another list

Here is a list of things I will never do again.


1)Give birth

2)Pierce my ears

3)Have any part in drywalling

4)Eat an entire Lindor chocolate bar (large sized) and a bag of Crispy Minis with a bowl of Chicken Black Bean soup for dessert

5)Participate in the colon blow that was the result of Number 4

6)Drywall

7)Did I mention drywall?

8)Pretend I have a clue about home renovation

9)Have a good nights sleep

10)Drywall

Blah

Why today rates high on the Suck Meter:

1)I am dog tired, however, can not sleep.

2)I haven't showered in two days.

3)THERE IS NO FUCKING SUNSHINE.

4)Child #1 has a new teacher who spent most of today making "fart puddy" with the class. I am willing to bet the farm that this guy has had blond tips within the past three years.

5)I ripped BOTH armpits on my coat.

6)I found not one, not two but THREE HUGE centipedes in my basement.

7)My lips are perpetually chapped. Think 8 year old boy.



SO basically I am in a piss poor mood all around.

Hired hands.

People who hire people to do basement renovation are suckers....or don't have children.

I hope the girls are better with a circular saw than I am.

What I have learned

So in the very early stages of my basement renovation I have learned the following things:

1)No matter how empty your basement is there is still a shit load of crap that needs to be hauled out.

2)Law and Order SVU makes crow bar usage look WAY easier than it actually is.

3)Although I really want to stick it to my doubting parents and not wear eye protection....I most certainly will.

4)I really do love removing splinters.

5)This is going to be a LOT more work than I had anticipated.


So basically my newest project, now that knitting, sock monkeys and Halloween costumes are out of the way, is to finish a large part of my barren basement. While I am in no way a DIY I am super excited to get started, however, I am super excited to get started on a number of projects. Unfortunately this project can't be tucked under my bed or donated to the GoodWill. Should be interesting....

Is it terrible....

....that when I read on aol.com that Oral Roberts died I gasped...then when I realized that they were NOT talking about Orville Redenbacher I was relieved?


Man, that was quite a swing of emotion.

ugh

I HATE Lady Gaga.

The girl

I fear I may have created a monster. Quite literally.

You see, ten years ago I gave birth to one of the most interesting yet totally terrifying child and for some ungodly reason her father and I have allowed her to join Girl Guides.

I am a firm believer that Girl Guides is a terrific organization. I don't know from personal experience because I was the third child and basically got the shaft in terms of extra curricular activities but from I hear it's top notch. Anyhoo, for most children this is a great opportunity to gain skills and confidence. For Sophia this is an opportunity for memorization, deadline meeting, organizing and earning badges.


I flip flop between being highly amused and totally petrified.
