Today I Officially Sucked as a Mom

That's about it, really. No one got their meds, so Thing 2 got his first "red/blue" ever, I kicked a crying kid who was screaming, "No, Mommy, No!" out of my bed, and I threatened to pick up Thing 1's Lego masterpiece over my head and smash it into a thousand pieces. Honey, we REALLY missed you today. You're officially indispensable.

Hello, 42 - I'm ready for Ya

Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday to me,
Yahoo to 42,
Happy Birthday to Me!

Nice to Meet You, 2012

I spent the first day of 2012 doing...nothing. Aside from 20 minutes in the kitchen preparing the obligatory pork and cabbage (all you black-eyed pea people just stow it - not gonna happen), I spent this whole day lounging and watching truly bad TV. (Have you ever watched anime? What is the Japanese fixation with boobs, anyway?) No clean up, no work, no shopping - just a pillow and a remote.
By all accounts, a day wasted, yet I can't seem to regret it. What a delicious pleasure it is to simply let the day wash over me. 2012, I think you and I are gonna get along just fine.
