Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I NEED TO SEE THAT! But between the crappy wifi and the crappy computer, it will not happen until tomorrow night. Bah!

Sell the toys and use the money to buy a minifridge for nanny share parents.

I suspect in 6 months I'd be ranting here that there were things rotting in the mini fridge and that I had to throw it out.

It's too much trouble for me to do anything, except trash what they won't take home.

And check where we are on the waiting lists for daycare/preschools.

I really do not understand why a cover letter that states: "I can do what is required for this job or learn it in a very short amount of time. I am responsible, I am diligent, and I am dependable. Hire My Ass." is not ok. Why it is has to be all " in my previous role as a blah blah blah I shamalama ding donged and frilly frally froo frooed. My experience with thingamajigs and hoo hoos appears to be a match for the skills you are looking for in the position of dilly dally mcdagaler."

Because books.

I shamalama ding donged and frilly frally froo frooed

I dare you put that in an actual letter.

I actually sent a few letters with the "I'm a responsible adult who can do this job" sentiment in it. I didn't hear back from any of them, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now, if it remains constant in five year olds with attitude, it may be helpful to a certain daughter of mine.

How about, "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. I could teach you, but I'd have to charge. You know, by you hiring and paying me."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Maybe if you substitute Cutie patatootie for ass?
