Pulling into the motel was by far the best part of the day. I could see some of my family had already arrived and were enjoying the lake and out door seating area. Looks pretty nice I thought , the kids are gonna love it. So as I parked I told them to remain in the car until I got the keys to all the rooms then I would let them go swimming. Which for most of them would be their first time swimming in a lake. Because 4 of them have had previous ear surgery swimming in a lake with all those microscopic amoeba floating around wasn't a good idea. So I bought earplugs and decided one week-end wouldn't hurt. As I entered the office I was met by a seeming lovely older lady who was very welcoming. I told her I had 6 rooms on reserve and gave her my name. She asked for my Visa and gave me 6 room keys. As I was signing the authorization for 775.00 to be charged on my account she looked at me, raised one eyebrow and said, "If your children don't behave you will be asked to leave but your money will stay here". I was taken aback and if I could have gotten another 6 rooms elsewhere I would have told her to f*** off right then and there. But because there were no other rooms available I just said, "My children are well behaved but they are children", and I walked out of the office.
I was seething as I got back into the car to park by the rooms, but keep my mouth shut for fear Steve would go in and have it out with the witch. We found all the rooms and started assigning them, 2 little kids 2 adults kids to each room. As we entered the rooms we found their "air conditioners" to be cheap box fans that fell over when you turned them on. The bathrooms had mold in the tubs and the shower heads spit water at 20 second intervals. The carpets were all lumpy and wet and each room had it's own welcoming committee, a very large family of mosquitoes waiting for their dinner to arrive. As I opened the door to room 14 I notice the room was dirty, unmade beds, dirty towels and defiantly not vacuumed in a long time. So I went back to office gave the old hag the key and politely told her the room was dirty. She apologized and said it would be cleaned immediately. Now this was all the interaction I had with the office during the entire week-end, never saw the woman again thank God.
We had great time at the wedding and the kids enjoyed the swimming but I was still very pissed off that this woman had made such a comment to me. I couldn't wait til check-out time!
Sunday morning after getting everything packed into the vehicles and once again counting heads, I told my family what she had said and that I was gonna have a little chat with her upon leaving.
With 6 room keys in hand I opened the office door to see that smiling old b**** looking at me. I told her if I could have gotten rooms some place else I would have left the night we got there due to her remarks she made to me. She said," I didn't say it like that". I told her it didn't matter how she said it she should have never made that remark to me. She didn't know me or my kids. To which she accused me of being rude to her all week-end. I said, "I haven't seen your ass all week-end". She told me to watch my mouth. To which I replied,"EFF-you b**** and your place is a dump with your pissed stained mattresses and stinky room". And I left, but not before I yelled out the window of my truck, "This place is a dump, f***-you", as I was flipping her off.
Now I know my behavior was totally inappropriate considering I did have small children in my car but she messed with the wrong woman. Don't ever think because I have lots of children that they are automatically going to misbehave and even if they do don't threaten me. Cause at the end of the day they are all mine and they are all perfectly children.
