Prom was a disater

YAY PROM!! I am SO excited for it!  I worked 8 to 3 Saturday.  Up at 6 to take care of Zy and get  myself fed and ready.

At work ALL of our gas pumps were down so that hurt our income serious impact on our revenue flow im talking like 5000 plus dollars here people!!

Anywho, the guy came and fixed them was a professional from the company and not just some random maintenance guy.  He said there was a short in the wiring and our submerged pump (the part that actually pumps the fuel) was clogged and needed replaced.  He did fix it all though and now the gas pumps faster than it has!!  yay!

Prom:  HELP ME I NEED A SITTER!!!  ok we found  a sitter and we got a bag packed for Zy and we got ready for prom.

Garrett assured me i was going to love it!  That it was going to be super.  (I wonder how much of this was marketing ploy from him-a junior class sponsor, since the theme was, "under the big top")

We  got there and the valet service was only for the juniors and seniors...DUMB! last year they parked all cars. Note to all though-last year it was blizzard conditions and icy out this year it was all about the wind.

Anywho lets begin with dinner.   They asked what i wanted to drink so i went the safe route and said water, until i got to the table and saw that there was a "circus program" that included what was to eat and drink...and there was tea. SIGH i was hoping to get the tea but the servers never came back to refill our cups!! WTF?  -for some reason we were placed with a group of the teens instead of with the adults which was super awkward because they were so "tight" with each other they shared food and drinks they were also speaking in spanish to each other the whole meal.
our meal was bbq brisket, green beans, and mashed potatoes. even though the menu said there was potatoes au gratin and either tossed salad or blt pasta salad.  No dressings (which i dont mind because who wants to kill a salad with that?) but we werent given a choice, they ran out of tossed salads so we had to get the blt salad.  The plate of food was so small and served on paper plates. with beer stiens with mustaches on them for drinks. Not impressed. THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME MAD: this is the EXACT SAME MEAL THEY SERVE AT EVERY DINNER PARTY EVER IN THIS TOWN. like its the only thing they know how to make or something.  We were supposed to be able to choose cheesecake or peach cobbler but oh we're out of cheesecake so you only get cobbler. *roll eyes* how the HELL do you run out? the table behind us barely got any food at all. I didnt touch any of my food i gave it all to Garrett even though i was noticeably hungry -tummy was growling rest of the night.  They KNEW how many people were going to be in attendance, yet they ran out of food?  Im so done ugh.

At the dance:  the snack table was raided before it even started and everything was gone so fast that the sponsors who were actually in charge were a) baffled and b) pissed off.  WHAT THE HELL were you expecting with a shitty meal like that provided? i mean seriously?
there was a smoke/fog machine that would go off randomly and it was just weird. because kids found the controllers and were messing with it the rest of the night.  DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE BALLOONS!! have balloons will get high.  ugh.  And the parents and chaparones just laughed at it.  when a teenage girl gives a gradeschooler a balloon and says suck on this its fun, and the parent does nothing i feel so sorry.  Because everyone laughed after that like it was just so cute.  Maybe im blowing it out of porportion because i was mad that dinner is ALWAYS THE SAME MEAL, but i dont feel that that was either funny OR acceptable behaviour from all parties involved.

I wanted to dance because that was the actual fun part!  however there was a different dj this time and he wasnt playing dance songs really.
i stayed close to the door because they had the gym done up literally like a circus tent which made me feel very clausterphobic due to the lack of lighting and doors and open space.  They do this for prom every year apparently and for the snowball dance too. why block out everything why not just have an open floor?  last year it was bad too because i was pregnant and clausterphobic.
Everytime i mention somehting like this to garrett though he rolls his eyes and sighs like its really not an issue, but to me, it is.  Maybe its because i grew up in a large town that i cant stand half of this crap, or maybe its hormones, who knows but i really am not liking it around here as much as i used to
