Work With Me! Please?

Let's get dressed you two so Mommy can go vote. Can't make a difference in the world if you don't vote. Can't complain if you don't vote. No, you don't get to vote this time but I promise when you are old enough, I will go with you if you want. Let's get the double stroller so you guys can ride around instead of Mommy having to chase you down. No, Daddy went this morning, sorry kiddo. Please get in your carseat. No you can't sit in your brother's seat. You're too small. Monkey Boy! Get out of the road and get in the car! You can talk to the electrician later as I'm sure he'll be working on that when we get home in a couple hours.

Stairs? How the hell am I to get the stroller up there? Jesus Mary Martha. Well let's go guys, please stay by Mommy and hey! There's a car coming, hold my hand please. Well you can hold your sister's hand too. I'm sorry she doesn't want you to. I know. Life sucks.

Ok we're here. Sit over there guys. Here have some Spongebob candy. Sure you can have two. Mommy needs to register now because she never got around to it and hey! I found my driver's license. It was at work in with some pictures I keep there to show off the kids to regular customers. (Not regular like fiber regular but....oh hell, you knew what I meant. Didn't you?) No Peanut, bring Mommy's ID back. GET AWAY FROM THE FIRE ALARM!!!

Hi I need to vote please. Is there someplace I can corral these two since I couldn't use the stroller to contain them? No, I didn't know I could've parked in the back and come in that way. Since it said handicap only! But I get to use the handicap voting booth? Cause it's bigger? Electric border control there for the kids? No? Ok.

Yes! Mommy voted. Yes, those 17 I VOTED stickers look fab on you. Thanks for putting one in Peanut's hair. Let's go get Daddy's medication refilled (and Mommy needs to take hers). No you can't walk around the store. We're using the stroller for sure on this one.

No you can't have any of the following:
A Spongbob birthday card
A Halloween witch hangy thing
A $40 wooden airplane
A $4 toy truck with two cows in the back
The economy box of condoms - Mommy got those the other day
The South Beach Diet bars. You don't need a diet. You need a nap.

Oh the meds are ready? Thank God. Off to the evil McDonald's we go. Please tell me you'll fall asleep on the way there or back. Yes? Yes! Yes you can say hi to the guy at the drive thru window. Yes sir, there's a boy saying hi to you, please don't ignore him. You looked right at him. Say hello. H.E.L.L.O. It's not that hard, I promise. Bastard. Yes you can say hi to the next person. See? She's nice, she said hi.

Peanut's asleep, please stop screeching because you didn't get another Flushed person with a clock (compass) on his belly. Ok unbuckle, let's go inside. Now please. NOW!

Please eat. Stop yelling. Eat your nuggets. Stop blowing bubbles in the milk. Stop screeching. Your sister is asleep! SSSHHH!!! Good gravy train! Knock it off. Done? Good. Upstairs, Mommy needs a nap. You can watch BobBob and Gary.

Great. I can't get to sleep. Just FAB. U. LOUS.

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

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,

Get Your Motor Running

Something fabulous happened this week. Glorious even. Spectacular. Heaven Sent. (ok that one may be stretching it a bit). I am no longer a stay at home mom with the potential to go crazy because I can't get out of the house with the kids until the husband comes home from work and that could be 1pm or 6pm, it's a crapshoot. My husband has to drive all over the Twin Cities and the surrounding areas to see his customers for work. We have a gas guzzling Explorer that I love (minus the whole gas guzzling part of course). He's put a couple thousand (maybe three or four) on that thing since starting his job in Nov. I was griping to my therapist about how I feel trapped at home. I'm not me anymore. I don't know what I like anymore if it doesn't involve one of the kids. I hated that this was happening. Wow, I sure do go on tangents. (My ex once told me that he has to run mentally to keep up with me conversationally. So true) Last week, we up and got ourselves this bad b
