You know what makes me mad?

The fact that Wyatt's Dad gets away with not paying child support.

Ever.

How does that work?

What a jerk.

Speaking of Wyatt, I'm mad at him too. He had me sign his progress report this morning and it totally sucked. I need to figure out how to make his education a priority to him. He is so focused on his artwork and creativity which I want to support and I do support, but how do I also instill in him the importance of science, math, and the english language. Not like I'm one to talk or anything, it's hard to stand on the soap box while being the poster child of poor choices, but maybe I could be an example of what not to do, but then I'm afraid I'd lose any shred of credibility that I may have.

Example:

"Wyatt, I dropped out of school and got married six times, but trust me, I know what I'm talking about."

Do you see my dilemma?

I need Oprah or Bill Gates to have a talk with him because I don't think I'm getting through.

 

Are you SO glad the election is over!!!

At this point I don't even care who won, I am just so glad it's over but I'm also SO mad that campaigning for 2012 begins tomorrow.

I think that all these jerks would be better off donating the money they spend on campaigning to the causes they support instead of on stupid commercials, yard signs and bumper stickers. Just think if all the campaign moneys had gone to the state deficits instead of down the toilet, or to the schools or the VA or homeless shelters or food banks.

I'm in favor of term limits and running on your own merits. That's what I call change.

Ok, that's all. I have to go to town this morning because...

I have to go to the bank.

And the grocery store

And the gas station.

And the post office.

Oh and what else...

Hmmm, I know there's one other place I have to go.

Oh yeah.

To my Mothers.

To get...

The computer she's giving me because she bought a new MacBook Pro so I get her old one that isn't even hardly old a shiny new (to me) glossy screen 21 inch backlit iMac!!!

OMG!!!

So now I'll have my tried and true heart of my heart air that I breathe iMac that my favorite sister gave me upstairs in my craft room and a sparkly new (to me) one downstairs!

I am the luckiest girl in the whole world :)

Except for that part about not getting child support and being married so many times.

 

Spare Parts

Well, it was quite a day, was it not?
I think we are living in amazing times and rather you voted for our new President or not, there is no denying something big is going on.

Ok , so now let's get on to the topic of me.
Yesterday I went to the lady parts doctor.
Do you have any idea how long it's been since I've seen a lady parts doctor?
Lets just say I left the last visit with a newborn and said child is now in the fourth grade.
It wasn't a shave your legs appointment, just a meet and greet.
I barely drop my pants for my husband after a romantic night of dinner in and a new netflix, I'm not about to drop them for a stranger when I have to make a co-pay.
Anyway, I think I like her and have agreed to see her again.
I imagine this could be an interesting story to follow.

Bart went to the dog parts doctor yesterday to "get fixed."

He's still moving pretty slow, and we haven't had much luck keeping the bag of frozen peas in place, but the pain pills seem to be working and we're all hoping for a speedy recovery.

It's kind of unfortunate to think that twenty five years from now when someone asks, "where were you when Barack Obama was inaugurated?" I'll have to try to remember if the dog was being neutered or if I was discussing my excessive weight gain, facial hair and the date of my last period with a stranger.

I mailed out the TrailerParks Friendship Blog Bread starts yesterday, so those lucky gals who rushed to get their names on the list should be receiving a little something in the mail soon!

Be sure to watch for some fun photos on Deb, Amy and Jocelyn's blogs : )

The Day After

A M A Z I N G.

Last night, I witnessed history.
It was an overwhelming experience that has changed the way I view my country.

I think John McCain gave the finest speech of his entire campaign.
He was calm, honorable and sincere, and I feel that is the true John McCain.
I admire him very much.

Last night I cried.
It was a cry that washed over me and took me by surprise.

We are the lucky ones.
To live in a time that will forever be remembered.
