That’s it… I’m a crappy mother. I can’t do anything right. Nobody ever listens to me… Yeah yeah, I know, this is not true. I’m a good mum and I do my best and most of the time it’s enough, my kids are kind and loving and polite and intelligent and special and beautiful (on the inside, of course)
Hump Day Humour #23
It’s been a crazy week, and it’s only Wednesday….I’ve managed to avoid folding laundry for 3 days now so this kinda fits. I’m waiting for the day that the kids will do their own.

First Sandy, Now Athena……. These Bitches be Mad!
The North East has copped another pounding. Winter storm Athena has dumped record snow fall for November. 4 inches in Central Park. Some places received as much as 10 inches!

Hump Day Humour #22
With everything that’s happened in the last couple of weeks, I totally forgot it was Hump Day. We have a snow storm in the city right now…… So here’s to not going outside!
Here’s the Thing About Kids and Drinking.
It’s not a new problem, teens and drinking. I would imagine it’s been going on since the beginning of time….. The minute someone found out that you could get a buzz from fermented fruit, Ug and Glok, the teenage cave dwellers, were hiding around behind the bush, sneaking the elders’ fermented googleberries 🙂
