Tell Me on Monday

Monday, June 15th 2009

On this fine Monday morning, I feel like ticking off a few things that I’ve discovered about myself recently. As usual, I’d love for you to add your own.

1. For 35, I’m doing/looking/feeling alright for the most part. The rest, I’m happy to keep covered.
2. I can give more and it makes me feel good to do so.
3. I am an adult teenager raising an actual teenager. I have no idea how that’s going to turn out.
4. It completely sets me off when another driver points at me when I make a driving mistake. Believe me sir, if I almost just killed myself, it was on accident. Giving me the For shame hand gesture just makes me want to stop my car and jump on the hood of yours.
5. I may actually be a cat person.

Now it’s your turn.

wtf

Lookie what I found!!! Can you guess? If you follow me on twitter, you already know.
(And if you don’t, why the hell not?)

I’ll explain how I dealt with this as well as the other new happenings in my life later. If you follow me on facebook, you know I’ve got a lot going on.
(And if you don’t, why the hell not?)

Have a great weekend! xo

Yes, I Brought Enough for the Whole Class

(That’s called belly sweat, ladies and gentlemen. Don’t mock.)

Would you like a muffin?



Speaking of class, are your kids out yet? Mine have 7 more days and I feel like I’m the last Mom on the planet with children still in school. Very not fair.

You Can’t Have Your Child

Monday, June 8th 2009

EXCUSE ME????

When anyone tells a parent (me) that they can’t “get to”, “pick up” or “have their child right now” an unreasonable and somewhat violent feeling surfaces (in me). That person may very well be right, enforcing the rules and doing their job but telling a parent, on a school night, that they (me) can’t have their child right now even though that child has finished performing in the recital and it is already past her bedtime and there is still over and hour left in the bloody program can (did) result in that parent (me) causing a minor scene until a small crowd of other bulldog backstage mothers backed her up.

I knew I was outnumbered and I knew I was trying to break the rules (each child deserves the same audience and recognition….blahdadeeblahblahblah) but I was TIRED. And I wanted my child.

And if she (the lead bulldog) didn’t have all those hip-hop moms (yes, these were actually mothers who performed in the recital *roiling eyes as I type*) behind her, I would have taken off my shoe and smacked my way through Jerry Springer style.

But, alas, I was outnumbered…

My girl rocked though…even if she had to wear her least favorite color (pink)
and dance to her “nemesis” (Hannah Montana).

PS - Bulldog, you’re on my list.

Let’s Get This Straight

Wednesday, June 3rd 2009

Help me out here. I find myself getting annoyed and wanting to correct people who, in my mind, say these things wrong…but maybe, just maybe I’m the one who needs correcting.

1. If you have written on your online journal today, do you say:
A. I wrote a kick ass post today.
B. I wrote a kick ass blog today.
C. I don’t know what an online journal is, you dinosaur.

*My Answer (if you care):
A. One does not write a blog every day. That would be like writing a book every day. A blog is a collection of posts so although you may blog daily, you do not write an entire new one each time the sun rises and sets. Capiche?

2. What is the past tense of tweet? Example: “Did you see what she ______ last night?”
A. Tweeted.
B. Twitted.
C. Twittered.
D. Twatted.

*My Answer (if you care):
A. (or maybe C) Although, on Twitter, there may be twits and twats, we don’t use the terms as past tense verbs. At least I don’t…for Chrissssssake.

3. Can you “Facebook” someone?
A. Yes, it means you contacted them via facebook.
B. No, that is crazy talk.
C. I think I read about that in Kama Sutra.

*My Answer (if you care):
I am hearing this more and more lately and my answer is IDK. Please, please, enlighten me.

4. On Facebook, is it okay to be friends with your children’s friends?
A. Sure, that way I can spy!
B. Hell no, never cross the streams.
C. Only the ones who sell pot.

*My Answer (if you care):
B. Sorry, but I think that is sooooooooo tacky. Except for C. (KIDDING!)



Alright…let’s hear your wisdom. And if you think of anything I forgot, please add that as well.
