Attention Wisconsin Residents:

We have teeth coming in! I repeat, we have teeth coming in.

For those of you who have not heard her screeching, sqawking (it took me forever to think of how to spell sqawking), screaming and crying, you be the lucky ones this time. Actually she hasn't been too bad. She just has to chew on something ALL the time. I should clarify that statement so as not to be lying. She has to be chewing on a finger. Not any of her cute, chubby ten digits. No, either mine or daddy's or really anyone's. She's not a picky child. Just let her have the damn finger!! She gets really ticked off when you make her think she's getting your finger then she realizes hers made it in and you pulled yours back. Yeah, she doesn't like that game. I may need to invest in a couple more beach towels as the drool has gotten to tidal wave proportions. Is there a button on her that makes it stop? I've looked, can't find it.

I hate that I compare my kids and their progessions in growing up but I think it's just something that can't be avoided. Mom's of more than one know what I mean. Donovan was crawling at 7 months, Sophia's ready for boot camp at 5 months doing the army crawl. Donovan got his first tooth QUIETLY the day he turned 5 mos old and another one QUIETLY AS WELL a couple days later. Sophia? Let's just say quiet is not a word in her dictionary. I think Sophia will be walking by 9mos and frankly, I'm terrified. Very much so.

I Can't Wait

I know of no one who agrees with me that Jason Mewes is hot. This is a bad example and this is definately NOT hot. That's ok though. I remember the good, forget the bad. I make no excuses for my taste*. For fans of Clerks , Chasing Amy , Dogma , Jay and Silent Bob , etc , check it out: P.S. I've been working 'til 11 or midnight most nights so I'm pooped. I'll blog more. I promise. Was I missed though? * Or lack thereof to some people

This, That and The Other

I can already tell that Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to suck ass even more than it normally would at my job. Last night, a guy was telling me how much he gave me, how much he was supposed to get back and THEN told me what order to give it back to him in. Um? Sir? I'm not a twit, ok, I am a twit, but I'm not an idiot. Ok, sometimes I can be. Like that time I moved up to Wisconsin in the middle of a blizzard from nice, warm Tucson, AZ for a dumb boy and we broke up less than two months later. Yeah that sucked but my point is: I've been in retail, just about every job one could have except store manager, for about oh, 19 years. I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to giving change back. Don't talk to me like I'm a 16 yr old kid who's working his first job and doesn't give a shit what kind of work ethic he has. I care about you as a customer but when you're a dick to me and pissing off everyone in my line so they are dicks to me ? Well, ...

This Has To Be Said

I haven't blogged in 8 months. We bought a house, still unpacking, school started. You know, life. I felt the need, the urgent need to blog about the Adrian Peterson situation today. I am full of all sorts of feelings and had to write about it. I would love to hear your thoughts on this whole thing. No really, I would. I don't feel I was a douchebag in my writing so all I ask is you not be a douchebag in your response. Thanks. My thoughts on the Adrian Peterson situation (but first, some backstory): I was spanked as a child. I'm pretty sure most of us that grew up in the 80s were. Until the summer between 5th and 6th grade I lived in Charelston, SC and from 6th to 11th grade, North Chicaco, IL. I have seen every form of discipline doled out on a child. I've seen spankings, beatings, hairbrushes smacked into heads, spoons hitting the tops of heads, whips, belts and even switches. I've seen it all. Most of you know that my son is named after a little boy who ...
