Screwed

Earlier today I was watching a clip from an interview with Nadya Suleman, remember her? She was the woman that was not so kindly referred to as Octomom? Well, Nadya now says, "What was I thinking? I screwed up my life, I screwed up my kids lives. Now what am I going to do"? SERIOUSLY?? Is she the only one that didn't see that train coming?



Look, I have no right to be the judge of this woman's choices, you know glass houses and all that crap, but she already had 6 kids. Shouldn't she have known how much work it is to raise even one child? I just don't get it.

Small Town News

This is an article in the Somerset Herald, which is our small town newspaper. Obviously, a proofreader is not in the budget.

My life is just perfect

Life is Good. Just finished dinner, sitting in the sunroom, watching the sunset. My wine glass still half full(not for long though). What could be more perfect? How about if my neighbors could get their two yappy dogs to shut the fuck up? Yeah, that would be perfect.

Did I mention that my neighbors are my parents? Yep, they liked the neighborhood so much, that they bought the lot next to us and had a house built. Perfect.

Random Tuesday Thoughts

I am afraid of turning into my mother. I love her, but the older she gets the crazier she gets.

Sara Palin is an embarrassment. Her abrupt exit from office, and the rambling speech did not shine a positive light on women in politics.

In the past few years I have had trouble sleeping. I went to the doctor for a checkup today and happened to mention my sleep issues. Now I have a prescription for Ambien. I can't wait till it's bedtime just so I can see if it works. I am a little concerned about the side effects though, especially drowsiness AND diarrhea. Not a good combination.

Infomercials are always more appealing at 4am. I wonder how many Ped-Eggs, and Snuggies were bought between the hours of 1 and 5 am. Thankfully, I don't keep credit cards near the bed and I'm too damned lazy to get up and get them.

My husband is a better driver than I am. I think the reason for this is all the helpful pointers I give him while he drives. That must be it.

It's Tuesday, so click the link below and visit Keely, the Um Mom. She rocks.

OMG,what is that thing?

As I was reading my DIL's post ( http://piecemealpeople.blogspot.com/ ) this morning about a disgusting, gigantic, mutant bug that was lurking on her front porch last night, I was reminded of something that happened here a few weeks ago.



As I mentioned, we have my daughter's dog for a few months. When John took her outside to do her thing, look what she found in the grass. I think it is a crayfish. Yep its a shitty picture, but it was moving, and I had no interest in being close to it any longer than it took to get this one picture.


How the hell did it get in my yard? We are about 2 blocks from the river, so it probably came from there. I hope it made the journey alone.

My Birthday Cake

In all the years I have known John, he has never ever made me a birthday cake. The first year we started dating, he did show up at my house the morning of my birthday with a twinkie with a candle. Corny maybe, but I thought it was cute.




So this year I asked him to bake me a cake. Happy Birthday to Me!!!!
