Today will be a regular day like the rest. Work, homework, dishes, laundry, sleep.

I had two tables at work yesterday, and after I bought my own lunch, I came home with six bucks. The van was on empty, so I dug through my heavy wallet and was able to come up with $60.00 for gas...$45 of it was in change! Not dimes and nickels, but toonies and loonies and about five bucks in quarters. I put it all in a plastic bag and went to crappy tire for some gas. ( I had the coupon for 4x CT money also) When I went in to pay the girl, I apologized for all the change, but the woman was a bitch about it. She counted it out bit by bit, putting handfuls of change behind the counter where I couldn't see it. She says that I only gave her $58. By this time, there were two people in line behind me. I had to borrow a toonie from my son who luckily came in to buy smarties with his own fortune. It pisses me off that I was ripped off for two bucks. If the chick didn't have an attitude, I wouldn't have minded so much.
Just picture it...Me with no make-up, my hair tied back, sweats, a dirty jacket, a coupon and a plastic bag full of money. An eleven year old who saves the day. Dirty looks from everyone in the kiosk. It was a classic white trash moment.
