That's really low.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

My brother tried to rebook on another bus to NYC this morning but they were all full, so he and his GF are trying their luck on a Chinatown bus that doesn't take reservations. I haven't heard anything yes, so I have a feeling they're not going to make our matinee today.

My children are WHINING about being taken to the symphony (children's concert.) One of the hardest things for me as a parent is the general ungratefulness of children. I cook a lovely healthy dinner, taking their tastes into account; they would rather eat spaghetti-os. SIGH.

I have been skipping making coffee at home all week in favor of drinking company coffee at the office (I am still a little boggled at free hot beverages at work. I have had an odd career path, such as it is, that has not included that particular perk very often) and for a minute there this morning I was afraid that I had forgotten how, but I pulled it off adequately.

Children really are ungrateful. I try to tell my mom thank you a lot to try and make up for it 30 years later.

It only stings, though, when you are anticipating some reaction other than indifference or ingratitude. I'd like to shake the kids.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh crap, speaking of mothers. I made plans to go out drinking this afternoon, but I forgot I still have to buy a present and some ingredients to celebrate my mother's birthday tomorrow!

I had this post all written but I was afraid it sounded preachy so I deleted it. What I was trying to say is that, post-divorce, I did this great workshop with Magda, of AskMoxie. And it really helped me see that, since I already "failed" wrt marriage, I may as well embrace that and make this family the way I want it. I don't get as angry about them being unappreciative if that was only a very small part of my motivation in the first place. I dont do a lot of the things I probably "should", but I'm much happier now. That's not to say that I don't have my moments, but for me, this is one of those areas that has gotten easier in the last several months because I'm clearer with myself about why I'm doing something for them.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Cousin Fucknut is about to get unfriended.
I have a large family. We've got this one little... middle of nowhere, proudly ignorant, not overly bright, redneck branch. I would rather know whats going on with them than not and, frankly, facebook level contact is about all I'd go for even if they DID live close by. Hell, half the time they aren't even speaking to one another...
So, generally, scrolling by their shit is worth it to know they're alive, who is giving birth, see their latest poor-quality tattoo, and occasionally get to Snopes them.
But this week... This one isn't particularly religious so I can't even bible him for his shit (that can be fun too).
