Don't know whether to laugh or cry

My son and his best friend decided to go mudding this afternoon. My son, we'll call him dumbass 1, calls me around 6 to tell me his friend is stuck and they are waiting for another friend to come help pull him out. I say fine, you're on your own for dinner, we're shopping.

So, we've shopped, eaten, and are on our oblivious way home thinking everything is just hunkydoryabout 9 or a little after. We pass by the power lines, and I see a bunch of trucks down there. I look closer, and lo and behold, what do I see? Looks like my son's K5 buried in mud. My daughter is in the back yelling "that's Dumbass 1's truck!"

Call him, and guess what? It IS dumbass 1's blazer buried UP THE GODDAMN DOORS. But, he wasn't muddin, he was trying to get to his friend's (Dumbass 2) truck. Uh huh. Yeah.

Get this. They got Dumbass 2's truck unstuck from the other place around 7, so instead of coming on home, they decide to go somewhere else and go mudding. Now they're both stuck. Up to the damn doors.

We tried a 10 ton winch and two other trucks pulling at the same time. Didn't even budge either truck. They're getting a tractor out there in the morning and hopefully that will pull them out. It's so muddy out there, you can't get anything else in to try. I don't even know if the tractor can make it without sinking.

I'm so pissed right now it's not even funny. I can't believe after already getting stuck one time, they go somewhere else. And my son wasn't even stuck until he tried to help his friend. Or so he says. I want to believe him, and I guess I do. He begged all weekend to keep his k5 cause my husband had it sold. Promised he wouldn't put it in the mud. It didn't have any mud on it tonight other than what the wheels were throwing up trying to unstick it.

To make matters worse, they're right between two creeks feeding into a lake. He'll probably have beaver poo all over it in the morning.

Actually, I think I'm more pissed over seeing his new boots I bought him for Christmas caked in mud. Brand new dr martens that I let him wear early because he needed them.

And, I stepped into a friggin mud hole tonight wearing my sparkle panthers flipflops and ruined them. I was trying to get to dumbass 2's truck to see it.

My daughter has laughed her ass off tonight. She kept singing "I'm the good child" while we were out there. I bet my son has told me 50 times how much he loves me. Oh, and he reverted to calling me "mommy" instead of mom. I'm not the one he needs to be sucking up to, it's his dad. lol At least he wasn't crying like the other boy. In front of the marine recruiter who was also out there trying to help.

Hope you don't think this will be the last time it happens. And his Dad knew this was gonna happen, he is just pissed that it has caused him extra work while you are fuming over doc martens. Even though he is your son and you think he will do no wrong, keep in mind when you mix test Testosterone with one of the following then things WILL END BADLY:

-other testosterone

-half naked women

-women

-ALCOHOL

-Super Swampers

-Anything with wheels and Aluminum heads

-Guns while with Alcohol

-Tarp covered garage and laundry soap

-Skis Water/Snow

-Sprinkler systems while with alcohol

-Brazilian exchange chicks

-MUD/WATER

-Golf Carts left out at 4am at the local course

-Gas/Diesel/kerosene

-Drunk Chicks

-Trampolines

-Animals

Just a few, but keep in mind....if a mixture of anything above takes place, then you will find yourself with extra work, extra payments, or babies! Buy him every XBOX game he wants and lock him up or expect more nights like this

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
