You give me fresh life and vigour. (sic) Adieu to disappointment and spleen. What are men to rocks and mountains? Oh! what hours of transport we shall spend!

Click on those and tell me what you think of me. This is pretty scary as at least one person who hates me reads my blog. I had a hard time picking out the negatives. I had 12 and it was hard to narrow down. could probably have picked a lot more.

Have you seen my head? Its probably ran off with a wedding cake.

April 26, 2006 · 1 Comment

It dawned on me yesterday when I was wheezing climbing one flight of stairs that it was allergy season. I've been feeling punky since Sunday and couldn't figure out why. Well its the weather, the pollen, etc. I haven't had allergies kick up in so long I forgot what it felt like. The year I moved back from Germany it was so bad I wanted to die just to get relief.

I hate this, I feel like a 400 pound monkey is sitting on my chest. Its probably one of the feral monkeys that Cinnamon barks at hiding in Jeremy's room. I feel like I have pneumonia and I don't like it. I'm taking drugs, but cautiously cause they tend to make me high even in small doses.

Lets see, spaced out from the head full o' crud or spaced out from pharmaceuticals? Its a tough decision. Today I'm choosing chemicals.

 Also, apparently its wedding season to go along with allergy season. A wedding and a shower last weekend. a wedding and a shower this weekend, another shower, girls night out May 12, a wedding May 13 and a wedding May 20. and most of these are different people. I swear, people need a new hobby.

What they are learning in school these days

April 25, 2006 · No Comments

Last night Jeremy brought home "baby think it over" a life size doll that is designed to scare the hell out of teens. Its a requirement for graduation. I was forbidden to take pictures of my 'grandchild' or make any jokes. I did name it "use a condom baby" cause it makes them afraid to have kids. EVER.

 it was quiet intresting to say the least. First, it scared the hell out of me. It cryed like Chucky, no child of cat3_sol72_babies2.jpgmine ever made that highpitched wail of the devil. I kept waiting for it to say "feed me" in an unnatural voice. Or, "I want to play." in a voice that meant it wanted my liver.

 Jeremy's comments were interesting. "it eats for 45 minutes and is hungry again in 2 hours, is that normal?" (Yes Jeremy you and your brother were just like that.) "It has really fat cheeks, no baby has cheeks like that" (Yes Jeremy, your cheeks were fatter than that. Its really cute.)

We watched a manly Rambo movie and another post-vietnam hit so Jeremy's testostrone levels wouldn't dip. It was sweet to see my big manly son cuddle the little baby. But I'm not sure how realistic the experience is.

 See, the kids have figured out how it works. Jeremy removed the head (I know, don't go there) to see how it was made. He also did computer research to see how it worked. And they have learned how to make its head not snap back. (they have to put a key in its back when it crys and respond to its needs by feeding it, burping it, or changing its diaper. I guess its good to know how to keep its head from snapping back. (by keeping its arms above its head) but this baby is too big to have that wobbly a head and in a real baby you don't have to insert a key in its back to prove you responded to its needs. That gives you two hands to hold its neck while you feed it or do what ever else is needed.  The baby makes noises when it eats, burps and giggles, etc. They sound more realistic than its undead cry, but not really real.

 Also, since its not "real" they make jokes they would never make to real children and do things like leave it on the sidewalk while they run in the house. (Jeremy's friend Meagan did this and cried cause I joked she was a bad mom.) Last year I saw one at a basketball game and it got hit in the head with a basketball.

By accident, but come on. Isn't the point to teach them how to deal with a baby not find the easy way out? or is the point to teach them they NEVER want kids, demanding little shits that give no pleasure and wake you up all night? A baby doll can't really give pleasure unless you are  a child or "special." Also, one girl in his class is a MOTHER and she still had to take the stinkin doll home. Doesn't she know how to get up in the middle of the night? or do they just want us to have to listen to the wail of the undead at 2:32 and 4:35 and on and on?

Jeremy did real good about getting up in the middle of the night. I woke up every time and was afraid that he wasn't responding and I'd go in there and he'd be cuddling my grandchild. I told him it was just like a Lifetime movie. Ahh how precious.

Jeremy's baby was Asian, which fits since he may have an Asian sister someday.

April 25, 2006 · No Comments

  1. Be in a bad mood to start.
  2. Have an ill behaved, Ritalin deprived child push its screaming brother in a cart while its mother tunes the whole thing out. (if this happens just leave, cause she ain’t about to handle her kids)
  3. Expect a selection to choose from. (You’re not online shopping deary)
  4. Expect the racks to be in order.
  5. Expect the store dressing room to not look like a trash dump.
