Chuck is more popular than I believed. I'd better get the glasses, because I know my roommate is going to want to watch it for sure.

Our wings are not tired.
It's one thing for her to choose not to enable her daughter. I feel strongly that it's another thing entirely to trot her daughter's name and circumstances out to the media like this.
If she was going to battle with the daughter the time passed a bit over 9 months ago.
There were plenty of my relatives (a generation back) with a dozen kids, but they did it the one or two at a time method. Yes, these would be the Irish Catholic side of the family.
I guess I am having a bunch of people over for football tomorrow. Teens. Off to the grocery store now. That should be fun.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
And, if you do it the Catholic/farm/etc family way, the older children help raise the younger ones.
Is elenahebes anyone here?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just grocery shopped like I'm having a Super Bowl party, but I'm not! I do now have supplies to make queso and chips (I'm not making the chips), black bean soup, and brownies! They might not all be made this weekend.
Also, I just overheard my super giving his son a lesson -- the son was buzzing the intercom, and instead of letting him in, my super is saying, "Why don't you have your keys?" The kid remembered he did have his keys after all.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
No 3D for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And some kids don't want to go to school. Poor noodle. I wonder what his mother did or didn't do so that the father wasn't allowed to leave the kids alone with her.

I purchased stuff for veggie snacks, wings, cheesy bean dip I'll make, meatballs, chips, pretzels, crackers, and other tasty stuff. The grocery clerk knew I had boys and asked how many I was having. When I said I didn't have a clue she gave me 8 pair of 3D glasses. Woo! I also bought wine for me.

That story about the kid driving is so sad. I mean, the article doesn't get into it, but I can only imagine.
I didn't actually go to Target, but I just ordered a bunch of stuff online. We'll see if I keep any of it, or if it just means a trip next weekend to return it all!

Dumb question: what time is the superbowl? (I know it's tomorrow.)
We got about 25 pounds of pork, which is surprisingly manageable. About 5 pounds of sausage, maybe 10-12 pork chops, a couple of packs of shoulder steaks, several packs of sliced ham, uncured bacon, a ham roast... we let someone else take the ribs, and the neck bones and liver!

“Not dead yet!”
That story about the kid driving is so sad. I mean, the article doesn't get into it, but I can only imagine.
And my husband, the game store manager who is forever advising parents on which games might be inappropriate for young kids said, after finding out that the kid had learned how to "drive" from GRAND THEFT AUTO, "Well, at least he didn't stop to pick up a ho or shoot anyone."
