Dr. Julia : Childcare

I nearly died today. In fact, I think a small part of me DID die today. I'm too angry to re-type this, so I'm going to post the Facebook message that I sent to my sister, describing my fury.

______________________________________________

OMG. You will NEVER guess what happened today.

So I'm at work. Travis is taking a shower & got his Mom to watch Emily. Well he starts hearing Julia yell "Emily! Emily!" really loudly. So he comes out & apparently Julia lost my daughter. So Trav started yelling for her, too. Emily WENT OUTSIDE by herself. But, NO, it doesn't end there.

Not only is Emily OUTSIDE in the FRONT YARD BY THE ROAD, she is only wearing her shirt. She took off her pants & underwear so she could POOP on the lawn. She was half way naked POOPING IN THE YARD. JESUS H CHRIST SOMEONE COULD HAVE SNATCHED HER.

Travis brought me dinner at the PD, brought Emily, and told me all about it. I about DIED. I am so royally PISSED at Julia. ONE - for LOSING my child. TWO - for Em for being outside unsupervised. THREE - for being so close to the ROAD, unsupervised. FOUR - for being halfway naked so perfect strangers could see her. AND LET'S NOT FORGET FIVE - POOPING IN THE FREAKIN ' LAWN.

I DIED A LITTLE BIT TODAY. SERIOUSLY.

Mom doesn't know yet. Don't tell her - I want to tell her.

But I couldn't help but laugh at Em pooping in the lawn. It's funny BUT I WANT TO KILL JULIA NOW. What if someone snatched her? Kids have been snatched in better situations. Remember that one girl who got kidnapped for like 17 years? She got snatched within eyesight of her parents, going to the school bus. She got snatched between the freakin' bus and both her parents. Gone! Emily was by the road, Travis said. I mean, not ON the road but closer to the road than to the driveway up by the garage.

Jesus. LORD HELP HER!!!!

I wanted to fuss at Julia, but Trav assures me that he already did. Plus I don't want to bring it up like "OMG YOU LOST MY KID - EFF YOU!" You know? If she says something, I'll say something like "Yeah thanks for keeping an eye on her. Good think no one snatched my kid." D:

I DIIIIEEEEED.

Dr. Julia : China

My father-in-law, Howard, occasionally gets to travel for his job. Last year or so, he and Julia went to Las Vegas.

Yesterday, she was telling me: "Yeah, Howard wanted to know if I wanted to go to Las Vegas. [laughs] I told him 'no'! I mean, I've already been to Las Vegas! [laughs]"

I'm thinking: Jesus, it's a free vacation! You stay inside your house 330 days out of the year and you don't want to go to Las-freaking-Vegas?!

Julia continues: "I want to go someplace I haven't been! Howard said we could go to China! [laughs as if that were a ridiculous idea] Can you believe him? China! I said 'Yeah right, Howard!' I don't want to go to China. You know, they think they're so smarter than we are. Their kids go to school year round - I think that's awful. Kids need a break, you know? Don't need to work all the time."

Then she says something that almost makes me burst into laughter: "Plus, I don't like the way that they talk. [shudders]"

My mother-in-law is so racist. She doesn't like blacks, Hispanics (she calls them all "Mexicans"), Chinese, Japanese, etc. Pretty much everyone who isn't white. Oh, but she also doesn't like "trailer trash" so even some white people are out because they "act black". It's so stupid.
