Plea to Insurance Companies

A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard that affects the environment, and leads to environmental, financial, and/or human losses. Currently, Insurance Companies classify these as Floods, Tornadoes, Lightning, Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and other “Acts of God.”
I am writing this letter to request that toddlers be added to this list.
Toddlers have a tendency to flush things such as Mommy’s car keys, Daddy’s Cell Phone, and Nerf Balls down the toilet. This causes flooding, often severe in nature, leading to financial loss and at a minimum, the contemplation of loss of human life.
Toddlers are human tornadoes and earthquakes combined. They have the ability to turn a perfectly clean and presentable room into a disaster zone in mere seconds. Having tripped over the results of these human explosions, I can assure you that they result in human losses. Broken toes, at a minimum, and hey, that’s a loss for this human.
Volcanoes. Give a toddler an ice cream, and then let them run around the house. Yeah. Enough said.
Since every child is “a blessing from God”, I firmly believe they can be classified as an “Act of God”, as well.
In closing, I would again like to express my wishes that Toddlers be added to Insurance Coverage under the “Natural Disaster” clause.
And if you can’t do that, can you at least fix my laptop? It was struck by lightning. True Story.

I'm a horrible blogger.

The thing is, I want to blog. I REALLY do. I just suck at updating....and when I do want to, it turns into a bitch/rant. Because, you know, there isn't enough of that on the internet already.

Social commentary aside, I do actually have a whine fest going on right now, and this seems like as good a place as any to do it.

So, outside my apartment, they're doing construction. This has been going on FOREVER. Months. And it's the absolute worst right now, because the entire opposite side of our parking lot is BLOCKED OFF.



I know this doesn't SEEM like a big deal, but it so is. There are a LOT of people who live in these buildings, and so there's a battle for parking now.

And the funny/bad thing is, I would rather leave my van parked in the best spot and walk everywhere I need to go than risk loosing my "awesome parking spot." I just realized how ridiculous that is.
