Parent's Curse

Every time I see someone that knew me as a little girl they always are surprised to see me as a productive adult. Most of them tell me some horror story about some dastardly deed that I involved one of their children in. Well I think that I have received the revenge that I deserve. The other day while I was getting our family ready to leave town for a few days, Remi was in the front room being so quiet and good. I was in other room quickly finishing up some last minutes things. I was actually excited that he was being so good. This never happens. That should have been my first clue. I snuck up behind the couch and peeked over to see this.


I definitely get the mommy award today.

Mi'Chelle tagged me or something like that. Anyway, I hope you brought a bed to lie down on and take a quick snooze because I have had a pretty booooring and uneventful life, hence the awe that I have for everyone else.

Four jobs I've had:
1. burger girl at a ball park-lots of cute boys
2. facilitator Ed-net (incredibily exciting- yawn yawn)

I do say

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."




Yah yah yah, as long as they are U.S. citizens. Apparently no one else matters.

Would you like a smoke?

I was reading today about health. Interestingly enough, I found out that men who smoke cigarettes do not enjoy sex as much as men that do not. At least for heavy smokers. Although I myself do not smoke, I can seen how it would be desired by some. I'll give you that, but for pity sake what about your love life?

Happy Freakin' New Year!

Another year has come and gone. La de freakin da. No I am just kidding. The holidays were crazy as ever. We spent Christmas at Stephen's mom's house with everyone in his family. It was complete mayhem. Then on Christmas day we went down to my parents house, (our families live in the same community basically) and opened gifts with them. This year Stephen got the day after Christmas off, amazingly enough. We had fun. Now it is back to work. Right now I am trying to get up the nerve to do my work. I hate the end of the year for that. People keep calling me with the stupidest question and I might scream, thank goodness for caller id.
