riley's last day- ugh) I stopped at Citgo. I proceeded to fill up- Whoever invented pay-at-the-pump must have been a mom who always has her kids w/ her. Can you imagine schleppin' your kids into the gas station w/ you every time??? God no.

So I watched the ticker:

$22.36....$28.07...$33.20...$58.98....$67.12....$75.00

How convenient- it stopped right at $75.00. Those morons- or gas attendants- stop my pump at $75.00 EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME!!!!

DO THEY NOT REALIZE THAT MY SCHOOL BUS TAKES MORE THAN $75.00 TO FILL UP???????????

Please- for the love of God- give me some more gas. The last thing I want to do is reswipe my card and start again.

The one time I was flying solo and was able to go into the gas station to discuss this w/ the attendant he spoke no English. ARGHH-

I am about to call them up-

Anyway- my rant for the day is done.

Hope y'all have a good one.

Until next time...
